"I say why don't you do a joint one." Ruby suggested. "Start off in the surf club together and then we women will get a limo or something and go to the Sands and leave you men doing whatever."
"No offence but Bible Boy isn't the most wild of people." Aden grinned at Geoff as he said it.
Geoff had his arm around Nicole and pressed a quick kiss on her lips before she could comment. He didn't want his secrets revealed around Colleen!
She laughed.
"I like the idea of a joint do. It will let everybody join in. And if we girls go off and do our own thing and leave you to it." Nic nodded.
"By own thing I presume you mean go to a strip club?" Annie asked loud enough for Colleen to hear. "I still owe that money to the casino."
Ruby rolled her eyes and then grinned.
"I was thinking that we could all get matching tattoos as well." Ruby joined in.
"I'm sorry but I have to draw the line at a tattoo. I don't like the two I have now." Geoff winked at Aden. "And the big one still looks like it says Aden instead of Amen."
Aden sipped his coffee slowly before replying with. "Well at least we managed to get out of that Gay bar still wearing clothes."
Nic stifled the giggles as she added.
"I still don't know how you managed to convince me to get up on stage and pretend I was a bloke pretending to be a woman and singing 'stand by your man'."
Annie looked over at Aden.
"I'm sorry that we got you drunk last night. I hope the botched surgery this morning won't go on your record." She said to him.
"I'm sure it will be fine. I'll just amend the paperwork so it reads he wanted to become a woman." Aden replied to Annie raising one and a half eyebrows at her.
Colleen dropped the plates she was carrying on the floor at the last comment and the five off them burst out laughing.
"What has got into us?" Nic asked with a grin. "We so did not used to be this bad."
Geoff groaned.
"I think we are happy." He said. "and hung over."
Ruby looked at them and picked up another French fry off Aden's plate.
"Ruby why didn't you order your own food." He asked her.
"Because I kept making bets with Annie last night and I'm now broke." She told him. "Besides I think if I actually had my own food in front of me I might not be feeling so good!"
Nic laughed at her.
"Vodka shots are not a good idea!" she commented wisely after the fact.
"It wouldn't have been so bad if in fact you used shot glasses and not tumblers!" Aden told her.
Belle chose that moment to walk into the diner. She walked over to their table and smiled at her husband. Then full out laughed as she noticed the missing section of eyebrow.
"Have you finished using my husband as a sex slave?" she asked Nic.
They all turned round as they heard a crash from behind them.
"I think Colleen is having a bad day!" Geoff said and they burst out laughing again. He placed a kiss on Nic's mouth before getting up and going over to help Colleen clean up the dropped tray of food.
Nic moved over and let Belle sit next to her.
"We had such fun last night that we are talking about the respective Stag and Hen do's." she told Belle.
"In here?" Belle asked nodding at Colleen.
"Yeah." Annie said. "We did kind of embellish a few details of last night. " she said.
Belle laughed.
"That explains it." she said. "So what have you come up with?"
"Holding a joint one to start off with and then moving to separate parties." Nic told her.
"Sounds like a good idea. That way everyone can join in and those who don't want the wild night can still celebrate with you." Belle said softly.
"That's sorted then. I'll contact Alf to sort out dates. I think we'll go the week before the wedding so that we can recover!" she grinned at Annie and Ruby.
"What else needs sorting?" Annie asked her.
"Your dresses, my dad's and Aden's suits, caterers and a photographer." Nic mentally went through the list. "Clothes for Brett and Amy-Belle.." she said.
"Well when I drag Aden to get fitter for the suit you come along and we pick out something for the kids?" Belle asked Nic.
Nic grinned.
"Ok so I am only getting married to experience multiple…" she began and blushed as Aden raised his half eyebrow at her. "I was going to say shopping trips." She glared at him.
They laughed at her.
Ruby stood up and stretched.
"I'm going to go see Charlie and collect my stuff. Are you sure it's…"
Nic laughed at her.
"Yes its cool. I'll see you later. Don't fall asleep on the way to Charlie's!" she warned her.
"I'm going to go too." Annie said. "I need some sleep." She grinned.
Annie lent over and hugged Nic.
"See you later Sis." She told her.
She and Ruby walked out together.
Belle stood and went and sat next to her husband.
She lifted her hand and stroked his eyebrow with the missing section.
"I presume there is a reason for this?" she asked him.
Nicole coughed and looked into her cup and took a long drink.
Aden smirked.
"If I could remember I'd tell you." He told Belle and heard Nicole sigh with relief.
Belle looked over at Nic and smiled.
"So nothing to do with that drunken message from Nicole about snogging you then?" she asked them.
Nicole choked on her coffee.
"See I told you not to let me near a phone drunk!" she told him.
Belle laughed at them before leaning over and kissing her husband.
