Until The End Of Time
Chapter Three
It was 5pm on Friday. Erica went to work for an appointment she had in the morning but spent the rest of the day at home. Her phone suddenly blasted out her ringtone. She looked at it to see that Stan was calling "Hey, Erica. I was just wondering if you could do me a huge favour?" "Yeah sure. What is it?" She replied. "I told the Pierce The Veil boys that you would pick them up. Since you know where I live and all that. I said they could crash and you would give them a lift back to their hotel in the morning. Or should I say your hotel haha" Erica didn't know how to respond to this. She was about to go and pick up her favourite band to party with them. OMG was her main thought. "Sure thing. I'm guessing by the 'your hotel' comment they're staying at the Marriot?" "Indeed they are Powerpuff" The Marriot was a hotel in the town centre that Erica's father had bought a few years ago. It was probably the only decent hotel in the town. "That's such a stupid nickname. I like it though haha. What time did you tell them I'd be there?" Erica had only just got out the shower and was nowhere near ready. She was hoping for a few hours. "I told them to be waiting on the courtyard outside the hotel for about 8" Good. 3 hours, plenty of time. Erica had thought about the whole getting dressed up situation and had decided that she did indeed want to make an effort. Mainly for the younger Fuentes. "Okay, I can't wait for tonight. I'm gonna try and find something nice to wear now. See you later bud!" Stan said goodbye and Erica hung up her phone.
She went over to her walk in closet and rummaged through all the dresses and skirts hanging on the railing at the back of the closet. She finally rested on black mini skater dress that had parts of it cut out to show off her sides. She had never worn this dress but she new she had bought if for a reason. It was gorgeous. She decided to pair it with a pair of strappy black wedges and a bowler hat. By the time she had done her hair and make up it was half 7. She went into her kitchen and grabbed to bottles of Jack Daniels and her bag from the side. On her way out the door she took another look at herself in the mirror and was surprisingly happy with her appearance. She felt good. Stepping out the door she jumped into her black Range Rover and headed for The Marriot.
When she pulled up she could already see the four Mexicans sat on one of the benches in the courtyard. They all appear to have dressed up too. Casual but dressed up. Meaning they all had a shirt and skinny jeans on. They were so handsome. Erica beeped her horn and they all walked over. Mike immediately got into the front while the remaining three piled into the back seat. Mike couldn't help but look Erica up and down a few times before letting out an "Damn, Stan was right when he said you looked good dressed up" He let out a slight giggle. As did Erica she was also blushing a lot. She said hi to the boys and then replied to Mike "You don't look so bad yourself Michael" Mike cringed at that. He hated to be called by his full name.
Soon enough the gang had pulled up to Stan's house. They all seemed pretty excited. Especially since on the drive over Erica had explained how Stan throws some of THE best house parties. As Erica got out of the car and was handed her bottles of JD by Mike all for of the boys wolf whistled in her direction. Erica felt her cheeks grow warm and said "Oh you guys. Stop it. It's just a dress. No biggie" They all laughed and Mike couldn't help himself "Yeah but you look sexy as fuck!!" And with that Erica turned away and walked up the steps to the door. Stan didn't have a huge house. But it wasn't small either. She knocked on the door and within a matter of seconds it was opened by a rather smiley looking Stan. "See what did I say? You look fucking amazing Powerpuff. Now get your butts in here. It's time to party!!" All 6 of them cheered and everyone was in the lounge in moments.
The party went way into the night. Erica and Stan made sure they had a good time. Especially since neither of them had work the next day. The other two artists in the shop were in London at a convention and they decided to take the weekend off. Mike and Erica had been talking all night. Well Erica was talking to all the guys but it was different with Mike. Erica new that he was flirting all night, this made her feel nervous but she couldn't help but do the same with him. She has never really been one to flirt though.
It was about 2am and Erica had escaped from the four boys to the back garden. She checked her phone and immediately wished she hadn't. She huffed and put it back in her bag as a pair of hands grabbed her from behind. She already knew who it was. She turned a gave Mike a small smile. Separating from his grasp. She jumped up on the side of the fence as he lit a cigarette. She took it from his hands and breathed in the toxic chemicals. He smiled before taking it back. He moved so he was stood in front of her. Erica's decided she would be a bit adventurous and she wrapped her legs around Mike's torso. He moved in closer. They kept it innocent though. Mike decided to speak first. "Why'd you look so pissed when you checked your phone?" He had noticed the way she acted moments ago. "Oh it's nothing" She said "Just an old friend of mine thinking he can text me shit whenever he wants" She wasn't lying but it wasn't exactly the whole truth either. Erica wanted to avoid this conversation so leaned in closer to Mike and planted an innocent peck on his lips. She could feel him smiling against her own lips. Mike threw his cigarette on the ground a pulled Erica's head closer to him by the neck, deepening their kiss. Erica pulled away and jumped off the fence. Still leaning against it though. Mike was still stood in front of her. It was like they were the only 2 at the party. "I want to hang out with you. Just the two of us. What are you doing tomorrow?" "Nothing but I did think maybe you could come over get high and maybe we could-" Erica was cut off by Mike saying "Fuck?" Exactly what she had in mind but she didn't want to say so. "Well that sounds like a plan" She let out a giggle. "I'm gonna go to bed now though. I am whacked." "Can I join? Haha" Erica chuckled "Not tonight, Michael. I'm camping in with Stan. It might be a bit weird" Mike was actually starting to like being called by his first name. If anyone other than Erica started it though, he would give them a death glare. "You're sleeping with your boss? What?" Erica almost fell over laughing at this. Stan was gay, she realised no one had told him. "Not like that silly. He doesn't do girls. He and I always share a bed at parties" Mike felt a sudden rush of calm knowing that nothing funny was going to happen "Oh, I see. I'll see you in the morning then" He said and placed another peck on Erica's lips. She headed back inside. Saying good night to the rest of the guys and making her way up stairs.
