Chapter 11: Nerves & Bachelorette Parties
It's been a long few months for Kennedy, wedding planning as well as dodging her fiancée's mood swings about dresses and cakes.
She sits at the kitchen island sipping her coffee as she hears Billy Ray, his mom and Miley quietly chatting in the living room; they had been up for two hours before the young CEO got up.
She couldn't believe how much attention their wedding was getting, tabloids trying to start cheating rumors, newspapers all wanting the inside scoop; at one point they just shut off every electronic device and enjoyed the quiet.
Of course that was when Billy Ray tried to call to tell them Mamaw was in the hospital, thankfully everything worked out and now they are here for the wedding tomorrow.
Because of all the hype, the couple had secretly changed the wedding date so it was in April instead of June.
Sipping more coffee, the woman finally feels like she is waking up, she had missed her morning snuggles but tried to shrug it off since her girl was excited; Kennedy herself seemed very calm on the outside.
Over in the living area, Mamaw was discussing the finishing touches Miley wanted in the wedding; while Billy Ray just flicked through movie channels.
Mamaw looks over to Kennedy, "Is she alright Miley?"
Miley looks over seeing Kennedy sipping her coffee, "Yeah Mamaw, she's just waking up. Though I feel bad, she likes her cuddles in the morning to wake up and I wasn't there."
"Don't worry buddy, I bet Kennedy is thinking about the parts she has to remember in the wedding, you know her vows to you." The singer's dad teased turning to a channel that had Tom & Jerry.
The raven-haired woman felt eyes on her, looking over to the living room she gives a weak smile; receiving two smiles in return, then looks out her kitchen window thinking of a day a few months back.
~Flashback to March Third~
The court room was quiet as evidence was laid out, what was found in a man's home; a shrine, letters and plans.
The Jury and Judge agreed this man was a threat physically but still needed to look at all the evidence.
The trial itself was very short, Jason plead guilty hoping for a lesser sentence however the courts didn't see it that way; after they found evidence of how far he would go to get to Kennedy.
She had cringed internally at what the police found to actually end her fiancée's life just to get to her and her money.
~End Flashback~
Suddenly there was a shatter and Kennedy cursed under her breath realizing she gripped the mug too tightly, moving quickly to the sink and putting her hand under water to clean the coffee off, pieces of ceramic and blood.
"Ken, are you okay love?" Miley asks grabbing paper towels.
The CEO grunts in response before opening the cupboard below the sink and grabbing the first aid kit.
She was stopped by a pair of hands that gently wrapped her wounded hand in a towel, while Mamaw got what they needed out of the kit.
"What were you thinking about hun?" the brunette asks trying to be gentle with her girl's hand.
"Oh about March third" Kennedy whispers as they take the towel off, and Mamaw takes tweezers to get the small pieces from the mug out.
Shaking her head, Miley gets the band aid ready for when Mamaw was done, "Sweetheart, it's done and over with."
"Ouch!" Kennedy grits her teeth, "I know baby, still pisses me off though"
The band aid is placed and the kit put away, smiling Mamaw goes back to the living room.
"Ken, do me a favor tonight?"
"What's that baby?" Kennedy asks as she flexes her hand making sure the bandage doesn't come off.
"Don't die tonight, I want you in one piece for the wedding."
Chuckling, the taller woman nods "I can do that."
"Good, I need my errr groom?" Miley looks at Kennedy confused.
"Yes love, I am considered the groom."
"Okay, I need my groom." Leaning up the singer pecks the taller woman's lips, "I better go get my stuff packed for tonight, Mamaw and Emily are kidnapping me in a couple hours for the rest of the day."
Kennedy's eyes saddened knowing she then wouldn't see Miley till the next day at the wedding.
"Why do we have to be traditional, I have the hardest time sleeping without you there with me."
Cupping the woman's cheek, the singer leans in whispering "I'll call you right before you go to sleep, we can chat and maybe that will help?"
"Can always try love," Kennedy nuzzles into the brunette's hand.
"MILEY! We need to get you ready!" Mamaw yells from down the hall.
Laughing Kennedy playfully pushes Miley to the kitchen door, "Hurry before she tears our bedroom apart!"
Miley gives Kennedy another kiss, then runs down the hall before Kennedy could hear "MAMAW NO DON'T DO THAT!"
Shaking her head, Kennedy cleans up the sink and the counter where the mug shattered and spilled the contents.
As she was wiping the counter, Billy Ray smiles getting bottled water from the fridge, "Ready for tonight Ken?"
"As ready as I ever will be, no strip clubs though…Miley would kill me, then you and then me again."
Smirking she throws the paper towels in the trash as she watches her future father-in-law down the whole bottle.
"Nah, it's gonna be more classy than that, but I did get the okay from Miles to get you a lap dance later."
Kennedy couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright I give on that, better not be too touchy feely though, so what should I wear tonight?"
"Wear that outfit you proposed in on stage remember that one?" Billy Ray tosses his bottle in the trash.
"Yeah I remember it, it's in my part of the closet still. Made sure I saved it, but why that one it's the proposal outfit?"
Smiling Billy Ray pulls Kennedy into a hug, "Trust me buddy, you'll be thanking me later."
Pulling away, Kennedy hears more bickering "Excuse me dad, gotta see what the women folk are up too and pray my bed is in one piece."
Walking out of the kitchen she hears Billy Ray snickering, she makes her way down the hall; eyes widening as she sees almost their entire closet on the king size bed.
She watches as both the elder woman and her fiancée try to find something, "Um love, what are you looking for?"
Both women stop and turn looking at Kennedy, getting red faces. "Well I was looking for a box I told you that you couldn't look into. I can't find it."
Grinning Kennedy moves to the desk, and pulls the large bottom drawer out and holds up the box, "You put it here so it wouldn't get crushed."
Snatching the box from Kennedy quickly, and placing it in her suitcase Miley eyes the taller woman, "Didn't peek did you?"
Kennedy shook her head, "I promised I wouldn't love."
"Well I think that is it then Miles?" Mamaw asks.
"Yep that's it, though we need to put these clothes back…" The singer and her grandmother slowly start to put the clothes back until Kennedy pulls the singer into a tight embrace and crushes her lips to the brunette's.
Mamaw walks out of the closet and looks away to give the girls a little privacy.
About a minute later both girls break apart to take a breath, "Go have fun, I'll take care of the clothes baby."
Miley's lips turn up into a small smile, "Are you sure, we did kinda make the mess?"
"Get that sexy lil ass of yours into the living room, so that you and Mamaw are ready when Emily comes to pick you up."
Kennedy turns Miley so she is face the door pushes her forward and smacks her ass, which makes the singer yelp and jump in surprise.
Mamaw just follows her granddaughter chuckling at the couple's antics.
The CEO begins to put the clothes away in their respective areas, making sure to keep her outfit for the night out.
After an hour or so the clothes were put away and Kennedy came out in skater shorts and a tank top just in time to see Emily walk through the front door.
"Hey Em, here to take my beautiful woman away and her gorgeous grandmother?" the raven haired woman asks, wrapping her arms around the singer from behind and resting her chin on the brunette's shoulder.
Grabbing the suitcase with a large smiley face on it, Emily nods "Sure am, won't see her till tomorrow when she walks down the aisle."
Miley leans into her lover and sighs, "Guess we better get going" turning in her fiancée's arms, she wraps her arms around the taller woman's neck and kisses her soft lips
Kissing back, Kennedy couldn't help the shiver that went up her spine or the moan that left her throat, until a throat was cleared.
Their lips parted, but they didn't let go of each other, "What?" They both look at an impatient Emily.
"You've been kissing for two minutes! No wonder Bre and Chastity have so much ammo on you guys!" the other singer exclaims.
Both Kennedy and Miley blush, but shake it off quickly, "Be safe baby, I will miss you," kissing the smaller woman one more time and then letting her go.
Both women already missing the contact.
"You be safe too, and dad no strippers!" The singer grins, giving her dad a wink that Kennedy doesn't see.
Billy Ray and Ken watch as all the women leave; then they sit on the couch with a couple of beers and turn on the sports channel.
"Now this is how to start the afternoon." Kennedy states with a smirk.
"Yeah buddy, got that right."
~Few hours later at Emily's Apartment~
"I say these facial masks really revitalize the skin," Mamaw states as she takes a sip of her Champaign.
Miley took one of the cucumbers of her eye and ate it, "Yeah and a snack to boot too." Making all three of them laugh.
"So where are we going tonight, remember there is something I have to go do at a certain time tonight?"
"Out to eat and then a surprise, don't worry you will have time for your special thing." Emily replies as she paints her toe nails.
Miley stands and walks to the kitchen, "Okay, I am washing this mask off," turning on the spout, she grabs a wash cloth.
"I'll clean my face after you dear, right now though I want another cucumber slice," her grandmother states popping a slice in her mouth.
Emily turned the stereo up as Miley's new duet came on the radio.
"This is the new song from Miley Cyrus, who will be Miley Cyrus-Souls soon, enjoy everybody!'
As the song began to play, Kennedy's husky voice was heard singing the first few verses and then it switched to Miley.
"Miles this song is great, who knew Kennedy had such a great voice!" Emily says excitedly as she finishes her toes.
"Thanks Em, it took a lot of coaxing and promises of sexual favors to get her to do it!" the singer says through a damp wash cloth.
Her grandmother splutters at the statement and tries to hide the blush on her cheeks as Emily just laughs a deep belly laugh.
The singer realizes what she just said and keeps her face behind the wash cloth as she feels her face heat up.
"I'm going to go into the bathroom and wash my face girls." Mamaw quickly makes a her retreat.
"Oh my god, I said that in front of my grandmother!" the singer face-palms as she puts the wash cloth in the sink, "I will never live this down."
"Oh I dunno, though it's something to tell Ken later on." The blonde says as she starts to wash her own face, but suddenly gets wacked in the back of the head, "Hey, what was that for!?"
She looks up into blue eyes and gulps at the glare she is receiving.
"You. Will. NOT. Tell. Ken." The brunette emphasizes each word in a low warning tone.
"Yes ma'am."
"Good, now let's have fun!"
Both girls run down the hall to put on their outfits for the evening.
~Back at the Condo~
"C'mon buddy, we don't want to be late!" Billy Ray yells as he grabs his sport coat.
Kennedy came scurrying down the hall, "I'm ready gees! Where the hell are we going where I have to wear this outfit?" She asks looking in a hall mirror to adjust her Fedora.
As promised, she wore her loose black jeans with the silver chains attached to her belt, with the other end attached to a black wallet with a steel star on it. Her burgundy collared shirt still fit perfectly and she had the first top three buttons undone; to finish it off she wore the sport coat with the blood red silk lining and her black fedora with the red band around it.
"You look great Ken, and you'll see why when we get to our destination after dinner." Grabbing her arm, he pushes her out of the condo and locks the door.
They walk down to the parking garage, and Kennedy is shocked to see a limo parked by her vehicles, "Not taking my rides I see."
The chauffer moves to the back door, opening it for them to get in; as Kennedy climbs in she screams seeing some of her friends from back east that she hadn't seen in years.
"OH MY GOD!" She hugs a brunette named Zach, a blonde named Kayla and a raven haired woman known as Alice, "Wait where is Bre?"
"She's meeting us at our dinner reservation." Billy Ray replies sitting down and closing the door; soon they were moving as everyone chatted and caught up.
Soon they arrived at a premier steakhouse, being ushered into a roped off VIP area; everyone sat down and ordered drinks.
Then Billy Ray stands, "A small toast, to a woman that has captured the heart of my daughter and in turn mine; Kennedy we wish you the best and good luck handling my daughter!"
Everyone raised their glasses chuckling then took a drink; just then the waiter came and took their orders and left.
"So Ken, where is the honeymoon gonna be?" Zach asks sipping his beer.
"It's a surprise, Miley doesn't know where she is going and I am not telling anyone till' we get there." The CEO states with a mischievous smile.
Everyone laughs, "Is it at least Tropical?" Bri asks.
"It might be, might not be…" Kennedy trails off with a smirk, everyone seeing they won't get any hint out of her; they all begin chatting idly till' their food arrives.
~At Emily's Apartment~
"Mmmm that was a good place for dinner Em's, but now I gotta go get ready for my thing I gotta do!" Miley states running down the hall.
Emily looks at her best friend's grandmother, "Do you know what she is doing?"
Shrugging Mamaw places her purse on the counter, "Sweetie I have no clue, all I know is she will be gone for a few hours and we are not allowed to go with her."
"I'm going to see what's up" the blonde says as she starts to creep down the hall to where Miley's old room is, peeking around the corner she sees her friend placing a few pieces of clothing in a bag and zipping it up.
Noticing Miley is about to come out, she hurries back down the hall and acts like she was never spying; as she strikes up a conversation with Mamaw.
"Okay, I will be back in a few hours," Miley states hugging both women, "Have fun while I'm gone!"
With that she was out the door.
"Well whatever she is doing, she is gonna change into some kind of outfit." The blonde says as she plops on the couch and turns on the TV.
"Oh I almost forgot, Billy Ray said to watch channel five at nine tonight, let's not forget." Mamaw sits down and they try to decide on what to watch till then.
~In The Limo~
"Dad where the hell are we going!?" Kennedy asks for the tenth time, having been blind folded since dinner and no one would tell her anything.
Everyone in the limo sat quietly not wanting to give anything as the vehicle pulls to a stop, slowly they get out and there was a roar from a nearby crowd; however Ken stayed blind folded as she was guided down a carpet and into what seems like a large building.
Once inside she was instructed to side down and they started moving again; on what she guessed was a golf cart.
A few more turns and the golf cart stops; again she is guided through a few doors and up a some steps, for a moment she thought she heard a crowd murmur but shook it off as she was placed in a seat.
~Meanwhile backstage~
Miley was hurrying as she put on her tight fitted jeans, and the barely there red top that matched her fiancée's shirt; this had been planned for a few month's with some of Miley's (and now Kennedy's) most loyal fans.
"Hey Miles, almost ready?" Came a voice from behind the door to her dressing room.
"Yes, is she in position?" The singer finished the last touches to her outfit; adding a red metallic chain to her pants and a baseball cap.
"She is, and she is clueless."
"Good start the music I'll be out in thirty seconds!"
"Will do, good luck!" came the voice one more time before there was silence again.
The singer put the head mic on and left the dressing room, stepping onto the platform that would raise her up to the stage.
She saw Kennedy still blindfolded on the stage as the music begins, it was there duet; she also noticed that Kennedy had a mic in her hand.
The plan was Kennedy was told to wait till the second verse of a song that plays and then go with it from there.
The raven haired woman tensed but then relaxed hearing the familiar tune smiling to herself until she heard a huge crowd scream; she wanted to pull the blindfold off but was told someone else would take it off for her.
What she didn't know was Miley had gotten on stage, smiling and waving to the crowd as she starts to sing, but changing her voice slightly so it wasn't recognizable.
The singer trails her hand over her fiancée's shoulders, then straddles her lap as the music sped up just a bit and goes into the chorus, beginning to give Kennedy a very sensual lap dance.
Then quickly Miley takes off the blindfold, the CEO blinks seeing stage lights on her and a huge crowd in front of her; looking up she grins seeing Miley.
Hearing her queue in the music she begins to sing, as the brunette continues to dance in her lap; the older woman's free hand trails up and down her fiancée's body.
The crowd went wild as the two interacted, singing together and separately; their voices complimenting one another.
Kennedy who was singing the last chorus was starting to feel the heat from the lights, so slowly strips off her sport coat to the cheers and applause of the audience; Miley eyes brighten seeing the other woman strip a bit.
As Kennedy went to stand, the brunette playfully but forcefully pushed her back into the chair and shaking a finger at her as a new song starts to play.
With a curious smile, the CEO gives in and stays seated as Miley moves behind her and dances against her back; both the singers' arms caressing the older woman's stomach, shoulders and sides.
Miley's voice has dropped a few octaves by now, singing huskily as they put on a show for their fans; but knowing this was more for Kennedy than anyone.
After the song finishes, the brunette pulls Ken out of her seat and someone comes and takes it away when a beat starts; thankfully the taller woman recognized the beat for the tango and pulls the singer to her as they begin to dance across the stage.
As they continue to dance, Selena Gomez is hit with a spotlight as she sings; shocking Kennedy pleasantly, she never thought her last night as a free woman would be so alive.
As the song closed, the couples slow the dancing and hug each other.
"Everyone welcome to Miley and Kennedy's last night as free women!" Selena yells out over the stadium. "By this time tomorrow, these two lucky women will be married and the world will gain a power house duo!"
The audience jumps to their feet cheering and applauding, happy for the couple.
"Now if you will bid them goodnight, they are outta here!"
The couple waves to the audience, then leaves the stage hand in hand; once back stage Kennedy pulls the smaller woman into a kiss.
"Mmmmmm, now that is a way to celebrate the night before we get married." Kennedy states as she pulls back grinning.
"Uh huh" was the only reply the taller woman got, before soft lips were crushed to hers again; both women getting lost in the kiss for a few minutes.
Finally coming back for air once more, Miley steps back "I better get back, I bet Em and Mamaw are blowing up my phone right now."
Kennedy looks at her curiously, "Why is that?"
"Cause' this was televised tonight on channel four." the smirk on the singers face getting bigger as Ken's eyes show shock.
"Ain't that a nice lilt id bit of info, but you know what…I wouldn't change anything."
Hugging Miley tightly, Kennedy sighs, "I guess now I won't see you till tomorrow at noon when we get hitched huh?"
Nodding the singer runs a hand up and down Kennedy's back soothingly "That's the plan babe."
"For the record I hate this tradition."
Laughing loudly, the brunette kisses her love's cheek; not wanting to tempt anything by kissing her lips for now.
"We only have to do it this once, and then we never have to spend a night apart if we don't want too."
Nuzzling into Miley's hair, the CEO whispers against her ear, "I am very much looking forward to that."
The taller woman feels the singer's body quiver and smile into the brown hair, then pries herself away from her fiancée.
"Okay no more touching or I will take you into a room and ravage you."
Chuckling Miley nods, "Alright, so what are you doing now?"
"I have no idea, your dad has been planning this night, hopefully go home and sleep, if I can sleep that is. It's close to midnight already." Ken says looking at her watch.
"Yeah I'm heading to Em's apartment to crash, I will see you tomorrow future Mrs. Souls."
Leaning forward, they met for a quick final kiss.
"See you at the altar, I'll be the one in Red and white." Kennedy replies.
"I'll be there lover" Both women slowly back away and then turn heading in opposite directions.
~Back at the apartment~
"Well that was surprising and entertaining"
Emily nods, "That was sweet of Miles though, I know how stressed Kennedy has been that she won't be sleeping with her girl beside her tonight."
"Yes, I saw that this morning. That woman seems to need Miley to breathe." Mamaw stated thinking back to earlier that day.
"That's just it, they do need each other to breathe, the connection those two have, I hope I have with Selena."
The blonde turns off the TV as her apartment door opens and her best friend enters.
"Hey ya'll, enjoy the show?" the singer asks as she sets down her bag.
"Oh yeah, you really gave your future wife a show I tell ya!" The blonde responds with a smirk.
Giggling, the brunette nods "I had to do something to calm her down."
"Well sweetheart, you probably succeeded, though I have never seen you move like that before," Mamaw states, never seeing her granddaughter for one to give lap dances.
Miley's cheeks redden as she looks everywhere but at her Mamaw, "Yes, um well I can give my woman a lap dance whenever I want."
A teasing smile forms on Mamaw's lip, "Oh this we saw tonight dear, don't think anyone who saw that will forget it."
The blonde singer was watching Miley as her grandmother teased her, trying hard not to laugh at how red her best friend was getting.
"I'm uhhh gonna go shower and go to bed, see ya in the morning!" Miley says a bit loudly and disappears down the hall.
As soon as Miley was gone, Emily lets out a loud laugh and holds her sides, "Oh god, that was priceless!"
Mamaw smiles and they high fived, "I may be old to some, but I still got a quick wit. I'm going to head to bed as well, see you in the morning Emily."
"Night Mamaw"
The blonde soon followed suite and went to bed.
~At the condo~
Kennedy fell into the king size bed sighing, Billy Ray had gone to the guestroom as soon as they got back from dropping everyone else off at their hotel.
She felt along the bed, already feeling small in the bed considering she usually never slept alone.
'Oh for fuck sake Ken, it's just for one night, you can survive one damn night!' she thought as she slowly stripped and crawled under the covers.
She hugs Miley's pillow to her and closes her eyes, 'Soon I won't ever have to live without her ever again'
She dozed off with a smile on her face, and the feeling of love in her heart she never thought she would have.
TBC
Well part 1 is done and OMG it took forever to write (then again over 4k words would take a while).
