A Little Party Never Killed Nobody

"I'm sorry, Edith is very..." I see Cate searching for a word and axidantly blurt out "Nosy!?" (yk like in nosy bitch) . It sounds a lot harsher than expected but as I said, I'm bad with kids. The look on her face says it all. I know that's not how you're supposed to talk about your girlfriend's daughter but I couldn't help it.

We stay silent for a sec until I speak" I don't think this was a good Idea... I'm sorry Cate. I'm gonna leave. " I know I shouldn't expect her to hold me back or tell me to stay, but it's also weird that she doesn't...

Anyways. I arrive home. I texted with Dashiell and he apologized a thousand times. I wasn't mad at him, he just got exited to see his dad.

Today is the day, we'll tonight is hopefully gonna be the night cause I'm having my birthday party. My birthday is only tomorrow, but I find it so fun to party into the night. I'm king of exited. A lot of people are coming so I got to get all my stuff out of reach so it doesn't get no ked over.

It took me 3 hours to clean and prepare which was quite alright. The day went by and at 8 pm I was done with everything. I was wearing my knew amazing suit (Google Cate blanchett or Zendaya in suits for inspiration). And I looked hot, not to brag or sound obnoxious but I did.

Of course now I had nothing to do and was starting to overthing what happened at cates... Ugh I didn't even really knew what to think about it. We for sure hadn't had any contact since. What does that mean? Idk.

Thankfully a group of people arrived at 9:30pm and so the party was slowly starting. Dashiell did too but I didn't get to see who brought him. We were having a lot of fun drinking, dancing, laughing, playing and people making out. It was weird cause normally I was one of them but know I had someone and I couldn't just fool around with girls anymore. But to be honest I didn't miss is that much.

Midnight was approaching and the party now was like in a club. 21. I made it till 21. I'm kind of proud of myself. I didn't always think I would live that long after my parents passed.
It was the big moment. Everyone gathered around me and they were counting down like for New Year. 3,2,1 "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." they all sang together and I felt genuine happiness in that moment. I would have been on top of the world if Cate was here but since I knew the situation it didn't stop me from being so overly happy.

I packed out my presents and they were amazing. Until I got to Dashiell. "a ticket to France and back? I mean thank you very much honey but that's a lot..." I said a bit confused. "yeah well I was hoping this would make up for the fact that I didn't tell you I was leaving in 3 weeks..." he answered.

"What? Where are you going?" I was shocked. "I'm finishing my year at an English school in Germany and then I will do work and travel around Europe." whaaaat?!

"Why didn't you tell me?! I mean I'm happy for you that you're doing this, but why did you wait so long to tell me????" that was kind of sad actually that he was leaving.

"I only got the okay from the school last week so I was not sure and I didn't want to say anything if it wasn't going to work." well at least he had an acceptable excuse.
Ugh this sucked... But I didn't want to let it ruin my night.

I went on having a blast at my own party as the others were, until I got a text from Cate. Was I really willing to maybe ruin this night if she was going to want to talk about today... Well yesterday since it's 2am. Wait. Why would she text me at 2 am? I open it. It says she's outside waiting for me. Weird...

I make my way out taking care that nobody sees me, especially not Dashiell. She's leaning on her car and even though I can only see her back I have to think hot! And she's... smoking?

"since when do you smoke?" I surprise her. She exhales and looks at me. She bites her lip. Man this women is amazing.

"you look very good for being this old" she jokes referring to my birthday I believe. "happy birthday sweetheart" she says as she slowly makes her way towards me and slides her arms around my neck. She gently and slowly places a kiss on my lips. Our tongues collide as we sink into it and I can taste the cigarette smoke. My arms are snacked around her as I am now the one leaning on the car.

She leans back to get some space and takes another drag. "thank you. And as hot as I find you smoking I hope this is not a habit of yours" I say watching every movement she does as if my eyes were glued on her.

"you're not gonna tell me that you never smoke?" she answers looking me in the eye.
"well I do" "See." she cuts me. "but, I only smoke after sex or on party's" I finish.
"well I might be able to help you on the first part if you want to join me" she smirks. Since when is she so confident? I mean I'm all for it. It suits her and it's hot but still.

She's looking past me "Cate?" her gaze shifts onto my face "mhm?" "did you drink? Or smoke something?" I ask smiling.

"What? No. ... Well I might have had one or two glasses of wine" ah okay that makes more sence. I chuckle.

"you're cute honey." I was actually wondering  why she was not mentioning what had happened. It's not that big of a deal but I was waiting for a reaction. Maybe tomorrow.

"come" she says taking my hand and leading me to the back of her car. She opens the door and I see that the seat backs are leaned back halfway.
"are you trying to kidnap me?" I chuckle.
She still gets me in and I sitt.

She gets on my lap and closes the door.
"mhhhm I definitely like where this is going" I say before I'm met with her super soft lips.
