Drunken Fools!

While Reed and the boys took Devon out on the town, I called Janie up to see what she had been up too. We talked for a while about Cary and her wedding plans and then she asked me how things were with Reed.

"Things are great," I told her. "I'm just sitting around waiting for him to come home." She asked me where he was and I told her about the bachelor party for Devon. "Janie what's wrong?" I asked when she didn't say anything.

"Nothing," she told me and then laughed. "It's kind of pointless to have a bachelor party for Devon, it's not like he'll ever stop living like one after he's married."

"I don't know," I told her. "He seems to be only with Annette at the moment and when the baby comes, I don't see when he'll have time to screw around."

I didn't realize that I mentioned the baby until Janie laughed and told me I was crazy. "There's no baby, Devon doesn't want kids!"

"Ummm," I tried to think of a way to change the subject but I couldn't.

"Amber," Janie was suddenly very serious. "Is Annette pregnant? For real? Is that why he's marrying her?"

"Well Janie you see..."

"I can't believe this!" Janie screamed into the phone. "He told me he never slept with her!"

"Janie you don't know the whole story, see -"

"No Amber, I don't want to know. I'm with Cary and I'm happy; Devon can go to hell for all I care!"

She hung up before I could say anything else. I wasn't looking forward to when Reed and Devon found out that I was the one who talk Janie about the baby.

With the possibility of hanging out with Janie to kill time until Reed came home now gone, I decided to watch a movie or two. I really couldn't get into the movies I had so I ended up just going to bed, at 10, isn't that sad? I guess I feel asleep pretty easily because I barely remember my head hitting the pillow.

The ringing of my phone woke me up around 1 in the morning. I thought it would be Reed, so I jumped for it. "Hello?" I said excitedly but that faded when I was met with silence. "Hello?" I said again and glanced at the caller id, which said 'unknown caller'.

I was about to hang up when I heard laughing, female laughter and then a woman's whispering voice. "You think you are so special? You think he really loves you?"

"You must have the wrong number," I said to her.

"No Amber," the whispering continued. "You are a fool if you think you are the only one Reed has been seeing; where do you think he is tonight?" The woman laughed out loud and then told me Reed was amazing in bed. "I think I should invite him over again."

"Reed loves me," I told her. "I don't know what you are smoking but there's no way he's with you right now!"

"Wanna bet?" Click.

I stared at the phone in my hand. "There's no way he's cheating on me," I said out loud. "He wouldn't do it, he wouldn't risk losing Alexis like that." My bottom lip started to tremble, "Would he?"

I called him, I had too. Even though I didn't believe her, I needed to be reassured that I was right. His cell phone rang twice and then I heard a distorted 'hello'. "Reed?" I pressed the phone against my ear as I tried to hear above the really loud music where he was and the beating of my own heart.

"AMBER! HI DARLING!" He yelled into the phone, he sounded normal, well besides the yelling over the music. I went to speak and I heard, "AMMM-BER!" in the background, it sounded like Devon.

"A TOAST!" I heard another male voice.

"TO WHAT?" Another guy asked.

"WHY TO AMBER OF COURSE!" The first guy laughed. "FOR IGNORING ALL THE MEN HERE AND GETTING WITH REED! THE LUCKY BASTARD!"

"TO AMBER!" A chorus of male voices all said at once and then I heard a shooter special being announced. There was a lot of chatter and then I heard Reed again.

"MY DARLING I HAVE TO GO GET THE DRUNKS SOME SHOTS! I'LL SEE YOU WHEN I GET HOME!"

"Ok," I smiled. "Have fun Reed, I love you!"

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" He yelled and the boys all started making whipping noises. "SHUT UP GUYS!"

There was laughter and then the guy who toasted me did it again. "A TOAST TO AMBER...DAMN IT REED WHERE'S THE SHOTS? WE CAN'T DRINK TO YOUR WOMAN WITHOUT THEM!"

Reed told me he had to go and we said bye. I hung up feeling a little deaf but really happy. "I knew he wouldn't be cheating on me!"

I laid in bed for a little while thinking about Reed and what he suggested he would like to do when he came home.

I got up, ran to the bathroom to draw a bath for myself, I was going to make his 'dream' come true.

After soaking for a while I got out, dried off and then walked buck naked back to my room. I stood in front of my closet for the longest time wondering what I was going to wear when I remembered that I had a little number that I bought since I came back that I never even took out of the box because I wasn't sure if I was really comfortable wearing it. I quickly found the box and ran back to the bathroom hoping that I didn't feel too weird in it.

Standing in front of the full lenght mirror, I slowly opened my eyes to see how bad it looked. Hmmm I turned to the side and then turned so I could see the back. I feel sexy but do I look sexy? And will Reed really care what I'm wearing? I decided I would keep the barely there number on. He'll love that he can just tug at the strings on the sides and open my body up to full exploration in seconds.

Since I wasn't sure when he was coming home, I went back to bed but I didn't cover up nor did I turn off the bedroom light - I just dimmed them enough that he could see where he was going and my nearly naked body the second he walked into the room.

I fell asleep again only to be woke up a couple hours later when the front door opened. This is it! I squealed in my head and 'arranged' myself to make it appear like I was sound asleep.

I heard his footsteps just outside my door, I listened to the door open and close and then I heard Reed's animalistic groan of male approval when he saw me on the bed, on my stomach with my legs spread slightly. I heard the telltale signs that he was undressing in a real big hurry...
