I wake up and a note is left on my nightstand from Liam. I pick it up and read it.
Dear Lillian,
I can't be here today but I would like it if you could work on some of the wedding decisions because to be honest I hate it. I could possibly care less if I wanted red linens or bright yellow. I know you will make the best decisions. I love you so much. I'll be back tomorrow.Good Luck and have LOTS of patience.
Love, LiamI immediately went to the safe and sure enough the book was gone. I knew what I had to do and he probably wanted to be safe to make sure I didn't find it. I walked over to my computer and pulled up decoration ideas while I called my friend Alexis who was a wedding planner.
"Hello, A's Dream Designer, Alexis speaking." She said in her peppy voice.
"Lex, stop we both know who called." I complained.
"Oh, Lily why are you calling? Did Liam propose?" She asked.
"Yes well no well kinda." I mumbled.
"Oh....ok what do you need?" She said unsure. She was another who could see ghosts because she was in an accident in a lab with her old boyfriend who was a scientist and blah blah blah.
"I need red and white decorations for...............35?" I said.
"Budget Lily, I need a budget." She spat.
"$1,000." I replied.
"LILY! You woman are a millionaire! Give me more to work with!" She shouted.
"Fine. $11,000." I hissed.
"Thank you." She said.
"Welcome, for my bouquet I need one red rose and one white lily tied together." I said.
"Really? Never mind ok. We have red and white decor, a rose and Lily bouquet, and dress?" She read off.
"I will do that and the tux, as well as the invites." I said.
"Fine my work should be about...............I hate you." She said.
"Why?" I asked.
"The price of what I have to get totals $1,000." She growled.
"Hahahah," I laughed falling on the floor "ow."
"Ha." She replied.
"Goodbye" I said and hung up.
I got ready and went out dress shopping because Liam can get his tuxedo. I walked into the first store I saw. A woman came up to me and said "Hi, my name is Maria and can I help you with anything?" In my head I'm like 'Yeah I'm here for a wedding dress why do you think I came here!?' But instead I responses with "Yes I fact I'm here for a wedding dress. The wedding colors are red and white."
"Oh...ok let's get you some things to try on." Maria said.
I tried on thirteen dresses finally deciding on a simple white floor length strapless dress decorated in pearls. I got that dress because I wanted to pick something out that reminded me of home because once I kiss him I have a minute to grab anything of my own possession to come with me when I turn so I'm obviously wearing the dress and I'm working on a bag to pack.
~~~~~~~~~
I got home and put my dress in my wardrobe and grab a huge suitcase, I pack picture frames of my parents, Nelly & I and my sisters Dawn & Cindy. I pack my previous dog' sashes. Her name was sugar and she used to belong to my Aunt Rida but sugar helped me solve so many cases. I packed a few pairs of clothes & shoes. I grabbed my journals I wrote about each case I solved in as well as my unsolved one that happened at my Aunt Rida's house I labed as The Third- Floor Bedroom. I grabbed my scrap books I made and I walked down to the Liam's Library to look at books that were my favorites, I'll admit I took 10 books and of course I had a flashback,
~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~
I was walking out with ten college books in my arms and of course Liam ran into me literally again. how come I always meet him like this I thought.
~~~~~End~~~~~~
I thought of how I broke my leg because of him, and how he came over everyday to see if I was doing any better. I of course did not until 2 months later. I walked home with the books and put them in my suitcase. I put the suitcase in my wardrobe as we'll knowing if Liam showed up that he would not go in there. as I turned around I fell realizing I twisted my ankle. I screamed out in pain and of course Liam popped up as soon as it ended already picking me up and walking me to the couch. he wrapped my ankle and got out my crutches from when he broke my leg and laid them next to me just in case. All I got out of him was a "here, I have to go though so just in case, love you!" And he kissed me and left. I scoffed I know he's busy but that's it?! I lazily drifted off to sleep thinking about everything going to happen after I seal that kiss.......
