Hey y'all. I'm back so soon this time as i promised. And yes I edited a few of my older chapters because I didn't realise to give the family background of both my main characters 😭 I'm sorry about that. So for ryder's family background checkout chapter 9 and for Loren's family background checkout chapter 10. And then continue this chapter.
Thankyou.

Loren

"Can you put this balloon a little higher?" I said to the person who my mom hired from a famous wedding planner called Rothwell planners.
I went back to my parents house for the weekend. I needed to get away from the environment of san Luis Obispo for a while. It was better for me and i needed some family assistance. But there was another reason it was my brother Bryant's wedding.

He was the oldest of all our cousins at age 32. I was the youngest obviously at age 23. I only found out about their engagement a few days before the first day of college and i didn't realised how many months had passed since then And now my brother was getting married. He was marrying his childhood bestfriend Isabella. I have known her since my childhood and they look so cute together. The wedding was tomorrow and thats why the house was very chaotic.

Coming back to my childhood home in Torrance. We lived in a house that screamed countryside with a garden in the front that i played when I was small.

My mother Dr Claire smith who had been a psychoanalyst for over 10 years with years of experience build this house for us. She married my dad and came to California from Britain. I lost my dad when I was 3 so i never really saw his face properly. Since then my mom and my brother had taken care of me.

I sat down at the table clearly exhausted from all the work. I've been up since 9 am and caffeine was surely not helping. I started tapping on the table with my nails when suddenly long luscious blond hair and an elderly women sat down. My mom stroked my hair back and said with her British accent "Loren if you need to rest darling please do so. I can see you need it."
"Mommy you know how I feel about organising everything needs to perfect."
"Darling no one in this world is perfect everything and everyone has their imperfections." Yes she spoke like that to me everyday. Her therapist personality was oozing out of her.

Before i could respond to her my phone rang and Sierra's name popped up. I excused my mom and picked up the call. She said "did ur mom order the white lillies or the pink ones?"

Yes she was here with me. When I told her I was going back to my hometown she wanted to come it was just an excuse to attend Bryant's wedding cuz apparently she hasn't been to a wedding in a long time. And of course that meant Aaron was here too.
"To be safe get both."
"Okay. Got it."

I went back to the table and my mother was instructing the worker about something. When she spotted me she came towards me and said "do you know Rothwell's son is actually in your college?"
I wrinkled my eyebrows because I had no idea so i shaked my head and said "no who's his son?"
The next word nearly knocked my feet of the ground when my mother said "Ryder Rothwell." Wait so Charles Rothwell's son was Ryder? Oh my fucking god. And my mom planned the entire wedding through Rothwell planners. Great.
