Cardigan

Chapter Thirty-Six

Charles POV

"You're not having a stag, do?" Pierre asks.

"I don't think so. I haven't really thought into it,"

"I can plan it. I mean, I am the best man after all, right?"

"You are. I couldn't choose one of my brothers it wouldn't be fair,"

"I'm also the better option than the two of them," he speaks, "but anyway, I'll plan it," he says. "Book out Jimmy Z, invite all the lads,"

"Aslong as you don't go overboard, then that's alright with me,"

"Don't worry about it. I won't,"

"I don't know if I should trust your words. I'm sure we've been in this position before,"

"That was different. We were both newly single, and it was your birthday. I was allowed to go all out, but I'll keep this one low-key,"

"Thanks, mate,"

"I can't believe you're getting married finally settling down,"

"If you told me this time last year I'd be marrying Elle, I'd think you were having me on," he smiles at me.

"Something you've been dreaming about for a long time much longer than she knows,"

"She knows that I had feelings for her back then, but she doesn't know all of it,'

"Well, she will. When i do my speech, I'm making sure she knows just how much you love her,"

"I need to look for a tux," I speak.

"There's plenty of shops around," he says, pointing at the shops surrounding us.

"I've had my eye on a tux back home. I'm just not sure if it would look right on me,"

"Well, as soon as we are back, I'll call the troops, and we'll go with you. we might as well get all of our suits as well,"

"It's a date," I wink

"Looks like you two had fun," I say as the girls walk through the door bags in the hands. What I noticed was a dress bag in kikas' arms.

"What's that?" Pierre asks, pointing to the dress back my eyes were locked on.

"It's my dress," Elle says.

"Your dress?" She nods "as in your wedding dress?" She nods again.

"Yes, and you two aren't allowed to look,'Kika adds.

"Why can't I look she's not marrying me," Pierre defends.

"Because I know if you see this dress or her in it, you won't be able to keep your mouth shut, and Charles isn't allowed any hints on what it looks like,"

"That's so not fair,'he moans."I shouldn't have to wait till the wedding,'

"May as well give up while you can. You won't win this fight, P," I says, patting his back."Am I allowed to ask questions?"

Before Elle could speak, Kika beat her to it. "You get five."

"I can't think of the spot," I panic.

"Is it white?" Pierre asks.

"Yes, now you only have four,"

"Dude, you used my question. Of course, it's white, you idiot,"

"She might have gone the non-traditional way,"

"Did you cry when you saw yourself in it?" I ask.

"I did," she smiles at me, "so did Kika, Arthur, and your mum,"

"Wait, I'm sorry you let Arthur and Mama Leclerc see it, but I can't even get a glimpse?"

"We've been over this," the two girls roll their eyes.

"Great, im going to cry," I say. "I mean, I knew I would, but i just meant harder,"

"Next question,"

"Who chose it Elle or Kika?" Pierre asks.

"I chose it," Pierre nods and smiles.

"I know her style. I'll find out what it looks like before the date,"

"Is it a princess gown or slim?" He asks another question.

"It's a gown. You aren't getting anything other than that,"

"I honestly don't care what it looks like as long as you love it. Do you love it?"

"I knew it was the one soon as I saw the look on Kikas face,"

"Then that's all that matters." I walk over, wrapping my arms around her. "I can't wait to see you wearing it, Mrs Leclerc to be,"

"Mrs Leclerc has a ring to it, right?"

"It certainly does," I kiss her lips.

Elle POV

"With the dress just hanging there makes me want to see it more and more," he says, cuddling into me.

"You've got to wait it's a bad look to see it before,"

"I know I just can't wait until I see you walk down that aisle,'

"And I can't wait to walk down the aisle,"

"It feels so sureal were getting married in a couple of months," my head rests on his chest. "Elle Leclerc, I don't think I'll ever get board of hearing that,"

"You're the first Leclerc boy to get married," I state. "I already know your mums going to be a mess,"

"Oh, she will be your like her daughter,"

"I love her like she's my mother too,"

He smiles at me. My family is everything to him, especially his mother and the love I have for her, and she has for me means more to him then he'll ever say.
