Chapter 9
Phoebe's POV
Today is my bachelorette party. Nathan already had his bachelor party last weekend and was hungover for a day after. It made me laugh because usually he does not drink at all. I have no clue what is going down tonight, but I am excited.
Right now, I just woke up from a nap. In bed next to me is Ava. I laugh as usually I am used to seeing Nathan. Maisy planned this party at 6 months pregnant and I know drunk or sober she is going to enjoy it.
I sit up and see a dress hanging. Well what little of a dress there is. It is short, tight, and sparkly. There is a deep V in the dress in the front where I'm assuming is supposed to be cleavage. My 32B breast's I doubt will do it justice. Under the dress is 4 inch silver heels. Am I street walker or a bride?
I turn to look at Ava who is still dead asleep and smile. I go and shower and start on my hair. As I am curling it Ava walks in and strips down to shower. "Well good morning," I laugh as she gets into my shower.
"Nothing you haven't seen before," she says and I laugh. Very true.
I finish curling my hair and I start on my makeup. I am not allowed to go out into the main room until Ava tells me so. I have no clue what they are doing out there.
I go into my closet and slip on the outfit they gave me. It is tiny. I laugh as I turn in the mirror it does do my legs justice though. Like a lot of justice. I put on earrings and spray perfume all over myself. I go to grab my phone and see Nathan standing over the bed on his phone. When he senses me he looks up and his eyes bug out of his head.
"So?" I ask and turn. He is smiling and looking at me.
"Where is the rest of it?" he asks and I laugh. Oh buddy.
"This is it," I say and Nathan comes over.
"You look absolutely stunning. Just don't bend over or move," he says and his hands slide under the fabric.
"I will try not to," I smirk.
"Are you coming back here tonight?" Nathan asks kissing my neck.
"Not a chance, Moore," Ava says as she walks in. I jump back because she scared me.
"Damn Grey, you look good," Ava says and I laugh. She is wearing a mini black dress. Her wedding ring shining on her finger.
"You heard the woman, not a chance, Moore," I say and wink at Nathan.
"That is very unfortunate," Nathan says looking me up and down.
"So where are you guys headed?" Nathan asks as Ava is putting her shoes on.
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise for your fiance, and besides you wouldn't want to know," Ava teases. I shoot her a look. We said absolutely no strip clubs.
"What? Calm down, you two are made for each other, no fun," she says and we laugh. I grab my bag and kiss Nathan goodbye as he is heading to shower. Another rule is, he is not allowed downstairs until we leave.
"Behave please," Nathan says to me. Ava is preoccupied looking at herself in the mirror.
"I always do," I smile and he rolls his eyes.
"Seriously, call if you need me," he says and I nod.
"I will baby, don't worry about me I have Ava and Maisy and Berkeley with me," I say.
"That is exactly why I am worried," he says and I laugh.
"Okay Grey, you ready?" Ava asks. I look at Nathan and smile. I kiss him goodbye as he heads into the bathroom.
"As I will ever be," I say and laugh.
I walk down the stairs to loud music and a sash being put on me along with a glass of champagne in my hand. The whole first floor is decorated with lights and banners. There also is 4 bottles of champagne. I smile and see my whole bridal party. They all look fantastic. Maisy is in a tight dress that shows off her sweet bump.
"Grey, are you ready for your last night of freedom?" Maisy asks. I nod and laugh smiling.
"You guys this is amazing. Thank you," I say as I hug Olivia then Berk.
"Are you kidding? Of course bitch," Olivia says.
"Now get drunk, but for both of us," Maisy says and hands me another glass. I laugh and swig both down. We get a bunch of pictures. They are making me a book so I can remember this night. Since I am already feeling buzzed, I might need it.
We head out to a bar after. We have a party bus with a stripper pole in it. Of course Ava is all over it. Everyone keeps drinking on the bus because there is a full bar on it. I am drunk. And having so much fun.
Olivia and I karaoke "Bohemian Rhapsody" we are laughing are asses off as we do it. We are both such bad singers. If Freddy Mercury ever saw our performance he would roll in his grave.
We get to Ultra, the rooftop club In downtown Seattle, and walk in. We get escorted to a private table at the top bar. There is more champagne and a banner that says "Pheebs gets married" so cute. The whole place has balloons and confetti.
We keep dancing the night away and drinking. There is a karaoke bar and the last song I remember doing is My Heart Will Go On from the Titanic. I should have to personally apologize to everyone in that bar.
Isabelle and I are dancing and Berkeley is taking photos. Maisy is sitting down laughing and watching us. Ava is for sure getting more drinks. Kendra is off with some guy who said he'd buy her a shot.
This night is so much fun. We have drank more than our bodies should have. Everyone is drunk off their asses. I don't really know my right from my left at this point.
When I check the clock I see it is 3:30 am. Holy shit. The club closes in 30 minutes. "Pizza back at my place," I say to Olivia and Berkeley.
"Guys guys call the driver. We are going to get pizza," Olivia yells. I call the pizza company and make an emergency order. I order 4 pizzas.
We stumble. Well I lean on Maisy for support. Everyone finds their way to the bus. He stalked up with waters so I chug one. We drive home and everyone is laughing their asses off.
When we get to Escala we all walk in. Olivia passes out on the couch. Isabelle is on the floor. Kendra has to pee so Maisy goes with her. I get some more water and Berkeley I have no clue where she went.
When the pizza comes everyone flocks to it. We all sit in the kitchen in silence chowing down our pizza. "This has been the best night" Olivia says. I smile and nod.
"You guys threw me the best bachelorette party, thank you so much. I love you all," I say.
"Of course, our Pheebs girl," Ava says.
"Pheebs we love you. I love you. Now can I sleep here," Kendra asks and I laugh nodding.
"All of you are welcome we have the 3 extra bedrooms. They all have king beds too so just go pass out. You can shower if you need. I have extra clothes in the guest closet in the room upstairs. If you want to borrow pajamas," I say and they smile. I am sure that came out way more slurred than I thought it did.
"Okay I am headed to bed, the sun is rising," I laughed. I am definitely still very very drunk. They pass me around hugging me.
"Phoebe, do you need help up the stairs?" Maisy asks. I shake my head now but lean down and kiss her belly.
I start heading upstairs still in my heels. I slip once, but catch myself. I just start to crawl up the stairs on my hands and knees. So much easier. When I reach the top I am met with two familiar feet. I look up and see Nathan standing there with his arms crossed.
"Hi," I say and he laughs.
"You kill me," he says and I laugh. He comes and scoops me up. I kiss his neck as he takes me to the bathroom. He turns on the shower and I shake my head.
"Nooo, I want to sleep," I say and try to pull him to bed.
"Bee, I need to clean you off you are covered in sparkles, glitter, alcohol, and pizza," he says and I laugh. I stumble in my shoes and Nathan bends down taking them off. Ahh that feels good. He strips me of my dress and panties. I am standing there naked as he opens the shower door. He strips down too. I smile and he shakes his head.
"Not tonight, even though it is tempting," he says.
He sits me down in the shower in front of him because I can't stand. The water feels so nice. He washes my hair I think. And then washes my body. He also takes off my makeup, I'm pretty sure. When he is done he turns off the water and wraps me in a towel and my hair in a towel.
He brushes out my hair and then lets me go to bed I fall down onto the bed and feel Nathan situate me. I am out before he can wrap me in a blanket. He kisses my head and I fall asleep.
When I wake up in the morning, well if you can even call it waking up, I feel like a truck hit me. I sit up and instantly feel sick. I run to the toilet and throw up most of the pizza from last night.
I hear Nathan pad in behind me. "Oh baby," he says and before I can respond to him my head is in the toilet again. He is rubbing my back. I close my eyes, taking a breather then throwing up one more time. I stand up when I'm done and lean against the shower door.
Nathan passes me a glass of water and I slowly sip it. He gives me some Advil and I take those too. "I take it last night was fun?" He says and I nod laughing.
"Let's get you in bed," he says and I nod. I feel horrible. My head hurts and my stomach hurts. But I had so much fun. Nathan helps me and keeps a hand on my waist as we walk to bed.
I lay down and he gets me all settled in. He sits on the edge of the bed and brushes my hair back. "Can I get you anything?" He asks so sweetly.
"Mmmm something to make this feeling go away," I groan. He frowns and kisses my head.
"I'll go get you some water," he says and I nod thanking him. I lay on my side. The nauseous feeling comes back and hits hard. I get up running to the bathroom and throw up. This time it is just stomach bile. I have nothing left to throw up.
"Bee?" Nathan says coming back realizing I'm gone.
"In here," I groan. I feel horrible.
"Oh baby," he says. He looks in the toilet to see my vomit. Such a doctor move.
"I am going to get you some pedialyte after we get you in bed," he says and I nod.
"Take small sips of this. Don't chug it," he says and I nod opening the water bottle.
He gets a cold rag and wraps it around my neck. I feel so sick. I lay on the floor and Nathan sighs. "I hate seeing you sick," he says stroking my cheek.
"It's my fault," I say and he smirks.
"Doesn't matter whose fault it is, I hate seeing you sick," he says and I smile.
"Do you feel like you are going to be sick again?" He asks and I shake my head no. Because at the moment I don't. He nods and lifts me up in his arms. He sets me in bed and wraps the covers around me. He leaves the room and comes back with a bucket.
"Throw up in this, I don't want you to pass out trying to run to the toilet," he says and I sigh. That is so gross.
"I don't want you to have to clean that I'm fine," I say.
"Bee, don't forget my everyday job involves blood, puke, and poop," he says and I smile. It's true.
"I feel bad making you take care of me," I say.
"You aren't making me. I want to, you are going to be my wife in a week and a half. In sickness and in health," he says and I smile. I grip his hand tightly
"I love you," I say.
"I love you most, now try and get some sleep," he says and I smile. He kisses my head and turns off the lamp next to our bed.
I end up falling asleep for 3 hours. I never take naps so this was out of the ordinary. I get up and see Nathan left me pedialyte. I chug it then shower. I brush my teeth too. I throw on my comfiest clothes and take another aspirin.
When I go downstairs I see our kitchen back to normal. Nathan must have picked up. I get myself a cup of water. I can't find Nathan anywhere, so I assume he went to the gym or the store. I send him a text.
*hey babe. Feeling better woke up and showered. Where are you? Love you most. X."
I decide to call Maisy. Of course she picks up in 3 rings. "Hey babe how are you feeling?" She asks.
"Uh threw up like 5 times this morning. I took a nap and showered, and now I'm good. Nathan is out, how are you? How is the baby?" I ask.
"Baby and I were both pooped after being out so late. She was kicking and twisting this morning so I was up early," Maisy says and I smile.
"I can't believe she is going to be here in 3 months," I say. "Why don't you come over, I can't drink anymore so how about some smoothies" I say.
"Uh sounds great. I'll be over in 5. I am leaving the obgyn," I smile and tell her I'll see her soon.
I make two green smoothies to detox our systems. As promised in about 5 minutes, Maisy walks in. "Hi momma," I say and kiss her cheek. I kiss her belly too.
"Ooo she kicked. Did you feel Aunt Bee give you kisses," Maisy says sweetly and I smile at her name for me.
"Here," she says and takes my hand and puts it on her belly. I feel the baby kick and smile. I can't wait to be pregnant. Wow where did that thought come from.
"Hi baby girl," I smile and feel her belly.
We grab our smoothies and head out to sit on the patio. It's pretty out now that it is spring.
"So what are you and Nathan thinking?" Maisy asks.
"About what?" I ask.
"Babies," she says and I think about it. We've obviously talked about it.
"Well we've talked about it and we want to wait til after we get married. Like after awhile after," I say and Maisy nods.
"You guys will be the best parents," she says rubbing her belly. I want to divert the conversation.
"So does little miss have a name," I ask. Maisy gives me the smile and I know she does.
"Oh come on tell me," I say and grab her hand.
"I promised Blake I wouldn't," she says laughing. I give her a puppy dog face.
"Well sense you are the godmother," she says and I clap.
"So her first name is going Oaklee, that is because that is Blake's moms maiden name. Her middle name is Rose and that is after my grandma," she says and I smile.
"Oaklee Rose Jenkins," I say and she smiles nodding.
"That is beautiful," I say and she grips my hand thanking me.
"Who would have thought you would have been the first to get pregnant?" I ask and she shrugs.
"It was a surprise to us all," she laughs. "But I've never been happier. I'm never alone anymore. I have my little sidekick," she says and I smile.
"I can't wait to meet this Bean," I say and she smiles.
"Neither can I," she says and holds her belly.
"Here," she says and grabs a picture out of her purse. I see it's a sonogram picture.
"That is her head, her shoulders, her legs, oh look at her hand covering her face," she says and I laugh.
"Stubborn girl," I laugh.
"So very stubborn," she says and I smile.
"Shoot I have to go," Maisy says checking her watching downing the rest of her smoothie.
"I promised Blake I'd be home by 5," she says and I laugh.
"Wife duties," she says and kisses my cheek. I hug her goodbye and kiss baby Oaklee goodbye.
When she leaves I start on dinner for Nathan and me. I choose to make a chicken Parmesan. The front door opens as I cook.
"Hi babe," I say.
"You look better," Nathan says and comes in kissing my head.
"The pedialyte and green smoothie did wonders," I say and he smiles.
"Good, can I help with anything?" He asks and I shake my head no.
"It'll be done in 5. If you want to get yourself a glass of something and set the table," I say.
"I take it you're not drinking," he says and as he pours himself a glass of red wine.
"Probably not for awhile," I smirk and he laughs. When the food is done I take it to the table and set it down. I sit across from my love and we fill our plates.
"Mmmm bee, this is amazing," he says and I smile.
"You really think so," I say and he nods.
"So tell me about last night," he says.
"Well, we came here and drank then went on a party bus, then I woke up and threw up," I say and he laughs.
"You don't remember anything between that?" He asks.
"Well I did karaoke," I say. He starts laughing and shaking his head.
"Oh my girl," he says.
"What did you do," I ask him.
"My vows," he says and I smile. I have had mine done for a while, but he wanted to wait.
"Can I read them?" I ask him.
"Why would I let you do that?" He asks and I shrug laughing.
"I can't believe it's less than two weeks away, can you?" I ask him.
"No, but I am so excited to call you mine," he says.
"I already am yours," I say and he smiles getting out of his chair. He comes over and kneels in front of me taking my head in his hands and kissing me deeply.
I run my hands through his hair as we kiss deeply. I feel my panties getting wet and I can barely contain myself. We haven't had sex in a while just because we have both been so busy. This has been our first chill night just the two of us in weeks.
I wrap my legs around his waist as we kiss. He grabs my butt and picks me up. He puts me against the wall in the dining room. I am breathless.
The roughness of his unshaven stubble brushed against my skin as he explored my mouth, his tongue probing in between kisses. As he kissed me, his hands slid further and further down my back, until he was cupping my ass through the thin cotton of my panties. My hands explored his neck, his shoulders, the toned muscles of his ches. I gently scraped my fingernails against his skin, and his body began reacting to me.
I moaned against his mouth when his hands slipped into the back of my panties. He squeezed, not so hard as to hurt, but enough to make me gasp. Again, his teeth grazed against my bottom lip.
He picked me up again and took me to our room. He deposited me on our bed and I started to try to get on my knees in front of him. "Oh no no no, tonight is about you my love," he says and I try to protest but he silenced me with a kiss.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, kneeling his legs and pulling me in close. Seated, his head was the perfect height, and I put my hands on his shoulders as he pushed his face between my breasts. He kissed and licked the spot between them as he cupped one in each hand, running his thumbs over my nipples. It felt so good. I couldn't contain the moans and whimpers that escaped my lips.
His tongue traced patterns along my chest and swirled past my breasts, his stubble bristling against my skin. His mouth kept going on its travels down my rib cage and onto my stomach, where he kissed my belly button before beginning a series of kisses further and further down.
It was agonizingly slow, and I was aching all over and begging for more by the time he finally placed a kiss on the top between my legs, just above my slit.
It felt so good. My hips bucked. He laughed to himself and clasped his hands about my hips so I couldn't move. He began to kiss and lick between my legs quickly. The combination of that and not being able to move my hips sent me spiraling. Before I knew it he was inside of me.
He was thrusting hard. Harder than we have ever done before. I am gripping the sheets grunting. I am sure I sound like a fool but I don't care at this point. Nathan reaches around and begins to rub my clit. I try to hold on.
"Come for me," he says. "Don't try to run from it. Come for me," he says and just those words alone send me into one of the biggest orgasms I've ever had.
Nathan grunts and comes along with me. I am out of breath panting as he lays next to me. After we clean ourselves up we lay in bed together. Nathan traces his finger tips along my hips and my body.
"Mmm how does it always get better with you?" I ask.
"I could ask you the same thing," he says and I smile. I stroke his face with my thumb.
"You need to shave," I say and he laughs.
"Do I? You don't like my stubble," he says and I shake my head no laughing.
"What don't you like about it?" He says and moves closer. "How it feels on your skin?" He says and rubs his stubble between my breasts sending me laughing and pulling away.
"No you just look more like my Nathan with a clean face," I say and he smiles pulling me towards him.
"I will tomorrow morning," he says and I smile kissing him.
"Maisy came over today," I say and he looks at me.
"Yeah? How is the baby?" He asks.
"Oaklee is good," I say and he looks down at me. Shit. I forgot I wasn't supposed to tell.
"Okay that was an accident I wasn't supposed to say anything," I say and he laughs.
"Oaklee Jenkins," he says and I nod smiling.
"I like that name, I've never heard it before," he says and I nod.
"I like it too," I say.
"Do you think Ava and Andrew will have kids anytime soon?" He asks.
"I doubt it. Maybe one day," I say. Ava isn't a huge kids person. She also loves work and all of andrew's attention which a kid would get in the way of.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. So are we next then?" He asks.
"What do you mean?" I say.
"Are we next in line to have kids," he says.
"Oh lord, I don't know," I say and look at him.
"We've talked about it I just didn't know if your opinion had changed," he shrugs.
"Has yours?" I ask.
"I don't know," that is his answer for yes but I don't want to upset you.
"Tell me," I say sitting up and covering my breasts with the blanket.
"I've had you to myself for so long. Ever since junior year of high school. And since college we had almost 4 years. I have loved every minute of it, but also seeing you at the hospital with kids is… something else. You would be such a good mom and I want to be a dad. Seeing Charley with his kids it's sweet you know," he says and I smile.
"You would be such a good dad," I say. "I'm not against the idea at all. Of course I want babies with you, I just didn't want to rush the process," I say and he nods.
"I know," he says and I smile kissing him. "We have all the time in the world, I just want a family with you," he says and I smile.
"Well let's wait til we get married and go on our honeymoon and after I'll go to my doctor and stop my birth control," I say and he smiles.
"God how did I get so lucky?" He says and kisses me deeply.
"I love you so much," he says and I smile.
"I love you most," I say rolling over on top of him for one more round.
