Pauletta was extremely excited, today was a huge day for her, she was going to Roula's cousin's big fat Greek wedding and she couldn't wait to get her hands on the koufetta!
"Sit still letta, you're making me nervous and I won't be responsible if I burn your hair!" Roula turned the curling iron and held it in place for a few seconds. When she released it, Pauletta's golden hair bounced in a curl before it dropped on her shoulders, and glided down her back. "Why don't you cut this crazy hair, It would be easier to manage! It's already down to your waist, how are you even able to manage the tangles after a wash is besides me!"
Pauletta wasn't even paying attention to Roula's rambling, her mind was on the handsome warrior that she hoped to see as soon as she places the koufetta she will steal from the church under her pillow.
"Um hello?" Roula yelled, and tugged on a strand of Pauletta's golden hair? "What the hell girl, pay attention to what I am telling you and stop spacing off to lala land! Today is a very important day, George is going to be at the wedding and you had better be attentive and polite! Don't embarrass me, I went to a lot of trouble to get my cousin to invite him to the wedding just so you two can meet each other, you need a date for the dance next week Pauletta, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you skip out this time!"
Pauletta sighed, Roula was much too demanding, but she meant well
Roula nudged her on the shoulders, "Girl you listen to me, if you fauck this up I will be mad at you forever!"
Pauletta rolled her eyes, "Shut up! You just want me to meet George because he is Stevens brother and you want an excuse to be around him! You think I don't know that you are crazy about him? He's all you talk about and I for one think that you should tell him how you feel!"
Roula rolled another strand of hair around the curling iron, "I can't do that, he's already seeing this other chick from the office, and she is much too beautiful for me to compete with."
"Is there a ring on her finger?"
"No, but he is crazy for her!"
"He told you that?" Pauletta asked.
"Not in so many words, but I could tell by the look in his eyes when ever he talks about her. Remind me next time not to be any man's best friend anymore, it really sucks Pauletta, I love him, and he doesn't care for me!"
"You don't know that!" Pauletta argued, "You are a beautiful woman and I am positive he has feelings for you!"
Roula finished with Pauletta's hair and placed the curling iron on the sinks counter. "Hurry now, we are running extremely late!" She said as the both of them ran to the bedroom to get dressed.
***********
The Grand Ball room at the Crystal Palace was elegant and by far the most beautiful room Pauletta had ever seen. Roula's aunt and uncle spared no expense, and had made sure that their daughter got a princess wedding.
"Wow, your cousin Katina is one lucky bride!" Pauletta had said when she heard the groom pour his heart out during his speech to his bride. Even Pauletta swallowed a lump in her throat when the groom was giving his speech and openly spoke of the love he felt for his bride.
"I will love you forever!" He had said, as he wiped a tear from his eyes.
Pauletta was over emotional, all her life she had dreamed of finding the right man to fall in love with and get married. Without realizing it, she opened her purse, slipped her hand inside and searched for the koufetta to make sure that they were still there.
When the ceremony had ended and the bride, groom, and the entire bridal party were busy taking pictures inside the church, and the guests were waiting outside for them with the rice and rose petals in their hands, Pauletta had snuck back in the church to steal three blessed koufetta from the silver tray.
