“Sure.” We hurried up to the balcony and stripped to only our underwear. After getting in we noticed that we were no longer alone, David was standing there on the balcony in only his boxers.

“Mind if I joined you ladies?” he asked.

“Actually, yes we do-” that was all Ashley could get out before he did a jump into the hot tub, causing a splash. Ass. I thought. But all we could do was sit there and let him get in. Ashley was getting really mad, but I mouthed to her don’t. She caught it and said,

“I’m going to the bathroom for a minute.”

“Suit yourself.” David, now resurfacing, said. After Ashley had left I felt his eyes on me. “Do you know how hot you look?”

“What?”

“You heard me.”

“Yea but what are you trying to do?”

“This!” he yelled before lunging at me trying to kiss me, however I had already moved to the other side of the tub.

“What the hell?”

“Shut up and come here!” He grabbed my shoulders and tried to kiss me, I pushed him away but he was too strong. All I could do was push away as hard as I could and make an ‘MMMM’ noise with my mouth.

“What the hell?” I heard Ashley say from the doorway o the balcony. As soon as I heard that David’s body fell limp in front of me. Ashley must’ve hit him. I pushed him out of my way and jumped out of the tub, wrapping Ashley in a bear hug repeatedly saying thank you. “What happened here?” she asked, and I told her the story of everything that happened. When I was finished she asked me, “Are you OK?” she asked me.

“I’m fine now.” I responded before giving her the most passionate kiss you could imagine.

“Alright,” she said after breaking the kiss for air, “let’s go back to our house.” Her saying that sent shivers through my body; just the thought of owning a house with her was amazing.

Prom was coming up and everyone was getting dates. Everyone except me and Ashley though. I had asked her about it, but she always responded with a stern ‘no’. I knew she didn’t like dances but I really wanted to go. My life was amazing, I was still living in Ashley’s house and everything in my life couldn’t have been better in any way. Except the dream that kept reoccurring, the one with the shooting.
