"Did you hear who he slept with?'

"What do you mean? He never sleeps with anyone."

"I heard he just plays hard to get."

"Apparently he goes both ways."

The rumors that I constantly hear about me are getting entirely too old. 

Everyday, no matter where I go people talk. Everyone is always so concerned with me and my business and they simply can not help themselves. Most of it is jealousy, the females I won't give the time to do most of the talking. Hell even the men who have tried have talked major shit.

My business is my business.

So why doesn't anyone get that? If I tell someone no and that I am not interested maybe they should take a damn hint, not harass me.

"Hey sunshine, what is with the long face?" My good friend Jacely asked me as she sat down next to me.

"Same 'ole shit, just a different day." I said as I took a hit off of my cigarette.

"You poor baby, don't let these low life people bring you down man. I know what can cheer you up!" I already dread where this is going. I really don't want to-- "Let's go out tonight!" Go out. That is what I don't want nor need.

"I don't know Jace, I have a lot to do tomorrow morning." It was a lie but I don't care.

"Like what? I know you don't have work tomorrow because I work with you and we are all off. Don't be like this Ari, you and I haven't went out for a while. We can even bring some friends! I'll bring Lydia and Alex and even..." I already know what name she is going to say. "Parker! You two really seem to hit if off the last time we all hung out."

"Sounds like fun Jace, but I'm not interested and I am definitely not interested in Parker." Maybe one day she will understand the words no.

"Is it cause he's a guy?" No one knows my sexuality and I like to keep it that way. Will I flirt with both sexes? Hell yeah I do and I don't care.

"It's because he is Parker and Parker is a whole entire whore and I don't want to be affiliated with that. Is that a good enough answer?"

"So you'll go tonight then?" Did she really not hear a single thing that just came out of my mouth? Honestly at this point I am getting nowhere with her, she is not going to take no for an answer no matter what I say.

"Yes Jacely, I will go. I hope you are happy." The girl squealed and pulled me in for a hug.

"Make sure to look extra nice Ari! You might just find that right person tonight!" She kissed my cheek and hurried off, probably to tell Lydia the 'great' news.

There won't be that special someone because I will let them be anything to me.

'But Ari, what if they want to be seduced and they keep touching you, then what?' Then I might let them be a quick fuck but that is it. After that they can go on to the next person. As if I am ever that lucky.

I had been sitting outside of my apartment for a while before I decided it was time to go get ready. I took one last hit of my cigarette before tossing it out, this is a habit that I do need to stop.

As I began walking up the stairs to get to my floor I had bumped pretty hard into some one which sent us both stumbling backwards.

"Oh shit man I am really sorry, I didn't even hear you coming around!" I moved my hair out of my face before really looking at the man. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, a face that I haven't seen before.

"Yeah, same here." Was all I said because I was too busy observing the man. He was a bit taller than me, had a lip piercing and had captivating eyes.

"Uh yeah..."

"I've never seen you before."

"Oh, well yeah I just recently moved here actually. I'm Ashton, but you can call me Ash." He held out his hand for me to shake it.

I don't want to tell him my name, I don't need him to know it. So I'm not going to tell him.

"It's a pleasure." I said as I shook his hand. "I have to get going, but I am sure I'll see you around." And just like that I went straight to my apartment.

Ashton. There was something about him, just that little moment. I don't need to be around him.

"Please have a good time Ari! Get yourself some drinks, or even try to get someone else to buy them, I don't care. Just please have a good time." Jacely said to me as we walked inside of the club.

"Where are the others?" I said completely changing the subject.

"They should be here somewhere." She was looking around all the many people that were there dancing and conversating. I don't know why we all just didn't ride together.

"Hey beautiful." I heard behind me. I turned around to see it was Lydia talking to Jacely.

"I'm so glad you made it!" She said as she grabbed the taller girl, pulling her closer.

"Hey Ari." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Parker." I have got to get away from this guy, I can only handle so much stupidity before I lose it.

This guy is full of it.

"You wanna--" Before he could ask me anything I simply walked away from him, he had already talked way too much for me.

Jacely told me to go and have a good time so here I am. Ordering myself a drink and hoping I don't black out. Whatever happens after that, well, just happens.

So I have had quite a few drinks at this point, and I am truly feeling myself. I am ready to take on that dance floor.

"Hey can I get a shot of Bourbon." That voice was oddly familiar. I looked to my left only to see him.

"Ashton?" He turned to me and gave me a little smile. "Make that two." I told the bartender. He started pulling his money out but I grabbed mine first.

"Let me, it's the least I can do after earlier." He said to me.

"I insist. I got it." The man nodded and put his money away. The bartender slid us our drinks and winked at me, well that was gross.

"To us." He said as he held the drink.

"To you." I said before letting the liquid go down my throat, burning all the way until it hit the bottom. "So what brings you here Ashton?"

He pushed his glass away before lookin straight at me. "It's my first week here, and I didn't just want to stay in the house. So here I am. What about you?" I was beginning to become very restless, I needed to stand up.

"I was forced to come out. Wanna dance?" Ashton looked pretty surprised that I even asked him to join me.

"Me?"

"Who else would I be talking to?" I stood up and held my hand out to him. He hesitated for a moment before finally taking it into his own.

We walked to the floor together, hand in hand. Once we hit the middle we both started moving to the beat. I couldn't help but to watch him, the way the lights would light up different parts of him was intriguing.

Ashton got behind me and grabbed my hips, I am not sure if I wanted him to or not but I wasn't going to make him get off of me. Almost instantly I felt heat on my neck and close to my ear.

"You know." His voice was low and raspy. It sent so many chills down my spine. "You never told me your name." Right as he said that I felt something on my ear. He licked it and then barely bit it, I almost couldn't contain myself.

"My name..." He was rubbing me all over and teasing me with his tongue so much that I couldn't focus on anything. "Ari." Literally, my name was all that I could get out.

What is this guy doing to me? Why am I okay with this?

"Ari." The way my name came out drove me wild, I loved it. Ashton lightly bit my neck and started to suck on it. I didn't care who was watching this, it all felt too good to me.

I turned around to face him, his eyes were low and his cheeks were a shade of red. I grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him close to me so that I could feel him against me. We began grinding up against each other to the music, it was pure ecstasy.

My hand found it's way to his dick and began rubbing it. He bit his lip, and put his forehead on mine. I could hear his sweet moans, each one making me want to go faster and faster.

"Damn Ari, not here. You wanna go somewhere else?" I thought he would never say those words to me.

I woke up with a throbbing head ache and sore throat. I literally remember almost nothing from last night that last shot really did me in.

I grabbed my phone and seen I had two messages from some guy. Wait a minute, that guy is Ashton. When did we swap numbers?

'Last night was amazing'

'Next time can you be a little more rough?'

What the fuck happened last night?

What does he mean by all of this?

I ran to my bathroom so I could look at myself. I had marks all over my body, a huge ass hickey on my neck and scratches everywhere. 

Well this is just fucking wonderful.
