It's around ten at night when we get to Casper's. I come around the passenger side of the car to let Reina out, pausing for a second to blow some warm air into my hands from the cold.

Reina is wearing this long black sleeved tight top that is tucked into a pair of high waisted jeans along with some black over the knee boots. She looks incredible even though she complained about fifteen times about how she looked. I enjoyed every second reassuring her just how beautiful she is. I'd say it a thousand times if she needed me to.

"Are you sure this doesn't make me look fat?" She brings her hands to her stomach and cautiously feels over the fabric before I grasp her chin with my hands and give her a cheesy grin.

"You look so sexy in this." I assure her once more, pressing a swift kiss to her lips. "Why do you keep thinking like that?"

"I dunno," she shrugs. We both begin to walk towards the entrance and I wrap my arm around her side to bring her closer. "I guess I'm just nervous is all. I haven't hung out with everyone in a long time. Well, aside from Casey of course."

"Everyone is going to be so excited to see you, are you kidding? We've all missed you so much baby."

As soon as we open the door, thankful to be surrounded by warmth, I see Casey, Scott, Mark and Colby all seated at the bar watching the sports game on the television. As soon as they see us they all get the widest grins on their faces before they raise their glasses to us.

"Look who it is!" Mark shouts over the noisy crowd. "The couple of the hour."

I give fist bumps to Mark, and then Scott, and then Colby, and then I give a small side hug to Casey. She looks happier than normal when she glances between Reina and I, but I probably look the same.

"Hey guys." Reina gushes, biting nervously on her lip. She hugs all of the guys and takes a seat  on the barstool next to me. I try to calm her nerves down by squeezing her hand gently underneath the counter.

"It's really great you guys are back together." Mark says, shoving a handful of fries into his mouth. "You should have seen him Reina. Not getting laid didn't work well for him. He became a prick."

"Wow." I chuckle, hearing the soft laugh of hers behind me.

"See, I was nervous to see all of you again until you said that." Reina teases. "I see you guys obviously haven't changed a bit."

"Nothing's changed." Colby smirks. He lets his eyes linger on her a little longer than my liking, causing me to narrow my eyes slightly. "It's good to have you around again."

"It's good to be back." She admits. When she looks over at me and smiles all of the anger towards Colby fades away though. One look from her can make every angry bone in my body disappear.

I'm not sure when I will feel like this is all too good to be true. Being back at Casper's just like old times seems so strange to me. It's like this familiar feeling continuously brings little pangs of sadness because we could have had so many more fun nights like this had she not have lost her memory. Had I just looked the other way to see the truck coming.

We all decide on ordering wings, and I don't know whether it's the way Reina keeps smiling at me ever so often when Mark says something dirty, or if it's the way that the energy in this bar just seems so homey, but I finally feel like things are settling back into place.

After three beers I'm feeling slightly tipsy, and Reina can tell because I'm dancing along to a rap song that's playing throughout the speaker, moving my shoulders up and down as my wrists smoothly go back and forth with the rhythm.

"I fucking love you." I growl into her ear seductively, lingering longer than usual. I feel her body stiffen, causing a smile to grow on my face from the effect I have on her. The hairs on her body always stand on end, little goosebumps appearing on her skin. 

Mark and Colby are both trying to tag team these two girls in the corner, which is failing miserably. One of the girls is looking at her friend like she wants to leave, and the other girl quickly nods in agreement. Within minutes they rise from the barstools and Mark and Colby sigh in defeat. It's funny if I can be honest, and I can't help but start to laugh. 

"They're fucking pathetic." Scott mumbles, a grin almost forming onto his face. He grabs his sprite from the countertop and takes a couple of gulps before he sets it back down again. "It's really nice to see you so happy again man."

I can't help but smile, covering my mouth with my hand to try and hide it. Reina and Casey are dancing to a song, and she keeps throwing her head back in laughter when Casey stumbles in her heels for being so drunk. 

"It feels good." I say honestly. "I haven't felt like this in a long time."

"I know. I'm just glad that during all of this you didn't... you know." He cringes, unable to finish his sentence. 

I won't let him know about the two times I did give in and did end up cutting, but it wasn't as bad as I used to do it, and I felt like shit about myself afterwards. I know that I've been in recovery for almost two years now, and I don't have any intentions of doing it again. I was at my weakest point, the day when I spent the night with Reina at Carter's house and she left the next morning as if it was nothing. 

"I'm just thinking of the perfect way to propose." I tell him rather than dive into my terrible past. 

Before he's able to question me further, Reina and Casey both stumble into each of our laps. Casey seems to be more drunk than Reina, but they're still plastered. I watch Scott look at Casey and then look back at me, letting out a huff of frustration. "Babe, you're drunk already?" He groans. "We just got here like an hour ago."

Casey just shrugs her shoulders and slumps further into him while Reina is batting her eyelashes up at me. The look in her eyes tells me that she's wasted, but in all honesty she's cute when she's drunk. I don't mind it. 

I place a kiss to her nose, and then to her forehead. "You alright?" I ask. 

"Yeah, it's just hot as hell in here." She whines. "I need some air."

"Oh, I'll go with you."

I stand up from the barstool but she immediately shakes her head and pushes me back to sit down. "No, I've got it." She grins. "I'm a big girl."

I missed her being so sassy, but I especially missed watching that ass walk away from me. I let my eyes linger there for a little too long until Scott calls me back to reality. "So what's the plan?" He asks again. 

Casey is almost passed out on his lap, so I highly doubt she'll be able to hear this conversation. "I'm not sure, all I know is that it has to be special. It can't be cliche, you know?"

"Ugh, I think I'm going to throw up." Casey whimpers, causing Scott to let out another groan. 

"Fuck." He sighs. "Okay, we'll be right back."

They wander off to the bathroom and I wait for about fifteen minutes until I realize that Reina still hasn't come in from outside. When I go to head towards the front door I see her leaning over the balcony as Colby holds her hair back for her and is rubbing his hands up and down her back. 

"What the fuck?" I seethe in anger, swinging open the door. Colby immediately steps back, his face as pale as a ghost. 

"I-I was just trying to help her." He stammers. "She said she was going to be sick."

"I've got it. Just stay the fuck away from her." I shove him with my shoulder and grab her hair from her again. "Babe, are you alright?"

Colby wanders back inside, and he's lucky that I'm more focused on Reina's health right now instead of the different ways I'm beating him up in my head.

"I'm just sick." She groans. "I don't know why I drank so much, I was just so happy and I-" She pauses and clears her throat before she says, "Oh god," and begins to vomit over the railing of the staircase. I'm trying not to get sick but it's so hard. 

"Fuck." She lets out a huff and looks up into the sky. "We just got back together and I'm already embarrassing myself."

"You do realize that there isn't a thing you could ever possibly do to make me stop loving you, right?" I ask. 

She lets out a laugh and nudges me slightly with her shoulder. "Whatever." She smirks. "Let's just go home."
