Suck it up Lover - Nick Fowler AU

Part 12

"What's the celebration here?" interrupted Dorton's voice, which was boisterous for the workplace.

"It's Mr. Butterfinger's birthday!" exclaimed Megan to her boss before shoving another bite of chocolate cake between her jaws.

"Happy birthday Mr. Fowler.", with a handshake Dorton congratulated Nick who now also wore a party hat just like the others, "I have good news for all of you. Because there is currently no further evidence in the women's case and there is currently no new case scheduled for your team, you all have a 10 day vacation. Rest well and we'll see you again in early October," he added.

A cry of joy escaped from each one when Dorton broke the news, all of them were in dire need of a vacation.

"Then let's move the party?" suggested Josh to the others.

"And where should we move it?", Daniel countered him.

"To our regular bar, of course!" exclaimed Lexie who was already slipping into her leather jacket.

Megan had started gathering the paper plates and plastic cups in the office as soon as she heard the suggestion.

Today was a party day, the mood within the team was relaxed and they were having a lot of fun in the last hour, so Megan wanted to continue.

"I have to go home first, I can't go to a bar dressed like this. You guys can go ahead and I'll catch up with you."

"Alright Buttercup!", Nick called out to her as he was cleaning up his desk while dancing.

Just before Megan left the office she turned back, "Is it a problem if I take Regina with me? I'm sure I can't shake her off at home?" she asked the group.

"Sure, I don't think that would be a problem for anyone here, and knowing Regina, she'll add some extra spice to the party," Lexie answered her, ready to leave the office just as Megan was.

Together they took the elevator down, each armed with a black trash bag.

"See you in an hour, can you make it?", Lexie asked her friend as she was about to throw the garbage bag into one of the designated containers.

"If traffic cooperates, it shouldn't be a problem," she smiled.

Lexie and Megan said goodbye to each other before they each headed in the opposite direction.

Megan had been lucky and managed to hail a cab on the first try. Already on the way home she wrote Regina a message so that she knew about today's plan and could already go to the bathroom.

"GinGin I'm home! Are you there?" she shouted through the apartment when she arrived home.
From Regina's bathroom she heard music and she heard her friend answering something but she didn't really understand it, she just assumed that Regina had shouted something like "I'll be quick!" or something like that.

After the long day, she got out of her work outfit and quickly jumped into the shower to get fresh.

As usual, she was already planning her outfit in the shower while the hot water was splashing down on her naked body.

In contrast to the makeup she wore at work, today she opted for a slightly darker eye makeup in rich brown tones and a matte lipstick in a strong rosewood tone.

She parted her black hair in the middle and tied it in a small chignon at the nape of her neck, in order not to look too strict she plucked out some strands with her fingers that framed her face.

She quickly slipped into her favorite dress which was a short black chiffon dress with white dots and balloon sleeves. She loved the dress, it was sexy but not too sexy and above all it was comfortable.
