Chapter 3
"Ready to go AC?"
"Yup."
I had finally finished unpacking and was ready to go out with Bri. We walked out the door and down the street to a restaurant.
"Happy Birthday," he whispered in my ear.
"You remembered."
"Of course. So tell me about what's changed."
"Well, I'm 21 now, Zoe's 25, Ariana's 23, Ash is 19, and Steph's 18. Ash and I are thinking about buying an apartment together but other than that everything's pretty much the same except I grew 2 inches and am now 5'4."
"Congratulations, 4 more inches and you'll be as tall as me."
At this point the waiter came and took our orders. We ate and talked for about an hour. Then dessert came. It was a cake with Happy 21st Birthday AC wrote on the top.
He pulled out a box. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
In the box there was a ring with an aqua stone in it.
"Yes," I answered and put the ring on.
We finished dessert and walked back to
the hotel hand in hand.
~*~Nick and Ash's date~*~
They left the hotel and drove to a deserted park. On one of the tables there was a candlelight picnic dinner. (it was night time)
"So what you think," he asked.
"Oh my gosh it's wonderful," she breathed.
He held her hand and led her to the table. They ate and talked for an hour. Then Nick got serious. He pulled out a box and handed it to her. Inside was a necklace with a pendant with the inscription, "Nick and Ashley Forever".
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes," she was teary eyed and they walked back to the hotel, yes, hand in hand.
We got back at the same time and walked upstairs to Kevin's room. We entered.
"Did we miss something," AJ asked eyeing our hands.
"Yes," I replyed, "I went on a date with Bri and Ash went on a date with Nick and now I go out with Bri and Ash goes out with Nick."
"I didn't tell you," Ash said.
"Your my best friend. I know you real well. Your holding hands and look all happy. I figured it out."
"Oh."
Everyone laughed and we left the room and stood on the balcony for hours.
