'To Mr. and Mrs. Jones' I wrote on the cover of another envelope. Then I went and pulled out there sticker, and stuck it to the side of the envelope. Then I added a stamp, and put it into bin with the others.
Grabbing another card and sticking it into an envelope, I started to get tired. It's already 2:30, and I've been writing out cards all day. Only Tori and Trina have stopped by so far, and I was hungry. I grabbed my coat and my shoes, and ran out my door, down the hall, and out of the hotel. I walked over to a cafe a few blocks from the hotel, instantly smelling warm sugar as I walked in.
"Hi! Can I get a hot chocolate with a bunch of marshmallows? And could I get a banana nut muffin as well?" I asked the lady behind the counter, she nodded, and got to work. I waited for my hot chocolate, looking around the cafe. It was pretty nice. It looked very old-fashioned, and there was even a table with checkers on it. I giggled, wondering when the last time I played checkers was. I should play it again!
"Here you go." The lady said, and I thanked her, handing her the money. Then my phone rang, so I set my stuff down on a nearby table and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked, picking up my muffin.
"Where have you been? Why aren't you doing the envelopes? They have to be sent out tomorrow. You still have 3 dozen to do!" Landon shouted at me through the phone. I would of been upset, but my brother always yells at me.
"I was hungry. And I can get those done in no time." I said, biting down on my muffin. Mmm, it was so moist!"
"Well, if your not back in 10 minutes, you'll be in huge trouble. Nicole is already stressed out enough. Hurry!" He yelled, then hung up. I sighed, putting away my pear phone. Why are people so grouchy these days?
I hurried and finished my muffin, but I brought my hot chocolate back to the hotel so I can drink it while I did my work. I had a feeling I had a long ways to go.
"Done!" I shouted, 4 hours later. Who knew it would take so long? It got tiring very quickly though. I sighed, and fell onto my bed, begging myself to let me take a nap.
Just as I let myself cave in, Beck, Tori, Andre and Jade all came bursting through the door, arguing about something. They continued to argue as they stood beside me, causing me to pick up a pillow and cover my face with it, trying but not succeeding to block them out.
"Cat." I heard Beck say a few moments later.
"Yea, let's ask Cat." Jade agreed, and everyone went silent. I slowly put my pillow to the side and sat up, trying not to glare at them.
"Yea?" I asked, feeling the most tired I've ever felt.
"Tori says that she thinks the theme of the wedding should be a swan princess sort of thing." Andre said, motioning towards Tori.
"But I think we should have a dark romantic vampire-like theme. We could hand out scissors in the goody bags." Jade said quickly after.
"But I think that we should have a classical theme like every other wedding with doves and stuff." Andre continued.
"And then when they couldn't decide they all came to me." Beck said.
I sighed, staring at them for a few moments then shrugging. "What theme does Landon want?"
"That's the thing." Andre said, and Tori finished. "Landon told us to pick it for him."
"So that's why were arguing." Jade said.
"Well, go to Landon and see what theme he likes best." I said, sighing.
Everyone sort of looked at each other like, 'Why didn't we think of that?'
"Okay. Let's go." Jade said. Beck just glanced at me and I sighed, getting up and following them.
"Okay, okay, those are all..." He started, looking at Jade a little funny, "good ideas. But I'm not sure if they are right for the wedding.
"I have an idea." I said, pushing my way through the crowd. "Okay, well since we already ordered white flowers, and were having it in Colorado, I think we should have a winter wonderland theme. Right?" I said, looking around at everyone.
"I love that." Nicole said, beaming. Landon was smiling too.
"Okay, it's settled then. Winter wonderland. Cat, order some fake snow, and the vases holding the flowers should have snowflakes on them. Can you order a bunch of other snow-related decorations too?" He asked me. I felt like I was going to faint.
"I'll help." Beck said. I looked up at him like he was the best thing to ever be alive.
"Okay, so fake snow." Beck said beside me. We were sitting on my hotel bed, the laptop on my lap and a search for fake snow up on the site. We were scrolling through the links, trying to find people who sold a bunch of fake snow, and fast.
"Ooh, right there!" I said, pointing to a site. "It says they can have it delivered by the next 2 days no matter where you are."
"Okay, get the number." Beck said, handing me my pear phone. I got the number and dialed it in, then hit send.
"Hello?" The lady on the other line said.
"Hi! My name is Cat and I was wondering if I could buy a bunch of your fake snow?" I said, trying to be friendly even though I was extremely tired.
"Yes, of course. How much?"
I woke up the next morning at noon. I wasn't sure what had happened, or why Beck was beside me. Then I remembered that we had stayed up all night to get all those things ordered. I sighed, laying back down next to Beck. This manager-assistant thing is harder then it looks. I closed my eyes and just laid there, cuddled up into Beck. The whole world could of ended and I wouldn't care. I was just tired, and Beck was the only person I wanted to see right now.
A/N: So, so sorry its late and short. I've been super busy wrapping presents for my mom since she hurt her arm, and I've been baking cookies and doing all those other holiday-things. I'm not sure when I'll be posting again, but my plan is to have this story finished before my winter break ends, which is January 3rd. So I have about a week and a few days, so I'm really excited to finish it. So I'll try to post more often, and Merry Christmas!
