Caribbean Shower: the tale of the neon underwear

"Careless whisper", originally done by George Michael, had been revived a dozen of times by different artist. There were several versions of the songs that I sometimes found appalling. But from now on, whenever I hear that song, I kept seeing a neon underwear dancing under a dim light.

It was my so-called "best friend since high school" shower party. I was helping her with her wedding. A friend of ours from high school suggested that we will have a shower party. Give her one last singlet's party before tying the knot with her super jealous boyfriend. I don't know, we were never really close.

We planned to have an overnight stay at a local resort called the Caribbean, where they have pools and slides. We wanna take a dip. I have not swam for a while. Ms. F came a little early to decorate the room with her current "boyfriend" and her son with elongated balloons that shaped like a dick for some reason to commemorate the shower. She also added some ribbons for effect.

I took Ms. Peanut with me. we were still working with the tags for her wedding favors. I was not really up to my fullest interest with the shower. But I think It was up to us to brighten the mood for the party. Ms. F and I talked things over while we were at the pool. We wanted to know if the groom will somehow pop-up during the party. We are mulling things over if we are to get a stripper for her. That's a requirement for a bridal shower right? But the thing was, we were lacking money. A few of the bride's friends arrived and I went to ask if they were planning something for the bride. I should have known, there were there for the food and to be entertained. I suggested that if they agree that we will get a stripper for her, well just have to chip-in some cash enough to pay for the stripper. But in the later end, I end up paying almost half the fee. Some had excuses not to pay.

We dimmed the lights, no, the stripper came out from the bathroom, we didn't have the time to dim the lights. he danced to the tune of careless whisper.Everybody except me screamed. ( I had my share of scream the first time I watched a stripper thanks to my friend. At least that stripper was easy on the eyes, this one, was no where near that.) Every body in the room were first timers except me and Ms. F cheated and went with her boyfriend and her son outside the room.

The stripper suggested that we dim the lights. Of course, with all the commotion, we forgot to dim the lights. He went to the bathroom to strip his jacket. (whats with this amateur strippers!!! The concept was to strip in front of us for entertainment and not inside the bathroom.) He went out and started to dance in the tune of "Insomnia" He was now bare chested (as if.. he got no abs, goodness, was this the best we could find??) Then he started to feel himself which is very eerie. He went back again to the bathroom to strip his pants. With all the lights off except at the bathroom, which was left ajar to emit some light, he stepped out in his underwear and to our shock, he was wearing a neon brief. Not the tight fitting brief with a one and a half garter that carried the name of the brand, he was wearing this ridiculous garterized brief that was quite loose and whenever he feels himself, he keeps exposing his scrotum. Sometimes he pulls it down just to show the crack of his butt while dancing in the tune of "womanizer". He asked if we could tip him and pin the bills in his underwear. The neon underwear that he was wearing. We could barely see him in the lights for his skin tone was dark. All you can see in the dark was the underwear glowing while dancing all around. He danced again to the tune of careless whisper. All i can see was the underwear floating from one place to another. I didn't give any tip. I was not satisfied with the dance. I don't care if he has a quota. The dance was only for 30 minutes since that's the length of time we can afford then we went back to the slides and the pool. It was a 30 gruesome minutes but all for the entertainment of the bride

Wait, back flash.. before the the stripper. Since I was wet, I swam before the bride arrived, I asked her if she can keep my phone for a while since I was wet. In the end she forgot that she had my phone, went to the bathroom, dunked the phone at the water closet while changing to her swimsuit. I end up loosing my phone that night.

I really want to go home that night especially I spend a big amount of cash for no reason. I was bankrupt. But I cant. We spend the rest of the night videoke. I didn't get to sleep, and I went home at dawn. It was not a very fruitful night. Plus my mind was forever stamped with the neon underwear that dance to the tune of careless whisper.
