(Piper's POV)

"I can't believe you're actually going to marry Supercunt Pipe. She cheated on you then broke up with you for God's sake!" Polly scolds me yet again.

Polly, Zelda and I were in a bridal store in New York where I was in the process of trying on yet another wedding dress in the changing room as Polly harps on at me for what I can only assume is around the tenth time about her reservations with me marrying Alex.

"Polly." I state in a warning tone.
"I'm just saying Pipe." She says and I reappear from the changing room, dropping my arms in defeat.
"I feel like a meringue." I sigh.
The dress I was wearing looked nice on the mannequin but definitely not on me.
It was tight fitting with lace at the top then had netting at the bottom that spread into a meringue shape.
"Well, meringue's delicious. Think of it that way." Zelda says, trying to reassure me.
I flopped onto a nearby seat, my dress making a 'floof' sound as I do so, putting my face into my hands.
"This is my wedding day you guys not some gala. I want Alex to think I'm beautiful when she sees me walk down the aisle. Wherever the hell that aisle may be. And this dress is not my dress."
Polly and Zelda come to sit at either side of me, Polly rubbing my back in support.
"As much as I may hate her, any idiot can tell she thinks you're beautiful. She truly loves you Pipe. She's about to marry you for the second time, I mean hello? She'll think you're beautiful in anything and if I know Alex, my best guess would be she'd prefer it if you just walked down the aisle naked or wearing lingerie." Polly says.
I chuckle.
"She'd have a field day with that. It sounds like one of her wet dreams she told me about recently actually. Although she might have something to say about Zelda here and the rest of our guests seeing me naked."
"Okay gross Pipe, didn't need to know what Supercunt's wet dreams entail even if it is you starring in them." Polly says in disgust.
I give her the side eye then Zelda's phone buzzes and she grins before typing out a response and quickly putting it away.
"Okay, should we get back to dress shopping?" She asks, clapping her hands together and getting up.
"Fine." I sigh.

I really did need to pick a dress soon.
Our wedding was in three days.
Alex was getting fitted for a suit today as well and I couldn't wait to see her in it.
I've always found Alex so sexy in a suit and I bet she'd already found one.
Unlike me and my luck dress shopping.
I'd already tried on a wide, flowing dress that had a plunging neckline with two shoulder straps, minimal meringue and lace sewn into the material.
I didn't it once I was wearing it.
Then there was the dress that had similar material, was loose fitting and had straps that wrapped around my upper arm, kind of like a boat neck.
The bust was too big.
Then there was the completely strapless one, with diamonds and lace around the bust with wide netting.
But again the bust was too big and there was nothing to keep it on me so it kept sliding down.
Then there was the one I was currently trying on.
Again, a dud.

We were back to scouring through the options when from across the store, I heard Polly shout,
"What about this one?!"
I stop my search and look up to see her holding up the dress she'd found and it looked phenomenal but so did the various others I'd tried on.
Plus, looking at it from across the store was no good.
I needed to see it up close.
I needed to wear it.
When Zelda and I get to Polly, my first thought is confirmed, it's a phenomenal dress.
It had thin spaghetti straps across the shoulders, a plunging back that went all the way down to my back and the entire dress was made of lace and silk.
It was also a tight fit with a slight train.
"Polly, if this fits, I'll love you forever." I exclaim excitedly and carry it immediately off to the changing room.
It fits me like a glove.
So I decided to show them.
"It's the one." I grin.
Polly tears up a little and Zelda smiles.
"Oh Pipe you look beautiful!" Polly practically sobs.
"If you wanted to look beautiful for her then this is definitely the one Piper." Zelda smiles.
I grin back at them both.
"Thank you."
Then I turn back to the changing room to get back into my everyday clothes and go pay for my dress.
The store owner puts it in a zipped full length protection bag, still on the hanger and hands it to me saying,
"You'll make a beautiful bride."
"Thank you." I smile at her and the three of us leave the store.
I was so happy.
My dress was perfect.
I look up to thank them both for coming with me today when my eyes land only on Polly.
"Where did Zelda go?" I ask her.
"She got a text from Nicky and went off to meet her." She tells me.

Huh?
Zelda and Nicky?
That's a weird thought.
I mean how? When? Why?
Nicky was supposed to be helping Alex pick and tailor her wedding suit as her best woman.
Which brings me back to why was she meeting Zelda?
So I decide to go to the store Alex and supposedly Nicky was in and find Alex at the cashier's desk paying for her now covered suit, contained in a protective bag like mine.
She turns to see who'd just walked in the store and when she sees me grins and says,
"Oh hey babe, I was just about to call you. I'm all done here. And going by what you have in your hand I'm guessing you are to?" She asks, coming to me to place a kiss on my lips.
Then she notices Polly.
"Holly." She greets.
"Supercunt." She retorts.
"So, can I have a peek?" Alex asks me like a child on Christmas Eve, reaching for my dress.
I smack her hand away.
"Alex Vause! You know it's bad luck to see a bride's dress before the wedding day!" I scold.
She chuckles with a large, content grin, wrapping her arms around me.
"I think we've had all the bad luck we're going to have Pipes." She smiles and kisses me.
When we break apart I ask her,
"So where's Nicky?"
That's when she registers Nicky's absence and confusion grows on her face.
"I actually don't know. I left her at the fitting room." She tells me so we go there with Alex leading the way.
Then we hear the moaning just as Alex pulls the curtain back.
My eyes go so wide they were in danger of popping out of my head.
"Zelda?!" I exclaim in question.
"Hey Chapman, soon to be Vause-Chapman! I guess you can say we're definitely snatch sisters now." She grins slyly as Zelda shyly looks away.
Alex glares at Nicky for this because she knew that Nicky could've also said about how McCullough was in this little Alex square too.
"Nichols." She growls in warning.
"What? You suggested I hook up with Zelda here! How and when I do it is none of your concern now if you'll excuse us." She says then closes the curtain again.
"Did you now?" I ask Alex.
She nervously and guiltily says,
"I might have."
"Why?" I ask her.
"I had my reasons." She replies.
"Oh I don't doubt it." I say and we walk out of the store with Polly to go home.
