She cocks her head to the side in question and says, “You’re not going to tell me where?”
I face forward, turn on the truck before saying, “You’ll see when we get there.”
As soon as we park and start walking I know she knows what my plan is, but she doesn’t say a word. We enter Central Park and walk over to the carriage. She kisses my cheek as I help her in. Once we are in, I pull her to me. “I thought it might be romantic to replay our first date.”
“You thought right. This brings back so many memories. I can’t believe it’s been a year.” I kiss her head and we both enjoy the ride in silence with our own memories. I know the ride will be over soon, so I turn her to face me. I pull out the jewelry box that I picked up early. I hand it over to her and she lifts her eyes to look at me.
“What’s this?”
I chuckle and say, “Well if you open it, you’ll find out.” She cracks open the top and sucks in a breath throwing her hand over her mouth.
“Oh, Campbell it’s absolutely stunning.” I got her an emerald heart pendent necklace. I love green on my girl. “I’m glad you like it. Here let me help you put it on.” She takes it out of the box handing it to me. She turns and lifts her hair so I can clasp it around her. Once I have it done, she fingers it before looking at me. She has tears in her eyes.
“Thank you. I love it and I love you.” I would buy her anything in the world just to make her happy.
Once the carriage ride is finished, we walk back to the truck. “You still want to stop by the bar to see everyone or just head home?” I don’t care either way, but I still have the image of my sexy girl pleasing herself and going home would mean I could please her.
“We can stop by the bar for a while. I want to show off my necklace anyway.” I reach for her hand, kiss her knuckles and intertwine our fingers holding them on my lap.
“Alright, we will stop by. But just so you know, I am still turned on from earlier, so that is something we need to rectify.”
She chuckles and says, “I think we can manage that.”
We drive to the apartment, park the truck, and walk to the bar. There is an abundance of people out tonight being that it is Saturday. I keep a tight grip on Kenz’s hand to make sure I don’t lose her in the crowd. This is the reason I hate her working late on the weekends. I’m always scared something will happen to her on her way home.
We reach the bar and head inside. It is fucking packed tonight. Dick text earlier saying they were seated by the pool tables. I still have a grip on her hand pulling her with me in that direction. I see them all sitting at a table laughing. I am so grateful we have all become such great friends. We reach the table and I grab two chairs for Kenz and me.
“Wow, you guys look hot!” Maddie says.
I chuckle and Kenz says, “Look what Campbell gave me. Isn’t it beautiful?” The girls are fanning over it. This makes me proud of myself.
“How was dinner?” Dick asks, genuinely wanting to know.
“It was perfect. Everything is as long as I have my girl.”
“I really am fucking happy for you guys. I can’t believe it’s been a year.”
“Me either man.”
Young gets everyone a round of shots and comes back to the table. “I’d like to make a toast.” He says and we all groan at the thought of what will come out of his mouth. “Fuck off it’s a good one.”
“Go ahead, Young.” Becca encourages.
He clears his throat. “I want to congratulate you both on being together a year. I know I run my mouth and I am an asshole most of the time, but I love you both. I’m happy for you guys and I’m honored to be a part of your lives.” I am looking at him in shock. Don’t get me wrong, I know Young is a great guy, but he normally doesn’t show it.
“Thank you, Young. I love you too.” Kenz says giving him a hug. When she lets go I give him a quick hug.
“Thanks, man. That means a lot.”
We all slam back our shots, then Young says, “Red, come hug me again. I forgot to give your ass a squeeze.” There he is, what an asswipe.
We get another round of shot this time I hold up my glass and say, “Best year of my fucking life.” Dick goes to get more shots and I feel like this night may not turn out exactly as I had planned, but we are having a great time with our friends. Dick comes back with a tray of shots.
We all grab one and Maddie holds her glass up, “You two make relationships look appealing. Not to me, but to some people I’m sure. Love you both.” We all laugh and throw back the shot.
Its Dick’s turn, “I’m so fucking happy for you guys. You two are perfect for each other.”
Another round, another toast.
