CAUGHT MYSELF LOOKING AT YOU

ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔱𝔢𝔯 1

                    LILLIAN GRACE

It's the day of wedding.

I'm wearing this blue satin gown which reaches till my ankle. I wore matching earrings and small pendant necklace which dad brought me for my 18th birthday. I wore my black heels, as usual. I left my hair like it was.

I walked down to see Ella and dad already dressed up and waiting for me.

"Sorry, sorry !! I'm really sorry" I said as I joined them.

"You really take a lost of time time lily" dad laughed.

"Yeah. Learn to be quick as me" Ella winked at me.

We went and sat in Dad's black Lamborghini. We made our way to the wedding. It was not so far from our place.

Sam's father welcomes us. He's very young and charming.

"Lillian darling, it's so nice to see you. Sam's in room 3. She's waiting for you" he hugged me.

"It's so nice see you too. " I said and made my way to Sam's room.

I wanna scream the shit out of her for not telling me anything. God there's so many people. Uh. I'm searching and searching but I can't find room 3. I went up to see there is no one. Again i came down to see Jane standing still and her bitch face is on mood. I go and hug her behind. She stays still as if she knew I was gonna come.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Sam" she pointed to a girl wearing pure white shinning wedding gown.

"She's happy without us"she said in a hurt voice.

Meantime Sam saw us and started making her way towards us. I stood next to Jane. She came and hugged us both. We both congratulated her.

"I know you both are angry on me. I'm sorry but you really have to know the reason" she dragged us to the corner.

"Yeah the reason?" Jane interrupted Sam.

"I'm marrying the one and only Aron Jameson"

This was WHAT THE FUCK moment.
She's marrying Aron fucking Jameson.
That guy is a total playboy. She liked him but we made sure we doesn't get to know about it. But what the fuck?.
Our reaction was enough for her to explain.

"I know right. I never imagined i would marry him. It's all suprise and.." Jane interrupts Sam

"Bullshit. Sam, he will ruin your life. That's why we both didn't want you around him" she's so angry. Even I'm angry. In college days, that guy used to bully everyone girl. I hated him my whole life. Now she's marrying that motherfuker.

"Please I like him Jane. Lilly i know you hate him but for me please be normal. Jane you too" she's requesting us and how can we say no to this delicate darling.

"Fine" we both hugged her and kissed her so bad that ruined her makeup.

She takes us to her room. There it is her room. I searched the whole church and here it is, in the corner.

Sam and Jane were talking something. I got bored. So I went out to take some fresh air. This church is very special to us. My mom and dad married here. Jane's parents too. This church has a small garden behind it. I remember seeing this in their wedding album.

Teats began to roll down. I stared at the beautiful greenery in front of me. For seconds my whole world stopped.

"Enough is enough" I heard someone yelling. I turned around.He saw talking in the phone.

He's around 6 feet tall. He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, ocean blue eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face. His eyes were as deep and expressive, where you could get lost if you stared long enough. His face had that faraway look in it, which cannot be described in words. Well built body. He was wearing a blue tuxedo.
He looked handsome.

Whatever. Why the hell am I even staring at him.

I left that place and joined others.

It was the time. She walked down the aisle with her father. Honestly I waited my whole life I guess to see her this happy. She was always a depressed ass. Well she's marrying her dream guy. I'm happy for her.

Tears ready to roll down my cheeks. I see Ella already sobbing on dad's shoulder.

The groom is also crying. Sam's mother is also crying. This was the very emotional moment for everyone.

Accidently my eyes looked for that guy. No where to be seen.

Attraction happens. Wedding goes well. She's already married. She looks very happy. We are currently in her reception. She's dancing with her "husband". I still hate him.

"She's already married Lil" Jane said holding my hand in hers. "And we are still single" I laughed at her sarcasm.

"Well you'll find someone pearl, don't worry" i assure her.

"Yeah let's see" she let's out a sigh.

We danced, enjoyed at the reception. We congratulated the bride and groom. Dad left because he had some work. It's just me and Ella. Jane also left early because her mom was unwell.

My assistant James also showed up in the wedding. He had crush on Sam. Never confessed.

"Ma'am actually there was a problem today" James out of nowhere stated. Oh shit i forgot today was Monday and I had work to do.

"What kind of problem?" Usually any problems arise , James takes care of it.

"Ma'am we have a competitor" Oh i knew it.

"It's okay James. They won't win" i said casually. Because in front of my company no other company has ever won.

"Ma'am those people are from London. You know London brand is very popular". He's right.

"Yeah. Let me know tomorrow all the details of their company. We shall work on getting our company on top".
James agreed.

It was late. So James insisted to drop us home.

Dad was in his office room. Working on something. I guess he knows about the competitor. I opened the door and knocked twice to know him I'm here.

"You don't need to knock. Come in" he said without looking at me. I sat in front of his table.

"You know right?" I simply said. He knows i know. I can see it in his stress.

"Yeah. And they are from London sweety. We cannot lose in front of them" he said looking at me, very seriously.

"I understand Dad. You don't need to stress. I will work on that. Okay? Take some rest please. You been standing whole day today" i insist. He hesitates a little but then give up .

"Fine. Good night sweety" he kissed my forehead. "Good night Daddy" i kissed his cheek.

I went to my room. I took of the dress. I need a hot shower.

After a long shower. I take my phone and opened Instagram. All the pictures of Sam's wedding.

They look really happy. In some pics even I'm there. I scroll down more. One picture caught me. There that guy was standing. He was not mentioned.

Probably he's Aron's bestfriend.

I don't care.

I have to focus on my company. Aura Grace. No matter what. I have to save it.

It was my mom's idea of opening a clothing shop and we are number one in New York. I won't let that British company ruin my mood.

I reminded James about the details of the company.

Soon I fell asleep.
