~ Rowan ~
In the following days, Timmy and I only got closer. In drama class we communicated through eye contact and mouthing words to each other across the room. During lunch we sat and talked about anything that was on our mind. We were friends and we liked it that way.
"Wanna come to my dads wedding?" I asked out of nowhere.
"Your dad's getting married?" Timmy asked, surprised.
"Yeah, she's nice; nothing like my mom, but she's okay."
He looked at the ground and picked at the grass.
"So I'd be your date?"
He took his attention off the grass he had tore from the ground and smirked at me.
"Well, yes, but you're not my date date," I explained, slightly blushing.
"Mhmm, but you want me to be..." He laughed as I slapped his shoulder.
I spent that week stressing over homework and the wedding. My soon-to-be stepmom was driving me up the wall with her crazy demands. It's not that I hated her or even remotely disliked her, I just wasn't ready. My mom was what tied our family together, the one that made us all happy and now she's getting replaced by some lady my dad met on his business trip two years ago.
By Friday, everything was set for the wedding, but I still had one more thing to make sure of.
rowrowan: ur still coming tomorrow right?
tchalamet: well duh I couldn't forget about my DATE
rowrowan: whatever just be here by 1 so I won't have to be alone with my new family
tchalamet: yeah okay
I woke up the next morning ready for the chaos to come. Walking down the stairs I could hear the subtle bickering between my dad and brother.
"Good morning Rowan." My dad spoke, clearly consumed in preparing a family breakfast.
"Why can't I be the photographer!?" Ferris said.
"We've been over this a hundred times, Tara wants a professional."
"I am a professional and I don't cost five million dollars!"
"Well, we already hired a guy so I guess we'll just have to pay the price."
I rolled my eyes at their conversation and sat down at the table. I ate about four pancakes before I tapped out. I had a nervous stomach for some reason, but I didn't know why. Maybe it was just the wedding, or maybe it was because Timothée was going to be there.
At around 12:30 or so I heard the doorbell ring. I raced to the door before Ferris or my dad could answer and was pleased to see Timothée standing there, suit and all, with a huge smile on his face.
"Timmy!" I said hugging him and pulling back to admire his outfit, "you look great!"
"Thanks, didn't want to show up looking underdressed or anything," he chuckled as he followed me inside.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't thee Timothée Chalamet."
Why Ferris, why?
"Uh-hi, you're Rowan's brother right?" Timothée asked, a bit caught off guard.
"Yep, that would be me; you two dating now?" Ferris pressed.
"No, just friends, don't you have stuff to do?" I asked, raising my eyebrows in a 'leave us alone' kind of way.
"Yeah, but this is better," Ferris laughed, "you know you're my sisters first boyfriend?"
I glanced at Timothée to observe his expression and I could tell that he was at a loss for words.
"We're gonna leave, thanks Ferris!"
I grabbed Timmy's hand and dragged him away to my room.
"I'm so sorry for my brother, he's so annoying!" I said in frustration.
"It's all good, he means well."
After the embarrassing encounter with my brother, I decided to get ready while Timmy watched the real house wives or something on my TV.
"Rowan!" He yelled, "things are getting heated, you need to see this!"
I but down my perfume bottle and looked at myself one more time in the mirror before stepping out of the bathroom.
"Look at this," Timothée said trying to rewind.
I walked in the room and over to my bed where he was laying.
"Are you going to play it so I can see?" I asked, but he just stared at me.
"W-wow," he stuttered.
"What?"
"You look amazing."
