Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 39 : The Clock Is Ticking, The Days Are Passing.

'No way!', I whine,'Not another one! I can't anymore! My feet and whole body are aching!'

Alice just shoved me the dress,'Put it on... besides, this is only the twenty seventh one. We still got...', she looks at a paper sheet in her hands,'A hundred and thirty eight more to go'

'Anastasia is mad. She must have bought the whole wedding store', I reply.

'Mademoiselle, she only bought barrrely one perzzent of Ze shop', Rayforénce says.

Jack Rayforènce was this supposedly number one designer in Paris who had been personally brought down here to help me choose a wedding dress as he owned a huge store in Paris.

Oh, and he likes us to call him by his last name saying it sounded more significant.

His English is rather terrible though.

'Come onza! Try thiz on!', He gestures to the dress I was holding. Alice looked at him admirably. I think she had a crush on him.

He was young for his age (23 still) and had wavy black beach curls with a slender fit and a daring like face. Typical French.

Oh and he wore gold studded boots which he seemed to be married to. Flashing it as much as he could.

He looked Gay, in my opinion.

'Fine', I reply and change into the dress. It was a white dress that seemed to have gold glitter dusted everywhere that it shined. It was too plain for my taste. A wedding gown should be the last gown a woman wears before she is married and the first gown after she is married. It symbolizes something.

'Not this', I say and shrug it off. I was wearing tights and a vest underneath so I could change and that Rayforénce can help me with the fitting.

He was going to hand me a baby blue dress when another one caught my eyes. It was hanging and left to no attention.

It was a long white dress, it was short in front but became longer from the back. It showed off my legs from front. It had a deep V neck cut (Bet it shows a lot of my cleavage) and long transparent sleeves. It too had gold dust glittered everywhere but it had soft golden embroidery in every edge as well. It was beautiful.

'How about that one?', I point to that dress.

'Zis? Didn't Mademoiselle requezt onez that iz less revealing? It showz a lot of ze front and ze bare back', Rayforénce said, taking the dress off the hanger. He twirled it around and I saw that it would show my bare back

'It's beautiful. I think Edward would love it as well. I mean, ever bachelor invited might want to marry you in the wedding', Alice commented.

'It's perfect', I say.

===========================

Half an hour later, I was in Edward's room; waiting for him to arrive. He had been dragged to a suit fitting as I was to a dress fitting.

We were supposed to leave In an hour's time to choose what cake we'd like. The flavors and stuff.

He opened the door and slumped inside. He closed it gently and froze when he saw me. He squinted his eyes,'Elena is that you? Oh my god, you've been whisked away from me too long'

I chuckle,'Yeah'

I came over to him and hugged him. His weight was pressing on me that I almost fell,'Someone's tired'

'It was tormenting... suit after suit... a few needles pricked me as well', he whined, reflecting a six year old child.

'At least our next thing to do is cake testing', I try to cheer him up. His eyes seem to brighten at that.

'I don't think they'd serve ice cream cake at our wedding right?', he asked.

'It'll melt', I reply, after rolling my eyes. He really was acting like a child if he didn't think of something as sensible and obvious as that.

He barely seemed to hear me,'I'm going to have a wash... care to join?'

'I already had one', I chuckle ,'I'm going to nap in till you finish changing'

He whined,'Lucky girl'

===========================

The amount of cakes laid before us was just mesmerizing. There were over thousands!

'There's two hundred and eighty three cakes we've laid out for your majesties. Please feel free to inspect and taste', a chef said.

Okay, it wasn't thousands but still... that's quite a lot.

'Thanks a lot ...', Edward was wanting his name.

'Chef Ryan Jay Dan', The chef filled in.

'Thanks Ryan', Edward said,'If you'll be kind enough to give me and my fiancé two forks and saucers, we'd like to begin the tasting'

Ryan beamed ,'Oh for sure!'

===========================

'I'm glad that's over. I feel queasy eating so many different cakes', I tell Edward as we finished the last cake.

We literally tried a spoon of every single cake.

'Yeah, I'm skipping dinner. I have a date with someone', Edward blurts.

That snaps me back to my senses,'Oh? And who's the person you're going out with that's not your fiancé?', I ask, angrily.

'The bathroom', he smirks and I almost killed him.

'You scared the living shit out of me', I chuckled as I playfully slap his shoulder.

'Yeah, that's the vibes you get after you meet the bathroom', he chuckles.

'What are you going? You're done with the cakes? Already? Good. You got to go confirm the dinner plans now', Anastasia suddenly startled us from behind,'Come on. The clock is ticking and the days are passing as we speak!'

'I can't wait till all the preparations are over', Edward mumbles as we stare at Anastasia's retreating figure.

I look up at him; eyes tired and droopy,'Me too'
