Alejandro Vincenzo

Chapter 2

Michelle's pov:

Right after Alejandro's leave Alyssa coming running to me as expected.

"So who was that hottie?", said Alyssa.

"He is Alejandro, he wanted to talk about an private appointment for a dress shopping.", I said.

"So you do agree that he is hot?", said the dumbass standing beside me.

"Oh shut up Alyssa, he is not hot.", said Michelle.

"Oh yes, I totally believe your lie", said Alyssa.

Ignoring the conversation. I pushed Alyssa out of the boutique and said, "Let's go home!, I am tired."

THE NEXT DAY AT THE STORE:

Around 6:50 p.m. ->

"So when is mister hottie, I am too rich to have my friend shop for her wedding dress in a shop with so many commoners coming?", said the queen of exaggeration, Alyssa.

"Aye, he didn't say that and I am pretty sure that he asked for the private dress shopping due to some reasons, like safety, he did seem pretty rich.", I said.

"Great so you are trying to give excuses for the Richie rich's attitude now.  I see now that  we are choosing boys over best friend already", said Alyssa with an fake angry expression.

"Oh shut up, I would never pick someone over you especially a boy, and please get back to work now ma'am", I said.

"I know you wouldn't ever do that, and yes I would get back to work and make the store ready for your rich hag", said Alyssa.

With a roll of my eye I got back to my work and prayed to lord to give this idiot some brain atleast so that she would stop imagining things unnecessarily.

5 minutes later, Alejandro walked with a really pretty woman who was  probably about the same age as mine.

"Hey Michelle, this is Natalie,  my best friend for whose wedding dress shopping we are here for today", said Alejandro with his charming smile.

"Hey Natalie, I am Michelle. Today me and my best friend, Alyssa will help you pick your dress for the special day", I said.

"Hey Michelle, hey Alyssa. I am really glad to be here and I am really really really excited to see my wedding dress", said Natalie with a huge grin spread across her face.

MOVING TO THE WEDDING DRESS LOUNGE AREA:

"So are you exactly looking for something in your gown", I said.

"Not really, but I do want it be simple and elegant. It shouldn't be like too much bling or diamonds", said Natalie.

"I think I have some gowns which fit to your idea, let me show them to you", I said.

I had around & 7-10 dresses and I showed them to Natalie. On seeing them she liked three of them a lot and decided  to try them on.

When Natalie decided to go and try on the dress, Alyssa forced me to stay behind saying that, I didn't need to worry and she would help Natalie if needed.

I didn't understand her behavior till I turned behind and saw the charming, arrogant, rich, idiot staring straight at me with an emotionless face but obviously with his very favorite classic smirk, which seems to be plastered on his face.

I HATE YOU ALYSSA!!

I don't what came in the very stupid brain of mine that I decided to ask him, "Why are you always smirking, like is there some stupid memo in your life stating that you have to be smirking 24x7?", I said.

And then his smirk grew bigger and then he said, " Well aren't you noticing me a lot nowadays, Michelle"

I don't know why but I didn't like the way he said my name. It gave me a weird feeling in my stomach as if there were butterflies in there.

"Its Ms. Garcia for you Alejandro, only people who I like and I am friends with are allowed to call me Michelle", I said.

He stood up from his place and walked straight to me and as the idiot I am walked behind and got trapped between him and the wall, like all those characters in the movies who I used to shout at through the TV for walking behind and not away.

And all of a sudden it felt like the room was really hot and small. 

He raised his hand and put the hair which had fallen on my face behind my ear. And then he spoke, "So Michelle, are you saying that you don't like me?".

Before I could answer his question for which the answer was obviously a NO. Natalie came running out of the dressing room in a white gown, shouting that, "I found it, I found it!!".

And there she was standing in front of us in a really beautiful gown looking so beautiful and amazing.

I have always loved this moment when a woman is standing in front of me, wearing a gown. It made me remember how when I was younger, my mom used to always tell me how she wanted my wedding to be, what type of flowers, the perfect wedding dress and the perfect location. It made me forgot about all the differences we had and the reason why I loved her even after all that she has done to me.

My sweet reverie, was broken with a woman entering my boutique who I couldn't see clearly due to the glass partition in between and Natalie went running to her who was still at the entrance and saying how she had found her perfect wedding dress. With the way they were talking about a boy who I think is Natalie's soon to be husband it seemed that the woman was probably Natalie's mother-in-law.

Alejandro went to the two women and asked them to come in and talk instead of standing at the entrance  and talking.

The moment I saw the woman clearly I couldn't believe my eyes. The one person who I had been hiding from since the last  9 years was standing in front of my eyes. It was none other than Madeleine Garcia, my mom.

"Michelle?"
