2 weeks later…
"5 minutes Molls. We have to be there in 20, lucky it's a quick walk." They were staying in a 5* hotel near the Red Lion in East Ham where Molly was having her party. They went halves on a Travelodge and booked in last night to prepare for it and have everything set out. Fortunately for them, because the bar owner is good friends with Dave because of his frequent visits and her MC, the staff have offered to set it all out for them, on the house!
"Give me a sec. Nearly there. Come in 'ere and have a look Charlie, what d'ya think?" Molly was turning and twisting around facing the mirror to make sure no cleavage was see able as she wasn't the whore she was, she is now the sophisticated and mature Molly.
Charles appeared from the bathroom in the bedroom after styling his hair, "Wow. Molls. I'm..I'm..lost for words." With his tongue in cheek, he was literally gobsmacked.
"Do you think it's horrible?" There was no reply from Charles because he was still speechless, "Oh for fucks sake Charles, just say something, we have to go soon! I'll change it quickly as you're not saying anything so it must be bad!"
Charles took 3 big strides to reach Molly and kissed her, "You look perfect in anything; even a binbag. Come on then we best be off before the crowd arrives."
Molly nodded and followed Charles' lead. He opened their hotel door and let Molly out first while he turned off the lights and locked the front door. He held onto Molly's hand tightly when they left the hotel to give her some reassurance. After the 2 minute walk, they reached their destination. Molly walked up to a member of staff with Charles closely following behind still holding on to her hand to show people that she is his, no one else's. They were led into a back room which could hold about 200 people.
The guests arrived 5 minutes later except 2 section, but they were fashionably late. They were all dressed in smart suits, which Molly thought were on-tick because the suits were too posh for them. She was greeted by hugs and kisses from 2 section and an extra big hug from Mansfield, per usual. Charles had to prize Mansfield off of Molly as he was letting go for a long time.
The party started as soon as the first guests entered: George, Elizabeth, Belinda and Dave. Molly's nan was looking after Molly's younger siblings, all 6 of them. The song that first started playing was Wait on Me by Rixton, chosen by Molly. When all the guests entered, drinks were flowing in rapidly as it was a free bar for all of Molly's guests however, the pub only had one bar which was the public bar so Molly kept bumping into old mates – including her ex's. When Molly went to get her drinks, she always went out with Charles to stop her from being 'hit on', as she called it.
After a lot of dancing, singing and throwing up, the part was coming to an end around 2am. The guests filed out after handing over their presents and givng goodbye kisses and hugs. Molly, Charles and 2 section were the last to leave but agreed to have a few more pints.
2 section ordered their drinks whilst Molly and Charles got a tables, the pub was packed as it was a Saturday night. 2 section sat down with the drinks and gave the couple theirs. "So what did you think of this evening then Molls?" Charles was questioning Molly as she seemed to be a bit agitated at some points. He looked over at 2 section and could see they were playing a game of darts.
"I loved it Charlie." Molly was staring into the distance as she replied.
"Molls, what's wrong? You don't seem right since we got here."
"One of my ex's and so called 'best mate' are here, but my ex Artan, still thinks I'm his. Can we go? I don't really fancy bumping into them right now." She didn't know what to say as she didn't want to go into much detail until they were clear of him.
"We aren't going to go yet Molly. Once we've caught up with 2 section and they're close enough to passing out we will leave. And also you're my fiancée, there's no way they will talk to you, or even look at you without me intervening. Let's just see how…" Charles was cut off by Molly.
"Shit, shit, shit Charles, they've spotted me. Fuck, let's go now!" She was getting really worried at this point.
Before they could get to Molly, Charles whistled over to the boys and filled them in about what was happening. But when he was near the end, Artan and 'Proud' Mary walked over "Oi Molls. You're paying for all these boys then? You're still a slut then I see. But look who's here, it's Artan, you missing him? He popped up behind Mary.
"Molls, you came back to me." Artan said with a smile on his face, it suddenly disappeared, "Can we talk? There's some things we need to talk about still."
"Anything you say to me, you can say in front of these. Mary, Artan, meet 2 section and my fiancée, Charles. And no, I'm not a slut; these are the people who I served in the army with and incase you were to blind to see, they are all extremely fit and will punch any of your lights out, we are basically family. Okay? Okay." Molly didn't want no messing today.
"To add on your already extremely large family. God Molls, what sort of cow you've turned out to be." Mary was the dominant one in this situation.
"What did you just call her?" 2 section stood up in canon, lead by Fingers, "no one speaks to our Molls like that, yeah?"
"Cor bloody hell Molls, these guys have got some muscle ain't they? I'm surprised you haven't gotten off with 'em yet." Mary wasn't going to be shutting up for a long time.
Molly picked herself up from the uncomfortable sofa she was sat on "Well I'm not the one who shags other peoples boyfriends am I?"
"Molls, there's no need for this, I just want to talk to you." Artan was now stepping infront of Mary as Molly stood up and decided to grab Molly's left hand. To which Charles reply was to stand up and break Artan's grip.
"She's mine. Touch her once more, me and the guys will beat the crap out of you." Charles wasn't having any messing, the same as Molly.
"Who do you think you are mate? She's mine, I'd take a bullet for her anyday." He once again grabbed her hand around Charles' body, then Charles drew his right fist and knocked Artan straight to the floor. He got back up slowly and as he did so, Charles ordered 2 section to take him out of the pub. Mary replied with a punch in Molly's face, right between the eyes and she stumbled backwards on to the sofa.
Charles attempted to catch Molly before she fell but because he left the army, his reactions were becoming slower, "What the fuck? Did I say you could touch my fiancée?" Charles raised his voice. He then rushed over to help Molly stand up and recover quicker. He picked her up in a bridal style and carried her out of the pub to meet 2 section. A few of Dave's friend escorted Mary out of the pub and the barman barred her.
As Charles carried Molly to 2 section, she passed out; either because of the hard-hitting punch or the alcohol. "Get him the fuck out of my sight and I never wanna see him again!"
"Yes Sir!" 2 section all spoke in union and Kinders kicked Artan in the cocksic area.
After Kinders almighty kick, he walked over to Molly "How is she doing Boss? She looks a bit battered and bruised, did someone hit her? Do you want me to sort them out? I'll happily do so."
"She's not worth it Kinders. I think we are going to have to call it anight here fellas! Baz, call us a taxi." Baz nodded in reply, "and I'll get you to bed Dawesy."
"She?!" Kinders was shocked but Charles could only nod in reply.
As the taxi arrived, Charles shook everyone's hands and said they would have to visit them sometime before the wedding to have a proper cathcup, to which they all agreed. They both entered the taxi and Charles rested Molly's head against his shoulder with his arm around her waist. After a short taxi ride back to the hotel, Charles paid the taxi driver £10. '10 bloody pounds to get a taxi for a quick journey. London these days, I don't know how you did it Molls, living here' he thought to himself and carried Molly through the hotel door and into their room. As Charles closed the door, Molly opened her eyes slowly "Ahhh Shit. Why do I have a massive headache for? I only had a few drinks." She started moaning to Charles.
"Haha, you've got the headache for one of the 2 reasons, or possibly both: you had a bit more than a few drinks tonight or you're just getting the after effects after a blow to the head" Charles was almost smirking that she couldn't remember a thing, but he was almost certain that was due to the alcohol.
"Who the fuck hit me and what the fuck happened? Molly was getting more serious now, "Seriously Charlie, what happened?"
"I'll give you some brief details tonight then we are going straight to bed and I'll tell you th resy in the morning okay?" Molly nodded in reply, "Okay. Someone called Artan tried hitting on you in front of me, which was a bad idea…" Molly chuckled in reply, "Annndddd… you got punched in the face by someone called Proud Mary if I remember rightly?"
"The bloody cow! Should've knocked her out when I had the chance." Molly's reply made them both laughed this time.
"Violence is ever the answer, unless you're involved. Right Molls? And get in your pyjamas and we will go to sleep, London's a city full of brawls right?" Charles was still unsure about London and he was glad they weren't having the wedding here.
It's rubbish I know! Sorry for the delays in uploading, I haven't actually prewritten this fan fiction as once I've uploaded one, I start the other. The next chapter is the wedding and that is it for this fan fiction as I have another story in mind x
