Iridescent

Come back to life like the light of the dawn

(A/N- This isn't my favorite chapter, but you can't win them all. It's also important to later on so it had to be written.)

If there was one task that neither individuals in the couple had been looking forward to, it was completing the seating chart. Michelle had sent them a chart based on how many people they had invited and also how they asked the tables to be set up. In the email, she mentioned getting an idea of who would sit where so that they could begin doing the place cards as soon as possible. So now, the couple say at their dining room table on a Thursday night reviewing their guest list along with the RSVP's they had already received back discussing who should sit where and with who. In the background, Mike had put on the unmastered version of his side project with his laptop. Every so often, he would make a note to something he wanted to change or fix on a notebook next to him.

Mila's phone rang on the table next to her without looking at it she put it on speaker phone as she continued to mark off the RSVP's on the list in front of her.

"Oh my god, Prima," Nikki's voice said over the line.

"Que quieres?" Mila asked highlighting another name on the list.

"First of all, it has been a while since we talked so I have stuff to catch you up on," Nikki told her getting a hummed response. "Okay, so guess who is able to keep up with me in bed? Like Prima, I am telling you the man can match me and that has never happened before. You know that swing I told you about?"

Mila realized what Nikki was talking about seconds later and also that currently, she was on speakerphone. Looking at Mike, his eyes were wide, but also wore a smirk on his face since he knew who the hell Nikki was talking about. "Nikki, we are working on our seating chart and you're on speakerphone," Mila warned her cousin.

Silence was on the other line for only a second. "Hey Mike," Nikki dragged out slowly.

"Hi Nikki, so Chester can keep up, huh?" He chuckled seeing Mila shake her head.

"Man, if you only knew," She sighed softly. "The man is essentially a sex god. A part of me is not surprised he has two kids already because god damn."

Mike looked at Mila surprised at Nikki's bluntness. Mila smirked shaking her head 'you egged it in. She has no filter'. "Nikki, as much as I love girl talk, Mike doesn't need to hear about how his best friend is a 'sex god'. So why don't we move on for now?"

"Ugh, fine. So I got transferred to another location for work. Another state needed another marketing consultant and requested me."

"That's awesome, Nik. Where are you moving? Rhode Island? Vermont? Somewhere else in New England?"

"California," Nikki said causing Mila and Mike to look at each other again.

"No shit?" Mila asked getting a confirmation over the line. "Where at?"

"Los Angeles. That's another thing I wanted to talk to you about," She mentioned with the nervousness showing in her voice. "Chester mentioned me moving in with him."

Mila was the one who looked at her fiancée with wide eyes while Mike looked neutral. She raised her eyebrow at him earning a shrug in response. 'You knew about this?' She mouthed getting a nod in response.

"Can you guys stop having a silent conversation while I'm sitting here basically asking both of your opinions on this?" Nikki said frustrated over the line.

"Lo siento. What do you want to do, Nik?" Mila asked her twirling the yellow highlighter in her hand around.

Nikki sighed. "We've been dating for six months. I love him, but is that too soon to move in together?"
