SPOV
It was around noon by the time that I woke up the next afternoon, and almost as soon as I did, I stretched my arms up above my head as I opened up my eyes a little wider.
And then the giddiness set in.
I was going to officially become Mrs. Northman tonight.
And I couldn't fucking wait to marry the man of my dreams.
I was just in the process of sliding my legs out of the bed – an extremely comfortable bed, but not as good as Eric's bed. Mainly due to the fact that it didn't have him in it, when Lafayette also woke up from his deep sleep.
"Oh God … what time is it?" he groaned, throwing his arm over his eyes, so that the sunlight – which was streaming in through the window.
"It is just after noon" I said, casting another glance at the clock which Tara had placed onto the table beside the bed.
"Jesus Christ … it doesn't matter, because it is just far too flaming early!" he groaned, as he turned his body to the side and slid out of the sleeping bag that he had been in.
"Are you hungover, lala?" I asked, smirking at him. Good. He fucking deserved it for trying to get me drunk last night.
"No" he lied, but then clutched at his head as if he was in pain.
"Are you sure?" I asked, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed, thoroughly enjoying this.
"Don't talk so fucking loud!" he all but shouted at me, and then winced.
I just laughed and then got up off of the bed in order to go and do my business – you know, go to the toilet, wash my face and brush my teeth before heading out into the kitchen to put on Tara's coffee machine, because although I wasn't quite showing it as much as Lafayette was, I was also in a great need of Coffee.
Even though I was still in my short blue Tigger nightdress – well, it was more like a t-shirt that barely covered my necessities, but I figured that since there was only Tara and Lala in the house, that it wouldn't really make too much difference anyways.
"Coffee … you are a fucking saint, Sookie Stackhouse … you really are" Tara said, as she too walked into the kitchen, and she smelled that the coffee machine was indeed switched on. And almost finished.
"Soon to be Northman" I smirked at her – enjoying the feeling of being able to say that, even if it was only for one day, as I turned around in order to pull three cups out of the cupboard.
"Soon to be Mrs. Northman" Tara replied.
"How is the hangover this morning, T?" I asked, handing her a fresh cup of steaming coffee.
"Not as bad as the hangover that I am sure Lala is sporting this morning" Tara grinned, just as her cousin walked in through the door.
"Thank fuck that you got's some fresh juju for me" he said, as he hobbled over to grab the cup off of me.
"Good morning to you too, Lala" Tara said, grinning just at Lafayette, who just simply ignored her and went straight for the pain killers that Tara kept in the cupboard just above the fridge in the kitchen.
He downed two of them and then came to sit down between the both of us at the table.
"So what is the plan for today, hookahs?" he asked, after an especially big slurp of his coffee.
"Well, we have got an appointment for to get our nails done in just over an hour. And then after that we are going to be going for facials. And then to get our hair done. And then to get our make up done. After that then we have to come back here to put on our dresses." Tara replied.
"But I thought that we were going to get read here?" I asked.
"We are. The people are coming here in order to help to get all of us ready" Tara replied.
"And what about Gran?" I asked.
"Gran should be coming here any time soon. She is coming with us to go and get our nails and everything done" Tara said.
"Gran is coming too?" I asked, surprised. Hmm … how come I hadn't known that before? I thought to myself.
"Yeah. Didn't I tell you before that Gran was coming with us as well?" Tara asked.
"No. You just said that we were going to get all primed and ready. You didn't mention that Gran was coming with us" I answered, taking another drink of my own coffee.
"Is that a problem, Sooks?" Lafayette asked.
"No. I am just a little surprised at that, that is all" I said. I thought that it was a great idea that Lala and Tara had thought to include Gran in our little girly day out.
But before we could say anything more to that, there was a light knock on the door. I presumed that that was Gran officially arriving.
"Come on in, Gran" Tara called out, as she got up and went over towards her front door. I had always thought that it was hilarious that both Lafayette and Tara had always called my Gran, Gran just as much as I did.
"Ah. Where is she?" Gran asked, as she came into the kitchen area, she was just dressed in some of her older work clothes, as she liked to call them. But that was alright, because I would probably just be wearing my old clothes too in order to go and get ready. There really was absolutely no point in me going to get all dressed up just to have to take all of my clothes off later on before I put my dress on.
So … what do we think? Review to let me know what your thoughts are …
