Once again, I am not Simone Elkeles. She's awesome though. Oh, and Jared and David…I know I'm sexii but I don't think those are actually reviews…XD But thanks anyway?
Alex
"This one's for you, mamacita!" I yell, just as the music starts. I do a few humorous dance moves, just to see her laugh. Everyone in this joint knows I can move.
Brittany giggles recognizing the song, and I bite my lip a bit before I start to sing along to Ricky Martin's Livin' la vida loca.
"She's into Mexicanos...High heels and Chemistry..." She laughs through the entire song, which is basically what I am going for. I pull her up on stage and sing directly to her. God, she's beautiful.
Once the song ends she presses her lips against mine with such force that I stumble back and knock over the microphone stand. I laugh against her sweet lips and wrap her in my arms.
God, I just want to take her upstairs right now.
The party has barely even gotten started yet, though. And Britt wants me to show her stiff relatives how we Latinos party. I'll show them alright.
"Ey, muchacho! Give me something good!" I yell to the leader of the band. He nods to me and plucks at his guitar strings, starting up a beat for the others to follow. Now that's what I'm talking about.
I pull free from Britt and jump off the stage, landing in a crouch and turning back to the stage. Britt looks at me like I'm crazy, but the daring look I give her makes her ease up. She smirks at me and turns around.
Oh come on, don't leave me hanging...
She bends over and lifts the white dress up her leg a bit. So fucking sexy.
"Come on, baby," I say, holding out my arms for her. Her smirk grows and the sound of Velcro touches my ears. I look again and the bottom half of her dress is on the floor at her feet. "Dios mio..."
She full out grins and jumps off the stage towards me. I catch her in midair and spin her around. I am such a lucky man.
"You're wild," I whisper to her, holding her close and waiting for the music cue.
"Wild? Oh, that's nothing. Wait 'til tonight." I groan. She is trying to torture me.
The music cues and I whip her out from my chest, spinning her out and then back to my chest where she takes my hands and follows my lead. Her hips move in time with mine, sometimes I swear she is of Latino decent. She does not move like a snow girl.
I spin her all over the dance floor, where the hell did she learn to salsa like this? Man, I didn't teach her that. She slides her body down mine and then makes her way back up slowly. She is just…wow…
I spin her up into an impressive lift, one of the only ones I am confident I can do, and I hear cheers and whistles as Britt laughs, looking down at me. I put her back down on her feet and she walks away from me. What the…
She turns, fire filling her eyes as she runs at me. I catch her again and bring her into a low dip as the music ends.
"Where'd you learn to dance like that?" I ask, my lips inches from hers.
"I had a great teacher," she replies, kissing me as I straighten her up again.
"Remind me to thank him…" I smirk. She laughs and leads us off the floor. I am hot and a bit sweaty after that, so I take off my suit jacket and lay it aside on a chair as Britt leads me up to the bar. Britt leans on the bar and pretends to think it over,
"I'll have a…Screaming Orgasm on the Beach, please." I raise my eyebrow and smirk a bit, but the bartender just nods and replies,
"All your drinks are on the house tonight—both of you. What can I get for you?" he asks me. I shrug and say,
"Just a beer is fine."
"Coming right up, you two."
Britt turns to me again and wraps her arms around my waist, hugging herself to me. "I love you." I smile and reply,
"I love you, too." I have a feeling we'll never get sick of saying that to one another. It will always be true.
Britt downs her drink and then moves on to champagne, which I do too after my second beer. Enrique approaches us and nods to me, I return the small gesture and he holds up a twenty dollar bill and a pin.
I see the look of realization on Britt's face as she remembers back to Elena's wedding four years ago. She turns around as he pins it to her dress, keeping away from her ass because he knows I'd kick his ass if he even came close. I hear her mother gasp as the pin pierces the fabric and I can't help it, I have to smile at that. And with that, Britt leaves my side for the first time since the ceremony to go off and dance with my cousin.
I head out past the tables and into the lobby. I really want a cigarette, but that's strange seeing as how I quit years back. There are a few people in here, mainly Brittany's family though because my family is partying in there, passing my wife around the dance floor.
There is some sort of commotion behind me and I look to see Burroface stumbling through the doorway of the bathroom towards me. He has a beer bottle in his hand. First off, gross, you don't bring drinks into bathrooms with you. And second? Well, he was fucking drunk as all hell.
"Hey you! You dirty Mexican…you…" He trips a bit but catches himself, although I wish he hadn't. I grind my teeth together and try to keep my cool. Why was he even here? Did Brittany invite him? I sure as hell didn't.
"You in yur suit…you think you are oneofus…but yur not!"
I don't have to listen to this.
I growl under my breath a little and try to walk past him to go back to the party. He catches my arm and it takes everything I have not to punch his grin right off his face—God how I'd love to do that.
I promised myself I'd be good though, so I have to at least try to be civil, even if he is so fucking drunk that he'll be regretting it for days.
"Back off, Colin."
"Ooooooo scaweeeee," Colin replies, feigning fright. He should be scared, stupid ass. I turn to him and shake my head. It's sad really that he stoops to this level.
"Go home, I don't want you ruining Brittany's night."
"Fuck you! I'm staying here and partying."
"Then I advise you to keep out of my way, and if you try to cause any problems I will personally take you out myself."
I turn and leave before he even has a chance to process the information. He is slow enough as is; you'd think being drunk would somehow make him less stupid. Nope, it makes him more. Did that even make sense? Man, I've got to stop drinking.
"Hey, Alex. ¿Estás bien?" Isa says as she pops up at my side, looking behind me as I walk away from Burroface.
"Sí…" I lie. I have a feeling he's not going to give up and go home.
"Do you want me to…"
"I'm fine, Isa."
"Alright, whatever, I'll talk to you later." She walks away and I sigh, looking at the time. It was already about nine o'clock. How time flies…
I walk back out to the dance floor where Britt is dancing with Carlos. I laugh at the sight. Carlos isn't the best dancer, but he's trying to show off for the ladies. Sierra comes up to me, wiggling her ass in my direction.
"Dance with me, Alex!" She was a bit drunk too. But at least she was an amusing drunk. I let her move around me, moving my hips with hers and having fun until I hear three numbing words.
"Colin, please…stop," Brittany said. She says it only loud enough that the people around her hear, but I am one of those people. I turn, clenching my hands into fists instinctively and I let out a low growl.
Colin's hands were all over her, pulling up her dress as he tries to kiss her. That sent me over the edge. I know I have been trying to be good, but everyone knows that I have a quick temper.
My feet carry me over to them and I ignore Sierra as she tries to stop me. I pull Burroface free of Brittany and my fist connects with his jaw. I see his head whip around slightly and he falls backward, laying still.
"Alex!" Brittany scorns, kneeling at Colin's side.
"Get him out of here," I whisper softly. Doug, who's at my side is first to react. He steps forward and grabs one of Colin's arms where Enrique grabs the other. They lift him up and drag him out.
Brittany stands and crosses her arms, glaring at me.
"Alex, what they hell did you do that for?"
"He got his warning, Britt; it's not my fault he refused to—"
"He's drunk."
"And that's an excuse for him to grope you?" She doesn't answer. "I thought so."
"Alex…"
"Can we just forget about it for now?" She looks as if she's going to protest but we were making a scene, so she just nods. I sigh again and try to take both our minds off it.
"Why don't you round up the girls and throw the bouquet?" She smiles and lets out a small laugh,
"That sounds fun."
She rounds them all up and then gets up on stage. Tapping the microphone to make sure it is on, she smiles and says,
"Alright ladies, here we go!" She turns around and tosses the bouquet up over her head. The girls jump and scream as they try to catch it. When everything quiets, Britt turns around and the others girls back away slightly so everyone can see who caught it. A huge grin spreads across my face, as well as Britt's as we gaze upon the stunned Isabel.
"Isa! Wow!" Britt says into the microphone, and then laughs her musical laugh. Isa looks down at the flowers and chuckles,
"Me, get married? Yeah, right," she says out loud.
"Ay, I have to agree with you on that one, chica," I smirk. She throws me a glare and I help Britt off the stage.
"So…can I give you your present now?" she asks in a small voice.
"In front of all these people?" I ask, smirking. She rolls her eyes and leans closer, whispering in my ear.
"I think you'll like this one too…"
"Oh, will I?"
She backs up, pulling my hands towards the pile of present where there's a large box with a bow on it. I'm guessing that one's mine. She answers my thoughts and smiles,
"Well, go ahead, open it!" I raise an eyebrow as I pass her but I'm truly curious as to what she'd get me that would need a box this big. I pull at the tape at the top, the only thing holding the entire box together and it gives. The sides fall down to the floor around it and I step back to see my present.
Ella es una diosa…a freaking goddess.
Sitting right before my eyes is Julio, the bike I had given up four years ago to help pay for college.
"Surprise," Brittany whispers. I walk up to the bike and run my hand along it, then look back up to her.
"You…"
"…found it," she continues.
"And…"
"…bought it back for you. Yes." She smiles and I run to her, lifting her up and spinning her around in my arms.
"My god, Britt, thank you."
"I love you, Alex."
"I love you too, baby, so much…" I hug her close and kiss her, forgetting about everyone else for a minute. I hear someone clear their throat and I look up again, not releasing Britt just yet.
"Why don't you two get a room?" Sierra says, winking at Britt. I smirk,
"You know what, Sierra? I think we'll do just that." I pull a room key out of my pocket and stick it between my teeth, lifting Brittany up and cradling her against my chest—bridal style.
What? I can only think of one way to properly thank her for her gift…and that is to start the honeymoon early.
Sorry I took forever to update guys! As you can see though, this is the longest chapter yet! Which is exciting…kind of. XD. Umm, let me know how you liked it. Review!
