“She hasn’t even watched Fifty Shades Of Grey or read the book so I think she’s probably not sure what she has to find exactly.” Callie explained.
“Oh no,” Olivia groaned.
That was advantageous to our team. I just hoped Vanessa wasn’t as clueless as Ruth.
“Uh… I hope I have the right things.” We heard Vanessa’s voice.
“Yeah, you do have the right things!” Amelia confirmed after going through the items.
“So team A wins!”
We cheered at our win. Ruth looked at her teammates sheepishly.
Amelia, out if nowhere, pulled out a life-sized picture of Ryan Gosling and set it firmly against the wall.
“What is this?” Eliza questioned.
“Well, I know how much Brooke adores this guy. He’s like her celebrity crush. So we’re going to play a little game of Kiss The Lips. Okay, so who’d like to go first?” Amelia asked.
“The bride!” Everyone said in unison.
Brooke got up and put on red lipstick after which Amelia blindfolded her.
She approached the picture and put her hands out to touch it. She pressed her lips and we all craned our necks to look where the lipstick mark had landed. Brooke was pretty tall so she had kissed half his nose and half his cheek. She removed her blindfold and pouted.
The next to go was Claire. She ended up kissing his chin.
Then Vanessa went up and she kissed him right on the lips. She was the first one to do so.
This was a pretty fun game and I couldn’t wait for my chance.
The other went up one by one. Out of Zara, Pipa, Ruth, Eliza and Callie, only Ruth and Callie were able to kiss the lips. Zara kissed his forehead. She was the tallest out of all the girls and if she had stood to her full height, I was pretty sure she would’ve ended up kissing his hair.
“Sometimes I hate that I’m tall,” Zara grumbled as she walked back to her seat.
Pipa was able to kiss a little of the lips but mostly the cheek. Eliza pressed her lips just above his lips.
Then it was finally my turn. I picked a shade of dark pink for my lipstick as many of the previous girls had chosen different shades of red.
Amelia blindfolded me and I walked towards the poster. After thinking a little about where the lips might be located, I finally pressed my lips to it.
I immediately took off the blindfold and to my disappointment, I had kissed him right below his lips.
The next were Olivia, Heather, Amelia, Ashley and then Rachael. Olivia, Amelia, Ashley and Rachael managed to capture the lips perfectly. Only Heather didn’t as her lips ended up at his eyes. She must have thought she was really short so she reached up way more than was required.
“This was so fun. I’m going to keep this picture with me.” Brooke said. “Thanks everyone who put efforts into making my bachelorette party so memorable. ”
“Why are you thanking us for that? It’s your last, well second last day as an unmarried woman so of course you deserve a great bachelorette party,” Heather said, putting an arm around her and Brooke beamed at her.
“So what do we do next, Amelia?” Pipa piped in.
“We get to quote a line from a movie and the others should guess which movie that line is from! The one who answers first most number of times will get a gift.”
“I want to go first!” Callie burst out as soon as Amelia finished talking. We looked at her and then chuckled at her enthusiasm. Looked like she was a movie maniac.
“Okay,” Amelia said and handed her a hairbrush to act as a mic.
Callie took the hairbrush mic. “Okay,” she said.
We waited for her to say the dialogue. Half a minute passed by.
“Tell us the dialogue,” Vanessa said.
“Okay,” Callie said and we concentrated for when she’d tell us the line.
Another half a minute passed by.
“What’re you doing? Why aren’t you telling us the dialogue?” Ruth asked.
“You dummies, the dialogue is ‘okay’,” Callie said.
Oh.
“The Fault In Our Stars!” Brooke answered first followed by others who said the same. It was too easy.
“Correct!” Callie said and passed on the mic to an eager Rachael.
“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
“The Godfather,” Olivia was the first to answer.
After that, Olivia was given the mic. She took a few seconds to decide on a dialogue and finally said, “I am big! It’s the picture that got small.”
Yup. We were all thinking up old movie dialogues.
“I know which movie this is but I don’t remember the title,” Claire groaned.
“I’m hearing this dialogue for the first time,” Eliza said. “And the first three words totally made me think about something I’m pretty sure is nowhere related to what it actually means.”
“I don’t understand. What did you think of?” Ruth asked innocently.
Eliza shook her head and caressed her head. “You innocent one.”
“Sunset Boulevard!” Ashley shouted and startled us with her outburst.
“Correct,” Olivia said and passed the mic to her.
“I see dead people,” Ashley said.
“The Eye,” Ruth said just as Ashley finished quoting the dialogue.
“Wrong.”
“What? Isn’t it a story about a girl who can see dead people? Oh, wait, no. She sees the people who are about to die. Right. Sorry,” Zara said in realization.
“The Sixth Sense,” Brooke said after a minute.
“Correct.”
Brooke didn’t want to say the next dialogue so Pipa took the mic. “I’m not much into movies so it’ll be very easy for you guys.”
“Okay, bring it on,” Amelia encouraged.
“Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that face,” Pipa said.
“The Dark Knight,” Brooke said first. I had a feeling everyone was not telling the answers quickly purposefully so that Brooke could win.
“Correct. Told y’all it would be easy.”
The game continued on for about thirty more movie dialogues. In the end, Brooke was declared the winner as she got the most dialogues right and my suspicions were confirmed that it was all planned to let the soon-to-be bride win. We had a lot of fun. We played more games like Ring Toss, Prosecco Pong, Lingerie Shower Bingo and The Bride Quiz.
The last one was hard for me. I was questioned about how much I knew about the bride, which wasn’t much. I think Brooke got suspicious of me because of this game. I wasn’t able to answer most of the questions about her which Juliet apparently knew. Brooke kept eyeing me for the rest of the night and I was uncomfortable because of that.
After all of these games and clicking a few dozens of pictures with the bride in a photo booth which was set up by the resort for us who also provided us with a photographer, we partied a bit with everyone getting drunk but within their capacity. Everyone especially paid attention to Brooke so that she didn’t drink past her limit. A wedding with a hangover would not go well.
The next day, we had a spa appointment. We spent the entire morning after breakfast getting massages, manicures and pedicures, skin and hair care routine.
Finally, we decided to leave after lunch. Brooke liked what we did for her and she couldn’t stop gushing about how much fun she had with us.
She had planned on spending the rest of the day with her family. We reached her mansion around five in the evening and she personally said her goodbyes to everyone.
When she came to me, she said something that left me stunned in my seat. “Goodbye, Julie. I’ll see you at my wedding.”
And with a smirk directed at me, she exited the bus.
Amelia chuckled from beside me. “She knows. She asked Heather and I about why you couldn’t answer questions related to her last night and we had no choice but to tell her.”
“Oh, I assume she won’t tell anyone.” I asked hopefully, not entirely sure.
“Of course, she wouldn’t. She promised us.”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
