Bailee and Nicole refused to tell me what the plan was for my bachelorette party. It seemed to be a theme for the night because Nicole had said that Avery and Gary didn’t tell Easton what they were doing either. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know about Easton’s “last night of freedom.” Did he want to have that one last moment where he could forget about me and be with another woman? I trusted him. However, there was still the underlining feeling that I would never be enough for him. Dana wasn’t.
It had been a few days since Easton and I had had sex, and men needed sex like their next breath. At least that was what they thought. And don’t get me wrong, I’d tried to fuck him as much as possible. I wanted to. He was the sexiest man I’d ever been with, and I loved him with my entire heart. But recovery had put a damper on my libido and, I was always tired after work.
So for my bachelorette party, I wanted to get wasted and then come home and fuck Easton’s brains out. If he’d gone to a strip club, I’d need to remind him what he had. What we built. What we shared.
If my night was anything like what we’d done in Vegas for Nicole’s bachelorette shindig, I knew I’d at least get drunk off my ass. And when I was drunk as a skunk, all inhibitions went out the window.
“So, where are we going first?” I asked when Bailee and I jumped into Nicole’s car.
“Halo,” Nicole answered.
My brows furrowed. “What?” I was there practically every day. I knew we could get free drinks, but I wanted to go somewhere different.
She laughed as I looked at Bailee, questioning if Nicole was serious. Bailee smirked.
“Don’t worry. We’re only parking at Halo and then we’re going on a scavenger hunt,” Nicole affirmed.
I looked out the window at the falling snow. It wasn’t coming down heavy, but I still didn’t want to walk out on the street in heels with it sleek and freezing.
“We’re going on a scavenger hunt?” I asked, not believing my ears.
“Yep,” Nicole replied with a pop of her mouth.
“It’s not what you’re thinking,” Bailee chimed in from the backseat.
I rolled my eyes. “And what am I thinking?”
“We’re not going to do those lame ass ones where you have to find a guy named John and take a picture with him. Or find a guy to sing to you. Or hell, create some stupid ass veil with toilet paper. That shit isn’t fun.”
And that was why I loved Nicole. She didn’t sugarcoat a damn thing.
“This night is going to be epic!” Bailee squealed.
I turned toward the backseat. “Is this your first bachelorette party?”
“Of course. None of my friends got married in college.”
“You’re in for a treat, Bai.” Nicole grinned.
“So are you two going to tell me what we’re doing?” I was starting to get annoyed. I loathed surprises.
“We will… In time.” I hated the smile on Nicole’s face. She was totally getting me back for Vegas.
“Do I have to wear penis attire?” I prodded.
“Hell no. We don’t need no fake penises when we have real ones at home!” Again, Nicole didn’t sugarcoat anything.
“Um, speak for yourselves.” Bailee frowned.
I hadn’t asked Bailee about Gary. I thought it was better I didn’t know. But now that Bailee and I were seeing each other more and we talked every day, I was starting to see her as my best friend and not just as the little sister I’d raised. I was slowly coming to terms with the fact that she was an adult.
So I asked the question I really wanted to know. “What’s up with you and Gary anyway?” Bailee looked away and didn’t say anything. “Bai…” I prompted.
“There’s nothing going on.” She frowned.
