Arriving at the doors to the hall, Célia taps a code against the door and both wings open at the same time in front of me.

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! they all shout at once.

I do a theatrical curtsy à la Katnyss Everdeen*, which makes everyone laugh, and Dereck is the first to come out to meet me.

- If you only knew how much I'd like to do to you right now... he says after kissing me.

- I've got an idea...

Then James approaches.

- You're lucky it's crowded... he says, full of innuendo.

- Lucky? Are you sure?

He laughs and kisses me, then takes my hand and, seeing his signet ring, places a kiss on it.

Stepping out of our bubble, I notice a lot of questioning glances and back-and-forth between Dereck and James, but I take it in my stride and do as James told me earlier in the evening: I assume and I don't care.

Godfather and Lily take their turn in wishing me a happy birthday, followed by my parents, whom I sti

  • Inevitable   51. Wishes

    My godfather hands me my bouquet, then his arm. I hold on tightly and hear the first notes of my music. I start singing, the curtains open in front of us during the chorus, and I see my fiancé, still surprised to hear me. And even more so live, I think.I walk forward with my godfather to the rhythm of the music and I see him melt as I walk. The three boys behind him and my sisters are like fountains, smiling, laughing, and crying all at once.My godfather kisses me on the forehead and, after letting go, I take James’s hand, finishing the song right in front of him. I barely have time to put down the microphone before he grabs my face with both hands to kiss me.Télia quickly comes over to free me from the microphone and my bouquet.The mayor gives his traditional speech and asks for our mutual consent, then asks if anyone objects to our marri

  • Inevitable   50. Preparation

    Télia returns a few minutes later with the professional. She makes me a low bohemian chignon of braids and curls, into which she adds little flowers. She finishes after a couple of hours and leaves me to the make-up artist, whom I ask to do a soft make-up in shades of golden pink.Then I put on the flower crown earrings Dereck gave me for my birthday. Celia unties my ballerina and I panic.- Hey, what are you doing?" I catch her, putting my hand on the necklace.- I was just trying to help you," she says in surprise.- I don't want to take it off.- But darling, weren't you planning to wear this one?" my mother exclaims, presenting me with a double necklace I bought because it goes well with my earrings.- Yes, but I'm not taking this one off," I say, hanging up my ballerina.- B

  • Inevitable   49 . Noisy alarm clock

    As is often the case after a torrid night, I wake up with my fiancé in my arms, sleeping with his head on my chest and his arms wrapped around me, keeping me prisoner of all movement, our legs intertwined.I have no desire to wake him up, even though I know the day is about to get off to a flying start, and I'd like to stay like this forever in our bubble of peace and love, where it's just the two of us. But that's without counting the knock on the door.I growl and pull the comforter down over my darling's back, as if that would protect him from the moment when our bubble bursts, and I royally ignore whoever is disturbing us.It strikes a second time, then my phone rings.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Sister :Get up, bitch!

    - What's the matter with you two?" Dereck asks as we enter.He had the decency to ask in a low voice, just in case.- Yes, yes," replies James. We're just having a bit of trouble realizing...- That you're getting married tomorrow?- No, that's fine," I say, pulling myself together. Do you remember the talk the four of us had last week?" I say, pulling him aside.- Yeah...James pulls out the paper that was still in his pocket.- This is what your father transferred to our account," James whispers.- Oh goddess! Can I make a claim to be the one to marry you tomorrow?" he teases with laughing eyes.- Alpha or not, you deserve a good thrashing," growls James, pulling me close to him.Dereck's laughing his ass of

  • Inevitable   47. Bachelorette party

    The girls organized my bachelorette party on the sly and came banging on my bedroom door at 6:30 Thursday morning. Meanwhile, James was being kidnapped by the boys on the practice field, with the complicity of his students.They disguised me as a penguin! I'll get my revenge when it's their turn, that's for sure. They made me dance in the town square and drink so much - so much, in fact - that I ended up running all over town in my penguin disguise, looking for my fiancé, stopping to kiss people as I went by, then setting off again screaming his name, the girls on my heels, laughing their heads off. But they had planned it well, because I never found him.Then they made me do an obstacle course with my bulky costume, so I had to wallow more than once, cursing my sisters. They continued to make me drink and ask me questions, having previously tied me to a chair in front of a camera. They're going to reveal t

    - Good, you're here," says Dereck, placing a stack of papers on the table.- What's all this?" I ask curiously.- The papers for the manor," he replies with a smile. We all have to sign them.- Even me?" I asked, unsure.- Of course!" reply the boys in unison. We're living this adventure together," adds Dereck, holding out his little finger.We're all sticking with it, and that's doing me a world of good. Dereck hands out the documents and we pass them back and forth between us, initialing and signing. Suddenly, I freeze.- Wait a minute, this is a sales contract," I exclaim.- Of course it is," says James, beginning to smile.The other two boys do the same.- What did you think we were signing?" asks Dereck.
