“Cass!”
“I’m holding you! You won’t fall. Just trust me.”
“Aren’t we there yet?”
“We are! Just few more steps!”
Two days passed and today, the bachelors party and bridal shower are happening simultaneously. I’m blindfolded while Cassandra is assisting me. I actually said I don’t want this since I don’t really have friends to go with, but Cassandra won the argument.
“We’re here!”
“Can I take off the blindfold now?”
“Yes!” I took it off and blinked for a few times. “Surprise!” When my vision was cleared, I looked around and saw Irene.
“Irene? Why are you here?”
“Same question. Why am I here? It’s not like I can decline the offer of the Cassandra Zach.” Cassandra pulled me and Irene closer.
“What’s with you two? Aren’t you cousins? Both of you are the only female Harris, you should have been besties!”
“Besties? Yeah, right. More like mortal enemies,” I said.
“Come on! Forget the past and try to build a friendship! The three of us would be besties from now on!”
“I can’t believe the elegant and sophisticated Cassandra Zach is this playful,” Irene said.
“Why? Am I not allowed to be one? I’m a human.” It was silent until Cassandra suddenly pulled us for a hug. “Come on! Forget the past and just be friends! There’s no reason for the two of you fight anyway!”
Irene and I only talked once after the Jackson incident. Actually, I don’t really have anything against Irene. It’s just that we were raised with a mindset that there’s a competition between her family and mine.
Cassandra keeps pushing us to be close. We started drinking, singing, dancing, and all of those are led by Cassandra. She really doesn’t look like the president of Z&H empire tonight.
“How can she be this free, when she’s the president of the largest company in Casterdale?” I heard Irene, who’s sitting beside me, mumble.
“It’s because she’s contented on what she has. She’s already at the highest, what more can she do other than having fun?” I answered as I drink a glass of whiskey.
“Right... the tension is at us, the lower ones, since we keep striving for the highest.”
“We’re just greedy, that’s why we never became contented on what we have. We keep wanting more and more, to the point that we keep forgetting to have fun.”
“Life is unfair.” I turned to Irene and saw her drink a whole glass of whiskey. “You get pressured when you’re not on top, while you get suffocated when you’re at the top.”
“It’s always the contentment. It’s up to you whether to be satisfied or not.” She turned to me and smirked.
“Why? Are you now satisfied since you will marry the CEO of Z&H?”
“I would still marry Cameron even if he’s a bodyguard. The person I fell in love with is Cameron, the bodyguard, not the CEO. I found contentment when he and Aviana came into my life. Also, after everything that has happen for the past months... I’m just contented knowing that all my love ones are safe and breathing.”
“Are you a philosopher now? Where’s the bitch everybody hates?”
“She’s still here, but once you have a daughter... you’ll figure out another reason to live and a reason to change on who you are.”
Cassandra keeps singing at the karaoke, while me and Irene just keeps on drinking. We started to get drunk and wasted. Suddenly, Cassandra stopped the music and glanced at us.
“What is the highlight of a bridal shower?” she playfully asked.
“No, you did not!” I exclaimed after realizing what she meant.
“Yes, I did! Boys, come in!” Suddenly, the door opened and three men, who are topless, entered and started sexy dancing along with the music.
“Now this is what you call a bridal shower!” Irene shouted. One man tried to approach me but I backed out.
“No! I’m getting married, don’t come near me! Approach Irene instead!” One man was dancing in front of Cassandra so I had to pull her away. “Your brother would kill me if he finds out!”
“Come on! Don’t be a party pooper Savannah! Cassandra is already at a legal age! Let her be!”
“I’m keeping an eye on her! I don’t want to be responsible.”
The three men ended up flirting and dancing in front of Irene. She didn’t refuse and by the looks of it, she’s enjoying.
“Yeah! Flirt all you want Irene! They are all yours!” I shouted while laughing. She even started touching and licking the abs of one man which made me and Cassandra yell. “Slow down bitch! No one is going to take them away from you!” I jokingly shouted.
“Enjoy the feast and forget about that jackass criminal!”
“Right! I will forget about him! What’s good about him anyway?! He finishes in three minutes!” Irene shouted as she pushes one man to a chair. She sat on his lap and started kissing him torridly. I tried covering Cassandra’s eyes but she just pushed my hands away.
“I’m not innocent as you think I am. Let me be satisfied just by watching,” she said.
“Wow, I never knew you have a wild side.”
“A side that only you will know.” We both laugh as we continue to drink and watch Irene make-out with three men.
“Irene, slow down! We don’t want a live show!” I shouted.
“Why don’t you two join me?! The more the merrier!”
“Shut up! I’m getting married, just go and enjoy yourself.”
“I’m good at just watching. I hope you’ll be able to walk tomorrow,” Cassandra jokingly said which made me laugh. Irene stood up from the lap of the man and turned around. She approached us and drank half the bottle of whiskey. She was wearing a skirt, and the next thing she did shocked me.
“Oh my gosh, Irene! Are you crazy?!” I shouted when she removed her underwear. She also removed her bra. She grabbed her purse and started throwing money to the three men. “Hey! Aren’t you going too far?!”
“What do you mean? This was my life before I got engaged to that criminal.”
“Well at least proceed to the bedroom?! We’re here?”
“Like I care. Cassandra is already asleep. You can bring her out and leave the room if you don’t want to join.” She smirked before turning back to the boys. “You’ll get double the money if you’ll be able to satisfy me. Triple if you make me forget the dick of my criminal ex.”
She sat back on the lap of the man, but this time she’s facing towards us. The man on the chair started touching her legs and going through her skirt. The second man started grabbing her boobs from behind and she started moaning like crazy. She looked at me and smirked.
“I hope you don’t mind me taking your bridal shower gifts,” she said before starting kissing the third guy. Oh, my gosh. She’s crazy! I don’t know if it’s the whiskey, but I’m getting hot and turned on. I grabbed Cassandra, who’s passed out, and went out of the room.
I wonder if the boys at the bachelors’ party have something like this too. I trust Cameron, but my brothers, especially Sylvester would enjoy something like this. Irene is on another level, oh my gosh How can she be that bold? She’s insane.
