Chapter 106

Quick note:
The half of the chapter is straight up from last chapter of After 3(by Anna and also published book version too) but in different POV's rather than that orginal one. And also the dialogues may differs from the Wattpad version because I've also taken it from the published version(which is better). I've mixed the two versions to make it perfect and I tried to keep the original essence still intact, but with a tiny bit of my magic (which is stupidity).

Hope you like it though. (◠ᴥ◕ʋ)

Tessa's POV:

"Tessa, did your boyfriend arrived? I can't see him anywhere." Nora's sister asks as my hair and makeup completely done by the artists that she hired for us, the wedding party and also for the bride.

"Robert is not my boyfriend, Stausey!" I made her clear one more time, sternly and loudly.

She is so damn annoying and... dumb. She's dumb, I've literally told her five times from the past two hours, politely when I was getting my hair curled and face painted, but now I can't keep my politeness any longer. I've had enough of her calling Robert as my boyfriend, she also did it at the dinner rehearsal yesterday after I told her he isn't, but she said it anyway and in front of Hardin at that. Poor soul.

He must be thinking Robert is my boyfriend right now and would be tensed by his nerves out; well someone else already told him that I was dating Robert as Kim told me he knows it, but that was one and a half month ago and the same day after I hung up on Kim, I broke up with Robert, well he dumped me I should say, but we aren't together as a couple, are we? No, we are not.

And from that day on Robert has been a constant friend in my life, nothing more. I thought he might eased up by the news but looking at his expression when Stausey blurts yesterday calling Robert my boyfriend I see the pain in his eyes as he heard the bitter words. And I tried to correct the mistake by scolding her, but I stop myself so could continue the lie only so I'd be the one say the truth to him today before I propose him and see his relaxing face.

But Stausey speaking shit by calling Robert repeatedly my boyfriend, which I don't have it now.

"Calm down. Jeez." The snooty sister rolls eyes heavily shaded on me. "But did you see him?" She asks as she reads the long checklist that I made for her to check around the venue, as she'd be the one checking all the things today are done or not as I planned; not me which was my duty to check as I'm the wedding planner here but I'm also the maid of honor too and I should do this job rather than checking. But she acts like she is the planner not me with few stacks of paper in her hands.

"I called him. He will be here any minute." As I inform her the door to the room that all the ladies, including me are getting ready in back of the church, pushes back open revealing Robert in his groomsmen tux. "There you go, he's here." I tell the snooty sister to get her off of my back.

"Thank God." She sighs in relief.

"Tessa!" He calls and walks over to me where I'm standing ignoring the sister who was walking towards him. Scoffing she gets out of the room with the script and the checklist. "Sorry for the delay but I have to say something really important to you." He begins, worries is evident in his voice.

"What is it?" I ask, panicking by looking at his face and tone. Please say it's not related to him.

"Is it fine if I don't walk down with you?" He asks, politely. "I was thinking I should walk with Pedra, as Kelsey isn't here and she'd the one replacing her to walk with me, so is it fine with you if you walk solo?" Kindly he explains me, which was unexpected and not that much to worry about, and also it's not about him too which is more relaxing.
