Ecie & Esme III: Forever and a Day

Eleven

Ecie cleared her throat. 'Okay guys, are we clear on what we're going to do today?'

Everyone nodded and Ecie sighed, relived.

'Great,' she replied. 'We should probably get started now. But remember, dad and Riley can't know what we're up to, okay?'

Everyone nodded again before they got up and started collecting their things.

'What time are mom and Eric flying in?' Ross asked. 'Emily and I can pick them up then check them into the hotel quickly.'

'They're getting in at about two o'clock,' Ecie replied. 'If you guys are sure you'll be able to make it in time.'

'We'll be fine,' Emily smiled. 'Who is going to pick up our outfits for tonight?'

'Lauren and I will take care of all of that,' Ecie replied. 'Taylor, Verd and Es will be down at the venue sorting out the last minute stuff.'

'Okay then,' Emily nodded. 'That's cool. We should get going then.'

'We'll see you later,' Ecie replied. 'And remember to be back here at about nine thirty, okay? They finish filming at seven but it always takes them some time before they get back to the hotel.'

Ross nodded then tapped Emily's bottom before they left the room.

'Look at you,' Verde laughed. 'You should so become an events planner.'

Ecie laughed. 'Thank you. Did you call the photographer?'

'I did,' Verde nodded. 'I didn't realize I was so good at Spanish.'

Ecie laughed. 'You'll remember to call me if anything happens.'

'I will,' Verde nodded. 'You just have fun spending the whole day with my girlfriend while I have to hang out with the psycho lovebirds.'

'Are they still fighting?'

Verde shook his head. 'Not yet.'

Taylor kissed Esme on the lips and pushed some of her hair back.

'I know what you're thinking,' Esme smiled. 'The answer is still no. the answer is always no.'

'I know it's always no,' Taylor replied. 'Why won't you at least get a trim.'

'I like my hair the way it is,' Esme replied. 'You'll have to learn to get over it.'

Taylor shrugged. 'So you're all set for today?'

'Yep,' Esme nodded. 'E has really outdone herself with this one.'

Taylor laughed. 'Can you imagine her doing something like this for us?'

Esme looked at Taylor and smiled. 'I don't know, maybe.'

'Why are you looking at me like that?'

'Like what?'

'Like you're really happy about something,' Taylor replied. 'Did I say something?'

Esme shook her head and kissed Taylor. 'I love you.'

Taylor looked at Esme cautiously.

'I was thinking that maybe after I'm done with school, we could go travelling for a bit,' Esme said looking at Taylor's chest then up at his face. 'What do you think?

'Are you sure you'd want to?'

'Do you not want to?'

'Are you kidding?' Taylor laughed. 'I would love to go travelling for a bit with you. I just don't want you to feel forced into it.'
