The Bachelorette Party
“I can’t believe it you're getting married.” Tara was laying on the king size bed, her back leaning against the headboard and feet crossed as she was sipping an alcoholic drink. Her first of many that night. “To Nate Ford, of all people” she added like that was strangest part of it.
“Hey, I was married to him once” Maggie glared at her as she came out of the bathroom and stood next to the brunette grifter standing in front of the mirror. They were both applying small details to their make-up.
“Are you sure you’re okay being here?” Sophie asked her again.
She and Maggie at become friends in the last couple of years, but still, it must be difficult to see you ex-spouse getting remarried to someone else.
“Of course I’m fine” the blonde rolled her eyes. “ I no longer have romantic feelings for Nate. He’s all yours. Good luck with it”
“Are you ready?” Parker exclaimed from out of nowhere.
“When did you get here?” Tara asked frowning. Actually she hadn't seen her leave either.
The thief just shrugged. “They guys are already out. They’re meeting one of Eliot’s old army buddy and his colleagues. They are some kind of cops.”
“Seriously? Nate is having is bachelor party with cops?” Tara finished her cocktail and got up from the bed. “I’m glad I’m not in that party”
“Is Peggy coming?” Sophie fixed her hair with her hands and then she turned around grabbing her purse.
“Nah,” Parker shook her head. “She said she was a bit scared of going out with us after the last time with a Girls’ night out. She’s coming to the wedding tomorrow with Hurley”.
Now Maggie was nervous. “Why? What happened the last time you were out?”
“We only saved Venezuela” Parker shrugged.
“And I had great sex” Tara smirked remembering that night. He hadn’t been bad, not bad at all.
“Have you ever seen him again after that night?” Sophie asked her friend. She wished she would decide to settle with someone too.
“One show only, baby”
Sophie sighed. “Well, let’s go. My last night as a free woman and I want to have fun”
“Hawaii, here we come!”
The morning after…
Sophie slowly woke up. Her head was killing her and she groaned in pain. It took her awhile to understand where she was, but most importantly what day it was.
Now fully awake she realized she had slept inside a bathtub in just her underwear. “Oh, what time is it?” she rushed outside the bathroom.
The penthouse was a mess. Maggie, Tara were sleeping in the king size bed, still fully clothed. It looked like they’ve passed out on top of it. She checked the clock on the nightstand.
“What?” she shrieked.
“Tone it down, girl” Tara mumbled her face hidden in the pillow.
“Tara, Maggie! Wake up! I’m getting married in under three hours and I’m a mess.”
“What?” Maggie finally woke up and lifted her head up. Then when her brain registered Sophie’s words, she bolted up like she had gotten a shot of adrenaline. “What happened last night? I … I can’t remember. We need to get read. If we don’t get you in time at the wedding, Nate will kill us”
She slapped Tara awake and the blonde finally got out of bed. “Where’s Parker?”
“I don’t know” Sophie started panicking. “Last night is a complete blackout. How much did we have to drink?”
“I don’t know”
Then Sophie hitter on the arm. “Why did you let me drink so much? I can’t go to my wedding with a hangover.”
“Hey” Tara replied offended. “ You said you wanted to have fun”
“Oh my God, Sophie” Maggie stared at her he hands covering her mouth. “Did you see you hip?”
“What?” Sophie turned her head back trying to get a glimpse of what Maggie had seen. Then she looked at herself in the mirror. Slightly hidden by her underwear was a tattoo. “How…?” she gasped.
“Did you get Nate’s name tattooed?” Tara smirked.
She did. Right on her hip, nearly on her behind, there was a Celtic knot with Nate’s name across it. “A tattoo? I got a tattoo? Why would I do something like that?”
“You said you wanted something special to express your love for Nate on your wedding day” Parker answered her.
“When did you get here?” Sophie blurted out. “And why aren’t you hangover?”
She shrugged. “I didn’t drink as much as you. By the way, you need to get ready. Oh,” she nodded at a tray with three glasses full of something strange and that smelled even worse. “Eliot said to drink that. It will help for your hangover symptoms.”
The three of them looked at each other and with a bit of courage the drank the awful mixture. They gagged nearly rushing to the toilette sick, but they managed to swallow it down.
“Hardison got you an appointment at the beauty spa. We need to rush there now. They will take care of everything. Hair, make up, making you look presentable. We will get dressed there too. Fortunately I’ve managed to save all the dressed before you threw them down the balcony.”
“What?” Sophie was still agitated. What else did she do? “Parker,” she quickly got dressed and they all walked outside towards the spa. “You need to tell me everything…”
“Well, first there was the club where you had three drinks, then the male stripper club. That was fun. You had another three drinks. Tara had four and she also danced with a stripper on stage”
“Hmm…” Tara smiled “was he cute?”
“I don’t know, but I've filmed it all with my phone. We went to the beach were Sophie and Maggie started singing. I got that on camera too. Hardison said he wants it all.”
“Over my dead body” Maggie muttered.
“What else did we do?”
“Well you got a tattoo, but you already know that. We nearly got arrested, but a girl named Kono came to rescue us. Apparently Eliot sent her. She was the one that took us back to the hotel.”
“How did I end up nearly naked in the bathtub?”
“You said you wanted a shower but then passed out so I just left you there”
They finally got to the spa and Sophie pleaded the ladies there to make her look good for her wedding.
“Well, at least it sounded more fun that our last girls’ night together”
“Believe me, I would take a bomb any day. You have no idea how my butt is killing me right now” Sophie winced in pain as she sat down.
