“Well yeah. It was supposed to be a surprise.”

“Some surprise.” I mumble.

“You rocked it though.” A voice says from behind me. I whirl around to face Ashley. I look her up and down for a moment. That is a really short skirt…Her hot pink bra is visible underneath her black vest. Her black stilettos are at least two inches taller than mine. Her brown bangs are highlighted pink, the same color as her bra. Her chocolate eyes are outlined with her smoky eyeliner.

“Thanks.” I say, grinning. “You rocked out on your guitar.”

She shrugs. “That was nothing.” She says, grinning. I think she’s being cocky…I hate cocky people…but right now, it’s pretty hot.

I shrug. “Still, thank-you. I probably wouldn’t have done it if I was in your shoes.” I say, being completely honest. It’s not that I don’t like helping other people…but hey, like I said, she’s competition.

“Let’s be glad that you’re not in my shoes then huh?” She smirks. “Or you would’ve been out of luck.”

I chuckle…maybe I should’ve taken that as an insult. It was funny though. I cross my arms as I speak. “So, how did you guys know the song?”

Ashley shrugs as if it’s no big deal. “We bought your CD.” She says. My mouth drops open.

“You all bought my CD?” I ask. She smirks again.

“We’re fans.”

Damn, now I feel kind of guilty. She has my CD and I don’t have hers? We are definitely stopping by Wal-mart when we leave here.

“Thanks.” I say, smiling. “My music is nothing compared to yours though.” Lie…complete lie. Well, it could be true. Either way, I wouldn’t know.

“Spencer!” Cassie says from behind me. I fight the urge to snap at her. I’m talking to a sexy woman…and she wants to interrupt me.

“Yeah?” I ask, not bothering to turn around. Cassie stops beside me.

“Come dance with me and Damian.” She says. I roll my eyes. What do I look like dancing with her and Damian? I face her, intent on telling her no. “You can come too Ryan.” She says. I whip around to look at Ryan. He’s still here? Sitting in the same spot? I turn back around to glare at Cassie. Ashley chuckles. What the hell is she laughing at?

“Sure.” Ryan says, standing from his seat.

“Cool.” Cassie says and begins to make her way out of the booth. Ryan turns to follow her before turning back to me.

“Coming?” He asks, holding his hand out to me. I sigh and turn back to Ashley.

“See you later?” I ask.

“Actually, I’m about to head out.” She says, twirling her keys around a finger. “I’m sure I’ll see you somewhere though.” She says.

I nod. “I’m sure.” I say. I turn my back on her to follow Ryan out to the dance floor. I spend the rest of the night sandwiched in between Ryan and Cassie: Ryan grinding on my back, and Cassie grinding on my front…and Damian behind her. Some celebration…
