Top Ten Reasons Why Weddings Should Be Avoided

Chapter 12

Neither of them said a word the whole cab ride home. Elinor's family lived in a mansion. They were met at the door by the butler and, after saying their goodnights to each other, the butler showed Charlie to his room.

Once Charlie was alone, he collasped on the bed. What a day, he thought with a sigh. All the day's events came back to him including the moment he kissed Elinor. He groaned. Why did I do that? She's probably really upset at me now... but she did kiss me back! What if she really does like me? Charlie thought for a second. She was the first girl to ever tell him no, which was odd, but what was even odder was that he was quite sure that he liked her back! Charlie had never felt that way about anyone before.

Charlie pulled out the paper that had been in his pocket since he first started this fiasco of weddings.

9: You may find yourself becoming mentally, emotionally... and physically attracted to your date

He looked at what he wrote with satisfaction. He folded it again and put it back in his jeans. He began to get ready for bed and hopped into the big bed and fell asleep.

Elinor went to her room that she had had since her childhood. Not to her surprise, she found it just the way she had left it about a year ago. The desk was on the opposite side of her bookcase and her bookcase was filled with books that she had read over and over whenever she came here. She changed into her pj's and laid in her bed looking up at her ceiling.

She couldn't help but think about Charlie and that amazing kiss she had shared with him. Her lips still tingled from it. She gave a helpless sigh. She knew Charlie was a ladie's man and always got what he wanted in that department. The kiss they shared probably meant nothing to him.

She remembered him at Hogwarts. He was always acting like he ruled the place. She remembered the way he hurt Tara and she remembered that about a week after that he went after Heather Litey.

She silently vowed to herself that what had happen to all of Charlie's girlfriends would not happen to her. She would not have her heart broken, and she thought again of her ex boyfriend Hasad. Never again.

The next morning Charlie woke up and prepared himself for the events of the day. Once he was dressed and ready he left his room to find the kitchen. When he found the staircase from the night before he ran into Elinor.

"Good morning, Charlie," she said very formally.

"Morning to you too, Elinor," replied Charlie a bit confused by her attitude. The walked in silence going down the stairs. "Hey El," Charlie said after they had made it to the bottom of the stairs. "Think we should talk about what happened..."

"Do you want to know today's agenda?" Elinor interrupted him.

"Um... sure," said Charlie a bit taken aback.

"First we will have breakfast with my family. You will also get to meet my sister's fiance this morning. Then we will be going to the church to make sure everything is in order. Then we will meet my grandparents for lunch around one. Then there is a bit of a break before the dress rehearsal at four. Then there will be a party here tonight and then tomorrow of course is the wedding and..."

"Elinor I really think we should talk about what happened last night," he finally said.

Elinor stopped walking and looked at him. "What happened last night?" Charlie was stunned and Elinor sighed. "I am willing to forget about everything that shouldn't have happened. I'm sorry for my mistake and I can assure you it won't happen again." After Elinor was finished she walked through the double doors they were standing by, leaving Charlie very, very confused.

The day went just how Elinor said it would. They had a huge breakfast with Elinor's family and Charlie met Stephen Wing. He seemed a bit stuck up but was very hospitable towards Charlie. They went to the church to work on the final details of the wedding. He tried to get Elinor alone so that he could talk about last night, but she was clever enough to find a way out of them ever being alone.

Then around one they went to the restuarant to meet Elinor's grandparents. "They're my father's parents," said Elinor while in the car. Charlie was thanking God that Elinor had finally said something to him. "My mother's parents died before I was even born"

Now Charlie found himself sitting by Elinor and looking into the faces of Allen and Martha Harris. "My, my look how much our Ellie has grown Allen!" Elinor smiled at her grandparents. Charlie could tell she was very fond of them.

"And look, she even brought home a man!" Exclaimed Allen with delight.

"And look at his red hair... just like Elinor's," said Martha. "I can just see our great grandchildren all running around with red hair!"

Elinor and Charlie blushed. "Grandma," Elinor said. "Charlie and I aren't even thinking about marriage yet, let alone kids!"

But Martha wasn't listening to her. "How many kids do you want, Charlie?"

Charlie looked at Elinor and he knew exactly what she wanted him to say but he decided to take a different approach...

"I was thinking maybe three or four," replied Charlie. He felt Elinor glaring at him but he ignored her. "I come from a big family myself and I hoping to have a big one too."

Martha smiled with delight. "How wonderful! A man who loves children! You chose well, Ellie."

Elinor blushed. "He's one of a kind," said Elinor, forcing a smile.

After they finished their meals and paid the bill, Charlie and Elinor bid farewell to them and walked over to where Oscar had parked.

"Why did you tell my grandparents that?" Elinor said viciously to Charlie.

"What?" He said nonchalantly.

"That you wanted a big family. Now they are going to think we're getting married!" She sighed. "You know what? Never mind, it's to late to do anything about it now!" Elinor stomped off to where Oscar was holding the door as Elinor got in. Charlie sighed and shook his head, wondering what kind of mess he had gotten himself into.
