HEYYYY, SO WE HIT #43 YESTERDAY IN THE SPIRITUAL GENRE.
yaaaay ALSO I was reading back and spotted all these comments I had never replied to and so I'm sorry if I flooded your notifications with answers to questions you asked me a loooong looong time ago I couldn't help myself (:P) I promise I will reply like immediately from now on, I do love reading all your comments and I don't think you guys realize how special you are to me, for appreciating and liking my work. You guys truly are the greatest. Remember always be BOLD or ITALIC never REGULAR.
ALSO I'm so so sorry for such a late update. So much has been going on in my life, I had no time or motivation to do anything. Hope you understand. I actually got my sister to write some of this because I just couldn't and I felt terrible for not updating for so long. But here to make up for it this is the looooongest chapter I've ever written (I think)
This will be a more relaxed kinda chapter, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter Aesthetics:
🌸🌸🌸
I watch as the next customer in line receives his order, and grumpily tells the barista that he got his name wrong. As he turns around to leave I feel like I recognize him; I come around to this coffee shop so much that I'm starting to remember all the regulars' faces.
"I think you should leave the whole thing alone," My eyes fall back on Scarlet who's sitting across from me, holding my very cold hands in her very warm ones.
"Yeah if Zayn himself hasn't mentioned it, and your mother hasn't told you anything more about it then why would you go around asking questions and stirring up trouble?" Natalie adds.
"Really?" I ask uncertainly, "But what if they do something and I don't even know about it till last minute..."
"Something like what?" Scarlet stirs my coffee for me.
"Something like bringing the entire family here and just getting us to sign the marriage documents."
"But you'll say no, they can't force you," Natalie looks at me like I'm crazy.
I almost laugh at her naivety regarding such matters in my family; the bride cannot refuse. Under any circumstances, no matter what. Unless of course she never wants to see her parents again.
"If only," I mutter under my breath and I can see Natalie opening her mouth to argue more when Scarlet shoots her a glare, making her stop. I feel bad for my best friends, their liberated minds can't fathom my predicament, they can't accept that I've got no choice in the matter and I can't accept that I do, I do have a choice.
