The Bridesmaid and the Groomsman
"You and Oliver?" said Jean to me. It's Monday, and like all Mondays, today is very slow. It's only 10 o'clock and we've only had 10 customers. Two of them are Fred and George, and that's just because the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes are only four doors down. A
I told her the incident that happened on Sunday morning in my room. She gaped at me.
"Well, yeah, me and Oliver, but it's not like we did anything! We're nothing more than roommates and friends!" I said in protest. Man, I wish we were something more than just roommates.
"You know, you guys would look so perfect with each other," she replied. I said nothing, I just smiled at her. Would we look good together? I guess it's just me who has the feelings and butterflies, because if he does, he's doing a very good job hiding it. That or I'm really slow.
Just at the moment, Angelina and Alicia entered the café. They were beaming and headed toward the cashier, where I was sitting behind it with a magazine.
"Katie dear! We know something you don't know!" called Angelina.
"Yeah? What is it?" I asked.
"It's a secret! Nothing of you and a certain keeper of some sort," replied Angelina. Well look who opened their big mouth! cough:Alicia:cough
"Who told you?" I asked. I bet their next line's gonna be "A little birdie told me"
"A little birdie told me!" she said, still very excited. Professor Trelawney was right. I'm really good at this. That's almost freaky to say!
"So, how was it?" Angelina continued, winking at me. Wha...
"Hey! No! No! No! We didn't! God Alicia! We were fully clothed!" I cried.
"Hey, I never said you two...you know..." Alicia implied.
"You guys it was nothing, it was just two people of different sex sharing a bed!" I said. What a lie. It was SO a big deal to me! With me and the love of my life!
"Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say," implied Alicia.
"It's true!" I protested. What a lie.
"Fine, fine, take the stick out of your bum. Can we get four mocha lattes, please?" said Angelina.
"Alright. You know, Fred and George were just here. You just missed them," I said, while getting some mocha lattes for them.
"Well, they asked us to bring these for them," said Alicia,"I can't believe George! Said he hasn't had coffee ever since this morning!"
"And that was what, three hours ago?" I said. I handed the lattes to them and punched in the price on the Arith-wiz (It's quite cool, works somewhat like a calculator).
"7 sickles please," I said. Angelina and Alicia paid and leaves.
"We'll see you later, Katie! And next time that happens, we'll talk, alright?" said Alicia, winking. I can only sigh.
It's been two weeks since the whole "Sunday morning" incident. Oliver and I acted normally, like it never happened. But he's been avoiding any topic related to that and it's driving me crazy! Like the other day, we were talking about bed sheets, and he completely switched the topics to the Quidditch tactics that the Puddlemere United are going to use to whip Wimbourne Wasps's bums. Clearly he needed to say something-heck, even the slowest person in the universe can see that! But he's not saying it! And it's driving me up the wall!
And now, here I am, alone in my little flat. I'm just sitting on my sofa, reading the latest edition of Witch's Weekly. I heard a soft pop behind me (which made me jump slightly) and it was Oliver. He looks so tired from practice. He sat himself next to me on the sofa, groaned, and put his head on my shoulder. I jumped.
"Ewwww! You are so gross! Go shower!" I shrieked. I pushed him over to the side.
"Ah, come on, Kates, I'm dead beat," he said. Still, you showering would be nice!
"And here I thought you were 25, not 10. Go take a shower!" I exclaimed. He lazily got up and showered. He can be so lazy sometimes. Except for when it comes to Quidditch. I went back to my magazine until George's voice got in the way and scared the life out of me.
"So, is it save to look now?" he said. My heart skipped a beat. I stood up and turned around to see George with his hands over his eyes. Men can be so childish sometimes. No, I take that back, most of the time.
"Yes, George, it's save," I said dully.
"Good, I was scarred once, I don't need to be scarred again," he said with a grin. Shut up, George!
"Shut up and be mature about it, George," I said and blushed. Why is everyone not letting this go! Just then, Oliver came out of the shower shirt-less, just a towel wrapped around his torso.
"I heard noises," was all he said. I can't believe in all the months and years that I've lived with him and known him, I have never seen him shirt-less. I'm trying really hard to not gape at that torso of his.
"Um, yeah, yeah, it was George," I managed to blurt out.
"Yeah, um, do you lovebirds want to join us for dinner at Hank's Steak House?" he asked.
"We are not love..." I started, but Oliver cut me.
"Sure. When?" he said.
"Right now, go get dressed! Although someone here would prefer you to not get dressed," added George as he smirked at me. Dammit George! I left to change to my room. I picked out a brown cami top and put my denim jacket over it. I rolled up the sleeves and put on my jeans. I chose my brown ballet flats, and my big light brown purse. I took out my ponytail and let my hair loose. I'm not a big hair person, I like my hair just the way it is, slightly wavy. And now, as you can probably tell, I'm not big on make-ups and things like that. Although I love shoes and denims.
I went out to find Oliver waiting. He had on his white shirt and casual jeans. Simple, yet hot. I like that!
"You ready?" he asked. I nodded, and we apparated out of the place.
"Hi, guys," said Alicia and Angelina. We all greeted each other and I sat next to Alicia while Oliver sat next to Fred, on my opposite side.
"About time you showed up," shrugged Fred. Geez, people really need to get over this! Before I said anything, the waiter came and took our orders.
"So, what' the occassion?" I asked Angelina. I mean, I should have known Angelina and Fred like to be spontaneous.
"Well, Alicia and I have figured out the ceremony preparation!" said Angelina excitedly. I groaned silently.
"The what?" asked Oliver.
"The order of the ceremony!" exclaimed Alicia impatiently. Bridezillas attack!
"Here we go again," I moutned to Oliver and he just snickered at me.
"Right. Let's start with the aisle. Alicia?" said Angelina.
"Yes, of course. Now, Fred and George will wait by the altar. Then Irene, Ange's sister, will come out first, as she is the maid of homor. Then, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen," said Alicia.
"In the following orders," Angelina took out a sheet of paper and read off of it," Cousin Alyssa will walk with Bill, Alicia will walk with Charlie, cousin Michelle will walk with Percy..."
"I pity cousin Michelle," shrugged Fred, and he, George, Oliver, and I laughed. Angelina ignored us and went on with the list.
"Then we have Hermione and Ron, Harry and Ginny, and Oliver and Katie, and my dad and I," finished Angelina. Say what?
"Sorry?" I asked. Did she just say...
"Yes, Katie, you and Oliver," she said.
"Great," I said. Yeah, real great. This will be awkward, mind you.
"And we'll have the chairs be white, since the colors will be red and white. We'll go shop for dresses and tuxes tomorrow, and we'll get the bouquets...let's see, next week?" said Angelina.
"Tomorrow? As in, all of us go tomorrow?" I blurted out. Wow, I was listening!
"Yes, we found this shop in Diagon Alley the other day and we've found these dresses and tuxes that are just fantastic!" said Alicia.
"Oh, you'll love tomorrow," said Angelina happily.
"Can't wait," said Fred and he and George shuddered.
"I look like a walking shrub," I said annoyedly. I'm wearing this white dress with 3 dimensional flowers and leaves on them. Fred, George, and Oliver just laughed hysterrically. Haha. very funny.
"Maybe this isn't the dress," said Angelina.
"Clearly. And why am I the only one modeling here?" I shot. I mean, Alicia's the bridesmaid too, but she's not trying anything!
"Well, we just want to see how it'll look. Then we'll come back again for the sizes," said Angelina. Wha...?
"Try on the red one, Katie," ordered Alicia.
"Fine," I said. I went back to the changing room and tried on the red gown. It's a simple, spaghetti strap dressand it has some flares in the bottom. Personally I like this one the best out of the last ten dresses that they made me put on. I looked in the mirror, and I must say, I look pretty darn good!
"Ooh, Katie Bell! You look spectacular!" gasped Angelina.
"Katie, you look beautiful! Doesn't she, George?" said Alicia.
"Yeah, sure," said George.
"You look great, Katie," said Fred.
"This is the dress," said Angelina.
"What do you think, Oliver?" asked Alicia. We all glanced to Oliver, who was slightly gaping. HA! I made Oliver Wood gape! One point for Bell! Fred pushed Oliver's jaw back up, and I just laughed silently.
"Take that as a yes," said Alicia.
"'Licia, why can't we wear normal, polite clothes?" whined George. We are now waiting on the guys to try on their tuxes. Fred is still changing, and so is Oliver. George was the first one to come out.
"George Weasley, what did you wear on our wedding day?" snarled Alicia.
"During the reception and ceremony, tuxes. At night, nothing," said George with a shrug. Alicia slaps his head, while Angelina and I laughed hard.
"Quit whining!" barked Alicia. Really, George is acting like a five-year-old.
"So, how doI look?" asked Fred, once he came out.
"Oh, sweetie, you look..." said Angelina as she was in the loss of words.
"Charming? Dashing? Extremely handsome? Irresistable?" joked Fred.
"Yes," replied Angelina. She jumped to Fred's arms and kissed him hard.
"Hello, public display of affection!" I said. Must they do that everywhere we go?
"Sorry," said Fred, and he and Ange blushed.
"This is it! We'll just get two of these, then," said Angelina.
"Two?" asked George stupidly. Really George, what were you doing during your wedding planning time?
"Well, for you and Fred of course! Honestly, George, how can you forget that the groom and best man must match?" sighed Alicia.
"Oh, right," said George.
"Bet no one could tell us apart,eh, Gred?" said Fred to his brother. Uh-oh. I know that look.. They're planning something and that can't be good!
"Come out, Oliver!" called Alicia. Oliver came out and just took my breath away. I never thought he could be any hotter, but I was wrong.
"How do I look?" he asked as he grinned. I swear I'm melting when he grinned.
"Try changing the tie to red, like Katie's dress," said Alicia.
"Ok," he said and he changed his tie to the red one. Much better.
"Much better, right Katie?" said Angelina.
"Of course," I said and smiled.
"Does this mean we're done?" asked Fred. Angelina and Alicia just sighed at him.
"I'm exhausted, thanks to bridezilla," I said as Oliver and I lied down on the sofa.
"Well, at least we went somewhere, unlike last time," said Oliver. Good point.
"That's true," I said.
"Wasn't as tiring," he replied.
"You didn't have to model 10 dresses! I swear each one weighed like a ton!" I sighed.
"Relax, when my cousin Annie got married, took her days to find the perfect dress," he chuckled.
"I guess. Remember Alicia's wedding?" I asked. Well, at that time, Alicia was going insane. Worse than Angelina.
"I still feel the pain," joked Oliver.
"We went to at least 10 stored and tried on a million dresses. I didn't think I'd be able to look at another dress again in my life. And obviously I spoke too soon," I said. Well, duh.
"You didn't have a tie choking your neck," he replied.
"How can they handle this?" I asked as I got up. I went to the refrigerator to get something to drink.
"Guess we'll never know until we got there," I heard him say. What's that supposed to mean? We?
"Yup," I said. That's the only thing that I can say, right? Right.
"Well, I'm going to bed. Night Kates," he said. He yawned and went to his room.
"Night," I said.
So, how was that? Please let me know!
I am planning to finish this, because I don't like it when other people write a good story and then they don't finish it. So, I won't do that to you guys. And, I am currently plaaning a sequel for my other fic, The Potters. Some of you have read it and demanded a sequel. I'm working on it! So please, be patient with me, ok? I promise the sequel will be better! I will try to update as soon as I can as long as you guys leave me a lot of reviews!
