That Was Then, This Is Now

Part 21

I've never been a morning person, especially not a Monday morning and definitely not a Monday morning where I have to get ready for a label brunch. I'm still living in a hotel but Gary said that hopefully by the end of next week I can move back home. I'm not very happy with happy Gary. Him and jack have now developed this brilliant idea that Tim and I should go on tour together, like old times. No. No. No. there's a knock at the door and I go to let in the makeup and stylist teams that have arrived for He brunch, I mean it takes an army.
"So, I saw that you and Tim did coffee and lunch yesterday?" Asks Niamh, who's doing my hair. I've used this same glam team for a few years now and we're very close so I feel comfortable around them, and Gary made them all sign NDAs.
"Yeah, we did." I say.
"How was it?" Asks Caitlin who's painting my nails.
"It was nice." I say. "But I think it's to nice. He's to easy to fall back in love with." I hear them all gasp slightly. "I don't mean I am in love with him again right now, I just mean that if I continue getting this close to him I might be." I explain. My phone rings and Jules passes it to me. I see my brothers face in the screen.
"Hey bro." I say mimicking his frat boy phase.
"Hey Faith!" He says sounding too happy for a Monday morning.
"How are the nerves. T minus 5 days till you become someone's husband." I say to him.
"I know isn't that crazy! That's actually what I wanted to call you about. Are you still bringing Scott?" He asks.
"No, we actually broke up." I say.
"Yeah I thought so, I mean that's what it looked like in TMZs Instagram but I didn't want to make an assumption." He laughs.
"I get it, my life's a mess." I say.
"Besides that, I got a text from Tim who was congratulating me on the wedding and I was hoping to invite him last minute, could you just bring him as your plus one? Pleassseeee sissy?" He asks.
"Uhhh." How can I say no? How could I deny my brother the presence of his friend in his wedding day. "I'll ask him when I see him." I sigh.
"Thank you!" He says. "I gotta go, let me know. Love you."
"Love you too." I say hanging up. "I have to take tim to a wedding" I groan.

I arrive at the label brunch expecting it to be a small gathering, but rather it appears to be every single label company in Nashville. I read the signs and quickly gather that this a charity function that label company's are invited to. I get out of the car and see Tim waiting by the entrance. I guess today is just the beginning of butterflies in my stomach for the next 24 hours. I up for female vocalist of the year tomorrow at the cmas and no doubt people will be asking how I feel.
"Hey you." He says as I approach. "You look lovely." He compliments me.
"Thanks." I say trying not to be effected. I need to shake this. Tim and I seated together with a few different exects and other fancy people. I just hope this finishes quickly. Half way through I realise I need to ask Tim about Wesley's wedding.
"Tim?" I ask softly.
"Mmh." He says attentively.
"Do you have anything planned for this weekend?" I ask.
"Uh no." He says. "Why? Do we have another interview? Please let it be Ellen." He laughs.
"No nothing related to the public, Wesley called and said he got your text."
"Oh really. That's great." He says happily.
"Would you like to come to the wedding with me this weekend as my plus one?" I ask.
"Yes! I would love too." He says. Smiling at me.
