i met you in the dark you lit me up
you made me feel as though i was enough
"I'm here every night and I have never seen you here. What's your name, new girl?" I asked the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my entire life.
"I'm not that easy, and you are?" She replied. "Bryce. Next round is on me." I said not giving her an option.
we danced the night away, we drank too much
i held you hair back when
you were throwing up
A few rounds later this girl was thrown. "Come dance with me." She said standing up and pulling me to the middle of the bar. You heard me right. Bar. Not club. Really low music playing and absolutely no one dancing.
I went along with it though. The old man I usually talk to while I'm in here every night smiled at us. He had never seen me happy before.
Her arms around my neck and her head on my chest while my arms lightly held her waist as we swayed back and forth to the soft music.
About 10 minutes later she pushed off of me and ran to the bathroom. I didn't go into the women's bathroom it's one of those bathrooms for one person.
I followed her and held her hair while she threw up almost everything. When she was finished she went to go wash her face in the sink and gargle some water.
then you smiled over your shoulder
for a minute, i was stone cold sober
i pulled you closer to my chest
and you asked me to stay over
i said, i already told you
i think that you should get some rest
I held her waist and stared at her adoringly in the mirror. She smiled and snaked my arms all the way around her hugging her from behind.
"You wanna come home with me?" She asked in a slight whisper. "I'll come home with you to make sure you're gonna be okay." I answered.
This girl is like someone I've never even dreamt about. I don't want to ruin my chance with her by making her a girl I slept with from a bar.
"Do I get to know your name yet?" I asked. "Addison. My name is Addison." She answered. "We'll Addison don't get used to me calling you that cause pretty soon I'll be calling you baby." She giggled at my response and then we went to go collect our things.
I paid off both our tabs and we got a cab back to her house.
As soon as we got to the house she thanked the taxi driver and payed even though I insisted that I pay, but when we got in the house she locked the door and played with my fingers before taking my hand and walking upstairs.
"Before we do anything. Let me brush my teeth. I have barf breath." She said still clearly drunk.
She brushed her teeth and then came up to me and kissed me. "I really like you and I don't want this to be a one off so tonight we just chill out and I'll take you on a real date tomorrow. I said once she pulled away from the kiss.
She smiled up at me and then brought me to her drawers. She got out a pair of sweatpants that were clearly too big for her.
"They were my brothers. I figured you'd wanna get comfy." She offered. I took the sweatpants and changed right there in front of her. Spoiler Alert: I wasn't wearing briefs.
"Like what you saw, baby?" I teased when I saw her red face after tying the string. "And that was soft, imagine what it would look like hard." She giggled and pulled out sweats for her and a cropped tank top.
She went over by the bed and took off her shirt and black lace bra facing away from me so all I saw was her bare back. Same for her pants I saw she was wearing a black lace thong but I don't want to be disrespectful so I turned the other way while she changed into her bottoms.
When she was done she hugged me from behind laying her head on the middle of my back. I hadn't noticed how tiny she was.
"Do you want to get to know each other now or do you want to just lay down and watch a movie?" I asked putting my hands over hers.
"I think getting to know each other is reserved for the first date." She answered pulling by my hand to the bed to lay down.
She laid me on top of her so my head would lay on her chest while she would lightly scratch my back with her perfectly pointed acrylic nails. Within minutes we both fell asleep.
i'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
i'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
and i'll take the kids to school
wave them goodbye
and i'll thank my luck stars for that night
4 years later me and Addison have boy girl twins. Brock Anthony and Alexandria Caroline. We may have not had sex on the first night but after the first date there was definitely a lot of bulky up sexual tension from all the teasing and that's how we have two four year olds after 4 years of dating.
Every morning I wake up and get them ready for school while I let Addi sleep. After I get them ready I make breakfast and while the kids are eating I make coffee and bring it to her on a tray for breakfast in bed. Today was a special day. Normally I would wake her up with coffee and kiss her head to tell her breakfast is ready.
"Good morning Gorgeous. Eat up." She thanked me for the special breakfast and then it came time to bring the babies to school.
"Lexie, Rocky, come say bye to Mommy!" I called to them from the room. They both came running in in their school uniforms and each gave Addison a hug and a kiss.
I dropped them off and waved to them as they walked backwards into their classrooms waving back.
All this love and privilege just from meeting a beautiful girl in a shitty bar.
Later that night we were all at Addison's parents house with her 4 siblings. Kaedyn and Jadelynn, who are also boy girl twins. Enzo and Lucas who are her little brothers. Addi is the middle child of 5.
when you looked over your shoulder
for a minute, i forget that i'm older
i wanna dance with you right now
oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
you make me feel this was somehow
"Excuse me, I would like to say something." I called everyone's attention. "A toast, to the girl I love most, in the whole wide world." I said quoting little rascals.
"Is it me, Daddy?!" Lexie called from across the table. "Sorry, Babygirl, this ones for Mommy." I told her.
I took Addison's hand and guided her out of her chair in front of everyone in the room.
"Addi. I love you. I'm so in love you you and I hope you know. Baby, the love we have is way more then worth it's weight in gold. Look how far we've come. We have two beautiful babies. We're living together. Four of the most amazing years of my life. And I want to stay with you until we're grey and old. I want to live with you. Even when we're ghosts. Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most. So I'm asking you. Addison Rae Easterling. Will you marry me?" I finished by getting on one knee and pulling out a ring that coasts more than my truck.
"Of course I'll marry you, you dork." She giggled crying and allowed me to slip the ring on her finger before pulling me into a kiss.
