Déja Vú

Chapter 17

"I think the aisle needs more flowers" I say to the planner and he nods,gesturing to the movers to get more flowers.

I was tired.

Immediately we got off the plane, Ashton drove me to the Aiko store in Paris,in his Mercedes of course,much to my protests to pick up Kathani's dresses.

We got to the hotel and I could not even take a shower when I was pulled to oversee Kathani's dinner and other wedding arrangements.

Of course,sly Kathani got Ashton and I a room and the entire hotel was booked and we could not get another room so unfortunately, I had to stay with Ashton.

"Ma'am,this is for you" The wedding planner Dylan comes over holding a glass of orange juice and a bag.

I take the glass and the bag clearly confused and i open the bag and pull out the card.

Those legs were looking well and truly sore...Felt you needed a break.
Yours,
Ashton.

I pull out the box in the bag to see a pair of white Nike sneakers with white pearls on them and a pair of white ankle socks  and I could not help but smile.

I knew that Kathani would probably murder me but i decided to risk my head and took off my heels,slipping the socks and shoes on.

I put my heels back in the bag and took the drink muttering a 'thank you' before turning to check on the rest of the arrangements.

"You bitch" I smile,strolling into Kathani's room holding a dress bag.

I had finished up about an hour ago and had gone to take a shower before coming to drop Kathani's outfit off.

Ashton was not in the room though, much to my relief but he did leave a note saying he had to handle some buisness and I texted him when he had to be back and where to meet me.

This was the first time he was going to meet all my friends and family so we could not arrive separately, and with my mum already having her doubts, I could not create any further suspicions.

"You really had to book the same room didn't you?" I drop the bag on her bed and walk up to where she was having her make up done.

"We could not have our families getting suspicious could we,plus all the rooms where booked" She tries to defend herself and I immediately shut her up.

"Liar. So how can you explain why the room has only one-seaters and no couches" I jokingly smack her arm and she grins, raising her hands in the air.

"Okay you got me" She chuckles and I give her a smile.

"How do you feel" I asks squeezing her shoulder as she takes a deep breath.

"Surreal. I mean I am finally getting to marry the love of my life after so long you know?" She looks up at me and I smile.

"But nervous. I just hope everything goes well" She looks concerned turning her engagement ring in her hand I reassure her"Everything it going to be perfect Kay,dont worry I've got you"

She smiles and places her hand over mine that was still on her shoulder. "I know,I love you Rori"

"I love you too Kay" I turn back to hide my tears.I would admit,I was jealous.

She was going to get married to the love of her life tommorow and in three weeks,I was going to get married to a total stranger,for a crime I didn't even commit.

She was lucky,she had gotten to experience love,tough cookie or not.

And I had never,not even with Jake. I had never had the spark that she had in her eyes as she was getting her hair done. That warmth that enveloped her and Leon whenever they were together.
