I waved mouse off, him totally unaware of the kilts I'd swapped for all his jeans, he deserved it, and he should be, being who he was, supporting the local fashion..., it was half seven at night, when he got to the door he turned to me "early night?" "Yup" I was still, so mad, but he was referring to my big fluffy dressing gown wrapped around me tightly "still full face of makeup?" "Not had time to take it off" "right....well I'll see you in about a week then" "yup!" "Bye then" "bye" he kissed me on the cheek before closing the door behind him, I ran to the window, watched him drive into the main road and disappear "he's gone" I shouted upstairs as Meg ran down with whip "has he gone gone?" "He has!" I pulled off my dressing gown revealing a jumpsuit, beige shorts and a black lace top "wow i suddenly feel all old and ugly- oh and now you're putting on those spikey heels! Oh and there we go there's the red lipstick, for god sake Charlie you're not allowed to look like that at forty!" Whip stood there next to me looking at Meg "are we done?" "...yes...no, how the hell have you kept your legs looking like that! I mean how on this green earth do yo-" "go wear that red dress...." "And your bloody hair, that red curly bastard ....wait what?" "The red dress you've been talking about for weeks and those heels that match it" "the ones with the metal chains over the heels?" "Yes" "the YSL dress..." "The very one" I didn't have to say it twice for her to run up the stairs "can you-" "yes i will! Now go sort my wife out!" I nodded and ran upstairs to find Meg, arms in the air, dress stuck around her head...no bra...thankfully she had pants "Charlie....I hope to god that's you" "what the hell are you doing?" "Im stuck Charlie!" "Well yes caption obvious! I meant what happened" "it's too small" she cried through the material "did you unzip it?" "It had a zip?" "My god Meg" I slipped my hand up the back of the dress and fondled the zip, avoiding her hair I unzipped it slowly and the dress dropped over her head "I can breath!" I zipped her back up "spoke to soon, my god that's tight!" "Hold on" I fiddled with the dress and it soon fell into place "shoes, sit, I'll do your makeup" "ok" she nodded at me as she sat down carefully in her shoes as I attacked her face with the brush.
We walked down, linking arms, Meg claimed it was because she loved me, in reality...she couldn't walk downstairs in heels. The party had started, people had arrived and the music blasting, the garden and pool were lit up with fairy lights and hundreds of candles, whip greeted us with Spence by his side, both holding two drinks "my god..." They gawped at us "I'm the luckiest man alive even just to be friends with two gorgeous women like you" as Megan went weak at the knees someone caught my eye "Charlie you alright?" Meg turned to me when she didn't see me smiling after the comment "that's....that's..." I tried to point my shaking hand to the man in the plaid shirt and ripped jeans stood across the hall talking to my daughter and holding my grandchild in his arms "Charlie you're making NO sense!" "THATS LUKE BRYAN!" I shrieked as I covered my mouth quickly "hold my beer!" I passed it to Megan as I walked over to summer "hey sweet how's my...my...." "Mum you're drooling stop being embarrassing" "hey I'm Luke" I suddenly heard a voice behind me "oooooooh I know" I whispered in a very low, VERY low tone, I spun around to see him stood there, holding baby, holding out his hand "we don't shake hands here, we hug!" "Fine by me" he chuckled as he pulled me in, that strong arm, wrapped around my body, I could peak over the top of his shoulder to see Megan sniggering and whip snapping some photos "I don't want to sound rude but, wh-" "he's here because I invited him" "how do you know Luke?!" "I know people mum...and He performs in my club, country theme Thursday's?!" "Ooooooo" I nodded as I could feel my daughter dying of embarrassment "okay well....I'm off to go mingle and crash drinks so I'll catch you guys later!" I bowed, I don't know why, neither did summer, or my grandchild....I just walked away, slipping in the heels, let's face it I made a total prat of myself.
About three hours later, let's say the alcohol had gone to my head, Jake following me around pulling the hem of my dress down whenever it kept riding up until I stopped walking when a familiar face came over towards me "RYAN!" "Mum....oh shit" "language!" I slurred slightly "that's Ryan Reynolds, you're Ryan Reynolds!" He looked at me before back at summer "last time I checked!" "DEADPOOL!" She shrieked as she covered her mouth "oh yeah and I'm the embarrassing one...see your mother knows people too" I looked at her "where's lucie?" "Thomas is putting her to bed....so Ryan..." "Yes you can touch them" he grinned, my eyes widened "you'd better mean your abs and nothing else" "well if you're offering I wouldn't say n-" he caught my eye as summer held out her hands, slowly ran her fingers up his chest "ooooooh hello" she gasped as she suddenly became still "Thomas....hello" "I'm gone for three minutes and you're feeling up Ryan Reynolds have you no control" he chuckled at her as she snatched her hands away.
I had no clue what time it was, when suddenly my phone began to ring.....mouse...."GUYS EVERYONE QUIET!" The music got paused and everyone went silent "Michael?" 'Just about to get my second plane thought I'd let you know' "great thanks...." Suddenly someone sneezed 'that was a man sneeze' "it was meg" 'Charlie who you got over there...' "No one" 'don't lie to me' "it's Jensen....and jared....and Jake" 'jake huh' "yes and we're going to have a hot foursome in every it of our house" 'Charlie you're not funny' "who says I'm joking" "I'm up for it!" Jake raised his hand before I punched his arm "text me when you land" 'hmmm fine, have a nice time, love you' "ditto" we both hung up the phone as I looked around the room "ok guys party is back on!" I raised my hands in the air as cheers echoed around the house, when Jesse and jared found me "threesome huh?!" "....yeah...." "I mean hell you're hot as hell, and I'm sure the Mrs wouldn't mind we are all friends here...but I refuse to sleep with that giant" "gee J thanks so much for that short ass" jared burst out into hysterics as Jensen jumped on him and talked him outside to throw him into the jacuzzi, except there were no jacuzzi there, but a hell of a lot of bubble, a mountain of them, "who's put soap in the jacuzzi!?" Suddenly whippets head appeared in the mass of bubbles, closely followed by megs "I'm not even gonna ask!" I rolled my eyes as I walked back inside to the party.
