Anchored at sea - Act is if

———

-Okay, here is the think, I want to do it in the most expensive place in Manhattan, I want the decorations to be perfectly placed, I want the cutlery impeccable, the tablecloths...

The brunette stops talking when the woman in front od her clear her throat.

-Those are good suggestions Mrs. Levesque but I would like to hear the opinion of the bride.

Stephanie rolls her eyes and looks to her right to find her daughter-in-law with her lips joined in a line.

The environment became uncomfortable.

Nicole had warned her sister about that woman, but the younger twin never thought that behavior would be so literal.

-Paige- Brianna says looking at the pale female -Tell me your ideas.

The English woman looks at her mother-in-law who takes out her cell phone and starts typing on it.

Suppressing the impulse to roll her eyes, the younger one smiles in apology to the brunette in front of her.

-Well, I always wanted a simple wedding, maybe in a garden or a roof, with blue flowers and white decoration, lots of lights and basically that.

Brianna smiles at the image in her head.

-I love it, you have good style- Paige smiles tenderly -We can do it whenever you want.

-If you are going to spend my son's money, do it well- Mutters the brunette.

Brianna erases the smile on her face and feels the urge to roll her eyes.

-I will be in contact- Says the Englishwoman standing up.

Brie imitates her and extends her hand for seconds later being squeezed by the brunette, she thought to pass the hand to the brunette, but since she was just looking the other way, Brianna walked away with a smile directed at the pale beauty.

What a woman- Think the youngest twin.

-Stephanie, would you please be more kind?-  Says the raven-haired lady rolling her eyes.

-If you don't like the mother-in-law you can change it.

Paige resists the urge to roll her eyes again.

She felt like a mother trying to educate her spoiled child.

Paige was not in the mood for Stephanie's games, not today.

She had waithing for this day for two whole weeks, she didn't have time for Stephanie and her whim to stay with Seth for herself.

If the brunette kept pushing, Paige would lose her head.

-Again- Nicole let out a sigh, she didn't know if it was frustration or relief.

-Yep, again- Says her blonde co-worker typing on her computer -I told you what you have to do.

-I will not do such a thing Lana, forget it- Says the brunette sitting behind her desk, rolling her eyes at the insistence of the blonde.

For more than a week, the secret cup of wine magically appeared on her desk.

The sender, quite obvious.

-I'll tell you what we are doing tonight...

Nicole rolls her eyes with a smile.

-We'll go to that bar, we'll see if I got lucky with some idiot, we'll have fun, we'll drink and if we find him... you sleep with him.

The older twin choked on the sip of wine she was swallowing.

-I am not doing that.

-Scared of the boss?

Nikki just rolls her eyes, as she begins to check her boss's schedule.

-Trying again- Lana says looking at her co-worker with a mocking smile.

Nicole looks up confusedly, meeting a rather carefree Tom.

-Very funny, I just want to discuss some things- The man defends himself.

-I have an idea- Says the blonde out of nowhere.

-I've just told Nicole to fuck the boss's boyfriend, but she's a coward so, what do you think if you both help each other. We'll go to the bar tonight and if we find Roman and you sleep with him, you're giving Tommy a chance with Fox.

-That doesn't make any sense- Says the brunette laughing.

-Do you think I can't do it on my own?- Says the man, looking clearly offended.

-Let's be realistic Tom Philips- Says the blonde.

Tom was going to protest, when he realizes he does not have a coherent argument so he decides to shut up. -

-Done, tonight will be fun- Says Lana smiling flirtatiously.

The orange-haired woman hides her face in the book she was reading, increasingly impatient to know how it ends. It was only a few pages to end and the problem just seemed to grow more and more.

Becky knew that that book would not end well, which gave her a sour feeling in her mouth, she had become so fond of the characters.

-I think you chose the wrong book.

The Irish woman looks up to meet a paer of brown eyes, watching her.

The second time she had returned to that library, she had discovered that he worked there, since then she goes every time she has free time for herself.

She liked the library, the smell, the silence, the man in front of her, from afar, only from afar.

How do you like to suffer- Becky repeated to herself every time she went to that library.

-Excuse me?- Says distracted.

Phil smiles sideways -Stephen King, I don't  think it's a good choice in your conditions.

-My conditions?

Phil lets out a sigh and advances until he is next to the female, occupying the space on the couch next to her.

-You have a little you in your stomach Becks and that little you feels and listens to everything you feel or say... do you want to scare them?

Becky turns her eyes to the book.

-I'm almost finishing- Says female like a little girl, which made the man smile unconsciously.

-It's your little you, I just give a little advice- Says the tattooed one to stand up.

Phil made his way to the section that he was indicated to go when he heard his name be called.

-Phil- Says the Irish woman one more time, reaching him.

-Becca- He says turning to see her.

-Do you have plans when get out of here?- The orange haired woman knew she would regret it.

-Not really.

-I was thinking to take a walk in Central Park later and her uncle- She says rubbing her belly -He hates when I'm walk alone at such times so... do you want to come?

Phil smiles from ear to ear and looks at the small bundle in the stomach of the Irishwoman.

-It will be a pleasur.

Alexa smiles mischievously at seeing her card.

-Why that smile- The Irish man says.

-Nothing- Says the blonde pretending indifference.

The blue-eyed man narrows his eyes, looking at her with suspicion.

-It's your turn- Says the little blonde.

Finn places one of his five cards in the middle, on top of the red card like his.

Alexa smiles with malice and shows her last card, red.

-You cheated- Says the Irishman standing up.

-What? Of course not- The blonde defends herself.

-Yes, you cheated, I'm sure you had a green card.

-Ammm yes, a round ago, and you just confessed that you cheated by looking at my cards.

-It's not my fault that you show them to me.

-Shut up- Says the blonde laughing.

Finn approaches with a mocking smile, taking Lexi by the waist.

-Learn to lose- Alexa says placing her hands around his neck.

-Its going to be hard- Says the blue-eyed -I never lose, I'm a champion.

The little blonde rolls her eyes.

Alexa never thought she saw herself that way with Finn Balor, the blue-eyed one was the one who bothered her the most every day.

This man had taken her for an easy girl, for a girl who desperately needed a man.

And now, both were in each other's arms, breathing so close that their noses brushed.

So close that Alexa felt the need to cut any space between them.

And as if Finn seemed to read her mind, he took the blonde's face in his hands to plant a deep kiss on her lips.

Alexa felt that the air was leaving her in that kiss, her knees began to give that familiar vibration again.

Finn laid her gently on his bed, standing on top of her, careful not to crush her, kissing her face, cheeks, forehead, nose and neck.

Lexi could feel the drastic change of environment, suddenly her whole body burned and her clothes were practicly begged for being thrown away.

Alexa broke the kiss to take off the old shirt she was wearing.

The blue-eyed man examines the practicly naked body of the little blonde if it wasen't for her underwar.

-Are you sure? - Asks the Irishman.

Lexi just nods her head, wraps her arms around Finn, pulling him to her and melt into his lips and touch.

Paige smiles tenderly as she sees her fiance enter the room.

The two-toned was dressed not very formal as every morning, just black jeans and a t-shirt of his favorite band.

-Can I know where you're going mister?- Asked the English woman.

-It's my bachelor party- Seth says getting closer to the bed where his fiancee was.

-Out wedding is in three months- Paige laughs -Invent something better next time.

Seth smiles and sits on the bed, placing his arm around the pale woman, bringing her closer to him. -I'll go out with Dean and Roman, Dean wants an excuse to drink and he says this is an early bachelor party.

The raven-haired beauty rolls her eyes at the mention of Dean.

Seth laughs at the reaction of the female.

-But, I will not be late and tomorrow we'll spend the whole day together, as we did before all this craziness of the wedding.

-You promise?- Paige says.

Since they had arrived in New York the two-toned was busy with his father, nothing to be alarmed, the man was just looking for time with his son who he did not see for five years.

While Paige was busy with the wedding preparations and enduring Stephanie's behavior.

The couple had not had time to hang out together like they would wanted, only at nights when both came from their respective commitments.

-I promise- Seth places his hand in the belly of the English woman.

Paige almost enters in panic.

-I can't wait to start a family with you- He whispers in her ear.

The female smiles form ear to ear, placing her hand over her fiance's.

-Me neither.
