Ashley's POV
It felt so good to spend time with D and just catch up on stuff we haven't talked about on the phone

Currently he's waiting for me to finish getting ready for the party that's about to start

Mom had finished getting ready and had gone down stairs where the rest of the guests were waiting for instructions. She wore a cute jumpsuit that made her figure pop

I on the other hand wanted to go in jeans again but of course she threatened me and put D in charge of making sure I pick something really nice

After I put my hair up into a neat ponytails using gel, I let two strands on each side fall on my face, then settled for a white mini low back dress, paired with a pair of cute fashion slippers.

"How do I look?" I asked when I was finally done

"How do I look?" I asked when I was finally done

He looked up from his phone and smiled "breath taking. Come on let's go"

I nodded and we both headed out hand in hand. When we reached the bottom of the stairs D stopped me and spun me so I could face him

"I need you to promise me something" he kept his hands on my shoulders with a serious expression. I nodded for him to go on "don't pay attention to Aiden and just enjoy the day, can you do that for me?"

I frowned at him " D yo-"

"Please Ashley?" He interrupted pleading

My frown deepened, I can't just ignore Aiden on the day that was supposed to be our anniversary too this was already one of the worst days and I had to spend it looking at him with another girl, I nodded agreeing

He gave a small smile then pulled me to where everyone was waiting, I knew he didn't believe me but he didn't push it

"I'm guessing everyone is here" Josh spoke up to grab everyone's attention. He and his wife wore the same summer hat and shade of blue clothings  "let's head over to the beach"

Everyone cheered and started heading to the beach. No one knew where the event was going to take place and I'm glad it's the beach

D piggy backed me up to the beach, we were laughing and talking animatedly until he abruptly stopped.

My jaw dropped at the sight before me, it was a huge party boat, a yacht? It wasn't suite life on deck big but it was big enough, with a pool and a bar and everything on it

Josh smiled turning to everyone with Kairah in his arms bridal style "welcome everyone we are taking the party to the water, I hope there's no one who's scared of water" he announced then turned and jumped on the yacht

We all found ourselves on the yacht and the party started as it left the beach. D and I found a table to stand at "we have to take shots" he said calling the waiter and requesting for two

He threw his arm over my shoulder and squeezed it with a smile "enjoy the party, you promised"

I was looking up at him when his smile wavered and he tensed up a bit. My curious eyes turned to the direction he was looking at.
