The Islands in the Bay – Chapter (145) Halloween Treat

 


After finishing their wine they walked up to Philips Folly still wearing their Witches outfits, and the moment the door opened and the two witches walked in, wearing long black cloaks, floppy witch’s hats, white striped socks and black high-heeled ankle boots, and there was a roar of approval.

When they reached the bar, they found Geoff Melling and Brian Baker ordering drinks.

“Aren’t there supposed to be three witches in a coven?” Brian queried

“Be careful or with a wave of a hand we could shrivel your extremities” Zoey said

“We had better buy you both a drink then” Geoff said

 

In the hours following their meeting at the bar the four of them had a great evening, drinking and laughing, but the evening ended in an alcoholic haze in the early hours on the doorstep of Zoey’s home.

Zoey wrapped her arms around Brian’s neck and slurred

“Trick or treat”

“Treat” he replied “But not tonight”

“So to be perfectly clear, you don’t want to kiss me?” Zoey asked

“I do want to kiss you” Brian said

“But I want us both to be sober”

“When will that be?” she slurred

“Tomorrow” he replied

“Promise?” she asked

“Promise” he replied and kissed the top of her head

Just at that moment Geoff and Marion staggered towards them holding each other upright

“Am I going to get a treat?” Marion asked

“Yes, but not until tomorrow” Brian replied

“I don’t want a treat from you” she said trying to focus on him with one eye shut.

“I know, you want Geoff”

“I do”

“Good choice” Zoey responded     

“A very good choice” Geoff agreed

Brian watched Zoey steer Marion through the front door then he turned towards Geoff and said

“You come along with me”

“Where did the girls go?” Geoff asked looking around

“They went inside” Brian replied

“Shame”

“Don’t worry we’ll see them again tomorrow”

Brian said

“Cool” Geoff retorted

 

At Beth Brine’s house in St Pierre on Halloween, they didn’t eat the snacks or watch any movies, they did however drink the wine and hid from the trick or treaters in her bed.
