Come Closer Baby.

Chapter 22

I woke up and looked at the clock. It was 9.37am.

"Babe! We're going to be late to Gloria Jeans, we have to meet Samantha in 20 minutes!" I shook him awake.

"No, stay here with me," He pulled me into his grip and I couldn't let go.

"Stop! You can be with me... at Gloria Jeans, lets go!" I laughed. I pulled myself out of bed dragging Eman with me. He made a huge thud on the ground.

"OW!" He yelled.

"That's what you get, now come on!" I pulled him off the ground and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I put on a high waisted floral skirt with a plain black singlet. Eman was still sitting on the bed.

"Get dressed!" I yelled. I pulled out a pair of shorts and a black singlet for him to wear.

"Here, put these on, put on your black vans, let's go!" I threw the clothes at him. He started to undress and I put some money into a purse. Eman finished dressing himself and we hopped downstairs.

"We're out, bye!" I yelled to Paulie in the kitchen. He gave us a wave and Eman drove us to Gloria Jeans. We entered and Samantha was sitting at a booth.

"Sam!" Eman gave her a big hug.

"Eman! I haven't seen you in ages!" She smiled,"I'm guessing this is your lovely fiance!" I gave her a small hug.

"Hey, i'm going to order breakfast, do you want anything?" I tugged on his arm. He wanted a large hot chocolate.

"Would you like anything Samantha?" I asked politely.

"No thanks, i just ordered, thank you for offering!" She was so nice! She was going to be perfect as our wedding planner.

"Hey, can i get a large hot chocolate with 2 marshmallows, one large white hot chocolate with 3 marshmallows and one slice of banana bread?" I asked the cashier.

"What was your name?"

"Bec," I answered. She typed in my name and i handed her my money. I took out my Frequent Sipper Card and got it stamped. One more stamp and i get a free regular drink! I went back to the table and sat myself next to Eman.

"So, do we have a date?" Samantha asked.

"August 23rd," Eman and I said together. I looked at him and smiled.

"Venue?" She asked.

"We're still deciding... we also need to organize - food, entertainment, decor, guests and invitations," I sighed.

"That's alright! That's why I'm here!" Samantha chirped.

"Order for Bec!" The worker called. I got up and grabbed our food. I set the hot chocolate down infront of Eman. He picked it up and took a massive sip. I opened my lid and picked out the marshmallows. They were all creamy and melted in my mouth. I picked at the banana bread.

"Do you have any ideas on where you want the ceremony?" Samantha was writing things down in a notebook.

"What do you think?" I asked Eman.

"I was thinking Bicentennial Park, it means a lot to me, my parents were married there," He smiled. I had to be married there.

"We're getting married there then!" I smiled back at him. I gave him a little peck. I knew I made him very happy.

"Bicentennial Park, got it... Reception? Any favourite restaurants of yours?" Samantha looked up from her notebook.

"JORDANS!" We said together. Jordans was this beautiful seafood restaurant in the city. Eman had taken me there once and it was amazing!

"Great! So wedding ceremony at Bicentennial Park and reception at Jordans! Sounds lovely. I'll give them both a call and i'll get back to you. I should get going, i have some errands to run. Bye guys! I'll call you when we need to see each other again!" Samantha walked out of Gloria Jeans.

"This is coming together nicely!" I smiled. I took a sip of my white hot chocolate. It was heaven in a cup.

"You got a little milk moustache!" Eman laughed. He used his thumb to get the milk off and licked it off his finger.

"Hold on, you do too," I leant in and licked his lips clean. He hooked onto my lips and gave me a kiss.

"You cutie!'' He tapped my nose. I blushed and took another sip of my drink. I ate the rest of the banana bread.

"Come on, let's get back, we'll take our drinks back with us," I left the plate on the table and we took our cups into the car. I put them in the little cup holders Emans car had. We turned on the radio and what song came on?

"OMG OMG OMG OMG ! LEAVE IT ON!  ITS YOU GUYS!" Sexy and You Know It blared through the speakers. We spent the whole ride home dancing and singing inside the car. We were home before the song ended. I made Eman drive around the block until the song ended.

"WOOOOO!! GO JUSTICE CREW!" I yelled out the window. I got a few cheers from girls that were standing on the sidewalk when I yelled out. The song ended and we pulled into the driveway.

"Now that was fun!" I smiled. Eman opened my door for me and I stepped out. We opened the door and Jodie and Lenny were there.

"Hey, Bec, we've got really exciting news..." Jodie smiled at Lenny. Both of them seemed over the moon.

"What?! Tell me!!" I sat down next to her on the couch.

"BEC IM PREGNANT!" Jodie screamed.

"OMG! THAT'S INCREDIBLE NEWS! Whens the baby due?" I asked.

"July 12th 2012!" She said happily.

"Wow! Jodie that's amazing! Congratulations you guys!" I gave her and Lenny a hug.

"Awh! Len! You're going to be a father!" I squeezed him tight.

"I know!" He squeezed me back. I was so happy for them both.

"Lets hope my baby bump isn't too big by the wedding! I'll have to get my dress altered!" Jodie laughed.

"OH! That reminds me, we need to go bridesmaid dress shopping... We'll do that once we figure out colour schemes and that," I smiled.

I couldn't believe Jodie and Lenny were going to be parents! I am so incredibly happy for them.

"Jodie! AHHH! You're pregnant!" I hugged her again.

"You're the godmother/aunty/babysitter!," she laughed at me.

"I would be honoured!" I gave a dramatic bow.

"Let's call the rest of the boys and girls over!" Lenny suggested.

"BARBECUE!" Eman yelled.

This was time for celebration, this was going to be the best 2 years of my life.

DISCLAIMER - You guys know that Eman's parents never really got married at Bicentennial Park. I just needed it for the story. I have no idea about their personal lives. It is only purely coincidental if any of this information is true.

FYI Jordans is a seafood restaurant that was located in the city in Sydney, however it closed down. That restaurant was the bomb...
