- A year later -
We walked into the pub & I sat with Tess as Pete stood with his mates.
You would not believe who walked in.
Jake... with Chloe on his arm.
I stared wide-eyed & Pete grinned, looking down at me.
"I'm gonna throw up my beer soon." I mumbled, looking away.
I could not believe them.
This is weird.
"Kali." Tess said, putting her hand in front of my face.
"Hey sorry, is that um kind of disgusting for anyone else too?"
"Yeah very disgusting." Pete laughed, taking another sip of his beer.
"Pete maybe we should go."
"Why? That was a bloody year ago."
"I just don't wanna be here."
"Babe come on, let's have a dance."
He pulled me up off my chair and I laughed.
He started dancing with me when Chloe started walking over to us.
"Hey." She said, smiling at us.
"Hi Chloe." I said & Pete raised his beer at her.
"I see you guys are still together, that's really nice." She said & I nodded.
"Yeah, and you guys are together?"
She looked back at Jake & he grinned at her, giving a wink.
"Oh this shit is gonna make me sick." Pete mumbled, taking another sip of his beer.
Chloe wasn't gonna be the issue, drunk Jake was.
He began walking over to us and I gulped.
Awkward.
"Pete. Kali." He said, looking me up & down.
"You'd wanna get your eyes off her before I rip them out of your head." Pete growled at him & I rubbed his stomach, telling him to calm down pretty much.
"You won't do shit Pete."
He let go of me & put his face right infront of Jakes.
"Try me, see what I'll do Jake."
Jake grinned & Pete glared.
"Not in here Pete. I actually wanna be let back into this pub."
"Then go outside."
"Later Pete, later." He laughed, walking away from us, with Chloe following behind him, giving me a 'sorry' look.
I put my hand on Pete's cheek & he looked down at me.
"I need to get out of here. I'm gonna kill him."
I nodded and grabbed my bag, following him out the door.
"Where ya going Pete?" I heard him laugh, following us.
"Get lost Jake." I said, turning to face him.
"What you gonna do about it sweetheart?"
Now I was annoyed.
But apparently not more than Pete was.
He stomped back to Jake & they got close to eachother.
"Fuck off mate." Pete laughed, shoving Jake against the wall.
"Come on buddy, punch me in the face. Pete Collins the big bad bull rider, come knock me out."
Pete groaned and punched Jake across the face, making him drop against the wall with blood coming from the cut on his lip.
"You should only open your mouth if you can actually fight Jake." Pete grinned, knocking his hat off and walking back over to me, sweat dripping from his face.
I grinned & kissed him, leading him to his ute.
