I sat in my living room, typing my final college essay. I smiled to myself as I finished it. I ran my fingers through my hair; feeling like a large weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I grabbed my laptop and put it on the dinner table and walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. I grabbed an apple and heard a knock at the front door. I walked over and glanced in the peephole. There was a small girl with short, curly hair standing at my door. I opened the door and she smiled at me.
"Hi, I'm Clare," She said, holding her hand out to shake mine.
"Uh, Eli," I said, captivated by her blue eyes.
"Is Julia home?" She asked and I shook my head.
"She's at work. Why?" I asked her.
"Oh, that was so stupid of me not to tell you. I'm the wedding planner," She said, smiling.
"Yeah, she won't be home for another half an hour if you want to sit down for a bit," I suggested.
A scarlet blush creeped up her face as she stepped inside the apartment. I took the first bite of my apple as I jumped on the couch.
"What do you want to watch?" I asked, flipping through channels.
She laughed and said, "I don't care." It was awkward to be alone with someone you just met that was as pretty as Clare.
"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked. She shook her head. "You have pretty eyes," I said to her, before I could stop myself.
She faced me and blushed red again. "Uh, thanks," She said, shyly.
"Eli?" I heard Julia's voice echo through the apartment. I got off the couch and greeted her at the door with a kiss.
"I missed you," I whispered to her and she kissed me again. I could feel her smiling into it. "Clare's here," I said.
"Oh, Clare!" Julia said, hugging her. "How are you?"
"I'm good," Clare said, quietly.
"I hope Eli wasn't hitting on you," Julia joked and I smiled, slithering my arm around her waist.
"Of course not," She said, smiling.
"Why don't we go sit down and talk," Julia suggested and Clare and I followed her over to the couch. I sat on the end with my arm around my fiancé, rubbing her shoulder.
"How many people were you planning on inviting?" Clare asked, pulling folders out of her bag.
"I wanted a small wedding. You know, nothing flashy. Just a couple of friends and family," I said. I saw Julia's green eyes flash with annoyance.
"Oh, Eli. I thought we discussed a big wedding with a lot of people," She said. I smiled but in my head I was screaming.
"Sorry, honey," I said.
"A lot of people?" Clare asked.
"Yeah," Julia nodded.
"When were you planning on having it?" Clare asked.
"I always wanted to get married in the spring," I said.
"Oh. That's funny because we already agreed on a summer wedding," Julia said, smiling at me. She turned to Clare and said, "What about next August?"
"I'm going to go out for a bit. You guys can talk about it because clearly I'm getting in the way," I said, standing up.
"You better not go and smoke," Julia said.
"Of course not," I said, kissing the top of her head and leaving. I sighed when I got out of the apartment. I drove over to the gas station as my first stop. I picked up a box of cigarettes and texted Adam. He agreed to meet me in front of The Dot. I drove over there, clenching my fists against the steering wheel.
A/N DUN DUN DUN! Not really dramatic but whatever. Haha.
