"So we still don't know what we're going to do for the photo shoot yet?" Bailey asked as she turned into Alex and Aiden's drive.
"No, we can brain storm while the boys have the kids today though." Ajay said opening the door with her spare key, "Oh Cookie?"
"In here!" Aiden called.
They walked through the immaculate house and finally found Aiden in Alex's game room. The girls exchanged looks when they came in and sat down.
"Hi." the sweet blonde greeted.
"Hi...uhh when did you start playing video games?" Ajay questioned looking at the giant TV screen.
"Ummm hello, when I started dating Alex." Aiden answered with a smirk.
"We need to brainstorm about photo shoot ideas, because we have none." Bailey said watching Aiden race around the animated track as Luigi on Mario Kart.
"Sure, sure. Let's think of something because we only have two days to get sets, props, hair, makeup and stuff done." Aiden reminded them.
Ajay pulled out a sketch pad and a pencil and began doodling.
"What about football? She suggested, her hand stilling.
"Eh...they're not really into football." Bailey said joining Ajay with her doodling.
"PEACH YOU LITTLE SLUT!" Aiden screamed scaring Bailey and Ajay.
They almost jumped out of their skin because of the tiny blonde's yell.
"Cookie, what the hell?" Ajay asked, shocked.
"Sorry, this game gives me Torettes." Aiden laughed
Bailey was giggling uncontrollably, " That so reminds me of Lex. I take it that's where you got it from?"
She nodded frowning in concentration and kicking out as she cut a corner closely.
"So what if we did a Lord of the Rings shoot?" Bailey pondered.
"How are we going to make that sexy though?" Ajay asked leaning back on the couch.
"Maybe we could be cute little elves." Aiden thought aloud.
"You would have to be a hobbit, you're too tiny to be an elf." Bailey teased.
"That won't turn your Hobbit on too much will it?" Aiden shot back with a smile, before realizing what she paused the game as Ajay burst into fits of giggles, "Bailey, I'm sorry…I didn't even think before I said anything."
Bailey smirked, "It was pretty good, probably something I would have said myself."
"Shut up Ajay." Aiden hissed, turning the game back on.
"I'm so proud that Skunky and I are finally rubbing off on you." Ajay laughed, sitting up to try and compose herself.
"Okay, so no to Lord of the Rings. This shouldn't be that hard." Bailey sighed.
"What do the boys like…."? Ajay wondered.
"Us, hockey, wrestling, music…" Bailey named.
"YOU SUCK DICK YOSHI! SHOVE THAT TURTLE SHELL UP YOUR ASS BOWSER, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Aiden shouted again.
"I'm getting out my phone I've got to get a video of this." Ajay laughed.
Aiden threw her hands in the air in victory as she crossed the finish line in first place.
"Alex would be so proud." Bailey teased.
"What would have happened if she came in second I wonder?" Ajay asked, cocking her eyebrows.
Aiden sat back, crossing her legs and reverting back to her calm refined self, "Second place is for losers."
"Wow you really are married to Alex, aren't you?" Bailey laughed as Aiden typed in "CGS" in her top score.
"What does that mean?" Ajay asked.
"Come get some." Aiden blushed, "We talk crap on our high scores."
"Are you serious?" Bailey asked.
"What does 'BIB' mean?" Ajay asked.
"Bring it bitch, he was mad about the one I put on there before 'UBC', you have a baby cock." Aiden said batting her eyes innocently.
"He doesn't though…" Bailey argued confused.
"I know…okay, well maybe I was mad because of what he had saved.," she confessed.
"What's PTT?" Ajay questioned.
Aiden huffed out a breath, "Princess tiny tits."
Both girls burst into laughter.
"Whatever, if I had huge fun bags like yours I wouldn't be able to wear all of the couture that I do." Aiden sniffed as she shut down the gasped suddenly, "I've got it!"
"What?" Ajay smiled.
"She's getting implants! You'll love them, and so will Alex, trust me." Bailey gushed.
Aiden went to Alex's collection of games running her finger up and down the rows of various titles. She pulled out three games and sat them before the girls.
"Okaaayyy…." Bailey said not understanding at all.
"These are the inspiration for our next photo shoot, video game vixens." Aiden exclaimed.
"That's perfect, the boys love video games!" Ajay squealed.
"Let's go before they get back and start shopping." Aiden smiled scooping up the video games and putting them in her purse.
"Alex will flip if he knows we took his precious games without his permission." Bailey said, not moving yet.
"Look at all of them, he'll never notice that these are gone." Aiden waved her off putting them in her purse and putting on her stilettos.
The next two days were spent picking up costumes and props while Aiden oversaw the sets that were going to be used.
Saturday morning rolled around and as usual all three guys woke up to empty beds. Their wives were missing and Petey came over to Alex's house to wait for their return. They found him sitting on the couch staring at the blank screen of the TV with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" I for one am glad the girls are all getting along." Petey said sitting on the loveseat.
"Yeah, its nice not to have to deal with any drama or catfights or anything." Chris chimed in kicking his feet up on the coffee table.
Alex didn't respond but continued to glare.
Chris laughed, "You're so whipped bro, its ridiculous."
"I'm sorry that I'm used to a certain routine. I'm sorry that I look forward to Aiden cooking me breakfast when I'm home, and holding her until we get up." Alex sighed frustrated with them, "Never mind, lets go play some video games."
"We get to pick since we have to put up with you." Petey joked.
"This is going to be so much fun." Ajay said dancing in her seat.
"It's so cool to be in this fantasy world. I can't wait to be up in that harness. This was such a cool concept." Bailey grinned.
Aiden smiled weakly.
"Cookie, what's wrong?" Ajay frowned.
Aiden shrugged, "I think Lex is mad at me for being gone again. He hasn't called or text me back all morning."
Bailey scoffed, "He's such a baby! Don't let him ruin our fun, he'll get over it when he sees what we've been up to."
Aiden nodded reluctantly. She wasn't entirely convinced.
"You know all you have to do is cook him something and put out. He'll forget he was mad about anything if you do that." Ajay teased.
She blushed then, "I've got to go get in my costume."
Bailey and Ajay smirked.
"She's so shy." Bailey laughed.
"Put her on a set though and she turns it on. She's weird like that." Ajay smiled sitting back as she got her makeup finished.
A half hour later Aiden walked back on the set.
"Wow! You look amazing! Just like her!" Ajay exclaimed.
She was going to portray the character of Bayonetta from the video game with the same name. It had become one of Alex's favorites as of late. Aiden was in a black spandex suit with sky-high boots. Her hair had been covered with a black wig that was styled into Bayonetta"s infamous beehive.
"Almost done, you'll need these." An assistant said coming over to hand her a pair of glasses and two huge guns for props.
"Good luck." Bailey grinned.
"You're not afraid of heights are you Cookie?" Ajay giggled.
They were extremely giddy about the photo shoot because it would be the first one that involved some action. Aiden had picked out three action stills from the video games they were portraying, which would involve green screens and harnesses.
Aiden shrugged, "We'll see. I've always been the one on the ground telling the model to not be afraid."
She took a deep breath as she walked into place and got hooked to the wires.
"Five bucks says she'll freak." Bailey whispered.
Ajay smiled, "You're on. Cookie's a professional, she'll do anything for the shot."
They watched as Aiden's feet left the ground and she rose in the air.
"Okay whenever you're ready!" the photographer called as they cued the wind.
Aiden started posing dramatically immediately. She raised her arms and contorted her body, all while pulling off the grace of her character. As she swung through the air posing the photographers camera snapped away as he shouted praises over the rushing wind.
"Here." Bailey said throwing a five-dollar bill at Ajay, "She's not nervous at all."
Twenty minutes later Aiden was back on the ground.
"You're done already?" Ajay asked skeptically.
"We already got the shot." Aiden smiled proudly.
"That's impressive." Bailey smirked, "Looks like I'm next."
She flipped the long braid over her shoulder as she went to get in her harness. She was going to be Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. She had on a tight white tank and barely there khaki cargo shorts with socks and boots that came up mid shin. She was decked out with several gun belts on her thighs and ankles. She took the gun and the thick vine looking rope that she would be using as her props. She was raised into the air next to a rock wall that had been erected that morning.
"Okay, Bailey, we want you to look like you're swinging through the air by that rope popping off shots. Give me some attitude and some good jumps and you'll be done." The photographer called to her from his perch.
She nodded. She inhaled deeply and pushed with all her strength from the wall. With the harnesses assistance it felt like she was swinging.
"Great job! Now do it again." The photographer shouted as Bailey prepared for her second jump.
When she was back on the ground she jumped onto Aiden excitedly, "This was a GREAT idea! Flying through the air like that was completely exhilarating!"
I'm glad you liked it." She laughed looking at Ajay a little shocked by Bailey's actions toward her.
Bailey bounced into her seat, "You're going to love it Ajay."
"Wish me luck." She smiled eyeing the bar that had been hoisted into the air.
Ajay was portraying the character Blood Rayne. Her tight red corset was paired with black leather pants and stiletto boots with shiny spikes for heels. Her red wig was short and vibrant, and totally made her look even more like a vampire. She had also been fitted with fangs and two large guns. She had been raised into the air and was given her instructions for the shot they were trying to capture. She leaned back and hung upside down while the camera clicked away.
"Your boobs look great!" Bailey teased.
"Thanks!" Ajay yelled back with a smile.
"I want boobies." Aiden pouted.
"You don't need them, you're cute the way you are SoCo." Bailey laughed.
"But you're right Alex likes big boobs, look at all the girls he dated before me." Aiden protested."Yeah, but he didn't marry any of us. He didn't get with you because of your boobs or lack thereof…" Bailey reminded her.
"Thanks." Aiden interrupted sourly.
"What I mean is that you take care of him, you're responsible enough for the both of you, so he can continue being a big goofy kid, but at the same time a husband and a father. He never really was able to juggle both personas very well before you." She answered honestly.
Aiden nodded pensively as Ajay walked over after she was done with her shoot.
She raised her eyebrows, "Wow, a heart to heart between you two eh? Maybe I should dress up like a vampire and hang upside down more often."
"Ladies would you like to see the rough draft background to go with our favorite pictures you took?"
"Absolutely!" They exclaimed and rushed over to the computer screen.
Back at the house Petey and Chris were competing furiously in Madden while Alex sulked on the couch. They had revoked his playing rights after he had annihilated them in several other games. When Alex got mad he seemed to focus his anger into pummeling them in the gaming world.
"Something's not right." Alex stated quietly.
"Yeah, our girls are missing again for the third Saturday in a row." Chris replied.
"Or is it time for your diaper change and bottle?" Petey cracked.
"Whatever Oompa Loompa, seriously, there's something missing in here." He retorted.
"Yeah, our wives." Chris repeated.
Alex narrowed his eyes and began scanning the room.
"I think he's finally lost it. Nine hours without Aiden and he's gone crazy." Petey laughed.
Alex stood up and went to the display case where he kept his neatly organized collection of games.
"Three are missing." He muttered.
"Will you move your giant fucking head, you made me fumble!" Petey yelled.
Alex turned around directly into the screen, "Three of my games are missing."
Chris growled and paused the game, "What? How do you even know for sure?"
"I know, I just know, they're my VIDEO GAMES man, I practically worship them." Alex argued.
"Who cares? Get out of the way." Petey ordered.
"Ummm, I care! What if someone stole some lollipops from Lollipop Land, you would be pissed then right?" Alex shot back.
Petey stood up then, making Chris jump between them.
"What's going on here?" Bailey asked as the girls came into the room.
"Mommy!" Riley and Joey yelled, racing into Bailey and Ajay's arms.
"Something happened to three of Alex's video games." Chris explained, relieved that Petey decided to let the argument go in front of the kids.
"That was my fault actually." Aiden said stepping timidly from the back, "I was looking through them for inspiration for this collection we shot today."
"You were inspired by my video games?" Alex asked skeptically.
"Well, yeah, they're hair actually." She said pulling them from her purse to show him, "I loved her hair color, that red was gorgeous with that sky blue dress, and braids are totally in right now, you know…"
Alex stopped her with a searing kiss, "You know I don't get all of that babe."
"I guess I should have asked first." Aiden said.
"No, it's okay baby, you know how I am about them. I guess I was just frustrated that you were gone all day again." He admitted, "You're not going to have another photo shoot next week are you?"
"I might, I'm not sure yet." She said running her fingers through his dark curly hair.
She knew he was about to protest so she gave him another quick kiss, "I'm going to start dinner. Everyone's welcome to stay if you want."
She winked at the girls as she swished past them into the kitchen with the kids. Petey and Chris resumed their game as Bailey and Ajay perused Aiden's collection of magazines.
Alex sat back down silently plotting how he would keep Aiden home next Saturday. He was done with her working all day and being away from him. If she had to work and he couldn't stop her then he was going with her.
