The Plan

Place Cards

"The groom isn't here yet"

These were the words my assistant told as soon as I entered the bridal room, you'd be surprised how many times I've actually heard them. Hopefully this one isn't a repeat no-show like my last event. 

"Have you called the best man?"

Their probably hungover, I mentally rolled my eyes. 

"Yes, and the mother too"

Great, now I was a glorified babysitter too. Adults acting like children on maybe one of the most stressful days of their lives was something that never seized to frustrate me. 

"Okay, I'll take care of it, just go see if the place cards have been laid out and make sure the caterer has the correct chicken this time. "

Jessica immediately rushed to the door, while I rushed out to the elevator.

I pressed the floor number, while trying to call the groom, he didn't answer.

"Patience, Eva" I reminded myself.

The elevator door opened and I immediately speed towards the room, with my copy of the room key, and not to my surprised, the groom and groomsmen were sprawled all over the room like sacks of potatoes.

I was already rushing so I obviously did the most logical thing, blasted the TV and ripped open the blinds. That woke them up alright.

" Rise and shine boys" 

Six hours later, the wedding had begun and my job had ended, and my feet were killing me. I hardly made it too my car before I had taken off my heels and thrown them in the back.

"Much better", wiggling my toes , that reminds me I need to get them done.

I was almost home when my phone began too ring, I glanced over to the floor of the passenger seat, at the same time trying to keep my eyes on the road, it didn't work.

I felt the other car slam into the back of my car.

"Shit", I can't believe this actually just happened , why me?

Getting out of my car, I noticed the driver of the other car had already gotten out and was looking at the front of their car.

" I'm so sorry, are you okay?" I said as I got closer to the driver.

" Damn, I knew women couldn't drive, but really? "  The driver more specifically a him said.

"Excuse me?" ,now I was furious , putting my hands on my hips I walked closer to him.

" You're excused, I mean you are the one who caused this," he said not even having the decency to look at me, as he continued to examine his car.

" I apologized so calm down, it was an accident," he was testing my already diluted patience.  

" Honey, I'm as calm as can be, as fun as this is we should call the police", it took every bone in my body not to slap him, I mean "honey" really?

 I was ready to answer back but he was on the phone with the 911 operator. I didn't want to get arrested for assault, yet.

So instead I walked back to car and called my insurance company. I was still on the phone when there was a loud knock on my window.

" Can I help you?" I said to the driver. Jail might be in the near future. 

" Yes, can you hurry up so I can get out of here" the nerve of this guy was absolutely unbelievably.

" Well you're going to have to wait", as I immaturely pulled up my window.

Another loud knock came again as soon as I finished.

"Really mature, hurry up the cop is waiting", I was seriously starting to process the image of me in an orange jumpsuit if this I guy didn't get out of my face.

" Well, he's going to have to wait some more," I know I was being unnecessary  but I could help it once it began. Again I rolled up my window. Then came the knock.

"Listen you son of a b-" I immediately stopped when the person on the other side of me flashed me with his flashlight. Oh shit, now you did it Eva, Orange is the New black was about to get a new cast member. 

" Excuse me ma'am , but get out of the vehicle", I immediately I got out of my car and followed the officer to where he was standing with the other driver.

"Okay now that we're all here, who wants to tell me what happened," the officer gave me a pointed look as he pulled out his pen and notepad.

"She just randomly stopped driving and I crashed into her car" I gave him a glare and suppressed the nerve to choke him. 

"I did not just randomly stop driving, you were just going way to fast" I accused.

"Honey, my grandma could have driven past you," if he " honeys" me one more time, I'll run him over.

"What is your problem? This was an accident which could have been prevented if you wouldn't drive like you were in Fast and Furious" I was being defensive now, but I didn't care.

" What are you taking about? You're insane, You're not even wearing shoes"  I had completely forgot about that detail. I had now reached a new level of frustration as those words left his mouth. 

"Okay, enough you two" the officer said with an irritated tone, same here buddy.

Both me and the guy crossed our arms as we continued to shoot glares at each other.

"It was clearly an accident, just call you're insurance companies so they can settle it," the officer said as he gave both of us a copy of the accident report and got into his police-car.

I turned and started walking towards my car, craving the idea of finally getting home.

"It was your fault and you know it" the guy yelled at me, which caused me to turn on my heels and shoot another farewell glare at him.

"Fuck you!" I yelled back and with that I slammed my car door shut.

What an idiot.
