"So!" Izzy smiled as she flipped through Willow's wedding binder, with even more pink post-its sticking out of it than before. "We have the dress. Tomorrow we'll all meet here before going to check out bridesmaids dresses and Felicia is going to bring over the center pieces she had been working on, supposedly." She rolled her eyes at her chocolate brown-haired friend. Felicia ignored her, furiously texting on her phone. "What are you doing anyways?" Looking over her shoulder as Felicia clutched the phone to her chest.
"Nothing! I'm listening. The center pieces are almost done. Donnie helped me with them the other night. He's actually really good at that sotra thing. I wouldn't have taken him for a Arts and Crafts guy." She smiled going back to her phone reaching down every now and again to pet Boba's head.
"Who are you texting so intently?" Willow asked over her shoulder as she started on dinner.
"N-no one." Felicia smiled meekly as her phone chirped with another text.
"It's Raph." Riley said rolling her eyes. "They've been texting each other all day. He's coming over here in like an hour you can't wait?" She laughed as Izzy snorted in laughter herself.
"I can wait." Felicia defended. "We're just talking about something private." She shrugged as her phone chirped again and a large smile went over her face.
"Oh. My. God." Willow said turning to her friend and looking over Felicia's shoulder. "You're sexting aren't you?" She exclaimed as Felicia placed the phone to her chest again.
"No! No I am not! We're... Just..." Her phone went off again and everyone looked at her with large smiles. "Shut up!" She said getting from the chair and going into the living room. Boba looking up at her and waging her tail as she went over to Willow and laid at her feet.
"Hello mumma's girl. How are you baby?" Willow cooed to the aging dog, leaning down and letting Boba lick some red sauce from her finger. "There's my good baby."
"I think it's cute." Riley shrugged going over to the stove and tasting Willow's sauce as well with an extra spoon that was on the counter.
"Really?" Willow asked in disbelief as Riley shrugged again. "Why cute all of a sudden?"
"I don't know... I mean her and Raph like each other that's more than obvious..."
"What about you and Mikey?" Izzy asked, flipping nonchalantly through the wedding binder as she sipped her wine.
"Mikey and I are..." Riley smiled to herself thinking of the day she had yesterday. The talk they shared, the emotional roller-coaster she had never experienced with anyone else before. Someone opening up and becoming so raw in front of her, it made her heart clench at the thought.
"You're what?" Willow hedged looking at her friend as she rolled some meatballs around in a frying pan.
"We're... Getting to know each other better." She smiled finally with sip of her beer.
"Really? Like him, him? Or just...him." Willow asked as Izzy looked up at her like she was crazy.
"What? He's either him or he isn't him. Riley knows the difference between the two." Izzy defended as Riley and Willow both looked over at her now like she was crazy. "What?"
"I do know the difference. You're right." Riley said, chuckling in disbelief. "I really like Mikey for himself not just that human form but, just Mikey too. We had a talk yesterday and it was... nice." She shrugged as Felicia came into the living room and took her seat back at the small kitchen table.
"What was nice?" She asked placing her phone into her back pocket.
"The talk yesterday with Mike." Riley said taking a seat next to Felicia.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry again for that! I just saw him crying and you were and I just didn't know what you..."
"You both were crying?" Willow asked, concerned taking a seat and picking up her wine glass with a sip. "Why?"
"Mikey and I just had a talk, that's all." Riley shrugged, pushing her empty beer bottle around the table looking over at Felicia as her mousey friend grimaced.
"Sorry..."
"It's ok Fee." Riley said with a smile tugging on her friends pigtail.
"Ok... So that's it? We're just gonna ignore the crying thing and no one is gonna tell me what happened?" Willow asked. Riley rolled her eyes.
"There's nothing to tell. Mikey and I had a discussion about us. That's it. Felicia was at the liar with Raph and noticed Mikey was upset about what we were talking about and Felicia got defensive. Mikey told her is wasn't like she thought and that was that." She shrugged as Willow eyed her friend carefully.
"Ok... As long as you two are good now...?" She asked and Riley nodded her get, getting from the table to grab another beer.
"We're great."
"Can we get back to this please?" Izzy asked pushing the binder into the middle of the table.
"Yes, yes. Let's finish this so we can finally be done! My head is going to explode from all this crap." Willow groaned as Izzy hissed disapprovingly.
Boba's head lifted from the rug in front of the stove as a small bark came from her chops. April, Casey and Hayden walked through the apartment door all of them shaking the wet, cold rain from their jackets. Boba's tail wagged has her head relaxed against the floor.
"Man it's really coming down out there." Casey said, shaking out his long, black hair. April smirked tucking a wild stand behind his ear.
"I hope the guys will be ok." Felicia said looking out behind her at the large bay window.
"Oh, they'll be fine. They've handled worse than a little rain." April smiled patting Felicia's head in passing. She leaned down and gave Willow a kiss on the cheek. "So, where are we in the planning?" She asked grabbing herself a wine glass from the cabinet as Hayden tossed Casey a beer.
"Well, all we seem to have left is the DJ which Willow can't seem to decide on." Izzy said arching a perfectly manicured brow at her indecisive friend.
"They're names are just all ridiculous. I mean looket..." Willow said opening the page to the 'DJ' section. "Lady Spinbad, DJ Succubus, Circle the Drain I mean c'mon! I want the wedding to be a little classy. But, all these idiots are jackasses and over priced."
"Ok, so what about a band?" April suggested as she took a seat next to Willow, pulling the binder to her and flipping to the next page.
"Oh God, the bands are even worse! I'm nervous it's going to be like in the Hangover and they're covers are gonna sound horrible. I mean, we'd be better off with a band if we just had Hayden do it." She chuckled as Izzy, Felicia and Riley all looked at her and then to Hayden who was stealing a piece of meatball from the frying pan.
"What?" He asked with a full mouth. Willow looked up at her friends and arched a brow.
"What?"
"Well..." Riley dragged out nodding towards Hayden. "What if we play at your wedding? We're cheap, and good! You know that and we'll play all the songs you like." She shrugged and Hayden nodded as well.
"That's true Will! It'll be like your wedding present!" He said popping another hot meatball in his mouth. Willow rolled her eyes getting from the table and pushing him away from the stove.
"You know I have to feed other people too!" She said smacking him in the arm. "And, I don't know... I mean... It's only a couple months away now, will you guys be ready by then?"
"Yeah! We should be no problem!" Hayden said with a smile.
"Yeah we already know most of the songs you like and we can add a few new ones. I miss my drums, you know that." Riley said with a pout face as Willow shook her head with a laugh. "And, Mikey's never seen me play. That'll be a nice chance!" She said getting more and more excited now.
"I don't see the problem." Izzy shrugged. "The reception will be over, Hayden and Ty's part of the wedding will be done with. It'll keep them from getting wasted and making a fool of themselves."
"True that." Felicia said, going back to her texting and not looking up from her phone. "Raph said they're on their way." She smiled putting the phone down on the table as Riley quickly snatched it up.
"Let's see what we were telling old Raphie-boy..." She smirked licking her lips as she clicked on the screen.
"Good luck." Willow laughed. "Donnie helped her put a program in so that it only opens up to her finger print." Felicia smiled as Riley put the phone back where it was.
"Oh man, that's so cool! I want that!" Hayden said picking up Felicia's phone again and swiping his thumb across it again and again.
"Ok, seriously." Felicia sighed grabbing the phone from her idiot second brother. "You're gonna break it."
"So, the band then?" Izzy sighed to Willow who was back stirring the sauce. Willow smiled at her red headed friend. She could tell she was getting annoyed that it took them this long to all decide on something.
"Yeah, that all sounds kinda perfect actually."
"What about for all those chick songs Will likes?" Hayden asked. "I mean I can sing pretty high pitched but, Flyleaf and Paramore... I don't know." He grimaced with a click of his tongue.
"Betty!" Riley exclaimed with a snap of her fingers looking over at Izzy. "She's an amazing singer! I just saw her with her band the other night down town."
"I can call and ask her." Izzy shrugged as Willow's smile widened.
"That sounds even better." She sighed, mentally ticking off another thing on her wedding list.
"Ok, so that's done." April smiled. "But, who's Betty?" She asked looking over at Izzy as her other red-headed friend smiled.
"My little sister." She said. "She's been studying at NYU for a couple months now in Communications. She wants to produce, but she's an amazing singing. Her band does mostly metal and her appearance is a little... unnerving at first but, once you get to know her she's a sweetheart." Izzy smiled, proud of her little sister.
"She really is." Willow smiled. "I can't believe she hasn't called and asked to hang out yet!" She growled with a shake of her head. "I'm gonna have to beat that girl."
"Good luck with that." Riley laughed. "She would so kick your ass!"
"That's true." Willow chuckled thinking of the little spitfire that was Elizabeth O'Hare.
Everyone's heads snapped up to the sound of a knock at Willow's large bay window. Casey got up from the couch where he had been watching news on his favorite hockey team to open it for the guys.
"Holy shit, it's cold out here." Raph said shaking the water from his head as Casey sighed and pushed his friends green shoulder.
"Dude, seriously. I just dried off."
"You're welcome." Raph smirked as he noticed Felicia in the kitchen, standing from her chair and nervously spinning her cellphone in her hand. His face heated a bit to the reminder of the texts they had been sharing all afternoon and evening. He walked over to her and smiled as she squirmed nervously under his gaze. He loved that fact that he made her feel uncomfortable. In a good way.
"Hey." He said softly, as she reached up and brushed some dampness from his shoulder.
"Hi." She smiled, pulling his damp bandanna over his shoulder sliding her middle and ring finger down, ringing out the dampness from the ratty fabric.
Riley cleared her throat from her seat at the kitchen table, looking up at the new couple. Felicia jumped a bit, forgetting there were others around her and the sound of the apartment slowly came back into her ears. All the guys were talking and Leo gave Raph a towel that Willow had been handing out.
"Hey Raph!" Riley said with a laugh as she got up from her chair going over to Mikey. "Hey dimples." She smiled taking the towel from him and rubbing it against his wet head. He laughed, snatching it back from her. He pulled her body to his damp went plastron giving her a strong hug.
"Hey Ryster!" He chuckled as she squirmed from his cold, wet grasp.
"So, anyways!" Izzy called out over the commotion trying to discuss what the girls had been going over early to Donnie. "Willow decided on Hayden and Tyler for a band. Riley will play drums and my little sister will sing vocals." She smiled.
"I didn't know you had a little sister." Donnie said curiously as Izzy nodded.
"Yeah, she moved here a couple months ago to study at NYU. We should all go see her play some night. I can bring Zachary." She smiled again getting up from the table and grabbing her phone.
"Oh, yeah." Willow said rolling her eyes. "How's that going with Doctor Zachary?" She laughed saying his full name slowly as Izzy scowled at her friend.
"It's going great actually. He's very sweet and he said he'd be my plus one at the wedding." She said looking down at her phone as she texted.
Willow looked over at Donnie who was smiling at Felicia and Raph, their heads close in a conversation. She was worried about him. She knew Izzy and him had gotten close over these past couple months and Willow didn't want to see him get hurt.
"He's fine." Mikey said grabbing a soda from the fridge next to Willow as she went back to her cooking.
"What?"
"Donnie, he's fine." Nodding his head towards his brainy brother. "He's known about Zac for awhile. Izzy never shuts up about him, apparently. They talk," he shrugged. "...He's aware that that isn't going to happen. He actually told me he wasn't really that interested in her. She's 'not his type' as he put it." Mikey smirked using air quotations as Willow smiled looking back at Don. He met her eyes smiling back and standing up from the ottoman he was perched on.
"Smells good Will." He said patting her shoulder. She took him by surprise wrapping her arms around his middle in a tight hug. "Uh, what was that for?" He asked, looking up at Mikey as he shrugged and went back to the living room.
"Nothing... I just... I thought you deserved a hug." She shrugged going back to her boiling water as she dumped a box of spaghetti in.
"We were all suppose to meet here at ten weren't we?" Felicia asked Willow as she bounced from foot to foot, wrapping her thin jean jacket around her body.
"Well... That's what Izzy said. Traffic maybe? Maybe the subway is running slow today?" Willow wondered, rubbing her hands together before placing them back into the pockets of her hooded sweatshirt.
"Oh there!" Felicia said, jumping up and down with her arms in the air. "What took you guys so long?" She sighed, opening the doors for Izzy and April to go inside as Willow followed. They all took a moment to de-thaw from the cold city air before Riley ran into the boutique, her hood over her head and face flushed with red.
"Holy Moses it's cold out there! Did we even have a Fall or did we just skip straight to Winter? Friggin' east coast." She said blowing hot breath into her hands.
"What happened?" Willow asked as they all started for the main desk. She looked at the clock above the receptionists desk, ten thirty. "Will they even see us now or did we miss the appointment?" She hated being late and she knew Izzy was going to make this appointment early, and at a time that Izzy would hold everyone up because of some plans that happened the night before and she didn't wake up from in time.
"Zachary and I went to a Jazz club last night, and..." Izzy started, her freckled face blushing as Willow sighed heavily and rolled her eyes.
"It's fine." April said with a smile. "It doesn't seem like it's busy, we should still be able to go in, no problem." She went to the desk and the girl greeted them with a smile. She was wearing a black button up shirt and pair of black dress pants with black shoes. "Hi, we made an appointment for bridesmaids dresses this morning and we seem to be a little late I was just wondering..."
"Oh no, you're fine." The girl smiled as she took out a large black planner. "Willow right?" She asked looking up at April. She moved aside, pushing Willow forward who smiled meekly.
"That's me."
"Oh, hello honey! Congratulations on the wedding. I'll take you to the back and get you guys settled. Georgia will be with you guys in just a moment." She came out from behind the desk and started down an all silver hallway that was covered in sparkles. Riley rubbed her hand against the wall with a grimace before wiping the sparkles off her hand on the back of Felicia's jacket.
"Knock it off!" She hissed as Riley giggled and showed off her palm.
"Looket this crap! It's like Tinkerbell threw up in here." They both started to giggle as Izzy turned her head to them giving them a glare.
"I will separate you two if I need to!" She hissed as they both quieted down.
"Right this way." The receptionist smiled, lifting her arm in welcome to a room that opened up in a large circle. A plush, pink couch was in the center with a square rising in front of it. Dresses of all colors and different varieties hung along the curtained wall all along the edge of the room.
"Well, if I can't find something I like in here I'm fucked." Willow whispered over at Izzy as she nodded in awe looking at all the dresses.
A chubby older woman came from behind on of the many purple and silver curtains with a tray of mimosas. Willow and Riley smiled at the offering and took one along with the other girls. The older woman was wearing the same color scheme as her younger counter part. She wore a black turtleneck sweater, black wide leg slacks and pair of black paten leather mary-janes with about a four inch heal. Still, standing next to Izzy the woman was the height of her shoulders.
"Hello girls, I'm Georgia! I'll be helping you decided on beautiful dresses today! So, where's my bride?" She asked looking amongst all the girls as Willow raised her hand slowly. "Oh good! Hello dear, Willow right?"
"Yeah."
"What's the soon to be husband's name?" Willow felt her heart skip at the word husband. Leo was going to be her husband.
"Leo." she smiled as all the girls took a seat on the large couch.
"Good, good. So, what are we looking for today? Throw out some ideas!" Willow liked this woman she was perky and adorable and she knew this was the right place to get her girls all dresses.
"Well, we want pink." Izzy said, flipping through the binder on her lap. She opened up the bridesmaid page and pointed to a short , dark pink, satin dress.
"Oh, that's lovely. We have that here I believe." Georgia said, looking at the large rack in front of her.
"Sorry! Sorry!" A young, ebony haired girl breathed in a rush as she entered the large room. "I'm here! My class ran late, as usual. Friggin' long winded asshat wouldn't shut up about Molecules or some shit." She sighed, placing her jacket down with the other girl's and sat next to Riley. Izzy glared at her little sister to the language she used. Georgia smiled kindly at the young girl and handed her the last mimosa.
"She can drink?" She asked looking to Izzy who nodded.
"Yes, unfortunately." Izzy said looking over at her younger sibling. She was wearing the same type of outfit that Izzy despised her wearing. A pair of dark jean shorts, that seemed to be man-made cut offs, with a studded belt and black fishnet stockings. Thankfully from her knee down she was covered by thick black knee high socks that had little pink cats on them for warmth and a pair of black combat boots on her feet. Her arms were covered as well with a black hoodie that she cut holes into so her thumbs could fit into them. Her face surprisingly wasn't covered in the usual pound of black mascara and eye-liner that Izzy was used to seeing. If anything she was wearing mascara, a light brown that made her green eyes pop from her pale skin and a bit of pink lip gloss. Izzy smiled at her beautiful little sister. She was growing up... She looked down at her outfit and shook her head well...for the most part.
"So," Georgia smiled. "Should I get those dresses? Maybe another one the same color but a bit of a different style? It seems we have all types here so maybe it would look good on some but, not on others. And all the dresses can be made into any color you like." The older woman shrugged as Willow agreed happily.
"That's actually a great idea!" Willow said, looking down her line of friends as they all nodded.
"I'm mostly worried about red hair and pink." April grimaced as Izzy chuckled.
"Tell me about it." She sighed as the girls got up and followed Georgia to the changing rooms. Betty stayed behind with Willow and sat closer to her on the couch.
"So, has Bella been driving you nuts?" She laughed as Willow nodded her head with a groan.
"God Bless that crazy bitch, but yes! I love her to death but, it's as if she became bridesmaidzilla. I had to rein her in more than anyone had to me."
"She loves weddings." Betty shrugged. "I'm surprised she didn't study this in school instead of animals. She would have been done and hellva lot quicker that's for sure."
"How's school going, speaking of." Will said turned towards her younger friend.
"Oh, good. A lot of my classes suck, but it's life right? I can't wait to graduate and be done with it." She sighed leaning back against the plush couch.
Riley came out first with a look on her face like she smelt something horrible.
"I look like a fuckin' my little pony doll threw up all over me." She said tugging at the pink flower sash that was around her waist. Willow and Betty laughed out as Felicia came in next in a different dress. It was blue, but they had told them any dress could be changed to the color they wanted. It was knee length with a sweetheart neckline and a black lace sash around the middle. "I like hers." Riley whined as Willow nodded.
"Yeah Fee, you look amazing in that." Willow said, getting from the couch and stepping up on the risers her friends stood on. She noticed the lace bow in the back and gasped. "Oh my god! That's adorable! This is a contender ladies!" She called out to Izzy and April who were next to come out.
April had a black dress on with a bright pink sash around the middle. It was the same length as Riley's and had a crumb catcher neckline with taffeta under the skirt to make it poof out at the waist. Izzy came out in a long, A-line purple dress. It had ruching down the length of it starting at the braided belt under Izzy's bust. All the girls looked over one another and then back to Willow for approval.
"They're all beautiful." Willow nodded to Georgia who smiled with her arms crossed and a pin cushion around her wrist.
"No time to be polite dear, which one do you like, not like?" She asked as Willow chuckled.
"Uh, well... I love Felicia's" She said pointing to her short haired friend. The girls all agreed as they appraised Felicia's dress. Felicia could feel her cheeks heat up to all the attention. "Izzy's is nice, but I don't like long. I don't think it's right for my wedding. It's more causal than black tie." She shrugged and Georgia nodded, looking back to the rack for more shorter dresses.
"Alright and the one you picked from your binder?" She said placing her hand on Riley's shoulder.
"No, not liking that one at all." Willow said with a grimace as Riley nodded. Izzy agreed too.
"It definitely looked nicer in the picture." She said as Riley glared at her.
"So, I'm not as pretty as that model?" She said crossing her arms.
"No, obviously not, or you'd be a model! What I meant, miss sensitive is that it doesn't look the same in person. Better?" Izzy laughed as Riley smirked.
"Whatever, I feel like a daffodil. I have to get this thing off of me." She said stepping from the platform and going back to the dressing rooms. The other girls followed and Georgia took Felicia's dress and hung it up on a clothing rack that was empty.
"And you can get that in the pink I want?" Willow asked kindly as Georgia nodded. The older woman grabbed a large binder from the plush carpeted floor and handed it to Willow. It was filled with all different types fabrics and colors.
"All of these dresses can be made into whatever fabric you pick, with some exceptions of course. If the fabric will pucker in a stitch you may not want to do too much to it." Willow nodded as she went through the book, flipping through to the pink selections. She kept going back to April's colors and Felicia's dress.
"Do you have something similar to what Felicia's was wearing but, in April's colors? Black with pink?" Georgia nodded with a smile and let Riley come out first.
"I didn't want her to feel like a daffodil anymore." Georgia smiled as Riley blushed a little. "So, was this something you had in mind?" She asked as Riley stepped up in a black dress to just above the knee. It had a dark pink sash around the middle in a sweetheart neckline."
"Yes, black. I am loving the black." Willow said, sitting on the edge of the couch as Betty smiled with a nod.
"You look smokin' hot Rye. No lie." Betty said with a wink as Riley laughed and posed with her hands on her knees and her backside facing the girls on the couch. Everyone, including Georgia laughed out as Izzy and April came out in their regular clothing. Felicia came out in another short dress with a skirt that bunched and puffed out at the knees.
"Ew, I'm sorry Fee, but that reminds me of what the girls wore to my high school prom. That's a neg." Betty said looking over at Willow who made a face in disgust.
"Yeah, go take that off." Willow laughed as Felicia sighed.
"Oh, thank god." She went to go get off the stand before seeing a flash of light and looked back at Riley who hand her cellphone in her hand.
"Raph is gonna love this!" She smirked as Felicia's mouth dropped open.
"No! You cannot show him this! It's horrible on me!" She whined as Riley threw her phone over to Betty who caught it and sat on it. Felicia stopped in front of Betty putting her hands on her hips.
"Please give me the phone." Felicia said nicely with her hand out. Betty shook her head.
"Sorry, no. Who's Raph?"She chuckled as Felicia went at her trying to get the phone that was wedged in between the cushions and Betty's butt.
"Raph is Leo's brother." Willow smiled, going through her phone and showing Betty a picture of Raphael in his human form. Betty leaned over to Willow, still trying to stop Felicia's wild hands that were trying to grab the phone. Felicia finally sighed and sat back, her arms crossed and bare foot tapping.
"Wowza!" Betty said, pushing Felicia away and grabbing Willow's phone. "This is yours?" She asked looking up at Felicia.
"Kinda, we just started dating. We don't really have a title yet." She shrugged, calming down from the picture incident and looking over Betty's shoulder to see Raph's smiling face. His arm was wrapped around Mikey's blonde head and Donnie had his head back in a laugh as they all stood in front of Willow's parent's patio on the day of their pre-wedding party.
"Who's the other two?" Betty asked giving Willow back her phone. Willow leaned over to Betty and pointed them out.
"Mikey is always spoken for." Riley said as she came back out in her normal clothes.
"What about the other one there, Donnie?" Betty asked as Willow's face looked up at her young friend with a growing smile. She could tell Betty liked him, I mean who wouldn't? They were all gorgeous. But, she noticed Donnie a lot more than any other brother in that picture.
"Donnie is single." Willow smiled sharing a look with Felicia as she walked back into the dressing room. "You'll have to meet them sometimes."
"Yeah, when's your next gig? We were thinking of all going to see you play?" Riley asked as she took the edge of the couch.
"I'm sorry to interrupt girls..." Georgia smiled softly as Willow looked up.
"Oh no, I'm sorry! We kinda went off track a little." She laughed nervously as Georgia waved her off.
"No, no it's healthy for beautiful girls to be wrapped up in some beautiful boys. I am just wondering if you figured out the dress you would like to see them in?"
Willow looked over at Izzy and she smiled taking a seat between Willow and her sister. "So, which one?"
"We're not gonna do all pink does that ruin everything?" Willow asked as Izzy rolled her eyes.
"No, not at all. Your colors are pink and black having a black and pink dress will look just as amazing." Izzy shrugged as April nodded. "And, we can do the tables with a black lace over lay!"
"Oh... I like that." Willow said looking at the picture Izzy turned too in her binder of a table setting with a black lace table covering over a silky dark pink. "That's so goth and chic I love it!" Willow sighed, looking over towards Izzy and putting her head on her shoulder. "Oh my god, does that mean we did two things at once today? That's never happened!" Willow laughed as April and Izzy joined in.
"It's a miracle!" April said as her and Izzy clinked glasses. "I think we have the dresses." She smiled up at Georgia who was already writing up an order slip.
"Wonderful. Just to be sure..." She said carefully, sitting next to Willow on the couch and showing her an order form on a clipboard. "It's Felicia's dress, right? Black satin with a magenta laced sash?"
"Yes, that's perfect." Willow smiled clapping her hands together.
"Sweetheart neckline?" Georgia asked looking up from her glasses as Willow nodded again. "Perfect." She smiled, slipping her glasses from her face as they hung around her neck from a gold and diamond chain. "Just sign here and we will let you know when they'll be in. I have your measurements on here." She said flipping to another paper that she wrote down all the girl's sizes. "We'll need to do some alterations but, we can do that here that day so, they'll be ready within forty eight hours. You have about six months before the wedding?" She asked as Willow nodded slowly. "Perfect usually takes three to four for the dresses to come in. But, with this being one of our more busy seasons we can sometimes get dresses in, in a matter of weeks. Either way, we'll contact you. Just leave your number here." She pointed to a spot for Willow to leave her phone number and email. "Thank you ladies for coming in today it was a pleasure." She smiled as she saw all the girls out to the reception desk.
"Thank you Georgia you were wonderful." Willow smiled, giving the older woman a hug. She hugged back and chuckled before waving good-bye and saying hello to her new clients.
"That was fun!" Willow said as all the girls left the dress shop.
"It was." Felicia smiled as she wrapped her arm around her long time friend. "So, about the gig?" She said looking at Betty who dug into her purse and pulled out a Zippo lighter with the deathstar on it and lit a cigarette.
"I wish you would stop that nasty shit." Izzy sighed as she waved her hand in front of her face.
"Keeps me away from heroin." Betty smirked with the cigarette between her lips, tugging the hood of her sweatshirt over her head. Her sister shook her head to the stupid joke.
"Nice, real nice asshole."
"Anyways..." Riley sighed pushing Izzy aside. "When's your next gig. We wanna take the guys to come see you and we can discuss the set for the wedding." Betty nodded taking a drag.
"Sounds good. I can't wait to meet these guys they all seem way to hot to be real." She laughed shaking her head. "I think we have a gig this Friday. That bar you went to last week Rye, same place. They pay us pretty good there and beers are free so, that's a plus. I'll tell the guys. You might need to do a couple songs on the skins with me." She said pointing her finger at Riley as she nodded.
"Be my pleasure!"
"Felicia you'll love Colin he's such a tech geek, it's ridiculous. He'll be talking your ear off all night." Betty laughed as Felicia felt her face heat up.
"She's with Raph though..." Willow said, feeling her friends concern as Betty puffed out some smoke with a laugh.
"Oh God, no. Colin is as gay as they come! Are you kiddin' me? Raph won't need to worry about you, you might need to worry about Raph!" Betty chuckled as Felicia sighed in relief.
"That'll be good then." Felicia smiled as they girls started to walk down the street to the subway station.
"Yeah, Raph might get jealous." Izzy said nudging Felicia's shoulder with hers as Felicia's face went hot again.
"Raph? Get jealous? Whaaat..." Riley said in sarcastic, disbelief as all the girls laughed climbing down to the subway.
