I could tell by the look on Shane’s face that he was stunned and could not speak. After a minute went by without anyone saying anything Ruby screamed at Shane and I "One of you better start explaining what the hell this situation I just walked in to is! Tell me right now or so help me things are going to get ugly real fast. And neither of you are going to like what happens next!"I was thinking, sure Ruby play big and bad with your small ass rat looking face. Honestly if it was up to me, I would tell Ruby right here and now why Shane was really here. "Oh yes Ruby we have been in a secret relationship since before you gave birth to your first child. And yes, I have known about you and Shane long before you even got pregnant skank! And he is here for our weekly date night in which we will eat, talk, and then screw each other’s brains out with the most amazing sex in the universe, since he cannot get it from you since you are so vanilla and such a prude."But alas I could not. I promised Shane, I would not tell her about us. I may be a lot of things, but a promise breaker is not one of them. Especially when it comes to Shane. And besides now that I started my plan to take Ruby down, I am so looking forward to sitting back and watching all the chaos unfold.I sighed gave a hard look to Shane than turned to Ruby" Cousin chill the hell out will you! You are acting like Shane, and I are conspiring to commit murder or something!" Ruby glared at me. "Calm down, what the hell do you mean calm down? First off, I did not even realize the two of you even knew each other. When the fuck did that even happen? And second off I cannot even think of a good enough reason Shane would be here in your home unless something is going on with the two of you behind my back!"All the while Shane is still shocked and has not said anything, all of a sudden he snaps out of it clears his throat and looks innocently at Ruby" Hon it is not like that we are just friends that is all honestly!" I rolled my eyes behind Ruby’s back and then winked at Shane. I could not help it naughty is my middle name after all. Okay my middle name is Nicole, but that is besides the point!Ruby sneered and roughly threw her words at Shane." If that is true, why are you having dinner together just the two of you in HER house? It is such an intimate setting. And if the two of you are such good friends why did neither one of you ever mention it to me. I can see why Emma might not have; she had no idea who I was dating but you could have told Emma. For all I know you did, and she has known this whole time!"I walked over to Shane "Look you should just tell her I do not know what the big idea is any way. And I do not think it will hurt her feelings it may even seem like an awesome idea to her. Come on give my cousin Ruby some credit." Shane looked back at me with a confused expression on his face. “Shane? What is Emma talking about? What are the two of you not telling me? You both know you can tell me anything. I really need you to make me understand what is going on between the two of you." Ruby sniffed with tears in her eyes.I sighed than said "Since Shane seems to be having a hard time finding his words to confess to you, I will just tell you myself than." Shane suddenly had a terrified look upon his face as I continued to explain. "You see I am not sure if you know how hard it is for Shane to write down his feelings, let alone express them the way he means to face to face with someone. Shane really wanted to surprise you by being able to say the perfect things and to speak from the bottom of his heart. As soon as Shane found out you were my cousin, he came to me to ask for my help writing his wedding vows."Ruby stood there with her mouth agape as Shane’s face softened and his lips curved upwards." And to answer your other questions I have known Shane since high school. It was not until both of you told me, on the same day at that, that you guys were getting married that both Shane and I realized my cousin and his soon to be wife were one in the same person! That is when Shane asked if I could help him with his vows. Especially since I have a master’s degree in arts and Literature plus you know I am great with words and feelings as the both of you have said after reading some of my writing. Does that answer all of your questions?"What happened next, I did not expect. Ruby walked over to me, gave me a teary-eyed grin and wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me deeply. Shane stared at me his eyes bulging out of there sockets. Apparently almost just as shocked as me or worried I would hit her or strangle her. Probably the latter.Ruby pulled away looked me dead in the eyes and said with so much admiration "Emma my dear, dear cousin. I am so sorry for jumping to conclusions without stopping to think about my actions first. You are definitely a saint. What you are doing for Shane, doing for me, doing for us it is the most wonderful wedding present I could ever hope for. I am so grateful my mother made me ask you to be my maid of honor. I am very grateful you said yes. And above all else I am grateful for what you are doing here for my soon to be husband."Ruby let go of me, thankfully before I did something that would ruin all of my plans, and she turned to Shane with a huge watery grin on her face "And you where do I even start. Wanting our wedding to be so perfect for me makes me one hundred percent sure me asking you to marry me and nagging you for the last two and a half years until you said yes, it was totally worth every second of it. I am going to go now so the two of you can get down to business, so you can be completely ready for our wedding in two days’ time. I already checked into my hotel and my mother has the kids, she will bring them to the wedding. So, I guess this is the last time I will be seeing you until then. Also, Emma, I will see you tomorrow at eight p.m. I cannot wait to see what you girls came up with! Thank you again Emma dear." Ruby gave Shane a kiss, which almost had me seeing red before she made her way out of my house.A few minutes later Shane and I were alone in the kitchen. Shane let out a low whistle "Babe that was so fucking amazing how you pulled that story out of thin air like that. I almost started to believe it myself, and I know it was a load of bull shit." I laughed and shook my head "I am always prepared for the worst-case scenario, and I always have some form of a backup plan! But seriously though, admit it you were sweating your ass off for there for a minute thinking I was going to spill everything you were scared shitless. Do not worry I would not do that especially not tonight otherwise I could not give you dessert." He responded by sticking his tongue out at me. An invitation if I ever saw one.Current Location: My bedroomI raised my lashes and stared intently at Shane’s pondering eyes. I wondered what was going on in his beautiful mind "Baby what are you contemplating about? I can see the gears behind your eyes grinding against each other!" Shane chuckled and said "I was just thinking about how you used my wedding vows as an excuse, but I realized I really do not know what to say to Ruby. What do you say to a woman you are only marrying because of the kids you share? This is so frustrating, maybe babe you really could help me write them."In an instant I was out of bed chucking his clothes and shoes at him. One of his shoes hit and bounced off the top of his head. " What the fuck babe? It was just a question, not even that just an idea! If you do not want to help me with writing my vows than just say so! You do not have to toss my shit at me!""Shane Donaldson, you are a completely unbelievable asshole! It is hard enough that I have to stand by her side and watch the two of
Current Location: In Kyles car"Emma I am so glad to be working with you again, and by what Lucas said it is going to be so much more fun this time!" Kyle said with a toothy grin. I returned the smile" That is correct. Your job this time around will be following my cousin Ruby, sabotaging her and planting evidence against her. But the first thing you are going to do is follow me to the party venue tonight you will be taking some pretty incriminating photos of both Ruby and her brother Derek!""Lucas was right this is going to be so freaking fun!" I nodded opened the car door and stepped out. Before walking away, I turned and said, "Just remember you are not to be seen!" Kyle smiled and nodded. "Oh, wait Kyle one other thing I need you to figure out a way to prevent Shelly from coming to the Bachelorette party tonight by any means necessary. But she needs to show up for the wedding tomorrow understood?" Kyle responded with" darn so no messing her up. Of course, consider it done!"A few
Current Location: Cheap thrills Party inc.I was standing outside the building waiting for Mrs. Spooner to bring around the party bus when a text came through from Kyle. "Hey boss lady I am across the parking lot, and I have eyes on you. Do not worry I will stay in the shadows. Also, I took care of Shelly. I sent her dad an anonymous text from a burner phone saying I had his teenage daughter and will only give her back if Shelly was there. Then as soon as Shelly got word and left her house to go to her dads, she stopped at a gas station and went inside. I than took her phone from the car so her dad cannot warn her when Shelly’s sister comes back and finds out she is completely fine, and the text was only a prank."Brilliant job Kyle! Just remember when I give you the signal it is time for your photography skills." I sent the message and I heard three short car honks in concession. Conformation from Kyle that he understands.At that moment Ruby and Dede both pulled into the parking lot
Current Location: Cheap Thrills Party Bus"So Emma since you saw the list do you know where we are heading now?" Dede asked me curiously. "Wait you do not know? Shelly said you worked with her to make the list. I did see the list, but I only glanced it. I believe we are going for dinner before going to a club to finish off the night. I am just not sure which restaurant or which club." I said knowing Shelly said no such thing.Dede was speechless at first than said to Ruby" what the hell is going on with Shelly, Ruby? First all these crazy arrangements for your Bachelorette party. Then she lies to Emma and says I helped her come up with the festivities for tonight! Which for the record I had nothing to do with." "I know you did not. I saw the shock on both of your faces. Shelly has a lot of explaining to do." Ruby said confidentiality."Maybe Shelly is interested in Shane and she is trying to ruin your happiness." Derek suggested. Well, he is not far off except he is wrong about the gir
Current Location: The Whip and Chain.Leaving the driver and Mrs. Spooner on the bus, we walked into the Whip and Chain. I could see the chagrin on Ruby’s face. Ruby was utterly disgusted by this choice of venue. It made me extremely happy deep inside!Why would Shelly do this? Is she trying to get back at me for something I did? I cannot imagine what though." Ruby mumbled to herself. "Look, it may not be what you imagined for your Bachelorette party, but we are here so let us make the best of things." Derek smiled gently at Ruby.I turned to Ruby." How about we do this. I will go grab everyone’s drinks. And before you go and try making requests, I am choosing the drinks for everyone tonight. Ruby it is your party, and you can cry if you want to. But you are going to have fun even if it kills you." Derek screamed " Hell yeah cousin! That is what I am talking about. Someone making my dear sister climb out of her shell."I smiled than turned around and headed for the bar. After ordering
Current Location: My bed around four o'clock in the morningI was jolted out of a deep sleep by the constant ringing of my cell phone. I rubbed my eyes trying to get my bearings. My phone stopped ringing, so I was planning on going back to sleep. But withing about five seconds it was jingling again. I reach for my phone and unsurprisingly I see that it was Ruby calling. I expected this now that the drugs have worn off, I knew she would be panicking.I answered the phone with a huge yawn " Ruby do you have any idea what time it is? First you ditch me last night now you are calling me so damn early in the morning!" Ruby broke out in hysterics." I ditched you. Did I ditch Dede as well? She has not been answering my calls either. I have been trying to get through to you and Dede for the last thirty minutes. I was about to give up. Anyway, none of that is important you can catch me up on all of that later. I have a favor to ask can you please come back to this nightmarish club and pick me u
Current Location: Wedding venue bridal parties dressing roomRuby was already here when I walked in. "Hey Ruby, how are you feeling after your, um, Bachelorette party?" Ruby rolled her eyes "Happy it is over but thankful for you. I think without you everything would be ruined. I am so happy you are my maid of honor. Shall we start getting dressed. I noticed our dress bags all have our names on them."I was having a tough time holding back the excitement inside me. Ruby is already pissed at Shelly. Now Ruby is going to hate Dede as well. This was a complete disaster no bride would ever want to go through, and one Ruby could never had anticipated.Ruby pulled down the zipper on her garment bag and was utterly shocked to see, not the beige dress she wanted, but a lime green dress that was two sizes too big. It looked like baby poop it was so ugly. I approached my dress bag and unzipped it. It was purple and very poofy with a lot of lace it looked like a fancy tablecloth, and it was a siz
Current Location: Wedding venue the alter"I am so sorry Ruby! I only said Emma’s name because she helped me write my vows. As I was saying them, I was thinking how thankful I am to her." Ruby let out a huge sigh of relief "I understand Emma has helped me out a lot in the last three days as well. Emma from Shane and I we are truly grateful for you." Well, that was anti-climactic. At least that means everything I have done up to this point was not for nothing.The minister got to the I dos than he said, "You may kiss the bride." Just like that Shane was a married man and I was now a mistress at least until the shit hits the fan Shane gets the pictures and divorces Ruby.The wedding party went back to our respective rooms to change into our outfits for the reception which will be held at the Cheap Thrills Party inc. ballroom. Ruby was on cloud nine. I could not wait for that cloud to open up and pour down. The shit show that was coming to her over the next ten days will be epic.We arriv
