His Only Savior | #Wattys2019

~10~

            The after party was already in full swing when Sean parked his truck out front. "You ready?"

            "Definitely, are you?"

            "I have you by my side so, yes," he smiled before climbing out of the truck. Following his lead, I walked around the back of it to meet him. I had to jump back when a black Harley sped passed nearly hitting me. "What the fuck man?"

            Sean marched over towards Isaac, but I was able to reach him before he could cause a scene. "Let it go, he isn't worth it." I gave him a genuine smile, which caused the tension in his muscles to relax. "Now can we go get a drink?"

            "Yes," he smiled as he placed his hands on my shoulders kissing my forehead tenderly. "I hope you know how sorry I am for being a dick."

            "I forgive you," I tipped my head enough so that our lips could meet for a brief moment. "Now come on," I pulled away abruptly, dragging him inside behind me. Ignoring Isaac's prying eyes as we disappeared into the home.

            Sean spotted an open spot on the couch and quickly swooped in on it for us, "Stay right here so we don't lose the spot while I go get us drinks. Do you know what you want?"

            "Can you get me a Smirnoff ice? Max said he was bringing a huge case for the girls."

            "Sure babe," he leaned down to kiss me goodbye. "I'll be back."

            He disappeared into the mass of people standing around drinking and talking. The front door opened and I glanced over hopeful it was Becca with Charles but to my dismay it was Isaac with Brittany clinging to his back like a monkey. Sinking into the couch while my stomach sunk even further. I needed more than a few drinks if I was going to make it through the night.

            Sean made his way over with a Guinness beer for himself and a Smirnoff Screwdriver for me. "Oh, how I love you!" Snatching the bottle from him I twisted off the cap and chugged half the bottle without taking a single breath of air.

            "Someone's eager," he teased as he wiped away a dripple that had found its way to my chin. "I saw Max by the way, he wanted to know if you would come play a round of beer pong with him. He said he has always wanted to play with you, but you didn't start drinking until this year." He chuckled as he placed his arm around my shoulders.

           Pretending to think it over, I placed my finger over my lips. "Hmm, I don't know. I suppose it could be fun."

            "Oh, come on you know you want to," he poked my tummy playfully.

            "You're right I do!" As I jumped to my feet, I pulled him up with me and hurried into the room with the table. "Max!"

            "Yes, my girl is playing!" He tackled me with a hug, "Sorry Sean but she's on my team."

            Sean scanned the room until he spotted Isaac standing with Brittany in the corner of the room, a devious smile crossing his lips. "Hey Holland, come be my partner."

            Isaac glanced around the table, before finally nodding. "Yeah alright."

            Max smiled, "Okay so tonight we are going to have some fun, when you have to drink you also have to take off a single article of clothing."

            "If you wanted to see me naked Max all you had to do was ask," Sean winked.

            "No, I kind of want to lose so I can see Emily naked," he bumped me playfully.
