Why would Unknown send me a wedding dress? I picked up the dress and saw a letter underneath.
Dear Mireille, We congratulate you on your wedding day. Hope you have an amazing day.
From: Elizabeth Lambert Designs & Personal Styling.
Eill's wedding? With who? Apparently I have to find out tomorrow. What am I supposed to do with this then?
"Spencer? Can you call Nati?"
"Yes, miss"
A few minutes later, Nati walks into the room. She looks bored but her face lights up when she sees the wedding dress.
"No way. With who? Oh my god, can I be a bridesmaid?" Nati exclaimed.
"Wow, Wow, calm down. I'm not having a wedding. Someone just sent me this. It's for Eill. Do you know anything?"
"EILL?!? No I don't. Why did they send it to you? Why not Eill? And who is she marrying?"
"Um..... I don't think she is marrying anyone. She would have told us. I think this is all a joke. I'm gonna keep the dress for now. If Eill did buy this she will come for it."
"Ok, tell me if there is a wedding. I'll see you." Nati said and walked out the door.
I hope Eill isn't in trouble.
The next day, Eill shakes me awake.
"Hey sleepyhead. Wanna have breakfast? I'm starving." Eill whispers.
"Sure, what time is it?"
"It's 9:48. We need to have breakfast, then we have a meeting and after I am meeting up with a friend."
"What time are you meeting up with your friend?" I asked hoping it wasn't the time Unknown sent me.
"Four, why?"
Unknown is right. How did he or she find out?
"Just asking. Let's go eat."
As the day drags on, I'm getting anxious. Half of me can't wait to see who it is. The other doesn't want to. What if it's something bad? What will I do then?
Before I know it, it is quarter to 4. I quickly put on my coat and head to the Seattle Aquarium. As I get there, beside the door is a woman holding a sign with my name. I walk up to her. "Are you Alex? Unknown asked me to give you this." She hands me a ticket for the aquarium and a letter and runs off. I walk inside and read the letter.
Alex, Missed me? Go to the sharks. There sit on a small bench at the end. When you see her. Follow her. Unnoticed. She will walk around and then go out. There, watch her carefully. HE will be waiting for her. Unknown Xxx
I followed the instructions and went inside. There were lots of people in the sharks part. But I spotted her right away. Eill wore a red, really noticeable coat. She walked around and looked at the sharks. As soon as she looked at her phone, she walked out quickly. I followed her.
Outside, Eill stopped beside the pier and leaned on the railings. About a couple of feet away, a man with a dark hood walked slowly towards her. That must be him. She saw him and ran into his outstretched arms.
When they hugged, I managed to get a glimpse of the mans face. He was handsome. But I'd seen him somewhere before. Eill and the man talked for about ten minutes and then they waved goodbye and he walked away. She watched him go and then walked to her car.
This was really strange. I went back home. I know that man. But I can't remember him. He is very familiar like I'd seen him before.
When I get home, Eill isn't there. In a few minutes, she walks in.
"Where were you?" I asked her, hoping she would tell me everything.
"I was getting coffee with one old friend. Her name is.... um.... Lisa. We were...... um.... we went to school together." She lied.
"Um... Lisa? We went to school together and I don't remember a Lisa."
"Yeah. Um.... she went to school with me in Spain. What about you?"
She lied. That man was a secret even her best friend couldn't know about. Somewhere in that moment I doubted our friendship. I tell her everything. That man has a bad vibe.
"I went to get some coffee and relax." I told her. A lie for a lie.
Just then Kate walks in. She is nearly in tears.
"Kate, are you ok? What's wrong?" I ask.
"Jake..... Jake posted on Instagram..... a picture..... with his sister. And he said in the caption..... Wish I loved my sister as much as I love Sarah."
"Kate, maybe you're over thinking. Maybe Sarah is his cousin or sister or something. It doesn't have to be a girlfriend."
"It is. I know it is." Kate said and burst out crying. I hugged her. In this moment, I'm thankful that I have no serious relationship. I don't want to experience the feeling she is going through. I know all too well how it feels like. I've experienced them, except the difference is, I've experience being left out and ignored in a friendship, not in a relationship.
"Hey, don't cry. Wanna go get pizza? Never mind. One pizza won't make anything better. Let's get three pizzas, four burgers, and four Starbucks? Sound good? Eill your coming also. We need the support."
"That is awesome." Eill exclaimed. We got Kate cleaned up and went for the pizza. To shorten it, IT WAS AMAZING. Pizza heals nearly all wounds. And in no matter of time, Kate was laughing. Nati joined in after she came back from work. That's what you call a perfect girls night out.
Afterwords we went home. We didn't sleep tho. We laughed and danced all night. Watched movies and listened to music. Nothing was as amazing as that night.
There was only one bad thing on my mind. Eill. I hope everything will be alright. I hope that man she is with, I hope he isn't dangerous. And Unknown.... how did he or she know? And what will happen? I only knew one thing- I needed to find out who the man was.
