025

The place looked amazing with black, white and teal curtains hanging everywhere. A huge bar was in along the back wall, the place truly did look amazing. "How did you do this?" I asked Sidney as everyone approached me to give me a hug. "James did it, I hope it's okay we turned
your brewery into a makeshift club for the night. We rented everything so don't worry, the couches aren't staying," he laughed. "Crosby, damnit, you're too good." I smiled giving him a kiss. Colby pulled me away from Sidney and dragged me to the bar. "What's the birthday girl drinking?" he asked as the bartender gave all of his attention to us. "Well you know I only drink beer, but hell it's my birthday, let's do a shot," I smiled. "Two jager bombs," Colby smiled to the bartender. We dropped our shots into the glass of Red Bull and at that moment I knew I was a goner. I was going to get jacked up, and poor Sidney would have to take care of me.

After a few jager bombs, Sidney moved one of the couches and created a dance floor. He wrapped his arm around me from behind and I began to grind my hips into his. I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize we were the only ones dancing. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck, playing with his curly hair. "Thank you so much Sid," I whispered into his ear. "You deserve it." Once the song was over I gave him a huge kiss and everyone started to clink their glasses. "Speech! Speech!" they all began to shout. I went over to the DJ, dragging Sidney with me. He handed me the microphone and I took a deep breath. "Hi guys, thank you all so much for spending my birthday with me. Four months ago I imagined I would spend my birthday alone at my house drinking my sorrows away for being so old, but this is so much better. I think I'm going to hang out with Darryl for the rest of the night, he makes me feel young. Colby, where are you?" I looked out and saw him with his arm wrapped tightly around Mel. "Colby, even though your only like two months older than me, you are my big brother. I am so happy that we reconnected, and I have grateful that you are there for me when I needed you the most. Now to this lug over here," I smiled bumping my hip into Sidney. "Sid, as sad as it is, I am so happy that I broke my nose. I am so happy that you were driving like an asshole that night and rearended me. You came into my life and with a snap of the fingers I fell in love with you. In just a short time we've gone through so much, and I love that after I've had a stressful day I come home to you. I love you Sidney, and I can't wait to make more memories like this with you, and I can't wait to go to Ireland." I began to cry and handed the mic back to the DJ. Sidney pulled me up into his arms and kissed me with more passion that I thought would ever be possible. Maybe it's the jager?

Sidney and I relaxed by the bar, and by this point I knew I was drunk. I was stumbling and counldn't take my eyes off of his lips. "Hey, go dance with Max, he looks lonely out there," Sid whispered into my ear. "You won't get mad? I mean I'm drunk, I might start dancing dirty," I laughed. "As long as there is no lip contact anywhere on either of you, I'm cool with it, because I'm going to kidnap you in about ten minutes and take you home for your last surprise." "It's not my birthday anymore though, it's almost 2 AM." He laughed and then pushed me out onto the dance floor. "Hey sexy," Max smiled pulling me into him. He squatted down infront of me running his hands up and down my thighs. As sexy as I thought Max was, he was no Sidney. He didn't even compare. I danced with Max until the song was over and ran over to Sidney. "Baby, I want you to take me home."

The next morning my head was killing me. I looked around the room and could see clothes thrown everywhere. I stretched my arms into the air and could hear my back cracking in several different places. "Gross," Sidney laughed as he rolled over to look at me. "How you feeling this morning rockstar?" "I feel like I'm 25," I laughed before crawling out of bed. I made my way to the kitchen where I found my skirt and jacket along with Sidney's suit coat and tie. I laughed to myself before pulling out some Motrin. I crawled back into bed with Sidney and kissed his cheek. "Yesterday was amazing, you're the best boyfriend anyone could ask for," I smiled. "Well I did have one last thing for you last night, but you attacked me as soon as we walked into the house," he laughed before climbing out of bed. "Where did you go?" I yelled after about fifteen minutes. He finally came back into the room with a large box. I crossed my legs and placed the box in front of me. I opened it up and pulled out two Potato Heads. "Oh my god, these are too funny," I laughed looking at them. The Mr. Potato Head had a bandage wrapped around it's head and the Mrs. Potato Head had a white bandage over it's nose. I saw there were more things in the box so I began to pull them out, only to find they were all different parts of outfits. "Sidney, this is awesome," I smiled kissing him before I saw the wedding dress and suit. I pulled them out and gave Sidney a look. "One day, maybe soon, we will see," he smiled before giving me a kiss. Maybe soon? Oh crap. I placed the Potato Heads on top of our dresser and hopped in the shower.

I knew I had a long few months ahead of me with the brewery, but I was very excited to get everything underway. I was happy to see that Sidney wasn't getting upset anymore with my late nights, it was hard on us though. There were a few moments when I thought we were going to fall apart, but at the end of the day when he would pull me into his body, I knew that's where I belonged. We didn't have a Valentine's day because I had very bad luck every year on that day, spending four out the last five in the hospital. So I knew it would be best for me to just stay in the house all day while Sidney had a game. My Valentine's day curse sucks! A few days after Valentine's day my heart completely broke in half, I remember staying in bed crying until my skin hurt. I couldn't believe this was happening.
