$*Allie's P.O.V*$

　　I landed at LAX. My hometown. The place where I grew up. My best friend Kate and my cousin Jill came to pick me up from the airport to take me home. My home which I left 5 years ago and never came back. Well, I came to visit home but I barely stayed for like maybe 2 or 3 days. 

　　I was looking for them everywhere. There they are. By the way they are holding something. Probably a picture of maybe but they have forgotten me in just 5 years. I focus my eyes on picture. What the fuck! 

　　Oh god, I can't believe. It's so embarrassing. Both Kate and Jill are standing there with a poster of younger me that was taken I guess 5 years ago at a Halloween party. I was dressed as a sexy stripper with fake boobs and all. 

　　The picture is photoshopped. I know who did it. He is going to pay for it. There are some boys standing around me in nothing but only underwear with hard-on. That was not enough. She wrote something "Wanted for their hard on and they died because of blue balls." I mean who dies of blue balls man.

　　I am not going with those assholes. Luckily they didn't noticed me. I am ready to pay 1000 dollars to the cab but no way I am going with them.I was so naive, silly, the stupid girl at that time for dressing as a stripper. I was 20 years old women. Oh Man!

　　I turned opposite of their direction hopping they wouldn't notice me. But I was so lucky. Both of them came running after me. I didn't notice that I was walking fast until now.

　　"Wait Allie," This time it was Jill my cousin.

　　I turned around snatched both the posters from their hands. I felt like shoving them inside Kate mouth to shut her up. I can't even throw them in dustbin. So I shoved inside my jacket.

　　"Hey, Allie. How are you?" Jill asked and hugged me.

　　"hi. And I am not good." I reply her and hug her back.

　　"Why?" Kate asked me, and smirked at me.

　　"Because I feel like a prostitute in the middle of LAX." I snapped at her but I still hug her and ask "By the way how my favorite asshole is doing?"

　　"We're actually good. Now that you joined our community" she laughed. 

　　"We?" Jill interrupt her laugh. "She clearly asked about you 'my favorite asshole' so don't include me in it". She winked at me. 

　　We both started laughing as we both started walking while laughing our asses off and Kate standing there. 

　　"You both are bitches." She recovered. 

　　We started our little carpool karaoke while Kate drove.

　　"Finally you came back Allie and I missed you so much" Kate said "so how was New York life?" 

　　"Yeah it was good and I missed you guys too" I replied her.

　　"OMG guys you'll make me cry. We should actually celebrate." Jill stated. 

　　"Yeah, we totally should," Kate said. "So clubbing tonight? What you think?" 

　　"I am fine. Maybe we should call some more of our friends to welcome Allie back." Jill suggested.

　　I was think about the last clubbing memory in California which was exactly two days ago. I went had so much fun, got wasted and worst ended up in someone's bed with someone. They both look at me, waiting for my answer. I look at my fidgety hands reply "umm.... I don't know. Getting wasted is the last thing I want to do." 

　　"Something more you'd like us to know?" Jill asks suspiciously. I don't dare to look at them. 

　　"OMG Allie! Don't tell me you got wasted and then ended up with someone." Kate shrieks.

　　I know what comes next. They will bombard me with all the questions until I answer them. Their sole will not rest in peace.There it goes. 

　　Jill asked "When?"

　　"How was it?" Kate asks.

　　"Is he hot?" Jill ask again.

　　Kate demanded "Show me his picture." 

　　Like I said. If they only knew it was my one nightstand. They would freak out. I don't think we will be able to reach home any time soon.

　　So I reply them "I will tell you guys everything once we get back home."

　　It was the best sex I ever had till now. I don't why? I'm not some who is really into random hooksups and nightstands but yes I've had sex not a lot but a handful when I was in relationships. Since that ship sailed when I moved from L.A to New York and I haven't been with anyone exclusively. It must be the only reason why it was the amazing sex I guess. Or maybe the fact of not knowing the person could also be? I don't know anything about him. But let me tell you he was damn hot and the night was something next level. 

　　I wondered, Did he enjoyed as much as I did? Or..... I don't want to know. What he's doing? Did he already forget me?Why the hell I am thinking about him? 

　　After 30 minutes of driving we finally reached home. I am currently sitting at our living room area with my mum in the couch.

　　"Its so good to see you're back Allie." My mum says. "It's good to be back mum." I lie it's not completely lie though. Don't get me wrong I love my mum, my family and some really close friends.

　　It's just after all the things that happened all those years ago. It's hurts. Memories are still haunting.

　　"Now that you know my health is not good. And the reason why you are back." My mum says. 

　　"See I don't want to force you into this things. I just want you to be happy. And give a another chance to love." I can see how she hesitate to talk about it.

　　"Love. That's the last thing I want mum." I reply her.

　　"I know. After everything happened you're kind of scared. But let me tell you one thing all those scary stuff had made you strong independent  woman that you are now." She holds my hands "I want to see you happy. And I don't have much time All---"

　　"mum." I cut her off before she could finish that sentence. 

　　"No Allie let's face it sooner or later I will be gone. I promised your dad to take care of you. And how will I able to answer when he asks about you and your family and our grandchildren when I meet him there?"

　　"Mum. Why are we even discussing about dying? You're not good because you don't take care of yourself and now that I am here I'll take care of you."

　　" I know. But I want to see you start a family before my time is up and you're going on a date. and that's final" My mum finally spills the bins.So this is the reason why she is suddenly talking about dying and everything. Oh wow. I don't know what to say.

　　"Okay." I am still processing what my mum said and what am I supposed to say.

　　"Okay?" my mum. " I didn't know this would be so easy. And you would agree" Before I argue with she is calling someone. 

　　We had a mini family reunion in dinner. Plus Kate. Obviously. Jill, Jace Jill's elder brother. Aunt Linda and uncle Sebastian their parents came. We had dinner. I even helped mum while cooking. Yeah only by setting up the table. My subconscious mind added.

　　Currently we are in my room. "Can't believe it's not even a day and your room is already a mess." Jace says.

　　Well, my room isn't a mess. I kind of unpacked my bags and everything. So I reply "wait until you see Kate's room."

　　I know Jace has some feeling for Kate. He's just afraid to say it.

　　"It's not my fault if he has OCD," Kate said to Jace and he just rolled his eyes. "And you spill your guts about the night and about him before I fill your guts with divine vomit."

　　Ewe! 

　　"You had one night stand." Jace said. I am afraid that his eyes will pop out of the socket the way he is looking. "Who is she?"

　　"She is Allie Brooks. Ladies and Gentlemen." Jill says.

　　"Okay now tell us." Kate forces.

　　So I start from the beginning how my friends back in New YorkMinus the r-rated part, of course.

　　"You made a first move on a guy" Jill asked. I nodded. Why is it hard to believe that. It's because you practically sworn you wouldn't date, which leads you to not make a move on a guy. My subconscious mind added.

　　"The guy must have something." Jace says. It's so good to have an open conversation with him since he is my cousin. There is nothing to be embarrassed in front of him because of his outwardness.

　　"So what's his name? "Kate asks.  Uh-huh. "You did not get his name."

　　"Really Allie!" Jace exclaimed, "I didn't knew you were such a player." 

　　Yes I didn't get his name. That doesn't make me a player does it? I mean, I called him sexy-pants and he called me a hot-lady. I am not going to tell them that though.

　　Yeah, Sexy pants!
