I Want to Hold You, for Now and Forever

Jordan Hill - "Remember Me This Way":

Every now and then we find a special friend, who never lets us down, who understands it all, reaches out each time you fall, you're the best friend that I've found."

It had been a week since Brian told me to tell my parents about our wedded bliss but I failed to do so and instead of doing it tonight or going out with him and the boys, us girls decided to have a relaxing girlie night

“I love nights like these” Jen grinned, sipping on some chilled white wine

“Just us girls?” Dani asked and Jen just nodded as I plopped down beside her, stealing her glass of wine

“Hey! Get your own!” she chuckled trying to get it back

“No!” I laughed licking the wine glass “Want it back now?”

“No, I’m good” she laughed getting her another

“You do know if you go into a store and lick the bottom of a shoe you get it for free” Charl told us and we all burst out laughing

“No it doesn’t you tried it the other day and they looked at you like you were retarded” Beci said, laughing at the idiocy of one of her best friends

“Fucking dirtbags! They didn’t give you that shit for free?!” Dani exclaimed and Charl shook her head “That’s an outrage!”

“I know, right. I was like at least give me 50% off and she refused!”

“I was disgusted too” Beci nodded

“So what are we gonna do?” I asked looking around the room

“What are you gonna do” Beci pointed at me and I scrunched my face up in misunderstanding so she carried on “About telling your parents”

“Ooooh” I said before going quiet

“Wait… You haven’t told them? I thought I heard you tell Brian you did” Charl said

“Well, yeah, I was going too but maybe it slipped my mind” I countered

“Bullshit” Dani blurted out “You’re putting it off dirtbag and it’s not fair to him or your family for that matter”

“How the fuck is it not fair to my family?”

“Because they’ll be blindsided” she argued

“Then that’s my fault” I told her

“But they may take it out on him” Jen added

“I suppose, I’ll do it tomorrow”

“Its always tomorrow” Charl stressed

“Do you not realise how hard this is? To tell them that I accidentally got married, I’m scared to shit to say anything” I nervously chuckled

“It’ll work out” Beci shrugged

“Oh purr-leeasse. You know what my parents have been like since we’ve been here”

“True but mine have been the same. Just promise me that you’ll say something”

“I promise boo” I smiled warmly at her

“Moving on” Charl interrupted “Are you baking cakes in your fucking oven” she looked at Beci as we all laughed

“Have you even taken that damn test yet?” Dani included

“Yeah” she looked down

“Well?!” Jen shouted

“I’m…”

“Oh my fucking god!” I exclaimed

“Not pregnant!!!” She squealed as did we and all group hugged

“We’re so happy for you shithead” Charl laughed before noticing she said shithead and went silent

“Did you just call me shithead?” Beci asked her

“I didn’t mean too” she replied

“Then why did you??”

“I have no clue!” She whimpered and we all burst out laughing

“How do you accidently call someone shithead?” Jen asked looking at me, with tears of laughter filling her dazzling green eyes

“I have no fucking clue” I tried to breathe “How are you and Jimster?”

“We’re good actually, he’s so crazy, and I love it. There is never a dull moment in the Sullivan household I assure you”

“I’m happy for you, you deserve it” I smiled

“Yeah and it’s about time she ditched dating the dirtbags she picks” Dani said

“Hallelujah” Beci added

“Thanks guys, I feel loved”

“Well they aren’t wrong”

“Hey! Don’t start picking on me” Jen chuckled “I haven’t done anything wrong but fall in love with a fucking crazy ass”

“Okay, so let’s pick on… drum roll please… Dani!!” I said shouting Dani’s name

“Why me?”

“Because you’re short” Jen replied

“Hey don’t go there bitch”

“Shetland Shitface” Jen said, trying to agitate her

“Fuck you”

“You wish”

“You do realise Jenbadadad, that if she tried to hit you she’d only get to ya knees?” I asked Jen

“Damn straight”

“That’s only ‘cause she’s a fucking giant with a chopped off ass” Dani said aloud as we looked at her as if she was retarded

“So how’s it going with Mr. Vengeance?”

“It’s good” she answered with a red tint glowing in her cheeks

“Aww that’s cute!” Beci squealed

“Fuck off” Dani told her

“Ha! You looovveee him” Charl teased

“Like you can talk Dirtbag, what about you and Johnny? Huh? Got nothing to say now have ya!”

“It’s a different situation than two dumbasses being stubborn” Charl told her

“How so?”

“Because we’re fine as we are”

“No you’re not Charlotte, you really like him! Why stop yourself from being completely happy? Because you think it’ll ruin the sex? Or because you’re too afraid to take risks?” I asked her and she shrugged

“I honestly don’t know” She looked at me with sad eyes and we all hugged her “Now enough with the soppy shit, lets get shitfaced and watch us some Casablanca!” she grinned
For 3 hours, we drank wine, watched old movies and acted like little kids, it was fun to act how it used to be before our lives took different directions. They all decided to take taxi’s home so here I was cleaning up the mess they quickly got out of helping clean. I walked into the kitchen to dispose of the garbage and I heard sound of the door opening and closing

“Honey, I’m home!” Brian yelled with laugh

“I’m in here” I shouted back

“Where’s here?”

“The kitchen so quit shouting, you dork” I laughed as he walked up to me kissing me gently

“Good night?” he asked

“The best, you?”

“Yeah was fun just being us guys”

“Anything to tell me?” I grinned and he looked at me suspiciously

“Like what?”

“Gossip, drunken banter? I don’t know” I shrugged

“Nope and we actually didn’t get drunk”

“Wow, that’s a first” I kissed him, it never fails to surprise him when I did because I very rarely initiated such actions

“Does this mean your gonna give it up?” he said with a wide grin firmly planted on his face

“You must be drunk if your thinking that” I chuckled as his face fell “Not yet, just be patient”

“I know I know, I’ve heard the whole ‘I’m not a whore’ speech a thousand times”

“And you would have thought you’d have got the hint after the first two times” I smirked

“A guy can only be so understanding ya know”

“I know”

“So?”

“Still no”

“Fucks sake” he murmured and I burst out laughing “So your parents know we’re coming right? I’ve booked the tickets and shit”

I stopped laughing and looked at him wide eyed “Yeah?”

“You’re a bad liar. You haven’t rung them have you?”

“Maybe I have, Maybe I haven’t” by this point we were half way up the stairs and he grabbed my wrist pulling me over his shoulder

“Tell me the truth”

“Maybe”

“Maybe what?”

“Just maybe, baby” I laughed as he did before throwing me on the bed

“I’m serious”

“Fine” I blew out the breath I held “When I called them I said that some friends and I were coming. I couldn’t do it, I choked” he hung his head

“Are you ashamed or something?” he asked lifting his eyes to look me dead in mine

“Why the fuck would I be? Have you not see how fucking gorgeously handsome you are or how amazingly talented you are? Why the hell would I be?” I asked with my voice full of seriousness

“Then why are you putting this off?”

“Because I’m scared that, for the first time in my life they’ll be disappointed in me” I confessed “I couldn’t bear that babe, I really couldn’t”

“They won’t be, they’ll maybe be shocked and hurt that they weren’t there but so were mine. Call them tomorrow and I’m gonna sit with you when you do for some support” he said and I smiled at him, tugging on his shirt to pull him closer and kissed him passionately

“Your amazing, you know that right?” he laughed and nodded

“Amazing enough to have wild sex all night with?” he said, nipping at my neck

“Maybe…”

“Really?!” he looked at me

I laughed “When we get back from England… if we survive that is”

“You’re such a fucking tease”

“But baby, trust me, it’ll be worth the wait” I replied seductively

He groaned “Can’t you see what you do to me woman”

I bit my lip “Uh huh. Are you coming to bed?”

“Yeah, just having a cold shower first” he said, walking into the en suite bathroom. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep blissful sleep.

It was One in the afternoon and it was fucking hot to the point that we girls were sat around in bikini tops and skirts/shorts and the guys were topless. ‘Now that is masturbation material for girls’ I thought and started laughing out loud and I received some odd looks

“What’s funny?” Jimmy asked

“Nothing” I mumbled

“Liar!” Dani shouted and pointed, making some of them jump

“Shut up” I told her

“Then tell mee” She whined

“Alright, come here Shortcake and I’ll whisper it” and she did and I whispered it. She burst out laughing

“Dude your random”

“Telll meee” Jimmy said

“Noo” I laughed

“Why?” Matt asked

“Because…”

“Because What?” Zacky joined in

“Because I said so”

“But we wanna know” Johnny added

“Tough shit”

“Will you tell me?” Bri asked

“No fucking way”

“What about me?” Jen asked and I nodded, whispering it to her and she too laughed

“I couldn’t fucking agree more Chlomo” Just then Jimmy pulled me up and threw me on his shoulder

“Tell me or you’re going in the pool” He threatened

“You wouldn’t” I said

“You think he wouldn’t?” Zacky laughed. That’s true

“Please don’t Jimmy, I love your crazy ninja ass like crackheads love crack pipes” he laughed

“So tell me”

“I can’t” He moved closer to the pool

“Okay, okay”

“I feel so bad for you” Beci said laughing

“Yeah, so bad that you sit there and don’t help me” I said sarcastically as the others laughed

“You gonna tell me?” Jimmy said as he jumped up and down

“Oww my stomach” I mumbled

“Hurry up, I'm moving closer to the pool” and he wasn’t lying, he was right by the edge

“I said you guys topless is masturbation material” I shouted and Jimmy burst out laughing with the others as he let me down

“Fuck off” I mumbled glaring at him

“Really? So you’d masturbate to me?” Jimmy smirked

“Only if you were wet” I grinned

“Huh?” he asked confused as I pushed him in the pool and I stuck my tongue out

“Now I’ll masturbate, ha! Bitch!”

“I’ll get you back” he said climbing out of the pool

“Nopes, if you do I’ll tell my mummy!” he grabbed my wrists, pulling me toward him

“Wait!” Brian shouted making us all looking at him “That reminds me, you need to make a call” he said before disappearing then coming back with the phone in his hands. I took a big gulp and shook my head

“You have too”

“Briiaann” I whined

“In your exact words ‘tough shit’” he said thrusting the phone in my hand and I walked to sit down

“You’re really gonna make me do this?” he nodded and I breathed out, dialing my Mums number

“I hate you” I mumbled glaring at him as he laughed

“Hello?” my mum answered. Shit

“Hi Mummy”

“You okay? You’re still coming right?” she asked

“I’m okay and yeah we are. How are you mummy? What you been up to?” I felt Brian nudge me and I glared at him again

“Not much babe and yeah I’m good. So what are you calling about? You know it’s late right?”

“Yeah it’s like 9pm there isn’t it?”

“Uh huh”

“I have something to tell you” I confessed

“What’s happened? Are you and Beci okay? How about Jen, Dani and Charlotte?! Oh My God are you hurt??!” She said slightly loud, so the others could hear and they looked at me

“No we’re good. Just something happened and I need to tell you”

“Oh God, I nearly had a panic attack. So what is it?” she asked and I stood up, walking to the back door

“I got married”

“…”

“Mum?”

“…”

“Mum?! Are you there?”

“I can’t believe you got married without us being there. I knew you going over there was a bad idea”

“Mum, please calm down”

“I will not calm down!” she shouted “You’re my little girl and you run off to another country and ruin your life!” The others could hear her and I turned to look at Beci with tears in my eyes

“Mummy, I haven’t ruined my life”

“When?” she ignored my comment

“4 and a half months ago”

“Why Chloe? You’re young; you’re not even 23 yet” the sadness in her voice resonated in my head and placed guilt on the layers of my heart

“I know Mummy but he’s great, really, you’ll love him”

“Did Beci?”

“Did Beci what?” I asked and Beci looked at me with a raised eyebrow

“Get married or pregnant?”

I burst out laughing “No, she isn’t pregnant nor is she married” Beci and Matt choked on their drinks

“That’s good. The others?”

“Nopes, still crazy bitches”

She laughed “Okay”

“Are you disappointed?” I looked up to the sky Please, Lord don’t let her say those three letters that could change my life

“I could never be disappointed in you darling” she sighed

I smiled “Okay then and by the way, He’s coming to meet you next week. Love You!”

She coughed “Thanks for the warning. Once you get here, we’ll have a big talk, understood Chloe Hannah?” I cringed at my name as I heard Jen laugh

“Yes mother”

“I Love you babe”

“I Love you too Mummy” and we hung up and I walked over to Brian and smacked him round the head

“You are definitely never getting any”

“What?!” he jumped up

“You heard”

“Why?!”

“Because I made my mum sad” I frowned and he hugged me

“She’s okay now though, isn’t she?”

“No, she’s probably in tears” I said looking up to him

“Well least it’s out the way, right?” I nodded “So do I get some now?” the others laugh

“Nopes” I grinned and kissed him

Next stop…. England
