ANASTASIA POV:
"You know you can move right?"-
"I know, it's just that I feel like I might break something, I don't want to get Kate in trouble!"
"Trouble? CariƱo this is rich people land; if you break something you don't fix it, you buy it new!"-
I find myself flying back to Seattle with Jose in a state of the art jet airplane, not that I would be able to difference it from a normal jet since it's the first time I've flown in anything other than coach. Ever since the earthquake all business have been a bit mixed up so my flight schedule was booked the wrong way and I wasn't going to make to my best friend's wedding, luckily Elliot's brother has a jet and offered to fly me in along with Jose who is taking the pictures for the event. I'm glad that Kate found Elliot, he's so sweet! Nice to know his family is nice as well.
"You think it's wise to drink so much?" I say to Jose who is drinking champagne as if it's water.
"It's a wedding Ana, not a pictorial for Time Magazine, besides it's Kate; I'll zoom in on her boobs and Elliott's ass and she'll be happy with the pics"-
"Jose Rodriguez don't be so crass!"
"I'm sorry... don't worry, I'll throw in a couple of pictures of your baby blue eyes so they'll class up the photo album"-
"You are impossible!" I say daring myself to drink a glass as well.
"And you my dear are just adorable. Now tell me, what's the deal once we land? Are you sure you don't want to go with me back to the hotel?"-
"I want to go over to Dad's house and see him before the wedding, I haven't seen him in ages and I want to talk to him before all the mayhem begins."
"I guess I can survive by myself specially if there is going to be good food and alcohol I mean, I knew the rich marry rich but Kate snagging a Grey? Kudos Kavanagh!"-
"Since when do you care about connections?"
"Since said connections can look at my work, pay me for taking pictures of their dogs eating biscuits so I'll be able to buy another apartment worthy for my girl!" He says giving me a kiss on the head. Good Old Jose always taking care of me even when he doesn't have to.
"What's wrong with our little castle? I for one think it's perfectly fine"
"Annie it was fine 3 years ago when we finished college, right now it's depressing. We need more space, something worthy of Jose Rodriguez; worldwide photographer and Anastasia Steele; the real life Angelina Jolie"- He laughs on... Jose is right, we do need to move into a better, bigger place but there's so much to do that moving just seems trivial to me, I am content with having a roof over my head.
The flight was fast so in a matter of hours I look at the window to see that grey sky I love so much. I wake up Jose since he passed out after enjoying a complimentary massage of the stewardess and can't help but feel excited; Kate is getting married today!
We arrive straight into a private hangar, greeted by a tall blond man that is going to escort us to the church. Everything seems so formal and fancy but as we are already inside the car Kate texts me and says that the wedding has been moved a notch since the weather broadcast said that there was going to be a pretty bad rainstorm. Leave it to Kate Kavanaugh to move an entire wedding party at the last minute just so her pictures don't get ruined... but there is a pretty big problem in her logistic.
"Fudge!"
"Ok, you almost said fuck so that's gotta be big, what's wrong?"- Asked Jose munching on some peanuts, he's definitely taking advantages of anything free he can get.
"What do you mean what's wrong? Aside from the fact that I'm me!"
"Weeeeeell I like you so I don't see anything wrong"-
"Jose we're supposed to go to the church right this instant and look at me! My dress is all wrinkled inside my suitcase, thank God were inside a car or else birds would try to get inside my hair which looks like a birds nest and don't get me started on my makeup!" I am having a panic attack and Jose is actually yawning.
"Excuse Mister...?"- Jose asks the driver.
"It's Sawyer Sir"-
"Sawyer... would you please be kind and stop at the nearest dry cleaners you see?"-
"Of course Mister Rodriguez"- Says the man looking at the road.
"You're going to do your laundry?"
"No Ana I am going to iron your dress since it's the only hiccup I see in our plans"-
"But what about my hair and my makeup?" He ignores my little rant while getting his camera out and taking a picture.
"Do you see this picture Anastasia?"- He says gesturing towards the screen. "I could easily find five to six magazines that would want to publish your pretty little face. Just relax, your hair has it's normal just fucked vibe going on and just put some red lipstick on and you're solid. I once did a shoot for Vogue and I heard one of the models say that as long as she had red lipstick on no one cared what she was wearing"-
The dress was one item less to worry about as we pulled up at the nearest dry cleaners and the ironed my dress real quick so we were on the road in a matter of seconds.
"Jose?"-
"Yes Sweets?"
"We're am I going to change?" He looks at me with his 'really?' stare but I dont care.
"You are aware that I've seen your ass before"-
"Jose!" I yelp looking over at the driver, the man has no mouth filter.
"Ana... Ana... Ana... rich people! Remember?" - He says pushing a button that makes appear a giant stained glass window between us and the driver. Is that Trouton?
"Ok... now strip"
...
In a record half an hour we arrive at the church, Jose gets out of the car like at lazy cat stretching as he pulls his fly up since we both had to change inside. Other than Kate I have never met anyone more confident with their body than Jose, it doesn't hurt that he has that dangerous gorgeous latino look going for him. I wish I could be like that! Confident, I can't be latina... I have no color whatsoever other than to be recognized as someone with vitiligo.
Opting to go without a jacket Jose is wearing a classic black tux, white shirt and skinny blue tie that purposely matches my dress that Kate liked so he managed to give it to me from one of his photo shoots and although its out of my comfort zone since it's too tight and too low cut, dare I say its quite comfortable so you won't find me within the hour bitching that I can't breathe in it.
"You my Sweet Ana look ridiculously amazing today! I guess you never heard that no one is supposed to outshine the bride?"- He says helping out of the car and pushing me closer to him. I cant help but giggle, he is such a player.
"Don't worry, Kate's dress has so many ruffles that it's impossible not to see her! Shall we go find the blushing bride?"
"We shall Oh dearest Made Of Honor"- And with that we go hand in hand to the church to begin a fun and memorable day for our little family.
Maria Menounos's Blue Zac Posen dress for the 2013 Emmy's is what I envisioned for Ana. Look it up.
So? What did you think? This is my first attempt at the massive universe that is the Fifty stories. Leave your review if you want me to continue.
