Just One Hello (Book 2 in the Just Series)

Chapter 40

Ellie

I woke up and stretched my arms.

"I'm getting married today," I murmured.

Then I opened my eyes, my mind starting to work.

"Oh my god. I'm getting married today," I said frantically.

Then I burst out laughing.

"I'm getting married today," I said again. This time with a big smile on my face.

Then a knock on the door came.

"Come in," I called out.

It was my mother.

"Buongiorno, mia figlia."

"Good morning, mamma," I smiled.

"Today is your special day," she gushed.

"It is. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time," I said.

"That's normal. But you have noting to worry about. Everything will be beautiful and perfect."

I nodded. "I'm ready," I said.

I can't believe it. The last two weeks passed by in a blur. And now here I am, about to marry the man I love.

"You look absolutely stunning," my sister Zarah said.

"Thanks, Zar," I smiled.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. This is the first time, she and Jason will see each other since our brother's wedding months ago.

"I'm fine," she smiled.

I nodded.

"Don't worry about anything. This is your wedding day," she said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Ellie, you have a very anxious groom, waiting outside. He was very adamant that I make sure that you don't runaway from him," Ara said.

I laughed. "Like there's a chance of that happening," I said.

"That's what I said," Ara said.

"Sweetheart, he's just nervous and he can't wait to see you," my mother said.

"Yes, because you insisted on keeping them apart the day before their wedding," Zarah laughed.

"She did the same to Mass and I, remember?"

"Like it did any good," my mother murmured causing us all to laugh.

We found out later from Ara, that Massimo snuck into her room. We all had a good laugh at that. What they don't know is that, Marco did the exact same thing last night.

"Oh, what are you laughing at Ellie, your husband to be is just as bad. Don't think I didn't know that he snuck in to your room last night," my mother said.

My eyes went wide.

"How..."

"She has eyes everywhere," Ara and Zarah both said at the same time.

We burst into a fit of giggles.

"You look beautiful, mia figlia. Now, let's get you to your groom."

I nodded with a big smile.

Marco

"Relax," Massimo said as he clapped me in the back.

"Easy for you to say. You're married now," I mumbled.

He chuckled. "You'll be married soon too."
