Déja Vú

Chapter 16

Leora

I walk in on my dad asking Ashton where we met and I swoop in to the rescue.Thinking back in hindsight,It was really stupid of me to invite him here without going over all that.

"Hey babe" I smile and give him a reluctant peck on the cheek,before sitting beside him.

He puts his hand over my shoulder and pulls me closer,and it honestly takes all in me not to push him off and just confess already.

"Okay you two,we are going to see your Aunt Martha and she will drop us at the train station so see you three at the dinner" Mum says before leaving the house with dad,who had put all thier suitcases in the car already.

We all say our goodbyes before they leave and Londyn turns to us"Uhm... I need to get a dress for the wedding so see you all in a bit okay?"She says before grabbing her purse and making her way to the door.

"But Londyn you already have an outfit for the wedding" I voice. I knew what she was trying to do. She wanted me all alone with this man and I was so not going to let her get away with it.

But she seemed determined."Well I need another one. A girl cannot have too many clothes right Ashton?"She nods over to Ashton who nods stupidly.

"Well...I wont be  gone for long ok? I love you ,bye" She rushes out of the door before I could even protest further and I just sigh, sinking myself further into the chair and I still feel Ashton's hand over my shoulders.

"You can let me go now,no one is here" I say scooting away from him and creating space between us.

"You wish is my command darling" He smirks and I just scoff.

"Anyways, we need to appear more romantic. I mean my mother almost sniffed us out" I say staring into his eyes.

"Well, that is not my fault miss. I mean you wont even let me hold your hand" He accuses and I take a deep breath.

He was right. I needed to make an effort too,for this to work no matter how painful that will be.

"True. I will try to do better" I sigh in resignation and he just smiles. No matter how pissed off about this whole situation,I could not deny he looked even more handsome when he smiled...And that pisssd me off more.

I mean,what is it he had that got me so attracted to him?

"So how is our wedding preparations coming along" He asks leaning into the chair.

"Well I spoke to the planner,he said he will get back to me as soon as he was done with Kathani's,although I already made some suggestions" I found myself saying,and for a moment it felt real.

Like I was marrying for love.

I shake those thoughts out of my head and focus on the man in front of me who was nodding at what I just said.

"Okay cool. But I think we should have the engagement party in Maimi though"

"Miami" I ask clearly confused.

"Yeah Miami. That way,you get to meet my family. Although events like that are usually really grand and formal over at our's though...If you dont mind" He says and I immediately shake my head.

"No its fine. Can we have It a week before the wedding though?" I asked. I still need to go shopping because arranged marriage or not,I could not attend my own wedding looking like a piece of shit,and anything less than goregous was likely to alert my family that all was not well.

"Sure" He replies and I nod my head."Any specific requests for the wedding "I asked because it seemed I was going to do most of the planning myself.

"Nope" He brings out his phone ands start going through it.
