Kendall arrived back at the suite shortly after 6:30.
"I'm Home" She called as she came in carrying two garment bags. There was no answer so she walked into the bedroom where she could hear Zach in the shower. She laid his garment bag on the bed and went to the guest bathroom to get her own shower.
After a quick shower, Kendall began to get ready
" Kendall can I see you a minute " Zach called from the living room. "I think there has been some mix up with my costume"
" I'll be out in a minute" she answered, with a quiet giggle to herself
A few minutes later Kendall came out of the bathroom. Zach was at the mini bar, his back to her, pouring himself a drink. He was dressed only in a bath towel.
"Mind pouring me one of those" she said as she came up behind him
"Sure" he said as he reached for another glass
"So what's wrong with your costume ?" Kendall asked
"There has to be some sort of a mix up because ………." Zach began to say as he turned around to hand Kendall her drink, but he stopped suddenly when he saw her standing there.
Kendall stood before him wearing nothing but a short black wig, a black leather bikini, 3" black leather high heel boots that came just above her knee, a black studded collar around her neck , and in her hand she held a whip
"You like ? " Kendall said as she did a slow turn so Zach could take a good look
"Wow, umm, Yeah I like it." he said with a grin " I guess that explains the outfit I found in the bedroom. Kendall you can't honestly expect me to wear that outfit "
"Of course I do, why wouldn't I ?" she replied
"Honey, I am a businessman , owner of this casino, what would people think ?" he said trying to plead his case
Kendall set her drink down on the bar and took his hand "Zach, who cares what everyone thinks? I want people to see the Zach I know and love. The guy who is funny and caring. You let me in, why cant you let other people see that side of you as well. You know there is no law that says you always have to be a hard ass, it is ok to loosen up and have fun. "
" I don't know Kendall" he said
"for me, please " she begged
He just looked into those big eyes of hers and was a goner. "For you " he said as he turned and went in the bedroom to get dressed
A few minutes later he came back out "I feel totally ridiculous , cant we come up with some other idea, or better yet just forget the party all together"
Kendall took one look at Zach and got a big grin on her face. He was wearing snug fitting leather pants, black leather boots, a black leather vest with no shirt on underneath . He also had a matching leather choker on like the one Kendall had on
"I know what you are dressed up as, but can you please explain to me what I am suppose to be " he said as he was tugging on the choker around his neck
" My sex slave " she answered with a giggle
" I will gladly be your sex slave, but do I need a costume ? Cant we just stay here and I will show you how much of a sex slave I am ?" he pleaded
"Nope, and if we don't get a move on we are going to be late" she said as she played with her whip
"Maybe I should take that thing from you, you seem to be enjoying it way to much" he said as he kissed her
By the time they arrived downstairs the party had already started.
Zach looked around the room in amazement. Kendall had gone all out on the decorations, she even went so far as to have a fog machines to add to the atmosphere.
Dr. Martin and his wife Ruth, dressed as pilgrims, were the first ones they spotted.
"Dr. Joe, Ruth, Thank you so much for coming" Kendall said as they approached them.
"Kendall, umm, Thank you so much for having us " Ruth said
"How are you feeling Zach ? " Dr. Martin asked him as he shook his hand
"I feel just fine, Thank you." he replied
They talked for a few more minutes, "Please enjoy yourselves." Zach said as him and Kendall left the couple .
Zach couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ruth asking Joe about Kendall's costume after they had left
"Joe, what was Kendall supposed to be dressed as ?" Ruth asked
"I'm not quite sure Dear, but you know how these young kids are now a days" he responded
Next they ran into Simone and Ethan, who were dressed at Trinity and Neo from the movie the Matrix
"Wow Kendall you look hot" Simone exclaimed " I wish I would of thought of that "
"Thanks, but I think you look great yourself" Kendall replied
Zach and Ethan just looked at each other.
"Gee Dad, I didn't know you were into that sort of thing " Ethan joked with Zach
"Believe me, this wasn't my idea " Zach quickly pointed out
Simone pulled Kendall to the side while Zach and Ethan continued to talk
"God Kendall who would of thought Zach was so hot" Simone commented " I mean he is always in a suit, you cant tell"
All Kendall could do was laugh
A little while later they ran into Erica and Jackson. Erica was dressed as Maid Marian
"Kendall Darlin', don't you look, uhh comfortable" Erica said as she came over and gave her a hug
"Hello Mother " she replied "You look nice as usual "
Jackson, who was dressed as Robin Hood, tights and all, walked over by Zach
"I wont say anything about what you are wearing if you don't say anything about what I'm wearing " Jack said to Zach
"Deal " Zach replied "Let me ask you something Jackson. How do we let them talk us into these things ?"
"I wish I knew" he replied
"Kendall I was just wondering if you had a chance to look over the papers I had drawn up for you ?" Erica whispered
"Mother, I don't know how many times I can tell you this before you finally get it, but I am not divorcing Zach. We love each other. I suggest you learn to accept Zach and that fact that we want a real marriage and a life together and get over it"
"But Kendall you don't understand "
"No Mother, you are the one who doesn't understand. Zach makes me happy, he is who I want to be with" Kendall said as she glanced over at Zach and Jack with a look that screamed for help
"Erica, isn't that Opal over there ?" Jack said as he came over
"Where ?" Erica said as she looked around
"Over there," he said as he pointed across the room " dressed in the 20's Flapper outfit, and if I am not mistaken isn't that Palmer dressed up as a gangster ?"
"I think you are right" Erica answered
"Well maybe we should go say Hello and leave these two to great their guests" he said as he guided her away.
Next to arrive was JR, dressed as an Arabian Prince, who was accompanied by Babe who was dressed as a Belly Dancer. Krystal and Adam were close behind and came as Hugh Hefner and a Playboy Bunny.
"Kendall that's some outfit you have on there" JR commented. Then he leaned in and whispered in her ear "You were holding out on me"
"Evening Junior " Zach said as he wrapped his arm around Kendall's waist " shouldn't you be out trick or treating with the rest of the youngsters ? "
"Slater" he said as he took a step towards Zach
"Alright boys, time to break this up " Babe said as she took hold of JR's arm
"Get off me Babe" JR said as he pulled his arm out of her hand
"Oh don't ya'll look cute " Krystal said as her and Adam came closer "Kind of reminds ya of our wedding night doesn't it Adam"
"God don't remind me" Adam said as he gulped down his drink
"I think I'm gonna be sick " JR said
"You and me both " Babe added
"Ya know Sugar, you might get more use out of hand cuffs then you will that whip" Krystal suggested
"Hmm, Hand cuffs, that's a thought " Zach said with a grin
"Don't get any ideas" Kendall said as she started to walk away
"But Snookems " Zach said as he went after her
Kendall went over to the bar "Cosmopolitan please"
"And a scotch " Zach added
"Well if it isn't the Happy Couple " Myrtle said as she came up
"Mrs. Fargate, don't you look lovely " Zach said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek
Kendall turned around to see Myrtle standing there dressed as a Gypsy
"Myrtle, you look wonderful" Kendall said as she gave her a hug
"Not half as wonderful as the two of you do. You know Darlin', if I was a few years younger, I believe I would have to make a play for that husband of yours."
Kendall laughed and Zach blushed
"If you ladies will excuse me for a moment" Zach said as he excused himself
" So Darlin' tell me, have you told Erica about the wedding yet ?" Myrtle asked
Kendall just let out a sigh "No, and I'm not going to either, at least not until the day of the wedding"
"But Kendall" Myrtle started to say
"Myrtle you don't understand " Kendall cut in " I would love to have my Mother helping me with the plans for the wedding, I really would. But she refuses to believe that Zach and I love each other. Do you know she has tried to get me to divorce him every chance she can. Just last week she had divorce papers drawn up for me"
"You cant be serious" Myrtle gasped
"I'm afraid I am" Kendall replied " I want this wedding to be perfect, and if my Mother knows about it before hand, she will do everything she can to stop it. We told Jack this afternoon though "
"How did he take the news ? " Myrtle asked
"Oh Myrtle, it was great. Do you know Zach actually asked Jack for his permission to marry me, it was so sweet" Kendall said as she beamed
"I always said that man had class, and don't you worry about what anyone says about Zach, he is a good man and as long as you know that, nothing else matters" She said
"Well Jack agreed to give me away and he also said that he wont tell my Mother anything" Kendall added
"Well you have Jackson on your side, so that's a good thing. " Myrtle smiled
"Enough about my Mother, how are things coming with my dress ?" Kendall asked
" I am working on the embroidery now, I will need you to come by to try it on one day next week if you have the time" she replied
"Just let me know when and I will be there " Kendall answered
Kendall looked around for Zach and finally spotted him talking to Tad who came as Sherlock Holmes, and Aiden who was dressed like a swashbuckler
"I just wanted to Thank the both of you for everything you did to find the Dragon while I was in the hospital " Zach said to Tad and Aiden
'No problem Mate " Aiden said "Glad it all worked out"
"Ya know Slater, I think I was wrong about you. " Tad said "It took me a while to see it, but you are a pretty decent guy."
"Oh yeah ? Well don't let my secret get out " Zach said
"No I'm serious. At first I thought the only reason you wanted to help Julia was because of Maria, but I was wrong, and I'm sorry" Tad admitted
"Well you aren't so bad yourself" Zach added "I'm going to go find my wife, enjoy yourselves "
Zach spotted Kendall talking to two people who were dressed as a Pirate and his wench, after a moment he realized it was Greenlee and David. On his way over to her he ran into Marian and Stewart
"Hi Zach " Stewart said "This is a really nice party. Thank you for inviting me and Marian "
"You are more then welcome Stewart" Zach replied
"Do you like our costumes ? Marian is Mona Lisa and I am Leonardo DaVinci " He asked
"They are wonderful Stewart" Zach smiled
"So Zach, tell me, how is the house coming along ? " Marian asked
"It's moving right along, ahead of schedule the last I heard. " he answered "Kendall and I really appreciate everything you have done to expedite the sale of the house."
"Oh it was my pleasure, I was just glad I was able to help, and that house is just so beautiful, it really suit's the two of you" Marian smiled
"Marian look its Brooke, she looks like Marilyn Monroe, and Jamie is with her, oh look he looks like a Doctor , and Amanda is there too, but I'm not sure who she is supposed to be" Stewart said
"I believe she is Daisy Duke " Kendall said as she walked up to them
"Hi Kendall don't you look nice " Stewart said
"Hi Stewart" Kendall said as she hugged him "You and Marian look great. I hope you are having a good time "
"Oh yes we are" he said
"Stewart, there's Livia and Tom, lets go say hello" Marian suggested
"alright. It was nice seeing the two of you" Stewart said before they left
"I think your little party was a success Mrs. Slater" Zach said as he wrapped his arms around Kendall
"I think so" she smiled "So are you having a good time ? "
" Anytime I am with you, I have a good time " he answered "However I would like to talk more about those hand cuffs Krystal suggested "
"You are impossible " she laughed
"You are dressed like that and expect me to behave myself ? Oh speaking of your outfit, can we bring those boots with us on our Honeymoon ?" he said with a grin
"As long as you bring the leather pants" she laughed
The party went on a few more hours before it finally died down.
When Zach and Kendall returned to their suite, they were both exhausted. They quickly changed then crawled into bed where they fell asleep in each others arms
