Ooh girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style

Ranveer and I were expecting them to be at my aunt's boutique but they are already done with that. Strange. They figured it out so quickly. I am sure it's all Arianna's doing. At least she could have pretended to be excited and take a little longer to pick. But no, that minx must have chosen the most expensive one and let my mom pay.

I shook my head in fury, I thought we could be something other than two people bound by a contract marriage, at least develop some sort of friendship. I have never gone down on my knees to propose to a girl. Hell, even my promposal was a nightmare for every teenage girl. I asked who wants to go and every girl present at the lunch table raised their hands. I only had a sangria-colored tie at that time, so I told them whoever could find the matching dress can come with me. The word spread and our high school prom looked like we had a fucking color code. Expecting the possibility, other guys had also got similar ties suspending down their necks.

Apart from Arianna's disinterest, what had me puzzled was the smitten look on Mrs.Schneider's face. I can't help but agree that Arianna really is special. Mrs. Schneider is a difficult woman, hard to please. She calls all her clients bridezilla.

"Oh, Axel darling you got a gem. She is simply amazing, you are a lucky man. I never imagined you getting married so early and that too to an angel, like Arianna. Ranveer, my boy you must learn something from him. I think it's time for you to tie the knot as well." She spoke, pulling our cheeks. The bride-to-be and her friends looking for a gown giggled at us. And we walked out, our face flushed in embarrassment.

Ranveer's honey-colored cheek tinged red. He doesn't believe in whoring around and has maintained the titles since college. But I'm still notorious due to a certain someone. However the people I'm close with know who I am and the gossip articles do not define me. And definitely not the wannabes clinging to me for photos.

"I was excited to see your bride-to-be but now I am curious. She charmed Daphne" Said Ranveer with all honesty. I didn't answer him, and he exhaled a deep sigh like he was flustered with me but didn't prod the topic further. And when did he and Mrs. Schneider come on a first-name basis.?

We hunted for Arianna and my mom in all the luxury brand stores but didn't find them. I was about to call off my 'mission surprise' When my eyes got a hold of the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She was standing really far so I made my way towards her, my feet were moving automatically as if they were obeying my heart. As though feeling my presence, she turned completely and looked in my direction. I could feel in my heart that she is feeling the same pull as I do.

Ranveer was saying something, but I tuned it out. I was only a few feet away from the angel in front of me when I heard the most cringe-worthy voice that would put Janice Hosenstein to shame.
