Saturday
As the wedding draws nearer , the girls go to Nessa wedding dress fitting. Mick tries out Bryn's Gym. Dave Coaches feels Smithy is coming between him and Nessa.
"Hello" Gavin answered the phone in the house. "Only me babes just wondering what movie we should watch tonight Love Actually or Slumdog Millionaire" Stacey was looking at DVDs in the Blockbuster store in the high street.
"Pick any I don't mind Stace" . She looked round, picking up a few then putting them back down. "What about Fever Pitch you love that film don't ya?"
"What about Mean Machine its got Vinnie Jones in"
"I'll get that a film then Gav...See ya later" She told him.
"Oh Stace what about this film" Nessa appeared from the xxx movie section, Stacey gave a surprised look as Nessa showed her what DVD she chose.
"Alrighty Smithy" Dave coaches greeted him by the coach, while he had a quick smoke by the front door . Baby Neil was sitting in his pram wearing his Cardiff City football shirt. Smithy picked him to hold softly and comfortably in his arms "You do know when you grow up I hope you become an even better footballer than Robbie Keane is today".
Gavin came up behind him "Oi Smithy Keane's the best footballer we've had at Tottenham don't go bad mouthing him".
"I was only joking Gavin..just trying to encourage my boy" as he looked at him shrugging his shoulders . Dave finished his cigarette
"I thinkHe needs his sleep Smithy" as Dave put Neil back in his pram. "See later Dave", as Gavin and Smithy got in Gavin's car driving off.
"Bloody idiot" Smithy thought to himself, he didn't like seeing the closeness, the bond tha Dave was forming with his son, yes it was a long distance visits that he had to keeping paying once in a while to visit.
Meanwhile in Gwen's house Mick, Gwen, Pam, Stacey and Nessa were busy discussing the upcoming wedding. "What are ya having for the wedding Nessa, a themed one would be good but my friend Dizzy Lizzy had a Shrek themed wedding it was mint, the groom's brother dressed up as Donkey made everyone laugh when he done the Thriller dance in his costume"
Bryn came in through the kitchen door. "Nessa I've been having a think you should definitely have the Quattro take you to the church". Everyone laughed, Mick thought it was funny "Bloody hell Bryn Gene Hunt would be mad if his Quattro was nicked, who's driving my bloody Quattro". Bryn went to make himself a sandwich and Jason came downstairs they tried not to talk about the secret that they have. "Bryn sooner or later Nessa will out Dave's bound to tell her"
As Gavin got in to work his boss Brian was looking out of the office window and waved at him. "Can't ya take Saturday's off you're gonna miss Football Focus mate , I'll have to text you the Tottenham score " Smithy said then he noticed Brian waving "You are right he does look a bit annoying bit of a div head".
Gavin closed the door to the car as Smithy drove off giving him a v sign., he laughed. "Mr Shipman has that wife of your's been keeping you up late at night time". Gavin sat down at his desk, looking through piles of documents not noticing Brian was still standing there. He went to phone up a company to check on when an item for the Cardiff branch would be delivered. Looking up he noticed Brian looking at him smiling "Shipman have you bought a leaving present
For Marie she's leaving next week". Gavin rolled his eyes up after Brian left to go his office, he didn't really know Marie that well and felt Brian was getting on his nerves, popping up behind him when he was on the phone to Stacey.
Gwen, Pam, Stacey and Nessa visited the bridal shop for her wedding dress fitting. "Oh Ness you'd look good in this" Stacey looked excited by one of the dresses she chose for Nessa. "Stace I look like I'm hiding two tennis balls under my dress wearing this, I'd go with something that's mint".
She walked up and down in the dress, Pam looked surprised "that looks like the same dress Dizzy Lizzy wore for her wedding but she felt it was cursed when she tripped over it into the chocolate fountain at the reception"
Nessa didn't like it "I remember my last wedding about 5 years ago now to my second of 6 husbands Hunter he got kicked off the plane for impersonating Tom Jones last time I saw him he was convinced he was Tom Jones was mistake hiring that hypnotist for the reception"
Smithy arrived outside Gwen's house. Knocking at Bryn's door, "Bryn can I use the gym again", "you may Smithy but Mick is using the weights at the moment he says he needs to ease the pressure of stress". Smithy threw his bag down as he made his way up to the gym room seeing Mick perched and exercising on the stomach ball. "What will the lovely Pamela think her husband lifting heavy weights won't be long for you have muscles like Rambo." "Oi Smithy" he laughed back at him. "Sylvester ain't got nothing on you Mickster " Smithy joked. His mobile rang to the tune of Match of the Day, picking up to answer it while busy on the treadmill. "Gavin what's up" he asked him.
"Smithy can you do me a big favour Brian fancies Nessa and wants to ask her out can you tell him you're her boyfriend to put him off".
Smithy pulled a displeased look "No Gav", "Please mate Nessa's already met him but she said she'd string him up by his Y-fronts if he asked her out"
"She said really" Smithy looked surprised. "I'll even take you to the Tottenham v Arsenal match next week if you do this".
Smithy sighed "Ok Gav".
While he was on the phone he hadn't realise that he'd accidentally pressed on the button on the treadmill it was going incredibly fast as he was running as fast as possible on it.
The noise from the treadmill was very loud, he couldn't hear what Bryn was trying to say.
"I've got Neil a toy Shrek teddy bear, when you tickle his stomach it he's talks all Scottish that's really good"
Nessa met Dave by the end of the road, "how's he been Dave?" she bent down to tickle Bay Neil as he chuckled. "Very quiet got him these pink fluffy baby ears" . She pushed the pram along the pavement as Dave walked beside her lighting up a cigarette.
Smithy came from Bryn's "Alright my boy when can I take him out not spent time with yet". Nessa shrugged her shoulders while thinking "How about tomorrow Smith". He smiled looking forward to spending time with his son.
"What you girls been up to today", Dave asked while watching Smithy pulling baby faces at Neil making him chuckle. Dave liked Smithy but he felt he was getting in the way of him and Nessa. He knew Smithy didn't fancy Nessa because she told him when they went the bingo that she found "Smithy to be foul and too boyish reminding her of when she was with John Prescott"
"Not much Dave darling we went to look at some wedding dresses, picked out a long pink fluffy dress which Pam loved".
Gavin arrived home, he looked shattered. "I'll have to an early night Stacey he had me doing double work today, gonna have to look for another job soon. Hate working Saturday's."
