Chapter 23
"He was what?" Callie interrupted me.
"He was drunk, are you deaf?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Anyway, he was drunk talking, and he spoke like yoda."
"Is he legal?" Jamie asked, eyebrows raised.
"Yes," I groaned. "he's a week older than me, so yes."
"Wow, you picked him up.... in like 3 am? How come we didn't hear you?" Holly asked, thoughtfully.
"You were sleeping like a log, of course you wouldn't hear." I scoffed.
"What's the 411, ladies?" Aunt Gina asked, sitting down on the breakfast table with us.
We shared a look, silently agreeing to not tell her what happened. "Nothing, mom. just catching up, you know.." Jamie immediately said, smiling slightly.
"So you guys going to do any shopping?" She asked.
"Yes," Holly and Callie automatically answered.
"Do we have to?" I asked pouting. "I have so much clothes upstairs I barely need shopping."
"Hello Valerie! I have good news!" Kristine sang, walking towards us.
"Hey, Kristine." I smiled and kissed her cheek. "What's up?"
"Oh, right! The good news. Nanna and the girls are coming over!" She grinned, "plus Cole."
"Wait, who's Cole?" I asked, puzzled.
"Cole is Dawn's little brother."
"Oh, right! The ring bearer."
"Yes," she nodded and smiled. "Right, they'll be here in fifteen minutes so whenever you want to see them, they're in the Blakewood mansion."
"Alright, bye!" I waved and went back to the table.
"That's your mother-in-law?" Jamie asked.
I nodded. "She seems nice to you," Holly added, looking at me strangely.
"Yeah, aren't mothers-in-law mean and bitchy?" Callie asked.
"Aunt Gina, is your mother-in-law bitchy?" I asked.
"No, she's really nice in fact." She replied.
I gave them a 'see-what-I-mean' look. "I'll just change into something more presentable. I'm meeting Hunter's family." I say, standing up and wiping my mouth with my napkin.
I went to my room and pulled off my jeans and tank top. Now what do I wear? Something presentable.. and something casual. I don't wanna look too classy or too canny. I opted for a simple semi-see through top, denim shorts, flats, and gold earrings. I applied lip gloss, blush, and mascara just to look more full of life. I've been looking like a zombie because of how late I got to sleep last night. The girls and I talked up until 2 am and after an hour or so, hunter drunk called me. So basically I had lack of sleep.
"Where are you going, sweetie?" Mom asked as i rushed past by her.
"I'm off to the Blakewoods to se Nanna, bye!" I yelled and closed the door after me.
Walking was not an option. It would take me ages to get there, considering the length of our lands. Yipes, no. I went to the garage and took my Ferrari out. Yes, people, i have one so Hunter didn't exactly need to boast because I have one too. I drove out of harried Fields and entered Blakewood Estate after five minutes. Imagine that if I walked. How long would I take? Plus, I would be melting by now. I parked the car beside Hunter's Ferrari and pocketed my car keys and got out of the car. Seems like Nanna hasn't arrived yet. I rang the doorbell and after a few minutes, Hunter opened the door and let me in.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I'm waiting for Nanna, Daw, and Daphne with Cole." I replied. "So how's the hang over?"
He shrugged, "S'okay. I've gotten worse."
I laughed, "bet you have."
The door flung open and Dawn and Daphne ran and crashed into me, knocking me in the process. "Valentine! Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!!" Daphne shrieked.
"The wedding's next month right?" Dawn asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, you guys excited?"
"Well, I wanted to be a bride's maid but... " Daphne trailed off.
"Oh, I'm sorry Daphne. My friends are the brides maids, but we can change your titles into junior bride's maids right?" I smiled.
"But you already sent the invites." She pouted.
"Don't worry about that. Whenever someone asks you what position you're in, tell them you're a junior bride's maid." I improvised.
They both beamed and nodded.
"So where are you going to live when you're married?" Dawn asked.
I froze. I never thought about that.
"We're going to live in our own house, of course." Hunter answered.
"We are?" I asked and raised my eyebrow.
"Well.. we can.. go get an apartment first." He inserted.
I nodded, "perhaps we should go slower, Hunter. We're still going to college."
He gave me a sheepish smile and nodded.
"They're so adorable, just look at them!" Daphne squeaked, grabbing Dawn's arm and shook it.
Dawn, to my surprise, added "I know right! I'm so excited for them to get married."
"Oh dear, and how do I fit in here?" A very familiar kind voice asked.
"Nanna!" I gave her a warm hug which she returned. "You can stay in our manor if you don't like it here."
We laughed at my little joke. But honestly, I was half meaning it. Maybe grandma would like some company.
"Girls, you're finally here." Kristine smiled and gave them kisses on their cheeks. "Where's Cole?"
"Here!" A cute little boy said, running into the living room.
"Is this him? He's so adorable!" I grinned, "hi, my name's Valentine."
"I'm Cole." He replied.
I wanted to hug his body close to mine, he was too cute.
"Oh, by the way... we have gown fitting tomorrow, girls. You too, Val." Kristine said.
"But I don't wanna!" I whined. "The corset's killing me."
"The pain for beauty.. you'll get used to it." She said.
"What are the color of the gowns?" Dawn asked.
"It's lavender with a bit of rainbow colors." I replied.
"What about me?" Cole asked.
"Darling, you're wearing a white suit." I knelt on his level. "Would you like that?"
"Would I look like Hunter when i wear a suit?" He asked.
I looked up at Hunter, "yes." I finally answered. "You will."
He threw his arms around me, making me smile from ear to ear. He was too adorable for his sake.
Author's Note.

Scary, I bet. So that's basically it. For the next chapter, more relatives will be revealed and the wedding gown will be shown, so stay tunned. Bye guys.. don't forget to
