PERFECT SYMMETRY
58. Toughest bitch around
"Who's idea was it?"Leah asked June as she drove them to Rachel's house.
"Rachel's" June said shaking her head "Is this like a tradition? I would've asked, but I think Rachel isn't very fond of me, and sometimes she gets upset at what I say or ask. Kim says I should try to get into her good graces and earn brownie points, but oh well. "
Leah laughed, having surprise engagement parties with just women attending wasn't any kind of tradition, it was just Rachel being crazy and trying to relive their teenage days, where they would have sleepovers, gush about boys , paint each other's nails, and gossip. Only now it was work, and the pack, and cooking, and the school, and money. The adult and supernatural version of girl talk.
".Rachel can be a little rough around the edges, but she's not a snob" Leah assured her. Of course when they got to the party, Leah found herself doubting her own words. This was a little bit too much. A flute of champagne was instantly placedin one of her hands.
"At least you could've warned me"Leah said after greeting everyone, including her mother. She was wearing just jeans and a nice blouse, and everyone was in a cocktail dress.
"That's because I have a surprise"Rachel said excited gesturing Emily, and directing Leah towards the master bedroom.
"Well Emily bought it, but it was my idea"Rachel said when Emily came in with the bag.
"Because apparently being a vampire means becoming rich"Emily laughed and opened it to reveal a very beautiful cocktail dress. "Alice send it straight from Milan. Enjoy"Emily said raising her untouched glass of wine and leaving the two friends.
"Rachel this is ….Crazy. Oh my god. I mean it's beautiful, but you shouldn't go around making Emily spend her money."
"Like she has an use for it"Rachel snorted "Besides I thought that if we're not living in the city, we might bring some glamour into our lives"
"Hence the party. I get it"Leah said slipping out of her jeans so she could change.
"How does it feel?"Rachel asked as Leah looked at the dress on her.
"Surreal"Leah answered "I can't believe I'm really getting married."
"I can't believe we're still friends after all we've been through"Rachel added "But I'm glad we are. You have no idea what it means to me, to be part of each other's lives this way. When I came back I thought you had changed into this horrible person. Then I thought you should leave like I couldn't. But now I'm glad we're both here, that we're both staying, and that finally after so many years of wanting to be sisters. My little brother is making it happen. Remind me to get the brat something"br
"Brat?"Leah laughed "He's a man Rachel"
"In your bed maybe"Rachel said raising an eyebrow while Leah looked annoyed at how crass she was being. "But to me he's a brat."
"I love you too"said Leah, reaching out to hug a reluctant and apparently slightly tipsy Rachel "I love you, and you've always been a sister to me" Leah whispered into her ear, earning a teary laugh from Rachel.
"I always knew I was the toughest bitch out of the three "Rachel said proudly. "You are so gay now"
"Bitch please"Leah laughed "We both know Rebecca gets the honor of the toughest bitch"
"Don't you two losers have lives, than you can't help talking about me, geez.."
