I'm With You. ~ Elizabeth Olsen

Birthday.

Y/N POV
I wipe my face with a towel when the song finishes and take a few deep breaths. Scarlett called a rehearsal with the band this weekend on my birthday, which is so rude. We've been playing for at least 2 hours now and my shoulder is starting to get sore.

"Alright, that was awesome. We have our first gig at the speakeasy next Saturday to start us off, rehearsal next Friday beforehand." The band manager informs us and I make a face at the bassist who laughs. He's pretty cool. "You are free to go, have a great weekend everyone" She finishes and Scarlett turns to me.

"So party at your place tonight right?" she asks and I nod.

"Yeah, just a small get together. Maybe some cake. Rose is coming right?" I ask and she nods.

"Yup! She's very excited to give you your present even though I think it's more for her." She reveals and I laugh. I notice it's just us left in the rehearsal hall so I stand up as I roll out my shoulder and slide my sticks into my back pocket.

"Uh, Scarlett? I know it's like really early and we haven't even set a date yet, but would you like to um. Do you want to be my Best Woman?" I stumble over the words and sigh when I see the smirk on her face fade. "Uh, you can say no, it's okay." I add on.

"Wait, you're serious?" She asks and I nod slowly. "Me?" She points to her chest and I nod again. "Oh my god, yes. I'm so honored!" She squeals and brings me into a tight hug. My body relaxes and I sigh.

"Thank you." I say when she pulls away.

"You're bachelorette party is going to be wild, I already have ideas." She shares as we exit the building. I smile at the happiness I feel running through my veins and hug her goodbye when we have to part ways.

"Honey, I'm home!" I yell as I lock the door and bend down to pet smush who is trying to get my attention.

"Damn." I hear from behind me and shift to peek into the kitchen area. Lizzie has her head tilted with her eyes set on my butt as I bend down to give Smush some love. I blush and stand up straight to walk over to her. I invade her personal space quickly as her body turns to face me and her eyes look up into mine.

"You like what you see?" I say in a low tone, leaning my head to talk directly in her ear. I slide my hands onto her sides before one slides down to her butt. The small gasp that leaves her body makes me smirk. I let her take in the closeness of our bodies for a couple seconds. Before she can say anything I back up and turn to head into the bathroom and she stumbles forward slightly. "I'll be in the shower!" I call over my shoulder and laugh when I hear the patter of her feet running across the floor of the apartment as soon as I start the shower water.

The shower had to be quick since we have guests coming over so it's rough and messy but we get out and dressed in time to get food ready and to greet our first guests. Rose and Scarlett enter the apartment and I smile at the familiarity of the action. Rose runs over to squish between us on the couch and starts to ramble about her last day of school. We both listen attentively as Scarlett munches on the veggie and cheese platters set out on the dining room table.

"That sounds so exciting nugget!" I reply once she takes a breath.

"Of course our Rose got a special award!" Lizzie adds on and tickles her sides. I stand up to leave the two be and join Scarlett by the snacks. Our doorbell rings as I put a carrot in my mouth so I buzz them in. It's my girls from school and they are a mess of energy. They update me on students and other things I've missed as I organize their shoes at the door and I smile. They are the best. They greet Scarlett and settle in the living room with Lizzie. Rose gets up and runs to my side.

"What's up, bug?" I ask.

"I don't know them." She reminds me and I nod, running my fingers through her hair.
