This is my new three parter fic that I just had to write down. I promise to update ‘Come as you are’ as soon as possible.
This story is basically what happens when people get intoxicated in a bachelor party. Multiple pairings: SV, Lark, Kelly/Eric, Rachel/Thomas….at least
Night at the club
PART 1
“I really don’t wanna be here right now,” Lauren Reed complained to her best friend Sydney Bristow as they were making their way to the exclusive club located in downtown Los Angeles where the joint bachelor/bachelorette party for their friends Kelly Peyton and Eric Weiss was being held.
Sydney was a tall, elegant brunette who was clad in a red Halston dress that went to her knees and had an empire waist. She had accessorized her simple dress with chandelier earrings and red strappy sandals. Her hair had been pulled to an chignon and her lipstick was the same flaming shade that her dress.
Lauren was a willowy blonde who had chosen a black, strapless Bebe satin dress which fell to her knees and hugged her shapely body. Her make-up was much more subtle than Sydney’s, her black high-heeled sandals more comfortable looking and her only jewelry was a simple diamond bracelet. Her silver diamond wedding ring was the other piece of jewelry that she was wearing, but to her that didn’t count as an accessory.
The two girls had known each other since junior high school and had been roommates at UCLA. Sydney had been Lauren’s maid of honor and Lauren had been there for Sydney when her fiancé Danny had been killed in a car accident two years ago. And tonight Sydney had a clear mission to cheer her best friend who was still acting very much like a wet blanket despite Sydney’s best efforts.
“You are coming, end of discussion. Tonight is for Kelly and Eric and I want you to have the biggest smile imaginable when we enter. This is about having fun; you remember fun, right?” Sydney said with a laugh and nudged Lauren in the arm.
“I’m getting divorced, I don’t want to have fun. I want to crawl to the nearest corner and pity myself while eating endless amounts of ice cream and watching Days of our lives. Besides you only wanna go because Michael Vaughn is going to be there,” Lauren winked and nudged Sydney right back without hesitation.
“You can’t wallow in self-pity for the rest of your life. You have to get out and have fun. You are not the only person in the world who is going through a divorce. And is it so wrong of me to want to ogle at Michael, who by the way is one hunk of man flesh and maybe getting some action tonight?” Sydney retaliated with a naughty smile.
“You can have all the action you want, but leave me out of it. I’m not ready to start dating again, my divorce is not even final yet. How pathetic is it that I’m 25 and my marital status is divorced? I feel like such a loser,” Lauren said back to her self-pitying tone Sydney had thought had evaporate a minute ago. She obviously still had lots of work ahead of her, if she wanted Lauren to have fun.
“Lauren, you’re not a loser. You and Will were married for over six years and it’s not like you ended it on a whim . Don’t get all down on yourself because you tried and in the end it didn’t work. Plus I’m really proud of how you and Will are handling this situation. You’re trying to be civilized and remain friends after everything is said and done,” Sydney said with encouragement as the twosome reached their destination and entered the bar.
“Sydney, Lauren, I’m so happy you made it,” Kelly Peyton said as she noticed two of her good friends arriving. The older brunette looked very much like a blushing bride in a pale pink dress that went nicely with her pink diamond engagement ring that both Lauren and Sydney had been eyeing jealously ever since Eric had popped the question a year ago on Valentine’s day.
“There is no place where I’d rather be than celebrate your last night as a single girl,” Sydney as cheerfully and hugged Kelly lightly. Lauren repeated Sydney’s actions but her well wishes were a little less enthusiastic.
Sydney had spotted Michael through the crowd and he looked yummy in her opinion. The two had met through Kelly last year during the Fourth of July barbeque picnic and they flirted whenever they happened to be in the same place at the same time. Tonight he looked especially good in a navy blue suit and tie.
“Go on, don’t mind little old me. I know you are eager to get yourself some Vaughn, don’t let me stand in the way. I’ll just go find a quiet corner where I can die in peace without interruption.” Lauren noted with a laugh and slightly pushed Sydney in the direction where Michael was standing talking to a blond man wearing a black suit.
“Funny, but I’m not going there to humiliate myself until I’ve had at least a couple of drinks in me. And young lady, you’re not dying on my watch. Now I want you to put on your most engaging smile and enjoy this night. If I see a frown on your face tonight, I will personally torture you tomorrow by forcing you watch a 24 marathon with me.” Sydney said in her most dangerous tone. After Lauren had separated from Will, she had moved in with her until she would find a decent apartment for herself. It had been Will’s grandmothers house where they had lived during their marriage, so she couldn’t possibly with a good conscience to ask her estranged husband to move out of the house where he had grown up.
“Fine, you win. I’ll do almost anything to avoid watching you drool over Kiefer Sutherland, who always miraculously saves the world from complete destruction.” Lauren said with mock terror and stopped a waitress and took two glasses of champagne from the tray. She gulped the content of the glasses before Sydney could reach for her glass. Lauren handed the waitress the glasses and took another two.
“I didn’t know divorce had turned you into an alkie,” Sydney joked and took her drink from Lauren’s hand as a precaution.
Lauren was about to reply to Sydney’s barb about her supposed drinking problem, when Eric Weiss started clinking his glass to get the attention of the room.
“On behalf of me and my wife to be, I want to thank all of you for coming. I know all of you are wondering why we are having a joint party and I am not in Las Vegas painting the town red by gambling and hiring a stripper. The simple reason is, that she didn’t let me. If it were up to me, I would be ridiculously drunk and losing at blackjack, but this wonderful woman who has inexplicably agreed to be my wife wanted to throw all of you a party and also she wanted to keep me in a tight leash.” Eric joked and got a good laugh from his friends and family. Kelly shot her future husband a not so happy glance and took a microphone from his hand with a quick peck on her fiancé’s lips.
“I command all of you to have a good time tonight. Dance, mingle, eat; there is certainly enough food to feed a small army thanks to my fiancé’s inability to choose between Chinese and Italian food, so naturally we are now serving both of them.” Kelly concluded the opening of the party and nodded to the DJ who started playing Frank Sinatra as an homage to Eric and Kelly, who had met during a showing of Sinatra’s movie ’From here to Eternity’.
“Please god, don’t let that be Rachel who is coming towards us. I’ll join you in the suicide corner if that air headed bimbo forces herself on our company tonight. Let’s pretend we are having a real intense conversation about something and hope she’ll get the message and goes away,” Sydney suggested as she had noticed that the tall blonde was trying to get an eye contact with her.
“Okay, what do you wanna pretend to talk about? Find a topic quickly, since the blonde ambition vehicle is making her way to us and will torture us with her presence sooner than you can say annoying,” Lauren suggested while glancing at the other blonde woman who was now actively inching herself closer to the twosome.
“Why are you still wearing your wedding ring? You separated from Will about five months ago and all that time that you have lived with me, I haven’t seen you taking it off once. You use that ring as a ’keep out’ sign don’t you? Like that guy we met at the gym yesterday who wanted to take you out, but you told him that you were married. Or are you still thinking about a possibly trying to breath life into a marriage that doesn’t make either of you happy? ” Sydney asked seriously and really wanted Lauren to give her a good answer and not try her usual sarcasm to stray from the actual question.
“You are way off Oprah, I wear it because I’m still technically married and married people usually wear a ring to symbolize their union. Maybe, possibly I’m not ready to give up on the idea that I’ll live happily ever after with my high school sweetheart. But Syd, if you want to cheer me up, don’t try to analyze my feelings tonight even if you saw a Dr. Phil special you think will fix all my problems.” Lauren said with a resounding voice that told Syd very clearly that the topic was closed for now on.
Rachel had thankfully been held back and was chatting away with a female guest neither Lauren or Sydney knew. They relocated to the other part of the club, going to take something to eat and hoping that when Rachel would stop talking that poor woman’s ears off, she wouldn’t spot them anymore.
“Hi Sydney, how are you? I haven’t seen you for ages,” said a masculine voice from behind the women and Sydney instantly recognized that the voice belonged to Michael and turned around in record time.
“Michael, so good to see you again. I’m doing very well, keeping busy with work. What have you been up lately?” Sydney asked while trying not to jump up and down with excitement that he had actually remembered her name and came to talk to her.
“Nothing that interesting. Been working a lot lately, us doctors will never run out of sick people to treat.” Michael said with a smile that made Sydney want to melt. He was good looking, funny and a doctor, all three things that most women would have swooned over and Sydney was not an exception.
Lauren cleared her throat rather loudly as an effort to stop Sydney from making a fool out of herself by just blushing and staring at Michael with a obvious ‘take me now, I’m yours’ expression on her face. That seemed to do the trick and she broke her intense gaze directed to his blue orbs.
“Have you met my friend Lauren Reed? She’s also one of the bridesmaids for the wedding,” Sydney said while and slightly hit Lauren on the ribs to make sure she’s plays nicely.
“Yes, I remember you Mrs. Reed. I met you and your husband Will in the barbeque. He’s not here, is he? We had an interesting conversation about F. Scott Fitzgerald that I’d like to continue.” Michael said politely and was a little taken back when the blonde’s smile turned upside down and her demeanor tensed immediately at the mention of her husband’s name.
“Lauren and Will are legally separated and he’s not here tonight,” Sydney stepped in before Lauren could reply.
“Oh, I’m really sorry. I can talk out of the side of my ass sometimes, as my friend Julian can corroborate.” Michael said with regret and winked to a blond man who stood near the threesome sipping champagne.
“Well, Mickey does talk to too much and too much felgercarb most of the time,” the man replied with a laugh and made his way over to where Lauren, Sydney and Michael were standing.
“Sydney and Lauren, this is my friend Julian Lazarey, who works at the same hospital than me and Eric. He is a lawyer and not a doctor so don’t accept any free examinations from him.” Michael joked and slapped Julian on the back.
“Nice to meet you ladies. Lauren, can I have this dance?” Julian said and extended his had to Lauren’s when the DJ started playing another one of Frank Sinatra’s hits.
As Lauren was about to politely decline the invitation, Sydney made her move and practically pushed Lauren forward and making her collide with Julian’s body.
“She would love to go dancing with you. Lauren works an a choreographer and owns her own dance studio, so you know she is excellent,” Sydney advertised and made it completely impossible for her friend to turn down the offer.
“Sydney, care to join your friend on the dance floor?” Michael said and stretched out his hand and lead Sydney to the dance floor.
