Chapter 23
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you don't like what your reading, then don't read it. I don't have to explain anything. ITS FANFICTION and nothing more. I'm sorry for coming across as a *****itch but mean and bs reviews make me pissed. Your intilted to your own opinion. If anyone who is reading this, is actually enjoying this story, PLEASE LET ME KNOW before I decide to pull it. I'm just tired of having to answer to BS and stupidity. ~ dramababeeo
By now, the rest of them joined everyone else. Dickie took the left side of Olivia and Elliot took the right. Fin and Much across from them, with Maureen, Kathleen and Lizzie. Bernie sat on the opposite of her grandson.
Dickie pulled out the camera he had taken with him and immediately starting showing Olivia the pictures he had managed to capture on the camera.
"See. What did I tell you? I told you he had a camera on him. But you didn't believe me. It's your own fault." Laughed Olivia.
"I bet you told him to." Said Elliot.
"I didn't tell him squat, thank you. The camera was your son's idea." Said Olivia.
"It WAS my idea, dad." Cracked Dickie.
"Gee, John. I thought you would have a conspiracy theory behind tuxes? You sure you haven't worn one before? You've been married four times. If you didn't wear a tux, what did you wear?" asked Olivia.
Good point.
"I wore a tux thank you very much. What did you guys expect me to wear? All black?" said John.
"Hell yes. No wonder your pale scrawny ass looks wrong in a tux." Laughed Fin.
"Look whose talking. Your stuck wearing one just as much as I am." Replied John.
"Is this all you did this afternoon? No wonder you got nothing done in the first place." Laughed Olivia.
"We got what we needed done thank you." Said Elliot.
"I'll believe it when I see it." Smiled Olivia.
"What about you guys?" asked John.
"Tell me it's not anything any shade of blue." Joked Fin.
"The girls found their dresses after all the fighting and arguing they did." Said Olivia.
"We didn't fight and argue that much." Objected Kathleen.
"This coming from the same person who could only pick out dresses that were purple or lavender." Joked Lizzie.
"This coming from the same person who swore she would never be caught in any color other than black, neutral or grey." Laughed Maureen.
"When did I ever say that?" objected Kathleen.
"Two weeks ago." Said Maureen.
"Yeah, well, that was two weeks ago. Things change." Corrected Kathleen.
"What about you, baby girl? Did you find something?" asked Fin.
She did find something. It was just, that she couldn't afford it. Settling once again for anything coming close to it, from her closet at home. (I know that probably makes her look cheap, and at the same time, I know that cops make decent money since my cousin is a cop).
The minute she answered that question, the flood gates would open. When you came think about it, this was the more logical choice. Did she like it? No. But she wasn't going to admit that to any of them.
"Uh, no. I didn't have the same luck as the girls." Said Olivia.
Maureen, Kathleen and Lizzie did a double take. Why wouldn't she tell them that she HAD found something? Sometimes, being too modest wasn't always the route to go.
Lizzie knew she probably should have said anything.
"But what about…." Started Lizzie. Kathleen gently elbowed her younger sister, trying to give her the hint to stop while she was ahead. Too late?
"Baby girl, if you found something then why not get it? It's not like you don't deserve it." Said Fin.
"I know that, Fin. But like I told the girls when they said the same thing. I can't afford something like. Not unless I want to spend three months of pay on something I'm only going to wear once." Said Olivia.
Bernie excused herself to go to her car to get the dress. Maureen knew where her grandmother was going and what she was going for.
"Where's grandma going?" asked Lizzie.
"She went to get something from her car. She'll be back." Said Maureen.
"So what did it look like, Liv? Big, puffy and white?" asked John.
