New Horizons
What Happened Here?
When I got back to Andy’s the next day everyone was still asleep. It was like going over a mine field trying to get to the bedroom! Guys were sprawled out all over the floor amongst bottles and random articles of clothing. I’m pretty sure I even spotted some of my bras and thongs…I do not want to know what they were doing.
I finally got to the bedroom and I nearly tripped over Ashley because he was right inside the frickin door way. He stirred but didn’t get up. Andy was sprawled out on the bed in his boxers. At least they seemed to have a good night.
I put my bag down and then went to the kitchen. Might as well make them breakfast.
The kitchen was pretty messy too but it wasn’t as bad as the living room. I cleaned it up a little, taking care of the bottles and the food wrappers, before I started cooking.
As soon as I finished the pancakes and coffee Ashley came into the kitchen. “Did you kick me or something?” He asked sitting down at the island.
“Um…I accidentally tripped over you. I didn’t know you were right inside the door.” I answered handing him a glass of water and some ibuprofen. “I have coffee and pancakes whenever you’re ready.” I said and looked in the freezer for some bacon. I looked back at Ashley, who was just looking at me. “Okay, I know you’re extremely hung over or still extremely trashed but I think we should get this off the table.” I walked over to the island so that I was facing Ashley.
He looked a bit annoyed, “What?”
“I know you and the guys are pissed at me and I understand why. I treated Andy horribly during Warped. I’m sorry about that and I feel terrible. I was so pissed at myself that I even tried leaving him because I thought he deserved someone better than me. But he begged me to stay and I didn’t want to hurt him anymore, so I stayed. I love Andy and he stuck with me through some pretty shitty times so he obviously for some crazy reason lobes me too. So I’m sorry for being such a shitty girlfriend to your friend. Please don’t be pissed at me for forever?”
“Did you prepare that whole speech for when you got me alone?” Ashley asked with a smirk.
“No, I just came up with it on the spot.” I answered.
“Impressive.” He said with a smile.
I let out a sigh of relief and laughed. At least he didn’t seem to hate me at the moment. “Yeah, I know. I was kind of surprised myself.”
“I’m going to get everyone else up. If I’m up everyone else should be up.” Ashley stood up and left the kitchen.
Andy was the first one into the kitchen. His hair was a mess and he looked downright tired. “Hey babe, when did you get back?” He had a pair of shorts on now.
“An hour or so.” I answered turning back to what I was cooking.
He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. “Smells good.”
“So, tell me. Why is my underwear scattered across the living room?” I asked as he went to go sit down in the seat that Ashley had previously occupied.
He picked up the bottle of ibuprofen and took some. “I’m going to claim not to remember.” He said and took a sip of the glass of water.
“Is there a reason that they should now be burnt?” I asked watching him.
He thought about it for a second and then nodded, “I’m going to say yes.”
I sighed, “Any ways, Katelyn and Sammi are planning on living together while you guys are gone on your tour and Katelyn wants me to also. Not that I don’t live there now…I’m just here all the time.”
Andy crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in the chair. I could tell he was thinking because he was biting his bottom lip and lip ring. It was tempting not to kiss him. Guys always complained about how tempting it was when a girl did it and now I see why. “We should get a place together after the tour.”
I smiled, “Okay.”
Before anything else could be said people started filing into the kitchen.
“So what’s on the schedule for today?” I asked after everyone was sitting down at the table or the island. I was sitting on Andy’s lap because there wasn’t enough room for everyone.
“Nothing.” CC answered taking a bit of his food.
“We should go to the beach.” I said looking out the window. Most summers I spent a lot of time at the beach but this summer I had been so busy that I didn’t have the chance to.
“Us at the beach?” Danny responded and laughed. “Isn’t there a bunch of tourists?”
“Not at a privately owned beach.” I answered with a smile. “Mine and Katelyn’s parents own some beach front property so we have a nice stretch of beach that we could have all to ourselves.”
“Damn! How much money do you guys have?” Ashley asked.
“It’s not my money, it’s my parents. And it’s enough.” I answered. “So is everyone up for a day at the beach?” Everyone agreed to it.
I looked at Jinxx. “Is Sammi Doll doing anything today? Because it would be awesome if she could come.”
“I think she has a photo shoot but I can see if she wants to come after.” Jinxx answered.
“I can ask Juliet to come and I’m sure Katelyn will after work.” I said as I picked up my phone to text them.
After breakfast everyone went home to get their swim trunks and whatever else they needed. I gave them directions so that they could find the houses. And Juliet was coming over so that she could ride with Andy and me.
“You and Ashley seem to be getting along now.” Andy said pulling on his swim trunks as I pulled my sundress over my bikini.
“I talked with him, explained things and apologized for being such a bitch.” I answered. “What did you guys do last night? And you can’t pull the, I can’t remember, card because I know you do.”
Andy smirked and put his hands on my hips, pulling me closer to him. “What did you do?”
I rolled my eyes and laughed at the fact that he was avoiding the subject. “Ate ice cream, watched chick flicks and talked.” I answered. “Now your turn.” I answered stepping away so that I could find my flip flops.
“It’s like what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I can’t tell you.” Andy answered.
“Well I think that since my underwear is all over the apartment I should be able to know.” I answered picking up my flip flops.
“Speaking of Vegas.” Andy went on. “Did you know there were rumors going around our group of friends about us going to Vegas to get married?” He looked amused.
I nodded, “Yep and did you hear the other ones?”
He nodded, “I told them that the marriage one was true just to mess with them. But I told them that you didn’t want anyone to know because you were afraid that it would get to your parents.”
“Seriously, Andy?” I asked not believing him. “Wait is that why Ashley forgave me so easily?”
Andy laughed, “Probably.”
There was a knock on the door. “I’ll get it, it’s probably Juliet.” I answered and raced to the door.
“You are married and you didn’t tell me yourself!” Juliet said as soon as I opened the door. “We didn’t even get to throw you a bachelorette party.”
“Nice to see you too Juliet.” I said laughing. “And no I’m not. It was just a rumor that Andy thought it would be funny to confirm.”
“Hey, she didn’t want anyone to know because of her parents.” He said going with the whole thing.
Juliet looked at both of us with a confused look. “So are you or not?”
“We are not.” I answered giving Andy an ‘I dare you to contradict me’ look.
Juliet looked around the apartment. “Seems like you guys had fun last night.”
“That would be Andy and the boys.” I answered. Juliet and I both looked at Andy.
Andy smirked, “So is everybody ready?”
I finally got to the bedroom and I nearly tripped over Ashley because he was right inside the frickin door way. He stirred but didn’t get up. Andy was sprawled out on the bed in his boxers. At least they seemed to have a good night.
