Pulling me up we stand in the middle of the room, after kissing me Charlie turns me around and I hunch over giving him access to continue as he please. Holding me by the hips he proceeds, the position is causing him to hit my spot so well making me moan even louder, which he likes. Charlie likes it when I'm loud.
Somehow we always end up on the floor with me on top, dropping against his chest we're both out of breath and tired "holy shit" he reacts with a small laugh "you're fucking amazing"
Picking up my head to look at him with a grin "you're not so bad yourself."

It's finally the night of Charlie and Camila's party, and after planing the entire thing you'd think I'd take the time to enjoy it, but I just can't. I stand back watching him interact with his friends. Charlie is so at home between them I mean it makes sense this is his environment, his apartment full of people drinking, smoking, and dancing to loud music.
As I stay out of the way I look over and see Monai walking in followed by Eve, a little worried I walk to Monai "hey" I greet her smiling.
"Adrian!" She hugs me "this is amazing I've never seen so many people in his apartment at once before, how'd you pull it off?"
"I'm still unsure" I reply, "I saw Eve come in with you."
"Oh yeah she asked if she could come with, apparently she didn't get an invite" Monai stares at me Sure I'm going to invite the girl who has actively tried to sleep with my boyfriend multiple times,
"can you blame me?"
"Not really but come on Adrian it's just Eve ok she means no real harm I promise." "If I see her anywhere near Charlie-"
"Yes yes you'll wreak havoc I know" she pats me on the back "go have fun I'll keep an eye on her."
I'm not much of a drinker but I think I'm going to need a couple drinks to get through tonight, as I'm in the kitchen making myself a drink. Charlie walks in with the biggest grin. "Babe I want you to meet someone" he stops in front of me and a guy stands next to him, "this is my old roommate when I lived in the dorms my first year, Adrian meet Skylar but we call him Moon, Moon this is my boyfriend Adrian."
"Nice to meet you" moon reaches out and I shake his hand. "You too"
"We haven't seen each other in like a year, Moon dropped out to chase mountains and shit," I stare at Charlie confused as he finishes his sentence.
Moon laughs correcting him, "no to climb mountains, are you drunk already?"
"Yeah probably" they laugh, "all right I'm gonna go talk to some other people, you ok in here?" "Oh yeah I'm great" maybe the sarcasm was too subtle because he takes me seriously, kissing me
before he leaves I watch him walk out of the kitchen with moon going back to the party.
The night progresses and everyone is having the time of their lives, Charlie and Camila are the centers of attention and I continue to do my best and act as if I'm having fun, but I guess Charlie sees right through it. "What's going on with you?" He leans in my ear asking
"Nothing's going on" I reply
"You wanna lie to me again?" He sees right through me "what's wrong with you Adrian?" "We can talk about it later, all your friends are here you should be having fun"
"Fuck these people all right, none of this is fun for me when you're standing here looking so fucking
miserable."
"I'm not miserable"
"Ok then what is it?!" He gets agitated
"You really want to know?" He nods "all right I guess this is as good a time as any."
Taking the beer from his hand I put it down and take his hand pulling him out of the apartment, "where are we going?"
"It's time for your birthday gift" I answer as he holds my hand and I drag him towards the stairs "Ooooh ok" Charlie gets excited "you know I really wanted to try that new meatball sub from
Marti's, I heard it's supposed to be like really spicy."
Stopping before we get outside I turn to him "you think I got you a meatball sandwich for your birthday?"
"Uh nope of course not" he lies, shaking my head I walk outside and he follows. We stand in front of each other and he asks with a smile
"so where's my gift?" I gesture for him to turn around but he doesn't, "what?"
"Jesus turn around, Charlie" he does and I watch his expression, he still doesn't know what he's looking for so I say "happy 22nd birthday I got you a car" I drop the key in his hand.
He stares at the car on the curb in front of his building, stunned he turns to me "a car?" I nod "this car?" He points walking towards it "holy shit!" He walks around the car admiring it "it's fucking beautiful! Are you insane?"
"I must be" I watch his reaction
"Adrian an Audi?" He looks at me, after taking a moment he walks back to me "this is an amazing gift... but I can't accept it" he hands the key back.
"I know"
"You know? Why aren't you surprised that I'm not taking it?" "Because I knew you wouldn't."
"Why would you buy me something you knew I wouldn't accept?" He asks confused
"I didn't know you weren't going to take it when I was buying it, whatever it doesn't matter. It really hurts knowing that I'm in a relationship with someone who will never accept anything from me beside sex and food. I'm rich, Charlie! I have loads of money I didn't earn and I can buy literally whatever I want, I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable or you can't accept it."
