This is the second time I've thrown up today I don't know what's going on. I don't feel sick, and I've been drugged enough to know that this isn't what it feels like. "Gracie where are you I'm about to go get something for lunch, is there something you'd like." My newlywed husbands voice startles me as he rounds the corner into our bathroom, almost falling over one of the several boxes we need to unpack.
"Hey, are you ok you look a little red." "Don't I always look a little red" I say as I walk over to him and wrap my arms around Alexei's neck having to stand on my tip toes slightly due to his height." Well yeah but usually that's due to embarrassment or anger, and you don't seem to be either at the moment," he says while studying my face quizzingly. "Are you alright" "Perfect, also can we please get Chinese to – go, today I feel the need to give in to my cravings." I say hopeful for the promise of food. "sure, anything for my Gracie" I smile, I used to hate it when he called me that a right reserved only for Jamie but now it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, which I will never tell anyone let alone him.
"You know what to get" "Yes same as always right Orange chicken, chicken lo Mein and spring eggrolls." I smile in response" Good now hurry up I'm starving" "Okay ok" he says walking through our bedroom and out the door " Ill be back in a little while, love you" "love you too"
As soon as Alexei closes the door I feel a sour feeling comes up my throat I run to the bathroom just in time and start throwing up. Why though, I haven't been eating anything bad lately its been going on for the past three weeks. Maybe I should go over to Megan's she'll probably know what it is , she is a genius after all which she ever so often reminds us.
I'll text Alexei so he won't worry if I don't make it back in time, he hates it when I just disappear.

Grace: Hey I'm going over to Megan's so I might not be back when you get here
As I wait for Alexei to reply I put on my shoes and grab my wallet, I've never really been one for purses. Should I drive or walk, walk I could use the exercise, I notice my stomachs been looking a little swollen.
Alexei: Okay have fun, ill see you when you get back.
Okay I better get going there's only so many hours in the day. I start to head over to Megan's or should I say Noah and Megan's. They got engaged, at our wedding actually. I remember it perfectly.
The Wedding Reception
"Alright ladies lets head on down to the dance floor its time for the bouquet toss" Noah comes over to me and over the loud cheering and yelling says to me" You remember the plan right" " Of course its not everyday one of my best friends proposes to my other best friend at my wedding." Noah grins widely at my response. "Well then let's make it a night to remember."
I smile wickedly at Megan while she walks toward the center of the room along with Rosie and Lila. She raises an eyebrow in response which only makes my grin wider if possible. As im turning I catch alexeis eye. He was conversing with at the moment. Yeah Mrs. , turns out my grandfathers and her relationship wasn't purely platonic. Alexei winks at me, you know the kind of wink were if you blink youll miss it. However I'm not sure if ( AN: she kept her last name after the wedding) ever blinks, because the second he did it she turned around and followed his gaze to me. " Ahhhh to be young and in love" she said before turning back to Alexei and finishing up their conversation so that they could focous their attention on the toss.
I wait until everyone has settled down behind be before swinging my arm over my head bouquet in hand. Execept instead of letting go I spin around with it still in my hand and lowered it down from above my head. By now Noah was already clearing his way through the crowd toward Megan. I was meet with a lot of questionable faces and looks, the fact that I was smiling so much probably didn't help the with strange looks either.
Megan just stood there looking almost concerned for me. I walked up to her and handed the bouquet to her. "Turn around" I said with a mischievous glint in my eye. She did and as soon as she did she gasped and took a step back.
Noah was down on one knee ring in hand. "Megan will you marr-" "YES" squealed before jumping and knocking him down.
"Well or job is done let's split before they notice" I say while grabbing Alexei's hand and attempting to pull him away. Only semi successful i might add. Alexei laughs and picks me up bridal style "Okay , let's go" My chicks flush red when he misses my cheek. "Yeah let's go"
