Before You Say I Do

Chapter Eighteen

Three more chapters to go!!

Want to know a secret?

I hate people. I hate the media. I hate how someone's life is used as entertainment.

Every magazine now had the headline, “Juliana and Jon Broke Up: Is it because of her fling in Italy?”

ugh. I mean seriously? They know absolutely nothing. I was fed up with these lies and that's probably why I did what I did when I left the house this morning.

The cameras and interviewers were out there trying to get information and information is what I was going to give them I stop in front of them as everyone shouts things out.

“okay, one question at a time and I'll answer them!” I yell over the noise.

It goes silent and then one guy asks a question, “is it true that you and Jon broke up?”

well that was easy, “yes.”

“what about you and Adam DiGerlando?”

“nothing is happening between Adam and I. He's getting married in a couple days and I'm still getting over the break up.”

a woman in the back asks the next question, “how do you and Adam know each other?”

“Adam lived in Maine for a couple years and that's when I showed up. Since I know it's going to be a question, yes he and I dated, but only for about six months. He came back here and since I was in town I thought I'd hang out with him some. There's nothing between us but friendship.”

“Is he Katie's father?”

“no, we met in Maine, not Italy.”

“have you met his fiance, Stephanie?”

“yes, actually I have. She seems very nice and I'm happy he found someone to marry that's as great as her.” no one asked a question, “is that all you guys have? Really? I mean, you've been out here for a week trying to get information and that was honestly it?” I was surprised that there weren't anymore questions.

“who are you in town for.”

“that's a surprise you're just going to have to find out later.”

“last night you sang a song that you wrote, who inspired it?”

“I told you, my ex.”

“Adam?”

“yes, it was about Adam. I wrote it when I just found out he was getting married and was slightly jealous. But now, especially after meeting Stephanie, everything's fine. I just liked how the song turned out.”

“you were offered a contract with Lantor Records but turned it down, why?”

I laugh, “I make cakes and you guys are out on my front step bombarding me with questions. Do you really think I want to become an artist on top of that?” I ask them, “now, anything else or can I get back to work?” no one said anything more so I went back inside and continued working on the cake. This was going to look gorgeous for the wedding and honestly, part of me wishes I could attend it.

“hey Juliana?” Lucas asks, standing at the window and looking out over all the media.

“yes Lucas?”

he closes the curtain and looks at me, “he's here, with a little boy.”

Everyone was over at the moment and we all stared at him. “what do you mean?”

“I mean that Adam and his son are walking up the steps as we speak.”

Shit! “you guys, help me get this stuff hidden.” I say and start moving the stuff to my bedroom with Katelyn and Dakota helping me. By the time there was a knock on the door, I was able to answer it.
