When we arrived at the party my first reaction was to look for Ashley, I know that it’s wrong to want to see her but it has been a week and I miss the way she smiles. I scan the room and I don’t see her or her band I see the stage that they will play on but no band.

I was taken out of my gaze when I felt an arm slide over my back and a hand rest on my belly pulling me closer, tighter into her. I knew it was her by the smell and the way her fingers crawled across my belly. I closed my eyes and sucked in that feeling of complete comfort, and the emotion and desire those hands have.

I didn’t move not at first I only tilted my head back into her more. In the back of my head I remembered V but I really didn’t care at this point. I felt cool breath on my neck and I felt it flow into my ear.

“I knew you would come back to me!” her breath reeked of alcohol and the smell of cigarettes rolled of her tongue.

I took a step forward breaking her embrace, I hated this. “I’m not here for you I actually….” She cut me off mid sentence

“I know you’re here with someone I see that, why she can’t make you happy make you feel…” it was my turn to stop her

“No Ashley stop! You’re drunk and spewing at the mouth, you did this now sit back and feel the way I do for once.” I said turning and looking at the bar where V is getting our drinks.

I felt her arm again this time tighter, I didn’t struggle just let her talk.

“I know I did this and for that I am sorry, but what you are doing is just stupid I know you can’t be with her, because if you are you’ll only see me.” She let go of me, it seemed like perfect timing because V came up with my drink. I knew Ashley was still behind me not just because of V’s eyes on her but I could feel her close to my back.
