Arabella groaned and she hopped around a little bit, trying to reach the zipper in the back of her dress but failing. She had bare feet and her long hair was curled up into rollers, making her look just a little bit crazy. Her closet was a mess, clothes and shoes and jewelry were strewn all over the place. The party that Daniel was throwing for her was fast approaching and she was getting rather nervous. When it came to Daniel and parties, things usually got pretty messy by the end of the night. It was all or nothing with him. Arabella stomped her foot on the ground in frustration and she walked out of the closet, holding up her dress along the deep V in the front of her dress. "Hunter...can you please help me zip up?"
Hunter was sitting on the bed in a light blue shirt and khaki pants. He eventually started bouncing on the bed, a small smile on his face. He looked up when Arabella entered the room. She looked stunning, but when she asked if he would zip her up he stopped bouncing. "Ummm...No." Hunter said, shaking his head. "Maybe you could go back in there and put on a dress with a front?" He said, bouncing himself off the bed and looking at her with a raised eyebrow. She looked him in the eye and pouted a little and then tried without success to zip herself up again. "Maybe you could zip yourself up in a different dress?"
Arabella looked up at him and then down to her dress, sighing a little bit. Yes, it was a little bit revealing but it wasn't major or anything, at least she didn't think so. It wasn't like it was so low cut you could see her belly button or anything. "I like this dress, Hunter. I feel good in it and I am smoking hot" She said and looked up at him with big eyes. She didn't want him to be upset or mad or anything but she didn't want to go and change her clothes because he said so.
Hunter walked over to her and put his hands on her hips. "I never disputed how smoking hot you are." Hunter said with a little smile as he kissed her lightly on the lips. He saw how insistent she was and he sighed. "Fine. Because it's you and we're getting married tomorrow." Hunter said before starting to zip her dress up. He placed kisses up the middle of her back and then placed a kiss on the back of her neck as he finished zipping it up. "There. Now don't go too crazy tonight, okay?"
"I could say the same for you, stud" Arabella said softly and she turned around in his arms. She smiled a little at him and she slipped her arms around his neck. "Now, remember to take lots of one dollar bills for the strippers and only tip them if they're good" She told him, trying to sound like she was giving serious advice but she ended up giggling. Arabella wasn't really nervous about what Hunter was going to be doing at his party. He would have fun but he wouldn't do anything stupid. If she was ebing honest, she was more worried about herself than she was of Hunter. But she would never admit that to Hunter.
Hunter blushed and shook his head. "What did I say? I said that we're not going to see any strippers. We're going to Atlantic City and just gamble and maybe drink a little. It's three guys in committed relationships. Think about it." He said with a laugh as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the lips. "We're both going to have a great time tonight and then we're getting married tomorrow, okay?" Hunter said, pulling her a little bit closer.
Arabella smiled softly and she rested her forehead on his chest, closing her eyes. "We're getting married tomorrow" She breathed. A small smiled spread across her lips when she thought about it. The next day was her birthday and it they were getting married. It was going to be the best day of her life and she couldn't wait for it. "I love you, stud muffin, you know that?"
Hunter faked surprise. "Wait! Is that why we're getting married?!" Hunter smiled and ran his hands to her sides. "That makes so much more sense. My mistake." She pouted a little and smacked his chest, but Hunter pulled her in close, trapping her hand against his chest. "I love you, too, honey bunch." Hunter winked at her then placed his lips on hers, running his hands up and down her sides. "When did Danny said he was getting here?" He said, taking a step toward the bed.
"Mmm...too soon" Arabella groaned and she held onto Hunter's shirt, pulling him closer to her to kiss him. It had been too long since they had done anything. Everytime Arabella tried to get Hunter back to the bedroom or the hot tub, something would happen. The phone would ring. The dogs would bark. Piggy would decide that it was cuddle time and he wouldn't leave Arabella's side for a good 45 minutes, at least. "Maybe we'll have time for something quick" she giggled, winking at him. She ran her fingers down his chest then heard the doorbell ring. "Shit! He's early!" Arabella squeaked and she pulled away from Hunter, running to the bathroom to take her hair out of it's rollers and fix it up a little bit.
Hunter laughed a little bit and ran his fingers through his hair. "It could be Will and Kyle. They said they rented a limo and were picking me up." I peeked into the bathroom where Arabella was fastidiously fiddling with her hair. I leaned in and kissed her gently on the cheek then hurried down the stairs to the door. I opened the door and in walked Danny. There was a big limo and several girls were already screaming and passing around a bottle of champagne. "It's for you, sweetheart!" He called up the stairs.
"She's grooming. Is she grooming? She's grooming." He said with a sigh before running up the stairs. Hunter smiled a little then looked out the door and waved to the girls who waved back, some of them blowing kisses or winking.
"I'm on my way!" Arabella called back and she shook her hair out a little bit. She checked it out in the mirror and once she was happy with it, she ran back into her closet. She grabbed her purse and she slipped into her red high heels. Trying to move as fast as she could in her mega-high heels, Arabella rushed out the door and down the stairs. She smiled when she saw Daniel in his suit and she squeaked, running over to him and hugging him tightly.
"Oh, sweetie, you look fierce. No sign of drekitude, whatsoever" Daniel said, snapping. Arabella giggled at the America's Next Top Model refrence and she turned towards Hunter.
"Have fun tonight" Arabella said softly and she kissed him tightly, ignoring Daniel, who was tugging on her sleeve.
"You can kiss him when you're married. We have a party to go to!" Daniel groaned.
Hunter put an arm around her and smiled as she grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer. Hunter smiled against her lips and then realized they just sucked face right in front of the open door. The girls in the limo were screaming at this point and Hunter blushed a little.
"Love you." Hunter whispered against her lips. She kissed him again and then hurried out the door, closing it behind her. Hunter watched her leave and watched the limo drive off and it wasn't long before another one pulled up. Kyle emerged and ran up to the door, but Hunter opened before he could knock.
"Oh." He said a little surprised. "Come on. the limo's waiting." Hunter nodded and locked the door before running after him into the limo. "ATLANTIC CITY!" Kyle said as he settled into a seat and they took off for Hunter's bachelor party.
------------
"Sleep well, sweetie" Daniel was saying to her but it wasn't really going through to her. Arabella took her head off of his shoulder and she looked out the window of the limo.
"Home?" She muttered in a low voice.
"Home" Daniel said and he opened the door for her, helping her out.
Arabella stumbled in her high heels and she cursed under her breath. She took off her shoes and as the limo drove down the road, she slowly started to stumble up to the house. Arabella got to the front door and she dug through her purse, trying to find her keys. Once she finally found them, she managed to drop them on the ground a few times before she was able to unlock the door and walk inside. As soon as she closed the door behind her, she heard the dogs barking from their crates and she leaned back against the door, holding her head. "Shhh..."
Hunter looked up from his book and looked at the clock when he heard the limo pull up. It was 3 in the morning. Hunter had been home for a couple of hours, but he couldn't sleep. He was too excited for their big day. When he heard Arabella walk in and shush the dogs, he stood and walked over to her. "Welcome home." He said with a smile as he noticed how drunk she was.
"Mmm...hola, sexy face" Arabella muttered, looking up at him through hazy eyes and with a smile on her face. She dropped her shoes on the ground then took a step towards Hunter but she stumbled and kind of fell into his arms. "Oh..Hunter..we had the best champagne ever" She said and she put her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. There wasn't much that she could really remember at this point. She was tired, her feet hurt and she had a band aid on her finger and she had no idea how she got it.
Hunter smiled and put his hands on her back, rubbing it gently. She squirmed a little and Hunter just kind of swayed with her, burying his face in her hair. He was absorbed into the moment and he didn't even realize immediately that Arabella was unbuttoning his shirt. Hunter blushed and pulled away quickly, holding her at arm's length. "Ellie, how about we get you to bed?" Hunter said with a smile.
"Bed. That sounds like fun. Then we can do all kind of naughty things" Arabella slurred with a giggle and she kissed him tightly, pressing her body against his. Leaving her shoes at the door, Arabella started to stumble up the stairs, swaying a little bit. "Woah..since when are these stairs so wobbly?" She asked Hunter and she held onto the railing tightly with one hand and she reached out to hold onto his hand.
Hunter laughed a little and sighed a little before picking her up. She put her arms around his neck and held herself closer, biting and licking his neck. Hunter sighed and swallowed down his temptation as he entered their bedroom. He stood her up and had her face the bed while he took off his shirt. She backed up and started to grind against him a little and Hunter blushed and pushed her away again. He unzipped her dress and it fell down around her ankles, revealing no bra and a pair of lacy panties. Hunter blushed and quickly put his shirt on her before she could turn around. Hunter managed to get a button buttoned before she turned around and put her arms around his neck. Hunter continued to button it while she placed soft teasing kisses against his lips and face.
Arabella wiggled around and she nibbled on his bottom lip. With a giggle, she pulled away and walked back towards the bed. She flopped down and looked up at him. "Hunter...come to bed with me" She said and laughed a little bit. Arabella looked down at the shirt she was wearing with a confused look on her face, like she didn't know how she managed to get it buttoned up. Arabella started fussing with the buttons, trying to undo them but she was failing.
Hunter crawled on top of her and kissed her on the lips, pushing her hands away from the buttons. "How about this? Leave it on. I'll step into the bathroom and get ready. You just relax and this will be the best night of our lives." Hunter said, kissing her again and then standing up and walking into the bathroom. He leaned against the sink and counted down from 30 and when he walked back in she was asleep on top of the covers. Hunter grabbed her phone out of her hand and sighed a little at the new background before setting it on the nightstand. He pulled the covers over her and then slipped off his pants and pulled on a pair of pajama pants then got in bed, putting an arm around Arabella and holding her close. "I love you, Ellie. I promise I do." He muttered before putting his head down and falling asleep.
