The Big Day: Italy
The wedding day was as hectic as it could get. There were hair stylists and make up artists taking up as much space in my room as possible. We were all getting prepared for the day.
Once hair and makeup were done, we all headed into the truck to travel to the church. We were led to a back room, so we could get dressed. After everyone else was dressed, I was instructed to put on my gown. It was nearly two o'clock now, the wedding was scheduled to start around two-thirty. My stomach held butterflies as I was tied into my dress.
"You look beautiful." the girls cooed
Carla came into the room and approved of my look, but did not seem as happy as I thought she would be.
"What's wrong?" I asked her
"Well...we're going to have to delay our start time a bit."
"Why?" I asked frantic
She didn't say anything, so I looked to Gabi.
"What's going on?" I asked her in a stern voice
She stared at me for a while, before taking a deep breath.
"Well, Giovanni isn't here yet." she stated
"I'm sorry, what? How isn't he here, the wedding is starting soon?"
"He hasn't made it yet." Gabi added
"Well call the hotel and tell him to come."
"He's not at the hotel." Carla interjected
"So where is he?" I asked confused
"They never came back from Mexico." Carla explained
I didn't say anything back. I just stared into the mirror.
"We've tried calling, but..." Carla started
"They haven't answered." Gabi finished
"Why didn't you say anything last night?" I asked angry
"Because we thought they would have made it here by now..." Carla explained
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes as I exhaled.
"Get me my phone." I demanded
Everyone scrambled to find it. Once it was placed into my hand, I called Langston. He answered on the first ring.
"Hey-" he spoke
"He better be dead." I said bluntly
"He is not, but-"
"Where is he?" I asked him
"He is right here. You want to talk to him?" he asked cautiously
"No. Where are you?"
"We're twenty minutes away."
"You have twenty minutes to be here and dressed."
"But-" Before he could respond, I hung up.
Everyone in the room was looking at me for direction.
"They'll be here in twenty minutes." I announced
No one said anything. They just all stared at me.
"Can someone please go entertain my guests?" I asked harshly
"I'll go." Carla volunteered quickly
As soon as she was out of sight, I closed my eyes, with my fists balled.
