The sun had started to set and nearly half of the contents of the coolers had been emptied, opened, and drank. Callie and John had settled into lawn chairs in the corner while Ally and Suzie talked to them from inside the pool, cuddled up onto one of the floaties. Mike and Bonnie had been talking pretty much all night and Sarah had left an hour or so ago claiming she was "too old and too tired" to keep partying. Alice and I had settled onto the colorful unicorn some time after she had left, joining in on the conversations around us every so often. In this moment, looking up at the faded sky of purple and red, I felt at home. As I broke my gaze and looked around at the faces of all of my closest friends that had become my family over the years I couldn't help but feel a strong desire to cancel the tour and just stay here. I shook my head trying to clear the thoughts but the alcohol infused paranoia already had my head spinning.
"The fireworks should start soon, I thi
We had barely caught the flight, I had almost thrown up multiple times once aboard and we had spent thirty minutes tracking down our luggage before we finally made our way out into the musty air of the city. I noticed a rather attractive young woman holding a sign with Blair's name and knew instantly it must be her manager Taylor. I looked her over noticing her long black hair and dark gray eyes that contrasted against the bright yellow dress she was wearing and couldn't help but instantly dislike her for one reason or another."Hi you must be Taylor!" Blair greeted her with a smileI couldn't help but roll my eyes as I watched Taylor's face light up as she pulled Blair into too tight of a hug "Blair it's so nice to finally meet you!"Blair stepped back and smiled over at me not seeming phased in the slightest by this "This is my girlfriend Alice who I told you about."
"Alright places people!" Taylor yelled over the announcer causing everyone to scatterI took Alice's hand and walked onstage to the red X Taylor had shown me earlier. We faced the crowd still hidden in the darkness. It was ironic really, this would be my last moment in the shadows rather than the spotlight."I love you baby you're gonna do great." Alice whispered to me squeezing my hand slightly"I love you too beautiful and thank you." I whispered back squeezing her hand in return"You're on." Taylor stated over the headphone mic I had been given earlierI hadn't even noticed that the announcer had gone quiet until now.I took a deep breathe before turning on my mic "Hello everyone, I'm so excited to be here today and finally reveal my true identity to all of you. The truth is, I gradu
I was admittedly having more fun today than I had originally expected despite the anxiety of admitting on live TV that I had dated one of my students. The internet seemed to think it was "hot" but I had a feeling my new co-workers wouldn't agree. On stage everything else seemed so irrelevant but now I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made a mistake."You okay?" Blair whispered in my ear from beside me in the backseat of the same car we'd arrived in earlierI smiled softly trying not to ruin today for her "Never better.""I'll say!" Taylor interjected "You two are all the worlds been talking about since the reveal!"Can I not have a single conversation with my girlfriend without interruption?Ben let out a low chuckle "Yeah I cant even scroll through Facebook without seeing you two."
Taylor had arrived promptly at seven and the guards escorted the three of us down to the car where Ben was patiently waiting. We drove for about ten minutes before Ben had parked outside of a club called Marquee New York. Security led us in through a special back door entrance where our hands were stamped with a yellow star outlined in black. The back room was quite luxurious with red leather couches and a private mini bar but I was rather excited to get on the dance floor. Being underage I hadn't expected to be able to drink but as Taylor handed each of us a glass of champagne I was happily surprised."I just wanna say that I am so proud of everyone! Today went perfectly so I'd like to make a toast to our amazing author Blair. Cheers!" Taylor said holding her glass upI rolled my eyes feeling heat rising to my cheeks as we all clinked out glasses together. I took a small sip tasting a hint of peach a
"Here she is folks!" The DJ yelled into the mic as the music cutEveryone froze for a second, the club quieter than it had been all night. Suddenly a roar filled the club as everyone screamed and the DJ laughed into the Mic."Alright, let's give a warm New York welcome to Blair!" He yelled before extending the mic over to her with a grinHe was wearing black sweats and a red tee shirt with beats headphones on his neck. His hair was black and curly and his eyes were a light shade of brown. He seemed to be having fun with the whole situation but I was surprised when he returned to the DJ booth after Blair took the mic."Thank you guys, I hope you're having fun tonight." Blair said causing the crowd to hoot and holler for a moment "Let's fucking party yall!"The crowd went nuts after that as Juice WRLD cam
They carried in me the air, strangers copping a feel before passing me to the next section of the crowd. I let myself get lost in the sensation of trusting strangers to keep me in the air, the feeling of strange hands sliding along my body. When I reached the back of the club I was set gently on the floor. There were hot girls circling me as the club spun around me. They all wanted to ask me questions and some kept trying to touch me as we danced. I felt a tap on my shoulder and spun around meeting Alice's dark green eyes set on me."Hi babe." I smiled awkwardlyShe shook her head "Let's just go.""But I'm having fun!" I whinedShe shot me a look and I rolled my eyes crossing my arms."Are you being serious right now Blair?" She asked scoffing at me"Yes I am." I grumbled turning back t
I woke up on couch and felt my head throbbing as I tried to process the events of last night. I slowly sat up and held my head in my hands. Blair cheated on me last night with that dumb bitch at the club. I shook my head trying to clear the image from my mind and stood up going over to the mini fridge and retrieving two bottles of water. I went over to the bed and saw Blair passed out on top of the covers with her sparkly gold party dress still clinging to her. I threw the bottle of water at her and she groaned rolling over to face me.Her eyes brightened as soon as she saw me "Good morning baby."I scowled at her "Don't call me that."Her brows tightened into a line as she sat up and stared at me "Did I miss something?"I snorted shaking my head in disbelief "You seriously don't remember last night?"
I had signed thousands of copies of my new book in the past couple of hours. My mind and body were on autopilot the entire time. I couldn't stop replaying what I could remember of that night in my head. I had felt dead inside since waking up the next morning. I had ruined everything with Alice in one drunken mistake of a night and it was all my fault. I was being reckless and nothing could change what had happened."You okay?" Ben asked looking at me in the rear view mirrorI shook my head looking down at the floor mats "I fucked everything up Ben.""You did." He nodded in agreement"You really did." Taylor added still looking out the window"I need to fix this but I don't even know where to start." I stated holding my head in my hands "I love her so much.""Then why did you kiss that g
~ 20 Years Later~ "Aria hurry up we're going to be late!" I yelled as I straitened out Alex's bow tie for the fifteenth time tonight Alex had just turned 10 and was quite proud to now be in the double digits. Their bright blue eyes were fixed on Blair as though they were silently begging her to save them and I rolled my eyes before ruffling their curly brown hair. "Hey stop it!" They whined Blair smirked at me from the kitchen, lazily leaning against the counter with her arms crossed over her chest. She was wearing a classic black suit that threw me back to our wedding night and damn did I want to tear it off of her just as much now as I did then. She raised an eyebrow as though to call out my not so appropriate thoughts but then smiled nervously "I still can't believe they're making such a big deal about this." "It is a big deal." Aria stated from the bottom of the stairwell, her blonde hair curled and styled into a half up half down hairdo She was a sophomore now and had g
Alice had insisted on me being blindfolded for the last twenty minutes of the drive despite the fact that I had already figured out by the plane ride and many many road signs that were in Paris. It was surreal being here even without having been able to see much yet and honestly it's a damn shame we'd be so preoccupied in bed. "You know if you want to be kinky there are other ways than blindfolding me." I stated as she led me out of the car She laughed "It's only for another minute or so." I could hear the opening and closing of a door as we continued on. "Are you leading me to your red room so you can have your wicked way with me?" I joked Even with the blind fold I knew she was rolling her eyes "Yeah sure something like that." Her grip tightened on my hand for a second and then she let go. "Alright you can take off the blindfold." She stated I reached behind my head untying the knot before letting it fall. My found fell wide open as I looked around taking in the beauty of
Everyone was now in full swing, literally as they danced around with drinks on tap. My heart was so full and I felt complete as I sat next to Blair, our fingers interlaced under the table. I watched Taylor awkwardly dancing with Sarah who was dancing to her own beat. I laughed slightly to myself and Blair turned, a devious smirk on her face "What are you laughing about?" I pointed over at them and she followed suit, a cute laugh in the air "Damn Sarah is a bad dancer." I lightly hit her arm "Be nice!" "She can't even hear me." She replied with a shrug as she rolled her eyes and then looked up at me, the action making a heat scorch through me "So how long until we can sneak away?" "We should at least try to pretend we aren't dying to skip right to the honeymoon." I laughed as I removed my hand from hers and rested it on her thigh "Regardless of how much we may want to just sneak off to be by ourselves." I slid my hand up slow enough to feel the increased shaking of her leg as I
I stared at myself in the mirror and straightened my tie before buttoning up my suit coat. I had opted for a traditional black suit, well untraditional to Alice's mothers standards, but you get the gist. It was crazy to think that we would officially be married after today and that we'd be whisked away to the honeymoon which I still had no clue about since ALICE had begged to not only single handedly plan it but also keep it a complete secret. I mean at this point it could be in the arctic tundra in an igloo for all I know and honestly I wouldn't be upset because at least then we'd be completely alone to... consummate the marriage. "You look great." Sarah beamed from behind me I glanced up and smiled "Thank you, so do you." Truthfully she did look amazing in her light blue dress and white heels with her makeup on point. "Are you ready?" She questioned I nodded "I've never been more ready for anything in my entire life." She took my hand and we made our way out to the hall of t
~One Week Until The Wedding~"Thank you so much for setting all of this up Bonnie." I smiled over at herShe grinned "Of course it was my honor as your maid of honor." I laughed shaking my head "I'm really enjoying the wine tour so far.""Me too, I'm pretty excited for what's yet to come though." She smirked "Should I be worried?" "Absolutely not I promise I have planned a great night that will not require you to do anything immoral or regretful." She laughed"I didn't say you did." I shruggedShe gave me a pointed look "It was implied in your tone.""Ah are you a tone reader now?" I laughed She rolled her eyes "Just drink your wine."~6 Days Until The Wedding~"The sunset is quite beautiful tonight." Blair whispered snuggling closer to me on the small couch on our porchI nodded "It is but it doesn't even compare to how beautiful you are."Even through the pinkish hue being cast by the setting sun I could see a blush creeping across her cheeks."You're such a suck up." She mumble
~One Week Before The Wedding~Being engaged was heavenly, planning the wedding however had been a royal pain. I mean seriously I would have never even thought of half of the bullshit we had to plan! Luckily one thing Callie and Bonnie had taken full control of was the bachelorette parties that were tonight. I was ecstatic to have a night to have fun with my friends especially with how stressed I had been lately. "Alright ladies, whose ready for the night of their life's?" Callie questioned with a big grin We all half screamed in excitement as we climbed into the limo. I was nearly impaled by Callie's heels as she half fell in before getting situated next to me. "So what are we doing first?" I questioned looking over at herShe shrugged "Guess you'll have to wait and see."I rolled my eyes "Alright, so have you written your speech for the wedding yet?""Maybe." She grinned "That's a yes." Allie laughedSuzie giggled "A yes I've prepared the ultimate embarrassing speech ever."Call
Being engaged to Blair is like living in a dream. I had been looking forward to this part of our life's for so long and it was so amazing to finally be experiencing it in real life. Everyday I get to wake up to her beautiful face and every night I get to fuck her until one of us can't take anymore. When we had first met I would've never predicted that things would turn out the way they did but I couldn't be happier that they have."Babe come join me!" She yelled from the back deckI set down my pencil and headed outside where I found Blair lounging on a floatie in the pool. She looked hot as hell in her pink bikini and all I could think about was ripping it off of her."Care for a swim?" She questioned cocking her head to the side
I walked right into Alice's room finding her seated at her desk focused on the papers sprawled from one end to the other.She peeked up and smiled once she realized it was me "Hey babe.""Hello beautiful." I smirked leaning down and placing a short sweet kiss on her lips before holding out a bag to herShe took it and carefully unpacked the Chinese I had gotten for us for lunch. I pulled a seat over so I could sit across from her and couldn't help but get deja vu from senior year.~1 year and 3 months ago~"Blair can you please at least try to focus!" Alice exclaimed causing me to turn my attention away windowI could feel the heat rising to my cheeks in an instant "
What the hell Blair? You're seriously just gonna leave me stranded in the middle of a creepy ass seemingly abandoned winery where everyone seems to have vanished into thin air or something? I crossed my arms over my chest trying my best to stay calm as I waited for her to return. Suddenly I heard a faint melody playing in the background and it increased in volume with each second until the lyrics sung by a familiar voice came across the speakers.Yeah baby you know you got my heart thumpin'Suddenly I saw a line of my family and friends run out of a door pumping their hands in and out from their heart as they went and I can honestly say I've never been more surprised or confused in my life.Goddam anything you ask you know I'm jumpingEveryone simultaneous
