The night before the wedding.
Bachelor party. Bachelorette party.
Separate. By tradition. By choice.
Jay: "I don't want to be separated."
Keifer: "One night."
Jay: "Too long."
Keifer: "You'll survive."
Jay: "Will you?"
Keifer: "Barely."
Jay: "Tss."
Keifer: "Stop."
Jay: "No."
He kissed her. Long. Deep.
Percy: "DOCUMENTING THE PRE-PARTY GOODBYE!"
Ci-n: "FROM THREE ANGLES!"
Rakki: "Those two."
The girls got ready at the house.
Jay stepped out of her room.
Black dress. Short. Elegant. Dangerous.
Mica: "JAY."
Rakki: "Holy—"
Freya: "Keifer's going to lose his mind."
Ella: "He's going to pass out."
Honey: "Someone call an ambulance."
Jay: "It's just a dress."
Mica: "It's NOT just a dress."
Jay: "Tss."
Everyone: "DID YOU JUST—"
Jay: "Maybe."
Freya: "You're stealing his thing ON YOUR BACHELORETTE?"
Jay: "OUR thing now."
The guys got ready elsewhere.
Keifer walked out.
Black suit. Fitted. Perfect. Dangerous.
Aries: "Bro."
Calix: "Man."
Edrix: "Wow."
Rory: "Statistically impressive."
Drew: "I'm taking bets on how many girls try to talk to him."
David: "Zero. He only sees Jay."
Drew: "Fair."
Percy: "KEIFER! YOU LOOK LIKE A MOVIE STAR!"
Ci-n: (on video call) "I'M CRYING! FROM THREE ANGLES!"
Keifer: "It's just a suit."
Aries: "It's NOT just a suit."
Keifer: "Tss."
Everyone: "DID YOU JUST—"
Keifer: "Maybe."
Aries: "You're stealing her thing ON YOUR BACHELOR PARTY?"
Keifer: "OUR thing now."
The parties began.
Girls at a fancy club. Music. Lights. Drinks.
Jay danced. Free. Happy. Beautiful.
Mica: "YOU'RE KILLING IT!"
Rakki: "Literally killing it."
Freya: "I'm recording this."
Ella: "Send it to the group chat."
Honey: "Already done."
The video hit the guys' group chat.
Keifer opened it.
Jay on screen. Dancing. Smiling. Laughing.
Hair moving. Dress shining. Eyes bright.
Keifer's breath caught.
Then—
He noticed.
Behind her. A group of guys. Watching.
Pointing. Smiling. Appreciating.
Keifer's jaw tightened.
Aries: "Uh oh."
Calix: "Keifer?"
Edrix: "He's got the face."
Rory: "Jealousy probability: 100%."
Percy: "WHERE ARE THEY? LET'S GO!"
The guys moved.
Cars. Streets. Club entrance.
They burst in.
Keifer scanned the room.
Found her.
Jay was at the bar. Leaning. Laughing at something Freya said.
The guys behind her still watching.
Keifer walked.
Aries followed. Calix. Edrix. Rory. Drew. David. Eren. Josh. Baster.
Percy recorded everything.
Jay turned.
Saw him.
Her face lit up.
Jay: "KEIF!"
She ran. Tripped slightly. He caught her.
Jay: "YOU'RE HERE!"
Keifer: "I'm here."
Jay: "MISSED YOU!"
Keifer: "Missed you too."
Jay: "LONGEST NIGHT EVER!"
Keifer: "It's been three hours."
Jay: "THREE HOURS TOO LONG!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck.
The guys behind them melted away. Smart.
Jay pulled back. Looked at him.
Eyes wide. Sparkling. Tipsy.
Jay: "You look... wow."
Keifer: "You look..."
Jay: "I look what?"
Keifer: "Perfect."
Jay: "SMOOTH."
Keifer: "HONEST."
Jay: "Tss."
Keifer: "Stop."
Jay: "NO."
She giggled.
Actual giggle.
Keifer's heart stopped.
Jay: "Keif."
Keifer: "Yeah?"
Jay: "You're my favorite person."
Keifer: "You're my favorite too."
Jay: "In the whole world."
Keifer: "Same."
Jay: "Baby."
Keifer: "Jay."
Jay: "Love."
Keifer: "I love you."
Jay: "I love YOU more."
Keifer: "Impossible."
Jay: "PROVE IT."
Keifer lost it.
He grabbed her. Kissed her.
Not gentle. Not slow.
Deep. Hard. Desperate.
She melted into him. Hands in his hair.
He kissed down her jaw. Her neck. Her shoulder.
Jay: "Keif—"
Keifer: "Don't care who's watching."
Jay: "GOOD."
He kissed her again.
The club ERUPTED.
People cheered. Whistled. Phones out.
Section E lost their minds.
Percy: "THIS IS CINEMA! DOCUMENTING EVERY SECOND!"
Ci-n: (on phone) "I'M SEEING IT! FROM THREE ANGLES!"
Aries: "My sister is being kissed in public."
Ella: "Your sister is being worshipped."
Aries: "Same thing?"
Ella: "Same thing."
Mica: "THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!"
Calix: "THAT'S MY OTHER BEST FRIEND!"
Freya: "Okay. That's actually hot."
Edrix: "Really hot."
Freya: "Shut up."
Edrix: "Never."
Rory: "Probability of them stopping: 0%."
Drew: "I'm taking bets on how long this lasts."
David: "Forever. 500."
Drew: "Safe bet."
Eren: "Kevin the Ninth is watching!"
Josh nodded. Gave a thumbs up.
Baster hummed a passionate melody.
They finally pulled apart.
Foreheads together. Breathing hard.
Jay: "Wow."
Keifer: "Yeah."
Jay: "Do that again."
Keifer: "Gladly."
He kissed her. Slower this time. Softer.
But still deep. Still perfect.
Jay: "Keif."
Keifer: "Yeah?"
Jay: "Carry me home."
Keifer: "Now?"
Jay: "Now. Please. Baby."
Keifer: "Anything for you, love."
He scooped her up. Bridal style.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. Smiled.
Jay: "Best fiancé ever."
Keifer: "Best fiancée ever."
Jay: "Tss."
Keifer: "Stop."
Jay: "No."
He kissed her forehead.
Carried her out.
Section E followed.
Percy: "THIS IS THE BEST BACHELOR PARTY IN HISTORY!"
Ci-n: "I HAVE 47 VIDEOS!"
Rakki: "Those two."
Mica: "Forever."
Calix: "Always."
Freya: "Finally."
Edrix: "Perfect."
Freya: "Shut up."
Edrix: "Never."
The night ended.
Jay and Keifer at the house. Their room.
Jay: "Today was perfect."
Keifer: "Today was chaos."
Jay: "Same thing?"
Keifer: "Same thing."
Jay: "I love you."
Keifer: "I love you too."
