Bulletproof Love (Jaime Preciado)

Chapter 20

<the Christmas Party!!!>

"Ashley are you ready yet?" Jaime yells from downstairs.

"One second!" I say and finish my makeup. I am wearing a black sweater dress, red heels, and a red thin belt around my waist. My hair is curled and pinned back, with my makeup as a smokey eye with red lipstick.

I smile at my reflection and start making my way downstairs.

"I'm ready." I smile and everyones eyes shoot over to me. I look down in embarrassment and walk over to Jaime.

"Wow you look beautiful." He smiles. I blush and look up at him.

"Not too shabby yourself." He laughs.

"Really you look absolutely stunning." I smile and lean up to peck his lips.

"Thank you." he grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers as people start to arrive.

"Mama! Papa!" I exclaim as I see Mama and Papa Fuentes walking over to us.

"Hello Darling! You look beautiful!" Mama says and hugs us along with Papa.

"See? I'm not the only one who agrees." Jaime says and I laugh and roll my eyes.

"thank you." I smile at them.

"so when is the big day?" Mama asked us.

"we actually havent even started planning yet." I said and her mouth dropped.

"you have got to start planning! Tell you what, come over next week with whoever you want to help and you can start planning." She says and I smile.

"thank you mama. I will definatly call you about that." we talk a little bit more until people start taking with us and Jaime gets a few drinks and starts acting a bit drunk.

"Jaime, you're drunk." I say and he smirks then laughs.

"no, I'm not." he says casually.

"yes, you are." I laugh.

"I'm going to get more drinks." he says and stumbles away.

"get me one!"

"okay." he mumbles and walks over to the drinks.

"hi-ya Ashley!" Someone says and I turn around to see Alex.

"hey Alex, you're not drunk yet?" I ask with a laugh.

"no.. I'm the designated driver tonight." he grumbles and I bust out laughing.

"Jaime seems to have had a wee bit too much wine." He laughs and points over to Jaime who is at the drink table trying to pour some wine into two glasses but keeps spilling.

"oh gosh, hold on stay here, I'm going to help him really fast." I say and walk over to Jaime.

"here, let me do it." I say and try to take the wine bottle from him.

"no, I can get a drink for my lady." He says and takes the bottle back and tries to pour again but spills alitle.

"are you sure?" I laugh as he groans.

"yes." He says and finally pours two glasses. He sets the bottle down and hands me a glass.

"here you go my lady." he smirks.

"thank you very much." I say and kiss his cheek. I grab his arm and pull him back over to where Alex is standing and talking to Rian and Cassadee.

"I'm back, Mr. Jaime here couldn't get the wine into the glass." I say and they all laugh even Jaime.

"sissy?" I feel something tug on my dress and I look down to see Bella standing there.

"yes sweetie?"

"I'm tired." she says. I thought it is only 7:30?

"I'm tired too." Jaime groans. I look at the clock on the wall and it is 9:45. Damn.

"well, why don't you take Mr Jaime to our bedroom and get some Pajama's on and I will be up there later okay?" I ask and she nods. I give her Jaime's hand and she leads him up to our room.

"sorry about that." I laugh.

"it's okay." they all laugh. We talk until 11 until they have to leave.

"have a safe drive and thank you so much for coming!" I say and Hug all of ATL.

"you're welcome! Merry Christmas! we will see you in the morning." Alex says and kisses my head and they all leave. I stay out side until they drive to where I can't see them anymore and then walk back inside.

"holy shit this place is a mess." I mumble to myself and begin cleaning up so I can put all of the presents under the tree.

There is wine bottles, glass cups, and plates everywhere. I grab a big black trash bag and begin cleaning up the big mess around my house.
