Cupid Comes Home

Ryder

"So where does everyone want to go?" i ask looking for suggestions
"Well i want real food not shit thats been covered in pink an glitter i dont feel like shitting out a rainbow later." Sky says
"i know just the place." i say as i lead them out an around Downtown Boston to The Black Rose pub 
As were walking down to the pub Sky an Luca are hand in hand as they walk ahead of us, I brought Luca back with me a few times before he met Sky so im not worried about them getting lost but i keep glancing back over my shoulder at Ivy, she look so pretty in that red dress of hers showing off all of her curves, she walking with some of the guys an some of them keep falling back an start to watch her walk, seeing how they keep eyeing her up an patting each other on the chest an pointing an making that oh yea id tap that face my blood starts to boil, i mean really this is one of your brothers sister have some respect its not like you cant get any with a snap of your fingers, you dont have to go after her.
As we pile into the pub theirs some traditional irish pub music playing softly in the background, i start to regain some composure as they start too break away form her an she's sitting alone on a couch scrolling threw her phone
When i came home on a break after turning 21 some friends had brought Luca an I here to celebrate.
I walk up to the bar an order a round of shots it takes a while but as soon as i have the trays in hand an turn around i can see Hilt sitting with Ivy actually a lot of guys are, this isn't cool, i walk over an practically slam the try of drinks on the table taking one for myself an sitting in the chair across from the table an i hope to god that no one can see me shooting daggers his way
Sky an Luca are off in their own world again, they are an unique couple i mean their dating when their in town but single any other time but they have a spark, a spark that Mindy an i dont have, maybe at one point in time we did but not anymore.
"So how is a gorgeous woman such as yourself still single?"  Hilt says to her as he run his finger up her arm lucky his other hand is on his drink or else he wouldn't be able to go back with us id chop them off 
"well, i just haven't found the right guy." she says an takes a shot completely ignoring his feeble attempts to impress her, i get up an move to the other side of the bar i cant keep watching this horrible display of mating.
As i sit in the leather chair i have a nice view of the whole place and but i cant help but this that Hilt is an idiot i could have told him that wont work, ask her abut her goals, what she wants to do in life ask her something that involves using brain cells i mean come on she's more than just beauty she has a brain I mean...wait what the hell an i doing am i seriously jealous of them? i mean first i get angry that she's walking in a group of guys that keep ogling her an now im getting upset that their are trying to talk to her i mean she's single an im getting married in the morning but yet here i am getting uptight about these guys flirting with her its not like she's not mine, i mean sure we had a connection but theirs nothing i can do about it.
As i look around Sky is sitting in Lucas lap an its just weird i know sky but she just doesn't seem like that kind of girl but i just tell by their looks that their in love with each other even tho neither one will say it i can see it, Mindy use to do that she use to not be able to keep her hands off me but all that changed, i mean its only been in the last couple of years this has happened after my first year when i would come home we would spend the while day an night together an every year after that it became less an less.
I get she has the wedding planing stuff but she could have taken a night off an come out with us tonight but she wanted to stay at the hotel an go to the spa thats cool but i would have loved to be able to hold her an kiss her an just be with her the night before our wedding, i mean after the wedding i only get a week to be with her an in total we have only spent a collective of maybe 10 hours together maybe just maybe and i cant belive im thinking this but maybe we shouldn't be getting married.
I mean after i actually sat down an had time to think about it for more than a second before im getting pulled this way an that way Mindy an i were not who we use to be were different now.
I mean Luca an i have best fiends since boot camp an we got lucky to be drafted in to the same company so i was their post Sky an im here now an i see how he's grown before he would stick it in anything woman that would let him but now he's a bit more selective.
i mean he's not Hugh Hefner by any means he doesn't bed woman after woman every night but one here or their but i always know when the mission is almost over because he starts to back off an gets into New York Luca the one who's about to go see his city girl, the one who video chats with her every chance he gets the one that has a smile plastered on his face after every visit, we know when he was with sky because he's got that shit eating grin in his face that he wears when he's walking up the tarmac to the chopper an that grin wont leave for days even after we tease him with the song New York New York by Frank Sinatra.
Sky on the other hand i haven't known that long but form what i gathered she's crazy about him, i mean from what Ivy told me the other night as long as its not family or work related she's puts everything on the back burner an spends as much time as she can with him in the limited time they have, i guess what im saying is that i wish Mindy an i had a fraction of the passion they have for each other but i could be gone for a year an i would get the same welcome home as i would get as if i was gone for a few months.
