I lay my head down on the slightly wet counter as the bartender placed another shot of Casamigos tequila beside me. I down it in a hurry not caring and place my forehead on the counter again and close my eyes.
Bad mistake.
I feel like I'm traveling in 20 different dimensions and I open my eyes quickly so I don't puke everywhere from the dizziness and disarray.
I honestly can't remember how many shots I've had, all I told the bartender was keep them coming. I know that I lost count at five, not that I really give a shit anyway. I feel like I've been here for a century.
Work was just not going in my favor today. My boss steady over-looks me while I work harder than anyone in the building. He also knows that I've been at the company two years longer than anyone else.
Where is my second quarter raise you ask? It went to his secretary that he's fucking banging in his office instead of being a faithful husband to his wife at home.
I don't get it. I need a raise so I'm able to support myself, the love of my life, and raise a god damn farm at the house. I'm always on time and I leave well after dark. I want nothing but to tell my boss the hell off but I need a job.
I'm there so much to the point where my girlfriend, my family and above all else, I hate it. She even offers to have me work for her, but I time and time again decline because I don't want everyone to talk. The last thing I need is her fans and random-ass people in our business more than they already are.
I've seen comments already from them about how I'm with her for the fame and to mooch off of her. Bro. Get a life and a job.
I have my own but still nothing I do is ever good enough for her in their eyes, but man does she fucking love me. I love her too a lot more than they even know. I try so hard to people-please them though because honestly that's who I am. No matter how much it bothers me to the core how they say whatever they want about me.
People always have a damn opinion. Sometimes people just keep your fucking mouth shut about shit they have no business in or especially if they don't know them personally.
I needed relief so that's why I'm here and not at home complaining to my gorgeous lover about everything because she's heard it nearly everyday. I just want to save her the headache and I don't want to be annoying either.
I feel my phone vibrate rapidly in my pocket so I pick my head up slowly, so I don't get sick and pull out my phone to see a text from my girl.

the fucking bar...jesus y/n i'm coming to get you don't do anything else
I nod to absolutely nobody like she was here right now, looking a fucking idiot. I proceed to then the tap at the counter to signal the bartender to pour me another in which he should've cut me off at this point but he still hands it to me with a chuckle.
I down it and stand up from the bar to go use the restroom because the liquor makes me piss every thirty minutes. I also need a smoke because once a sip of liquid sin hit my lips, it makes me want to smoke an entire pack of cigarettes. In which, I forgot had until now.
Thank god.
I stumble to the restroom somewhat bopping my head to the new pop someone started playing out of the touch tunes jukebox in the corner. I was holding onto every surface in the building so I wouldn't bust my ass walking into the restroom. I was DEFINITELY feeling myself in the bathroom mirror right now though and I had not a care in the world at this moment. I was lost in the sauce. I forgot why I was even here.
"Oh....yeahhhh." I walk into the stall and do my business laughing at myself out loud.
I wash my hands and somehow make it out to the dance floor faintly hearing one of my favorite new tracks...
Just as I'm getting my groove on to this jam, I notice my girlfriend walk in the front door some near wide-eyed and whispering. She immediately went to the bar to talk with the bartender and it's like my world suddenly stops. I throw my head back putting my hands in the air as I sway my hips to the beat.
I lean my head up and just watch her still talking making me a little jealous, not going to lie. She is mine back the fuck off.
God, how is she even mine? She's a fucking goddess, I tell you.
She looks so fine and I'm gonna be taking her home...wait more like she's dragging my ass home literally.
I get lost in the music again but still keeping my sight glued to her. She finally senses my stare from across the room and almost immediately turns her attention and sight onto me.
The music vibrates my soul like I could feel it through my entire body as it flows with the beat. She then begins closing the distance between us causing everyone and I mean EVERYONE in the bar to do a double-take at her some pulling out their phones because yes, she's Ariana Grande.
none of you are seeing shit. she's really here.
"Babyyy!!!" I yell out over the music as she finally gets to me and I near about fall into her. I let out a loud giggle covering my mouth.
"I took care of your tab by the way. The guy told me he served you 13 shots, straight." She says rolling her eyes, but still smiling at me as she wraps her arms around my neck to keep my drunk ass from falling over.
"B-baby you didn't have t-tooo. I could've gotten it." I slurred wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her close to me and digging my face into her neck.
"Let's go home, my love. I've missed you all day and I just want to hold you. I don't want to give people a show." She whispers in my ear and kisses my earlobe followed by my cheek.
That causes me to grin from ear-to-ear as I agree with a nod, pulling away from me just to grab my hand and drags me outside to the car.
She was only worried about me and no one else. No matter who shouted her name and put their phone in her face. She wanted me safe and in her company. I couldn't agree more.
