Ashleigh’s Point Of View
“I don’t understand why I need to wear this skimpy dress?” I huffed as I stood in front of a full body mirror while trying to pull down the dress’ lower half to try and cover my thighs “I don’t even know if I can call it a dress! I feel like if I bend over, people are going to see my underwear!” I exclaimed and turned to my best friend’s direction who somehow dragged me into a single’s mixer
“Oh stop, you look like a seductive goddess” she giggled and touched up my red lipstick “You’ll end up with a hot arm candy by the end of the night Ashe!” she adds optimistically
“I don’t even want to go on this mixer, I should’ve known that this is just one of your little schemes to get me a boyfriend Gemma” I huffed “Can I at least have a cardigan or a jacket with this? I feel like I’m going to get pneumonia if I get my back exposed on a chilly night!” I bargained
She hands me a cardigan that matches the black dress beautifully “Of course, we wouldn’t want you walking on a line of drool caused by that dress now do we?” she giggled as I put the cardigan on
“With my luck on getting a decent boyfriend, I doubt that” I shook my head humorously
“Well you kinda are a doucheb-g magnet” she teased and applied her own lipstick
“What the f-ck is that supposed to mean?” I looked at her as if I was offended
“It all started with Leon from college, then Max the snobby artiste, then Ryan the wannabe p-rn star, Chad the tech bro and finally Dave the tool, god Dave is the most douche-y of them all” she points out about my last ex boyfriend
“Criticize my choices in men why don’t you?” I rolled my eyes sarcastically
“You had great s-x with Ryan though?” Gemma asked innocently “You never told me how he was in bed!” she pouts
I shook my head and rejected her question, grabbing my purse and my keys “Let`s just go before I change my mind and not go to this stupid single’s mixer” I grabbed her hand and dragged her outside of the house and into the car
“Is that a no then?”
“Gemma!”
“Right, to the single’s mixer!”

Augustus’ Point of View
“You better have a good reason for taking me to a single’s mixer Irene” I told my younger sister as we made our way inside the venue of the event
“The tracker I put on Keith’s phone says he’d be here and I just want to catch him in the act myself with you attending this fancy mixer as my cover” she scoffed “I want to see his attempts to cheat on me again since our dear mother doesn’t want me to divorce that pr-ck the first time he cheated on me with his secretary and she only dismissed it” she spat “Which is hypocritical considering she cheated on dad with Thomas before he died and she even married him not long after” she continues on with her rant
“You know I can help you right? Just say the word and I’ll make him disappear” I winked
She giggled “Leon offered the same thing, but I never said anything about killing that bast-rd. No matter how much he deserves it, besides you and Leon are one of the best CIA agents and I don’t want to tarnish any reputations you might have” She sighed
“I’d happily do it for you in a heartbeat, my reputation be damned. That assh-le deserves to suffer after what he did to my little sister” I sighed in worry and caressed her cheek
“He’ll get what’s coming to him! Karma is a b-tch anyway, you need to enjoy yourself while you’re here as well” she motions her head to a group of women who were giggling while looking at my direction
“Unlike Leon, desperate isn’t my type” I chuckled and shook my head “Besides I doubt that I’ll have fun, considering I’m spying on Keith” I scoffed
She smiled brightly, but there’s a hint of mischief in her eyes “You’ll never know Gus, you might thank me later for bringing you here” she winks “The event’s about to start, go mingle! Call me if you spot Keith” she kissed my cheek and disappeared into the ladies’ room
Might as well raid the bar while I'm here, I need a drink strong enough to make my night babysitting a womanizer bearable
