“I’m getting a beer, you want one?” Michelle asked. I nodded and scanned the bowling alley for Caleb. My breath caught once I spotted him. He was in the middle of a bowling game with his best friend, Austin the PE teacher, and Austin’s wife. Caleb and Austin were currently cheering loudly with a beer in their hands, and Caleb looked fine as always. He wore a white long sleeved three-button thermal shirt, two of the buttons were undone, revealing the chain of a necklace he wore. He finished his look with a black ripped jeans, and white Nike Air Forces. After admiring his look, I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and moved towards my man.
“Ok ok, I got another trick shot for you fools.” Caleb exclaimed cheerfully as he set his beer down and moved to grab his bowling ball.
“Oh hey Angela,” Austin greeted as I approached their lane. This clearly caught Caleb off guard as he paused with his fingers in the holes of the ball and looked back at me. I smiled at Austin and waved at his wifr without breaking my stride. In a rare display of confidence, I placed my hands on Caleb’s cheek and interrupted him by planting a hard kiss on his lips. A kiss for all to see that I wanted him, and that he was mine.
His lips tasted like the beer he was drinking and I felt him pull me in close with his free hand as he kissed me back.
“Hey alright,” I heard Austin say behind me. I wasn’t sure exactly how many saw me and Caleb currently locking lips, and I didn’t care. It was more to show that I wasn’t worried about looking “professional” or trying to keep our relationship a secret.
After stepping back, I placed my hand on his chest and smiled.
“Sorry,” I whispered in reference to our last conversation.
“I think we’re good,” Caleb responded with a smile. “I uh… I gotta finish this shot real quick.” I giggled and stepped back to let him pick up his bowling ball and sat down at the table for their lane they had chosen. Michelle arrived with two beers in her hands and handed one to me as I sat down. Immediately, I took a sip and smiled as Michelle shot me a thumbs up.
The party ended up being more of a blast than I originally thought. It didn’t take long for the alcohol to loosen people up, and soon the sound of people cheering after every strike would take over. Christmas music played over the loud speakers, and as we all bowled, we danced along to the songs.
Caleb and I stole kisses from each other whenever possible and continued to drink, courtesy of pushy Michelle. Pretty soon, the principal himself joined our lane, claiming we were the life of the party. He was drunk, and having a damn good time. His arrival made the male to female ratio of our lane even and we ended up playing multiple games of boys vs girls.
By the time our second game got started, we were all too drunk to care about our scores, thanks to Caleb and Michelle deciding to buy us fishbowls, which were literal gallon fishbowls filled with a mix of alcohol and some other blue fruit drink. It was good, amazing actually, and the juice hid the taste of the alcohol, making it easy to go back for more.
