Skyline of concrete dreams- SwanQueen

Chapter 15

Preparations for the party are on full speed. There are only couple of days left and despite being the one organizing the whole thing, Emma is caught unprepared.

"What do you mean you don't have a dress?" Ruby calls in despair and Emma immediately plasters a hand on her friend's mouth to muffle the noise.

Someone from the back rows yells shush.

"Are you going to behave?" Emma asks in a low, warning tone, as her hand remains on the brunette's face. Ruby sends a murderous look her way, but relents after a couple more seconds and nods in surrender. "Good," she points her finger "let the poor people watch the movie"

"What movie, Em? This is Magic Mike, there is no plot line, just abs and dicks"

Emma rolls her eyes at the crudeness "Language!" she chastises, already fed up with this conversation.

"What are you? Granny?"

Emma shakes her head and turns back to the screen. A second later, a full size Ruby blocks her view "Tomorrow we're buying you a dress"

"Fine" she tries to push her away "Jesus, Rubs, take a mint"

Ruby pokes her tongue out but backs off, nonetheless. "Shut up"

That's the moment when the woman from the back row has had enough "Would you shut up already? We're trying to watch"

And Ruby, who had finally quieted down, deems it important enough to shout a response.

"Oh, go and masturbate in front of porn and leave us the fuck alone"

"Ruby, shut it," Emma whispers angrily "they're gonna kick us out"

"Let's see them try"

"How about this one?"

"No, Ruby. Too revealing. I need something classic, it's a work event"

"But sexy," Ruby counters quickly "you need a dress that will make this guy you crush on realize what an idiot he is."

Emma swallows thickly and says nothing in return. She does, though, agree with Ruby about the whole jaw-dropping thing. She needs to make Regina's eyes ball out.

"This one?" Ruby asks as she lifts a hanger, pulling Emma out of her head.

"Show me the back"

Ruby turn the dress around and Emma gasps "That's the one!"

"Good," her friend smiles excitedly "now heels"

"Heels?" Emma protests with a pout "I don't want h-"

"Heels!" Ruby raises her voice enough to go over Emma's and displays her no-nonsense expression.

"Fine"

On Friday morning, Emma, Regina, Kathryn and Mary Margaret find themselves at the Four Seasons function hall.

Large square tables are scattered all around the room, leaving space for the stage and main dance floor. On the tables are placed large vases filled with white and purple flowers, the silverware beautifully packed with silver and white napkins, and the chairs padded with cream colored fabric. There are two large buffet tables on both sides of the room and one glass bar right between them, in the middle of the room and in close proximity to the dance floor.
