“Nothing, still on my grind” Kaden laughed to himself
“Awesome” Brad smiled, “Mind if i steal her?”
“Yeah, no sure” Kaden looked at me meaningfully and turned into the living room where tons of people were milling around
“You look awesome” Brad grinned bobbing his head appreciatively to the music
“You do too” I said eying his khaki’s and striped button up
“Trust me, you stole the show” He attentively took my hand and smoothed his thumb over my palm
“Thanks” I said quietly, “I love this song”
"This one?” Brad asked wrinkling his nose
“Yeah! It’s the wanted” I grinned
“I don’t really do boybands”
“Why not?” I laughed
“A bunch of guys TRYING to sing? It’s a little awkward”
“Don’t knock it till you try it” I said lightheartedly
“It’s weird” He rolled his eyes. I was ready to ask him why he thought that when a familiar voice yelled my name
“ASHLEY! I know you love this song so you better get off the couch and show Keenan up” Lucas walked up to me and grabbed my arm gently. I couldn’t help but laugh. Keenan was in the centre of the room doing hand gestures and a series of what appeared to be foot spasms.
“Sorry, soccer champ. You might rule the field but i OWN the dance floor” He said giving me a shimmy
“God awful” Lucas muttered distastefully. He looked over at me and gave me slow smile
“Honestly” I sighed grinning. I moved to the centre of the room and let my body do the talking. When i was done, i was met with appreciative looks, some high fives, and Keenan giving me a glare
“You cant just show me up like that!” He harrumphed
“But she did” Lucas laughed putting his arm around my waist. I blushed despite myself
“That was really amazing” Lucas murmured steering me out of the living room and into the kitchen but not before I looked back to where I was sitting. Brad was watching me intently
“Lets get you a drink” Lucas laughed handing me a tall red cup
“My body is a temple, I cant put that in it” I said shocked that Lucas would ever even offer me alcohol
“You cant put ginger ale in it?” Kaden asked coming up behind lucas
“Oh…That’s what this is?” I said meekly taking the cup from Lucas
“Yeah, this party is one hundred percent alcohol free…My parents are upstairs” He mock whispered before disappearing again.
“So, are you having fun?” Lucas grinned at me
“Uhm, yep” I replied looking over his head to where Brad sat…or HAD sat. He was gone
“Hes over there” Lucas said in monotone
“Who?”
“The guy your desperately searching for” Lucas said getting up
“I am not desperate!” I yelled at his retreating back
“That’s definitely not the word I would use to describe you. Loud, maybe?” A deep voice laughed from behind me
“I was beginning to think you had ditched me” I turned to Brad
