Now, yours truly was so excited that I was already dressed by 5PM. I was scheduled to drive to Giant's house and if all went to plan, we should all be in the city by 7:30 the latest. Well, IF was the operative word here, and as you can guess, nothing went according to plan. By the time I'd reached Giant's house, the only thing that was ready was Giant's hair. Everything went downhill from there.
Crystal Blue & her sister needed to get their hair & make up done and asked none other than Giant and Lanky (Giant's sister) to do it for them. By the time they were all done, it was 8:45. 8:45 and we were still nowhere near the damn city. My blood was slowly boiling, and was perhaps on the verge of evaporating. Little did I know that poor Giant & Lanky were really upset too. Looks like the three of us are really good at hiding certain feelings. We didn't even leave the house until 9:00 and Mr Red & Nomad had both called and said they were outside the club. I had to buy us some time and told them both that we'd be there soon. Ten minutes later, both decided to bail, and quite honestly, I couldn't blame them. I'd specifically told them we'd be there like two hours earlier. I wasn't sure who to blame - Crystal Blue or Giant....the odds were against Crystal Blue at this point.
We finally reached the city by 9:30 and after finding some parking (thanks to Lanky's great eye), we were at the club by 10:10. We were waiting outside and getting ready to flash our ID to the bouncers when Giant's brother Giraffe approached us and said they wouldn't let him in the club. The fact the poor guy's name somehow didn't make the guest list didn't do him any favours either. Giant calmed him down and told him that once we were all in, she'd come back out and speak with the bouncers. As soon as we got in, the two fake bitches at the front desk informed us that the guest list closes at 10 and we were all up for a $20 fee. Fecking great we all thought. Not wanting to delay our celebrations further or let two bitches and fecked up bouncers ruin the night for us, we paid and didn't even argue. It took Giant & I another 30 minutes to convince the bouncers to let Giraffe in. The short bald maggot said: "I don't care how how you girls are, you're not bringing him in here, so don't cause a scene". All I remember saying was "If he isn't let in, you won't have a scene, you'll have a musical." That line, thankfully, worked.
Now, everyone was inside and drinks were going round in our private booth. Alcohol is definitely my best friend. Giant's ex boyfriend, Mechanic, was present and like any other guy, he was out there flirting and socialising. The one thing I'd noticed was that Crystal Blue was following him around. Both Giant & I were keeping a close eye on them both, and from what we both saw, Crystal Blue was the predator. I can honestly say that I'd never seen any guy look as comfortable as Mechanic had looked that night. The last thing any guy needs is his ex girlfriend's best friend trying to play follow the leader especially when the ex is around. It was at this point that I slowly began to lose it, but I had to keep it all in so that Giant's big night wasn't entirely ruined.
Fast forward to 2am, and after the bouncers had escorted everyone outside after closing time, Mechanic recommended going to one of the city's famous areas, The Cross. We all headed to our cars and Crystal Blue, who knows that I get car sick if I sit at the back, wanted to sit at the front because her "feet were killing" her. I told her it was fine, but Giant shot her a look that could literally kill. I got over it pretty quickly, and I think she should thank her lucky stars because I didn't get sick. Maybe it was because I didn't want to puke all over Giant's back seat after she'd had her car detailed.
After a long and confusing evening, we all made it back to Giant's place in on e piece and crashed at 5am. Ah, it was awesome. Crystal Blue and her sister both left the following day on their scheduled flight at about 6pm. For the first time in 10 years, I was relieved to see the back of Crystal Blue because she'd crossed so many lines and in so many ways. Somehow, I knew that what had transpired that evening would cause a bit of tension between Crystal Blue and Giant. What I also knew was that I would be the unfortunate sap who's caught in the middle....
