The Wedding Date

Chapter 17.

Lauren woke up next to Camila. She heard the brunette slowly inhaling and exhaling, still deep asleep. It was Saturday, that means the day of the wedding. Lauren already heard Erica outside the door, nervously talking to Alexa. She should maybe get out of her bed and help Erica. She was her maid of honor anyway. Lauren glanced over at Camila, placed a small kiss on her forehead and slipped into the bathroom. She showered and hoped that the noise of the water wouldn't wake up Camila. She then got dressed and glanced back into the bedroom. Camila was still sleeping. Lauren even heard some slight snoring sounds and she laughed. She so was going to tease the brunette about her snoring later on. She tiptoed out the bedroom only to find Erica, Alexa, Keana, Ally, Dinah and Ashlee already up.

"Hey Lo." Ally said.

"The girls are going to help Erica get ready for the day of her life. We were just about to wake you up actually." Ashlee stated.

"Where's Vero?" Lauren looked around. She was the only girl that was missing aside from the sleeping Latina in her bedroom.

"We tried to wake her up, but she mumbled some cruel curses under her breath and then kicked me, so we'll just let her sleep." Ashlee mumbled.

Lauren snickered. Vero wasn't a morning person. Neither was Camila, so it would be better for everyone if they would just let the both of them sleep.

"Where's Luis?" Lauren asked.

"He slept with Troy. I didn't want him to see me before the wedding. That's supposed to be bad luck. And I want a traditional wedding. Where's Camila?"

"She's still sleeping. It might be a good idea not to wake her up. She's not a very good morning person."

"Okay, girls. We don't have a lot of time so we'll do this good. Without Vero and Camila, we are missing two pairs of hands. So everyone will have to work harder to manage everything. It is ten AM right now and the wedding starts at five pm. So that leaves us with seven hours left to arrange everything. At half past one we have an appointment with the hairdresser and then at half past two an appointment with the make up artist. The guys will arrange everything at the church itself. I hope everything is okay with the pianist and the string quartet."

Erica was rambling. Holy cow, a string quartet? Was Erica being serious? She heard that Luis's family was filthy rich, but wasn't she going a little overboard here? People in her family had whispered that that was the only reason why Erica wanted to marry Luis. Lauren didn't want to believe it at first, but Erica was kind of the person that would marry for money instead of love. But blonde really seemed to love Luis, so maybe the money was just a happy coincidence.

"The flowers should be delivered at noon at the church but my mom will hopefully be there to arrange all that. Those guys don't understand all the flowers and the arrangements." Erica's phone rang.

"Hello?" She picked up.

"Are you fucking kidding me? In seven hours a hundredth people are arriving here and they better have places to sit for fuck sake. I ordered the chairs four months ago and now you're telling me that there is something wrong with the order? Are you fucking kidding me?" Erica screamed at the other person on the line.

"Oh, you'll arrange something else? Well, that's fucking great. You don't get paid if I don't have a hundredth exact the same chairs. So do whatever you have to do. I want those chairs and you'll better arrange it. Otherwise you won't see money from me anytime soon." Erica angrily put down her phone.

"What happened?" Alexa asked quiet.

"That fucking prick apparently had a problem with the chairs. He wrote down that we needed fifty chairs instead of hundredth."
