Chapter 77

"Spill it Kelly.. did you and Adrian do the dirty?" She asks Kelly and wiggles her brows at Kelly.

"Well.. I might have made out with Adrian in the bathroom" Kelly says and Ashley drops her spoon of ice cream at Kelly's words.

"Ooohhhh!" Ashley says and Kelly smiles shyly. "Sooooo... How did it happen and when?" Ashley asks enthusiastically.

Kelly is surprised at Ashley's interest in the matter. "You're quite enthusiastic about this thing with me and Adrian" Kelly asks Ashley with a curious look.

And Ashley looks away sitting up and clearing her throat. "Uhh.. well.. because you and Adrian are among my favorite people" Ashley says fiddling with her bracelets on her wrist.

Kelly laughs a little. " I.. I don't know though" Kelly says "You don't know what?" Ashley asks her with a raised brow. "I really am not sure about my feelings for Adrian" Kelly says.

"Oh.. well.. I guess you'll figure it out.. but from the looks of things.. I think you're in love with Adrian but you haven't realized it yet" Ashley says.

And Kelly folds her lips while thinking about what Ashley is saying.

"Don't worry Kelly.. what is meant to be will be. Even though I think you and Adrian will make a cute couple" Ashley says. And Kelly smiles to herself.

"What are you watching?" Kelly asks Ashley. "Grown-ish" Ashley replies "Okay" Kelly says and comes to lie with Ashley as Ashley makes room for her to watch Grown-ish too.

"I actually applied for an internship in Newyork" Ashley says "Oh that's nice" Kelly says. "Yeah... I'm going to do my internship at Mosaic.. that art studio?" Ashley says to Kelly. "Whoa! Nice! That's so rad.. I really hope you get the internship Ash" Kelly says to her. "I hope so too" Ashley says.

"I got recommendation letters from the Dean and Miss Peyton" Ashley says "Oh okay.. let's keep our fingers crossed then" Kelly says.

"Yeah.." Ashley says "What about you? Are you looking out for internships?" Ashley asks Kelly. "Kelly shrugs.. I don't know.." Kelly says "Huh?.. do you want to do your internship at your Dad's company?" She asks Kelly "No!.. I don't want to work at my Dad's company during my internship" Kelly says.

"Oh.. so you don't want to do an internship for Summer?" Ashley asks "I.. I don't think I'm fit for the business world" Kelly says to Ashley.

"Then don't do business" Ashley says to Kelly with a shrug. "It's not that easy.." Kelly says "why?" Ashley asks. "Because.. I.. I have to take over my Dad's company after I'm done with college" she says "So what about you? And what you want?" Ashley asks Kelly and Kelly shrugs. "Well.. it isn't about what I want but what my duties are. I'm my parents only child and I have responsibilities to fulfill I can't just do what I want" Kelly replies and Ashley stares at her for a while.

"What?" Kelly asks "That sucks Kelly.. because at the end of the day you're most likely to regret not living a life for yourself. Nothing beats the fulfillment in following your own dreams and desires. You might take over your Dad's company but you won't fill fulfilled because your Dad's company is your Dad's dream which he fulfilled by establishing it. Your own dream is to..." Ashley trails off asking Kelly.
