APRIL
Camilla was really nervous as she packed for her trip to Alabama. She was flying to Seattle later that night and the next day they were flying to Mobile. She wondered what Jake would think of Alabama and that made her giggle.
"How are you doing in here, kiddo?" My grandfather asked after knocking on the open door.
"I'm ok." She told him folding some jeans. "It's going to be hectic in the next couple of days. I'm have to be fitting for my dress and everything. Chelsea sounds like she's close to a nervous breakdown."
He chuckled. "Everything will be just fine."
"I know." She sighed.
"Jake will be with you so that's good." He smiled. "You are planning to come back, right?"
"Of course." She smiled. "There's nothing left for me in Alabama."
She finished packing.
"Come on, let's go get some dinner." Her grandfather smiled.
They drove to the diner and met Camilla's dad and Lisa there.
"I want you to take lots of pictures, Cami." Lisa told her.
"I will."
She had dinner with her grandpa and dad. They drove her to the small airport.
"Have a safe flight." Her dad said hugging her. "and have fun."
"I will." She said. "I'll call you when I land."
He nodded and she walked to the plane. Hours later, she landed in Seattle. She went to get her bags and seen Jake waiting. She smiled and ran up to him. He hugged her and chuckled.
THE NEXT DAY
Camilla and Jake were on the plane heading to Alabama. She looked out the window at the clouds, she had a million things running through her head. They were going to be in Alabama for 6 days and she just prayed that everyone liked Jake. It also surprised her that Jake wanted to go with her. He was a shy guy, and going to a wedding and meeting her friends was not his MO.
"Hey, you ok?"
She turned to face her boyfriend and gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, I'm ok."
"You nervous?" He asked like he could read her mind. "You're worried your friends won't like me?"
"No."
"Cami, I haven't known you that long but I know when you're lying."
"Ok, you caught me."
He smiled and kissed the top of your hand.
"I'll definitely not be what they're used to." He admitted.
They shared a laugh.
When they landed, they got their bags and they rented a Tahoe. They drove from West Mobile to Downtown Mobile. They checked into their hotel that was right across from the Convention Center, where Chelsea's wedding would be in just 4 days.
As soon as they unpacked, Camilla called her friend.
"OMG, are you here yet?"
"I am." Camilla giggled.
"Great!" Chelsea said happily. "It's lunch time, have you and Jake eaten yet?"
"Actually no."
"We'll meet you guys at Royal in 15 minutes." She said and handing up.
Camilla hung up the phone and laughed. Camilla just prayed that her friend would like her boyfriend. Two hours later, Camilla was with Chelsea getting fitted for her dress.
"So?" Chelsea said with a big smile.
"What's wrong with him?"
"He seems like a great guy." Chelsea said. "Is your relationship with him getting serious?"
"I don't know." Camilla said standing while the tailor altered her pool blue short sateen dress. "It's too early to tell."
"You brought him to your best friend's wedding and you're saying you don't know if it's serious?"
"Chelsea, you're getting married…can we start talking about YOU now?"
"No." Chelsea giggled. "I've already found my guy."
Camilla was happy she was spending time with her best friend. She was also glad to be back home. She loved being in Alaska with her dad and grandfather but she did miss the south.
The last few days has been hectic for both Jake and Camilla. Jake had spent a lot of time with Chelsea's fiancé, Trevor and some of his buddies. He was actually enjoying himself and Cami was glad about it. She was really nervous that her old friends wouldn't like him, turns out she had nothing to worry about. Even though Trevor was the typical young lawyer type, he and Jake were becoming good friends. Cami's dress was ready and she went to pick it up and headed back to the hotel when she walked in, Jake was on the phone. He hung up moments later and pulled Cami into his arms.
"So, there's nothing for us to do today." He said kissing her. "Wanna show me where you grew up?"
"Sure." She smiled. "It's going to take us a little while to get there but I think you'll like it."
They got into their rental car and headed to Dauphin Island.
