Ashley was sitting on her bed strumming random chords when her phone began to sing. She checked the caller ID before answering.

“Hey Aiden” she knowingly answered

“Get dressed I’m picking you up in 10 minutes” he said

“I don’t know, I’m not really up to it”

“I wasn’t asking. I’m checking out this new bar on Broad Street and I need a wing chick”

Ashley let out a sigh. It was still early. “Alright fine, I’ll see you soon”

She decided that if she was going out, she was doing it right. She dressed to impress, carefully applied just enough make up and took a few shots of the left over vodka from the night before.

Aiden knocked on her door, only 20 minutes later than he said he would.

“You’re late.” Ashley teased as she walked out of the room locking the door behind her.

“Ash, how long have I known you?” Aiden said “I told you ten minutes because I knew that meant thirty in Ashley land”

“Yeah, yeah lets go”

The bar was packed but they managed to grab two stools and order drinks as soon as they walked in.

“Beer” Aiden ordered

“Cranberry vodka please” Ashley added.

The bartender checked their fake ID’s and a minute later handed them their drinks.

Aiden turned in his seat and started scanning the bar for an unaccompanied female. “What do you think of her?” he said pointing to a brunette.

“Come on Aiden, are you drunk already” Ashley teased “What about that one” she pointed to the girl sitting right across the room.

“I think she’s with that guy” Aiden kept looking around. “How about her?” he said pointing to a familiar red head.

Ashley almost spit out the sip of her drink, but quickly covered it up “her?” she said pointing to Brianna.

“Yeah I think I’ve seen her in your building before”

“Aiden, that’s the girl..” she didn’t finish because Brianna had caught them both staring at her. The duo spun back around to face the bartender.

Aiden took a quick look over his shoulder. “I think she’s coming over here” he said.
