Our Unfinished Business

Part 3 Dredging up The Past

I got to work and had my usual routine of coffee and a bagel while working through my lunch time, I decided to buy pizza for dinner today after I picked the boys up from school.  I decided to go and visit a few of the places I was going to use for the upcoming weddings which I had to prepare for , once I had a venue and on decided the place setting the colour scheme how many guests and the seating arrangement. then the rest of the preparation was really a breeze for me, I absolutely enjoyed my job I had decided from I was eight years old to become a Wedding Planner, I simply adored weddings at that age my mother's friends were always getting married, and they looked so beautiful in their dresses like fairy tale princess's. I always planned how my wedding day was going to be with my prince charming when I found him. I would wear the most beautiful lace mermaid dress with rare diamonds in my tiara everyone would sigh and some would be jealous because they would envy how I looked and they would all want to be in my place marrying my prince, I sighed wistfully coming back to the present, as I heard someone talking to me

"..... and you could move the dance area by the pool side, and put many flowers on the gazebo right Ms Taylor?" Lucy said looking at me enquiringly. 

"Um Lucy, I do hope all of what you've just said you have jotted it down for me".

"Yes Ms Taylor I do know how much you take my feelings into consideration and you place such value on my opinions, I really don't know how to thank you for all your doing for me, every time I think about two years ago I-I just want to do so much for you, for giving me the chance to prove myself". 

" Lucy you deserve to live a normal life making a mistake doesn't make you a bad person, it shows that you're human. Life is hard enough as it is, I cannot be selfish and not help people when I have the chance to do it, I have been fortunate and blessed so I do all I can for you, and anyone I know that needs help".

Smiling at me Lucy gave me a hug "you're too good to me Ms Taylor, its time for you to go meet the boys teacher now, I will see you when you get back".

"Ok, have Jenna call and make arrangements with Sam tell him to come see me on Friday for lunch we will discuss the catering for the Williams' wedding then". I said driving off Sam was a good friend of mine he had a Catering Service which I used all the time we had a great business relationship, he was tall and very handsome he had dark brown hair and amazing hazel eyes.Women drooled over him but they didn't know he was actually gay which was a good thing, he looked like a total hunk and he was my escort when I had to attend events and needed a date. I decided to ask him to attend Father son day with the boys because he got along with them so well, he was Uncle Sam to them, arriving at the school  I went to see the principal Jules Ramirez, we went to College together and we were still close friends. As I walked into her office she gave me a big hug and said.

" I haven't seen you since you took the boy's to Sanchez's party two weeks ago! are you avoiding me Tessa? do you have a new man in your life that's keeping you up at night?".  Jules said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

I sighed "Actually and old friend of ours is in town, his sister is a client of mine I'm doing her wedding I can finally buy out Jessica, and then put my energy into buying the premises." 

Jules looked at me quirking one eyebrow " who, who are you talking about Tessa? who is this person that is here?".

"Matthew Masters" I said, and Jules paled.
