Josh’s pov
“why are you running to, Jeff? Go to the other way.”
“I’m trying, okay? But the stupid avatar won’t move.” Jeffrey tried defending himself.
“hey, you are the stupid avatar, remember?” I smirk.
“shut up, Josh.” Jeffrey scowled.
“Jeff, Shoot before they kill me?” Jayden yelled again.
I just rolled my eyes as i stared at the screen. It was already obvious that Jayden’s avatar was going to get killed. Wow, Jason and Jackson really make great partners.
“fu-ck!” Jayden cursed as he threw the xbox angrily on the floor and frowned his face at Jeffrey.
“what?”
“you caused this, you know that, right?”
“no, i don’t.” Jeffrey said as he took a seat beside me.
“c’mon, Jay. It’s just a game. No big deal.” I tried to lighten his mood.
“just a game? nah, it’s a game i was suppose to win and not lose.” He said. I just rolled my eyes and look down at my phone and started operating on it.
“I’m hungry.” Jason said as he got up from the floor and started making his way to the kitchen but stopped and turned to me. “when are you going for your date? I mean, its about time.”
“hmm.”
He shrugged and disappeared into the kitchen. He was right. Oh, i forgot to inform you guys about what day it was. Anyway, enough of the suspense. Today was Saturday, the D-day. ‘our date.’
I stare at the screen of my phone to see what time it is, it reads, 6:30pm. fu-ck, where is she? I only asked her to dress as a girl, nothing much so, what was still keeping her up?
“she must have changed her mind.” Jayden smir-ked.
They didn’t know who my date was. They thought it was just a girl i must have crossed path with, well, i wanted to surprise them. I mean, who don’t love surprises?
“oh my God, did you get ditched on your first date with a girl?” Jeffrey questioned.
I rolled my eyes. “not funny, dude.”
“is she a musician? Is she girly? Is she cute? Does she has long legs?”
“have you fu-ck her yet? how did you guys met?”
“oh my God, did you inform Jessie…i mean, Ashley about it?”
“about what?” We heard a feminine voice from behind. We all spun around at once and found three girls standing. Two of the girls looked familiar. They were Jasmine and Tiffany but the last one…she…she …
“Ashley?” Jayden asked not sure of himself.
“yes.” The girl answered in a duh tone.
We all made our way to them. Our li-ps were dropped Opened. My eyes trailed the girl who claimed to be Ashley from her head which was made in a ponytail, she was indeed Ashley. She was looking so perfect. She was wearing make up for the first since I’ve known her. She was wearing a white gown which stopped at her upper knees. The dress had some tiny holes at the ch-est, wa-ist line and sides. It was a white dress, that was so unlike her. She wore a black heel shoe which was reaching her ankle. She carried a black bag which hung over her shoulder. She was looking so beautiful.
Why will such a beautiful girl hide something like this from the whole world?
“Mr grumpy?” She called out.
“you can close your mouth now…all of you.” Jasmine ordered with a smirk on her face.
We all did as we were told and closed our mouths but our eyes never left her body.
She was feeling uncomfortable in the dress, i could tell.
“what the fu-ck!” Jason yelled from the kitchen as he ran towards us. “who is this angel?” He stare at Ashley closely then he suddenly gasp. “Ashley! is that you!?”He screamed.
“yes? Do i look bad?”
“you…you look so beautiful. Wow. where have you been all my life?”
“I’ve been here.”
He smiled. “i mean, this part of you. Why were you hiding it? Are you single?” She chuckled. “if you are, can you do me the honor by becoming my gir-”
I smack him at the back of his head.
“ow! Man, that hurts.”
“does it look like i care?” I walked over to her and extended my head to her.
“wait, was she your date?” The guys all asked.
Jasmine and Tiffany clic-ked their tongues. “tsk, tsk. isn’t it obvious?” They said in unison.
Ashley finally placed her hand on mine and i smiled when i saw the blus-h on her face. She look so perfect and fu-cking beautiful. Why didn’t i notice? Oh, i was a jerk from the beginning.
“let’s go.” I said and we both left the room as all eyes were on my baby girl. Wait, did i just call her my baby girl? Hmm, i have to claim her fast before someone else beats me to it.
“you haven’t said anything.” She said where we got outside. We were standing my the side of a motorcycle. “oh my God. Are we going on that?”
“you don’t want to?”
“i fu-cking Want to. Wow.” She smiled at the motorcycle. “let’s go.” She squealed.
I smiled as i hopped onto the car and wore a helmet. I extended one to her, she smiled and collected it from my grasp and wore it. She gently climbed the motorcycle.
“hold on tight.”
“ho…” I cut her off by riding off the compound at a very high speed. She quickly wrapped her hands on my wa-ist very tight. Her chin was resting on my shoulder. “do you want to fu-cking kill me!” She yelled.
“you just swore, princess.”
“whatever.” She mumbled.
I smir-ked. There was no doubt. I think i like like Ashley.

Subtitle : The Date (part 2)
Josh’s pov
We finally came to a stop in front of a building which had a fish sign on it. This place was once an aquarium but was closed down for God knows why.
It was more like my hideout from the whole world. When i was just seven years old, my mom had brou-ght me here to stare at the fishes and other water creatures.
She had once said when we visited the aquarium, ( note: the aquarium was still running then). I quote:
‘Whenever you want to have your own time, your own space an your own world. Come here and stare at the fishes, they will always comfort you.’
Though, there were no fishes here again but i had those words buried in my heart.
Ashley stare at me confusedly and raised a single brow at me.
“seriously? Do you hate me this much to bring me here? This is an abandoned aquarium for christ sake.”
“just shut up and follow me.” I started walking to the back of the aquarium. I heard her sigh before following me.
“slow down. This shoes are aching me!” She said after me.
“then take it off.” I answered without turning back.
“and walk on b-arefoot? No, thank you.” We kept walking, i could hear her mumble some words behind me then finally asked. “where are you taking me too?”
“to murder you.” She stopped walking. I smir-ked as i turned to her. “just kidding.”
“Don’t joke with me like that again.” She hiss as she started walking towards me.
“wait, you believe i will murder you?”
We were walking side to side now.
“of course.”
Well, that hurt a bit. She don’t trust me. I get it. I mean, who will trust a guy who break other ladies heart and treat her badly? No one, right?
We finally got to a clearance. It has fresh gra-ss, and we walked forward, Ashley gaso at the sight in front of us.
We are standing on a cliff, overlooking the sea. To the left is a beach and on the right is the city.
The cliff makes a U shape and directly below us is water, in the middle of the U is sand.
“wow.” She exclaimed with wide eyes.
Well, i didn’t mention this part earlier, did i? Nope. Okay, what kept me coming wasn’t the words of my mother, well, it partly was but it was mostly because of this place.
The place was my hideout. It was the place where i get to be away from the world, from my fans, from my career….from everybody. My mom was right.
Ashley was the first person ever to come here with me. Why had u brou-ght her here? I don’t know but i don’t regret it at all.
“how did you find a place like this?” She asked as she turned to look at me.
“i walked and ended up here?” I answered in a duh tone.
“not helpful.” She said as she rolled her eyes and look back at the water below us.
I slowly walked behind her and pushed her, she almost fell but i quickly wrapped my arms around her wa-ist and pulled her back up.
She was breathing heavily from the shock. U couldn’t help it as i started laughing and released her wa-ist.
She glared at me. “th…that isn’t funny!” She warned with gritted teeth. “you almost killed me!” She added.
“and i saved you. You’re welcome.” I replied still laughing.
“I’m gonna get you back for this! Watch your back, jacka-ss.” She threatened.
“i love the look on your face. You were so scared.”
“shut up.”
Minutes later, we were both sitting on the fresh gras-swatching the stars on the sky.
“this is beautiful.” She whispered with a smile plastered on her pretty face.
“just like you.” I added and she slowly brou-ght her gaze upon me. ”you really look beautiful tonight.”
I saw her face heat up and i smiled. I was glad that i could make her blus-h. “thank you.” She muttered and smiled.
“you are the first person to come here with me, it’s an honor, princess.”
“you are kidding, right?” I shook my head no. “wait, you mean, you’ve never brou-ght in any girl up here before?” She asked in a surprise tone. A very surprise one.
“I’m serious. You are the first.” I sighed as i looked back up at the sky. “i would have brou-ght her here,” I whispered.
“who? one of your girlfriends?”
I chuckled. “no, but my mother.” I answered.
“ooh.”
“yeah. You keep judging me wrongly.”
”don’t blame me.”
I laugh softly. “i won’t.” She smiled. “she was the one who showed me the aquarium in the first place but unfortunately, i didn’t get to show this place to her before she left.”
“did she travel?”
I smiled. “i wish she did. But no, she left. She went up there.” I point at the dark sky with stars.
Her gaze followed my finger to the sky and she sighed. “you must really miss her.”
“like crazy.” I’ve never told anyone about my mother aside from Joshua, of course. He was my best friend before what happened took place.
“how about your dad?” She asked. This was one question i try to avoid.
I wasn’t going to answer but something kept pushing me to. Her eyes were fixed on me as she waited for an answer. Which i finally gave in.
“he left.”
“he died?” She asked wide eyes.
“nah. i wish he did.” Honeatly, i really wish that. I mean, that would have been a better explanation than leaving me for another woman.
“what happened?”
“He left me for another people. After my mom died, he left. He left me with my mom’s family. He said he was tired of me. He said he has just been keeping up with me because of my mother. He called me a weakling.” I paused as memory of that day came flooding back. “I pleaded with him not to leave. I told him i will be whatever he wants me to be. I told him i will be strong for him. I apologized for being a weakling but…” I took in a de-ep breath. “He left.” I smiled. “i hated him but yet hope and wish that he would come back for me. But years came and i turned nineteen, but my dad never showed up, not even once. I decided to track him down and that was when i knew he had another family and two kids. He even denied me publicly. Since that day i came to the realization that he wasn’t coming back. I decided to prove him wrong and show him that i wasn’t a weakling.” I paused again. “and that was how i turned out to be who i am today. And i also grew to hate the word, sorry.”
Ashley was now staring at me. Her eyes were glossy with tears. She was going to cry. She was going to cry for me. No one has ever cried for me. No one as ever pitied me. Okay, I’ve never told anyone my story.
I smiled. “don’t pity me, princess. Don’t cry for me. It’s all in the past now.”
She shook her head. “no. You are still waiting for him. You are still hoping that one day he would come for you and that’s why you are scared to say sorry so when he comes he won’t apologize to him again.” She was right. She was truly correct. I didn’t say anything. “Josh,” She called softly. I stare at her. “Let go of the past. Your father don’t worth it. You’ve grew up to become a better person and I’m certain, your mother is proud of you just as i am proud of you.” She smiled throu-ghher tears and held my right arm. “don’t be afraid to apologize to the people you’ve hurt. Don’t be afraid to see your father again. Just be you. And trust me, you are not alone,” She smiled. “you have me,” She paused. “and you have your friends as well. You have us all.”
“Ashley…” I paused. “can i ki-ss you?” TBC.
