Ch. 14 Part 3 Memories

Lori started thinking about Chord and Camille who were"The Wild Couple" They had been together for nearly two years now! Camille had always wanted to get married and have children but she wanted to be settled before that happen. All of their friends around them were getting married and having kids.. Even Vicky was dating someone now Camille was so happy for all her friends though she felt like she was missing out on something...

Camille and the other girls were meeting Ravi to pick out a bridesmaid dresses at a local boutique Ravi had already chosen her dress. Camille was the first to arrive

"I'm worried about Lori though she was not in a very good place." "Have you heard from her?"
"No!"
"she was wearing herself thin between the hospital and jazz!"
"I don't know why she goes to the hospital he won't see her!"
"Lori!"

Lori walked in the boutique with her friend Iza following her.

"Hey ladies are we ready to do this? I hope you don't mind that I brought Iza with me!" "No not at all! Hello Iza how have you been?"
"I'm doing good thank you for asking!"
"The party is here!" Vicky yelled as she walked into the boutique "I can't take you anywhere can I?" Sabby snapped "Nope!" Vicky replied sarcasticly

The group of friends looked through what had to have been over 200 dresses they could not agree on a style and they were all getting tired. Ravi still had almost 10 weeks until the wedding..

"Let's go to luch!" Sabby suggested "That sounds like a great idea!" Ravi replied "I can't I have to get back to the hospital" Lori said

Lori hugged her friend's Goodbye and left with could not understand why she would put herself through all of this. When they all got to the resturant the very same resturant Ravi had met Mark in almost 2 years earlier. The friends enjoyed their conversation and lunch Sabby had notice earlier that Camille was being very quiet and distant.

"Camille what's up with you ?"Sabby asked "Nothing really." she replied "Bullshit you have been walking around like a zombie all day!" Vicky snapped "Really it's not important." Ravi looked at her friend" What is it? "I feel like I'm taken a path that is not going anywhere!" Camille replied as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"What do you mean?" Sabby asked "I want to get married have babies and just be happy" Camille cried "Have you talked to Chord about this?" Ravi asked "No I dont want him to feel pressured. I just don't think he wants to marry me!"

None of the others knew what to say.. to convince her that he loved her.
Later that night Chord and Camille were sitting on the couch watching a movie Camille looked over at him.

"Do you love me?" "Cam you know I do what made you ask that?"
"I don't know I was with Ravi today looking at dresses. And I guess I just wondered if it was ever gonna be my turn to pick out a dress.
Chord looked at Camille" Do you want to get married?"
