Ashton was sitting in the edge of the pool with his jeans fold to his knees and his feet were swinging back and forward in the water.
-Here. -I said and he looks at me with a smile on his face.
-Thank you, Bella.
-What were you thinking about? -I said sitting by his side.
-Nothing in special. Just drunk thoughts. -He laughs.
-Oh really? No shit! We're drunk as heck. -He nodded. His hand that was previously in his hair messing it more, goes to my leg. I don't move a muscle. Maybe that's how drunk me works.
He noticed what he did and quickly moves his hand to his hair again.
-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Fuck, I hate being drunk. -he sights and I smile to comfort him.
-It's okay. Probably we're not going to remember anything of this night by the morning. -he giggles a little.
-I hope I do. Do you know? I really want to get to know you better. You seem so cool and I can see you like so many things I like!
-Like what? -I asked wanting to know more about this boy.
-I don't know right now, but you dress really nicely. -I throw a loud laugh.
-You dress nicely too. I love Joy Division. And you look so good with bandanas.
-Do you think so?
-Yeah, of course. You're so cute, shit. -I said when he smiled at me. His dimples were deeper than the ocean and I could see his eyes glowing.
-We're not gonna remember anything so... fuck this. -he said and just after that, his lips were on mine. My whole body froze and I didn't do anything... until someone pushed me into the pool.
-What the actual fuck? -I yelled as soon as I came to the top of the water. Ashton was completely frozen in place and I could hear Jade's laugh. -I hate you J.
-Oh, you should have seen his face. It was priceless. He probably thought that you were running away from that kiss. -she was in tears.
-Hi Jade. -Ash says making us both look at him. He was red and I could tell he was pretty embarrassed.
-I'm so sorry Ashton. I really had to do it. -she was still laughing and my eyes rolled.
I make my way inside with Ashton following me. I was soaked from head to toes and my make-up was ruined.
-I'm sorry about that. -I say while we both enter my room.
-I should be the one apologizing. I was the one that kissed you. I shouldn't have done that.
-It's okay. I just wasn't expecting that. We don't know anything about each other and I'm not looking for anything like that right now. -I try to comfort him and make this sound the best way possible. -But we could be friends, really good friends. -I say sitting by his side on my bed.
My clothes were still soaked and I really need to change them but I don't want him to go thinking about the wrong things.
-Yeah... Maybe we could. -he looks at his phone. -Shit, I need to go right now. I hope I see you again soon. -He says and I nodded.
-Bye Ash.
-Bye Bella! See you around. Welcome to the beautiful city of Sydney.
As soon as he leaves my room I changed to a more simple look picking a tight black skirt and a black body. I took all my make-up off. I don't want this to be the end of the night so I quickly ran downstairs looking for Jade.
-Here's the girl! -she says to someone and pushed me to her side.
-I can see you already changed your dirty dress. -Luke.
-I know Ashton left so let me introduce you to another cutie. -she whispers in my ear and I rolled my eyes.
-I don't think so, Jade. He's a piece of shit. -I say and Jade laughs.
-He can be a little annoying sometimes but give it a try. He looks like a piece of heaven!
-Never in a million years! -I said and I can see Luke roll his eyes.
I make my way to the pool again and I noticed that I was being followed for someone.
-Where you're going, princess? -His voice sounds from behind me.
-That's not of your business. Why are you following me? -I said crossing my eyes in front of my chest. He stops in front of me and imitates me.
-Who said I was following you? I just wanted to sit by the pool. -he giggles and I sighted.
I sat down on the opposite side of him and slowly laid my back in the grass behind me. The stars were so beautiful tonight and if I didn't know I was drunk I would say that they're moving up and down in the sky.
The whole world was spinning around and I couldn't ask for a better feeling right now. This is really going to be the summer of my life. I need to enjoy my last summer before university and I'm sure partying the whole summer is the way to go. I got up fast and ran inside so I can dance with everyone.
My body moved at the sound of Don't Look Down by Martin Garrix and I could tell some eyes were on me because I moved like never before, like there's nobody else there. Soon Jade had joined me and I could tell she was pretty drunk too.
****
I wake up with a massive headache. The sun was shining through the bedroom window and last night was a complete blur. I remember talking to Ashton for a while and after that, I don't seem to remember anything else.
I texted Cameron and my mother, letting them know I was fine after I didn't answer their calls the whole night. My phone made sure to let me know it was already 2 P.M.
I turned on the hot water to take a bath. The water in my body calmed my headache and I finally was able to think about some random things. I get out of there when I'm done showering picking up my black jeans and a random t-shirt.
Jade enters my room panting.
-What happened? Are you okay? -I said and she sits in my bed with her hand running through her hair.
-I... I slept with... I slept with Lauren! -she says not believing in the words that came out of her mouth.
-And what about that? I slept with my girl friends so many times back in California. -I said and she looks at me with worry in her face.
-Bella... we were both completely naked! -Tears started to run down her face and I could tell now that this was serious.
-And you don't remember anything? -I said sitting by her side and hugging her.
-I don't, but she said we... we fucked. Bella, I've never slept with a girl before. I don't even like girls... I think!
-Jade, there's nothing wrong with that! -I said trying to calm her down and she smiled a little.
-You know what? -she says.
-What? -I said still trying to comfort her.
-You have to stop believing everything I say. For God's sake Bella! -she laughs hysterically
-I can't believe you really joked with something like this J! -I say and she tries to stop laughing, which she obviously can't.
-I didn't sleep with her. I was just messing around. She left with Ashton last night. I think something happened with their mom.
-But is everything alright? -I asked worriedly.
-I don't know. Lauren hasn't texted me yet.
We talked for a while about that and she thought that was better if she visited Lauren. They're best friends and maybe something is happening.
I didn't feel like staying in such a big house alone so I decided to go for a walk on the beach.
When I arrived there, it was almost empty. Some guys were surfing far away from where I was.
I sat in the sand and watched the waves while listening to some music.
The sea was so calm today and I wondered why the beach was so empty.
I took some time to think about this summer and If I should travel to other countries or just stay here in Sydney. I really want to get to know more countries but in Sydney, I already have Jade and a house to stay. If I travel more I'm gonna waste so much more money and I don't have anyone. I'm completely alone.
For now, I'm gonna stay in Sydney for a few more days. After that, only time will tell...
