Always For Keeps ( For Keeps part 2)

Twenty two. Scarlett

I wait on the balcony for them to finish getting ready. Warm arms wrap around my waist.
"Ready, baby?" Cooper asks.
"Yes." I say and turn around. He's wearing a black button up with gray pants. The dark color of his shirt brings out his eyes. "You look nice." I smile at him.
"Thank you." He pulls me back inside just as Luke comes out of the bedroom. He's wearing navy slacks with a white button up shirt.
"You look nice, too." I say to Luke.
"Thanks, babe." He smiles and kisses my cheek.

We all walk to the car together. Brady is already in the driver's seat waiting.
"Are you sure I should come?" Cooper asks as he opens the door for me.
"Of course." I grab his hand as he sits next to me.
"Yeah man, it'll be fun." Luke says grabbing my other hand.

We drive out to the venue that's right on the river. A beautiful building next to the river for the reception, is lined with white lights. I can't wait to see it at night.
We get out of the car and spot some of the wedding party. Kare and Brett greet the three of us.
"Are you so excited?" I jump up and down with Kare.
"Yes!" She squeals.
The wedding planner, Celia, directs everyone to their places. Cooper sits on a chair to watch.
The girls all line up at the end of the aisle, while the guys take their places at the alter.
Hope goes first. She laughs and throws flowers down the walkway. Rebecca, Ivy, CeCe, Emily, Brett sisters and Kare's high school best friend, Melissa go next, followed by Paisley, who literally came out of nowhere. She kisses Kare and my cheeks before she runs to catch up.
I look over and watch Cam take a seat near Cooper. They exchange hellos briefly.
"Now you, Scarlett." Celia tells me. I walk carefully down the aisle and smile at Cam and Cooper on the way there. I look forward and smile at Brett before my face falls on Luke. He smiles and winks at me, but it's hard to pull my eyes from him. I could trip and fall flat on my face, but I don't even care. I take my place next to Paisley and finally break my gaze from Luke to watch Kare come down the aisle. It's just rehearsal but Paisley nudges my shoulder as both of us cry.
"You're such girls." Luke whispers behind Brett. Paisley and I giggle as I flip him off. He scoffs and pretends to be offended.
Brett and Kare run through everything as my eyes drift back and forth between Cooper and Luke.

After rehearsal we all head to the chosen restaurant.
"That went well." Luke says.
"Yeah. I can't wait until tomorrow. Although I might need a box of tissues." I laugh.
"You're such a girl." Luke teases.
"Well I do have a vagina and feelings." I laugh.
"Yes you do." Cooper laughs.
"Prove it." Luke nudges.
"Haha!" I say and roll my eyes. "You'd like that."
"I think we both would." Cooper laughs.
"Well you've both seen it plenty of times. Just close your eyes and try not to think about it." I laugh.
"Fuck." Luke shakes his head and looks out the window.

The rest of the ride, nobody talks about my lady parts. Instead they make plans for Luke meeting us in France. I laugh at them and they just smile.

Dinner is a blast. Having pretty much everyone I love in one room makes my insanely happy. I catch Cam even smiling as he and Cooper discuss the Yankees and the Giants, something I never thought I would see.
After dinner, Brett's mom takes Hope home and the rest of us go out for a drink.
"Are you sure you're up for it?" Cooper asks as we head to the bar.
"Yes. I'll be fine." I smile warmly at him.

We get there and grab a couple tables. I order wine, Cooper a beer, and Luke some water.
"I don't want to push it." He smiles and kisses my forehead.
"That's okay." I hug him.

I head to the bathroom with Kare and Paisley.
"So what's going on with Cooper and Luke?" Paisley asks as she washes her hands.
"They are best buds." I laugh.
"So who are you with?" She smiles.
"That's a loaded question." Kare laughs as she comes out of a stall.
"Uh oh." Paisley laughs.
"They are convinced that they can both love me so I don't have to pick." I shake my head.
"What's so bad about that?" Paisley laughs.
"They are both crazy jealous. It's only a matter of time before they duke it out."
"My money is on Cooper." Paisley whispers loudly to Kare and they both laugh.
"I don't want that to happen." I pout.
"Well look at it this way," Paisley grabs my hands. "They both love you. You love both of them. You will always have them in your corner no matter what." She grins. "So what? You get some mind blowing sex from two of the hottest guys ever? Man, that's rough." She laughs.
"Much like the sex she will be having." Karianne teases.
"Horn dogs!" I laugh along with them. "I need it soon. I'm going crazy!"
"Like, which one would you pick first?" Kare smirks.
"Oh they already Rock Paper Scissored it. It's Luke."
"Hot!" Paisley says.
We laugh together as we head back out to the bar.
We sit back at the table and resume our night.
"We should have a sleepover!" Paisley claps her hands together.
"What?"
"Huh?"
"A what?"
We laugh as the guys look at us completely unamused.
"Well, Brett and Kare can't see each other. So we should all split up. Boys and girls." Paisley shrugs.
I have to laugh as Cam, Cooper, and Luke all shake their heads.
"Oh it's only like eight hours! Cam I'm sure Paisley will make it up to you tomorrow." I tease.
"What about us?" Cooper puts an arm around Luke's shoulders.
"Yeah. What about us?" Luke smirks.
"I'm sure I can think of something." I laugh.
"Dirty!" Paisley laughs. "So where are we going?" She smiles excitedly.
"Why don't we all just go to the apartments? Boys at Luke's, girls at our place." Kare suggests.
"Can we have a sexy naked pillow fight?" I wink.
"What kind of sleepover would it be without one?" Kare grins.
"This is going to suck." Brett laughs.
"There better be some good pictures." Cam says kissing Paisley.
I look up as Cooper and Luke exchange concerned whispers. I can practically read their minds.
"I'll be fine." I say and I take each of their hands. "I promise. Besides, you'll be super close to me." I smile.
"But how do we sleep without you?" Cooper pouts.
"Well you still have each other." I laugh.
"Cooper isn't as pretty as you." Luke jets out his bottom lip and I'm tempted to bite it softly, but I don't.
"I think you'll survive one night." I tease.
"Well rich boy, keep your light saber to yourself." Luke says and we all laugh.

The seven of us, head to the apartments in three different cars. Brady drops us off and we head inside. I run to Luke's with the guys to grab some things, change into a t and shorts, and grab my dress that's hanging in the closet.
I look at my makeup and then back to the guys.
"Could you guys carry this down for me." I ask sweetly.
"Anything for you." Cooper smiles. Paisley comes in and laughs.
"Lingerie only!" She giggles as Cam throws her over his shoulder and smacks her ass before they leave the apartment.
I head to the bedroom and look through my things. I decide on a two piece red lace number I like.
Cooper and Luke stare at me before tackling me on the bed. I squeal and laugh.
"No other guy better see you in that." Cooper says kissing my neck.
"Oh you mean besides the two of you?" I emphasize two.
"Yes. Besides us." Luke says kissing the other side of my neck.
"Guys." I breathe. I try to focus on something other than the way my skin tingles under their lips, but fail miserably. A moan escapes and they both still on my skin. Luke pulls my mouth to his and I hesitate briefly, but as Cooper kisses down my neck without pause, I'm a goner. "Fuck it." I breathe as I kiss Luke. I don't have too much time to worry about Cooper because they switch. I briefly smile against Cooper's lips before resume kissing him. Luke's hand rubs against my bare thigh and I moan into Cooper's mouth.
A threesome has never appealed to me, but as this second, I could totally be down.
All too quickly, a knock at the front door brings me back to reality and I jump up quickly from the bed trying to catch my breath.
"See, nobody is jealous." Cooper smiles.
"We can totally do this." Luke says.
"I'm leaving." I shake my head, but smile. "Thanks for that." I smirk as I flash them quickly then bow.
They both laugh as they hurry off the bed and follow after me.
I answer the door for Brett and Cam as Cooper and Luke carry my makeup behind me.
"Have fun, boys." I pat their chests as I walk past.
Kare lets us in and they set the makeup down in the hall.
"Thank you. Love you." I kiss them both quickly as Kare and Paisley suppress grins behind the guys.
"Love you." They both say.

"Spill!" Kare laughs after the guys leave.
"I just made out with both of them!" I laugh and cover my face.
"Did they kiss each other?" Paisley wiggles her eye brows.
"No!" I laugh. "Just me." I sigh.
"This is crazy!" Kare laughs. "And insanely hot. Can I have a quickie with Brett just super fast?" She says standing.
"No!" Paisley and I laugh.

We all change into our lingerie, Kare wears a pink teddy, Paisley wears a purple lace bra and matching boy shorts, and I wear the red lace one.
We laugh as we all take selfies to snap our guys.
Cooper and Luke Snap me back a picture of them without shirts and I have to screen shot it and show it to Paisley and Kare.
"Your vagina is going to be so sore!" Paisley laughs.
"I'm nervous to sleep with them!" I laugh. "It's all super weird."
"It's like a dream come true." Paisley giggles.
"I want details when it goes down." Kare giggles.
"Pregnancy really has made you horny!" I laugh. "I remember when I was pregnant with Asher, I couldn't keep my hands off Coop." I smile and they both smile back, but it's sad. "None of that. I'm okay. Really." I say as they hug me. I try to push away the most recent loss. "Coop wants to have a baby." I laugh. "How weird would that be?"
"Maybe not that weird." Kare shrugs. "Whose do you think-" she starts but doesn't finish.
"We talked about it, honestly as horrible as it sounds, it could have been either. The weird thing is," I sigh, "they were both really sweet about it. Cooper actually said it wouldn't have mattered because they both would have loved it." I shrug and wipe a stubborn tear from my cheek. Paisley and Kare wrap me in a tight hug and I have to laugh. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to make this night about me. Or make it sad."
"That's what we are here for." Kare says wiping away her own tear.
"Yes. You're the glue that holds us all together. We love you." Paisley says.
"Thanks you guys. I love you." I smile.
"Maybe you and Paisley should get pregnant at the same time. It would be adorable!" Kare laughs.
"Oh God. Cam and I aren't there yet." She laugh. "Although..." She grins. "He told me he loved me today!" We all ooh and aww. "I'm so excited! He ugh-" she clears her throat, "he asked if I would ever be interested in moving to New York."
"What!"
"Really?"
"What do I do?" She asks.
"You do it!" I say. "Paisley you have always felt like you didn't belong here! Go!"
"Yes, you deserve happiness and I think you and Cam will last." Kare smiles.
"I hope so guys." She grabs her phone and texts. "I just told him I would do it!" We all squeal and jump up and down.

As couple hours later we all curl up in bed and I snap a picture to all our guys that says "goodnight boys".
They all reply goodnight.
Cam is on the couch, Brett is in the spare room, Luke is on the bedroom floor and Cooper is on the bed.
We all fall asleep pretty quickly and as I close my eyes, my lips and neck tingle as I think of Luke and Cooper.
I fall asleep and green and grey eyes haunt my dreams.
