married to Mr grumpy

Her birthday

THREE WEEKS LATER

 Annie's POV

I'm finally done with my exam and also out of college and my birthday is in two days, my wedding is also in week, all necessary preparations for the wedding have been made except my wedding gown which Ryan told me we'll go pick today

I was in the middle of calling Grace to come over when I heard a knock on my door

"coming “I said heading towards the door

I opened the door and there she was Grace smiling

"hey Gracie, have really missed you"

"have missed you too"

"seems like God really wanted you to be here, I was in the middle of calling you to come over"

"well, I'll be staying here for a month, my parents have travelled and you know I alone can't stay in our house so I decided to come stay with you after all, it's going to make things easier"

"okay no worries, you'll need to accompany me to go pick my wedding gown today, Ryan's coming to pick me up soon"

"you don't need to ask me to do that, you know I’m always ready but first I need to take a nap "

"okay then, let me get dressed", Ryan's call came in immediately after I finished dressing and Grace is sleeping so peacefully which I didn’t want to interrupt, I tiptoed out of the room because I didn't want her to wake up, I got out of the compound and there Ryan was, seated in the car without the driver

"hey" I muttered joining him in the car

"hi!" he replied and then started to drive, this one that he doesn't come with his driver these days. We arrived at his boutique and as usual, the attendants bowed and greeted both Ryan and I

"are they here?" he asked turning to one of the attendants

"yes sir, this way", she led Ryan and I to another room in the building, it seems the wedding dresses are kept here

"I ordered all this especially for you, you can go pick the one you like" he said

I got up from the couch and then went through all the gowns

"this is it "I muttered and one attendant had it removed from the doll, I came out to show it to Ryan after putting it on in the dressing room

"are you picking this?" he asked

"yeah, it's okay right?"

"yeah, it is “he replied, the gown was packed in a box and then taken to the car, I arrived home earlier than planned and Grace was already awake but as it seems, she's angry

Grace's POV

I woke up later but didn't meet Annie in the room, she left without me huh? even though I was asleep, isn't she supposed to wake me

I went to the kitchen to get a juice and then retired back to the room, Annie is going to meet me here, I heard a car drive into the garage and I peeped through the window, she's finally here, she better gives me a very good explanation as to why she left me behind, I heard her approach the door and I feigned anger

"hey Grace, you're awake" she muttered closing the door behind her but I didn't budge

"I’m sorry Grace, I didn't mean to leave you behind, you were asleep and I didn't want to disturb you"

"but you should have, you know how much I wanted to be there"

"I’m sorry"

"well that isn't the case now, let me see the dress you picked"

"coming right up" she hurried to the box she brought in earlier with her, brought out the dress from the box and I gasped

"wow, this is awesome, look how shiny it is, you're sure going to be the talk of the Town on your wedding "

"you think so" she asked

"no I don't, I’m certain about it"

"so how are you planning to celebrate your birthday?” I asked

"I don't have any plans; I’m just going to celebrate it like I used to" she replied

"no Annie, you aren’t celebrating it like that, you'll spend that day with your future husband, okay?"

"no, I’m not, I can't stand his sight “she said and shrugged, well whether you're going to spend it with him or not, we'll find out about that, I'll just have to set both of you up, yeah that's it, and this is so going to be fun.

Rachael's POV

I haven't seen nor heard from Ryan these past three weeks and my informants hasn't called to give me any update. If Ryan is really with a girl, she probably must be his girlfriend and the reason why Ryan hasn't called me, wait, I haven't even checked what was written in the note Ryan left, I brought it out of the drawer where it was kept, it seems to really be a long letter

"I’m sure you're going to be shocked when reading this, I just felt I needed to tell you this because we've spent so much time together.

I'll be getting married in a month to the one have been betrothed to and I won't want to have any affairs outside, that was why I made it a no strings attached relationship, I only like you as a s*x partner not as anything else and I’m pretty sure you feel the same way. Just what is this huh? is this really happening, Ryan's getting married? he's dumping me? I know it was a no strings attached relationship but who wouldn't fall for you Ryan yelled out and started to cry, no, Ryan can't get married, I won't make it happen not when I’m still alive
