burned bridges

pizza and the boys

 Ashley walked out of the bathroom with one of the over-sized towels wrapped around her. "all yours chika" Ashley called as she headed to the spare bedroom to get dressed. Andy walked into the bathroom wiped the steam from the mirror and looked at her reflection her blue/grey eyes looked tired and her pale skin looked even paler than it normally did. "great" she thought and turned to start the water in the shower. as the water warmed up, she stripped out of her sweaty cloths and grabbed her new sugar scrub and hopped in the shower. Andy washed her hair put a deep conditioning mask in and washed her body scrubbed with the sugar scrub and shaved, finally she washed the conditioning mask out of her hair and climbed out of the shower wrapping herself in an oversized towel and wondered into her room to find something to wear. 

    After what seemed like forever Andy finally decided on a cream color Marissa Webb off the shoulder sweatshirt some high-waisted ripped American Eagle jeans and black Chucks, she pulled her curly blonde hair into a ponytail and walked into the living room to find Ashley so they could do their makeup, Ashley was wearing black skinny jeans and a teal green long sleeve crop-top. "alright Ash, you want to help me do a smokey eye look with this new pallet? “Ashley came bouncing over excitedly " Yes! you never let me do your makeup!" Andy rolled her eyes and smiled at her friend " ummm duh, the last time I let you do my makeup I looked like a raccoon Ash" Andy sticking her tongue out.  Ashley is busy scrolling through her phone looking for eyeshadow ideas. Andy walked over to where Ashley had set everything up 

    It took Ashley about 45 minutes of putting shadows on and scrubbing them off before she was finally satisfied with the look. that she had come up with on Andy, "there finished!" Ashley exclaimed after filling in Andy's eyebrows, Andy cautiously turned in her chair to see what Ashley had done to her face and was pleasantly surprised. " Wow Ash! this looks amazing! when did you get so good?"  Andy asked excitedly Ashley crossed her arms and frowned " I have always been good at makeup, thank you very much”. Andy looked up at her friend’s reflection in the mirror and realized that Ashley had actually taken offence. to the comment. " Ashely, I know you have always been super good at doing your own makeup, you always look amazing but obviously doing someone else’s makeup is a lot harder to do" Andy quickly rushed to explain she didn’t want her friend to get upset and leave before Dustin came over. " I love this look Ash, that’s all I meant, don’t get upset”. Ashely looked a little more relaxed after Andy's explanation, "yea ok And I know you are never good at explaining things" Ashley replied started to apply moisturizer on so she could do her own makeup. " hey Ash I am going to make a pitcher of margaritas ready; you want one before the boys get here?" Andy called to Ashley as she walked into the kitchen. " Yes please! And" Ashley called back. 

    Just as Andy had pulled the tequila down from the cabinet her phone played the song had set for text alerts. Andy's heat immediately started beating faster as she pulled her phone out of her pocket, the notification showed the message as coming from Taylor.

Taylor: Hey so I am on my way over, you want anything from the store, who exactly is going to be there anyways? the normal people right? 

Andy; Ummm , yea just the normal group, you know Ashley, Matt, Megan, Dustin, Brice, Craig and Ryan.

Taylor: and who the hell is Dustin?! 

Andy: no one B just one of Matt's new friends, I was just trying to be nice he was with them all when Ashley invited everyone over, I couldn’t really not invite him.

Taylor: yea sure, like you were not flirting around with him?

Andy: no Tay, so are you going to come over or what?

Taylor: yea I’ll be over later.

Fuck, this is going to be interesting, I am going to need a shot, forget the margarita, Andy thought to herself. “Ashley!!!!!” Andy screamed from the kitchen, Ashley came taring around the corner and into the kitchen “what?! What happened?” Ashely asked in a panic with wide eyes “f**k Ash, Taylor just texted saying that he was coming over” Andy explained with a moan. “OMG and what the hell are you going to do, you know how Taylor gets especially when he’s drinking” Ashley responded now she understood her friend’s panic. Just then the doorbell rang. Ashely and Andy looked at each other with panic in their eyes.

            Andy walked over to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door. Matt immediately handed Andy two bags from the liquor store, “hey Andy., sorry for taking forever Mountain Mikes was insanely busy, the guys are just grabbing the rest of the stuff from the car and they will be up in a minute” Matt said as he gave Andy a side hug, “where’s Ash?”  asking as he walked into the house. “oh, she’s in the other room finishing her makeup, Umm Matt we might have a small problem,” Andy said with a wince. “what why?” Matt asked looking concerned. “I might have made a mistake and invited Tay over; I did not think he would actually come though” she quickly  added > Andy knew that Matt liked Taylor but they also would butt heads sometimes especially when they were drinking. “Andy, really?” Matt said with a sigh, “well is he coming?” Andy squirmed “well he just said he was going to come, but who knows if he’s actually coming “Andy replied. Ashley walked into the kitchen and gave Matt a kiss “So I guess you heard about the situation” Ashely asked her Boyfriend. “yup” Matt replied “I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal Tay’s cool” Matt replied. just then the door opened and the rest of the boys came in. “hey guys,” Andy greeted giving all the boys a hug hello. “Hey Dustin” Andy greeted shyly “hey Andy wow you look amazing” Dustin replied giving Andy a hug. “Thank you” Andy replied blushing. Andy realized that everyone was staring at them, “hey you guys let’s eat and get some drinks and we can get a movie going especially if we are going to get through all of them tonight” Ashley exclaimed giving Andy a wink. Andy was relieved she hated being the center of attention and it was not fun with everyone knowing about her semi relationship with Taylor, but jeeze Dustin had the cutest dimples ever. 

    Just then the door opened again and Andy felt arms going around her waist, She watched as Dustins eyes narrowed on person behind her. " hey guys what are you all doing" Dustin asked as he pressed a kiss into Andy's neck. " hey Bee, I missed you" Taylor murmured to her. Andy twisted in Taylors arms and gave him a quick hug "Hey where have you been all morning?, I texted you when I got up and you never answered any of my texts until this afternoon," Andy  muttered back. " bee don't start , everyone is here, supposed to be you are having a party with your new friend remember?" Taylor replied sarcastically . Andy glanced at Ashley for help, she really did not want Dustin to get a bad impression or the wrong impression the first time she got to spend time with him. " Hey Tay, have you met Dustin yet?" Ashley asked walking over to give Taylor a hug. "no" was Taylors short reply. "Hey man , I am Taylor , you must be Dustin " Taylor greeted with the guy head nod . Taylor gave Dustin a once over and a small sneer, " Come on you guys I am starving, lets eat. and we still need to start the movies " Ashley whined . the group all headed into the kitchen to eat, Taylor turned and grabbed Andy's hand and pulled her into the kitchen and quickly wraps his arms around her waist again. 

    After eating and making a few drinks the group heads into the living room. Andy grabs the last 2 boxes of pizza some alcohol and mixers and brings them along into the living room, as Andy headed into the living room, she noticed that Dustin was already on the couch and Taylor must have been in the bathroom. Andy took advantage of this and quickly sat down next to Dustin, "hey you, are you having fun yet?" Andy asked. that was the one thing she liked about drinking she was always a lot more comfortable talking to people once she had a few drinks in her. " yea everyone is pretty cool, thanks for inviting me, but don’t you think your boyfriend is going to get mad if he sees you talking to me?" Dustin asked semi sarcastically. " Oh, Tay is not my boyfriend, well not really, I mean kind of, I don't know its complicated" Andy tried to explain blushing as she realized that she was sounding stupid. " no Tay is not Andy's boyfriend, they are just friends and he is just kind of possessive" Ashley jumped in to save Andy from herself. " oh, okay I mean I don’t want to get you in trouble or make problems for you And." Dustin whispered showing off his deep dimples in both cheeks.

    "Alright you guys are we going to watch movies or what " Brice called from the other couch, Andy jumped she had been so flustered with the whole Dustin Taylor situation that had been going on she had forgotten that Brice, Craig and Ryan were even there. " Yes!" Andy exclaimed grateful for the distraction.Andy jumped up and grabbed the remote to turn on Texas Chainsaw m******e . when she turned back around Taylor had taken her seat next to Dustin and the only place left to sit was on the floor between Taylors legs . Andy Grabbed her floor cushion and got comfortable on the floor and got ready to watch the movie . 

     About half way into the movie Andy started to get uncomfortable on the floor, she decided to get up to stretch and get something else to drink, she had seen the movie about 5 times anyways so it was not like she was going to miss anything she had not seen before anyways " Anyone want anything to drink or eat" Andy asked the group as she stood up stretching with her arms above her head.  " no I think we are good And" Ashely called as Andy headed into the kitchen. Andy was busy mixing a drink and was having problems as she was already kind of tipsy she had already dropped some ice on the floor . as she was picking up the ice  from the floor for the 2nd time she heard someone walking into the kitchen behind her. As she stood up and went to turn around to see who it was she tripped over her own foot and almost fell but strong arms caught her under her arms . Andy looked up into beautiful ice blue eyes , "Hey you be carful , you are going to hurt yourself and I doubt anyone here is going to be able to take you to the hospital you know " Dustin said flashing his dimples "yikes thank you" Andy could feel a blush creeping up her cheeks .  "what are you doing in here by yourself anyways And?" he asked flashing his dimples, he was definitly amused by her reaction she had towards him " I was trying to make a drink but the stupid ice doesn't want to cooperate" Andy replied flustered , she turned to get more ice out of the freezer and suddenly felt Dustin's warm breath on her neck causing her to shiver.
