*Butterflies* Chapter 71

@ THE WEDDING RECEPTION
>>The Abbott Estate


Sierra: ((tapping me on the shoulder)) Hey you, Miss Belle of the ball.
CC: ((gasps)) Sierra! ((hug)) When did you get here? - I didn’t get to see you at the wedding. You missed the bride and groom’s first dance and the cutting of the cake and everything.
Sierra: I’m sorry. I’m really sorry I missed it, I truly am. - Hon, you look fabulous. You’re like the prettiest bride’s made out here.
CC: You think? I mean look at all those stick figure models. Like, ew! Put some meat on your bones.
Sierra: Ugh, I know…
CC: So what happened to you? I was getting worried. We were supposed to ride over to the church together, remember?
Sierra: Yeah, I know… My plans changed kind of suddenly. - It’s just we got tied up in traffic on our way over to the church and…
CC: Hold on a second. ‘We’? - Like as in you and who else?
Sierra: ((clears throat)) We kinda got lost looking for the church and…
CC: -Now I know you’re lying… Sierra, you and I have been going to St. Ann’s church since like we were 3; we were christened in that church for Pete’s sake. There’s something you’re not telling me.
Sierra: Alright, alright. ((sigh)) Stephen picked me up.
CC: You’re kidding me.
Sierra: It was kind of the spur of the moment thing. He was driving by my house and saw me getting ready to leave to come to your house. We started talking and then he offered to take me to your house and then I said, “Sure!” and then when we were on our way over to your house… I so forgot to call you. But we were in the middle of traffic, we stopped at a red light on 23rd and Falcon Ave. and then something happened. He touched my hand we looked at each other ((squeals)) and we started kissing; one thing kinda leads to another… Next thing you know we’re parked in the back of an empty grocery store parking lot getting it on.
CC: ((gasps)) Sierra Louise Hoffman, you didn’t just say that? Did you get in trouble or what?
Sierra: Fortunately no. But it was so all worth the danger, you know? …Yeah we did it… ((gleaming))
CC: Is that why you look like a 100-watt bulb? Are you sure you… made the right decision?
Sierra: ((takes out her compact and fixes her hair)) Sorry for the messy hair. Before you know it, we lost track of time. When we rushed over to the church, it was empty. So I figure the reception was going on… So, here we are… What? Aren’t you happy for me?
CC: …Are you happy? I mean, how do you feel?
Sierra: Of course I am. I’m fine. I’m wonderful… ((sigh)) Colleen, I think I’m falling in love with him.
CC: Seriously? - I’m happy for you.
Sierra: Thank you Colleen, that means so much to me… ((they hug))
CC: So where’s the lucky guy at anyway?
Sierra: I think I saw him talking with Daniel and JT over there, by the punch bowl.
CC: I have to ask one more thing.
Sierra: Sure.
CC: Was he a total gentleman?
Sierra: …Totally. Like now I know what all the big fuss is about, If you know what I mean. ((giggles))
CC: Oh, yeah. Sure I do.
Sierra: Not to be off topic or anything, but how did it go with Mac?
CC: What do you mean? You weren’t even at the wedding?
Sierra: I heard from somebody that you two were talking to one another, and no claws came out.
CC: JT told you didn’t he? - I’m gonna ring his little neck. ((sigh)) Look, it was no big deal. I thought, since this was a day to put the focus on Lauren and Michael’s matrimonial union, I’d try to be a good girl for a few hours until the wedding was over. That’s it.
Sierra: I know you Colleen. Ever since what went down between JT and Mac a few months ago, the two of you have been at each other’s throats. And on top of that she’s with Kevin now, the guy who almost killed you. Doesn’t that say something?
Colleen: Okay, I’m gonna tell you what I told my mom. I’ve forgiven Kevin, but I haven’t forgotten what he tried to do to Lily and me. That’s something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. And as for Mac, she sure has bad taste in men, when it comes to Kevin at least. I’m not perfect but who goes out with a sick and twisted pyromaniac?
Sierra: Freddy Kruger or the Devil…
CC: Okay. But they’re like fictional characters, does that count?
Sierra: Yeah. ((giggles)) - You know what? I’ve just noticed something different about you.
CC: What?
Sierra: You’re not wearing you’re pendant? Don’t you usually wear it like all the time?
CC: ((gasps)) - ((she clutches her neck)) Oh, no. Sierra, I was wearing it today. Cause I remember putting it on this morning and I was definitely wearing it at the wedding. ((she pannicks))
Sierra: Are you sure?
CC: Of course I’m sure. ((panting))
Sierra: Okay. Calm down Colleen. Where was the last time you noticed you still had it on?
CC: I don’t know. I was all over the place talking to a bunch of people. And then I was playing with Kyle and Abby for a while inside the house. And then I came back out here and ran into you.
Sierra: Uh oh!
CC: ‘Uh oh!’ is right… Shh! Don’t make JT notice anything’s wrong. Just help me look for it.
Sierra: Okay, Where do you want me to start looking?
CC: Um… you can ((points)) go start over there by the pool house and then work your way over by the buffet table. I’ll go inside and look around. It can’t be too far around here. And then meet me back here by the angel ice sculptures in 10.
Sierra: Okay. - ((she turns around)) Uh oh, boyfriend at 3 o’clock coming this way.
CC: Damn it.
Sierra: What are we gonna do?
CC: Shh, shh… Just be cool. Don’t play with your hair, they you you’re lying when you play with your hair.
Sierra: Alright, I’ll try.
CC: ((sigh)) Maybe he won’t notice it’s missing. ((she pushes her hair in front of her to camouflage her neck))




JT: Don’t worry guys. This is all in good fun. ((he turns around and notices Colleen acting strange)) Did you see that?
Stephen: See what?
JT: Colleen over there with Sierra, she’s acting a little funny, like something is the matter.
Daniel: You wanna go over and see what’s up?
JT: ((observing her frantic behavior)) …Yeah. She’s getting me a little worried. ((They walk over to the girls))

CC: Hey guys…
Stephen: Hi Colleen. ((xox))
Sierra: Hey…
JT: Sierra, I’m glad you could come. I didn’t see you at the church earlier. What happened?
Stephen: - Ah, you know, like I said there was a big, big semi truck accident on highway 46. We were stuck for hours. It was a disaster.
Sierra: Uh, yeah… It was a pretty bad accident. I think it was some kind of oil spill and it made a mess of the highway… ((grinning)) Yeah, really bad
JT: Really?
Daniel: Really?
CC: Yeah, really? ((looking at Sierra))
JT: How come you didn’t you use your cell phones? Or did you forget them? Did your battery die on you?
Stephen: Who are you, her father?
JT: No. I was just saying…
CC: Hey! Hey! Guys chill out alright? - And why is everyone looking so weird to one another?
Daniel: It’s nothing.
JT: Yeah, nothing… ((sips his champagne)) Where’s ‘firefly’ anyway? Shouldn’t he be out here, cutting a rug on the dance floor? ((chuckles))
Stephen: Who?
CC: He means Kevin. - I don’t know where he is, and I don’t care.
Daniel: When I came in, I saw him talking to somebody. I don’t know, they sorta looked pretty intense…
Sierra: Okay, then why do you look bothered by it?
Daniel: I don’t know. Like it looked like he was talking to that person all serious and junk, like he had something up his sleeve.
JT: He was probably planning his next bar mitzvah. That’ll make him about 80 in dog-years right? ((chuckles)) - Don’t worry about it. He better not forget somebody’s always watching him 24/7.
Daniel: Yeah, you’re right…. Forget it… ((sigh)) I’m gonna go find my mom, I need to talk to her about something. I’ll catch you guys later.
JT: See ya.
CC: Later.
Stephen: Later man.
Daniel: ((he exits from the group))
JT: I think that Gabriel chick was really digging him…
CC: JT you have to stop this.
JT: No I want to do this. It’s the least I can do for Daniel.
CC: I know but you’re smothering him. I think you need to give him some space.
Sierra: Yeah, I think so too.
JT: What do you mean ‘space’?
CC: You know, the distance between you and me that kinda ‘space’.
JT: You think I’m a moron don’t you?
CC: If you dance with me I won’t think you’re a moron. ((smiling))
JT: Is that an invitation?
CC: That’s the only invitation you’re gonna get.
JT: Oh, so I guess I have no other choices then do I? ((chuckles))
CC: ((she shakes her head)) Come on. ((takes his hand)) I’ll lead this time.
JT; See ya guys. I’ve got a date with destiny. ((he puts down his champagne glass))
Sierra: Don’t do anything I would do.
JT: I’ll remember that.
CC: ((she signals Sierra to go search for the pendant))

Don't you just envy me right now?
