Chapter 7
A few months went by since that scary moment in the park. Todd hasn't been seen a lot during that time, but a passerby saw him once in a while as he tried to get some food, but by the time they got there, Todd would eventually disappear.
Starr was really worrying about her father appearing, but she decided to put it off for now. She had planned for today for her, her mom, Nicole, and Langston to come with her so that she could go wedding dress shopping, while Cole, Markko, John, and some of the other men so that they can pick the tuxes.
Nicole was so excited and started to sing, "I'm going to look pretty. I'm going to look pretty." Starr and Cole laughed at that.
"Yes, you are," said Starr. "And are you going to help me pick out my dress?"
"Yeah," said Nicole. "You are going to be very beautiful for Daddy, Mom." Starr smiled and turned a little red.
"She will be beautiful, I can definitely see that," said Cole. Starr looked at Cole passionately and they started to kiss each other.
"Eewww," said Nicole, and hurried off to wait at the door. Starr and Cole's kissing was broken by laughter from what their daughter said. "She doesn't like that, huh?" said Starr.
"Well, I'm pretty sure she'll get use to it, in about 11 or 12 years," Cole said in a joking manner. Starr punched him lightly in the chest and laughed along with Cole as she headed out the door with Nicole in her hand.
Once she was gone, Cole headed out and went to his vehicle to meet up with the guys for tux fittings. He made it there, with John, Markko, Rex, and Bo.
"Hey man," said Markko. "You ready?"
"Yeah, um one minute though," said Cole. "I want to speak with John and Bo."
"No problem," said Rex. "We'll wait inside."
"Hey, any leads yet on where Starr's dad could be?" Cole asked.
"Not yet, Cole. I'm surprised though that he dropped off the radar like that," said John.
"Don't worry, Cole. You let us worry about Manning, and you take care of future wife and your daughter. But now, lets go get fitted," Bo suggested.
"Sure," said Cole. And the three of them went into the store to get fitted.
Starr and Nicole made it over to the bridal shop of where they met everyone over there. Starr was also surprised to see her grandma here, but figured it would be okay.
"Hey, you ready to start dress hunting, sweetie?" Blair asked her daughter.
"Yeah, lets get looking," said Starr.
"Mommy is going to look beautiful," said Nicole.
"You got that right, Nicole," Blair said to her granddaughter. The girls went in and started to look for what would be perfect for Starr.
The guys were fitted perfectly. Cole thought that the groomsmen would look good in a black tux with a red tie, while he would do the same, except him having a black tie. Markko saw Cole looking at the mirror examining himself, and said, "Man, Starr is going to think that you look really neat."
"That's what I'm hoping for," said Cole. "Hey, I was wondering Markko, if you could be-"
"-the best man at your wedding?" Markko finished. "Hey, you don't even need to ask, Cole. You know that I'll do it."
"Thanks," said Cole, and they both shared a one-arm hug.
The girls back at the bridal shop were having fun picking dresses. They decided to start with Nicole, who was going to be the flower girl for the wedding. Addie went to take her in and help her get her dressed, while the others waited. When they reemerged from the fitting room, all the women couldn't help but squeal. Nicole was in puffy white flower girl dress that had a white shading of a flower on the hem. It covered her shoulders, but it left her arms bare.
"You look beautiful, Hun," Starr said as she walked over to her daughter.
"I thought you had to be the beautiful one, Mom?" asked Nicole. Starr and the others laughed. Nicole jumped right in as well.
Langston was going to be Starr's maid of honor, as she asked her a couple of weeks ago. She was really showing off her modeling skills, as she was wearing a red sleeveless dress with the hem stopping right at the ankles. Everyone agreed that it was going to be the bridesmaid dress for the bridesmaids.
Finally it was Starr's turn. Langston went to help her out. None of the first three dresses she tried didn't match everyone interest. Even Nicole didn't like the third one, as it was too fluffy all around the cloth. But when Starr showed them wearing the fourth dress she picked out, everyone mouths dropped, and Nicole said, "Wow!!" The dress Starr was in was sleeveless, but it hugged her body perfectly, and the hem of the dress was a little fluffy on the inside part, but there was a long white covering. And the dress was sparkling everywhere
"Oh, Starr. You look gorgeous," said Blair, as she ran up to hug her daughter.
"Mom, calm down. The wedding hasn't even happened yet," Starr reminded her mother.
"Daddy's going to fall when he sees you, Mom," said Nicole.
"I think she means faint," said Langston. Starr gave a nod to let her know she got what Nicole was talking about. She then went over to the mirror to look at herself. Starr couldn't help but smile at herself, in that dress. She knew though that something was missing, and noted it to the others. The others look around and Langston saw a veil. She took it, and gave it to Starr, who tried it on with her dress. She then took it off. "I don't think that's going to work," she said.
Everyone began to look around until Nicole said, "What about this, Mom?" pointing at a tiara that was shining because of the ceiling light. Langston picked it up and went over to put it on Starr. As Langston was doing that, Starr said, "This is just like when you were putting the Prom queen tiara on me when you and Markko appointed me and Cole Prom Queen and King."
"Yeah, but we don't have everyone watching us, except for the family," said Langston. The girls laughed a little. Langston then finished put the tiara on Starr and backed off a little to let Starr look. Starr smiled and said, "This is perfect."
"Mommy looks like a princess, Grandma," said Nicole.
"A beautiful one," said Blair.
Starr was smiling as she took the dress and tiara off and gets them ready so that they could be paid for. Blair though was going to take the dress and hide it back at La Boulaie, so that no one would sneak a peek. Starr though couldn't stop smiling as she and Nicole headed back home. On the way, Nicole asked her mom, "Are you excited to marry Daddy, Mom?"
"Nicole, I can tell you now, besides you, your dad makes me feel really happy," Starr answered her daughter, as they headed back home.
Hey, I wanted to do a little wedding preparing since Starr's wedding will be in this story. Don't worry though. I haven't forgotten about Todd. He'll be back in the next chapter. In the mean time, tell me what you think.
