Toxic Mistress

26

7 months later....

"Baby it's fine" this man was crazy "Fine? Chris I asked for white roses and these are damn Calla lilies" I was freaking out right now "Ma'am I'm so sorry, I must have gotten it mixed up on the phone but I can get you the white roses" the florist said clearly apologetic but I couldn't think about that right now
"Please just order the roses" Chris said and the lady walked away, I groaned laying my forehead on his chest "Are white roses or lilies really gonna affect our wedding day?"
"I just don't understand how every event I plan goes perfect and when it's my event everything is going to shit, first the cake then the dress and now this"

So Chris and I are getting married.

7 months ago I made the hardest decision I ever made in my life and honestly my heart was completely broken after. To have to let go of Eric and James at the same time was too much. For a while after I thought I made the wrong decision but Chris....I don't know, he made me feel like THE woman. He made me feel special and honestly I love him.

4 months after it was just me and him, he proposed to me and I obviously said yes but part of me felt guilty.

I missed James.

I mean I missed Eric but like I said before, Eric didn't compare to James in the slightest.
I missed James and even when I tried not to...I missed him more, but I feel like he was a big part of my life for 2 years so of course I did.

"Nicole you know I don't care how this wedding turns out because as long as your Mrs. Banks in the end then it was all worth it" Chris knew exactly what to say and when to say it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his lips
"I love you" I said smiling looking into his eyes I loved so much "I love you to" he said wrapping his arms around my waist.

My phone rang and even though I didn't have his number saved I knew exactly who it was "Is that who I think it is?" Chris asked looking at my phone and I nodded, he reached for it but I quickly declined it "Don't worry about it babe, you see I'm not" he nodded kissing my lips.

"Ma'am I ordered the roses and they will be here in a week" the way I wanted to jump across the counter right now "The wedding is in 8 days..."
"We'll I'm sorry but that's all I can do"
I really wanted to jump across this counter and Chris knew it "Okay it's gonna be okay baby let's go" Chris pulled me out and to the car quickly.

Despite it all, I couldn't believe I was gonna be a wife in just a week time.

I don't know if it hit me yet though, it kinda feels unreal especially with Chris. I always imagined that it would be James and I getting married so I was still kinda shocked that it wasn't but I can see me spending the rest of my life with Chris.

He just makes me happy.

I moved in with Chris after he proposed but we both agreed to move after we got married, we wanted a house that started with both of us and not just one of us...a house we could raise our kids in and grow old.

No I'm not pregnant if that's what you were thinking but we planned on getting there.

"My sister's got their dresses " I rolled my eyes "I would not be surprised if those dresses were white" he laughed but I was serious, his sister's did not like me and they didn't try and hide it either.
It was very clear that they didn't want this wedding to happen but was only going cause they loved their brother which I didn't mind.

I tried to fix it.

It was important that they liked me...at first but eventually I realized there was no fixing it because they didn't actually have a reason to not like me, Chris never told them about everything that happened before this so at this point they were just overprotective sister's who thought no one was good enough for their brother and I was too grown to care.

"I know that you guys don't have the best relationship but I know at the wedding they'll be good and I'm sure you guys will be fine" yeah okay "I'm not worried about that but I am worried about your bow tie" he looked at me with a straight face before looking back at the road "What bow tie?"
"Exactly" he smacked his lips "I told you I wasn't getting that cause I'm not gonna wear it"
"So first the cake, the dress, the flowers, and now the tie? Fine" he sighed loudly before looking my way and smirking "Your not slick but alright, I'll get the bow tie"
"No need...it's in the closet" I said leaning over and kissing his cheek.

"How about I make you dinner? I'll make that stuffed bake chicken you like and then after I'll give you a preview of our wedding night? " he asked as we pulled up to the house.
He was just everything right.

"Absolutely"

I love him.
