Can't we go back ?

Chapter 25

Even the worlds strongest can have cold feet

After the embarrassing fiasco at the club, our "family", we went down to my apartment to catch up and have one last drink.
But Ace being his normal self he always wants more.

"So mate when's your bachelor party ?"

"No party for me ! I can't party like I used to."

"What did they call you ?"
Theo asked, he always wanted to encourage Ace to push for more drinks.

"People would call you something ?"
Tristan asked turning in his seat to face the two gents in the back .

"Not just something, a name, that every club knew about !"

"One time he challenged the bar tender to a drinking competition. If Ryder won the whole club would drink free for the rest of the night, but if he lost, he would have to pay the bill for everyone until the club closed that night."

I laugh as Theo tries to explain for Tristan.

"It was a simple bet and the bartender was already wasted and I was as sober as a brick."

"YOU WERE ACTING ?!"

"Why do you think I won the bet so easily ?"

"So then what did they call Ryder ?"

"The called him the Knife !"

"Why the knife ?"

"I sliced through the competition."

That was my line, I said it every time I would win.

I did have fun that time, drinking till we passed out, or staying out the whole night.

We get to my apartment, Estelar had some friends while she was there, and they were trying on bridal gowns.

At least Estelar wasn't in her wedding gown, because apperently if you see your wife to be in her wedding gown, it will bring you years of bad luck.

"Ryder ? What are you doing here ?"

"The lads thought maybe we could come here to chill, we didn't realize you would be here too."

"Ryder... who's your friend ?"

"Crystal ! Don't you dare !"

Estelar smacks her friend on the shoulder as everyone laughed.
Theo walked forward with his "player instincts" on full blast and greeted Estelar's friend...

"Why hello... I'm Theo."

"I'm Crystal..."

She began to laugh and blush as she stuck her hand out, he held it and raised it to his lips where he gently kissed it.

Ace went towards Zoe, another one of Estelar's friends, geez is it hit in your best friends, fiancé's friends night.
Tristan went home to go take care of his wife, apparently she was getting weird contractions and was starting to feel pain...

Later on the night, Estelar and I were in the kitchen going through wedding magazines while the others were flirting around and drinking wine.

"Why don't we match them up for the wedding ?"

"What about Tristan ?"

I asked her raising my eyebrow, and trying to focus more on the magazine than on what was going on around me.

"He can bring his wife."

"While she's pregnant ? You funny."

"Well then maybe you can ask your sister ?"

"And let her bring that pot head she calls a husband ? Never !"

"My Cousin ?"

"Is she in a relationship?"

"Yes."

"Then it's fine."

The groups that was in our lounge was starting to laugh at the conversation they were having,we both looked over our shoulder to see what was going on and when we turned over they were all kissing each other.

Theo spotted us looking, he frantically got up, fixed his clothes and said it was time they all headed home to get some rest, but the girls got up and said they would join them and share the cab fees.

After Ace left with Zoe, Estelar collapsed on the carpet in the lounge...

"FINALLY !"

"You okay ?"

"I CAN FINALLY SLEEP !!!"

We both laughed as I packed away the wine and started to wash the glasses. Estelar got up and walked behind me, hugging my waist, and hit my neck...

"Why don't we spend some quality time ?"

"Sounds like a plan !"

I turned around to kiss her, and we held onto each other as tight as we could of, without hurting the other person.

She kissed me hard, and with more passion than before, she held my hand and started to lead me to the bedroom...

Where our night had ended...
