AN: Here's the next chapter. I don't know if any of you guys will, but I started school up again. I'm a senior and I'm soo Glad it's my last year of high school. My high school sucks. Hopefully some of you had/are having a way better time than I am. Hopefully college will be better…more enjoyable. Anyway, Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last one! It really helped me get the courage to start and finish this one. Sorry for any mistakes. My keys were sticking pretty badly.
Chapter 17 (Late June, 2075)
I've been awake for a year now. Damon and I's wedding is a little under three months from now and Caroline has been flipping out on me because I haven't really planned anything. Damon ignores her and I just pretend to listen. I know what I want. I just haven't done anything to plan it or have it ready.
That isn't really a good thing now that I think of it.
I'll figure it out.
There's not really a whole lot to plan anyway. I couldn't envision any kind of big wedding for Damon and I. There would only be about five or so people attending. More if Matt brought his family but that's about it. I had a few coworkers I might possibly invite. Damon did too. He'd finally gotten his restaurant up and running a month ago so he'd met some people.
Really, I was figuring we'd have the wedding at our home. At this point, I just wanted to be married to Damon. I didn't really care about anything but that. I'd waited long enough that I didn't care to have a fancy wedding. It just wasn't my thing anymore. Sure, if I'd been able to marry Damon sixty year ago, it probably would've been quite a bit bigger than it will be. At that time, I would've possibly liked and wanted a big wedding. Now, it just isn't my dream.
Despite Caroline's complaining, I had found my dress. I figured I'd make Caroline my Maide of Honor simply because I knew she'd enjoy it. Plus, it might make her calm down about all the other things I hadn't done or planned yet.
Damon and I had decided on the date together. We were going to be married on September twenty eighth. It'd been a random date Damon had come up with after I'd mentioned that I'd like for us to be married sometime near or in the Fall.
Fall had always been my favorite season. When we were younger, Jer and I would always play around in the piles of leaves our dad used to rake up. We'd throw the at each other, too. We both loved Halloween because we got to carve pumpkins though Jeremy has always said thanksgiving was his favorite. Boys and their food.
One year our mom had decided to grow pumpkins in our backyard. We didn't get very many but it was pretty cool. The outside cat we had at the time would tunnel through the vines and he smelled horrible. So, fun fact: don't go into a pumpkin patch or let your dog or cat do it either. Apparently it stinks.
Caroline's favorite had always been both spring and summer. She had reasoning for that but I really can't think of it at the moment. I believe it has something to do with flowers. Or maybe it was just the weather. Caroline hated winter and snow. She believed snow was gross the day after it had fallen and that winter was depressing.
Damon had then proceeded to argue with her because supposedly, winter was his favorite season. I have a feeling he did it just to irritate her. It worked. Stefan and I had stood back and watched them banter back and forth about winter for about an hour.
Yeah, we really had nothing better to do.
Okay, so now it's August. I'd finally appeased Caroline by allowing her to pick out her dress and having everything else planned and ready for next month. After that, she'd left me alone. Except for the occasional text or email of different places that she thought would be perfect for Damon and I's wedding.
Granted, yes, some of the places were pretty neat. However, I loved our house and I was set on having the wedding there. Damon and I had spent a few weeks planting flowers and other various plants throughout the front yard and backyard. It looked really good. I was proud of it.
I'd also finally found my wedding dress. It was strapless and white. It was made of lace and it had somewhat of a train so it was longer than Caroline's had been. Caroline hadn't thought it was glamorous enough until she'd seen me in it. She then declared that it was perfect.
I just finished my shift at the hospital and am heading home. Caroline had apparently decided to endlessly text me during my whole nine hour shift. I think most of it was out of boredom.
Did I mention that I was forced to get glasses?
Yeah.
Not fun. I feel like an old person and I'm barely into my twenties. Good thing is that they're only reading glasses so I don't need to wear them 24/7.
Damon had decided to get off early today so he's been home for a few hours. God knows what he was doing all day. I swore I caught him a few days ago looking through the wedding magazines I have laying around. He wouldn't admit it, but I know he was looking. It was a bit funny considering he constantly told me to leave him out of the plans. He wasn't interested and anything I chose would be great.
I rolled my eyes and left him alone after that conversation. I knew even if he didn't care, he was still curious. And nosy.
AN: Okay, so, sort of short chapter. But, the next one'll be up soon. One or two more left depending on how much I write into the next. No more than two chapters though. I promise! Oh! Before I forget, thanks to everyone that reviewed last chapter! Sorry I've been taking so long but I keep getting on and off writers block plus I've been exhausted from school. Let me know what you guys thought!
:)
