One More for the Planning Party

Regina dressed in her usual jeans, t-shirt and sneakers hopped into the backseat of Robin's SUV. Though she could easily ride the front or even drive, she liked to seat in the back. Mark often made fun of her this, saying this was why she was still a kid. However Regina just liked to be chauffeured around like a VIP. Ashley drove while Robin took the shotgun spot. Robin was dressed in one of Ashley's sheathed dressed that was a bit too tight on her, but she had the body for it and in the end made her look younger. If she had been in her normal mental state she would never worn it though.

"You ladies have ideas on a venue?" Regina asked as Ashley backed the SUV out the driveway.

"No, this was your idea. Why would we know where to go?" Ashley remarked.

"OKay...you're going to be no help...I'm just going to have you shut it," Regina replied and Ashley's face went blank as she drove. "Mother?"

"How are you going to pay for this?" Robin asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Weddings cost a lot of money. You do know me and your father don't have enough for a big one."

"Ugh..." Regina groaned.

"It's usually the bride's family that takes care of things," Robin said. "We should bring someone for her side of the family in on this."

Regina thought for a moment. Both of Katie's parents were working, her mother at the fire house and she had no idea where her father would be. "I think they're both working..."

"Well...Ashley and I were suppose to be working...and here we are," Robin pointed out.

"Point," Regina nodded. "Gloria, she doesn't work. To Katie's house Ashley!"

Five minutes later, Ashley pulled into Katie's father house. She parked behind a Lexus, that Regina did not recognize and figured it was Gloria's car. From what she learned from Katie, her father Charles had married Gloria pretty quickly after his divorce was finalized. No one was able to come to wedding as Gloria wanted it out in the Caribbean. When they got back she left her job and simply just stays home now. Robin climbed out and opened the door for Regina. "I'll be right back!" she said before she skipped up to towards the front the door.

Gloria Hayes-Lawrence answered the door and was puzzled to fine Regina smiling at her. "Whoa you're a MILF!" she said by greeting. Gloria had her blonde hair pulled up in a loose bun. Her face was lightly made-up. Since she had hit her fifties she found that she always had to be made up even with the work she had done to her face and body, her age still showed and it annoyed her. She was in tight fitting worn jeans, they were for younger woman but she liked them for that fact and she did have the hips and legs for them. Her top half was clad in baby doll t-shirt that clung to her surgically enhanced breasts.

"Excuse me?" Gloria frowned.

"What?"

"I'm not interested..." Gloria shook her head and was about to close the door.

"Wait, I'm Regina Donovan, Mark's sister, my mother and older sister," Regina quickly introduce and then gestured over her shoulder where Ashley and Robin waved.

"Oh, Regina Donovan...the soccer player..." Gloria said with smile. "You know I have a nephew that's into soccer..." She added as her eyes looked over Regina. "I hear you have a shot at the national team...does that pay a lot?"

Regina shrugged, "Probably not...I may make some money when I go pro though."

"Interesting..." Gloria thought. "What brings you here?"

"Wedding plans. Mark and Katie's wedding. I'm planning it. I hear that the bride's family well finance."

Gloria laughed. "Well that's true...but I'm not her family like that. Charles...has his money invested in other things...like me!"

Regina looked at the older woman and cringed. "Gross..."

"Kidding! I'm kidding!" Gloria easily said chuckling nudging Regina on the shoulder. "In all seriousness, this is probably something that has be between Andrea and Charles. You should talk to them when they're free."

"No, I think you're going to help out with this. You, your fake tits and your check book..."

Gloria gasped, "Excuse me?!"

"You heard me," Regina replied and narrowed her eyes. Katie and Mark never told but she got the impression that they both did not like Gloria and now she saw why. Thankfully Gloria had been frozen by Mark before so her mind was putty for Regina.

Gloria's face went blank, the anger faded from it like a switch had been turned off. "I will help...I will pay for everything..." the blonde said monotone.

"That's more like it," Regina nodded. She then looked Gloria over. She looked great what was in but Regina wanted to be the only in jeans for this expedition. "Let's get you into something nicer..."

It was nearly thirty minutes later before Regina returned with Gloria in tow. The blond now in sun dress that showed off her stacked chest and toned legs. Robin open the rear door and Regina climbed in followed by a blank face but smiling Gloria. Once they were seated and Robin was back in Regina asked, "Where to?"

"We have to pick the venue first..." Gloria replied. "First the locations, then the food. If we're lucky the locations may offer some catering services so we can knock that out. Photographer and music is next..."

"Whoa, you know what you're doing," Regina said.

"She's probably be married like six times," Robin said.

"I've been married only three times thank you," Gloria shot.

"That's not a flex..." Ashley said as she started to back the SUV out.

"Okay, okay! Enough!" Regina interjected before things got catty. "Do you have any locations in mind Gloria?"

"Of course I do, I've done this several times."

"I thought you only been married three times?" Ashley asked.

"I'm a part-time wedding planner."

"Regina! Why are we even here you could have just gotten her!" Robin shot.

"Hey I didn't know! This is family thing...I really don't want to be by myself with Gloria...she's like a stranger...." Regina added sliding a little further from the older woman.

"Oh my God, Mark was right, you are a child!" Ashley shot.
