If We Ever Meet Again
(part 31, other parts are on my
profile.)
Ocean City, MD.
June 20
"Hey cutie."
Jason purred which was followed by a wink when I walked out of the
bathroom. I was wearing a very simple, white skinny strapped, flowy
dress. It came just above my knee caps and I was wearing my black
gladiator sandals.
I gave him a look. "You're such a perv
but you look nice too." He was wearing bleach white cargo
shorts with a very light blue button up with the first two buttons
undone and an unbuttoned dark brown vest, very vintage yet
semi-formal.
I left out a big sigh, I'm so glad he
actually bought my lie. I told him we were going to meet a future
employer and I needed a date, and we needed to look kind of dressed
up. Good thing Jason likes people needing his help, it makes him
feel tough and good inside. Kelley texted me the place and
everything, she said not to tell Jason anything and my lips are
sealed, literally. They're sealed with a lit pink shimmery lip
gloss, even though I hate lip gloss with a passion, this was I
love.
"Shall we?" Jason asks in a deep
voice, locking arms with me and heading out the door.
I smile wide, showing my naturally straight and
white teeth, all thanks to crest toothpaste.
Harpoon Hanna's. That's where the party was, we pulled into
a parking place way across the parking lot, the spaces were
practically all filled besides a few lonesome ones in the way back.
As we walk I see only one car that really stands out, it's a
bright yellow mustang with the windows down. Ugh, I hate when
people have their windows down the whole way when they park their
car. The only person I know who does that is, Jesse. Jesse's
here, and he must have Becca.
"So," Jason said bumping into me,
"Am I suppose to say anything for you to get this
job?"
"Nope, I just needed a date, merely for
support." I giggle nervously.
He starts walking a little faster. "Why are
you looking for a job down here?"
"Whoa, no need to book it, Speed
Racer." I joke. "And I don't. Exploring options if
you will."
Jason nods knowingly. Ah, I can't believe
he's buying this. I could have a career in lying! Wait, lying
is what made me end up hating Tanner, plus a few extra brain-dead
moves. When we walk through the glass doors of Harpoon Hanna's
I see Jesse, and I can't help but smile. I almost wave,
forgetting the whole surprise party. He has two menus in his hand,
and leads us down a few steps then stops dramatically.
"Whaaaaaat the -" I hear Jason moan. I
turn around Chelsey snuck up behind Jason and tied a cloth napkin
over his eyes and grabbed his arms.
"Shhh. Just follow me and don't make a
sound."
"Alllllie, what's going on?" I
can't help but giggle as Jason fiddles around unable to get out
of Chelsey's grip. We walk down a few more stairs, and then
head out to a patio with a bunch of people, balloons, cake,
present, and streamers. This looks pretty good for a 3 year party.
I turn around and I see Becca, with the same eye attire Jason has
coming through the sliding glass door.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone yells unison just
as both blindfolds were being stripped off. Their eyes sparkled
with happiness and their mouths were in the shape of a full-out
smile. They both turned at the same time to see one another and
they grabbed each other tightly and Jason kissed her lightly on her
lips. Awh, how cute. I love when love actually decides to work for
me.
The surprised couple made their way around the
party and greeted everyone and saying their thank you's. They
looked so happy, and three years is a long time, especially for
Jason. Soon they started playing music and I finally made me way to
the girls and Jesse. All of them looked so gorgeous! They must have
gotten up really early for all of them to get ready and put this
whole party together. I wish they would have told me about it that
way I was prepared for everything but sometimes a little challenge
is good for you. Hmm, speaking of a challenge where in the world
did Kelley and the girls get the money to pay for all of this? Sue
and Steve must have chipped in, they had to have.
"...look how happy they look." Brie
says admiring Becca and Jason dancing.
I was about to say something when I get a tap on
the shoulder. I turn around and it's Tye.
"Tye!" I explain turning fully around
to hug him.
He chuckles and hugs me back. "It's
nice to see you too."
One of the girls clear their throats, I look at
Chelsey and she's smiling. She must have called him and told
him to come, ah, I love my friends. 'Thank you' I mouth as
Tye puts his hand in mine, it's cold, he must have had his
air-conditioner on full blast. His icy hand makes my whole body
tingle but in a good way. Tye looks cute as always, he's
wearing a light orange polo that shows off his tan skin and tan
cargo shorts.
Tye leans down and whispers in my ear. "You
look amazing."
I giggle shyly and smile. I'm at a lost for
words and that's when I realize Jesse's just staring at
us.
"Tye, this is Jesse's, he's from
back home." I manage. "Jesse, this is Tye, from well,
here."
