Hey everyone!

I know it's been a while, but here's an update.

Let us know what you think!

The next morning rolled around and Cheryl had been up since 7am, she sat on the balcony until Tabitha woke up two hours later.

'Morning,' Tabitha said, her voice groggy. 'How you feeling?'

'Like shit,' the redhead groaned. 'I feel kind of bad, I hope Ashleigh wasn't too hard on Toni'.

'Fuck her. She's a loser anyway'. Tabitha took a seat across from the redhead, 'are you looking forward to the spa?'

'I'm not-'

'Yes you are!' Tabitha interrupted.

'No I'm not. I've already messaged Kevin, we're going shopping'.

Tabitha sat back in her seat, she knew there was no point in arguing, Cheryl had already made up her mind.

'Are you still going?' Cheryl asked, trying to seem more interested in her phone than her best friend.

'Yeah of course. I'm desperate to see the damage that was caused last night'.

Cheryl rolled her eyes with a smirk, 'always with the drama'.

'You know I love it,' Tabitha said and Cheryl laughed.

'I know you do'.

Tabitha met up with the girls in the lobby, she tightened her lips hiding her smirk as she saw Ashleigh's hand wrapped tightly around Toni's, her eyes obviously wandering for her girlfriends ex.

'Where's Cheryl?' Veronica asked.

'She's gone shopping with Kevin, so it's just me,' Tabitha said. 'Where's the boys?'

'Go karting,' Betty answered.

'It's all Sweet Pea could talk about this morning,' Josie added.

Tabitha smiled, 'boys and their toys'.

Betty nodded with a smile of her own as she thought about her soon to be husband.

'I would have thought that was more your scene Toni,' Tabitha said getting the brunettes attention. 'Cheryl said you used to love your motorcycle and her car'.

Tabitha didn't miss Ashleigh's white knuckles as she squeezed her hand tighter around Toni's.

'Yeah, she would definitely rather be there,' Veronica said before laughing.

'No, I wanted to do this,' Toni said looking at her girlfriend with a forced smile.

'Let's go,' Betty said when things seemed to be getting awkward.

After their massages the girls were relaxing in the sauna, it had actually been bearable in Tabitha's opinion and that was simply because Ashleigh barely spoke.

'So has Cheryl and Kevin gone shopping for anything in particular?' Veronica asked.

'I don't know if I should say,' Tabitha said and the girls fell straight into her hands.
