Emily whistled, “My brother and cousin are definitely going to have a blissful wedding night,”
“Oh please,” Cecil rolled her eyes playfully, “They’ve eaten the forbidden fruit already,”
“The wedding night forbidden fruit has a different taste to it, not to add the honeymoon that follows after it,” Lisa argued
“Guys, you are drifting off the topic at hand. We asked about the undies, not whatever you trio are talking about right now,” Reina tried so hard to hide the blush creeping up her face.
“And speaking of that issue, are you planning on giving Niles another child; you have two already,” Cecil raised the issue, Reina’s mouth opened and closed helplessly.
“Anabelle wants triplets because Reina has two already and might be on her way to delivering the third one – Neon excluded,” No matter how much they welcomed the boy, he was not a Sparks and his mother would come to take him once she recovers her senses.
“Good luck with that,” Lisa laughed at her, “This is why we marry the single ones,”
“I’m not giving birth anymore – I have two twins I can hardly handle. I’m done,” Reina concluded.
Emily and Cecil released a stifled laugh, giving each other knowing looks. If Emily could remember correctly, the last time she and her brother Niles had spoken, he had talked about having twelve kids.
“What was that for? ” Reina didn’t like the sound of that laughter.
“Nothing,” they chuckled
Reina groaned, rubbing her temple. They didn’t believe her one bit.
“Alright,” Lisa stood up, “Let’s not dampen anyone’s mood here. This is a double bachelorette party and we’re supposed to be having fun!”
“Yeah!!” they all roared
“What’s our next stop?!” She shouted.
“The casino!” They shouted back excitedly.
And just like that, they changed into casual outfits, dumped their shopping bags in the booth of the car, and drove to the casino where they continued with their spending splurge.
As was expected from a casino, there were many games to play but Reina was prohibited from participating in the blackjack. They had no doubt Reina was a prowess in the game having lived for seven years with her rugged father and the dangerous falcon gang, added to the fact her family had numerous scattered casinos too.
They were all afraid that she would go on an unbeatable winning streak and draw unnecessary attention to themselves. However, the women must have misunderstood the concept of “Do not draw attention to themselves” because they stood at the sloth machine for more than an hour, squandering thousands of money in the childish game of luck unknowing that malevolent gazes were scrutinizing them intently.
The third point of view
“Woohoo!”
Women clad in bikinis flooded the pool area, dancing to the music blasting from the speakers. Drinks were being served by passing waiters while games were played in the water.
“Whose idea was this?” Niles had a scowl on his face.
Eden and Pablo pointed at each other – they had thought Niles would be overjoyed at their setup but the reverse was the case. Ever since Reina left with her friends to Lincolnshire, the man had become a brooding fellow.
Niles wiped his face with his palm, all he wanted was a low-key party to commemorate his long gone bachelor days until Eden came up with his own devices. Left alone, he wanted a cool time with his groomsmen, play golf or some “guy sports”, something like that, not this headache-inducing party.
“You don’t like it?” Eden finally took on the blame.
“Do I look like I like it?” he glared at his cousin.
“Niles…” Eden came and put his arm on his shoulder in the middle of accepting a drink a waiter offered him, “The purpose of a Bachelors party is to get together with all your closest friends, say goodbye to the single life, as you prepare to start a new chapter with your chosen partner for life – this is the day to have fun you’d never be able to for the rest of your pathetic marriage confined life – I included, technically, “
Niles grimaced, staring at the half-naked women playing with the water balloon in the pool. One even came up to him enticingly, “Hi handsome,” the woman purred, circling him as she checked him out.
Niles in question looked casual in his grey sweatpants and a black tank top that revealed the tattoos running down the length of his right arm to his neck, back, and receding at his chest.
He had gotten the tattoos after Maria allegedly died, choosing to have her pictures drawn on his flesh to remember her in case his memory of her eventually fades with time; he could always look at the mirror and see her. Moreover, with her images on his body, it had made him feel she was with him.
Niles’ cold gaze regarded the woman slowly, watching and wondering what she was up to.
“Cool tattoo you got there,” she reached out, trying to touch his arm when Niles caught her hand, tight.
“Back off, I’m taken!” he growled threateningly like one of those alpha werewolves shown in fantasy and sci-fi movies.
“Ouch!” the lady yelped in pain. He was almost crushing her wrist.
“Niles,” Eden intervened, successfully detaching his cousin’s unbelievable tight grasp.
“You’re such a bastard!” the lady huffed and stormed away.
Eden facepalmed, this wasn’t going the way he planned it, “You can’t keep scaring the women away with that murderous gaze,”
“I’m going to stay out of this one,” Pablo quickly escaped. He had a feeling things would escalate pretty soon and he would not be there to experience it.
Niles ignored him and began to walk into the house but Eden blocked him saying, “You’re in this party today to have some fun for once,”
“I can’t seem to agree with your definition of fun,”
“Let loose,” he urged.
“I can’t exactly let loose in a pool filled in and out with fifty or so almost naked women. I’m sorry Eden but I’m not that same old Niles, my conscience is guilty,”
Eden didn’t give up, “Nobody is asking you to sleep with any female. Just play around, loosen up a bit, tough boy, ” He beat him on the chest but Niles wasn’t amused at all.
“Fine, since you feel guilty, I would tell you with a hundred percent conviction that your soon-to-be wife is out having the time of her life – she must have even forgotten you exist. You’re hesitating to have simple pool fun but the girls are out there having a much better… ” Eden trailed off when he realized he might have spilled more than intended in the process of trying to change Niles’ mind.
At once, Niles narrowed his eyes at his cousin, something was not right here,” Are you hiding something from me? “
