Between Shades of Gray

XXIX

"So, you're marrying Ms. Hottie, huh? Like seriously?" Camila said that made me roll my eyes even if I know she can't see me.

I move my phone away from my ear, and put it on speaker. I was alone in my office anyway.

"Can we not talk about how you and Jennie had history once upon a time?"

"I didn't say anything."

"But you're implying to. And believe me, Camz... if I could slap you right now, I would. Just for revenge in sleeping with my soon-to-be wife." I said, my voice raising. I really don't know but I can't help but be jealous.

I shook that horrifying image away from my thoughts.

"Hey now. Don't get jealous on me. It was just a one time thing and besides you weren't both in a relationship with each other at that time." she said that made me exhaled a deep breath.

"Yeah... You're right. I'm sorry. I just don't want to think about it anymore." I said, in a defeated tone because in all honesty, what I say that day will never be gone in my head.

"Lalisa," she said after a short silence and her voice turned serious.

"I'm sorry I didn't know that you met an accident. If I was aware, I would have come there."

"I know, Camz. I know you would and it's fine. Jennie took good care of me and she didn't lose any hope." I said. "So now, would you help me find a nice venue for our wedding?"

"Of course, I will! I'll take care of that, no worries. I'll look for a best venue here in Europe for your wedding."

"Thank you! I owe you one." Then I smiled.

"By the way, you're my maid of honor or Best woman. Whatever it suits."

"Oh, really? Not Jisoo? Well, It would be my honor." She said and I imagined her smiling at me.

"You and Jisoo, I think it's cool to have two, right? I miss you Camz."

"I miss you too Lalisa." She replied.

Then I remembered teasing her.

"By the way, have you found your match yet? It would really be nice if someone could stop your playful ways, you know."

"Psshhh. That would be impossible. I love my single life."

"Well, for now... but someday, I know you will find your match too. Love is not that scary, in fact, it's the best thing, you know."

"In your dreams." She said that made me laugh loudly.

Ever since I proposed to Jennie, I started to plan for our wedding. She insisted to help but I told her that I would handle everything. I want to surprise her. I want to make an effort for her. I want to make her the happiest bride in the whole world.

I started making calls for everything. I even contacted the great Lee Ji-eun or popularly known as IU in the couture world to do our wedding gowns. She is one of the famous fashion designers in the world, which happened to be my friend.

A knock on the door made me stop from what I was doing.

I sigh deeply.

I told my secretary not to disturb me. Ugh!!! What does she wants this time?

"Come in." I called. My eyes were still fixed on my computer when the door opens.

"I told you I don't want to be disturbed-"

"I know that, but am I not exempted?"

"Nini!" I stand up and walk towards her. She cups my cheeks and kisses me directly in the lips.
