This is our Life

Chapter 46

Josh Pov
I wake up next to my beautiful wife, and my eyes burn. I rush to the bathroom, and start to reproduce my insides. Maybe I shouldn't have had so many drinks. But eh, it was my wedding day, I deserve to celebrate. Memories from my bachelor party flow through my mind, it was definitely crazy. *Lucas was in charge of the party, since he was the one to lose his freedom first. All of us (including the girls) went to Vegas for a few days. Riley was almost crying on the plane, as she left Mathew to his grandparents. It was cute, how Lucas comforted her. We stayed at the gorgeous Venetian Hotel, and we had two suites; one for the girls and one for the guys. They were huge, Queen sized beds, a big fully-stocked fridge, huge TV, and an indoor hot tub. The guys and I were in the room playing PS4, drinking beer and stuffing our faces with "manly heaven" i.e. Pizza, onion rings, burgers, wings, steak, ribs, and pie. We decided to take some shots, which turned into us finishing 2 bottles of vodka. Leading to the worst hangover in the history of hangovers.* I look down to realize that I'm completely naked, so I grab boxers, shorts and a t-shirt and get changed. I decide take an Advil, and chug a water bottle before climbing back into bed, a bucket and the bottle of Advil right next to me. My sudden weight on the bed caused Maya to groan, and smack me with her pillow, before flopping on her side once again and falling back to sleep. I laugh, and pull the blanket off of her. Bad mistake. She's nude from head to toe as well, and is screaming about being increasingly cold, and pulls on her clothes faster than I've ever seen before. She too turns a bit green, before snatching the bucket and running to the bathroom with it. Once she's all cleaned up, we go to wake up "Rucas" and "Smarkle". It went like this. "RILEY AND LUCAS FRIAR GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Maya shouted, pounding on the door. I could practically hear Lucas and Riley kissing, before having shocked looks on their faces. Maya took a bobby pin and decided to unlock their door, resulting in Maya rolling on the floor, laughing as Riley was making out with Lucas, straddling his waist. The funny thing was, Riley fell off of Lucas as Maya opened the door. Lucas, however, tried to cover his half naked body with a comforter, but Riley obviously wanted to see it. So she yanked the blanket off of him, and I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. We got them to get dressed, and follow us to get Farkle and Smackle. Maya didn't even bother screaming, she just opened the door. I shielded my eyes, as Smackle and Farkle were fast asleep, only wearing undergarments. Maya quietly closed the door, after Riley and Lucas ran out of their room. I called Farkle, and let him know that we were going to get breakfast, and that he had to hurry up if he was going to come with us. Within minutes, "Smarkle" emerged, their faces flushed, smiles on their faces. I smirk at Farkle, who's looking even more confident today. We walk to the nearest Starbucks, and take our orders. Maya gets regular coffee, Lucas gets a latte, Farkle gets a peach green tea lemonade, Smackle gets a caramel macchiato, and I get a mocha. Riley's drink is the most complicated Starbucks order I've ever heard. "I'll have a Vanilla Frappucino with a two shots of peppermint, one shot of caramel, half a shot of raspberry, toffee bits, caramel and chocolate drizzle, a little bit of espresso mixed in, extra whipped cream, and almond milk instead of regular," she says, the barista's eyes bugging out of her head. Everybody but Lucas stared at her, I'm wondering how he's not surprised. "We go to Starbucks a lot," he answers. We pick up our drinks, and sit back down. I stand up, and say,
"This year's been crazy, I'm not gonna lie. But it's great that we are all sitting here today, through all of what's happened. To many more years!" We raise our glasses, and take a sip. What a life.
