worked up, and we have the best sex ever."
I laugh at her. "Are you kidding?"
"No, I'm serious. He loves it. He's such a pervert."
"Guess that brings new meaning to the phrase 'clean up in aisle four.'" We both break into fits of laughter, causing our normal hiccups and snorts to surface.
" Sarah, more dancing, " I yell at her while she downs the last of her cocktail. We make our way back to the dance floor, and I'm swaying to the music as Sarah is jumping around with her hands in the air and her eyes closed. I notice a blond god walking toward us. My vision is blurry, but I think I know who he is. He comes up behind Sarah and moves his hands around to her front, grabbing her tits. I laugh as Sarah smacks at his hands and turns around quickly to see who her drunken admirer is. Chris laughs when she tries to punch him in the arm but misses, causing her to stumble forward. He catches her as she realizes it's him.
"You're an asshole, you asshole!'
"Yeah, but I'm your asshole."
I don't know if that's sweet or just gross.
Sarah leans up and kisses Chris softly. They start to slow dance together to the really loud and fast music. It makes me think of Aiden and how much I miss him. I take out my cell to message Aiden, but I see there is a reply from him.
Baby, I don't want to be controlling but please don't have anything else to drink. I'm not there to help you, and I'm worried about you. If you don't stop drinking, I'll have to catch an early plane so I can look after you. I love you. xoxo
I squint trying to read the message through my blurry eyes. So you say I can't have another drink? Well, watch this! I stumble my way up to the bar. The bartender looks at me whilst trying my best to pretend I'm not drunk.
"What would you like?"
"Another Pina- hiccup -Colada thanks." He makes my drink. I pick it up and walk toward the dance floor. I pick my straw out and throw it over my shoulder.
"Hey, watch it!" I hear someone call out. I giggle and keep walking. I down my drink as fast as I can. There, that will show you, Aiden. I hand my empty glass to some random guy, and he looks at me strangely then I walk onto the dance floor to find Sarah and Chris. I know I'm stumbling slightly, but I don't care. I'm having fun. I walk up behind Sarah and wrap my arms around her and Chris, resting my head on her shoulder. I can hear her giggling while Chris smiles at me.
"Hey, Jeni."
"Hey, Chris."
I realize I haven't messaged Aiden back. I let go of a swaying Sarah and Chris and take out my phone.
Babay im noT eveen drinkies anymoore3. Nope need to worries but I do mwiss yo.
I hit Send but don't check my messages before I send it. I go to put it away, and it vibrates almost instantly. I giggle and hiccup as I squint to read the message.
That's it! I'm getting on the next plane. See you soon.
My eyes open wide at the message, and then I squint to read it again. Fuck ! He can't be serious, can he? He's not actually coming home because I'm a little wasted? He sounds angry.
Fuck!
Shit!
Crap!
I look at Sarah and Chris, and they're oblivious to that fact that Aiden's coming home. Alistair will be so pissed with me that he's coming home early from a business trip because I can't handle my liquor. I start to feel the tears welling in my eyes as I stumble on the spot. I don't know what to do. Suddenly a pair of hands comes around from behind, resting on my tits and then squeezing them. My breasts are kind of tender at the moment; I must be getting my period soon. I stand there in shock that someone is manhandling me. I turn around and slap the guy across the face.
" Fuck off; I'm spoken for— Aiden?" I almost cry when I see it's him.
He rubs his cheek where I slapped him. A wicked grin appears on his face.
"Oh my god, what are you doing here?" I blurt out in my drunken emotional state. I can't hold back my tears.
"I missed you too." He pulls me to him. "I thought I'd trick you and tell you I was coming back later than I actually was.
