Lost Soul Mates

Chapter 41

Laura Grace/LG/Gracie/Chief

"I am so full I may not fit into that dress tomorrow." I turn to Lizzie and pat my belly.

"Real classy their Queen." Lizzie says back taking a seat next to me on the sofa facing a massive fireplace. It is the after dinner sitting room as Chandler calls it. It is for after dinner drinks and entertainment. I feel like we stepped back in time almost. Sarah is in the wingback chair next to the sofa and Emi is standing next to me as Charlie goes to sit next to Lizzie.

"Do you mind if I go to bed?" Emi leans down and asks me softly. I turn and look at her.

"Emi, you can just say, 'hey LG, I am beat I am going to bed see you in the morning.'" I grab her hand and squeeze it. She smiles.

"Do you need me to wake you in the morning or..." Lizzie and Charlie start to laugh as Sarah turns to her.

"Short Stack, I suggest you don't go near that door till around 8am. I can almost guarantee you do not want to walk in that room, one. And two, I know Chief, she will be up at 5am worrying about the entire day." Sarah says waving at Emi.

"Can I ask you a question Sarah?" Emi asks softly.

"Just ask, don't be scared, I am an open book." She says leaning back.

"Really?" I say looking at her. "Quantico!" I give her a smirk. She sits up and points at me.

"Except that, that is classified, and you know it!" Sarah says sharply.

"Well my question is, why do you call me short stack?" She looks at Sarah as Sarah looks at her with a blank expression.

"I don't know, just a feeling." She shrugs off the question.

"Alright, how do I give her the itinerary for tomorrow if I can't see her till 8? Her first appointment is at 8:30am with you, Lizzie, and Charlie?" She asks Sarah as we all look at her not knowing what she is talking about.

"Well, I am right here, we can review it now. Actually, I prefer to review the night before and then adjust as needed." I say to her as Sarah nods. "Where are we going at 8:30am?" I ask as she pulls out a phone from her dress pocket. Good functional dress, although not stylish and makes her look like a servant and I am not having it.

"You all are going to have people come in and do your hair and makeup and then there is brunch at 10:30am. Followed-by the introduction to the pack at 11:30, then a meeting with business owners at 1pm. At 3pm you have to greet the Alpha's that are coming in for the ceremony the next day." She looks at me and I nod.

"So, I will be done around 5 or 6, not bad." I look from Sarah who is nodding back to Emi who is shaking her head no.

"Sorry, no. You have dinner with just the family at 6 that goes till 8 then a family picture on the stairs after dinner. We had to push it back because your brother is not coming till tomorrow." Emi stops and I look at her with pleading eyes to ask if we are done. "Yes, you will be done as soon as the picture is over. Oh, and you must wear a red dress for the dinner as well, not your pack color. It signifies you first photo with you and King Maximus." Emi says looking at me diligently.

"Good thing I brought extras red clothes. I have a shift dress that will work or my sheath dress." I nod looking at Sarah as she nods in approval. "One more thing. Can you call him just Max?" I ask her as her eyes go wide. Max comes up behind me.
