'Another gee and tee?' Elise asked in her soft French accent.

'Oui!' her sister nodded shaking her large bowled gin glass making the ice rattle inside it.

'Doubles, huh?' Elise confirmed enthusiastically, her eyes widening with excitement as she said it.

Kym finished the last dribble of liquid left amongst the ice from the glass, then passed it to Elise. Elise took it and walked to the bar.

At that moment Kirsty and Sophie walked into the bar. They spotted Kym and Chloe and walked over to their table.

'Elise is at za bar,' Chloe smiled. 'We're on ze doubles now!' she laughed.

Elise looked over her shoulder and spotted her two friends, they made some exaggerated hand gestures, then Elise nodded and turned to face the bar. Kirsty and Sophie undid their coats like a copying comedy duo, then their scarves, their coats slithered down their arms, then they turned and faced each other, then away from each other, then they walked in opposite directions having spotted coat racks on either side of the bar. They hung up their coats and scarves and walked back to the table, simultaneously sitting down next to each other, opposite Kym.

'Bloody work!' Kirsty started.

'We never finish on time!' continued Sophie.

'Then the bus to get here. What a nightmare.' Kirsty moaned.

'First one was full, then the next one was... You tell them then Kirsty, you do it so much better than me!'

'Well the first one was full. Not even any standing room. And no men offered up their places! They just pushed themselves on!'

'Chivalry is dead!' chipped in Sophie.

'Well, we didn't want to be sandwiched between those smelly men anyway did we?' Sophie and Kirsty laughed.

'So the next one...' Sophie started only to be distracted by Elise slowly tottering over with a tray containing 5 large bowl glasses filled with ice, fruit, tonic and best of all, gin. Large gins. 'Let me help you with that.. 'Sophie stood up and started taking the glasses from the tray and dishing them out to her friends.

Elise gave Sophie a peck on each cheek and greeted her warmly, thanking her for her help and complementing her on how well she looked. She gave a giggling acceptance and returned the compliment, smiling at each other like old friends do. Elise sat down next to Kirsty, bumping her bum with hers before kissing her softly on the lips.

'Get a room!' Sophie laughed grabbing her glass of gin. The girls giggled. Elise and Kirsty had been an item for so long now, everyone was completely comfortable in the way they flirted and kissed when they were together. The dynamic within the group of friends hadn't changed as it may have done if a man had joined their close knit circle.

Chloe took a sip from her glass and started to update Kirsty and Sophie, glancing over at Kym who sat quietly, her glass in her hand. 'It came through today.' Chloe said solemnly.

Kym took up the narrative. 'It's official and final now. I'm no longer Mrs David Brandon.' Kym forced a smile from the corners of her mouth.

'Oh poor dear!' Sophie replied. 'And there you were, Kirsty, prattling on about the stupid bus!'

Sophie, Kirsty and Kym giggled.

'Thanks Sophie. But less of the 'poor dear' you patronising cow!' Kym laughed. 'Five years of marriage was enough. We gave it a shot, but if it isn't right, it isn't right. It's time to move on!'

''Ere, 'ere!' announced Elise trying to lighten the mood, she lifter her glass making the other ladies follow suit. They all clicked glasses and took a mouth full of ice cold gin and tonic.

'So that's It? Final?' Kirsty asked.

'Yes, I'm back to being Ms Kym McMillan.' Kym smiled and took another large gulp of gin and tonic.

'No regrets?' Sophie asked.

'No regrets.' Came the desolate response from Kym. She took another swig from her glass, the ice cubes rattled as she drained the last bits from the glass. 'Same again?' she announced and stood up. She made her way to the bar before anyone could reply.

'Is she ok?' Kirsty asked Elise and Chloe quietly over the table.

'Oui. She knew it was coming. I think it is just about sinking in now. They've spoken today, there's no 'ard feelings there.'

'Tell her about ze money!' Chloe prompted.

'Ah yes. Ze money. So they were saving for a sports car. His idea I think, but now they've divorced, he has handed her half of the money. With his job, he put most in, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He transferred it today into her account.'

'Over thirty grand.' Chloe cut in.

'Oui. About that. But she doesn't want it. She calls it his dirty money. She wants to give it away...'

Kym returned with the drinks and placed the tray on the table. She dished out the glasses and stacked the empties back on the tray.

Sitting down, Kym looked at Kirsty and Sophie. 'So Elise has told you about the money David gave me?'

Kirsty laughed nervously, 'She mentioned something, erm, yes.'

'It's alright, it's no secret, at least not from you!' Kym laughed. 'I was going to give it away, but why should I? I don't really need it. Then I had a thought as I was overhearing a couple discussing their wedding when I was waiting for the drinks. How much did you all spend that day? The dresses, shoes, bags, hair, makeup, tans, nails, the list in endless! I should reimburse you for that!'

The ladies responded with a chorus of 'no' and 'don't be silly!'

'We all had a great time that day, Kym.' Kirsty stated. 'And we didn't do it for any other reason other than to make you happy and be there on your special day.'

'And when the time comes, we'll do it again, just like we know you will for us!' Sophie chipped in.

'I know.' Kym smiled, brushing strands of her long, loose, dark hair and tucking them behind her ear before taking another sip from her glass then setting it down on the table. 'And I knew you would say that. What about the money spent in Spain on the hen holiday?'

The group burst out laughing.

'After what I saw with Elise and that cream...' Sophie started

Chloe silenced her almost by forcing her hand onto Sophie's open mouth comically. 'What 'appened in Spain, stays in Spain!' Chloe laughed.

The ladies laughed with Sophie and Kirsty as Elise blushed as her mind recreated what actually did happen in Spain.

'That was brilliant, wasn't it?' Kym laughed. It was the best holiday I've ever had! Well, there was another one I had where I spent most of the two weeks in bed, but I want to try and forget about that!' she sipped from her gin again. 'So how about I treat you to a holiday away? I was thinking more about excitement that beaches.'

'That's very kind of you, but you don't have to. Get yourself a new car or something.' Kirsty, the voice of reason and sensibility in the group tried to advise Kym.

'Kirsty, I want it gone. Spent. I'll keep the memories and that's all. It's either that or I'll give it to a cat shelter.'

'I bloody hate cats.' Murmured Chloe.

The ladies burst out laughing and took a long, slow drink of gin allowing the suggesting to sink in. They knew how stubborn Kym was and when she had her mind set on something, she did it. Just like the wedding, just like now.

Kym took another sip of gin, then looked at her silent friends. She had an epiphany. 'Vegas. Bloody Vegas! Let's go to Vegas. It's not somewhere David would ever take me, too much noise and bustle, I'm booking tickets for us all to go to Vegas!'

The ladies looked at each other. There was no way of talking Kym out of an idea, so they all provisionally agreed over another round of gin.

'Let's compare diaries, I'll find a travel agent that will get us there first class and all I want you ladies to do is be at the airport with your passport and clothes.' Kym finished the last bit of liquid in her glass and placed it on the table. 'Sophie,' Kym pointed to her then the bar and grinned 'celebratory round! I'm going to the ladies...'

Elise and her sister were muttering quietly in French. They had come to some sort of agreement, then Elise spoke before Sophie stood up. 'We are going, aren't we?' Elise looked for agreement. The ladies nodded 'because I've read about a place in Vegas...'

'It's supposed to be epic!' Chloe cut in.

'Where we can properly put zis failed marriage to bed. 'llI book It, all you need to bring is your bridesmaid dresses and shoes with you. I'll bring her wedding dress.' Elise plotted.

'You still have them, right?' Chloe confirmed.

'Yes of course. It's the most expensive dress I've ever worn, I wasn't going to throw it out!' laughed Sophie. 'I sometimes wear it when I'm alone in the house.'

'That's so sad!' Kirsty laughed. 'But so do I!' the ladies burst out laughing then nodded in agreement. As much as Sophie and Kirsty asked the sisters about what the plan was or why they needed their dresses, they were no wiser.

*-*-*-*-*

It was the third day of the ladies' Vegas holiday. Kym had truly spoilt them. First class on the airplane, a fantastic suite that they shared, eating out every night and enjoying the sites an!d atmosphere of Las Vegas. And at no point did the ladies pay for anything. They all sat in their suite, relaxed after a long day of pampering.

'Today's on us!' Kirsty announced as she lounged on the long sofa, her legs up and feet on Elise's lap. 'You treated us to this holiday, the least we can do is give you something back!'

'You shouldn't have!' replied Kym. 'I'm just so glad you all took time off to come with me!'

'Ha! It'z ze school holidays, what else would we be doing? Lesson plans for next year's shitz?!' Elise burst out laughing.

'I know, but Chloe, you had to take a week off work didn't you?' Kym continued.

Chloe giggled in her soft French accent. 'Ah yes, but this beats work, doesn't It!' she laughed lifting her glass of champagne and taking a sip. 'Besides, we have something special planned for you tonight!'

'Oh! That sounds like fun!' Kym cheered and pulled the bottle of champagne from the ice bucket. She waddled round the room, dressed in her white slippers and soft bathrobe filling everyone's glasses.

'Oh it will be!' laughed Chloe, making Elise give her a nudge to be quiet and not give the game away.

'Anyway. I'm glad you decided to do this!' Sophie added. 'What we need to find tonight is a few, rich, hot bachelors to amuse us!'

They all started laughing and continued to chat and sip champagne.

A few days after Kym confirmed numbers and booked the holiday, Elise and Chloe started organising their plan. Chloe had read an article which she showed to Elise a while ago about a special cake shop that had chains around the world but mainly in the States. At the time, Chloe wanted to turn the concept to the bakery where she worked, more because that the concept appealed to her and sounded fun rather than it being a viable business decision. They read about a place on the Strip called Sugar Factory, which specialises in some great desserts. The additional hook they had, which really appealed to Chloe, was that they offer a service of letting parties hire a private VIP room, called The Sugar and Spice Lounge, that had a tagline 'Play with your food'. The description online stated that they can have food fights, chuck pies around and have messy fun whilst leaving the venue to deal with the supplies and clean-up.

Chloe and Elise crowded over Elise's laptop and read the details and what they had to offer. Different services, waiters, substances there were so many choices. But since Kym was paying for the holiday, they looked at the best packages.

'This one only has pies and cakes.' Elise noticed (speaking in her native tongue to her sister)

'Look at the premium package.' Chloe had already scoured the site before. 'That's the one we want. God I'm getting so excited already! Do you think Kym will play along?'

'Yes I think so. I'm not sure about wearing the dress but I think she will have fun when we get there. I'm not sure about Sophie.'

'Once she sees Kirsty getting involved, she'll want to join in!'

'And I know Kirsty will get involved!' Elise laughed. 'She's as bad as us!' They both burst out laughing.

'What do you mean?' Chloe giggled coyly. 'Celia's coming too. Do you think she'd want to get involved?'

'I'm more concerned about Abi. I've not seen her in a while. And you know what teenagers are like!' Elise sighed.

'Ha, she's no longer a teenager! She's grown up to be a lovely young lady! I think she'll enjoy it, we just need to get Celia involved early on!' Chloe laughed at her sister's poor memory of Abi. 'Abi will be fine. I'm sure. Oh, there. You can choose a waiter.' Chloe's voice exploded with excitement as she pointed to the screen.

'Waiter? What for?' Elise asked.

'You chose. They can administer the pies, watch, join in. Your choice.'

'Hmm. Let's take a look who's working that night. I'm not convinced.'

'Oh my god. We're having him. Look how strong he looks. His profile says he will do anything to us. I want him pieing me, as I'm tied down and naked! Book him, Elise!'

'He does look strong, I like his facial hair, quite rugged but he has a soft sensitive face.' Elise looked closer at his profile. 'Look at what he won't do. No nudity. That's a bit boring. Shit! Look how much he costs. That's expensive.'

'But worth it? I don't know. Here's one more.' Chloe quickly added, 'blonde hair and a cheeky face. Looks quite strong but also gentle. He looks like he's lots of fun. I think Kym would like him, he's completely different to David.'

'Ok. But have a closer look at his likes and dislikes. He prefers men.' Elise sighed with a disappointed look in her eyes.

'Oh god. I know a couple of waiters that will come and do a splendid job!'

'No. You don't mean...'

'He loves you, Elise. Ask him. Get one, the other will follow! They both chuckled and Elise pulled out her phone and started dialling.

*-*-*-*-*

Back at the Vegas suite, Elise had the difficult job of getting Kym to wear her wedding dress once again. They had planned today so that they not only had a relaxing day of massages and facials, chilling by the pool, but they had their hair done, nails polished and makeup professionally applied (with a lot of help and advice from Kym's mum, Celia). Just as they did on the morning of Kym's wedding.

'So where are we going tonight?' Kirsty asked Elise. She knew what she was to wear, she just didn't know why and what they were going to do.

'Yeah, who's sorted out tonight's activities?' Kym asked.

'That would be us...' Chloe replied, grinning.

'Oui, it is down to me and Chloe. We have sorted out the venue and the entertainment.' Chloe and Elise giggled.

'And we should be getting ready soon. We have a reservation!' Chloe added.

'Oui. Alors. Kym, you remember how lovely you looked on your wedding day, well, tonight we want to do a recreation. But with a difference.'

Kym looked puzzled she didn't know what to say. 'I hope you don't mind. I asked your mum for this and brought it with us.' Elise went into the bedroom, opened her wardrobe and pulled out the wedding dress. She walked back into the suite living room where the ladies had congregated holding the dress up on its hanger.

'Will you put this on for one more time?' asked Elise as sweetly as she could.

'Erm. I'm not sure.' Replied Kym. 'I don't want to, but do I have a choice?'

'I promise you zat after today, you'll never want to wear it, or even be able to wear it again!' chipped in Chloe.

'Chloe, I can't honestly say I want to wear the dress today!' replied Kym.

'Do you trust us?' asked Elise solemnly.

'No!' laughed Kym, standing up and taking the dress. 'But fuck it. We're in Vegas!' The other ladies laughed too, the mood lightening, 'it is a beautiful dress! What do you have in store?' Kym put the dress against her slim body. 'I hope it still fits. And girls, I'm not marrying anyone today. Is that clear!'

The ladies laughed again. 'You never know! The night is still young!' Kirsty chipped in.

Sophie and Chloe has nipped to their respective bedrooms and came out holding a bridesmaid dress in each hand.

'You're not going to be the only one dresses up recreating your wedding day!' Sophie laughed.

'At least you will still fit in yours!' Abi, Kym's younger sister laughed. 'I was 14 when I last wore this! And I can tell you now that I've grown a bit since then!' Abi held the light pink dress against herself. It was clear that it was going to be tight but Abi was giggling and playing along happy to be part of her big sister's circle of friends. 'And mum's even brought her hat!'

The girls burst out laughing once more. Celia, who was sat at the far end of the suite, taking everything in, grinned. 'Oh yes! I nearly forgot. I've still got the hat I wore to your wedding. I'm looking forward to putting in on again today. I do think I look very smart in it!'

'No you don't!' laughed Abi and Kym in agreement. The girls all joined in to the chorus of laughing.

'Come on, Kym. Let's get you in this!' Elise grinned, shaking the hanger that held the heavy dress.

'Oh god no! What have you in store for me?' exclaimed Kym shaking her head making her brown curls dance around her head.

'Don't ask us, Elise and Chloe have set this up. We've no idea either!' Kirsty replied.

Sophie and Kym looked at each other, then at the grinning siblings. In unison they groaned, 'Oh No!'

*-*-*-*-*

With their hair, nails and makeup done, it didn't take long for the ladies to be dressed and ready to go out. The bridesmaids in matching light pink dresses and a strappy pink shoes, each with French polished white toenail and finger tips. Their skin showing a health tan from the few days in the sun and their hair identically tied up just as they did for Kym's wedding. They then finished helping Kym into her long and heavy bridal dress. To her relief, the dress still fit snugly. There was only one thing worse that wearing the wedding dress, thought Kym, and that would be wearing an ill-fitting wedding dress.

The corset was tight around Kym's slim waist, her shoulders bare and her well-proportioned breasts tastefully covered. She pulled the top up as Chloe and Elise tied the back up. It was strapless and had bust supports built in so she didn't need a bra that may have spoiled the lines of the dress. Underneath the dress she wore a pair of white stockings, clipped to a belt and a white thong. Elise had even brought the shoes Kym wore for the wedding, a white pair of Dolce and Gabbana slip on heels. They were the most expensive shoes she had ever owned, and she only wore them once. Her simple white veil was carefully placed on top of her head, Elise and Celia made sure it didn't ruin her perfectly styled hair.

Dressed and ready, the wedding party had one more glass of champagne in the hotel suite. They took some obligatory pictures, then they made their way to the limo that waited for them outside. As they walked they attracted a lot of attention. They looked fantastic and incredibly sexy. Comments were made about the 'lucky man'. Little did the well-wishers know where they were actually going. But then nor did anyone except Elise and Chloe.
