Chapter 2

Violet Ashlock

Flashback..

"I'm sorry.. I don't date boys like you." I smiled arrogantly at the jet black haired man. I gestured to him to go and walked back to my table. I sat down and crossed my leg sipping my wine.

"Until when you will have that high standard? You won't get a guy with that attitude.." My cousin Ashley said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not the type of girl who dates random people."

"Oh come on.. Where the fun is that? Where's still young.."

"So you mean I should sleep around?" I asked her and she smirked.

"I'm not telling you to sleep around.. I'm telling you to have fun. You're too proper.. too classy.. too.. arrogant." She hissed looking at me and I laughed dryly.

"Excuse me?" I asked her disbelief.

"Live life a little bit.."

"I'm living my life."

"Oh come on! Just because Bryan cheats, it doesn't mean your world stops here." I hissed when she mentioned Bryan. Bryan was my boyfriend and he cheated on me with some weird nerd girl. Why would he cheat with a person who is the opposite of me?

Weirdo.

"Stop being too classy.. too arrogant.. too proper.. Until when? Boys hate this attitude.." She said and I rolled my eyes bored.

"I'm not interested in dating these days."

"Why are you taking dating for something serious? Have fun! Date, make out, and you know.. do crazy things." Ashley said and I was speechless.

"You're still young.. Settling down must be one the bottom or on the last of your list. Come on! I'll show you how to have fun!" She smirked and I looked at her suspiciously.

She took my hand and pulled me out from the restaurant. She pulled me to her car and drove back to her apartment.

"What are we doing here?"

"I hate that you always wear long dresses.. I mean.. I know it's backless and things but girl.. You need to show your thighs and sexy legs!" She looked at me from head to toe.

"I love this kind of dress.. It's elegant and really.."

"Too proper and just.. princessy.. you're not a princess so stop being like this." She said as she opened her closet. She was looking for something while I looked at the mirror checking if there's something wrong with me.

"Ashley, there's nothing wrong with me."

"You completely live your life.. like a princess. You're no princess girl.. Can you flirt? Do you know how to flirt?" She asked and I looked at her weirdly.

"Why do I have to flirt?"

"Violet! Are you kidding me? What are you in 1850?" She looked at me disbelief and threw me a really short balck dress.

"This is too revealing.."

"It's not.. You know we need to have fun."

"Fun where?"

"You know Izac?"

"Yeah.. Why?"

"Well he's having a party so we need to go.."

"I'm not invited." I said innocently and she laughed out loud.

"Gosh.. What did your parents do to you?"

"Ashley.. We come from the same family in case you forget.." I hissed and she chuckled.

"But you're like an old lady while I'm enjoying my young lifestyle." She smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Go and change! Your makeup is okay.. all I need to change is your lipstick." She pushed me to the bathroom. I changed my dress and looked at the mirror. Well.. I never expect that I will look good in short sexy dresses. My parents educated me to be proper.. elegant.. princess-likely.. so I'm used to it.

I mean.. I kinda like the change.. I walked out and she smirked looking at me.

"See.. You look good!"

"Yeah.. maybe."

"Change your lipstick and let's go!" She said and I nodded. I walked to the mirror and put the red lipstick. I looked at myself and I felt like a different person.

"Let's go." She said and I followed her to her car. She drove to the place and I can't believe that Izac throw a really big party.

"Let's go inside." She smirked and I nodded. We walked inside and guess what.. we both found Izac straight away.

"Izac!" Ashley hugged him and he smiled widely.

"Hey Ashley, how are you? And oh! Hello Vi.. You look stunning.. and different.." He said and I shook his hand instead of hugging. Ashley chuckled and gestured to me to hug him. I looked at her weirdly and she pushed me. I hugged Izac.

"Great party." I smiled and released the hug fast.

"Thanks.. and enjoy." He gestured to us to get inside. We walked in and I saw a lot of guys looking at me with lust. I felt uncomfortable.

"Mingle around and flirt.."

"I don't know how to flirt!" I hissed. She pulled me and we both sat down on an empty sofa.

"Look at them sexily and just.. take control. Seduce them.. and you know.."

"I cannot! Ashley.. this is a bad idea." When I said that there 2 handsome men sat beside us. My breath got hitch when a light brown haired guy looked at me, smirking.

"Try! I'm leaving you!" Ashley said and I turned to her in panic. She smirked and left me alone with 2 men alone. I moved to the edge of the sofa keeping my arrogant attitude.. I hate this. I hate Ashley now.

"Hello beautiful." I turned to the guy beside me coldly and looked at him like he's the most disgusting thing in the world.

"Well.. what a bitch." He left and I rolled my eyes. Suddenly the other guy moved beside me.

"Not interested in the party?" The guy asked and I turned to him.

"No.. not my thing."

"Austin Portwalt." He took out his hand and put it in front of me.

"Violet Ashlock." I shook his hand.

"Well.. Since you're not enjoying this. Wanna go upstairs and just drink?" He asked and I turned to him. I looked straight into his eyes and I never felt attracted just by looking at someone's eyes but Austin is just.. different.

He smirked at me and put his hand in front of me and I took it. He pulled me up and we walked upstairs to the balcony. He took a bottle of vodka for us to enjoy it.

We started to talk about our boring lives and we clicked. Suddenly I remembered Ashley's word to flirt. I looked at Austin as I leaned my back to the balcony. I sipped my drink and moved closer to him.

Before I can do something to flirt with him.. he kissed me first. I swear.. I never felt electrified like this and it's just the best feeling ever. So this is what Ashley call fun.. well.. I'm starting to like it.

Austin slipped his arm around my waist wrapping my body tightly to his. He kissed me deeply when suddenly he stopped. He looked at me, smirking.. he released his arms and I looked at him disbelief. He turned his body walking away leaving me alone without any words.

He left me.. I felt used and dirty but I liked the sensation that he gave me. I drank all my drink in one shot and walked down trying to find Austin again but he left for good.. making me so pissed and angry.

I still can feel his touch and his kiss.. gosh.. even Bryan can't give me that.

I turned to a random guy and kissed him but no.. I never get someone who can give me the same feeling that Austin gives me.

Flashback end..

From that moment, I started to love my young life. I started to enjoy it and slowly became a 'slut'. They always think that I sleep around but the truth is that I still have my V card. I just act like a bitch.. and still want to find a guy who can give me the same sensation that Austin gives me but I never found one..

I became interested in Austin from that point but Austin never try to get close to me or contact me. Which is frustrating.. I'm not the type of woman who will go for guys first so I won't make a move until he makes a move which will.. never.. happened..

Damn it!
