The Boss

Chapter 12: I can hear the Bells

I woke up with the light from the curtain shining in my face. The scent of Jaehyun's cologne was strong as I watched his sleeping form. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beats, the sound alone was enough to calm my already racing heartbeat.

At that moment I forgot the situation we were in. We weren't Boss and employee caught in a lie, we were just a man and a woman enjoying the warmth of each other's bodies as we laid in bed after a night of passion.

It was that simple. With the wedding two weeks away and Jaehyun's mom not taking the bait, we're stuck in a sticky situation. At this rate the only way to convince her we are going to have to get married ourselves, something that as I think about it more I'm starting to not mind.

My feelings for Jaehyun have grown a lot these past few months. I have come to love him, and I wouldn't mind spending my life with him; I just wish it wasn't under these circumstances.

I let out a sigh and trace shapes on his chest, I start to move my hand across his skin until I feel him start to wake up.

I watch as his eyes flutter open, He looks in my eyes and smiles. To see his confusion turn into joy makes my heart do backflips in my chest. He gives me a gentle peck on the lips before stretching.

"Morning sleepy head, you sleep well?"

"Like a baby."

"That's good to hear. Well since you had such a good night's rest we should be able to come up with a plan with no problems then."

"What plan?"

"Did you really forget about yesterday?"

"Honey, a lot of things happened yesterday you're going to have to be more specific."

"Your mom still doesn't believe us. At this rate we're going to have to actually get married for her to leave you alone, and knowing her she's going to investigate everything to make sure it's real."

"Would that really be so bad?"

"..What?"

"Would it be so bad to actually marry me?"

"Of course not. I would love to spend my life with you Jay, it's just I would rather get married on my own terms. Not like this."

"Well since you want to marry me, why don't we just do it then?"

"Jay, you know that planning a wedding in two weeks is impossible right?"

"Then I'll extend it, we'll get married in a month. I'll tell both our parents that I just couldn't wait to make you mine. That'll give you enough time to work with the wedding planner."

"What wedding planner?"

"The one I'm going to call in today."

"Oh my god, we are really doing this."

"Don't freak out baby."

"It's kind of hard not to, I never thought this would happen."

"Baby look at me."

Jaehyun held my face and brought it close to his. tenderly gazing into my eyes he told me the thing every girl wants to hear.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know this isn't how you pictured it, but all that matters is that we are together."

"You're right, lets go plan a wedding!"

"That's the spirit, I'll call her and you go and get ready for the day. You are going to be having a lot of days off from the office."

After about an hour the wedding planner showed up. A old family friend, who was definitely excited to hear her old friend from high school was getting married and wanted her to plan it.

We filled her in on what was happening and how we had like a few weeks to put something together. It wasn't going to be easy but she had connections.

When she told me she could plan this in less than a week I thought she was crazy.

After we officially hired her she dragged me shopping for bridesmaid dresses. I grabbed my Kate on the way and we got to work.

We hopped from store to store until we found the perfect dress. 

It was light purple with sparkles covering the top parts of the dress

It was light purple with sparkles covering the top parts of the dress. I was in love with it ever since I locked eyes on it, it came in three different styles and we bought each one.

With the bridesmaid dress taken care of it was time to get mine, Jaehyun gave us the address of the store his sister got her wedding dress from. Knowing his family it's probably going to be super fancy and expensive.

I know he gave us his card and told us to buy whatever we wanted, but I still feel bad for spending so much of his money. I know weddings cost a lot but I was hoping to spend as little as possible.

When we got to the store he was talking about, that thought immediately left my mind. There was no way anything in this store was going to be remotely cheap. We walked in, told them what we wanted and who the groom was and they pushed us into a private room.

Before we knew it they were staking up dresses for me to try on. I was about to ask them what they were doing before Stacy walked into the room. I should have known she'd be here.

"Well don't just stand there try some on, we don't have all day."

With the help of Stacy I managed to get in and out of every dress she picked out for me. Though they were all very pretty none of them really did anything for me.

Stacy told me to walk around the store for a bit and look at what they had. I looked at all the dresses they had hung up and on display, all the ones that caught my attention had insane prices. I would see something I like and then the price would make me lose interest.

I had almost given up when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the most beautiful princess wedding dress I've ever laid eyes on. I was transfixed on it, I felt my body instinctively move towards it. I reached my hand out and felt the material, the sequins on the top. If it were possible my pupils would be in the shape of hearts right now.

I was so distracted I didn't even notice Stacy come up behind me. She got the staff to bring the dress to the room and I slipped into it. I took a deep breath and walked out, I watched as everyone's expression turned into one of shock.

"What? you guys are giving me the weirdest look right now."

I turned towards the mirror and felt myself gasp.

It was perfect. Stacy paid for the dress and pushed us out the door, She said it was her wedding present to me. I wished I knew how much she paid for it, she made it impossible for me to look at the price tag.

We called it a day and made our way back to Jaehyun's house. I offered to order us all pizza as a celebration for our hard work.

We are nowhere near finished but today gave me the courage to keep going.

The next two weeks are going to be stressful but I know in the end it will be worth it if I get to marry the man of my dreams.
