Engaged To An Rockstar

The Dress Fitting

I woke up this morning seeing everything in a bright light in a better day it's seems like all the worries, all the doubts, all the little insecurities that I was feeling just seems to vanish in a instant. Because today is the day for the wedding dress fitting. 

''Oh my gosh Ashley'' Camille said ''You look stunning'' she hold the end of the dress as I glance at the mirror. The dress is white of course but was too long for my liking but Camille is right it's does look stunning as the rime stones shimmer with every move I make but mainly I looked at myself seeing how I changed over the years as soon I would be Mrs. Ashley Hayes and I'm beyond excited for that day to come. I turned around to Mom whose was sitting on the sofa trying not to cry as she wipe the tears away, instead she simile and blow me a kiss.

I glance back in the mirror ''I take it'' I said

After the dress fitting as everybody left to do other things I went to a nearby café and there he was. My Father. I would say that he change in just a matter of months his beard looks almost like a caveman as it's haven't been shaved in months, but his clothes looks clean as usual he wears a suit. As I sat across from him I caught a weft of his cologne.

''Ashley'' he said with a small simile ''I'm surprised you show up but glad'' he glance at the menu and signaled for the waitress to come

''So how's the wedding planning?'' he asked

''How are you?'' I asked instead

He glance at the window for a brief second then looked at me probabley wondering when did his life go wrong.

He sighed ''I'm getting there'' he remove his sunglasses ''One step at a fucking time'' he mumbled

''Hi sorry I'm late what would you guys like?'' the waitress asked

''I would have just your best coffee'' he said

The waitress nodded as she write his order on a pad and walked away

''Well How's work?'' I asked

''It's fine minus the fact that reporters are asking about your mother and I non-stop but like I say it's takes one step at a fucking time'' he similes

To be honest me and my Dad never quite gotten along because when your dad is a movie producer, director and actor is little hard to even fit in his schelduce.

''So I would say that I'm surprised you even invite me here or better yet even know my phone number'' I said while glancing at the window 

Dad sighed ''Ash I know and I deserve every sarcastic remarks you throw at me'' he similed ''And I understand how this might be hard for you, Camille and even Adam'' ''Hell it's been hard for me too'' he mumbled ''But no matter what the media or even people say were still a family and I still love you'' 

''Dad I know'' I replied as the waitress place our food on the table ''I'm 26 not 16'' as I took a bite of my sandwich 

''I know but I'm just telling you I don't want that same repeat of the events happening the last time'' 

I slowly nodded my head as that memory unfolds 

I lay on my bed glancing at the dark sky trying to distract myself nearby my parents was arguing loudly, so loudly that you could hear everything their saying as their room was across the hall. 

''Are you fucking kidding me? How could you blame me out of all people?'' Mom yelled 

''Well your the one that decide to bring this all to the public saying that we're separated'' Dad yelled back

''Because we are but to blame me for what you did'' she sighed ''Is unlike you Richard'' she whispered

Dad sighed ''Em look I-''

''No'' Mom shouted '' Don't you dare try to charm your way out of this one. You promise on the day you propose that you wouldn't let this Hollywood life affect you, affect us''

''And it haven't'' Dad shouted

''But it have because every time I get emails from my friends, from networks about the shit you have done and I'm done trying to cover this up and I'm done of you hurting our children, so when you have come to your senses then let me know'' I heard the door slam followed by heavy footsteps from my bedroom window I could see Mom standing at the sand from the beach as she sighed heavily while looking that the dark sky with twinkling stars. 

The next day after that Mom woke me up early as she packed up my suitcase along with her as we quickly got in the car heading to god knows were. I glance out the window seeing Dad standing by the driveway with his hands in his pockets looking at me with a little tear sliding down his face.
