I woke up in a apartment bed comfy and happy. Looking to her left to see a large lump left to me. Expecting it to be my fiancé Robbie she lifted the covers. Only to see to my shock was Dipper Pines!
With panic I quickly got up and found my clothes (that somehow managed to be across the room). I quickly put them on and tried remembering what happened.
I went inside the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of water and some medicine. Popping it in and drowning it I felt my head clear up. My thoughts traveled to last night, to when...this happened.

It all started during a party. I remembers drinking away with Wendy, Mabel, and a couple other people. It was my bachelorette party. Then everything went downhill when I had one too many and Mabel offered to call her brother. The next part came to my mind, crystal clear.
"Hey Mabel I got your call. What do you want me to do?" Dipper said as he walked into the party. He wore a brown coat with a wool shirt underneath it. His pine tree hat still stuck with him and while drunk I admitted he looked quite dashing.
"I know you weren't invited to Robbie's Bachelor party since he didn't know you were coming, but can you take Tambry home? I was going to take Wendy home." Mabel asked.
He looked deep in thought before shaking his head in a no. "Sorry Mabel, but Lee and Nate had something planned over there and they didn't want anyone crashing it."
Typical. I bet those two morons got some dancer or something. Anyways continuing my story. Dipper looked at me as I was trying not to fall on Wendy, who passed of during a drinking game with me.
"Here let me take her home with me." Mabel's expression was priceless as was Dipper's when he heard what he said.
"Nonono, not like that! I mean I'll take her to my place and let her sleep on my bed while I sleep on the couch. Besides I have some hangover medicine she might need afterwards." Well he planned ahead. Anyways I fast forward my thoughts to later.
My head was against a window and it smelled like a beach inside. Looking around I saw Dipper humming a small song as he drove. It sounded familiar until I began humming with him. For a second I saw that adorable little freeze he did as he looked at me.
I don't know why, but I never really saw Dipper without his hat and now that I did I can see he's grown up. I mean I knew that but I still saw the kind 12 year old I met some years ago.
"You're awake." Dipper said with a shaky breath. Obviously the man was nervous around me. I just remember laughing at something he said until we arrived. It was a normal sized apartment with a couple people living nearby. Dipper opened my door like a gentleman and helped me inside. My phone buzzed in my hand and I saw it was Robbie calling. Mostly because Panic At The Disco was playing. I lifted it up and answered.
"Hellolo!" I said in my wasted voice.
"See Lee, I told you she was hammered."
"Shut up Robbie and tell Nate that his dance is over." I freaking knew it. The phone gave away sounds of Lee shifting.
"Hey girl!" He said in his cheery voice.
"Are calling because you're wasted or thinking you were getting a booty call." I responded. Even drunk I can still tell if the boys are slammed.
"What no, no, no girl. I just need you to come here and give me some looooovin" He said.
I smiled since I was going to get a reaction from him. "How dare you talk to the bride that way." The sound of Lee giving away a sharp yelp, followed by hearing Robbie yell at him for splashing salsa all over him. I hung up and saw Dipper with blankets ready. He was laughing a lot and I just laughed with him.
"Another drunk call from Lee." Dipper said. I nodded and saw him sit next to me. I told him what Lee said and I guess that gardened another warm laugh from him. I admit it was nice.
Then I saw him help me up and get to the bedroom. While we were there I decided to start another conversation.
"Hey Dippy."
"Dippy?" He questioned.
"You're a n*hic* guy. Why aren't you coming with a date? With someone like Wendy or that North CificaWest." Geez, I butchered that name up.
Dipper shrugged and opened the door. "I never had the time to get one. Pacifica's working her new company and Wendy is with someone else." I shrugged in agreement and entered the room. The smell of water and Irish spring entered my nostrils. It was a nice fragrance.
"I could hook you up with one of the bridesmaid." I said as he laid me down on the soft mattress. He sits down next to me and tries to get me comfortable. I don't know why, but I enjoyed the sight of him more than I ever had in my life.
Feeling bold I put my hand on his cheek and decided to push out a few more words. "You're very cute. I wonder what all the girls are missing." I said as a joke. But for some reason my head leaned forward and got Dipper off guard.
The taste of alcohol (probably me) and minty toothpaste (definitely him) was a weird, but strangely delicious mixture. I don't know what happened next, but I remember Dipper looking down on me with what some people assumed lust. However I saw something different, there was lust, but I also found love underneath.
Then the tongue war between us started. And even drunk I can put that as one of the best things I've experienced. I could've easily say it wasn't worth it, but no it was. I'm guessing a couple minutes later I know what happens next. The worst thing: sleeping with the man your fiancé started tolerating as a friend. And enjoying every moment of it. I love Robbie I really do, but there was something about the former kid that draws towards him. Then I remember something the scariest thing from last night.
Dipper held me in his arms and it was so warm. And after having what we had it, we were understandably tired. Before I fell asleep several words could be heard followed by one more deep kiss.
"Love...Tambry...I...ways had." Taking context clues I assumed the words were, "I love you Tambry. I always had." My heart feels like it's fluttering because of this. The night feels like the passion was on. All because I said a small joke it became this. The worst thing to happen and I let it. I feel sick, but healthy. Sad, but happy. Confused, but relived. I can't pinpoint what's wrong.

Feeling slightly better I walk towards the door and put my hand on the door knob. I bit my lip as I twisted it, but before I could open it there was a small cough. I turned around to see Dipper in pajama pants and a t-shirt. He had a glass of juice with him and his hair was a mess.
"So you're leaving. Just like that." A voice laced with sadness. I swallow nervously as I look at him. He had an understanding look on his face, however a pained face could be seen through the cracks.
"Um, yeah. Look I know you think you, um, you know. But I'm an engaged woman and I can't just leave Robbie. I mean I could, but..." I'm a stuttering mess.
Dipper had his bangs cover his face as he walked forward. Once he stood right in front of me I realized how tall he was. A few inches taller and I could read him well.
"I understand." He said as he leaned in. I thought he was coming for a kiss before he put something in my hand. It was my engagement ring.
"Found that right next to me on the night stand. I'm pretty sure you need that." Dipper said with a sad smile.
To say I was like jello is an understatement. I quickly grab my ring and put my hand on the knob. I want to look back at him, but I know if I look back I'll regret it. Deep, shallow breaths came in and I decide my last reckless act for him. I turned around and grabbed Dipper's head. I slam my lips against his one last time and everything stopped. The taste of mint was back except no alcohol.
I was sober and willingly kissing my best friend's surrogate brother, my fiancé's complicated enemy/friend, and finally my secret lover. Pushing myself further I felt Dipper grab my hips as I feel his tongue and mine meld together. We separate and my eyes saw what I missed. That joke on wondering what the girls were missing taken true. They were missing out on someone that would make their day, no lives. I wanted to stay as long as I could. Unfortunately I didn't have that luxury.
Dipper looks at me nervously as he let's go of me and I let to of him. I can't look at him. At least not right now. Maybe after some time, a few days, hours, anything that's not now. If looking back was bad I wouldn't want to know what I just did was. Now I definitely know I'll be hooked to Dipper if I stay any longer. I twist the knob, opened the door, and ran as fast as I could only to run into none other Mabel. We both fell and we're on the ground in a pile.
"Hey, I was just about to get you! Hey listen we're almost late I need to-" I, however, am not in the mood to talk. I just need to get away from Dipper. I grab Mabel's hand and pull her up. Before she could say anything I pull her to her car.
My mind is in panic mode, thankfully people will think of it pre-wedding jitters. Mabel, on the other hand, could read people like a book. I just hope she won't find out before the wedding.
"Alright." She gives me a subtle, suspicious look at me. "Let's go!" Mabel pushed the car pedals and soon we were off. My eyes flick back and I quickly avert them away from the building that was slowly disappearing behind us. I focus forward and look at my ring. Robbie would always be there for me, but I can't deny that there's something between me and Dipper. Maybe if things were different I could see me and him together. But no, I had plenty of chances. And all I got was one fantastic night, a regretful morning, and a heavy heart.
You know what enough of this mushy junk. I had my time, but I have a future ahead. One with someone I love and not just some weird heart throb. Robbie's the one, not Dipper. I know I'm right. Or am I?
