Adam's POV
The Bash Brothers were waiting for us outside of the tux shop when we approached and I couldn't but wonder how we'd ever find a suit that would look right on all of us. From having to be cut right to compliment our burly enforcers large frames, to being the right colors to make pale me and Guy look washed out, or be to dark for Jesse.
As soon as Guy, who had taken the lead pushed the door to the place open, we were being pounced on by fast talking, well dressed men, with Italian accents. Honestly I suddenly felt like I stepped onto the set of a bad mafia movie. It was slightly frightening.
"Good afternoon gentlemen, how can I help you today?" Mobster number one asked.
Portman being raised by a tuff Italian man like his father Sonny, was at all intimated by the suit clad man.
"We need to try on some stuff for a wedding."
You could practically see the dollar signs flash in the Tony Soprano look alike's eyes. A group of young guys like us a wedding party? He must've thought he'd be able to swindle us good. Unfortunately for him I was as my friends so kindly put, a Cake-Eater. Which meant shopping for formal wear wasn't uncommon for me, I knew my stuff.
"Great, great, is the groom with us today?" The man queried.
Charlie and I both raised our hands with huge smiles. I swelled with such pride to have someone other then our friends and family know I was getting married. I was marrying the man I loved.
"Oh a double wedding…" The tux salesmen said.
"No." Charlie told him.
"You're gay?"
"Yes we are." Charlie, Portman, Fulton and I all declared at the same time.
When the man looked like he was just about to have a heart attack Guy added.
"Yeah, us too. Aren't we Hun?" And tossed an arm around Jesse's shoulder.
"You know what they say 'Once you go dick, you never want chick.' And Guy here is the best lover ever." Jesse played along even going as far as to pinch Guy in the ass.
I rolled my eyes at Jesse's over kill but the store keep seemed to buy it. All I have to say is thank god those two aren't really a couple, I don't think the world could handle it.
"Well right this way please." As the man led us toward the back of the store, our best men began to banter.
"I can't believe you grabbed my butt!" Guy whispered fiercely.
Jesse only laughed.
"Hey you started it, consider yourself lucky I didn't kiss ya."
"But you pinched my butt, Connie doesn't even pinch my butt."
"You and Connie have been together longer then I've known you guys and you're still not getting any Guy? No wonder you wanna start playing for our side." Fulton teased.
"I'm not gay." Guy muttered crossing his arms like a child.
"Sure you're not Guy, we believe you." Portman joked with phony sarcasm.
I shook my head.
"Come on everyone, we've got clothes to try on, let's give Guy a break."
"He's right." Charlie spoke up and I smiled, he was taking my side. "Besides, it's no Germaine's fault that he's in denial."
"Do the words 'sleeping on the couch.' mean anything to you?" I enquired of my fiancé.
"Time to stop playing?"
"Oh yeah."
Charlie grinned sheepishly and our friends all started chuckling at him.
"I guess we see who wears the pants in that relationship." Jesse stated. Haha, I was in control.
It wasn't actually all that hard to find the perfect outfit. In fact it took half as long as I thought it would. We decided not get ties, or the collar pins and we where just going to leaver our shirts open at the neck. I was going in a light blue oxford shirt with a dark blue vest, Charlie was wearing the same only in opposite colors his vest was and his shirt dark. Jesse as my best-man was wearing a white shirt with light blue vest, Guy a dark blue vest and the Bash Brothers white shirts and dark blue vest with light blue checks. We all got black jackets and pants, and ordered those shiny Patten leather shoes. I know as soon as I saw Charlie in his suit it was going to be a beautiful wedding.
As a gift for being in the wedding party, I had offered to pay for the suit rental for everyone and I was smirking like a fool as I hand my credit card over to the clerk. Charlie had and arm around my waist and was trying to tickle my hip. However I refused to break out in laughter in the store. But a cheek splitting smile was taking over my face. That was until the man in the suit came back to the counter with my credit card in hand.
"I'm sorry Mr. Banks but you're credit card was been denied, it's been cancelled."
I was shocked.
"Cancelled? How can that be?"
"You're father." Charlie whispered
I rubbed my temples and closed my eyes. My father was out to get me, it was obvious. How in the hell was I going to afford to put on a wedding on my salary? It wasn't like Jan was going to give me a raise to pay for tuxes. And without my Visa Card I had no idea what to do. Luckily Guy ran out to Jesse's car and got his check book. He paid the deposit and told my just to get it back to him when I could. The only thing I worried about was the fact he shared that account with Connie, so I hoped it didn't cause problems between them. He said it wouldn't but I don't know.
After we left the shop went over to the Jan's and burrowed some skates and sticks, since it was easier then just going to everyone's house. We drove the pond where the weddings going to be held and we played like we did when we were younger. I had a great time, it almost made me forget about my dad, but not quite. What was I going to do?
