I wonder how much longer I would have to keep smiling at a lot of unfamiliar faces. Well.. what can I say, Alice knows a lot of people that knows a lot of people.
"I have to say Juliet, your cake taste really lovely. Do you mind baking one for my niece's birthday." A woman who I don't even know. As a matter of fact, I just met her... Said to me. I just met this woman like about a minute ago and I'm already getting weary of her. What can I say... I'm not a people person. I love just being on my own. I can't even remember the woman's name.
I put on a fake smile and said in the nicest way ever. "That would be a pleasure ma'am, here is my card. You can call me."
Now, at this very moment I was about making my big escape when the disturbing, irritating woman spoke again. Argh.
"You know, the decor of the reception is really beautiful and elegant. But my own daughter's wedding reception would be more beautiful and elegant than this." Oh Jesus Christ!. First of all it was her niece, now is her daughter.
I really do not know what Is wrong with this woman. I thought people come to wedding to witness the true love between two people. To witness the joining of two lover's. But no, I think this woman only came to stare at the decor and the cake of course.
She probably wants to know what's trending, so.. she could make her daughter's wedding much more better. Ugh, she makes me sick.
"And of course you would also take care of her cake." She added... Ugh, someone stopped this woman from talking. God, don't you have a remote that you could use in muting her.
At that moment, my prayer was answered in the form of Mr Green eyes. Yup, the guy with the hard wall-like body.
"Hi beautiful, have been searching for you. Where have you been, and how could you just leave me all by myself. That's not fair you know." Mr green eyes said all at once.
Okay... What's going on. First he called me beautiful, which I'm not. I am hideous!.
Secondly, did he just say he has been searching for me. Why in the world would he be searching for me?.. I don't get it.
Thirdly, did he just said that I left him all by himself. I have come to the conclusion that Mr green eyes here, must have had a lot of drink. And that is why he is talking like a drunkard. You are so correct juliet.
"Is he your boyfriend miss juliet?." The irritating woman asked. Ugh.. why is she poking into my business.
"No."
"Yes." I and green eyes said at the same time. And ofcourse, I was the one who said no.
The woman looked at the both of us confused, "Uhm which one is it?."
"Actually she's my girlfriend. She's only mad at me and that's why she said no. We will both take our leave now." Green eyes said sharply, then held my hand and dragged me away. But before leaving I heard the woman mutter, "How could she possibly be mad at him. She's supposed to be grateful that he is dating a fat ugly lady like her."
Normally I should have been sad by her comments, but nothing can get through my thick skin now.
"Okay... What is the meaning of what you just did." I whispered yelled in green eyes face, once we were currently far away from the irritating woman.
"This was not the thank you I was expecting, but well.. I would take it." He said chivalrously, then gave a slight bow.
"Excuse me.. but are we actually speaking the same language right now, cause I do not know what you mean by the word *thank you* What should I thank you for exactly?." I glared at him fiercely.
"Well... For saving you from the lady earlier. I could see that you weren't in the least interested in whatever gibberish she was saying."
I rolled my eyes, "so what are you now? My savior. Oh no, my angel or are you my hero?." I asked him, my words laced with sarcasm.
"Wow, she's full of sarcasms. I see. Well... I guess I shouldn't be expecting that *thank you* right?." He says emphasizing on the word thank you, his ears where standing high, itching with hope. Ugh, yup another eye roll.
"No, you shouldn't hope for it or anything like it. I won't say thank you to you, cause I didn't ask you for it in the first place." I glared at him, raised my shoulders high and walked away.
I decided to spend the remaining time I had in the reception trying different types of deliciousness. But of course, a certain someone wouldn't let me taste my deliciousnes in peace. He kept on disturbing me, and refused to leave me alone.
Ugh, he is such a bug. Always bugging the hell out of me.
Thank fully, most of the time I was able to get rid of him and other times.... I wasn't really able to do so. Well.. that's by the way.
The reception has come to an end, my bestfriend is on a car heading for the airport and I am going back home. I meant going back to my bestfriend apartment, I have to make use of her jacuzzi and relax my fat self into the hot refreshing water.
I got into my car, I was about closing it when a certain unknown hand stopped me from closing the door.
"Uhm, I was wondering if you could drop me off by the nearest bus stop." Green eyes said to me, poking his head into my car. I don't get it, how In gods name is he related to Derek. I am one hundred percent sure he isn't related to Alice.
Alice would never have such a man as a family member.
"I can't drop you off, I'm not a taxi driver. Now if you don't mind, I will be off." Without giving him a chance to talk more further, I drove away in speed.
Now that's more like it.
(Juliet’s POV)For some weeks now, I’ve kept noticing that something was wrong with me. Especially my mood, the way it goes on and off is really worth to be questioned. The worst part would probably be how some of my favorite foods were starting to irritate me and make me feel as if I wanted to puke.“Are you alright?” Jason asked with Eric in his laps. Both of them were staring at me as I hit my chest for the fourth time in a row. They noticed that something was off about how I was behaving, and the way I had shaped my mouth too.“Mom?” Eric asked, and I nodded.“I am alr…” I had wanted to respond both of them that I was okay. And that I was only feeling something rise up in me abnormally, but I was cut short by the way the ‘thing’ suddenly gassed up inside me, fueled. I ran to the toilet, burying my head inside the water sink, and letting myself pour out all that vomit.Jason was behind me, covering Eric’s face as I puked into the white sink. He softly pulled him behind him, moving
(Juliet’s POV)The wedding party was over. The only thing left right now was for the newly wedded couples to leave for their honeymoon.I couldn’t possibly count how many wishes and prayers were devoted towards Jason and me with each steps we took. It was as though there were people placed around everywhere we were walking past.“Hey girl, you are good.” Alice said, kissing me on the cheek and hugging me so tightly. “Make sure tonight is memorable. Check your luggage, I dropped something in it. Make sure that’s what you wear tonight.”“You are naughty.” I said, spanking her on the butt. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I didn’t need anybody to tell me Alice was fantasizing about me having sex with Jason tonight, but it was less awkward compared to the first time, actually.“That’s what makes life spicy, no?” She said and we both burst out laughing. Jason pulled up the car in front of me, meaning that everything was set and we were supposed to leave already. I hopped into the
(Juliet’s POV)Alice rushed into the toilet, vomiting into the white sink that was right in front of her. She opened the tap and cleaned her mouth with the water that ran through it. I was behind her, watching her as she cleaned herself up. While she did her thing, all that was in my mind was fear. Was my best friend sick when it is the morning of my wedding day? Oh shit, I hope not.“Are you alright? Is everything okay?” I asked, moving closer to her as I wiped her wet face off with the handkerchief that was with me. She stood up upright and looked at me, nodding as a response to my question.“Yeah, I’m okay. I was just dizzy and suddenly felt irritated inwardly. That was why I vomited. Nothing is wrong with me, so put your mind at rest and let’s get you prepared.” She said, plastering a smile on her face. However, I still had some doubts about Alice. Part of me felt like she was only pretending to be strong because she didn’t want me to feel guilty as I would head down the alter lat
(Juliet’s POV)I went to the bridal shop to get my wedding gown. Alice and Julia asked to tag along to check how perfect it was. There was Adam too who begged to follow; I allowed him since he was gay anyways, and seeing me in the wedding gown wouldn’t mean a thing to him.We got to the bridal shop wherein I went into the changing room to put my wedding gown on. Alice, Julia and Adam waited for me outside the changing room, straining their eyes to see what I was going to show them anyways. I was done putting on the wedding gown, so I pushed aside the curtain at the changing room, stepping outside with so much finesse and beauty. I had hardly taken more than two steps when I was met with series of claps from the three of them. It sounded like a rainstorm, carrying so much of excitement.“Wow. Your gown is preeeeetty. I’m jealous.” Alice said, holding the tip of the gown and caressing it with so much care. I blushed at her words, praising myself for having a good eye for the gown, and c
(Juliet’s POV)I was going to be getting married to Jason few days after today. We were both in the room right now looking through the list of what we needed for the wedding to confirm if we haven’t left anything out at all. Jason and I skimmed through the lists, checking out what we already have ready on ground.“The wedding gown?” Jason asked, holding out the list.“Checked. Although I will have to go check it out in my room later.” I replied, and he ticked it up in the list that was with him.“I think we are all set. Everything is ready and all checked. I’m really happy and anxious.” Jason said, dropping the list to hold my hands.“Yeah, me too. I can’t describe how happy I am right now.” I said, burying my head under his broad chest. “I will be leaving your hotel room to mine today though. I won’t be staying with you here again. It’s our wedding soon, we can’t keep on seeing each other.”He scratched his head playfully, giving me a type of gaze that suggested to me that he underst
(Juliet’s POV)It was so surprising when I suddenly heard a group of people said ‘congratulations’ at the same time behind me, and clapping towards us. I withdrew my lips from Jason’s, trying to see who they were. They were my family. Julia, Alice and Judah too were among them. I saw Eric’s face twitching with delight. I figured out he understood what was going on even if he was just a little kid.“I’m happy for you, Juliet.” Alice said, wrapping her hands around me. I did the same, too, patting my best friend in the back as she started wishing me good luck and prayers. It would be an understatement to say that everything that happened here today, and that was going to happen in the future, regarding my happiness with my family, was all because of Alice. She was a friend that stood by me through my thick and thin. Even I didn’t know how well I could thank Alice. But, I started it simple first.“Thank you.” I said, as tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered everything I had been th
