Drinkin' with the wife an' her daddy [quietlikehim] & [cantbewithhim]

[delmar_heir]

Mark drove to the liquor store behind Ennis' truck, whoopin' an' hollerin' and generally making a fool of himself, listening to the beautiful sound of tin cans trailing behind them. He knew he was tailgating poor Mr. del Mar, but he couldn't help it, this was exciting! Mark Hammel had done it, he'd taken a wife. There weren't nothing better than

Junior was giggling as she watched her new husband (!) as he whooped and hollered. There was no denying that he was excited and she was too, it was rubbing off on her. She couldn't hide the big smile on her mouth as she glanced back at the tin cans that were trailing, flying and rolling over each other behind the truck. She couldn't believe it either, she had taken a husband and now she was a Missus. Missus Hammel.

"We should get some whiskey, we downed most of his the other night." She giggled. Then she slid across the seat, sliding her arms around his neck as she leaned in and kissed the spot behind his ear. "I love you, Mr. Hammel."

God, she was getting a kick out of that.

[delmar_heir]

"Y'know, I always was Mr. Hammel, you just ne'r bothered t'call me that," he joked, turning to kiss her on the mouth.

There weren't nothing better than this.

[quietlikehim]

"No, you didn't get to be Mr. Hammel till you had a Missus Hammel." She teased, returning the kiss before sliding back a bit. She didn't want to get them a ticket of some sorts on their wedding day.

She waited till they got to the liquor store and parked, then she was practically flying out of the seat. She was giddy! Sliding out of the truck, she bounced over to her father's truck. "What kind of beer do you want, Daddy?"

[cantbewithhim]

"What kinda beer?" he echoed, confused as he climbed out of his truck. "Reckon St. Pauli Girl is fine 'nough."

[delmar_heir]

"I figured I could buy ya a six pack, Mr. del Mar, fer helpin' us out an'all."

Mark beamed, dragging Alma into the store before Ennis could say another word (not that he would've).

[quietlikehim]

Junior nodded as her daddy told her what kind of beer he wanted, then she grabbed her husband's hand and ran inside with him.

Finding the beer first, she then went and looked for whiskey before meeting Mark at the counter. "Do we have everything?" Then she nudged him, "Smokes, we need smokes."

[delmar_heir]

Setting two bags of champagne on the counter he nodded, signaling the cashier for a few packs of cigarettes.

"We just got married," he said, a little jittery as he started digging for cash in his wallet.

The cashier rang them out quickly with a raise of his eyebrow, not seeming to care much about it.

[quietlikehim]

She giggled as he told the cashier that they had gotten married. Taking some of the alcohol, she walked back outside and reached into a bag before tossing a pack of smokes at her dad.

"So where are we drinking?" She tilted her head, glancing between the men.

[cantbewithhim]

Ennis shrugged.

"I told a friend she could come, if tha's alright," he said, glancing at his shoes. "An' I reckon we could drink at th'trailer less ya got somethin' else in mind."

[quietlikehim]

"Sure, that's alright with me." She glanced at Mark to make sure but she didn't think that he would have a problem either. Moving to put the alcohol in the back seat, she nodded.

"Sounds good to me. Follow you out there?" She asked her dad even as she slid down into the passenger seat of Mark's car.

[cantbewithhim]

"Naw, I'll go pick 'er up. Meet you back at th'trailer, alright?"

And with that, Ennis was gone.

[delmar_heir]

Mark blinked, watching the dust of Ennis' truck fly at his windshield.

"Thought you said he don't got a girlfriend?" he asked, shifting the car into gear and taking off towards Ennis' trailer. "You got keys or somethin'?"

[quietlikehim]

"He doesn't." Junior watched the father's truck fly away as she shook her head lightly and then she smiled over at Mark.

Buckling herself in, she nodded, "I do, he gave me one awhile ago." Settling back, she brushed her fingers through her loose curls, "So are you happy we did it finally, baby?"

She just hoped he didn't regret eloping.

[delmar_heir]

"A'course," he said with a bemused glance at her. "S'all I ever wanted."

[quietlikehim]

"Yanno that makes you crazy, right?" She laughed softly, toying with the hem of her dress as it rested against her knee.

[delmar_heir]

"I know it makes me crazy fer you," he said in a little sing-song voice, following the pattern of so many talks previous.

He pulled onto Ennis' road, leaving enough room for the man's pick-up before killing the engine and grabbing the champagne and beer.
