Don't Be Cruel

Chapter 21

She made her way downstairs, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, that reignited her senses. When at the bottom, she stared at Richie flicking through a magazine of guitars and lavish mansions, how could a man such as Richie, ever been without a woman? Yes, she was his fiancé but, before she knew him, could not of been able to kiss someone goodnight? Still, she was his, forever and he was unlike any other boyfriend that she had ever had throughout her life, he was smart, sweet, caring, not to mention loving. She made her way over to the island in the kitchen, the windows looked out into the open sea as the waves gently rolled against the beach, the sun shone high in the sky as she poured her coffee, she slowly sipped the black liquid, working hard on her overly-taxed body.

Richie, stared endlessly at the Fenders and Kramers, forgetting the long haired, flashy guitarist that came with it. After all, he was one and by the amount of hairspray he used this was no joke, she sighed. Richie looked up from the magazine, stepping off the barstool and slowly put his arms around her waist. 
"Rich" she laughed, before he started to tickle her; this was her weak spot.
"Sorry Evie, too tempting not to do" he replied, picking up her coffee and drinking it, more like gulping it. He stared at her, wiping his mouth as she huffed. 
"Get your own" she mumbled as he put down the mug, moving towards the spacious sofa that sat in front of the new colour TV, he sat down with a thud, gently patting next to him.
"Come here, my darling" he told her, as she sat down next to him, he pulled her closer, she nuzzled into Richie's chest as her flicked through the channels.
"Wanna watch MTV?" he asked, looking at her
"Yeah, sure" she replied, purring her little heart out.
He switched onto MTV, it shown Axl Rose and Slash doing a boring interview about being a band on the Sunset Strip.
"Nope, not this band again" Richie spat as he changed the channel onto a more his age friendly show: Tom and Jerry.

"Ooh, I like this show, haven't watched in years though" she told him, her hand moving onto his leg, he smiled and gazed at the television. 
"So want to do anything today?" Richie asked and he knew what was coming.
"Shopping!" she yelled, yep, Richie knew it, besides she needed a wedding dress.

She put on a floral dress from her closet, pink flowers with a white background, perfect for the summer months that's for sure. She ran down the stairs, towards the awaiting chauffeured care that Richie had ordered to take them into the pretty coastal town. The Bridal shop wasn't that far from the beach, so when they were done, they could go swimming. Richie took her hand as she climbed into the limo, Richie sat next to her, the car moved down the drive, she stared at the road that passed, barely keeping able to hold in the excitement.
