The Perfect Wedding

Chapter 12

 The Atmosphere ride was a gigantic swing ride that spun up and down high in the sky. Lana rode with Evan and Fred rode alone in a seat behind them. After the ride when they were walking to meet the others Lana tried to make conversation with Evan. She couldn't believe he was all grown up now.

      "So are you excited for the wedding?" She asked.

       "I guess so," Evan mumbled.

      "What's up?" Lana asked. He seemed excited at the engagement party, so why was he so down?

      "You knew my mom right?" Evan asked.

      "Ya I've known Jen a long time," Lana smiled.

       "No like my real mom," Evan clarified. Lana was curious to where their conversation was going.

      "I talked to her a few times over the years, but I didn't know her very well," Lana told him the truth. She had polite conversations with Helen, but they weren't besties.

      "Do you think she would like the wedding?" Evan asked. Lana wondered if Jennifer and Colin ever told Evan how they got together.

      "I think she would be happy for them. Your mom and Jen got along well," Lana said. She wasn't quite sure what else to say. She would defiantly tell Jennifer about this conversation.

"Ok thank you, Aunty Lana," Evan gave her a hug. Lana looked at Fred who was beside her and he gave her a thumbs up.

      The show was amazing. There were so many different breeds of dogs. They all watched in amazement as the dogs went through obstacle courses. Jennifer was shocked by how high the tiny dogs could jump. Also, the big dogs were able to weave through the poles. Evan cheered and clapped as the dogs did their tricks. At the end of the show, Jennifer took Evan down to the floor to pet the dogs. The first one they went to was a large German Shepard that licked Evan on the hand when he patted him in the head. The next dog they went to was a white fluffy poodle. She was so tall and elegant. After playing with a few more dogs Jennifer knew that she needed to talk to Colin about getting a dog when they got back to LA. She missed having a little friend around all the time. Evan was always at school and when Colin had projects Jennifer was left alone. It would be nice to have a dog to play with. Hopefully, Colin would think it's a good idea too.

       After the show, it was time for lunch. They all walked to the rows and rows of food carts inhaling all of the divine smells. Evan begged Jennifer and Colin for a twisted potato, but they insisted that he had to eat something else too, so they decided to go to White spot. They all had legendary burgers and Evan had chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce.

      "This is so good," Evie said licking the sauce off of her lips.

      "I have missed these burgers so much," Jennifer dabbed her lips with a napkin. They threw out their garbage and went to get Evan his potato. Then it was time to go home.

      Evie paced back and forth in front of her hotel room debating if she should go inside. She had promised Jennifer that, the next time v she was alone with Daniel she would tell him about her kiss with Jared. A couple a minutes ago she was at Lana's room figuring out what she would say to Daniel. She had said her speech two times and then Lana told her to leave. Evie was overthinking this way too much. It wasn't a big deal, she just needed to be honest with Daniel. Evie waved her room key at the door and turned the handle.

      "Finally your back I am so tired," Daniel called from the bathroom. Evie questioned whether this was the time to tell him. If she was tried maybe he would overreact. "Evie?" Daniel walked out of the bathroom when he didn't hear her reply. As soon as he saw her face he knew that something was wrong. "Are you ok?" he asked.

      "Daniel I..." Evie stuttered. Her whole speech seemed to be erased from her mind. "Jared and I kissed," Evie ripped off the bandaid.

      "Oh wow, I-"

       "It was just a kiss... I didn't feel anything," Evie said.

       "I believe you," Daniel stroked her cheek.

       "I don't know what happened, but I promise you that it won't happen again," Evie started to talk very quickly. "Wait did you say you believe me?" Evie processed what Daniel had just said.

      "Yes, I believe you Evie. I trust you. I love you," Daniel mode closer to Evie and pressed his lips on hers. 

          "I love you too," Evie smiled and then kissed him back. 

      Jennifer and Colin snuggled in the hotel bed watching home renovation shows. Evan was in the other room playing on his iPad. "Any more ideas for our wedding?" Colin asked. 

      "I have been having trouble figuring out my bridesmaids," Jennifer said She didn't want any of her friends to be left out, however, she didn't want to have too many bridesmaids. Her maximum was six. 

      "Who do you have so far?" Colin asked. 

      "Ginny, Lana, Jamie, Rose, Jessica, and Julia as my maid of honor," Jennifer replied. 

      "Sounds like a good list," Colin didn't see her problem. All of the people she listed were Jennifer's closest friends. 

      "I guess, but how about Danielle, Bex, Emilie, and Stephanie," Jennifer said. 

      "You can have more than six bridesmaids," Colin said. 

      "Yeah, but six is my max," Jennifer said. 

     "Then just go with your list and just invite the other girls to your bachelor party," Colin suggested. 

     "Oh, good idea! Have you thought about your groomsmen?" Jennifer asked. 

      "Allen, Josh, Sean, Jared.." Colin didn't really have that many friends he wanted to be his groomsmen. 

      "Awesome! I love planning our wedding," Jennifer smiled. 

      "Me too," Colin said and kissed the top of her head.
