"Attention!" Leon calls out throughout the large banquet room. We are standing in front of the large crowd, our arms around each other. "Many of you are probably wondering what this party was for exactly, probably even more curious now because I'm speaking. But tonight's party is very special, to me and Bianca here. We'd both like to announce our engagement. We are to be wed at the end of March." After he finished there was a loud applause through the room. Leon and I both smiled as we started to walk through the crowd. Well tried to walk through the crowd. We get stopped by almost everyone, them congratulating the both of us.
"Man you didn't tell me you were engaged!" A guy, around Leon's age stops the both of us. Leon unwraps his arm from around me and does a little bro hug with the guy. He pulls away and puts his arm back around my waist. "Oh I'm Grayson Black." He isn't a bad looking guy either. His light brown hair is spiked up in the front with gel, a stubble tha
First night in the new home was, okay. He brought his bed from his loft and placed it in the room across from 'ours'. That's where I slept last night while he slept on his own bed. It's Christmas day. We are going to my parents house this morning and having a brunch there with my family. After that we are going to his parent's house for a Christmas dinner. I got the presents for my family yesterday and he got the presents for his. We just wrote both of our names on them, isn't that what couples do? "Are you ready?" He asks standing in the doorway of our bathroom. I look at him through the mirror and raise an eyebrow. I only have one eye done make up wise. My hair is done but my dress is hanging up on a hook. "Does it look like it?" I snap back, he should know I'm pissed at him. When I said it was an okay first night, I lied. It was awful. Leon is a fucking dick and I really don't want to marry him. Last night was Christmas Eve and he said that he goes out par
Brunch was fun. I got to talk to my cousin, Victor, who is my age. He is Uncle Peter's kid. My mom also has a brother and a sister but they stay live in Colorado, that's where she's from. My dad and Uncle were talking a lot of business, which I hate, with Leon. Uncle Peter actually didn't want to run my dad's business because he wanted to start up his own law firm. It's one of the top in the country. My mom talked to Aunt Teresa and grandma. Grandpa was talking with Blake, about him stepping up to run the business soon. My youngest cousin, Lily was listening to her mom talk. Lily is only eight but she tries to act like an adult. She was a whoopsie baby, but we don't love her any less. I was only sixteen at the time, same as Victor. Aunt Teresa was thirty-nine when Lily was born, making Uncle Peter forty-four. "Presents!" Lily squeals as we all finish our meals. I smile as I chase her into our living room. The large Christmas tree is sitting in the corner lit up with white li
"Tequila?" Kay asks and I nod my head. "Another scotch for you?" Tessa nods her head as Kay gets up from the table. "Be back in a sec." "She is super cool," Tessa says and I smile. "You two are very similar," I tell her, "maybe it's because you are both twenty-two." "So Leon is out tonight as well?" She asks and I nod, "probably doing what he did the other night, oh I'm sorry. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut." "No you are fine," I shrug, "he probably is, that's why I'm here." "I could tell Uncle Liam," she says and I shake my head. "Leon would hate me more than he does," I tell her, "I have to spend the rest of my life with him, unfortunately." "You're lucky he is hot," Kay says setting three glasses on the table. Tequila for myself, a scotch for Tessa, and a combo of alcohols for herself. She always tells the bartenders to put three drinks together and she always drinks them
"Grayson," I say as I shake his shoulders. He groans in his sleep before letting out another snore. "Grayson wake up. I made food." That didn't wake him up either so I went to the kitchen and grabbed a pot and a wooden spoon. I went right next to the couch and banged them together. He jumped up, his eyes wide and alert, while his hand went to his head. "I'm hammered," he mutters as he sits back down. "I'm hungover too, but I'm still going on with my day," I tell him, "I made breakfast. Eggs, bacon, and hash browns." Grayson smiles and heads right to the dining room. I roll my eyes before I head to the kitchen to put the pot and spoon away. I go to the dining room to see Grayson already devouring the food. My foot taps as I raise an eyebrow at him, he just offers me a sheepish grin. "It's really good." "I like to cook," I smile as I sit across from him, "see you didn't notice the Advil I left out for you." "Oh
One month laterLife is going. That's all I can say to describe it. Two more months until I marry a man whore. One more month until my birthday. One more week until we make final calls for the wedding. One more hour until I have my wedding dress fitting. I still don't have one but I really don't care at this point. For most girls a wedding is what they dreamed of. To have the perfect dress and the perfect man. I did dream of it, I'm not going to lie, but I'm not marrying the perfect man. So why get excited about finding the perfect dress when he won't care.Kay, mom, Mrs. Bailey and Tessa are coming. Tessa managed to convince her parents to stay in New York, I helped a little. I offered her a position at my office. Mom says she may be getting her an agent soon to become a model. I invited Grayson, you always need the gay/bi guy friend when you pick out your dress. Except the boys planned their tuxedo fittings today as well."Let's go wife-to-be!
Tessa and Kay stayed at my house once my mom and Mrs. Bailey dropped us off. Mrs. Bailey wanted to say hi to her son but guess who wasn't home. I'm so shocked. Grayson is coming over, said Leon is actually at his office this time, he was with Leon when they went. Tessa was all for it that he was coming over. They've known each other longer than any of us because of Leon. Personally, by the way Tessa acts, I think she likes Grayson. They would be the cutest couple ever. Plus they'd make some cute looking babies. "Can we make a pizza or something?" Kay complains as the lays upside down on the couch. "Grayson is bringing us pizza," I roll my eyes at my impatient friend, "he should be here in like five minutes." "That's too long," Kay groans and throws the couch pillow at me, "I can eat a whole pizza in five minutes!" "Then you puke," I tell her, "I'm not dealing with that again." "She ate a whole pizza in five minute
"Eggplant colored dresses right?" Kay asks as I sit in the waiting room. We are back at the same store we were at yesterday to find bridesmaids dresses. "I'd prefer that yes," I grin as I pull out my phone, "don't disappoint me.""We will!" Quinn smiles as she follows back a sales lady. I wait while I play on my phone. Each of them is going to pick out a dress then I chose my favorite. Or I'll let them all get the dress they chose. I haven't actually decided yet. They are wearing the purple dresses, matchings the groomsmen, and their flowers are going to be a navy and a little bit of gold. I just wanted some colors that I thought would look pretty, I didn't really take any suggestions from others. "You all look great!" I smile as they all come out in their chosen dresses. Some are long and the others short. Each of the dresses fits their personality and it makes me realize that I want them to wear the dress that they chose. It's
It has been a week since I chose my dress for the wedding. Today we are all at my house, meaning Leon, my parents, his parents, all the bridesmaids, all the groomsmen, and my grandparents, deciding all the final decision for the wedding. My grandparents, really my grandma, insisted that they come over to make everyone snacks. My grandma just dragged grandpa along without giving him a choice. I'm glad they are here, grandpa isn't afraid to speak up if he knows I don't like something, I don't like speaking up against people often. "Cake is-" mom starts but I cut her off. "It is a four layered cake, squares," I tell her, "each layer is different. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and marble." "Buttercream frosting," Leon says as my mom is writing everything down. I look up at Leon with a confused look. He told me I could decide everything, I wasn't wanting buttercream, I wanted whipped frosting. "Red wine for the wedding party t
