To my loyal readers. Thank you! This chapter is mostly story telling as Noella's adventures near their end. I hope you enjoy it!
Noella didn't crawl out from under the bed covers until after twelve feeling both tired and sad. She was disappointed that things hadn't worked out with Josh the way she wanted.
Don't get depressed! Move on! You never know wants around the corner!
Still she found it hard to get going, never the less she was standing in the foyer of her house at five to four checking herself in the mirror, ready to go to Prue's for cocktails. She had chosen an outfit she had bought on her big shopping blitz. A short little black dress with high neckline but a plunging back which was outlined with pearls along with pearl features on the shoulders and at the bottom of the rear plunge. She wore an elegant pair of black filagreed heels and a Dior clutch which set things off beautifully.
Happy with that! Let's have some fun! I need fun!
She waltzed around to Prue's at number four and met Stephanie and Jeanette coming up the path. Steph looking sweet in a blue off the shoulder mini-dress with three quarter sleeves and cream and gold diamond patterned platform heels, a bottle of Butter Scotch Schnapps in her hand. Jeanette sizzled in a minute skin tight dress with black plunging bodice, deep blue skirt body and lace up back. Her feet sported the obligatory towering black stilettos. Her bottle was Jaegermeister complimented by some cans of Red Bull.
"You both look amazing!" she excalimed.
"So do you!" replied Stephanie.
"Yes. You look hot as always Noella" agreed Jeanette.
They stood on the pathway exchanging kisses before going inside, as Prue opened the door sporting a slim fitting mid length black dress with a black sheer over the deep V neckline . More kisses ensued as they entered the living room, Julia having arrived earlier wearing a sexy azure blue Lurex dress with deep a deep cut revealing back.
As the din from the exchange of greetings subsided, Prue made an announcement.
"Thank you for coming today. I must say you all look magnificent today and I you'd like to put your bottle on the bench and we'll get underway with our little cocktail party today, but first there is someone I would like you to meet. Everyone, I'd like you to meet Jorge. Jorge would you like to come out now?"
The ladies could hear some footsteps coming from the guest room and through the door appeared Jorge.
"Ladies this is Jorge."
Jeanette and squealed as a large man wearing only a thong with a little apron over and a bow tie entered the room.
"My God Prue what have you done?" gasped Noella.
Julia just laughed as Jorge walked across the room giving each of the ladies a kiss on the cheek as he went, his huge and ripped muscles glistening from oil. He bore a chiselled chin and his blonde hair tousled on his shoulders.
"Now ladies there are some rules. Jorge is our barman and eye candy for the day, but it is strictly look but don't touch." Prue told them. "Are you listening Jeanette."
"I hear you Prue." replied Jeanette in a disappointed voice. "Can't I have just one little butt squeeze?"
"Jeanette!" barked Prue in her best mother's voice.
"Alright. I'll behave." she said reluctantly.
"Good. So Jorge is going to make us some classic cocktails and then he'll make whatever you like."
Jorge whizzed into action and before long the ladies were drinking their choice of Brandy Alexanders, Daiquiri, Margaritas and of course Cosmopolitans.
"Now ladies, it's time for a little fun." Prue told the ladies, being unusually assertive. "Bring your drinks over to the lounge and I'll explain what we're going to do."
They all sat around on Prue's large U shaped leather couch which had a low white marble coffee table in the centre.
"We're going to play a little party game." she advised them as she placed a pile of little envelopes on the coffee table. "The game is called 'Drink If'."
"Oh no!" groaned Noella. " You're having a drinking game!"
""Oh yes!" laughed Jeanette.
"What happened to the real Prue?" asked Julia.
"Don't worry it will be fun! I've got some envelopes here. When the card inside is read out and you think it applies you have to have sip. You don't have to skull because we want you to be able to walk home! But a good sip and Jorge will keep 'em coming! Won't you Jorge?"
"Yes Ma'am!"
"And he'll make whatever you want. Won't you Jorge!"
"Yes Ma'am!"
"He's so cute Prue. Are you sure I can't take him home?" persisted Jeanette.
"Jeanette!"
"I guess that's a no."
