"He is so handsome. He has dark brown eyes and bronze hair with a tint of red in them and his lips, Oh! His lips, I mean how can someone handle this much amount of perfection?" I said, dreamily hugging a pillow to my chest.

"Yeah, one day he will come and take you far away from this cruel world and make your life impossibly wonderful. Right?" And just like that my stupid, best friend, Miss Emily Johnson, bursts my bubble of excitement.

"Shut up, stupid. He is just a part of my imagination, you know that I don't have a real boyfriend and never will have one. Leave me alone with my imaginary boyfriend now" I said, throwing my pillow at her, annoyed by the way she keeps on interrupting my daydreaming.

"Seriously Babe, chicks before dicks, never forget that it is a girl rule."

I rolled my eyes at her. "How can I have sex with my imaginary boyfriend?" I asked, giving her a weird look.

"You are Ashley Williams; you can do anything" I laughed at her comment.

"Now get ready, we have to pick our cake from the bakery. We need to decorate the house, then call all of his friends and invite them. Then I need to go and pick him up from the school as he couldn't go to school in his car because someone had stolen the keys of his car which I know was a prank you pulled on him on his birthday" I said, pointing an accusing finger at her while getting up from bed to get ready.

"I just wanted him to have a fun birthday. You know something more memorable" She shrugged.

"Aw!! You did all of this just to make his birthday special. Are you falling in love with my baby boy?" I asked faking astonishment and she blushes at my statement.

Wait. What! Emily Johnson blushed. Good heavens! Am I still dreaming? And no I am not overreacting. It's just in these four years of our friendship, I have never seen her blush. She did not blush when her ass accidentally landed on a guy's lap in a bus and not even on the day when her long time crush earlier gave her a peck her on lips in front of the whole school and later told us that it was a dare. What a jerk!!

But seriously, how did I not notice that before? My best friend has a crush on Ryder. I have to confirm it from both sides and then I will show my matchmaking skills.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We reached the bakery in ten minutes. "We still have thirty minutes before the school gets over. Can we just sit here for a minute?" Emily requests in a childish tone.

I gave up. "Okay, okay but only for ten minutes that's all, if we don't reach there before the school gets over, we won't be able to find a secret spot to hide our car."

"Of course. I don't want some nasty teacher's pet to complain about us in the office,"

She hates teachers' pets. I mean, students who always stick with the teachers and give them every kind of information and thanks to them, now our teachers knew everything about us from our credit card to our V-card. I didn't hate them as much as Emily did but I didn't like them either.

"Now what did you girls do that can put you in trouble if someone sees you at your own school?" Mike asked, handing us our cups of coffee.

Mike was a part-time worker here, he was a year older than us. Remember when I told you that a jerk, who also happened to be Emily's crush, kissed her and later on said that it was just a dare. Yep, he is that jerk. He is a nice person, now that we came to know him, but you know what they say about your first impression is your best impression, only because of that one day I still call him a jerk.

"We skipped school today. We told them that we are sick-"

"No, don't lie to him, we didn't tell them that we are sick.........., we told them that... we are really very sick today," Emily said, cutting me off with a smug smile on her face.

Mike and I both laugh at her silliness. Emily lies all the time, just like me. She had one rule though, never lie to the crush and always ends up telling everything to Mike. No matter how silly it sounds when she tells him every detail of that incident. Even though I still call him a jerk but I trust him with our secrets.

"What? You don't know it? What kind of friend are you? Not cool, Mike. I knew that you were never a good friend to us but you and Ryder were best friends for seven freaking years how can you just forget his birthday?"

I rolled my eyes at my overdramatic idiot best friend.

"I am so sorry, I don't even remember the date today. I was in such a hurry that I didn't look at the calendar and I haven't looked at my phone since morning. My bad." Mike said, regret evident in his eyes.

"No, it's okay. You still have time to make up for your mistake." I said to chill him out.

"How?" He asked, hopeful.

"By paying for our drinks and celebrating his birthday with us," I suggested to which he smiled and said okay.

"Mike, come over dude, help me out with these huge boxes," A guy shouted, behind Mike.

Mike turned towards his direction and said "Yeah, I am coming, just a second," Then he turned towards the man. "I will be at your apartment at nearly 4:30. Okay? Wait for me before you start anything."

"Yep now go and enjoy your weight lifting," I said as I winked at him.

"Oh boy, he is so hot!!" My best friend squeaks beside me.

"Ashley, just look at him I am damn sure you will fall in love with just one look."

I turned to look at the person who had caught my best friend's attention, so quickly. As I turned, I realized that my best friend wasn't the only one looking at him like a lovesick puppy, but all the girls present at the bakery were looking at him with lustful eyes, but, I for once, couldn't see him because of all the asses and boobs which were blocking my vision of him. The only feature I could see of him was his ass which was pretty hot.

"I am unable to see him but his ass is pretty hot," I voiced my thoughts, still looking at his sexy ass.

"I know, right. Why don't you go and grab his butt," She suggested?

I reacted saying a loud, "What!"

She then looked at me and shrugged. "Just pretend to squeeze his butt, so I can click a picture and make that bitch, Mia, jealous. Please, please, please, please,"

I just had to pretend, right? There was no harm in that. Mia had once insulted me saying that no handsome man would want to be even ten meters near me because I am like a garbage can. I will do it, not to prove Mia wrong, I barely care what others think of me, I'll do it just for some fun. I tried to convince myself as I said okay to Emily's pleas.

Walking towards the counter, where the hot ass guy is standing with a mobile phone in his right hand, I reached towards him. I looked back to see my best friend taking out her phone ready to click a picture. I looked forward again, this time focusing on my aim, as I moved my hand towards his butt and stopped it just a few centimeters away from his butt, and just as I set my hand into position the hot ass guy moved back a little making me actually grab his ass and my hand, having its own mind squeezed his ass. Holy crap! What did I just do? And here I stand with my mouth wide open like a hippo, my hand still on his ass. The man turned his face to look at me. As soon as he turns his face; my world stopped.

Mesmerizing dark brown eyes, check. Sharp jawline, check. Bronze hair with a tint of red, check. Thick eyebrows, check. Perfect cheekbones, check. Oh my God! He is just like my dream boy. Sh*t! I just squeezed his ass. I removed my hand from his sexy butt.

You have to apologize, Ash.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to..., I was just... I am so sorry." Urg. I can't even find words to apologize. As I look up, ready to face his anger, he looks at me with dead eyes, showing no emotions, and walks away, completely ignoring me. Weird.

"You actually squeezed his butt," Emily squealed with excitement.

"It was an accident," I said, defending myself.

"Are you sure, honey? Maybe it's just God's way of telling you that, you both are made for each other," She said teasingly.

"No, it's not. Now stop with your imaginations, and let's go and pick Ryder up. We are already late," I said, racing towards my car.
