Thank you for the reviews guys. This chapter is ridiculously long and I apologize but I couldn't find a way to break it up smoothly. SO without further ado here is the next chapter. Please review and enjoy.
By the time the sun had gone down we were in Vegas. The lights, the booze, the electric energy, we could barely contain our selves in the car as we pulled up to Caesars Palace. We grabbed our luggage and walked in. Phil got excited when he saw some women walking out.
"Hi, welcome to Caesars." The lobby assistant said. We said our hellos back.
"Checking in?" She asked.
"Yeah. We have a reservation under Dr. Price." Stu said.
"Okay, let me look that up for you." she said.
"Dr. Price? Stu, you're a dentist, okay? Don't try and get fancy." Phil said.
"Higher degree than you." I said.
"And you, same profession sweetheart." Phil said.
"Its not fancy, if its true." Stu said.
"He's a dentist. Don't get too excited. And if, uh, someone has a heart attack, you should still call 911." Phil continued.
"We will be sure to do that." she said.
"Can I ask you a question? Do you know if the hotel's pager-friendly?" Alan asked. My pocket began to vibrate. I took out my phone it was Tracy.
"Thank God." I whispered and answered the phone.
"Tracy!" I said a little loud so the boys knew who I was talking to and where I was going when I walked over to the fountain in the middle.
"Hi Hailey, how is everything?" Tracy asked.
"Everything is going great. We just got to Vegas and we are checking into the hotel right now."
"Good. How are you and Phil?" she asked.
"We are bickering like an old married couple. God he gets on my nerves so much!"
"Well, don't forget this is for Doug. In a couple of days you wont have to see him again for a long time. I really appreciate you going with them. Doug was worried you wouldn't go because you're a girl and the maid of honor."
"Unfortunately I've been in situations like these before, where its just suppose to be the guys but then I'm there. Its the gift of knowing them since middle school." I said with a smile as I looked at the boys. "Except Alan, what is his deal anyway?"
"Hell, if I know. Just watch out for him and don't let him do anything too crazy. You should probably keep him away from Phil."
"I wish it was that easy to keep away from him."
"Hailey..."
"What?"
"You're doing it again."
"No I'm not."
"Right whatever. I will see you guys tomorrow and for our bridal shower!"
"Oh ya its going to be awesome! See ya then Hun!"
"Give my love to Doug."
"I will."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and walked over to the guys. The assistant just gave us the keys.
"Have fun." she sad with a smile.
We rode the elevator up to the top floor. We walked over to our room.
"The Villa? Guys are you kidding me?" I asked as Stu opened the door.
"Holy Shit!" Stu said as we walked in. Phil gasped and let out a groan.
"This place is bigger than my house. Nicer too." I said in shock looking around.
"Now this is Vegas." Phil said.
"Oh, my- this place is enormous." Doug said as we all walked around.
"This is what I'm talking about!" Phil said as he looked at the Vegas view.
"Is this all one suite? Thank you guys. Or should I say 'Thank you, Stu'?" Doug said.
"You're welcome. It's only because I love you." Stu said.
"Well, I'm going to go get ready." I said walking into a random bedroom.
"Cause it takes you so damn long!" Phil said as I closed the door behind me. I let out a breath and walked over to the bathroom. This place was really so much nicer than my own. I stepped into the shower and got to work of getting the sweat, dirt, wind particles, and the day in general off of me.
I got out and heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Doug." he answered.
"Come in." I said as the door opened. My robe was tight around my waist as I sat at the desk and did my make up.
"Look at you all clean. Damn this is a nice room." he said as he sat on the bed. "How are things?"
"Tracy and I already went through this." I said as I applied mascara.
"I know but I haven't."
"I'm fine Dougie."
"You two bicker a lot."
"Thank you for noticing."
"I think its cause-"
"You finish that sentence I will kill you and send my regards to Tracy." I said stopping my make up and looked at him.
"OK but that's what I think."
"You're up in the night."
"Yeah, I guess. I'll let you finish. Come out when you're done." he said as he left.
I stood up and put on my silver strapless dress. I let my blond hair go free and wild. I had to admit, I looked hot! I walked out of my room and into Stu's where I could hear Phil yelling at him.
"-big fucking mistake." Phil said.
"Whats a big fucking mistake?" I asked as I walked into the room. Stu and Doug whistled. Phil just sat and stared.
"I'm gonna propose to Melissa at your wedding after the ceremony." Stu said excited looking at Doug. When I looked over at Stu I could see Phil smirking at me, thinking I couldn't see him.
"Stuey, congratulations!" Doug said.
"Thank you, Doug." Stu said as he stood in nothing but his tighty whities.
"Stu- I- Is that your grandma's ring?" I said looking at the ring still in Doug's hands.
"Yeah." Stu said with a shit eating grin.
"Wait, have you not listen to anything I have ever said?" Phil said.
"Phil, we've been dating for three years. Its time. This is how it works." Stu said.
"Just because your marriage failed doesn't mean everyone else will too. Stu, I don't think you should." I said to Phil then to Stu.
"Why not?"
"Stu, right now you're lying to her because she will start a fight with you if you don't. That's not healthy." I explained.
"Like you know a healthy relationship. A. Stu that is bullshit. And B, she's a complete bitch." Phil said.
"Hey that's his fiancee." Doug said.
"What? It's true. Its true. You know it's true. She beats him." Phil said as he got up and walked over to Doug. I nodded my head in agreement.
"That was twice, and I was out of line." Stu said.
"Stu, lets play something really quick, lets say I did something out of line. Alright? Like I ate the last cookie from your cookie stash. You gonna hit me?" I asked.
"No, of course not." Stu said shaking his head at the thought.
"Touche then." I said.
"She's strong willed. I respect that." Stu said ignoring me.
"Wow. Wow." Phil said. "He's in denial. Not to mention, she fucked a sailor."
"Bartender." I said.
"Guys I'm standing right here. So I can hear everything that you're saying." Stu said.
"We're just concerned about it Stu. She cheated on you. That should've been enough for you to dump her right then and there. Drunk or not." I said.
"You know all about that, right Hailey?" Phil said looking at the ground then to me. Anger boiled in my veins as I opened my mouth.
"Phil I swear to god-" I began as Alan walked into the room interrupting me.
"Hey, guys. You ready to let the dogs out?" Alan said.
"What?" Doug asked.
"Do what?" Phil asked.
"Let the dogs out. You know like 'Who let the dogs out, who? Who? Who?'" Alan sang.
"Who brought this guy along?" Phil asked.
"Yes, Alan, we are ready to let the dogs out." Doug said letting out a breath he had been holding. Once Stu was dressed we were out the door walking down the hall. I almost felt like a supermodel walking in my high heels. I never wore high heels. I couldn't help but get the feeling Phil was watching my ass so I swayed it just a little more than usual, this was Vegas I could tease him, right?
"I love this fucking town." Phil said as he pushed the button for the elevator. "You're not really wearing that, are you?" Looking at Alan as he held his man purse.
"Wearing what?" Alan asked confused.
"The man-purse." Phil said. "You're actually gonna wear that or are you guys fucking with me? Hailey doesn't even have a bag."
"That's why I have breasts." I said pulling out my ID from my bra and placing it back in. Phil didn't even hide the fact he was staring.
"It's where I keep all my things. I get a lot of compliments on this." Alan said as he broke the contact that Phil had with my breasts. "Plus its not a man purse. Its called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one."
"So does Joy Behar." Phil said as the elevator doors open to a man giving woman head. He stood up as she adjusted her dress acting like nothing had happened.
"We're going up, guys." The man said.
"Yeah, that's perfect." Phil said as he ushered us into the elevator.
"Really?" Stu said.
"We're going up?" Doug asked.
"Apparently." I said. The couple got out and we continued to go up. We hit the last floor which was the roof.
"Really?" I asked as we walked out of the elevator.
"There are signs everywhere saying we shouldn't be up here." Stu said.
"I know." I said but continued to follow Phil's lead.
"I'm just saying its clearly marked, okay?" Stu said as Phil opened the door to the roof. "We are defiantly not suppose to be up here."
"Come on Stu, we're paying for a villa. We can do whatever the fuck we want." Phil said as climbed a step or two the ladder which lead to the higher roof. I began to take off my heels.
"Yeah but-" Stu began.
"Just wedge the door open." Phil said as he began to climb. "Guys come on up here." The boys followed after and I insisted I go last.
"How the hell did you find this place?" Doug asked as he climbed.
"Don't worry about it." Phil said.
"Look at the view up here." Doug said.
"Just when you thought it couldn't get more beautiful." I said.
"You happy?" Phil asked Doug.
"This is great." Doug said.
"Whoa!" Stu exclaimed. We all walked over to the corner of the roof. "Are you kidding?"
"Alan, how we doing buddy?" Phil asked.
"Good." he said as he walked over to us.
"What do you got over there Alan?" Doug asked.
"That's the Eiffel Tower." Stu said as he pointed it out to me.
"I'd like to see the real one." I said with a smile and turned towards Alan.
"Uh-Oh. A little Jagermeister." Doug said.
"Oh God." I said in disgust looking at the bottle. Alan handed all of us a shot glass.
"Good Idea." Doug said.
"Good Call." Phil said.
"On the roof?" Doug said as Phil poured the Jager.
"Um, no, this is good. I'd like to make a toast." Stu began. "To Doug and Tracy. May tonight be but a minor speed bump in an otherwise very long and healthy marriage."
"Cheers." We all said and clinked our shot glasses together.
"Short and sweet." Phil said as we all shot the liquid down our throats. I gagged.
"That stuff never gets better does it?" I said as I gagged again.
"Oh, it's like college." Doug said.
"All right. I want to talk about something." Phil said.
"All right." Doug said .
"I want to-" Phil began as Alan interrupted him.
"I'd like to- I'd like to say something that I prepared tonight." Alan said.
"All right, Alan." Doug said tapping Phil on the shoulder as Alan pulled out a piece of paper.
"Hello. How about that ride in? I guess that's why they call it Sin City. You guys might not know this but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home. I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack grew by one. So were there two- so there were two of us in the wolf pack. I was alone first in the pack and then Doug joined later. And then Doug brought Hailey around. Even though she is a girl, my wolf pack added another wolf. And then six months ago when Doug introduced me to Phil and Stu, I thought: 'Wait a second. Could it be?' and now, I know for sure. I just added two more guys to my wolf pack." Alan said.
"All right." Stu and Doug said nodding.
"Five of us wolves running around the desert together in Las Vegas looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight I make a toast-" Alan said as he brought out a switch blade.
"What-?" Phil said.
"What do you got there?" Doug asked.
"Whoa!" We all yelled and jumped back as Alan cut his hand.
"Dude what the fuck?" Phil said.
"Jesus, Alan!" I said.
"What the hell are you doing?" Doug said.
"What is that?" Stu asked.
"Blood Brothers." Alan said.
"Don't- why did you?" Stu said.
"Damn it." Doug said.
"Here." Alan said trying giving the knife to Stu.
"Alan- No, Alan. No." Doug said.
"No, I'm not doing that." Stu said.
"Go ahead Stuart." Alan said.
"Make him stop." Stu said.
"Alan give me the knife." I said as he gave it to me. "Thank you." I said as I folded it up and placed it behind me.
"Alan, we're not gonna cut ourselves." Doug said.
"You all right? Are you okay?" Phil asked Alan.
"Mm-mm" Alan said as he was sucking the blood from his hand.
"Do you need a doctor?" Phil asked.
"He's good." Doug said.
"All right, good, because I need everyone to focus. I wanna take a moment, I wanna talk about some- I wanna talk about memory. No, better yet, I wanna talk about selective memory. You see, whatever happens here tonight may as well never happened at all because this circle's about as far as its ever going to go. In other word forget everything." Phil said as Doug laughed. "Doug, I'm serious I have a kid at home. Okay, good or bad, we don't remember so we got nothing to talk about. Nothing guys. Nothing. Deal?"
"Deal." Doug said with a smile.
"Deal" Stu said as Alan nodded his head.
"Shouldn't be too hard for you." I said to Phil. "Deal." I said rolling my eyes.
"Right back at ya. Perfect. Alan, come here, buddy." Phil said.
"Get in here, crazy." Stu said.
"All right, to a night we'll never remember but the five of us will never forget." Phil said as he filled the shot glasses with more Jager. We took a shot and that's when everything was lost.
