The Bride's First Dance
By The_Shadow_Rising
The dimming light over Shorehaven was picturesque as the sun settled into the west making silhouettes of the buildings and casting long shadows behind the people in the streets. The warmth of the day was dying down but the heat of the night was just about to begin, with many already in the throes of passion and others unknowingly on their way there.
The gleaming sun shone its last rays through the window where Alexia Morgan stood in front of her full length mirror. The mirror gleamed in the room's light, casting back the beautiful blonde's reflection as she zipped up the front of her dress and straightened it around her slender waist, twisting back and forth to check that it looked just right.
The garment hung on her like on a sexy angel, stopping mid-thigh and diving just enough to flash a hot amount of cleavage. More so if you stood above her. It clung to her slim waist and 34E tits beautifully and showed off her smooth, long legs to perfection. Her long, blonde hair hung to the bottom of her shoulder blades, falling delicately over her slender shoulders, framing her graceful neck and accenting her voluptuous cleavage impeccably. Her large, sapphire blue eyes shone with the excitement of the night ahead, matched only by the glinting of the diamond engagement ring on her left hand. Her succulent lips were painted a soft pink colour to match the pastel colour of the dress she wore, and her eyeshadow complimented both.
In short, she looked stunning. And she knew it. Smiling at herself in the mirror she nodded.
"You'll do, Miss Morgan." She said before holding up her engagement ring and grinning to herself. A rapid flash of love and thrilled excitement shot through her at the thought of being engaged to her true love, Taylor Reed. "Soon to be Mrs Reed."
And it was soon too. Just a week to go until she was walking down the aisle to Taylor and saying 'I do'. She couldn't wait. He was the love of her life and she was so over excited to marry him. He was the same with her, saying what a catch he had with her -- being so kind, intelligent, beautiful, and hot -- and she with him. God how she thought she was lucky to be with him! He was incredible. The most thoughtful and sweet of men who also happened to be drop dead gorgeous!
Excitedly she wrapped her right hand around her left's fingers and almost bounced on her toes. She couldn't wait!
Calming herself down, Alexia took one more look at herself before she turned around and began to pack things into her little clutch bag -- make up for when she would need to touch herself up, her phone, her keys, and other essentials went in before she zipped it up and held it in her hand.
Tonight would be warm enough so she wouldn't need a coat. But she would need shoes, she thought suddenly. She had picked them out earlier to go with the dress but she had almost forgotten them. She was just too excited about the night ahead. Sitting on the edge of the large king-size bed she slipped the white heeled shoes on and stood back up, reclaiming her bag.
Now she was ready. Tonight was going to be one to remember.
How did she know that? Well tonight was her bachelorette party. And Taylor's bachelor party. And Alexia's best friend Amy was in charge of the night. And that woman was crazy. Things would likely be over the top and a lot of fun. She just hoped that she didn't get too drunk, but if Amy had her way Alexia was going to be legless at the end of the night. It was ok for Taylor, he was having his bachelor party here at the house. But Alexia's was out somewhere she knew not where, only Amy and the girls knew, so she had to get home. Taylor would probably be in bed by the time Amy let her go! But if there was one thing that Alexia's best friend did well, it was nights out. And with it being her bachelorette party she knew it was going to end up being one for the history books.
Feeling her stomach flutter at the excitement of the night ahead, Alexia walked out of the room, switching the light off as she went. Walking down the long hallway -- her and Taylor lived in a house that was all on one floor -- Alexia heard voices long before she saw anyone.
"It's going to be a fun night, just you wait and see!" Came the familiar voice of her fiancé's best friend.
"Not too good a night, I hope. I know what you mean by that." Responded her fiancé good humouredly.
"It's your bachelor party. It's supposed to be wild." Taylor's best friend jibed then laughed softly -- she could just imagine him holding up his hands defensively. "But I remember you have a bride-to-be. Who could forget! But that doesn't mean the rest of us can't have some fun. Some of us are still single. And you can have some fun too, just not as much as the rest of us."
It was at that moment that Alexia walked in to the view of the lounge. Taylor and his best friend, Jesse Knowles, were standing by the small half-wall that divided the open plan lounge from the hallway. Taylor was leaning one hand on the low wall and Jesse was standing in front of him.
They couldn't have been more different. Taylor stood shorter than his friend but still slightly taller than average. With his attractive, shapely features, short dark brown hair, strong build and grey-blue eyes, he was the picture of handsome. Jesse on the other hand was taller, and had very short brown hair, with steely strong brown eyes that often set women's spine's tingling -- from his reputation. He was leaner than Taylor and had well-cut features that hinted at some Latino past in his family. He was very attractive and out-going. Flirty. And had a reputation as being a lady killer. A kind of guy who looked for notches on his bedpost and kept trophies of his conquests. But he was a nice guy and a good friend. Even so he had a reputation for causing trouble. In a fun way, but still a troublemaker.
It was Jesse who spotted her first and his eyes went wide and very interested.
"And here she is, the lady of the hour!" He announced and Taylor turned to look at her.
The moment her fiancé's eyes fell on her Alexia could feel her heart beat faster. She smiled and looked up at them both -- they towered over her -- as she came to stand on the other side of the small wall.
"Looking beautiful as always." Taylor said as he smiled back at her.
Alexia gave a grateful abashed look at the floor before she looked back at them both.
"You don't look so bad yourselves. Planning some mischief for tonight while I'm gone, are we?" She said amusedly and Jesse grinned as he hooked his thumbs through his jeans' belt holes.
Taylor gave Jesse a glance and then looked back to her.
"Nothing too bad. Jesse has my back tonight." He replied lovingly.
Alexia nodded as if she didn't believe them, or that Jesse having his back was as bad as him trying to cause trouble in the first place.
"Well, you boys have fun." She responded.
"Oh, we will. You can guarantee that I, at least, won't forget tonight in a hurry!" Jesse replied with a grin.
"I never said I wouldn't have a great time. Just that, knowing you, you'll do something over the top. Or something that would get me in trouble." Taylor said humorously.
"He's got you there, Jesse." Alexia jumped in and Jesse looked between the two of them with the most innocently shocked face that Alexia couldn't help but laugh.
Taylor took the momentary weakness in his friend's bravado to turn back towards Alexia.
"You look stunning as always, babe." He said with a warm smile, "Looking forward to your night out?"
Glancing down at herself Alexia looked up at the two of them again.
"Can't wait. It's going to be a night to remember. If Amy has anything to do with it, anyway." She replied.
Taylor was about to say something else, as he opened his mouth, when suddenly the phone rang.
"Hold that thought. I'll be right back." He said before he walked back into the kitchen.
Jesse watched him walk through the door before he turned back towards her. This time his eyes travelled up her body before settling on her face.
"You really are looking good, Lex." He said as he walked closer to the wall.
Alexia smiled again pleasantly.
"Thank you." She replied.
"I would go with a little lower zip though..." Jesse began as he reached for the zip on the front of her dress and gently began pulling it down.
Alexia laughed softly and slapped his hand away, pulling the zipper back up. Jesse just grinned at her. He was always like this.
"You would. But I have a fiancé, thanks, I don't need guys to drool all over my cleavage." She replied as she settled her hands on the wall again.
"But what a cleavage to drool all over." Jesse responded, his eyes dipping to take in the voluptuous amount of cleavage that her dress still offered.
"You would say that. Horn dog." She joked.
"I always do." He replied humorously. And he was right. He did always say things about her tits when he was around her. She was used to him by now and his playful ways. She just brushed him off good-naturedly and carried on. "Seriously though, why are you with Tay when you could be with me?" He asked as he came around to place his arm around her shoulder, his hand hanging dangerously close to cupping one of her tits.
"Because I love him, remember?" She replied as she looked up at him with an amused smile.
Her hand instantly went to grab his as she felt him move towards her chest and she caught his hand before he could do more than move an inch. Unfolding his arm from around her she shook her head playfully.
"Are you never going to learn?" She asked him amusedly.
"Not until I've had you." He replied with a cheeky grin and tapped her chin playfully.
"I figured you'd never learn." She responded.
"How about a hug, at least?" He asked with that shit-eating grin on his face.
Alexia felt a surge of amusement race through her at the same time she felt a little flattered. He was complimenting her. Even if he was a horn dog for every woman he met. He was still an attractive guy with a reputation. And that flattered her.
"How about you wait for tonight? I assume you have strippers coming." She said knowingly and Jesse gave her a look as if she had read his mind.
"How did you...." He began but was cut off as Taylor walked back into the room.
Alexia just laughed to herself softly at the surprised expression on his face. He really was predictable, and yet he thought he was so mysterious.
"That was Bran, he's on his way with the guys." Taylor announced to them both as he walked into the room.
