Always

Chapter 8

If had told me two years ago that I would be as happy and content as I am, and engaged...." I shook my head, still not really believing that this was my life right now. "I would have asked you what kind of crack you were smoking." Sam put his hand on my shoulder. "We've come a long way since Kansas Brother." I nodded. "We definitely have. Oh, by the way," I looked up at him. "I wanted to ask you something." He lifted his shoulders questioningly. "What's up?" "You gonna be my Best Man?" I asked him, smiling. He tilted his head and a grin formed on his face. "You know it brother. I stood up, just as he did the same. We met behind Brennen, hugging it out. "I'm happy for you Colby." Sam said quietly, as we hugged. "Thanks brother." We released and sat back down. "I would be man if it were anyone else that beat me out for best man." Brennen replied, pretending to wipe his eyes. "But I guess I'll be okay since it's Sam." I smiled and shrugged. "Sorry bro, it's Solby this time." I looked around at my other friends...no, my brothers. "I want  you all to be groomsmen and stand with me at the alter. I assume that y/n will probably ask all of the girls to be bridesmaids or something, so it won't be a problem. "Hell yea, we will!" Corey exclaimed. "Oooo, I get to get all fancy!" He moved his neck in a circular motion, and snapped his fingers. We laughed, and I looked at Brennen. "You in?" "Course I am." He said looking at me like I was crazy. "That's a dumb question Colby." He looked at Sam. "Hey Samuuuueeelll, can I help plan the bachelor party?" Sam laughed. "Oh woah, woah, woah, I don't know if I want a bachelor party. I'm thinking about maybe just using that camping trip as a thing for me and y/n to celebrate together with all of our friends. What do you guys think?" I asked. They nodded, looking thoughtful. "I mean, if that's what you wanna do...can we at least party in the woods?" Brennen asked. "Yeah, I'll leave all of that up to Sam and whoever he decides to let help him. I just want it to be with all of us, the girls too." "So no last night as a single man?" Jake asked, teasingly. I shook my head, smiling just a little. "I haven't been single since she walked into Sam's apartment that night, Jake. Why pretend?" I said, holding up hands out, palms up. "You got it bad brother." He said laughing. "Not gonna lie, I really do. You can't talk though, Tara actually has you cleaning your apartment now." He brought his lips in and looked to the side. "Yeah, you might be right." He face changed, like he was thinking hard. "Damn, when did that happen?" He looked confused. "Ha, she's got you wrapped brotheeerrrr!" I exclaimed, laughing at him. "I think we're all wrapped around their little fingers...I'm just glad me and Corey aren't the only ones now." Sam replied. "Yeah, me too brother." Corey said, looking relieved. "So, you guys ready to head back to the ladies that have us wrapped and see what they're up too? They had 3 bottles of liquor...should be fun." I said, shrugging my shoulders, smiling at them. "Yeess," Sam said, narrowing his gaze. "I'm kind of scared of what we're going to walk into." Jake replied. "I'm ready. I like seeing Devyn drunk. She gets friskyyyy!" Corey exclaimed, standing up and downing his drink. "Let'sssss getttiit!" He cried out, making half of the people in the bar look our way. "Sorry, just a little drunk. It's what we do." Brennen waved to the people that were looking. We all laughed and stood up, clearing our mess. It was time to go home to the women that we loved. It took us a little longer than necessary to make it home. With traffic, and having to stop for Jake to pee, we didn't make it home for another hour. The slight buzz that I had gotten at the bar was gone. We got off the elevator and walked towards my apartment. Before we got there, I heard loud music blaring down the hallway. "F*ck, is that from my apartment? They're gonna get us kicked out!" I exclaimed. "Nah, I've received like 5 noise complaints and eviction warning." Jake replied shrugging. "Still nothing yet." I laughed. "Yeeesss, that's my jam!" Corey did the normal thing and started dancing down the hallway. I was jealous of that, not gonna lie. His feet moved so swiftly and smoothly down the hallway, he almost looked like he was gliding. He reached the door before us. "Yeah Colby, that's definitely coming from in here." He said, nodding. I just shook my head. I was surprised that I hadn't been called with a complaint yet. I turned my key in the lock and opened the door. The girls were all in the living room, dancing around with one another, turning up bottles of liquor. Guess they said forget the cups. They had changed into their night clothes so all of them were dressed in tiny pajama shorts and t-shirts, or loose tank tops. It was pretty cute. We all walked inside and closed the door quietly, just watching them for a little while. I watched as Y/N turned up a bottle of Jack and took a couple of large swallows, then stumbled while she brought the bottle back down. She caught herself and kept dancing, laughing with the girls. Kat backed up to her, pressing up against her and started grinding. Y/N put her free hand on Kat's hip and yelled, "YEEESSSS B*TCH!" "Jesus Chist." I heard Sam mutter from beside me. "I feel like I'm watching something dirty." I chuckled quietly. "I'm not complaining." I replied.
