Cardigan

Chapter Thirty-Five

Elle POV

"Charles," I whisper, shoving him slightly, but he still stays fast asleep. I groan, getting up, walking towards the door, and opening it.

"Sorry, did we wake you,"

"Kika?" She smiles at me as I rub my eyes."Did you guys not realise that it's 4am? "

"We just got on the plane then came straight her. I told you she'd be asleep," Pierre says. "Sorry we woke you, Elle can we come in," he doesn't let me answer as he pushes his way in luggage following behind him.

"What's with all the noise?" Charles asks, walking out the room looking at the two guests.

"We're your new roommates for the week," Pierre says.

"What?" He asks."Do you two not understand the whole alone time thing?"

"We do," Kika says, sitting down next to Pierre, "but what's better than alone time with us two," Charles walks over to me.

"We're never going to get rid of them, are we?" I shake my head.

"I think we're stuck with them for life,"

"We can hear you," Pierre says.

"Kika, you know we're the guest room is me and Charles are going back to bed," they both nod, making themselves at home.

"Pierre, I swear to god, if you don't get off me, I'm going to stab you,"

"You're not a morning person, are you?" He asks, rolling off me and leaving himself on Charles."Charlie boy, wake up,"

"How could I not be awake?" Charles asks, shoving Pierre off the bed.

"There was no need for that come on we made breakfast,"

"You know I can't say no to food," I say, pulling myself out of bed and leaving the two of them to bicker.

"Kika, it smells great,"

"I'd love to say that I made this, but this was all Pierre,"

"I didn't know he could cook,'

"He's decent. I was surprised when we got together,"

"What I would give for a man who can cook,"

"Hey, I'm trying my hardest," Charles says. "You said I was getting better,"

"You are, but each time you made something, I'm get worried,'

"Well cherie your marrying me so you're stuck with me and my shit cooking,"

"And I wouldn't have it any other way," I smile as he kisses my cheek, taking a seat.

"Me and Elle are going shopping later,"

"We are?" I ask she nods.

"We are,"

"Guess I can't say no to that,"

"You're lucky we don't have plans today,"

"Even if you did, you know that she'd chose kika over you," Pierre adds

"Yeah, I know,"

~~~~~~

Shopping in New York was something else, especially when I'm with Kika she makes us go into every shop. If she sees something she likes for me, I have to try it on.

"I should have got that dress," Kika says.

"We can go back?"

"No, it's okay if I still want it. I know we're it is," I nod as she continues to walk my eyes, locking on a wedding dress shop.

"Kika," she stops and turns around. "Maybe you want to go try dresses on with me?'

"Yes!" She squeals when she sees the shop I'm pointing to."Let's go," she grabs my hand, pulling me towards the shop.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I'm just looking for now," they lady nods.

"How about you both pick out a few dresses, and we can try them on. I'll do the same. Does that sound alright?"

"That sounds perfect, thank you," I say. "Sorry I didn't catch your name,"

"Jane," she smiles.

"I'm Elle, and this is Kika,"

"Let's find you a dress, shall we,"

I wasn't sure what type of dress I wanted. I didn't know the style or anything, but the wedding was close, so I needed to find a dress fast.

Kika picked out a few options, and I did the same walking to the dressing room. None of them stuck out to me. I didn't suit any of them.

"I've just seen the most beautiful dress give me a second," Kika says, getting up from her seat and rushing out.

She comes back handing the dress to Jane. I didn't get a glance at it.

I turned back into the dressing room the dress Kika had chosen hung up.

"This is one of our newest dresses to the collection it's an off the shoulder sweetheart neckline sleeveless gown with 3D flowers,"

"It's beautiful," I say Jane helps me get into the dress. I didn't look in the mirror. I wanted Kikas' reaction before I saw myself.

"You look," she stops, tears brimming her eyes. "You look amazing," her tears fall. "Sorry, I just can't believe you're getting married," she says. I turn around, looking in the mirror, falling in love with the dress

"It's perfect," I say. "Can you pass me my phone," she nods, handing it to me.

I facetime Arthur wiping the tears away as he answers.

"You know the time difference, right?"

"Yet you still answered where are you,"

"With Maman," he moves the camera to Pascale, "say hi,"

"Great, you're both together. me and Kika are dress shopping, and I think I found the one,"

"Oh my let me see let me see," Pascale says as Arthur rest the camera in front of the both of them I pass the phone to Kika and she holds it in front of me so they get the view of the dress.

"You look beautiful, Elle," Arthur says he also had tears.

"My sweet Elle, look at you," Pascale says. "That is the one my son is so lucky,"

"You think it look good on me," they both nod.

"You've never looked so beautiful," Arthur says "its the one," I smile at them, both turning to Jane.

"I guess this is the one,"
