Jillie
“Gosh, my belly just keeps growing,” Alyx stated while she looked in the mirror.“That’s because there’s a life in there,” Sage replied.“You still don’t know what you’re having?” I asked Alyx while fixing the straps on Sage’s dress.“No, but I don’t want to know until I have them, which is killing Mason,” she laughed.“I bet it is,” I responded.“Jillie, you picked beautiful dresses,” Sage complimented. “For both weddings.”“Thank you,” I responded. “I hate that Alyx won’t be in the first wedding, though.”“Girl, this belly will raise too many questions. I’m okay with it. That’s just less time I have to be on my feet,” she informed, causing us to laugh.“At least she’ll have Mason to cater to her every need that day,&rdJillie“Jillie! Is that you?!”“Yeah, it is, Mom!” I called back.“Come into the kitchen, please.”I walked into the kitchen, and she had flowers scattered everywhere. I picked up a few off the floor and placed them on the table.“What are you doing?” I asked, taking a seat.“Trying to come up with a centerpiece arrangement for the reception.”“I just wanted to do six white lilies with a brown rose in the middle,” I told her.“That’s a great idea, Jillie,” Aunt Carla stated, walking into the kitchen.“Hi, Aunt Carla, and thank you.”“It’s simple yet elegant.”“Do you know who’s going to do your hair yet?” Mom asked.“No, but I know how I want it. I’m also thinking about going completely dark brown, black.”“I like your hair the
JarrenWalking into my house, I found Xander sitting on the couch watching TV.“Don’t you have somewhere else to stay?”“Nah, I like it here.” Rolling my eyes, I walked into the kitchen, taking two blood packets from the fridge. I popped them into the microwave. Once it stopped, I pulled them out and poured them into a cup. Walking back into the living room, I sat at the other end of the couch.“So, the wedding’s just a couple of weeks away.”“Mhm,” I responded before taking a drink.“Two and a half weeks from now, you’ll be in wedded bliss,” Xander chuckled.“Yeah, I will.”“I know the part you’re looking forward to.”“And what part would that be?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.“The honeymoon.”I rolled my eyes. “Shut up
Jarren“What the hell is going on here?” I asked, walking into the building the wedding would be held in.The entire place was in disarray. Nothing was set up. There were chairs thrown all over the place. The aisle carpet was all wrong. Everything was wrong.“Your Highness, everything is still in the process of being set up.” The building coordinator supplied.“Nothing is right. Everything is the wrong color.”“Are you sure, Your Highness?”“What do mean am I sure? It’s my wedding. Red and cream are the colors Princess Jilliannah and I chose.”
Jillie“Princess Jilliannah.”“Hi. You must be Barbara.”“Yes, ma’am. When you called, I thought something was wrong.”“Something is wrong, but I think you can help me fix it.”“Yes, ma’am. I’ll try.” She stepped aside. “Please come in.” I followed her into her living room and sat on the couch across from the chair she sat in. I folded my hands in my lap before getting down to business.“As you know, Jarren and I are getting married in a few days.”“Yes. Everyone’s ready to see it.”“Well, I have a slight problem. I don’t have a flower girl.”“I don’t see how-”“I’d like Kinley to be my flower girl.”“Oh. Well, she told me she’d talked to you in the café. I didn’t believe her until you called.”“Your entire family will also receive an invitation to the wedding.”“If you don’t mind me asking, why Kinley?” Barbara questioned.“She’s a sweet girl. I’d like her to be there.”“I’m sure she’d like it.”“Is she here?” I asked.“No, she should be back in about an hour.”“Where is she?
Jarren“Hey, Jarren.”“Hey, Teya,” I responded, stepping into the house.“So tell me. Where are you taking Jillie on your honeymoon?”“I can’t tell you that, Teya.”“Yes, you can. I won’t tell her.”I chuckled. “Yes, you will.”She glared at me playfully. “I’ll remember that young man. If you don’t tell me, I’ll ask your mother.”“I figured you’d say that, but she can’t tell you either because she doesn’t know.”“The anticipation of not knowing is killing me,” she responded.“You’re just going to have to wait until after the wedding.”“This isn’t fair.”“What isn’t fair?” Ean asked, coming down the hall. “Hey, Jarren.” He then greeted them.“Hey,” I responded.“He won’t tell me where they’re going on their honeymoon,” Teya informed him.Ean chuckled. “I wouldn’t tell you either.”“Whatever,” Teya grumbled. “Jillie’s in her room, sweetie.” She then told me.“Thanks. I’ll see you both later,” I stated before heading up the stairs. Walking into Jillie’s room, I could hear the sho
Jillie“Jillie, get up.”“I am up.”“Okay, let me rephrase. Get out of bed,” Kaileeh stated.“Do I have to?” I whined.“Well, Uncle Ean’s talking about leaving you if you don’t.”I scoffed. “He can’t leave me. I’m the bride. It’s my rehearsal dinner.”“It involves food. As long as Uncle Ean can eat, I doubt he’ll care if you’re there.”I laughed, sitting up. “That’s true.” I slipped my feet into my shoes and grabbed my phone before following Kaileeh out of my room. We headed down the stairs and into the living room. My parents and Elise were there waiting.“I’m ready,” I stated. We all headed outside and slid into my dad’s car. He pulled out of the driveway, and
Jillie The rest of the ride was silent. When we arrived, I walked inside and went straight to my room after saying goodnight to my parents and Elise. I flopped down on my bed, and Kaileeh soon followed.“Mrs. Fox,” she stated. I could hear the smile in her voice.“Shut up, Kaileeh.”“Oh, come on. You know you love it.”I smiled like a girl talking about her first crush. “You’re right. I do, but I’m not married to him yet.”“That’s all going to change in two days,” she responded.“I know. I can’t wait.”“Do you know where you’re going on your honeymoon?”I shook my head. “No clue, and he won’t tell me. I don’t think he’s told anyone.”“I think you’re right. I tried to coax it out of Garret, but he said he didn’t know.”“Knowing Jarren, he&rsquo
Jarren I paced back at forth at an unfathomable speed. I was worried, frustrated, and downright pissed off. This was a disaster. What was the point in hiring the best if what I wanted wasn’t done in time? It was times like these that I just wanted to snap somebody’s esophagus. The fact that I hadn’t had my shot in four days wasn’t helping matters. It was simply making it worst. Well, for those who were pissing me off.“Jarren, calm down. You’re stressing over nothing.”“Nothing?” I asked Garrett, irritated. “This was supposed to be done by the time I left for my honeymoon. The same honeymoon I’m going on in two days.”“Well, it’ll be done after the honeymoon.” I let out a frustrated groan. “I’ll even make sure they get it all done. What you should be worrying about right now is your w
