Love Me

"I can't believe you aren't excited for your own wedding." Emma exclaimed, as she handed me another dress to try on.

After house hunting with Shawn, his mother, my mom, Alena, and Emma picked me up to take me dress shopping for the wedding. It was scheduled to be in 5 days. I was nervous, but not excited.

Right now, Alena, my mom, and Shawn's mother were walking around the boutique looking for more dresses for me to pass to Emma, who would keep passing them to me try on.

"What should I be excited for?" I shrugged, putting on the dress Emma had handed to me

"I don't know? You're getting married, that's like every girls dream day." Emma spoke up as I zipped up my dress.

I walked out of the dressing room with the dress on, showing it to Emma.

"Looks cute, too many ruffles though." Emma spoke in distaste. At that moment, mom, Alena, and Shawn's mother, walked up to us with dozens of dresses in their hands.

"Oh lord." I sighed.

•••

"Thank you so much Mrs Mendes." I said, hugging her.

We'd spent almost the entire day shopping for a dress for my 'big day'. We found the perfect dress and matching accessories with it. Emma and I decided on the colour for the bridesmaids dress too. Since Emma and Alena are the only girls I know, they'd be my bridesmaids. Along with Shawn's sister, Aaliyah.

"Call me Karen." She spoke with a smile that almost resembled Shawn's.

Snap out of it!

After our goodbyes, mom, Alena, Emma, and I walked into my house, finding dad sitting there watching tv. Emma and I quickly grabbed platefuls of dinner for ourselves and walked upstairs.

We dumped the dozens of bags into my mother's room for her to sort them out, and then walked to my room, closing the door behind us.

"So, why haven't I seen your man yet?" Emma asked me, chewing on some pasta.

"I thought you already seen pictures of him, we went out this morning, there were a ton of pictures uploaded to social media by the paparazzi's" I explained, crinkling my brow in confusion.

"Bitch you know i have no social life whatsoever right now." Emma exclaimed , throwing a pillow at me, which I dodged.

"Oh yeah the whole I don't believe in sitting in front of a screen for hours and stuffing my nose in other peoples business phase you're going through." I smirked, wanting to annoy Emma.

"Shut up. It's a great phase." Emma blushed, embarrassed, and continued to jab at her pasta.

"NAT, SHAWNS HERE." I heard Alena shout from downstairs. Emma looked up at me with a smirk and my eyes widened.

Together we ran to the door, Emma fighting me to open the door first. She finally pushed me away, opened the door and fled down the stairs.

"Emma!" I shouted, running after her. I ran as fast as I could. I spotted Emma standing near the entrance with a smirk on her face. I smirked even more and jumped to catch her.

In a split second, she moved to the side, revealing a familiar tall man. Before I could stop my legs, I crashed into a hard chest.
