burned bridges

meeting

     Andy was suddenly super nervous when she saw the boys, she really wanted this new guy to be a distraction she spent too much time constantly checking her messages and being disappointed when she did not get a message back. she watched as her best friends’ eyes lit up as she headed towards her boyfriend Matt, " I really want someone to make me feel like that, make me feel wanted “Andy thought to herself. "BABY!" Ashley yelled as she threw herself into Matts arms smiling, Matt immediately grabbed her into a bear hug and kissed her on her forehead. " Hey baby, how are you?" Matt asked not letting Ashley go. " Hey Andy" he added looking over Ashley’s head. Andy gave a smile and wave, she liked Matt he always made a point to be friendly to her without being overly friendly. "Hey baby is you going to introduce us to your new friend?" Ashley asked squirming out of Matt's arms and turning around to face Andy.

     Matt's arms instantly wrapped around Ashley’s waist and kissed her on top of her head. "of course, I am Ash, this is Dustin" Matt replied looking at the new boy. " this is my Girlfriend Ashley and her best friend Andromeda" Matt pointed at Andy as he introduced her. "Andromeda?" the boy asked. Andy felt her face blush, " ummm yeah, you can just call me Andy" she replied. "well hey I am Dustin, nice to meet you guys" Dustin said his ice blue eyes looked amused as he smiled and Andy noticed her adorably deep dimples in both cheeks. " jeez he is super cute, and of course he has dimples, Ugg dimples are my weakness" Andy thought to herself. " hey Andy didn’t you say you were going to have everyone come over tonight to get some pizza tonight?" Ashley asked mischievously. Andy looked at her friend confused for a minute; she had no plans at all to invite anyone over to her place it was a mess. “Ummm” was all Andy managed to get out before Ashley interrupted her, “really Andy we were just talking about this at Sephora, you said that you were going to have the boys over and we were going to invite Megan  to come hang out too” Ashley rushed to say before Andy could make this anymore awkward “ oh yea duh, I must have had a brain fart or something, for sure we were going to have everyone over for a horror movie marathon with pizza and drinks, of course anyone can crash there if they want, 

    of course Dustin you are more then welcome to come too”  Andy added with a slight blush. “yea for sure man you need to come with us Andy is obsessed with horror movies it will be fun” Matt added having caught on to Ashley’s plan far faster then Andy had. Dustin smiled “sure sounds cool. I guess we will all go over together? He asked. “yea for sure we will stop to get the pizza and drinks and then meet up with the girls at Andy’s place” Matt had added, this was why Andy liked Matt so much. He almost reminded Andy of a brother the way he always looked out for her even though he was her best friends’ boyfriend. She was so happy her two favorite people had found each other and were so good for each other. Andy linked her arm with Ashley’s “ok Ash lets go then we can stop back by Sephora on the way out and invite Megan” Andy told her friend “what???? We just got here with the boys though!” Ashley protested “yea Ash but since you randomly invited 8 people to my house including Dustin so you get to help me clean so its not a embarrassing disaster, he’s cute Ash I really don’t want him to think I am a slob” Andy whispered to her friend. “please Ash help me “Andy knew her Ashley was not the biggest fan of Taylor’s “ok a let’s go then” Ashley relented. “bye Baby we will see you later ok?” Ashely asked giving Dustin a quick kiss, “Ok babe we will be over around 6, what do you guys want, Beer, Patron, Rum coke some juice limes and pizza right?” He asked both of the girls. “yes please, we want either Hawaiian or spinach, mushrooms and chicken with white sauce” Ashley said sticking out her tongue she knew Matt hated both Hawaiian and mushrooms. “Matt just grab whatever you guys want too maybe get 5 pizzas just so Megan gets some too” Andy added with a smirk at the boys   

    Ashley and Andy finally made it to the parking lot after Ashleys thirty minute goodbye to Matt, she acted like it would be years before she saw him again. "Really Ash, you couldn't give me heads up that you were going to invite everyone over tonight?"  Andy asked her friend  "it was a compleate spur of the moment idea, and readlly And you should know me enough to just go with whatever I say " Ashley said smirking , "Ohhhh yea right, because that has never gotten us into trouble before right?" Andy said sarcastically. " Come on Ash my apartment is a huge mess and thanks to you, we only have 2 hours to do a super deep clean on it, I seriously can not have Dustin come over and see it looking disgusting"  Andy reached over and turned the radio on as she started the car. Luckily there was not much traffic and the drive back to her place only took 20 mintutes instead of the usual 30. 

    As the girls made their way into Andy's apartment Andy pulled out her phone and saw she had 3 missed calls and 3 messages. "f**k" she said to herself as she saw they were all from Taylor. she was nervous opening the App to see what he had said .

1:30 . BEE , are you going to text me back or what

1:33- really your not going to answer your phone

1:38- Fine I'll  call you back later

Andy glanced at the time on her home screen it had just turned 2, great she thought now taylor is going to be all pissy, just what I need, I should seriously ignore him like he ignore me all the time and just have fun with Dustin tonight and see how it goes, uggg I seriously hate how he makes me feel guilty about not texting him when he never answers me unless he feels like it .

Fine I am just going to text him back so he doesnt freak the F out , and then focus on cleaning and having fun tonight,

And; Hey Tay , sorry I was at the mall with Ash so I did not hear my phone when you called

Tay: Really?! and you dident bother to check your phone at all?

And: Ummm, no? you always say that I text you too much so I was distracting myself. anyways i am hanging out with Ash right now I just dident want you to think i was ignoring you.

Tay:  yea sure And , whatever ,

And: OMG , seriously ? why do you always get like that?

Tay: like what?

And: like such a brat, anyways Ashley, Matt and them are coming over later to watch movies and have pizza, if you want to come cool if not that's fine, I am not in the mood to argue with you.

Of course Taylor had already logged out of the app before reading her message, Andy instantly regretted inviting Taylor over, she wanted to get to know Dustin and now if Taylor came it was just going to make things a hundred times more complicated .

    "Hey Ash? " Andy mumbled "yea whats up ? " Ashely replied walking out of the kitchen with a bag of garbage , "I might have made a huge mistake, and invited Tay to come watch movies and have pizza with us " Andy admitted wincing . "And! Really !? the whole point of having Dustin come was to start talking to someone other then Taylor and actually have a chance of not being stressed out all the time or worried about what he is doing or who he is with" Ashley snapped , " Alright And, well did he say that he was going to come ? maybe you will get lucky and he wont and then you dont have to worry about that and can focus on Dustin, he is super cute , I really hope you guys hit it off And." Ashley had added she knew her friend really liked Taylor but he really took advantage of Ashley and that was the main reason Ashley did not really like him. " he did not say either way if he was going to come or not so who knows, and you are probably right he wont show anyways so no big deal," Andy answered the last question instead of attempting to expalin why she invited him in the first place.

    When the girls finally finished cleaning the apartment it was close to 5 and the boys would be headed there soon, " Hey Ash you can use the shower first if you want, and just grab whatever you want from the closet" Andy called looking at her phone distractedly. "cool, hun. I think i have some of my stuff here anyways in the spare room. we can do our makeup together ok? " Ashley called walking into the bathroom to wash off the sweat and grime from cleaning . Andy looked around her apartment she felt much better after doing the deep clean on it, not like it was dirty before really but with a new guy coming over she was happy that is had that clean smell .
