"Okay, so I called a cab and it should be here in ten minutes!" Becca announced as she returned, placing her cellphone in her purse and sat down on the bed next to Laura.

"I don't think I'll bring my phone nor a purse, I'll just stuff my bra with cash!" I told them. I wanted to be able to dance all night without having to worry where my purse is or something like that, dancing with purses ain't fun.

"Why?" Laura questioned.

"I don't want to worry about if I lost or forgot something but I'll text Chris before leave so he won't have to worry."

I got up from the bed and went over to my bag, searching for my phone. If Chris would arrive at 8 then he would get the about the same time we did, so I could easily get him in faster.

'Hey, babe. Just wanted to make sure you know where the bar is and that we're meeting at 8... I won't bring my phone so that's why I'm checking in on you earlier. '

Not even a minute after I pressed 'send' , my phone started ringing Samsung's trademark message tone.

'Yeah, I'm sure that I know where it is... We'll meet up there, babe '

I wondered if he was close, I mean it was already 7.20 p.m and if the cab would be here in 10 minutes, well I was going to be there about 5 minutes before 8. He would have to be pretty close to make it there in time.

Sounds good, are you almost there?

"Texting loverboy I see" Becca cooed as she swirled a lock of her hair around her finger.

I raised an eyebrow at her, "What makes you think that I did?"

"Because you get this dorky smile whenever you talk about him, talk with him or text him. It's almost sickening how adorable you are" Laura explained as she traced one of her skull-tattoos on her left arm. I felt myself blush a bit, but I guess it was true. I was a dork with him or whenever someone mentioned something about Chris I would feel butterflies in my stomach. It still surprises me after 1,5 years that we've been together that he still has that effect on me.

"Stop thinking about him!" Becca shouted as she interrupted my thoughts by throwing a pillow at my head. I just laughed as I check the time on my cellphone.

"Girls, the can should be here any second. We better head down to the lobby" I explained as I once again walked over to my bag and dug up my wallet. Opening the wallet, I grabbed the lose bills I had and stuffed it in my bra. I know classy, right?

We walked out of the hotel room, after making sure that Becca put the hotel key in her purse so I could get in again.

After we had paid the cab driver for the ride over to Johnny's, we were stoked to head in and party. Tonight I was going to get real damn wasted like I always get on my birthday, one year older didn't matter. When we entered the bar my eyes automatically started scanning the crowd for Chris, with no luck I assumed he still hadn't arrived.

We sat down next to a table as it wasn't occupied. I ordered myself a jack and coke, knowing that I hadn't had one of those in over a year. The waiter came back after a couple of minutes serving us our drinks and left leaving the recipe. I had also ordered a beer for Chris, knowing that he always had one before the other stuff. Just as I was about to reach out to grab my glass, a pair of big arms embraced me from behind causing me to squeak at the surprise. My head turned to the person and I shot up out of my seat, hugging Chris tightly after placing a kiss on his lips.

"Happy Birthday babe, I missed you" he murmured softly as he pecked me on the lips. I had missed him and his amazing kisses even though we were just away from each other less than 4 days.

"Thanks and I missed you too" I said while gazing up in his ocean blue orbs. He sent me a soft smile and I could tell that by the way he looked at me that he really did love me, just like I loved him. It was a great feeling. Our moment was interrupted by somebody clearing their throat, I turned around and started feeling a bit embarrassed that I forgot about Becca and Laura.

"Sorry guys, Chris this is my friends Becca and Laura. Becca and Laura, this is my lovely man Chris" I introduced them. Laura shook hands with him smiling as she did so, then she turned to me and winked. When Chris was about to greet Becca she caught him by surprise as she lashed onto him with a hug. I couldn't help but to laugh at Chris surprised face as he awkwardly patted her back.

"Get your own man, Becca" I glared playfully. She simply laughed it off and sat down again. I reached up to peck his lips again before I sat down, Chris copying my same move.

"I ordered a beer for you" I informered Chris and he thanked me before grabbing my hand and rubbing small imaginary circles with his thumb. The girls seemed excited to have Chris here, I mean sure he was my boyfriend but I think they were more excited over him being famous too. Yes, I was a bit famous too but they had known me for a while.
After a while of chit chatting I was starting to get curious to what Chris had bought me as a birthday gift. I leaned over and whispered to him,

"What's do I get as I birthday gift?"

He turned to me and whispered back, "It's a surprise"

"Come on, please tell me!" I whined and he just smirked. Damn him, now I was even more curious. I took a gulp of my beer that I ordered before and finished it off. Now I had drunk about 2 jack and cokes, 1 tequila shot and 1 beer. I was starting to feel a bit tipsy.

"Babe, you wanna dance?" I asked as I ran my hand up and down his arm. He answered with a yes and we excused ourselves from the girls as we walked out on the dance floor.

The song that was playing had a fast tempo and a lot of weird ass sounds, yes it was electro-house. I locked my arms around Chris neck and moved my body along with the music, after I while I changed my position so that my back was pressed up against Chris hard chest. His hands found their place on my hips as we grinded against each other. Just as things really started to heat up the song changed to a slow, ballad. Chris twirled me around so that I was facing him. I once again place my arms around his neck, I was lucky I was in heels otherwise I wouldn't have reached. After a couple of seconds I recognized the song to be 12 Stones, Lie To Me . One of my personal favourites.

I noticed Chris was looking down at me with a soft smile on his lips, my eyes locked with his ocean blue ones and we slowly swayed from side to side.

"Have I told you how beautiful you are?" he asked me and I blushed, slowly nodding.

"Well, I don't think I do it enough. You really are beautiful Ashleigh. I'm lucky to have you in my life."

"No, I'm the lucky one." This moment couldn't be more perfect I thought as Chris leaned down and connected our lips. Our lips moved in sync as we still danced.
We pulled away and once again our eyes connected, his face turned into a smiling one. I could tell something was up.

"What?" I questioned as I eyed him suspiciously.

He took a hold of my hand and twirled me around before answering me. "Well don't you still wonder what I got you for your birthday?"

My ears immediately perked up and I smiled widely. "Yes?" I prolonged.

"I know that you love your life in New York, especially with me" he winked. "...but I also notice how you talk about California when we bring the subject up and I know that you love it here, as well as you miss it. So, I got us a house in Orange County and before you ask, no I didn't sell our penthouse in New York. I just thought that it might be good for you to change your environment sometimes." I grinned widely before smashing my lips onto his.

"You are the best boyfriend ever, I can't believe you did that, for me! I love you so...so... so... much!" I exclaimed in-between kisses.

"Why wouldn't I?" he asked but I knew it was more of a rhetorical question. I just smiled at him, feeling that strong pull in my heart towards him. He was amazing, he did this for me and he had no idea how much it meant to me. If he isn't my soul -mate, I don't know what I'll do with myself.

He dipped his head down and our lips once again started dancing a sensual dance. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch of it. Right now it felt as we were the only ones here, the world around us wasn't even surrounding us.

"Holy shit! Is that Ash?!" I head a voice shout, we pulled apart and turned towards the voice. It was no other than James Sullivan or as he was called, Jimmy.

I sent him a small smile before turning to Chris who had a questioning look on his face.

"Remember what I told you about the people I used to hang out with when I lived here?" He nodded and I pointed discreetly towards Jimmy. "That's one of them."

Jimmy rushed towards me and as he did I noticed that the rest of the group was behind him looking shocked. He picked me up in a hug before twirling me around, then he set me down and gave me one, last normal I might add hug.

"Hey Jimmy" I smiled.

He looked like a kid in a candy store when he smiled.

"Where have you been?" he wondered then Matt decided to join in. "Yeah were have you been?"

"Hey guys" I waved awkwardly as Chris grabbed my other hand. They all said their hello's, I noticed that Brian and Michelle weren't here. Val came up to me and hugged me tightly, she had been one of my closest friends besides Brian. It really hurt me that I actually left but I did it because of what happened and in a way I don't regret it.

"Before I tell you, I just thought I might as well introduce my boyfriend Chris. Chris this is... the guys I told you about" I called as we all stepped aside so we weren't standing in the middle of the dancefloor.

"Hey aren't you Thor?!" Johnny suddenly burst out.

Chris scratched his neck before smiling, "Yeah".

We all walked over to the table where Becca and Laura were. There weren't enough chairs so I settled for Chris lap and he wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on my right shoulder.

"So, where have you been?" Zacky wondered.

"Yeah, you just disappeared all of the sudden and Brian told us he had no clue where you went" Johnny piped in.

"Really now? Well, I went to New York since I got a job offer there, a once in a life time offer. I've lived there the past 3 years now and I've been with Chris for a year and a half now." I explained as I touched up my lip-gloss.

They all nodded. I looked around and noticed that Gena had a cute pixie hair cut, Val was a brunette. Lacey and Leana weren't present for all I knew.

"Why did you just leave without telling us? You hurt us all by doing that" Val announced, my heart shattered a bit but now I realised Brian hadn't told them anything of what happened that day. It made me even more pissed at him.

"Brian hasn't told you?" I wondered they all shook their heads no.

"Well then, you might as well ask him now" I replied just after I spotted him walking in through the doors with Michelle, looking pissed.

The waiter we had earlier today came over and gave me another beer, we had told him earlier to keep'em coming. I took a sip of my beer as Brian and Michelle approached us. He said 'hey' to the guys, looking around and he froze as his eyes landed on me. I brushed it off and acted like nothing, after all I didn't know him any more. Chris must have noticed that I was acting a bit out of habit and asked me if that was him . I simply nodded. I had told Chris about everything in detail, even that I used to be in love with him but Chris knew that I only had my eyes on him now.

Brian must have gotten the idea and then went to grab a chair, sitting down next to Matt and Val who were sitting across us. Michelle sat in his lips and her eyes landed on me too, enough said she looked pissed.

"Shit!" Laura cursed. We all looked at her wondering what happened.

She saw us looking worried and she gave us a light smile before explaining, "Sorry... I just remembered that I forgot your birthday gift at my house."

I laughed and shook my head, drinking my beer. I felt eyes on me and I didn't take a genius to figure out who it was. My eyes met up with his and I simply raised an eyebrow at him before looking away again. I may act like a bitch but it wasn't as if he didn't deserve it.

"It's ok hun, I'm not leaving for a while especially after Chris present" I smiled.

"What do you mean?" Becca asked cautiously and I noted that the avenged guys were leaning closer.

"Her gift might have had involved something with a house in O.C" Chris told them and kissed my cheek. I smiled at him and pecked his thin lips. He seriously is too perfect.

"We are so having a house-warming party!" Jimmy shouted as he shot up out of his chair, flailing his arms like a crazy bird.

We all laughed at that and the night kept going as more drinks were delivered and more glares from Michelle was sent. It was nice being reunited with my friends, even though I could feel Brian watching my every move with a sad look in his eyes but I shrugged it off.

The more drinks we all ended up having, the drunker we got and the drunker I got even hornier. I was a touchy and feely drunk when I was out of my mind drunk, which I was now. Chris reached into his pocket and checked the time after I asked him, he informed that it was near 2 a.m.

"Maybe we should go home babe" I slurred as I sloppily kissed his jaw.

He agreed and we gave everyone our good byes before I cab picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. Earlier I had asked Becca to give me back the hotel key so that we wouldn't be locked out, Chris now had it in his pocket. The cab finally arrived and I scooted in with my hands still all over Chris.

--------------------------------------------------------

I grabbed Chris by his black shirt and pulled him into the hotel room. He pushed me up against a wall, smashing his lips onto mine. His large hands took hold of my hips. I kissed him hard and he kissed back just the same. The kisses were filled with passion and clearly love even though we did it roughly.

I started undoing the buttons of his shirt quickly until it was opened. My small hands caressed the hot and smooth skin. I pulled the rest of the shirt off of him. He unzipped my dress and it fell off my body, pooling around my feet till I stepped out of it.
Our lips stayed together while we finished undressing each other. I kicked of the heels while I undid his belt. When we finally were in our underwear he grabbed my hips lifting me up, allowing me to wrap my legs around his waist. I moaned a bit into his mouth when I felt his erection pressed against the fabric of my panties. Whilst kissing his neck, trailing up to his jawline he pushed us down onto the bed. He undid the clasps on the back of my bra before his hands groped the sensitive flesh roughly. Our lips once again locked together.

My fingers wrapped around the soft blond curls of his hair and tugged on it, causing him to groan into my mouth. I started getting impatient with him. I played with the elastic waist of his boxers, gently snapping it against him. His hands slipped into the thin fabric and started caressing my aching sex.

He drew me closer to him, before he pushed two fingers into me. I gasped and groaned, reclining my head into the soft mattress. He moved them in and out slowly, thumb rubbing my clit. My hips lifted and bucked against him, I was too aroused to undergo foreplay. He seemed to notice that and pulled down his boxers in a swift motion. I moaned at the sight of his erection. He was bigger than average, much larger, in both length and girth. Like I’ve said, I was very lucky and I knew it.

His fingers ripped the damp and thin fabric of my body, just as he pushed himself into me hard. I cursed and grabbed onto his shoulders. He started slow and deep thrusts into me, letting me get use to his size.

I moaned as he sped up his tempo, my hips lifting a bit. He rocked his hips into me, getting a solid pace which perfect. For each deep push I moaned, gripping onto his shoulders tighter. His hands gripped my hips and I could feel his fingers digging into my flesh as he kept going. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed his chest.

He plunged deeper and I cried out against his shoulder when he hit that bundle of sensitive nerves. He did it again and my back arched, my mouth parting so that small mewls and whimpers could be heard. I felt a thin layer of sweat coat my forehead. He picked up his pace and the way he was going he’d have me begging to come undone anytime soon.

A hot white ball of pleasure was already forming and knotting in the pit of my stomach, the pressure rising with each one of his thrusts. The soft sound of skin smacking skin boomed in the room, followed by our own breathy pants and moans. He lowered his mouth to my naked chest and he softly kissed each erect nub, before taking one his mouth. I whimpered and my fingers ran through his long hair as he gave each nipple special attention.

Our breathing was heavy and I felt his warm breath against my chest. My hips started rocking against his, matching his reasonably fast pace and it increased the feeling, making him grunt and grab a handful of my hair tightly right near the root, holding me down to the bed as he started to pound into me. I squeaked out loudly and started writhing under him

He sported a cocky smirk on his face and groaned when my walls clenched around him slightly. He lifted my right leg over his shoulder, whcih made him go deeper and hit sensitive nerves as he started his hard and rough rhythm once again. He kept his firm grip on my hair as he slammed into me mercilessly. I was moaning and unable to move from all the pleasure he was inflicting on my body.

“Oh, god baby…” I whimpered out, my back arching as he hit my G-spot.

My hips bucked hard against him. He pulled me closer to him, going balls deep and kept hitting that one spot over and over. I was trembling from the overwhelming amount of pleasure that flowed through my petite body. He growled lowly, closing his eyes for a moment. He gripped my hair a bit tighter and leaned forward more, pushing my leg with him to get an even deeper spot. His other hand slipped between our two bodies, where he started rubbing my clit roughly.

My mouth fell open and I felt the hot white ball in my stomach was aching to be released as he was building up the pressure to the point where I could barely handle it anymore. His movements started to become jerky and I knew he was reaching his own peak. He continued rubbing the small nerve.

“Fuck! Chris!” I moaned loudly, my nails raking down his back, leaving marks behind.

He slammed his cock into me three more times and I cried out in ecstasy as I came undone. My small body convulsed under him and I could feel my thighs trembling around. He grunted as he rode out my orgasm, intensifying it, until he came inside me. I deflated under him and was breathing hard as he slowed his pushes until he stopped. He moved my leg from his shoulder and it ached, before he lay on top of me, the two of us breathing hard with our chests rising and falling vastly together. He released the grip he had on my hair and kissed me on the lips. He slowly pulled out of me and rolled onto the other side of the large bed.

He draped his arm over my waist and pulled me closer. My breathing calmed down as he ran his fingers through my hair.

“I love you baby” I murmured feeling the effects of being drunk as I lay my head on his chest, hearing his heart thump loudly.

“I love you too.”

Within the next minute we both feel asleep as we both were tired.
