Happily ever hookup. (Book #2)

33 "Give me a minute"

Emily's P.O.V

Candice's new club is bouncing by the time we get there a little after nine. It's beautifully decorated with stark white walls and Black leather booths. The bar itself is chrome and there's a big spiralling staircase leading up to an overhead balcony.

"This way please, Candice has reserved VIP seating for you upstairs."

"See, she's handy for somethings" Tara smiles taking the lead to follow the guy who's been ordered to serve us tonight.

Hunter and I roll our eyes. It's a good job that we have a section to ourselves. Tara and the babies safety comes first, although, I have a feeling Candice's reason for giving us this little slice of privilege was to show off more than anything.

When we make it up onto the private balcony, there's five bottles of champagne on the table chilling in ice buckets, the music is roaring and I have to shout to be heard by Hunter.

"It's nice" I say impressed by my surroundings.

Hunter just shrugs. I know he really couldn't be bothered to come tonight but I talked him into it and now he's brooding.

"Yeah" He replies sitting down on the extra large, black, leather sofa. I pull on the hem of my dress and copy his action, crossing my legs one over the other.

"Can I get you any drinks"

"Shots all around for these three" Tara gestures to us. "I'll have an iced tea please" she says and the man scurries away to retrieve our drinks.

I laugh because only Tara could order an iced tea in a swanky club and get away with it.

She looks beautiful, sporting a little bump where her babies are cooking nicely. She's went more casual with jeans and small heels with a floaty blush pink top, where as I went daring in a little black strapless dress and silver heels with a clutch purse to match. I feel incredible but Hunters mood is slowly dragging me down.

"What is up with you?"

"I'm just tired Emily, I told you I didn't want to come. You could have came with Tara and Devon, you know?"

"Well excuse me for wanting to spend time with my fiance" I say, attitude seeping through my words.

"I'm sorry" Hunter says with a sigh "I want to spend time with you too. I'm just pissed off that I have to leave again tomorrow."

"So you should be"

"Emil-"

"I'm joking" I prod at his side making a small smile appear at the corner of his mouth. "Besides what do you have to be bummed about? I'm coming with you"

"You're what?" His head snaps up to me and I smile as I lean in closer to him.

"I'm coming with you, Hunter. Being here, it was easier for my dad, I wanted to be here for him." I kiss his cheek and feel him visibly relax under my touch. "Now, I want to be wherever you are."

"And I want you with me" His smile is blinding and I laugh leaning into kiss him hard. "I fucking love you Squirt"

I laugh against his mouth "I love you too" I say. "I need to sort out some things here first with my dads will and stuff but before you know it, I'll be by your side in NY city"

"We need to hunt for a decent apartment. That shit hole I'm living in isn't fit for you"

I laugh, I really don't care where we live, as long as Hunter's with me.

I kiss him again but it only lasts a second "Ew, get a room!" Tara exclaims and we both laugh as Devon pulls gagging faces.

"Does Tara know yet?" Hunter questions.
