Romans & histoires After Party

"Wait one second. You haven't touched your meal at all. It's cold now, but you have to eat it anyway. I went through all the trouble." "I can survive for a few hours," Joel told her, standing up. Mary shrugged. "If you say so. Here's to our first actual day as partners.”

Those were our vulnerable days, we want to explore, meet new people, try new things, not everyone marries their high school sweetheart, well except the lucky ones. Graduating from high school is just After! Jordan I loved and still love her but college did things to me, the distance was the start, but we talked like every day, until the wild parties, the crazy friends, drugs and the girls, Nova and I started drifting. She came to visit me and the rest was just After! After! After high school After College.

"Yes, it is. I'm so sorry I acted like that. You know I won't have, if I were in my right senses." He chuckled. "It’s okay. You were drunk. And you weren't in your right state of mind, so I understand. How are you doing?" "I'm cool. Hanging out with Candy. But she will be off soon. Her lunch break will he over soon. So, I'm here. All alone. Tara has a photo shoot tonight, so she won't be free." There was another silence. Okay, Denzel wasn't the talking type.

I just sat there watching them like a big pile of nothing. Thing is as a celebrity, I'm now used to people doing things for me. I try not to be a bitch sometimes. "But why does she have to come with you?" I whine. I said try. "The blood moon is in Five days which means it's initiation night. You, Katie and other young witches are going to be initiated into a coven." I open my mouth to protest but she puts her hand up. "I do not want anymore of your Excuses Meave. You'll get initiated in five days time and that's that."

Emily gave her an amused look and asked, “Invite me???” “Yes! There is a girl’s party this weekend Saturday and you have to come, please! After the basketball match, the boys are having a party at Adrian’s penthouse, I am sure you know that?” Honey said and Emily nodded, though she frowned inside since Adrian didn’t tell her about the after party which was in two days as per Honey! “Well, since we girls are also doing cheerleading, I am throwing this after party at my place and you have to come if you have really forgiven me!” Honey insisted.

“Even with this morning’s… hiccup.” I forced a smile, nodding along as the other Lunas congratulated me. “Thank you,” I said softly. “I couldn’t have done it without all of you.” Gertrude appeared at my side then with a grin. “I hope you’re not too tired for more,” she said, pushing her glasses up on her nose. “We’re going out for an afterparty.” My eyebrows shot up. “An afterparty?” I echoed. Right now, I just wanted to curl up in a ball and hide from the world in some closet or another. But the idea of going out was simultaneously intriguing, and sounded like a reasonable excuse to get my mind off of things.

That’s how you know the bachelor party was a success—when the groom wakes up barely human, hungover, and halfway questioning every decision that led to this moment. We both got back late. Way after the rehearsal dinner ended. The after-party spiraled into something else entirely—shots of things I couldn’t name, groomsmen and strangers dragging us into different corners of the bar, music too loud to remember what it meant to have coherent thoughts. I have a strong stomach. Always have. But even I pushed my limit last night.

Just stay tuned! Adrian's party will happen before Dimitri's family's ball. Will Lissa ever apologize to Christian? Should Rose have listened to her father's warning, and was he even telling the whole truth? Until next time...

They didn’t care; they turned ten inches to the left and immediately started hitting on a much more receptive target. At some point – after Riley had manhandled the asses of basically every woman in the room and gotten slapped by half of them; after enough women had thrown themselves all over Derek, and he’d signed at least another two dozen sets of boobs; after Killian and Mike had jammed on acoustic with the opening band; after Ryan had talked to virtually every music producer and big-name musical act in the room; after Derek and Riley got into a shoving match and she wound up tearing his shirt off (much to the delight of the women in the room); after I saw several mirrored trays of cocain

I gazed at the photo for ages before finally setting my phone aside. It was a good thing that I had stopped pinning any hopes on Henry long ago. Melanie's taunts could no longer touch me. It was the night before my departure abroad when Henry's call came through at last. "It's my birthday today. You've always been there for me, year after year. You won't break tradition, will you? I've booked us a table at San Nello's finest. See you at eight. Don't stand me up!" I almost said no, but with my move abroad the next day, and no more chances to see him, I figured it was time for a proper farewell, to close the chapter on us once and for all.
