Jet Black Orbs Part II
"Likewise, Mary refused to tell me what you two went shopping for. I'll see you there in three hours. Don't be late."
Giving his wife one last hug, he exited the room and headed to meet up with the men.
Quickly Molly finished her day's work at the pathology lab then sought out her ally for getting themselves ready for tonight's event.
"Mary! I'm heading home now. Want to come over to my place?" Molly asked juggling between her paperwork, personal bags, and the mobile whilst walking out the hospital doors, "Sherlock just dropped by to see me off like he does everyday when I finish work, but today I sent him to meet with John. You know, for tonight's big case thing."
"Wonderful timing dear. The men just stormed up the stairs causing quite a racket. I'm a bit worried for how the house will look if I leave," she joked whilst gathering up her elegant evening gown, brand new high heels, and the cosmetic pouch, "I'm nearly about to leave. Meet you at the flat."
The two rung off and each scurried around frantically trying to get to the flat as quickly as public transportation would take them.
Some how, perhaps by chance, the two arrived to Molly's flat at the same time. After setting down and finally organising all the materials needed for the evening, the two ladies set about dressing up to the level fit for a masquerade.
A considerable amount of time was spent on making sure every single strand of hair was in its proper places and doused with about half a litre of hairspray to ensure it's co-operation for the entire night. After make-up and hairstyles were finally adjusted to suit each one's liking, the two ladies eagerly donned the lavishly embellished ball gowns.
"You know, Sherlock must have hounded me about twenty different ways wanting to know what we kind of dresses we went shop for that afternoon" Mary mused as she laced up the back of Molly's floor-length dress, "For once he couldn't deduce it and I'm very glad of it! Hate to spoil such a fine night with his unwanted deductions. Let him be surprised every now and then. Especially with the looks of you tonight will be extra special for him."
"Oh, stop it." Molly blushed a deep red and rubbed her cheeks in attempts to cover it, "He is very persistent, isn't he? Tried to wheedle the information out of me this afternoon too, but I wouldn't have it. Well, in all fairness, he wouldn't show me what he would wear except for those horrid black contacts. He claimed they were for this case, but I never know what exactly to think with the man. He's a strange one, but my crazy husband."
Molly twirled her finger motioning for Mary to turn around, "It's your turn to let me fasten your dress. Just think of John's face when you step out of the limousine tonight, I am sure it will be a moment to capture. I don't think I've ever worn a dress to this extravagance before. Both of us in lace-up corset gowns with complimentary high-heels and jewels to accompany it. My entire wedding attire wasn't even half this complicated."
"Enjoy it, because I'm enjoying my part of it. I don't think we'll ever have another chance like this again." She pondered for a moment, " No, it wasn't complicated, but it was beautiful cream-white one. Sweetheart neckline with three-quarter laced-trimmed sleeves suited you well," Mary pointed out as she replaced the Holmes' wedding photo album on Molly's vanity.
"I sure won't forget Sherlock's expression when John described to him how stunning you looked coming down the aisle. I know you're the photographer captured that moment for keep-sakes as well as all the guests." Mary fingered the frame of the photo she described.
"Yes, he does have a nice smile," Molly smiled back at the photo recalling the happiest day of her life, "Well, when he actually decides to smile instead of scowl at everything."
Come," she motioned to the doorway, "let's stay in the sitting room. We have about twenty minutes until our chauffeur arrives. How do you think the men are faring?"
"Hard to tell, but I would assume not nearly as efficient as they would claim to be considering your husband despises bow ties and neckties with equal passion. So, I would think they haven't even pulled the clothes of the hangers yet."

Part III to come as soon as possible, same with WOEO Chapter 29.
Also, I've seen the word "prick" written in several different stories here on this site. I really hope it isn't a terribly offensive word-at least that is what the dictionary I looked in said. I'm really sorry if it is, I don't mean to use it. As I'm not a Briton, could someone leave a comment or message me and answer few questions I have about certain words and phrases. Thanks!
