His Rectifying Graze [COMPLETED✔]

CHAPTER 22: Success Or Failure? [✔]

KATE’s P.O.V.

          Today, we will meet our wedding planner to help them in our wedding preparations. Also, Dad said that if we wanted to have a personal touch to this wedding, we need to be here. Though we don’t have much thing to do.

          Dad told me that this might help me get close to Darren and vice versa. He said that if ever there’s still a chance, I should grab it and make him fall in love with me. So I tried my best to be as sweet as possible around him.

“So, what color do you want to be the theme of our wedding, Darren?” I asked sweetly.

          I’ve been asking him so many questions since we arrived in here. But all he ever answer was anything is fine and I should be the one to choose since I’m the bride. But that doesn’t stop me to try and be more comfortable around him. Even my hearts states the otherwise. It feels like I’m missing something... Or maybe someone very important to me.

“Anything...” Darren answered, bored.

“But I want you to choose,” I pouted, trying to look cute in front of him.

          I heard him sighed before resting his head on the couch. I came closer, giving him the magazine I’m currently holding where he could chose a color from. I badly wanted him to participate in this wedding so that I can make sure that I’m not looking like an idiot in front of my Mom.

“Choose, Darren.”

“Fine, fine. Will black do?” he asked sarcastically.

          Mom glared at his direction, looking mad because of his suggestion. Though he’s idea wasn’t so bad after all. Imagining myself wearing a black wedding dress is a definitely a must try since that color gives the expression of what I’m truly feeling about this wedding. If I wanted to be his bride before, now I wasn’t as interested to this wedding as much as Darren is.

“Darren, please take this seriously. I don’t want my daughter’s wedding to be joke.”

“Sorry,” He apologized towards Mom.

“Mom, that’s fine. And maybe his idea wasn’t so bad after all. Black is good,” I stated as I fluttered my eyelashes on Darren, hoping that we could create a different connection towards each other but there’s nothing. I felt nothing.

“Kate, please choose another color. I think that black is not appropriate for the occasion. It’s a wedding day, dear. Not a wake or a burial,” Mom stated firmly, her voice is full of authority.

          I know that she probably hated Darren after all the events that happened in the last few months. I just nodded to Mom before tugging Darren along with me.

         I wanted to tell him the truth now... That I’m not so sure about this wedding or maybe beg him to stop this insanity. He should just find Claire and apologize to her. But when the right moment comes and we both stopped walking at the wall of dresses, I couldn’t find my tongue and the proper words to tell him. I can’t speak anymore so I just invented some random stuffs to tell him, only reopening the topic about the theme of our wedding earlier.

“Mom doesn’t like your idea, though if that’s what makes my future husband happy, I’ll do it.”

          When he didn’t answer, I tried to gain as much courage as I can to make an affectionate move. I just wanted to see if I could still feel something towards him. Something that I felt before with someone... That night, with Elijah.

          I smiled towards Darren before giving him a quick kiss on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He didn’t pushed me away or anything, but I knew it to myself that he didn’t felt something... Same as I.
