Later that night when we got home from our day to the spa, Ash was so upset from seeing Mark and Shannon having dinner that she spent the rest of the night in her room.
I felt awful about the whole situation, but not knowing what actually happened between Shannon and Mark was the hardest part. Frankly I was getting sick of guessing what was going on between them and decided I needed to find out once and for all.
I spent the next few days with Shannon to try to find the out truth. After much poking and prodding, Shannon finally broke down and told me everything. I left there almost immediately and rushed home. I had to let Ashley know what I had found out.
"Ash? You here?" I said as I walked in the front door. "We need to talk." I looked around an empty living room and glanced in her bedroom for a second, still no Ashley.
Finally I saw the bathroom door closed and walked up to it. I placed my ear near the door and heard a few muffled farts echoing in the bowl. I walked in, figuring this would be as good a time as any to test out our open door policy she proclaimed we had.
An unfamiliar and foul stench greeted me before I even fully entered. I had smelled Ashley's brand before, but this was different. I wondered if she was sick because it was so unlike her scent I had grown used to.
Before I could even ask, I was shocked out of that thought process.
"What the fuck?" Screamed an unfamiliar voice. "Get the fuck out! Jesus, don't you knock?"
I looked up and saw not Ashley, but a girl just as beautiful. She had dirty blonde hair, tan skin and was covering her bare thighs and midsection as best she could with her forearms as she sat there on the toilet helpless, vulnerable and clearly freaked out.
I put my hands up as if trying to calm down a rabid dog. "I'm so, so sorry. I thought you were Ashley." I pleaded.
A few plops broke the silence, which sounded like tiny pebbles dropping into the water. I could picture their size and solidness instantly just from the sound. She curled up into herself trying to hide what was happening.
"Why are you still in here? GET OUT!" She screamed as she now refused to look at me.
"What is going on in here?" Ashley asked as she rushed in the bathroom with another girl I didn't recognize. She had dark hair, slightly pale skin and was dressed in a tight top revealing much of her impressive cleavage.
"Jesus, is anyone else going to join us?" The girl on the toilet asked.
"Are you alright, Emily?" Ashley asked, ignoring the fact that she was in an obviously compromised and embarrassing position.
"I'm fine; I just need some damn privacy! Especially from this dickhead." She said clearly talking about me.
Ashley turned and gave me curious look with her eyebrows raised. "What are you doing in here, anyway?"
"I was just trying to wash my hands." I barely got out the words.
"Can you please discuss this somewhere else? ALL OF YOU!" Emily screamed.
With that we finally got out of there, and Ashley shut the door behind us.
"Ash, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." I whispered to her.
"This is messed up Jason." She looked furious. I wondered if it was because she had to pretend like that was an unusual occurrence for the sake of her other friend listening to our conversation. "It's probably best that we don't see you for a while. Just stay in your room or something." Ashley said discouragingly.
She had never seemed so put off before. Did I really piss her off that badly? It was just an accident. I went into my room and watched some TV, waiting for their little hangout to be over. Everything on TV was stupid and annoying. It was just as well; I couldn't concentrate anyway. I hated it when Ashley was mad at me. Although, seeing her gorgeous friend Emily in that intimate way was surprisingly hot. My heart was still racing for a variety of reasons.
Moments later Ashley walked in my room and shut the door behind her. She crossed her arms and just looked at me.
"What?" I said. This whole thing was her fault anyway. Open door policy my ass, I thought to myself.
"Well now you've done it. She is pretty pissed." Ash said softly.
"Ash, you know I didn't mean to walk in on her." I said in a pleading whisper, "I thought it was you in there."
"Well it wasn't. You walked in on someone else's private moment."
Her words were slower than normal. Oh my god, is she jealous that I experienced that kind of moment with another girl? "Ash I'm sorry. I didn't see anything."
"Shhhhh." She said almost comically.
"Ash, jeez, are you drunk?" I said now putting some of her strange actions together.
"I have had a few drinks. But this is my bachelorette party; I think I'm entitled to enjoy myself."
"Your bachelorette party? What? Why didn't you tell me? I could have stayed over longer at Shannon's. I don't want to interrupt your party; I'll get out of here."
"I'm afraid you've already interrupted. And maybe you didn't hear me, but she is pissed." She said sternly.
"I heard you, but what do you want me to do about it? I apologized a million times. What else can I do?" I asked figuring it was an empty gesture.
"She's incredibly embarrassed. And frankly she wants to get even with you." She said softy.
"What...like walk in on me while I'm pooping?" I said in disbelief.
Ashley scoffed at that idea, "What? Good god, no. She wants to get even, not torture herself." Then added, "And for the record, she claims she only peed and wasn't pooping." Ash slightly rolled her eyes with that last comment, holding back a laugh.
"Oh please...I heard it fall into the water." I said quickly.
Ashley just shook her head. "Doesn't really matter. Let her have some dignity. Now as for you losing yours..."
I realized there was not much else I could say. "What do you want me to do?"
"Well this is my bachelorette party, and the girls and I have decided we need some entertainment." She said slyly.
"Entertainment?" I asked.
"Yes, some adult entertainment...from you."
"Like a stripper?" I laughed uncomfortably.
She nodded with her grin curling up the side.
"Ash, I can't do that. What about Shannon? She'd kill me."
"Ha! Shannon is only your girlfriend. I'm engaged, and Emily and Robin are both married. Technically speaking you have the least to lose." She said forcefully.
"Ouch." That actually stung, hearing my relationship quantified to having less value.
"All I meant was, they are absolutely not going to tell anyone...they want to keep this between us even more than you do." Ashley added.
That actually made sense. "But I'm not a stripper. I have no moves." I said trying to imagine how to even begin.
