Later that afternoon...

"Nick!" Linda called as she arrived home

"Hey beauty, how was it?" he asked as he gave her a little kiss

"It was really nice, besides the fact Trish spent the all time bitching"

"Yeah, figures... so you ready?" he asked as he took his arms around her waist

"For tonight? I think so, I'm sure they are all nice people" he said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek "Now I'm gonna take a shower and get ready, ok?"

"Ok, ok"

Nick watched her as she walked her way upstairs.

"yeah, they are nice, but why the fuck am I so nervous?"
 

****************

"Trish is it you?" Howie called from the kitchen as he heard the door being unlocked.

"Yes, it me, what are you doing there?"

"Well, just a little something, I'm sick of ordering food"

"yeah me too" she said as she sat by the kitchen balcony "Man my feet are killing me" she said as she took the shoes off

"Tired sweetie?"

"Yeah, it was nice though, this guy Pierre, he is just a joke, you should see him, with his thick french accent, always mademoiselle this mademoiselle that. it's hilarious, but he was really sweet. And he is a genius, I gotta admit the dress is really pretty"

"In you I'm sure it will look even prettier" Howie said as Trish smiled at the compliment.

"Anyway, i need Brian's and Kevin's number, gotta talk to the wives"

"Leighanne and Kristin? what for?"

"Well, as you remember I was only having one maid of honour, Linda.. "

"Yeah, so?"

"Well Pierre says it is better I have at least four, or like he said QUATRE"

"ha ha ha. so you thinking on inviting them?"

"Well, I don't really know Kristin, but Leighanne is really sweet, and she was really nice to me, and well, I think it would be nice to make them be a part of this"

"Yeah of course, you can use my cell, it's on Kev and Rok"

"Ok thanks, I'll go to the living room to call them, ok?"

"K"
 
 
 

"hhm let me see, who do I call first... Brian" she said as she pressed the call button

"yeah, hello?"

"Brian, well look this is Trish"

"Hey Trish! How are you? How's Howie?"

"I'm fine and well so is Howie, he is on the kitchen right now, fixing us dinner he said..."

"What is it Trish?"

"Do you have like a favourite colour, for the dresses, I still don't know what colour to choose"

"I trust your taste but well I like soft colours like sky blue, or maybe green"

"wow, you look really nice, I like that" he said as he point his finger at the little top

"Oh do you?" she teased "But Nick, you sure I look ok?"

"You look great"

"It's just I wanna cause a good impression"

"Don't worry, you will, but let's get going or we will be late"

"Ok" Linda grabbed her jean jacket and they both left the house.
