Chapter One, The Wedding: Lingerie Party
"Darn. We waited too close to the wedding to think of lingerie," said Jess. "I can't find anyone to book a lingerie party. They need at least two weeks."
"It's OK, Jess," said Abby, but she looked a little disappointed. So did Emily.
"No. We are having one. You need lingerie for the wedding and honeymoon, and to start your marriage on the right foot."
Emily smiled. "And keep your man satisfied."
"Emily! Connor is more than satisfied, I promise," cried Abby, but she laughed.
Emily smiled.. "It would have been nice to have such a party. I was looking forward to...an education."
"Oh, you'll get one. I promise," said Jess. "Besides, I had my heart set on some new stuff, myself."
"We could just go shopping to different stores."
"No, Abby. We are getting together and having a fun night. I...kind of mentioned it to Kim at the canteen this morning, and later, when I was with Becker in medical, after he twisted his ankle running from the dictodon, I kind of said something to Beverly."
Abby laughed. "Don't feel bad. I sort of invited Iris, Jina, and Meira."
Jess giggled. "How about you Emily? Did you 'sort of invite' anyone?"
Emily avoided both their eyes. "You will not be pleased."
"It's OK," said Jess. "You can invite anyone, as long as it's not the minister's wife," she said with a laughed.
Emily stared at her.
"You didn't! Emily! You are trying to kill Lester!"
"Indeed not, however, his wife is invited as well."
Abby burst out laughing.
Jess shook her head. "When did you even talk to them?" asked Jess.
"Today, Lester asked me to answer his office telephone."
Abby snickered. "Well, he won't be asking you to do that anymore."
Emily smiled. "Are you angered?"
Jess laughed. "No. They're both charming ladies. It will be fun."
Abby nodded.
"Except, now I have to find someone to book a lingerie party! I can't talk anymore," she said, and ran to her room.
Emily and Abby traded smiles.
"She will find someone, and in the short amount of time we have," said Emily.
"You know it."
Not quite an hour later, Abby opened her door. "Hi, Becker. Jess is in her room, in a tizzy."
"And we are watching television and ignoring it," said Emily, proudly.
Becker laughed. "I'll take care of it."
Jess sat on her bed, typing ferociously into her computer.
"Hey," said Becker.
"I need lingerie!"
Becker raised his eyebrow. "Don't get me wrong, I do love you in sexy little, lace things, but it's not a necessity," he said with a smirk.
She glared. "No, Becker, for the lingerie party."
"The what?"
"Oh, yeah. Forgot. Didn't tell you. Women only. Sorry."
"But you'll be getting...new things?"
"That's the plan."
"Sexy ones?"
She smiled, leaned across her laptop and kissed him. "Sexy. Sweet. Barely there."
"Then what are you waiting for woman? Find some!"
She laughed. "It's not that easy."
"It isn't? They don't sell them in stores?"
"No...uh. It's like Tupperware kitchen things, or candles. You hire a sales representative and she comes into your home, usually with lots of samples, and you...have a party. You buy and sell lots."
Becker smiled. "I've heard of that."
"Right, but not with lingerie."
Becker looked at her, lowered her laptop lid, and whispered, "How much do you love me?"
"Loads, Becker. Why?"
"Remember my stripper contacts?"
"Yeah..."
He smirked. "Don't shatter my eardrums, but Debra also throws lingerie parties. She's a..."
"Consultant?"
He nodded.
Jess squealed and threw herself into his arms. Then she kissed him til neither one could breathe.
"Sorry. Can you still hear?"
He laughed, and nodded. "Barely, but it was worth it."
Jess smiled. "Do you have her phone number?"
"No, but I have Ce Ce's and she has it."
Jess scrambled to her mobile, and in minutes, the lingerie party was booked.
"I love you!" she cried, jumping on him again.
He laughed.
"Debra is so excited. She can't wait to meet me and I can't wait to meet her. Ce Ce will try to make it, but she's not sure. We have to hold it tomorrow."
"Wow! That's quick. Too bad about Ce Ce, but maybe she can still come. I'm glad you get to meet Debra. You'll like her."
Jess nodded.
"Still no men?" asked Becker.
Jess sauntered up to him, and toyed with his shirt. "We'll see."
"I bet I can persuade you," he teased.
She giggled and ran to shut the bedroom door. "You can start now," she said, leaning seductively against it.
He laughed, picked her up, and dropped her on the bed.
"I hope Abby and Emily don't mind a little noise."
"Becker!"
The very next day, Jess hummed happily, setting out crisps, cheese, biscuits, and obviously, chocolate.
Emily and Abby hung some blue streamers.
"You did not decide to decorate the same way as for the hen party," said Emily with a laugh.
"No. Thank you," said Jess. "Short notice parties get leftover decorations, not leftover food, though. Those are new chocolates."
Abby laughed. "Like you ever have leftover chocolate." Jess smiled at her. Abby went on, "You really didn't have to throw me another party, Jess."
Jess shrugged and smiled. "I love to party, Abby."
"The booze has arrived," said Connor, holding a large box, and leading Matt and Becker, also holding boxes.
"How much did you get?" asked Jess.
Becker smirked. "Enough for tonight and if there are leftovers..."
Matt and Connor joined him in saying, "Too bad."
The ladies laughed.
Emily and Matt unpacked the assortment of liquor, and Abby and Connor filled several tubs with ice.
Becker helped Jess set up tables for the lingerie samples.
"Will there be... modeling?" he asked.
Jess smiled. "Yes, and that's the major reason I don't want you here. Anything I buy is going to be a surprise, and you really don't need to see any other woman in her undies."
Becker laughed. "Good point."
"Thank you for helping," she said, kissing him. "I am a little disappointed you won't be here tonight. Debra has...other things for the bedroom."
He raised his eyebrow. "Like what?"
She laughed. "Oh, don't worry. She's leaving several brochures, and if we end the party early, she said she might stay late."
"Late?"
Jess nodded. "To see you, and meet Connor and Matt. She might...host a small, intimate showing for just us three couples. Maybe. If we end early."
Becker smirked, kissed her, and said, "End it early."
"Really? I'm not sure how that's going to go over. I can't see you, Matt, and Connor talking about...coupling, at least not together, or with us."
He smiled. "They'll be just as uncomfortable. Anyway, we'll get...toys."
She blushed. "Maybe I'm not up to this."
"We won't do anything that either of us are uncomfortable with. Promise. If they're uncomfortable, though, that's another story," he said with a smirk.
She giggled, and nodded. "I'll call you. I was wondering though..."
"What?"
"Will it bother you to...couple shop with Debra? You know her too."
Becker laughed. "True, but it helps that I've seen her nearly naked a few times."
She elbowed him. "Don't remind me!"
He laughed. "You're the one I love, remember."
She smiled and nodded. "I do." They kissed passionately.
Abby walked in and rolled her eyes. "So much for getting ready for the party. Hey! Break it up!"
Becker and Jess giggled and let each other go.
"It's time for them to leave anyway," said Abby, pointing to the men.
"For a few hours," said Jess. "It'll be so lonely."
Becker smiled. "See you soon."
She kissed him, and walked with him to the door.
Finally the girls were alone.
Not long after, Debra arrived. She was older than Jess, and a bit taller. She was slender, and very pretty, with dark brown hair that framed her face, ending just below the jawline.
She wore smart capri-length black pants, a royal blue conservative top, and dark navy, closed toe shoes with mild heels.
She didn't look like a lingerie salesperson, or a stripper.
"Hi, Jess?"
Jess nodded, and without any reservations, she hugged her.
Debra laughed. "Oh, I'm so happy to meet you. Ce Ce, all of us, we love Becker like a brother. We're so happy."
Jess blushed. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Come in. I can't thank you enough for helping us out on such short notice."
"I'm happy to do it, plus I get a commission," she said with a wink.
"Do you do this to help pay for all your schooling?"
Debra nodded. "Yes, but it's also fun. I need to unwind. Psychiatry isn't always a 'feel-good' field."
Abby snorted. "I guess not. Hi, I'm Abby."
"The bride," said Jess. "This is our good friend Emily. We're sort of the hosts. The guests won't be here for a while. You said you'd like time to set up?"
Debra nodded. "Thank you. You guys look ready: decorations, drinks, food, and some tables for my stock. Excellent."
Jess smiled. They helped Debra unpack, talked a bit about the party, and what their individual styles were. Abby looked at the special bride section of the brochures, and Debra's sample stock.
"Now. I have lots more in my car, and even more at home. The wedding is still a few days off?"
Abby nodded.
"Luckily, I have lots in your size, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I think we can get you a nice collection to take with you on your honeymoon."
Abby smiled.
"I can deliver anything else you need, even sizes I don't have within a week, unless it's a special order."
"That quickly?"
Debra smiled. "The main office and major warehouse are short drives from my place, and I've worked for this company for a few years. I'm connected," she said with a wink.
Jess smiled. "You're a life saver."
"Emily, I understand, that you've led a kind of sheltered life, and you're new to sexy lingerie."
Emily nodded.
"Don't worry. We carry some elegant, classy things that are more...suggestive than out-right sexy. I took the liberty of bringing a few different styles with me. Again, I have your size, but I can order anything that you like."
"Thank you."
"Please, ask any questions, and don't be embarrassed," said Debra.
Jess easily saw why Becker liked her.
"Jess?" asked Debra. "I asked you to think of an 'order room,' where people can speak to me privately and put in their orders and purchases confidentially."
"Right. I thought the kitchen. The table is clear for once," she said, leading Debra inside.
"Sounds like my place," said Debra, joking easily with Jess, like they were old friends.
Emily and Abby sat together on the sofa looking over the catalogs.
Debra came back with Jess.
"What does, hostess gift mean?"
Debra smiled. "The lady allowing me into her home and throwing the party, gets free items."
"Nice," said Abby.
"Emily and I are co-hosts, can we split them?"
Debra nodded. "You get two gifts, just for hosting. I'll let you each choose one. You'll get more depending on how many people show up, and how much is sold."
"Just for inviting friends and having a party? I like it," said Jess.
Debra laughed. "Most hostesses do."
Emily smiled. "It is kind of you to share, Jess."
"Nonsense. You helped me spread the word and prepare. You're in this dirty business with me."
Abby laughed.
"Abby," said Debra. "Jess and Emily have done you a huge favor by designating this as a bridal shower party. As the bride, you get a bunch of smashing gifts, again, the more money made, the more you get."
"Sweet!"
Debra smiled. "Well, we just need the guests!"
A few minutes later, Ce Ce arrived, apologizing for being early.
"It's so good to see you, Ce Ce," said Jess, hugging the red-head. "Please meet two more friends of Captain Becker, Emily and Abby. Abby's known him for several years."
"And I haven't killed him yet," she said with a smirk.
Ce Ce laughed. "Another girl who knows how to handle him," she said. "Thank you for allowing me to crash the party."
"Don't be silly," said Jess. "Besides, you did us a big favor, and Becker's pretty sure you undercharged him and Matt for the Bachelor party."
"Oh my God, Connor's in love with you," Abby said. "He goes on and on about Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts, and Oola and Leia."
Ce Ce giggled. "I'm glad he liked the show."
Abby laughed. "I expected him to, it's stripping. But I was really surprised with how impressed he was with your dancing ability."
"Thank you," said Ce Ce, beaming. "That's a truly wonderful compliment. Jess? The reason I'm early is, if its' alright, I'd like to submit some extra orders with your party. We use lingerie in our stripping acts, plus, I have some private orders from my dancers. Do you mind?"
"Are you kidding? We'll get more free stuff!"
Ce Ce and Debra laughed. They went it the kitchen to put in the extra orders.
Jess joined Abby and Emily on the sofa, looking through the brochures. She was singing, "free stuff, free stuff!"
They moved to the samples, to get a sneak peek before the party started.
"Ooh! They're so soft!" cried Jess. "I love the bright colors!"
"The white satin is so pretty," said Abby. "I wouldn't normally choose it, but..."
"You are getting married," said Emily. "I must confess that I did not expect such high quality." She held up a long, satin black gown. "This is quite nice."
Abby nodded. Then, the doorbell rang. Jess skipped over and let them in.
From the ARC were: Beverly, Kim, Jina, Meira, Iris, and one of Becker's soldiers, Nicole.
Mrs. Lester, and Eleanor, the minister's wife, in disguise as 'Elle,' also came. Last to arrive, was Jenny Lewis.
"I was afraid I'd have to pass on tonight," she said. "Michael and I had a previous engagement, but we got out early."
"Yay!" cried Abby, hugging her.
After small talk, Jess decided to break the ice.
