Saying that the bar was packed would be an understatement. There was a sea of people here - some people I didn’t even recognize. Tony looked so happy, and Steph was by his side all night. I was standing off to the side, by the bathrooms, just people watching. I had lost Mike about a half hour ago to Casey who wanted to play pool. Then the two of them disappeared, which meant that they went to smoke. Some of Jess’ friends I didn’t know were here, so she was hanging out with them while Jaime hung with the guys. Mia was practically ready to throw up, sitting on a stool by the bar. I laughed as I kept my eye on her. Her head hung low as she sipped on whatever was in the cup in front of her. Hate Bein’ Sober by Cheif Keef was playing, and all the guys were singing it with Tony. I saw the top of Mike’s head, which at least meant that him and Casey didn’t get mauled by a bear or something outside. I leaned against the wall and sighed with a small smile on my face. I was tipsy, and I was definitely going to need more alcohol in me to enjoy my time with all these drunk idiots. I pushed myself off the wall and made my way towards the bar, grabbing a seat next to Mia.

“Rae...” she smiled, her eyes half open as she drank.

“Hey Mi,” I smiled and looked at the bartender of the night, Sadie, “Can I get a Jack and Coke, please?”

“Is Mike paying for this one?” Sadie smiled at me as she handed me my drink and I nodded. “He’s quite the catch. I wish my fiancé paid for all my drinks!”

I laughed, “He’s not even my boyfriend. I don’t really have a choice on if I am going to pay for my drinks or not.”

“I’m so jealous,” she laughed. “You guys would make a great couple. Every time I see you guys I’m like... they’re so perfect together.”

“Aw,” I blushed and took a sip, “Thank you. You’re so sweet.”

“Look, he’s looking over here at you with those eyes. Those are the eyes my fiancé used to give me... he’s totally crazy about you.” She whispered to me. I looked over at him, seeing him staring at me with a smile on his face. “If a guy gives you that look, you go for it, Rae.”

“I think I’m going to go over there with him,” I smiled at her and looked at Mia. “Are you good?” She nodded and Sadie mouthed to me an ‘I got her’, as I grabbed my drink and made my way over to Mike.

As I approached him, his smile turned from a small one to an ear-to-ear one. I walked up in front of him and he grabbed my head, giving me a small peck on my forehead and then grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him. “Hello, gorgeous,” he whispered softly.

“Hi, Mike,” I whispered back looking up at him and making eye contact.

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t feel something when Mike and I stared into each other’s eyes. No one was paying attention to us, everyone’s backs were towards us because Tony was busy taking birthday shots of jager. I took it as my time to study Mike’s face. Mike’s eyes were bloodshot from smoking, his pupils dilated from being intoxicated. His top eyelids hung a little lower than normal, signaling that he was a few shots away from done. My eyes went all around his face. He was scruffy because I wouldn’t let him shave before we came out. His scruff was cute, and he still had a little bit of a mustache going on. His medusa shined through the dark hair that was forming above his lip. I looked up towards the top of his face, looking at the scar on his eyebrow that had come about a few years ago when he decided to walk down a flight of stairs drunk and bust his head open. I looked at his big ears poking out from the sides of his hat, smiling at the memory of referring to him as Dumbo in high school. His lips were plump and a little chapped from the weather. I watched as he licked over his bottom lip before pressing it together with his top one. The way his saliva shined on his lip ring amused me almost as much as the fact that his lip ring was too small for his giant bottom lip. It pushed in at the bottom of his lip, and was probably going to leave an indent whenever he decided to take it out in the future. I wanted to reach out and run my hand down his face, and that’s exactly what I did.

“You’re beautiful, Mike,” I whispered as my hand softly brushed over his cheek and down to his jawbone. His eyes closed and he smiled softly at the feeling of my hand on his face. His eyes opened back up when I brought my hand back down to my side. “Everything about you is so beautiful.”

“Not nearly as beautiful as you,” he whispered back and pulled me to where our chests pressed against each other. “I want to be able to call you mine, Rae. I want to hold you and kiss you in front of everyone. I want everyone to know how perfect you are, and that you’re all mine. Let them all know that there is no one I’d rather have than you,” he whispered and pulled my face close to his. “I want every guy to hate me because you’re mine. I want no one else to ever have you,” he connected his lips to mine in a soft kiss. When he pulled his lips from mine he rested his forehead against mine, “Quiero enamorarme de ti.”

I couldn’t tell if I was drunk off of the alcohol that was in my hand, or if I was drunk off of Mike, but I felt my eyelids droop and a dopey smile spread across my face. Nothing mattered at this moment. It didn’t matter if anyone saw us. It didn’t matter what anyone thought. His past didn’t matter. My past didn’t matter. What I did a few weeks ago didn’t matter. All that mattered was Mike and I. I threw my arms up around his neck and pulled him close to me and whispered, “Quiero enamorarme de ti también,” before crashing my lips into his passionately.

I heard gasps from behind us as Mike lifted my legs around his waist and stumbled back until his back hit the wall. The cup of alcohol crashed on the wall, splashed on us, and fell to the floor. One of his hands rested on the bottom of my butt, helping to hold me up, and the other held onto the back of my neck, pulling my lips closer to his. My arms were still around his neck, my hands grabbing at his hair, deepening the kiss. We stayed like this, practically eating each other’s faces, until we were both breathless and had to pull away. Mike still held me up with my legs around his waist and pressed his forehead against mine again, looking me in the eyes and smiling. The look on my face matched his completely. I diverted my eyes to his lips. People were talking behind us. I heard people asking if we were together. Other people asking if we were that drunk. Some people saying they thought we hated each other. Other people cheering our names. I looked back up into his eyes and all the voices behind us were pushed out of my head. I gave him a smile and pressed my lips against his again. This felt so right.

When I was placed back on the ground it was time for us to face everyone and a thousand questions. I turned and pressed my back up against the wall next to Mike’s; taking his left hand and lacing it in my right. Mike squeezed my hand lightly as a reassurance, I looked up at him with a smile before looking at everyone in front of us.

“You... what... I don’t even know what to say,” Tony’s mouth hung open, catching flies.

Next was Jess’ time to talk, “YOU AND MIKE?”

“I fucking knew it,” Steph smiled.

“Mis bebés,” I heard Vivian’s voice sound from the crowd and my eyes snapped to find her. “I never thought I’d see this day!” She shouted and threw her arms around me, “Bienvenido a la familia, la hija.” She pressed a kiss to my cheek.

Tony still stood there with his mouth open, along with other people that were standing around. No one was going to say anything other than the guys because no one had no place to. I looked over at all the guys, standing with their girls, and that’s when I realized Mike and I were about to be just like them.

Vic wore the biggest smile on his face, “Words can’t describe how happy I am this is finally public.”

“What? You knew about this!” Tony shouted.

“So did I,” Casey added.

“Me too,” Jaime and Mia, who had somehow stumbled over here, said at the same time.

“And me,” Alex waved her hand at Tony.

“Why am I always left out of everything,” Tony pouted. “You know what? This is the best fuckin’ birthday. We need to have a round of shots, Sadie. Jack. All of us!” Sadie smiled as she poured all of us shots and we stood by the bar. Tony climbed on top of one of the stools and shouted, “Shots to having the best friends, the best birthday, and the best news knowing my two best friends have been shagging it up!”

Everyone threw their shots back and the whole bar erupted in cheer. I threw my arms around Mike’s neck again and kissed him once more, “I adore you.”

“Now aren’t you happy we took the Camaro,” Mike winked as I peeled myself from him.

“You are such a horn dog all the time,” I laughed at Mike and threw my arms around Tony’s torso to give him a hug. “Happy birthday, Cesar Antonio Soto Perry. You’re one of the best friends I could ask for.”

“I LOVE YOU RAYMOND ALEXANDRA MATTHEWS!” Tony shouted and picked me up, spinning me around in a hug.

“STOP TONE, I’M GONNA PUKE!” I screamed and laughed as he set me back on my feet. “I’m sorry we kept it from you. We were trying to keep it from everyone until we were serious and going to tell people... and well... they found out on their own.”

“I don’t mind,” Tony smiled softly. “I’m just really happy for you guys. Now let’s get fuckin’ sloshed!”

The rest of the night passed us by, shot after shot, drink after drink, beer after beer. Everyone was drunk. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Even all the guys parents were drunk, not as drunk as us, but still drunk. One by one, people were leaving the bar. It was nearing 2 AM, and the rules were that the bar must be closed by 2:30. A lot of people had to call cabs, because most D.D.’s ended up drinking themselves to a very drunken state. About a half hour ago I had decided it was best to stop drinking, so that I would be at least a little sober to drive the Camaro home. I grabbed Mike’s hand and asked him for his keys before pulling him over to the boys and saying our goodbyes.

When we got into the car I realized how drunk I really was. “Fuck I’m so drunk,” I mumbled as I turned the car on.

“I can drive if you need me too,” Mike slurred from the passenger seat.

“No, babe, I got this,” I smiled at him. “I’ve done this before. We’re going to go to my apartment because it’s closer, okay?”

“Of course, Mama,” he spoke while rolling the window down.

“You gonna puke?” I laughed as I pulled onto the road. He groaned from the other side of the car and I heard him spit out the window.

“The last thing I want to do is puke in or on my car,” he mumbled while fumbling in his pocket then lighting a cigarette.

“Gimmie one,” I looked over and he put one in my mouth and lit it. I rolled my window down so I could flick the ash as I slowly drove home. Trying my hardest to drive safely as possible. I felt Mike’s gaze on me and I looked over at him, “What?”

“You’re so fucking sexy when you smoke,” he groaned while palming himself through his jeans. “I can’t wait to get you home.”

I felt myself heating up as I heard his zipper come undone, I glanced over as I drove and saw him jerking himself off. “Jesus christ, Mike.”

“Take your shirt off,” he slurred at me, watching me carefully as he moved his hand up and down on his member. I stopped at a stop sign and put the car in park, ripping my shirt off my body and looking at him. “And bra,” he smirked as I followed his commands and started driving again.

I felt him watching me smoke and drive topless as I continued to drive home. I heard my name as well as curse words lightly fall out of his mouth here and there. When I hit the last stop light before we got to my apartment complex he asked me to put my head down and suck him off as he came. I wasn’t going to say no, so I went down and did it; which left him staring at me in amazement. I pulled into the designated parking spot for my car, seeing as I left it at Mike’s, and turned the car off.

“Where’s my shirt?” I asked while fumbling around in the backseat.

“Don’t worry about it I got you,” Mike pulled his pants up and got out of the car, coming to my side and lifting me out of my seat, closing and locking the door behind him. He carried me all the way into the elevator and into my apartment.

When we got into my room we both tore our clothes off and climbed into bed next to each other naked. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist. We laid on our sides looking at each other.

“Mike,” I said softly.

“Sí, mi amor?” He responded looking into my eyes.

“I know you’re going to be very upset with me,” I gazed down at his chest so I wouldn’t have to look him in the eye. “When you were gone I slept with someone else. I don’t do relationships. They scare me. I have a bad past. I thought sleeping with someone else would make me not want to be with you the way I do. But I was wrong, and I’m so sorry I did that to you. You didn’t deserve it. You’ve been nothing but golden to me.” I felt tears swell in my eyes. The saying was right, drunk words are sober thoughts. “I wish I never did that. You’re all I want. I’m so sorry, Mike.”

He took his hand and wiped the tears from my eyes before grabbing the bottom of my chin and looking into my eyes, “Rae, you could treat me like dog shit and I’d still come crawling back to you. I accept your apology. I understand, baby doll.”

“Why are you so perfect?” I asked while sniffling. “I don’t know when I’ll be ready for a relationship,” I sighed.

“Having you in my arms is all I can ask for, Rae. Relationship or no relationship, I just want to know you’re mine,” he said softly.

“I’m yours, Mike. I’m all yours.”
