🔞5EX: SUSTAINED OBLITERATION🔞

Another wedding

Syd pov

"You look incredible Weeze, stop stressing. Calm down, take some deep breaths and relax, it's going to be the most amazing day." I tell her gently, continuing to button the tiny seed pearls at her back.

"But I look like a whale!" She whines, turning to look at her side profile in the floor length mirror, a look of utter revulsion on her beautifully rounded face.
She turns to look at me directly and holds my waist with a heavy sigh.

"I used to have one of these." she huffs, running her hands over my abdomen and I can't help but stifle a giggle.

"You still do, idiot, but right now your body is creating magic, growing a life. Your waist is still there, just a little......... erm....... less obvious!" I tell her with a chuckle at the way she pouts.
She complains that this isn't the way she saw her wedding being, never expected to be seven months pregnant and almost 15kg heavier when she walked down the aisle, all eyes on her, to marry the man of her dreams.
The thought of all those eyes on her while she feels so vulnerable makes her stomach turn over and shes terrified she'll have to leave mid proceedings to pee, 'jellybean' as she's been calling her bump clearly having  inherited uncle Jimmis talent for dance and using her bladder as its stage!

"That's why I'm so happy I'll have you there beside me, hopefully everyone will be looking at you instead. Thankyou for sharing this special day with me." She says, looking back at her reflection and shrugging her shoulders.

"Not too shabby I guess." She announces, then turns to me with an excited smile.

"Let's get you ready now then, shall we? Turn around." She indicates I spin with a twirl of her hand and I do, pulling my loose hairs over one shoulder to make it easier for her to zip up my dress and put the beautiful necklace that I'd been gifted by Yanni last night at dinner around my neck.
It is platinum, to represent the sales success of his albums and my book, has a tiny diamond encrusted microphone charm to represent him, and a gorgeous platinum pen charm to represent me.
I love it!
It's a little cheesy, but the thought that he put into it moves me and I'm again as emotional as I was when he gave it to me infront of all our friends.
Wiping a tear from the corner of my eyes before it has a chance to spill onto my face and ruin my make-up I'm about to speak when there is a heavy knock at the door, surprising both me and Eloise.
I make her sit down and head for the door, finding a grinning Jimmi and Laura on the other side.
We hug and they come in, poor Eloise is still attempting to sit herself down comfortably so Laura gives her a hand after squealing at how great I look.

"You ladies look phenomenal! Absolutely stunning....... but not a patch on my girl!" he giggles, then sighs loudly while clutching at his heart dramatically.

"Well, Thankyou Jimmi...... I think?!" I laugh, and he hugs me tightly, kissing my cheek.

This man has come to mean so much to me in the last two years. After Yanni he is my best male friend, and will always have a special place in my heart.
He met Amelie when the group were performing in Paris while touring Europe. She's 23, very attractive and 'perfectly Parisian'. She is classy, stylish and full of 'Joie de vivre', enjoying all life's simple pleasures. She is a business student and has a gay best friend, Freddie, who is English, and they both love 5EX!
Amelie and Freddie were drinking in a bar after seeing their first ever 5EX show, dissecting it and fawning over their favourite members when the guys entered the bar for a post show drink. The rest as they say, is history.
Their eyes met, he smiled, she approached and told him she thought he was the most amazing singer shed ever heard. They've been almost inseparable in the last few months, Amelie helping Jimmi start his foundation to assist those in need of support with gender reassignment, whether that be emotional or financial. They really are a perfect couple and she's made Jimmi so happy. I love her for that alone, he really deserves a happy carefree life. He is working closely with Teddi and Parker in the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring support for those in desperate circumstances because of their sexuality. What a shame they can't be here, they are in the Middle East lobbying for gay rights. So brave!
Im snapped from my reverie by Jimmis jovial tone filling the room.

"Right, well now! I'm here to fulfil my role of bridal escort, taking you to meet your doom at the altar, handing you over to your fate, sending you off to......." he licks my palm as I place my hand over his mouth to halt the speech and I kick his shin. We are behaving like warring siblings and Eloise isn't impressed, snapping at us to grow up and behave, and we instantly fall silent, but continue to pull faces at one another when we think nobody is looking.

We all take a final look in the mirror and once we are happy with our reflections we leave the room and head to the ballroom, Eloise arm in arm with Jimmi, me with Laura.

"So, Mrs Cooper, how's the new job going?" I ask, rubbing her arm with a grin.

She had resigned her role with the MET six months ago after Noah was sentenced for his part in my kidnapping. She felt conflicted, remaining in law enforcement and being married to a convicted criminal.
The boys management company hired her to be their new head of security. It actually helped get Noah's sentence reduced from 3 years in jail to the same but under house arrest, the judge feeling that an officer of the law would be a perfect person to monitor his compliance with his restrictions.

"It's been an eye opener, and very different than what I'm used to, but I'm enjoying the challenge, plus I get to spend my time seeing the world with my hot husband. What's not to like?" She smiles ruefully.

"I know how much you miss the police Laura, I'm sorry that......"

She places her finger over my lips and shakes her head.

"I did not leave the police because of you Syd. I mean, yes, seeing what those animals did to you...... helped me make up my mind..... anyway, let's not discuss this todày, right?!" She smiles as we reach our destination.
