A/N: Happy Birthday Nina!
"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Alice asked with a huff, blowing her bangs out of her eyes.
"Because it'll be fun," I shrugged mixing the rice and vinegar together and ignoring the eye rolls that Alice and Rosalie were giving me.
"How's making our own sushi fun? We could've ordered from Sushiya and drinking cosmo's already," Rose scoffed rummaging through my kitchen cabinets.
"Listen Bitches'… it's my fucking birthday and I want to make sushi. So shut the fuck up and help me already," I growled opening the package of nori.
I loved my friends, I really did, but those whores were getting on my last nerve. First they wanted to throw a big ass party for my 33rd birthday, which I had quickly vetoed. Then they wanted to have a nice dinner out with us and our husbands. We did that shit all the time, so I nixed that idea as well. The obligatory birthday gathering at Carlisle and Esme's with us, the men folk and all the kids was happening tomorrow, but tonight it was just me and my girls.
'Girls Night In' is what I suggested and Alice and Rose agreed. I just didn't specify what we would be doing on 'Girls Night'. Those whores should have known by now that I was a tricky bitch like that. Oh well, live and not learn I guess. I needed a night with my besties; this was just what the doctor ordered.
"Fine what do you want us to do?" Rose sighed leaning against the counter and bumping my shoulder with hers.
"Well everything's all cut up and ready, we just have to assemble. Can you grab the fish and veggies out of the fridge?" I asked laying out the bamboo mats and smirking, knowing they were about to discover my special surprise.
I spread the rice on the nori knowing that Rose wouldn't want to touch the sticky rice and Alice was so anti-domestic that she could burn ice-water. All they would have to do is add what they wanted and roll it up. Simple, right? I was beginning to have second thoughts on this whole 'let's make our own sushi' thing.
"Oh My God! You didn't?" Alice exclaimed after opening the fridge.
"I did as a matter of fact," I smiled, turning to face her across that kitchen.
"What? What she do?" Rose asked pushing Alice out the way, causing her to fall on her ass and the sushi ingredients she was holding to spill all over her and the floor.
"What the mother fuck Rose?" Alice yelled, a piece of Hamachi sliding down her cheek and carrots in her cleavage.
I couldn't help it and started to laugh. Laughing so hard that I slid down the cabinet I was leaning on to the floor. Crawling over to Alice as Rose leaned against the refrigerator door because she was laughing so hard.
"I guess we're not making sushi anymore," I said still laughing and picking fish and vegetables off of Alice as she sat there glaring daggers at Rose, who had had slid to floor was well and was crawling over to us.
"I guess not," Alice huffed, pealing a piece of Toro off her neck.
"Are you okay Ali?" Rose asked, scooping up a pile of pickled ginger.
"I'm fine," Alice said standing up, wiping her clothes down. "What're we going to do for dinner though? I'm hungry."
"Well, before you were so rudely thrown to the ground," I said staring a Rose, who merely shrugged and continued to pick up. Bitch. "You saw the jell-o shots; why don't we grab those, pop some popcorn and watch The Goonies. It'll be just like middle school…but with alcohol."
"Bells, that's an awesome idea. We need to break out the scrunchies and acid wash jeans too," Alice laughed, her previous annoyance gone.
"I hafta agree, let's go all out and act like our teenage selves," Rose said grabbing a bag of microwave popcorn from the cabinet.
"Pfft, how is your teenage self any different from your now self?" I snorted as I finished cleaning up the defunct sushi mess. "You did marry Emmett and he's the biggest kid ever."
"True," Rose merely shrugged watching the microwave. "Let's do this right. We need pajamas, pillows, blankets, candy, nail polish and an Ouija board."
We gathered pillows and blankets making a nest of sorts on the living room floor. Changed into pajamas; Rose's tit's falling out of the tank top and Alice swimming in the t-shirt I loaned them. I raided the Halloween candy I had hidden from Edward and the kids, creating a buffet of sugary goodness, along with the strawberry and vodka jell-o shots and popcorn.
We watched the movie debating on whether 'Brand' was hotter now or then, it was decided that we all would do him regardless of his age. Lamented the downfall of 'Mikey' as he had become a hobbit and was the voice of my arch-nemesis 'Special Agent Oso', which was my daughter's favorite show and made me want to gouge my eyes and ears every time it was on. Wondered whatever happened to the chick that played 'Andy' and if she really deserved 'Brand'. Danced the 'truffle shuffle' anytime 'Chunk' appeared on the screen.
Mani's and pedi's were given; my toes were a god awful blue color by the end of the night. We prank called the guys. Who were over at Emmett and Rose's supposedly watching our collective seven children. It seemed like they had turned on a Disney movie and were letting the kids eat a ton junk food as the guys watched sports on the big screen. Oh well, they would have to deal with the hyper kids, not me.
The Ouija was busted out, stupid question were asked; 'Who am I going to marry?' and 'Does my crush like me?' etc…
The jell-o shots were consumed before 'Brand' grabbed the little girls' bike and we proceeded to make god awful concoctions with the available alcohol in the house. We moved on to the whole John Hughes collection, ending the night with Pretty in Pink; throwing popcorn at the TV when 'Andie' picked 'Blaine' over 'Duckie' at the end.
The night ended with us laying over and on top each other in the pile of pillows and blankets, drunk off our asses. It really was like middle school, except that whole intoxicated part.
"I love you guys," I said squeezing Rose's ankle that was over my stomach and nudging Alice's butt with my foot. "This was the best birthday ever. We need to do this again. Well, without that whole sushi in Alice's boobs thing," I giggled.
"Love ya too B," Alice said crawling over to lay on me.
"Ditto," Rose said pushing Alice off of me so she could lie on top of me.
It was nice, just to hang with my girls and act like a teenager again. They had been there before boyfriends turned husbands, kids, college, houses in the suburbs and everything really. I don't think they realized how much they meant to me, how big a part of my life they were, and how much I appreciated them. But I know the feeling was mutual.
We fell asleep hugging each other and that was how the husbands found us the next morning. They made jokes about missing the lesbian orgy. We merely rolled our eyes as best we could with our massive hangovers.
They simply didn't get it; sometimes you need a little girl time.
It truly had been the best birthday ever.
