**A few weeks later**

I grab the door handle and slam it shut. "Shhh." Someone murmurs from the front room. "She's coming shut up!" An other shushs. I squint into the dark front room, edging closer to it, extremely curious.

"Happy birthday!!" Everyone yells in unison, jumping out from every dark corner of the room. Even Minnie jumps out- ok Frank was holding her but still. I run over to Ray and throw my arms around him and plant lipstick marks all over his face. "Oh my god! Thank you!" I yell enthusiastically, hugging everyone in turn. And when I say everyone was there I mean it; Hayley, Billie, Bert, Jeph, Margot, Amor, Raine, Mikey, Frank, Gerard, Bob, Andy, Trè and Mike.

"Excuse me bitch wheres my hello?" Bert questions. "As if I would leave you out you crack head." I grin letting go of Jeph and start sassily walking over to Bert. "Hey you freakazoid. I dont want to see any weed tonight though, that shit stinks." He mumbles something under his breathe but I dismiss it and go sit next to Margot and Mikey whom was talking amongst themselves about something.

"Hi you two!! How are you both doing?" Mikey looks at me and gives me the look and I shake my head disapointedly. Clearly Margot hasnt noticed my presence and continues talking to Mikey, spinning her gold ring around her finger.

I get up sighing to myself and hug Ray from behind, cutting him off mid sentence. "Hey gorgeous are you alright?" He asks turning his attention to me. "I'm ecstatic! Like I'm so happy right now I could burst. Thank you so much!" I boom hugging him again. "Also would both of you like a drink?" I ask nodding to Trè. "Yes please! Its such a shame you missed the gig the other week Viv, it was really fun to play! However I did fall off my stool but that doesn't surprise me with the amount of jumping I do... for a drummer." He laughs. "How does that even work? Do you do it mid song or what?" Ray intrigues, clearly mesmerised by Trè.

I put my hand up to signal one minute and glide over to the kitchen to grab a couple of beers. "Hey Vee, how are you? We haven't talked in a month or so now." A familiar says softly, I try to work out the persons voice but give up and turn around to see Andy. "Oh hi, sorry you made me jump! I'm so much better now since we last talked, no correlation. I'm with Ray now and we're actually really happy and I'm just head over heals for him like I got struck by lighting- I'm talking to much aren't I? Anyway how are you?" My face grows a light pink with a wide grin on my face just thinking about Ray.

"You two seem very cute together, I knew something would happen between you when he came to the hotel at the drop of a hat. It was very cute, everyone agrees with me. So do you love him? Have you even thought about the L word?" Andy asks with real curiosity, he sits down on the stool that was tucked underneath kitchens island. "We haven't said it yet, we're not even 'official' yet, which is sort of upsetting because I grow closer to him everyday, like most of the time I think there's a high chance of him saying it but he won't do it but he says it to Minnie! Its fucking annoying because all I want to do is say I love him and I can see us ten years down the line." I admit sitting beside Andy.

"Vee..." Rays voice suddenly chimes in. My eyes bulge out of my head like in a cartoon. Shit.

"I will leave you both to erm, talk." Andy excuses himself politely, taking his drink with him. I watch Andy leave, doing my best to not meet Rays eye contact. "Did you mean that?" He blurts. "Like honestly?" Shit shit shit shit shit shit. I look straight at the beer still not answering. "Velvet?" I take a long sip out of my beer. Its not strong enough for this kind of situation. I need some whisky.

I finally look up, extremely embarrassed, like of course he had to hear that conversation out of all them buzzing in our quaint apartment. He had made his way to my stool and was watching me with a grin tattooed on his face, his eyes sparkling and shining more than normal. "I love you Vee, I'm sorry its taken me this long to tell you, its just-" He begins but I cut him off by kissing him, tears are pouring down my face, but I don't even attempt to hide it. "I love you too Raymond Toro- Ortiz." I stutter, becoming dizzy off the excitement and electric between us.
