24H🌻 Know Better I

[Tatiana Manaois x Anne Marie]

Tatiana's POV
Saint James
___

I ran up to the roof gasping for air. Today was the day, my bestfriend got married. All I kept hearing was the voices of she and her newly married husband saying their vows. It hurt soo much. I covered both ears with my hands as I screamed. No!, it can't be possible.

I stood up, sweat beads on my forehead as I sighed. It was just a dream. Here's the thing, I've been inlove with my best friend since the 6th grade, but I had no idea how to tell her. She was straighter than an arrow to even begin with. And now, she's engaged and soon to be married. I looked over at my shelf where my now ringing phone laid. I stood up and ran over to get it. It was Anne calling.

"Hey." I said with a smile on my face.

"Hey Titi. Uh sorry if I woke you up, I just need your help right now." She pleaded. I just smiled even more. Even though she didn't, I would have been happy if she woke me up. Waking up to hear her sweet voice first.

"No you didn't and sure I'll be there in a 20." I said as she squealed.

"Okay, thank you." And with that the line went blank. I had no idea why she even hung around me. I was one of those rebel kids back in Highschool and she was one of  the prissy girls who always surrounded themselves with other girls and layers of pink. We had nothing in common but we were friends.

I pulled up to her house in exactly 21 minutes. A minute extra but she wouldn't care. I rung her door bell as I waited for it to be answer. I wasn't going to lie, her house was something else. I'd always known she'd end up living in a place like this, but this was different. Living in a gated mansion and all.

I saw her little frame run out with her bubblegum pink hair bouncing behind her.

"Tatiana!!." She squealed hugging me the minute the gates opened. I hugged her back inhaling her strawberry scent. She pulled away from me as I looked or basically starred at her eyes. The thing I love the most about her, her eyes.

"Hey." I smiled. "So, whatchu need?." I asked her as we walked into the house.

"Oh yea. Daniel wants me to pick the cake and you being my chief brides maid, I need your help." She said as I froze in my tracks. That means the wedding was close. Closer than I expected. What was I thinking?. Anne and i hadn't talked in two weeks on account that I was 'busy'.

"A-are you okay?." She asked as I smiled.

"Yea. When's the wedding?."

"In a week." She smiled. I immediately started to feel bad. I loved Anne, more than she could ever imagine but she loved Daniel.

"Oh, uh..cool." I said still feeling bad. We walked into her house as i saw the many decorations being done. A bunch of white roses surrounded her entire living room, some on the walls. Along with balloons, streamers, a huge banner of she and Daniel and a bunch of other stuff. All seemed a little too...much.

"Uh.." I said, shocked as I looked at everything being done.

"No need they got it covered. Now come on, let's go do what I called you here for." She said dragging my arm upstairs. I followed behind her as i got to her room. Inside it were her mother, cousin, and aunt.

"Hello Ms. Giovanni." I said to her mom as she just nodded. She never liked me. Her aunt, Danielle, came over to me..hugging me as her cousin, Flora, did the same.

"So, Titi, take a look at all these pictures and their small sizes over here and tell me the best one." Anne said as she dragged me over to a table with a bunch of books with pictures of cakes with small cupcakes of each kind on the same table. Well geeze, this was certainly much. But I did as she said anyways. I looked at the pictures picking the first one, 'red velvet rose'...wow, she was soo extra. I picked up the fork beside the tray of plates as I took a bite from the one with that name. Meh, too tangy. I picked up another one, 'pineapple beauty' I was starting to think it was Giovanni who picked this one. Soo salty, why was it even salty!?. I repeated the same action until I tasted all, coming to a decision.

"So, it's either you go with the red velvet rose cake or with the chocolate kitkat." I said as Flora and aunt Danielle stood up, twerking.

"Yea yea we get it." Anne said with an eye roll as she laughed. I think they made the cakes themselves. But I wasn't sure.

"Did they make them themselves?." I asked.

"Yup. My mom made the pineapple beauty." She replied whispering the last part. See, I was right. I chuckled as I looked at her and then back at the cake.

"I suspected." I chucked again.

"Whoo!, I can't wait for this wedding." Anne squealed as they hugged me. I just stood there, staring.

"Me too."
