Best Friend Bucketlist

Chapter Fifty-One

When I wake in the morning I find a note in the bathroom from Josh, 'I've got a meeting with my manager. I'll see you later! Love, Josh.' I smile and get in the shower. After my shower I put on Hollister jeans, a teal blouse and a pair of toms. I head downstairs and get coffee and breakfast before I call Tiffany. "Meet me at the bakery!" She says. I hang up and grab my keys. I head to the bakery with my music up. I pull into a parking space and head to the front of the store. One word comes to mind, wow! Tiffany stands beside me, "like it?" She asks. "I love it! Did you put the stickers up?" I ask. "Yea, Hunter helped me though." She admits. I smile. We head into the store. It's exactly how I pictured it would be. Lavender gray walls, glass tables, comfy metal chairs, famous wall sayings, chalkboards with our flavors and the spiral staircase in the corner by the kitchen. "You did a really great job!" I say. She laughs, "I had help, but wait till you see our testing quarters upstairs!" She says.

We head up the spiral staircase. I stand in awe it looks so cozy, chic, elegant, yet modern. "This is great!" I say. A leather sofa sits in the corner across from a large flat screen. A brand new chrome oven is placed in the wall along with a brand new chrome refrigerator. It's a perfect place to test for new flavors. "You did a really great job Tiff!" I say. She smiles. "We need to chose a date for our Grand Opening!" She says. "Well Sophia's wedding is in two weeks. I say we have the Grand Opening before she leaves for the honeymoon!" I say. "I agree. You think next week would be ok?" She asks. "I think it would be perfect!" I say. We spend the rest of the day just looking over stuff. Making sure all the different boards look ok. We have a cake board, cupcake board, cookie board, and a pie board. We decide to call it a day And we head to my place.

When we get there I see Sophia's car parked beside Josh's. Tiff and I walk in and find Kellan, Soph, and Josh in the kitchen talking. Josh comes to give me a kiss. "We've been waiting for you!" Soph exclaims. "Sorry Tiff and I were at the bakery." I explain. "That's ok, we were just thinking that we could all go out to dinner!" Josh says. "Hunter is on his way, Tiffany." Soph says. Tiff smiles and us girls head upstairs to get dressed. We find three brand new dresses sitting on the bed with heels. We all get dressed. I'm in a simple black sherri hill lace dress with a pair of nude pumps. I put on bright red lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow and wait for the other girls. Soph comes out in an emerald green dress that matches her eyes and Tiff comes out in an Aqua sherri hill cross stitch tulle dress that really makes her eyes pop. We come down the stairs to find our men looking more handsome then ever. "Wow!" Is all they can say.

We head to a fancy restaurant and surprisingly paparazzi are nowhere to be seen. We have a romantic dinner, we talk about Sophia's wedding, the bakery, josh and kellan's careers along with Hunters new music. We have a great time at dinner. But the night must come to an end. Sophia and Kellan head home, as well as Tiffany and Hunter. "Let's go for a walk along the beach then head home." Josh suggest. I smile, "sounds perfect!" I say. We walk hand in hand along the beach, the sand is still warm from the sun that is now setting. Small waves come crashing at our feet. I look over to see Josh smiling. "What?" I ask. "I'm just thinking." He says. "What're you thinking about?" I ask. "How did I get so lucky?" He asks. "What do you mean?" I ask. "How did I get so lucky to have a wonderful career, a beautiful wife? How did I get so lucky?" He says. "I ask myself that question everyday. How did I go from a small town girl, to traveling the world with my best friend then meeting you! Then having one of my biggest dreams come true." I say. "What dream is that?" He asks still staring into my eyes. "To marry you!" I say. He smiles and leans down so just our noses are touching. "I love you so much!" He whispers. "I love you to-" but I'm cut off by his lips touching mine and closing the gap. I smile against his lips. We break apart and walk hand in hand back to the car to head home.

I crawl into bed and Josh lays beside me. "I don't really know what I would do without you! Thinking about my life without you is impossible!" He whispers. "Every love story Is beautiful, but ours is by far my favorite!" I say kissing him. I know at this point he has a smile on his face, "I love you babe!" Is the last thing I hear before falling into a deep slumber.
