thirty-six: perhaps a toast?
word count: 1304

My stomach churned as I stood in this elevator, completely unaware of what was coming next. Justin's hands were still shielding my vision, and Grace was insistent with her reassurance that I would like this surprise. Quite ironic considering she knows I'm not the biggest fan of surprises...

  Seconds later, the elevator sounded another ding and I could hear the doors open. It was eerie just how quiet it was as they led me out from the enclosed space. "I-I don't like this," I giggled nervously as I tried my best to blindly find my footing.

  We were now standing in what I assumed to be a hallway or maybe some sort of corridor. "You ready?" Justin asked giddily, still standing close behind me. The feeling of his body pressed into mine gave me comfort. And made me horny.

  I nodded from behind his hands with a bitten lip as I subtly swayed my ass against him. I sucked in a deep breath as he removed his hands, taking the opportunity to open them. Okay, I feel like I'm being edged here... The only thing I saw was a pair of double doors; closed.

  My face dropped to a playfully annoyed expression as I turned to look between Grace and Justin, "Really?" Unable to hold it in, they both took a moment to laugh. "O-Okay," Grace spoke through laughs, "Now!"

  She twisted the knobs in her hands and threw open both doors to reveal a room flooded with familiar faces. "Surprise!" partygoers shouted all at once. As I peered around the room in admiration, I spotted my parents standing to the side. I hadn't seen either of them since my signing celebration, which was almost four months ago.

I couldn't help but shriek as I rushed to both of them, hugging my dad first. "I'm so proud of you," my dad laughed in my ear as he held me tightly. "Oh, my turn," Momma scolded as she pried me from him and engulfed me herself. "Hi, my baby," Momma exclaimed as she rocked us back and forth. Once she released me from her grip, I turned to see Scooter standing beside me.

"You know we had to officially celebrate," he chuckled as he checked his watch, "We've got five minutes, people!" Smiling wide with tears kissing my eyes, I pulled Scooter in for a hug. "Thank you so much. I'm not the biggest fan of surprises, but I couldn't be happier," I sighed with joy.

"Don't thank me," he whispered before pulling away, "This was all Justin."

With my heart beating fast, I slowly turned around to see Justin standing in the same place as before. A sheepish smile was spread across his face as his hands were shyly stuffed in his pockets. Without a second thought, I swiftly made my way to him and found myself lost in his grip.

"You did all this?" I asked as I scanned his face. He pulled me to his chest before gently speaking into my ear, "You deserve nothing less. If I could make it possible, the entire world would be celebrating you tonight, Rylee." My heart felt so full hearing those words. I pressed my lips to his, feeling him eagerly kiss me back.

"Thank you," I cooed as I pulled away. His lips curved into the sweetest smile before he lowered close to my ear for only me to hear him, "Let's focus on having fun and celebrating, baby. You can thank me later."

With butterflies beginning to flutter in my stomach, and my pussy, I smiled widely before being ushered toward Scooter, Grace, and my parents. "Party people," Scooter addressed into a microphone, "Thanks for coming to celebrate the release of Rylee's new EP 'Skin to Skin'! We've got a couple of minutes before we start the countdown. You wanna say a few words?"

Turning to me, my eyes lit up with gratitude and nerves. "Uh, first of all," I began before being handed the microphone. "Thanks," I giggled before amplifying my previous statement.

"First of all, I wanna personally thank you all for coming out tonight. Words can't begin to describe how thankful I am for each and every one of you. Your support means more than anything. Some of you may know, but this really is such a dream come true. For as long as I can remember, I've always dreamed of making music for more than those closest to me to enjoy. Tonight, I get to achieve that goal. Uh, I'm gonna wrap this up cause I'm gonna start crying if I don't. Nonetheless, thank you. I'm eternally grateful."

The room filled with applause and loving words as I handed Scooter back the microphone. "Nicely said," he smiled down to me. I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, feeling my heart begin to race as Scooter asked if we were ready. I felt Justin get closer to me, placing his hands on my hips as he placed a quick kiss in the crook of my neck.

"You ready?" he giggled. I shook my head as I giggled nervously, "Yes and no." He laughed as his hands wrapped around to the front of my stomach. Scooter began counting down from thirty into the microphone and I eagerly peered between those standing up here with me. Dad and Momma were smiling with such pride and enthusiasm, Grace was basically bouncing on her feet, and the crowd of people in front of me were counting down with excited anticipation.

"I'm so proud of you, babygirl. You're a superstar," Justin assured next to my ear before placing his lips to my temple. I held his hands to me, feeling so utterly blessed in this moment. "Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" everyone shouted as the first track on my EP started playing through the speakers. Two women who were working bottle service popped off two bottles of champagne, shaking them and spewing them lightly onto the crowd.

I shrieked with joy as I couldn't help but jump up and down. I jumped around to face Justin, wrapping my arms around his neck and squealing excitedly as he cheered. I pulled away, seeing Grace rush to me before rocking me in an excited hug. It felt like one person after another began to hug me and congratulate me on my release.

"Let's party!" I squealed as everyone excitedly cheered. I was immediately handed one of the bottles of champagne and began to drink straight from the bottle. I joined the crowd and fully allowed myself to let loose. Thirty minutes had passed and Grace approached me.

"Did you see his post?" she asked into my ear over the music. Puzzled, I pulled away to look at her a little confused. "Check Instagram," she said with a smirk before continuing to dance with Kendall and Lori. I searched for my phone momentarily before finding it and opening the app.
