"I'm not wearing this."

"Here's the thing though, you are." Katie shouted through the closed bedroom door of her house, Tatum refusing to let her in whilst she put on her costume.

Tatum had travelled over for a few nights, intending to spend Halloween cuddled up on the couch with Katie, probably with Ella there too, and then go off to bed and have sex with Scream playing in the background. But that plan quickly went down the toilet when Katie blabbed to Beth that Tatum was coming over, and the blonde quickly decided to throw a Halloween party, costumes included.

Tatum had stomped her feet knowing her plan had gone down the toilet, but Katie had quickly earned forgiveness with the picture she sent her that night that she told her. She earned forgiveness for anything and everything with that picture.

It now sat in a password protected folder on Tatum's phone.

Katie had also advised Tatum that she would take care of costumes and buy her KFC for lunch the next day.

Tatum knew she shouldn't have trusted her to pick the costumes.

Which brings us to now. Tatum standing in front of Katie's full length mirror, glaring at her reflection, and Katie outside the bedroom door convincing Tatum that she is in fact wearing that costume tonight.

Turns out, Katie had been giving her hints all along by saying they'll get KFC for lunch. Because Tatum currently stood there as the good Colonel Sanders himself, with a white button shirt , red Apron, bow tie, and white beard and moustache stuck on her face. She looked down at herself, frowning at the white pants and black shoes she was currently sporting. "Gross."

"Come on now, let me in will you." Katie said from the other side of the door.

Tatum rolled her eyes and moved to the door, unlocking it and pulling it open, glaring at the girl when she took one look at her and started laughing.

"You look...you look great, sweetheart." Katie forced out through laughter.

"I look like a nonce." Tatum spat out, only making Katie laugh harder. "Halloween is meant to be scary, the only thing I'll be scaring is kids!"

Katie carried on laughing, it only increasing when Ella came out of her room and joined in. Tatum used this time to look at Katie's costume, literally just white shorts, white shoes, and a top with a chicken on it and some feathers around her waist.

Worst couples costume, ever.

"I hate this."

"I think it's the best you ever looked TK." Ella said, holding up her hand in an okay sign.

"Don't encourage her!"

This back and forth continued for a few minutes, the two girls teasing Tatum.

"Right, pipe down now. Let's go get pissed, yeah?" Katie spoke, biting the inside of her cheeks as Tatum continued to glare at her. Tatum didn't respond but did leave the room and head towards the stairs. "Good lad."

"Good lad." Tatum imitated. "Fuck off."

"Woah, the Barcelona's resident Pedo is here." Was the first thing Beth shouted once she got a look at Tatum as the two walked into their house.

"Carry on, honestly." Tatum mumbled, walking straight to the kitchen and grabbing herself a beer.

"Woah-"

"Don't." Tatum held her hand up to stop Leah mid sentence as the blonde walked into the kitchen with a smile. "You got off easy. Fucking soldier? Easy, nice. I look like a nonce, I know."
