Cora

What happened to the Blaine I met?  He hasn't wiped that smile off his face in weeks, and that stone-cold look is gone.  He is taking shots with my brother and his friends while shooting pool.  I'm about to open gifts and I really hope it doesn't get too awkward.  Well, the fact that Jessica dragged Isabella to the party isn't helping either. 

The music cut off and Jessica yelled at everyone to be quiet.  "Blaine, come sit with Cora so you can see her gifts!" She yelled.  It didn't take long for him to sit down and pull me onto his lap. 

The first gift was  skimpy lingerie and Blaine said it was cute, but it wouldn't stay on long.  Eli and his friends scrunched their noses and we all laughed.  I've known these guys since preschool, so it is kind of funny. 

The next one I opened was a dildo.  "You won't be needing that!" He tossed it to the side and, again, we all laughed. 

All the self-pleasing gag gifts were pretty much tossed to the side.  There were a few pieces of lingerie he said we would be keeping, but this butt won't be fitting into them any time soon.  Even Sully made a comment about Blaine's carefree attitude, saying its been a long time coming. 

The music came back on and everyone went back to drinking.  I sat and watched with pure jealousy, it's so not fair.  Even Isabella is letting loose, but I'm left to babysit.  Blaine wasn't too bad, he left my side a few times, but he kept trying to talk me into letting him in the bathroom when I had to pee.  It's the first time I've actually seen him borderline drunk. The first time was just him trying to kill the pain of losing his sister.

Blaine was standing behind me with his arms around me while we watched Sully and Eli throw darts, when the doorbell ring.  There was commotion, and I heard Blaine curse under his breath. 

"What?" I asked, and he shook his head, then laughed when I saw a cop and a nurse. 

"No fucking way," I said.

"Yes way, it's your party." Jessica laughed as she pulled me to a chair. 

"No!  It's too awkward!" I laughed as some dude that doesn't look half as good as the man I am marrying danced around me.  I tried to run to Blaine, and he laughed and said, "Hell, No!" I guess he doesn't appreciate naked men dancing around him or something. 

While I had stranger danger hanging in front of my face, I saw Blaine running from a half-naked nurse.  "My almost wife is right there!" He was pointing at me.

"Just let her, Blaine!" I laughed at his attempt to escape a lap dance. 

He came over and pulled me up, only to sit me on his lap.  Of course, it was the pregnant sober lady that got the damn lap dance as he hid his face behind me. 

I gave up and lifted my arms and acted like I was dancing. "You're enjoying this?" He yelled into my ear over the music. 

"No, but everybody has a job," I yelled back, and he laughed as I played along on his lap. 

"Get your fucking junk away from me." I heard from behind me and saw the male stripper back away, so I busted out laughing.  It wasn't long before they moved away from us, and the guy got Isabella, and the nurse got Sully. 

"There might be some relationship problems after tonight." He laughed.  That's when I figured out Sully's wife wasn't drinking and she's also pregnant.  I laid back against Blaine's chest as he joked around with his friends.  There is no other place in this world that is more relaxing than in his arms.  I shut my eyes just for a bit.

"Hey, are you alright?" He asked.

I nodded.  "Yeah, you're just comfortable."

He kissed the top of my head.  "Just think, this time tomorrow we'll be married."

I curled up into his arms.  "I can't wait."

Everything died down once the strippers left, and everyone sat around and started talking while I didn't budge from his lap.

"Story time." Jessica handed me another water, then gave Blaine another shot and a beer.

"Oh, God." I groaned. 

"What's wrong, are you hiding some deep dark secrets?" Blaine asked, and my friends all laughed.

"Ah shit, believe me Blaine, you don't want to hear this shit." Eli groaned.

The girls all started laughing about the last time we went down memory lane.

"Hey, who is your priest tomorrow?" One of them asked, and Jessica busted out laughing.

"What does a priest have to do with this?" Blaine is clueless.

"Cover your ears!" Eli yelled. 

"Absolutely, nothing!" I defended.

"Your soon to be wife got suspended for making out with a priest under the bleachers!" Jessica laughed. 

"A priest?" Blaine questioned in disbelief.

"He wasn't a priest at the time, dammit." I again defended myself. 

"It also wasn't just making out!" Natalie laughed.

"That's enough of this story!" I tried to shut them down.

"Cora, what did you do?" Blaine teased.

"She was having oral with Father Ashberry!" Drunk Darla laughed.

"You what???" Blaine's eyes about popped out of his head.

"For the love of God, it was Ben Ashberry, and I had no idea he was going to be a priest!" I once again defended.

"He baptised my children." Darla said like she is mortified.

"Oh my God!  My wife is going to hell!" Blaine laughed.

"For your information, I graduated a virgin." I said.

"What kind of virgin gets ate out by a priest?" Natalie asked, and both Eli and Blaine groaned at what they just heard. 

I looked at him.  "I swear, I only did it with two guys before you!"

Of course everyone laughed. 

"A priest, Cora?" He teased me.

"Yeah, his mom thought Cora was the devil and pulled Ben out of school.  Everyone found out she was getting it on with Ben Ashberry." She said.

"I didn't know and I was fine not knowing!" Eli said, and Blaine laughed. 

"Me too!" Blaine said.

"Don't forget Donnie Gallo.  How did he wreck his car again?" Drunk Natalie asked.

I covered my face in embarrassment and everyone laughed.

"I thought she was a virgin. If I would have known, I would killed that guy," Eli said.

"It was just a blow job." Jessica tried to defend me, but it's not helping.

"Damn, are you over this fixation of oral sex or what?" Blaine asked, and once again everyone laughed at my expense. 

"Damn, dude." Eli scrunched his nose and groaned. 

Again, what happened to that bashful guy I once met?

It was only quiet for a moment.  "A priest, Cora?" Blaine asked again, and everyone busted out laughing.

"Back then, he was just Ben, an eighteen-year-old kid.  I had no idea he wanted to be a priest." I said.

"I thought priests were virgins," Blaine said, just like Eli did once.

I hid my face again.  "He wasn't a virgin!  Someone else popped that cherry long before me!" I said, and noticed even Isabella is laughing.

"It's Blaine's turn, I deserve a story after that one!" I tried to change the subject.

"Damn, my wife is going to hell." He teased again.
