" Mahatma?"Sandra finally arrives at the Elite Hotel.
I scowl at her.
"Oh enough with the dagger eyes , I'm here now aren't I?"She gives me a bear hug before throwing herself on the king-size bed. I fasten the robe I put on after showering .
" I almost got lost you know , this hotel is like a town on its own , and oh! , I met Caroline,Mrs Susie and your mom on the second floor , ... something about going to the spa."She stretches on the bed.
"Yeah..I had my session"I settle close to the dressing mirror.
Breathe , breathe.
" Mahatma.. you're shaking"Sandra comments , watching me through the mirror.
"Uh-uh.."I nod , folding my arms.
She smirks , sliding off the bed to my side in a heartbeat.
I jerk in my seat , leaning away from her.
".. scratch that , you're panicking aren't you?"She goofily exclaims.
" I'm fine"I lie .
" Aniya , it's completely cool to be nervous , you're getting married tomorrow"
" I feel sick"I groan , Sandra bursts into laughter.
" Wanna run away?"She winks, earning a slap on the arm.
"I love him you fool"
"Ah ,but I know Mahatma , "Where there's love , there's life" , remember? , you quoted that"She cackles.
I end up smiling , recognising the popular quote of Mahatma Gandhi.
" I practically dreamt of these incredible ( she wiggles her eyebrows at me) past months a thousand times. Trust me , I want this , so much. I don't get why I feel so scared now..I guess I didn't think it through"
"Think what through?"She grabs an apple from a tray on a coffee table.
"The wealth , the society , the responsibility —"
"What responsibility!? , Caesar Banks doesn't let you do a thing with your dainty hands . All he wants is your love.. I've seen how he looks at you Kayla , it's..(she trails off).. listen! , stop picking up stupid excuses "She glares at me .
"I'm sorry.."I hide a smile.
" You're just having cold feet , I know you care for Caesar and if you don't see that right now , I'm here to hit you right back into reality"She bites into the red apple.
"Yes ma'am"I chuckle , taking my phone from the cream colored sofa.
"I'll go join Caroline at the spa , we'll head to the ocean-like pool! (I roll my eyes after) after that , you should come along"Sandra squeaks , giddily putting on her cheetah print bikini before wearing her yellow dress on it .
" Oh no , go on without me , I'll be fine , I promise"I tell her .
"Oh yeah , if you're gonna call Caesar , I'm sure.."She winks on her way out.
I scroll through my unneeded apps , play a few games before texting Caesar.
