It’s been a year since Cameron and I fixed the issue’s we
were experiencing. Since then, Nick had moved to the east coast, last I spoke
to his brother, Brad. Jasmine, who had returned to Depoe Bay for a few days
during Natalie’s engagement party, had returned to Los Angeles to peruse her
career in modelling and acting. Natalie and Phillip were enjoying the engaged
life and were not in a rush to get married just yet. Cloud was now a fully
grown frumpy white cat, with the soul of a one pound kitten. Cameron and I were
still very much in love and resolved any underlying problems. He was happy with
his new position and recently received a raise. I was still working at the
bank, now an assistant manager, got a slight pay raise as well. Things were
still the same with my parents. My mother was super attentive and my dad was
still an asshole.
Cameron and I had both gotten new cars with our new raises.
Cameron got a Lexus RC convertible, while I got a new Mazda 3. It felt nice to
have my own car finally. Being without a car really sucked. The last car I had
was the Jeep Wrangler my dad gave me, but I had stupidly given it back to him
when we stopped talking. I just didn’t feel right having it. My mother offered
to help me with a down payment on a car, but I couldn’t accept.
It was Saturday, Larissa, Natalie and Phillip all met us at
our place as we got ready to go out. It was Larissa’s 21st birthday.
She was thrilled to be able to legally drink now. Natalie and Phillip were the
only two left underage, with Phillip being 20 and Natalie being 19. Cameron’s
birthday had just passed, now being 22; he was the grandpa of our group.
“Let’s get a move on fuckers.” Larissa said, tossing back a
pre-game shot
“I’m ready.” I said
“Let’s roll out.” Phillip said as we walked out and headed
to his Explorer
We got to the club which was down south in Newport, only a
twenty minute drive. As we entered the club, we found ourselves surrounded by
drunken girls making out in corners, a few slutty go-go dancers on top of boxes
and a stripper pole on one end of the dance floor.
“This is my kind of club.” Larissa said loudly trying to
over talk the music
“Let’s go get your birthday girl drink.” I said tugging her
along
We all walked single-filed, hand in hand to the bar, led by
Cameron.
“Two long islands and whatever the birthday girl wants.”
Cameron told the bartender
“I’ll take a wet pussy.” She said confidently
“Of course you will.” Natalie laughed
Larissa turned around, splitting her index finger and middle
finger creating a “V” and wiggled her tongue at Natalie.
“Ewe, get that thing away from me.” Natalie yelped
“You don’t know what you are missing.” Larissa joked
“Um…I’d like to think I know what I’m doing in that
department.” Phillip laughed
“Only a girl knows how to lick another girl’s pussy.”
Larissa winked at him
Phillip just shrugged.
When we got our drinks, we all took a sip and headed towards
an area of the dance floor. Hit after hit of our favorite songs came on as we
danced non-stop. About an hour into dancing and two long islands, Cameron
stopped dancing.
“Oh my God.” He said
“What is it?” I asked
“Is that?” He said to Natalie and pointing through the crowd
“It is!” she said as her face lit up
“Come on babe.” He said grabbing my hand as he led us through
the crowd, leaving Natalie behind with Phillip
We came up to a guy who looked our age. He was tall, dark,
handsome, very fit, ethnic and clean cut. Cameron immediately hugged him as
they patted each other on the back during the embrace. Natalie practically
jumped into his arms when she hugged him.
“It’s so good seeing you!” Natalie shouted
“Ted, this is my boyfriend, Joey.” He said introducing me as
I smiled
“Babe, this is Teddy, one of my childhood friends.”
I stuck out my arm to shake his waiting hand.
“Nice to meet you.” He smiled at me
“You too.” I responded
“God damn, Cam. You did good. He’s hot.” He said loudly, I
guess he was expecting me to blush and twirl my fingers in my hair, but just
smiled and looked at Natalie
“What about you? You ain't got a man, or men?” Cameron asked
laughing
“Nah. Staying single for a while. Enjoying life to much by
myself.” He stated
“I didn’t know you moved to Newport?” Cameron asked
“No, I didn’t. I’m moving back to D.B.” he said while I
deciphered D.B. as being Depoe Bay, “I just stopped here to meet up with my
cousin. She wanted to hit up the club. She’s a big’ol Lez.” He laughed
“Oh cool. We got one of those. She’s the one dancing at the
other end.” Cameron said pointing at Larissa
“Yeah, that’s Larissa. We took her out for her birthday. And
that’s my fiancé Phillip.” Natalie said
“Fiancé? Natalie! Congrats!” Teddy said picking her up while
hugging her
“Thank you.” She said muffled into his shoulder
“Well we have to celebrate. Come on, drinks on me.” He said
leading us to the bar
Natalie walked back to grab Phillip and Larissa. When she
returned to the bar with us, she introduced them to Teddy. He hugged Larissa,
wishing her a happy birthday and proceeded to take our drink order.
After grabbing our drinks we all headed back to the dance
floor. Teddy and his cousin joined us. We were all having a really good time,
more importantly, Larissa was having a blast. It was getting extremely hot, so
I told Cameron that I was going to step outside for a moment.
“Want me to come?” he asked
“No babe, I’ll be right back.” I said kissing him before I
turned around and headed for the door
As I emerged from the overstuffed club, I felt the relief of
cool coastal air rush upon me. I stared up into the sky full of stars. As I admired
the beauty of it, I was interrupted by a voice behind me.
“Beautiful night isn’t it?”
I turned around to find Teddy staring up at the sky as well.
“Oh, yeah it is.” I said looking back up at the sky
“So how long you and Cam been together? He asked
“Four years.” I said
“Wow.” He said
“Wow?” I asked
“It’s a long time. Longest, I’ve ever been in was a year.”
He admitted
“Relationships take work and commitment.” I said confidently
“Very true.” He said walking in front of me and facing me
He stuck out his hand holding a joint. I looked at it, then
at him. He blew the smoke out of the side of his mouth.
“No thanks.” I said
He shrugged and took another hit.
“How about another drink?” he asked
“I shouldn’t…I’ve already had four.”
“Really? Are you even feeling it?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t think so.” I said
“Come on.” He said grabbing my hand
I quickly yanked my hand out of his grip.
“Woah.” He said putting both hands up as if being arrested,
“Sorry.”
“No…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…I’m a jerk.” I said flatly
“No…no you aren’t. It’s a very natural instinct.” He said
rubbing my shoulders now
“I’ll take that drink now.” I smiled
“Okay. Come on…” he said nudging his head, “Keep your hands
and feet inside the ride at all times.”
I laughed at his commentary as we headed inside through the
crowd and back to the bar. He ordered two drinks; both were Mai-Tai’s. He
handed me one.
“One for now and one for later.” He winked at me
“Oh, just one is good…” I said
“Come on. Gotta live a little.” He said
Through the crowd I could see my friends dancing. Cameron
looked over and smiled at me. By the time I knew it, I had finished the first
drink. Teddy handed me the second and I tossed it back like a fresh glass of
lemonade. I definitely felt these drinks. I headed back out to the dance floor.
I spun around with Cameron as we kissed and danced around the entire floor
having a good time. We even got to dance on top of the go-go dancers’ boxes
and…
An alarm
screeched scaring me out of my sleep. I jolted out of bed. I planted my feet on
the ground and felt the entire room spinning.
“Morning babe.” Cameron said sitting up in bed
“Morning.” I said rubbing my face hunched over, “Why did the
alarm go off?” I asked
“We’re going to breakfast with my Mom, remember?” he said
“Oh…that’s right.” I said
“Are you okay?” he asked rubbing my back
“Yeah...” I lied, “okay, no.”
“Shit, you’re hungover.” He said getting up out of bed and
heading to the bathroom
Cameron came back to my side of the bed with a glass of
water and two alke-seltzers.
“Drink this.” He said placing it in my hand
I looked up with my eyes squinted, trying to peel them back.
I noticed the floor was littered with our clothes.
“Why are our clothes everywhere?” I asked
“You don’t remember?” he asked
“No.”
“How much do you remember last night?” he asked
“I’m not sure. Dancing on the go-go boxes?”
“That’s it? Babe…there was so much more that happened after
that. I can’t believe you blacked out?”
“But why are our clothes everywhere?” I asked again
“Baby, when we got home, you tore off my clothes and we had
sex.”
“That must be why my legs are sore.” I said
“Okay, I’m going to cancel breakfast with my mom.” He said
walking over to his cell phone still naked
“No…don’t do that. She looks forward to us coming over.” I
said
“But you can’t go like this.”
“I’ll just take a shower and I’m sure I’ll feel better.”
“No way. You are staying here. I’ll just postpone our
breakfast for next Sunday.”
I didn’t have the strength to disagree with him. I just lied
back down and closed my eyes.
