Chapter 25
Three months after the engagement…
I woke up with a big smile on my face because today Rui and I were picking out our outfits for the wedding, along with the help of our friends of course. The dress I wore at the engagement was still hanging in the closet.
Flashback
I remembered when Jenna called me on the phone and saying excitedly, "Ellen. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen!"
I matched her tone and said, "Jenna. Jenna. Jenna. Jenna. Jenna. Jenna! What is it?"
I pulled the phone away from my ear because she basically screamed into my ear as she said, "I just finished your engagement and…Oh. My. Gosh! You are just going to LOVE it!"
I said, "Okay first of all, calm down lady! Secondly, you are amazing! I can't believe you finished the dress already, and it has been like what three weeks after the proposal?"
She laughed and said, "Oh why thank you, I know I'm amazing!" She laughed. "Once Rui told me he was going to propose to you, I was forming an idea in my head and…Ta da! I finished the dress and his outfit!"
I laughed and said, "Your unbelievable Jenna, seriously you are."
"Thanks. I'll stop by your house later so you can try it on. I think it will fit on you because we're the same size anyways right?"
I had to think for a moment and said, "Yeah I believe so."
"Awesome! Alright, I'll see you later and make sure Rui is not there!"
I laughed and said, "Okay."
A few hours later…
I heard a knock on the door and opened it since I was near the door and the butler was nowhere in sight. When I opened the door, Jenna ran towards me and gave me a big hug. Shocked, I said, "Um first of hi, and secondly what was that for?"
Jenna smiled at me and started to talk really fast, "I can't believe you and Rui are actually getting married soon! I mean I knew you guys would but it's just so sudden!"
I laughed and said, "Calm down Jenna. I think we all figured out that Rui and I would get married any time soon."
She laughed too, "That's true." She held out a hanger with a cover over the dress. "All right, let's go try on your dress now!"
When we went into my room, she handed me the dress to try on. I retrieved the dress and went into the bathroom to try it on. Once I closed the door behind me, I unzipped the cover to reveal a beautiful gray and white dress. She was probably thinking about Rui and I matching since he always wear gray and white. I thought to myself. I touched the delicate silk fabric and it felt cool under my touch. When I was finished admiring the dress, I undressed myself and slipped on the silky dress which went down to my knees. Since there was a full length mirror covering the wall across from me, I stood there looking at myself. I just couldn't believe how amazing Jenna's skills are. She should definitely be a fashion designer. I thought.
There was a knock on the door, and Jenna said, "How's the dress Ellen?" I opened the door for her, as she stepped in, she said, "Wow, you look amazing."
I looked at her through the mirror and said, "Thanks Jenna. I can't get over how this dress is so beautiful." I turned to her. "Are you designing Rui's tuxedo?"
She nodded her head and said, "It's in my car, after we finish some after touches on the dress I will go over to his house." She looked at her watch. "I believe the boys are over there right now."
As I shut the door to the bathroom, I saw her going to my balcony to go call someone.
End of flashback…
I was sitting on my bed with my knees close to my chest with my head resting on it when I felt Rui stir next to me. He looked like a child in his sleep; his face was relaxed and a smile was forming on his lips. I gently brushed his hair out of the face as to not wake him; it didn't work because he opened his eyes.
I smiled at him and said, "Hey, did I wake you?"
He reached towards me to rest my head on his chest and said, "No, I was awake the whole time and I didn't want to disturb your thoughts."
I nestled closer to him and said, "Oh."
Suddenly, the door busted open and Tsukasa, Sojiro, and Akira came through the door. They looked at us with wide eyes as we did the same, trying to cover us up (it's not like we were naked).
I glared at Tsukasa and yelled at him, "Ever heard of knocking Tsukasa!"
He stuttered as he said, "It wasn't me, it was Sojiro! I told them not to disturb you guys!"
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Uh huh sure. You guys have no manners at all!"
I pulled the blankets over me as I heard Rui spoke annoyingly (can't blame him), "What are you guys even doing here?"
Sojiro sounded uncomfortable as he said, "Oh um we're here with the others to discuss the wedding plans."
I removed the blankets and got off the bed. Tsukasa said, "Whoa Ellen, we're still here you know?"
I glared at them, with the pillow clenched between my hands. I walked towards them, slowly as if their predators, and said seductively, "So? You guys have seen me half naked before, haven't you?"
Sojiro blushed and said, "Yeah but…"
I smiled at him and said, "It's not like I'm completely naked anyways. Do you want to see me naked Sojiro?" I pretended as if I was really going to undress in front of them, as if.
Sojiro raised his hands up as if he was surrendering and said, "Okay, okay we're sorry. We'll knock next time! Gosh Ellen!"
They scurried out of the room. As I closed the door behind me and turned around to face Rui, I said, "And that my dear, is how you teach them a lesson." I have never seen Rui laugh this hard before as he started to crack up and rolled over the bed, slamming his hand on the bed. I started to laugh too and came over to him. "Whoa Rui, calm down."
His laugh slowly died down, he sat up on bed, wiped a tear from his eye, and said, "I'm sorry but that was just too funny."
I smiled at him and touched him lightly on the cheek with my hand and said, "I know. Let's get dress before the others think we are doing something inappropriate."
He smiled at me and said, "Okay."
When we finished getting ready, we saw the others in the living room talking excitedly to one another. Then, they saw us as we started coming down the stairs. I teased Sojiro, Akira, and Tsukasa by giving them a sly smile. They turned to look the other way, apparently embarrassed at what had happened earlier.
As Rui and I sat down on the couch, I said cheerfully, "Hey everyone!" I looked at the boys. "Hey boys."
I saw Rui stifle a laughter. Onee-chan smiled and said, "Well, isn't someone cheerful today? Actually, I should say a certain engaged couple." Onee-chan and Shizuka-san laughed in unison.
"Oh well, you know. Rui and I had our little fun earlier." I nudged him on the side. "Didn't we Rui?"
He smiled at me and played along as well. "Oh yes we did."
Makino raised an eyebrow and said, "Did the idiot boys barge through the door?"
I laughed and said, "How did you know?"
She laughed too, "Because we heard you screaming at them from upstairs."
I smiled innocently and said, "Oh, I didn't know you guys could hear me from up there."
Sojiro glared at me and I smiled back at him seductively. He turned away and looked the other direction.
Jenna clapped her hands to get our attention and said, "Alright, let's get back into business guys."
I sighed and rested my head on Rui's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
A couple of hours later…
After we finished planning, the girls and I decided to split into two groups: a girl group and a boy group. However, Rui and I did not agree to that at first.
Jenna said, "But, Rui can't see your wedding dress until the day of the wedding Ellen!"
I matched her tone and said, "But Jenna, let's be honest to each other here: Rui and I can't separate from each other." Rui smiled at me and gave me a light kiss on the lips. Jenna sighed and rubbed her temples. I gave her a pout. "I'm sorry Jenna…"
Jenna rested her head on her hand and said, "It's fine. I guess we could all go in one group…"
Rui lightly nudge me on the side and said, "How about we Jenna a break and go in two different groups?"
I looked at him and we locked eyes for a second. I sighed and said, "Okay…"
Rui whispered into my ear and said, "And besides, I want you to surprise me on the day of the wedding. I'll be looking for the girl in a white dress."
I blushed and whispered into his ears, "You'll be the first one I'll look for."
He smiled at me and I smiled back at him. Jenna cleared her throat and said, "If you two lovebirds are done whispering to each other, we need to get going now."
We smiled at her and said, "Okay, we're coming."
