"What do you think?"I came out of the changing room for the 10th time.
"Na-uh"Sandra objected
"That's not gonna work Kayla , too ...simple"Caroline and Susie disapproved.
"Hayir"
(NO)
Aunt Yaya shakes her head.
Ahhhh...Kayla! , NO MORE
"BUT...(I breathe) , you chose all these gowns for me to try out"I say to them.
"They did , how about you go find one"Naila , the head attendant of the bridal boutique muttered to me when they were gawking at bridesmaids dresses another attendant brought in.
I excitedly nodded , rapidly changing and sneaking out of the room.
These few weeks were all about the wedding preparations , Caesar was still in Thailand and I missed him terribly.
"Don't worry Kay , you'll find the right one"I mumbled to myself as I glanced through the expensive gowns on display , touching its lovely soft fabrics.
The boutique was classy , gold chandeliers, tall vases of radiant variety of flowers , antique sofas arranged in the center and around the changing room of the boutique. One gown set apart from the rest caught my attention.
It was snow white ,sleeveless , fitting , with just the right floral embroidery designs. Thick
lace flowing from the waist down.
Whoaa
I fell in love..I needed this gown.
"I see you made your choice Miss Wills" Naila smiled , walking in on me.
"Can I?...I mean.."I couldn't stop beaming like an idiot. She laughed.
"Of course! ,let me take it off the manikin , I'll join you in the changing room. I nodded at her , eagerly rushing into the changing room , ignoring the calls of Caroline and Sandra as they held out more gowns.
Naila aided me in putting on the gown. I almost cried when I looked myself in the mirror , she smiled , shrieking excitedly. I stepped out .
I couldn't help the girlish giggle that escaped me as I heard the gasp from everyone in the room.
"Ah! , Evet, Güzel! "Aunt Yaya exclaimed , clapping her hands.
(Yes , beautiful!)
"Ahhh!.. Caesar's going to be speechless!"Caroline hugged Susie who was clearly elated.
I rolled my eyes.
Caesar's never speechless.
"You look ravishing Mahatma!!"Sandra flashed her camera at me.
"It's so beautiful"I grin , running my hands through the lace.
"Esta Perfecta"Aunt Yaya insists.
(It's perfect)

"Let me make a quick phone call darling , I'll be right back."Susie gets up from the antique sofa , sashaying away. I stare at the wall clock , groaning
We just spent half of Saturday here.
Aunt Yaya accompanied Sandra and Caroline to the Bridesmaids dresses section hours ago and they still hadn't come around.
I sighed , thinking about Caesar.
I grabbed my fluffy handbag , taking out my phone. I dialled his number , on the verge of calling when I got a message notification.
Love♥️🔥:
About to call me?..😏😉
Damn his on point guessing abilities.
Me:
😒..I want a divorce
Love♥️🔥:
☹️😮Kay
we ain't even married yet.
Me:
Well can't you guess that the woman you love wants you home?
Love♥️🔥:
Home..I love it when you say that.
I sigh again, can he not be sweet right now?
Me:
😟.
Love ♥️🔥:
...Kay?
Me:
Uh-huh 😔
Love♥️🔥:
I can't wait to run my fingers through your brown hair.♥️
Aww..Whoa whoa , Hold on , you only dyed your hair brown last night , and you sure haven't video called.
I frowned at the realization, staring back at the screen.
Then I felt him.
The slow , lazy caress of his lips along my neck registered as heat rushed down my spine.
"Hey Kay , about the divorce—"
I abruptly cut him off , bounding over to him in a second. He smirked.
"Forget the damn texts Leo"I gasped , clutching the side of his brown shirt as he brushed his lips against mine. His fingers running through my hair.
I couldn't resist a stupid smile.
He pulled back , appraising me from head to my heels.
" You dress this seductively even when I'm out of the country?"He teased , an appreciative smile on his face. I chuckled , about to throw a comeback statement when Susie walked in with Aunt Yaya and the bridesmaids
"Son !, you're finally here "Susie gave him a kiss on both cheeks , Aunt Yaya doing same.
"I didn't know you put a tracking device on Kayla , brother"Caroline joked , hugging him.Sandra waved from behind , a small gift bag in her hand.
"Don't tease your brother Kayla , I gave him the address this morning when he called"Susie chuckled.
"Are you done here?"Caesar asked.
" Ah Yes, the limo just parked at the entrance , let's get going."Susie replied.
"Kayla and I will head home together , go on without her"Caesar intertwined our fingers.
Susie grinned , Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Alright then, I'm exhausted enough"Aunt Yaya lead us out.
"Don't worry Aniya , Caroline has our dresses and your gown nicely wrapped up for the D-Day"Sandra whispers to me, handing me the gift bag.
I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Shush. It's my wedding gift , Mahatma"She winked , joining the rest in the white limousine.
A black BMW parked into the spot when the limo driver drove off. A chauffeur opened the door for us. Caesar ushered me in , joining me afterwards.
I laid my head on his lap.
"You're stessed."He commented , rubbing my arm.
"I am.It's been a rough week"I sighed.
"Sweetheart , I'm here now , you know you can open up to me"He leaned in , a smirk on his face as his eyes lingered on my slightly parted lips. I chuckled , already flustered.
The things he does to me..
