Kate's POV

I am glad that the press conference didn't last long. I think I was going to be lulled to sleep if I heard that old man who calls himself our mayor speak again. His voice is so monotone that I am surprised that no one ended up falling asleep during the press conference. I wouldn't have bothered to show up to this pointless press conference if I didn't have to write an article about it. Luckily, I know what angle I am doing for this article so it shouldn't be a problem to write.

Before sitting in the car, I check my messages. During the press conference, I was using my phone to record what the mayor was saying and therefore I could not respond to the texts that I received.

Ana: Hey Kate. Come over ASAP! I need some help.

Probably needs fashion advice.

Elliot.: Babe, Christian and I are going to get a drink together after work. I'll be home later tonight.

Since Elliot is currently preoccupied with Christian, I am going to go check out what Ana needs.

I text Ana that I am going to be at Escala in a few minutes.

While driving to Ana's place, I contemplate about my wedding. Tomorrow, we are flying out to Vegas for a weekend of fun and then after that is my wedding day. Where does the time go?

I am seriously counting down until my wedding. I can no longer be patient. I just hope that everything ends up to perfect; just as I had planned. Fingers crossed!

…

I enter Escala and step into the elevator. I punch in the penthouse code and the doors are about to close when Sawyer steps into the elevator.

"Good evening, Ms. Kavanaugh." He says, giving me a polite smile.

" Hi Sawyer. You know you can call me Kate." I say to him.

He nods.

"How is everything with Mia?" I ask.

" Everything is great. We enjoy spending time with one another." He answers me. "I couldn't be happier." He smiles when he says that to me.

Aw how cute!

"Im happy to hear that." I tell him.

Soon the doors to the elevator open and I walk in, hoping to see Ana.

Out of nowhere I hear, "Surprise".

What the hell!

I see everybody from Grace to Mia and a few of my closest colleagues. Then I finally see Ana and my mom.

Wait, is this a surprise bridal shower for me?

" I guess you don't need my help." I say as I give Ana a hug.

"Nope." She giggles. " This is your surprise bridal shower."

"Aw, Steele! This is so nice! " I tell her. Seriously, how thoughtful of her!

"Well, I am glad that you liked the surprise." She says to me. "Now come one and lets get this thing started!

We head into the living room where everything is decorated in my wedding colors: grey, white, and pink. There is a table designated for presents which is stocked with gift bags and nicely wrapped gift boxes. There is a table with food that is stocked with everything from mini sandwiches to chocolate cupcakes frosted with white frosting. Everything looks well thought out and certainly really nice.

Gail comes out of the kitchen with a tray of champagne flutes. She pours champagne in each flute and hands them out to all the women in the room.

" I would like to congratulate you once again on marriage." says Grace. " I love having you as part of the family and I hope that you have a happy marriage to my son Elliot." We all raise our glasses on that notion.

"Thank you for throwing me this bridal shower. I appreciate the amount of thought that went into it. I am grateful to having each and every one of you in my life." I say, trying, but failing to hold in the tears of joy that are falling down my face.

This is simply a nice gesture on everyone's behalf and it means a lot to me.

After I dab the tears from my face and get a body crushing hug from Mia, I mingle with everyone who is present.

" Mom, you knew about this?" I ask my mother.

" Ana told me about it a few days ago. She wasn't sure if I could make it and frankly I didn't know if I was going to make it either, but I am glad I did." She tells me.

That's why Ana is my best friend!

More champagne is poured into my champagne flute as it is time to open the presents.

We make a circle in the living room. Gail helps me get all the presents on the nearby coffee table.

The gifts varied, depending on who they were from.

Gail got me a set of expensive china. " I have the same set at home and I absolutely love to use the china when we host guests at my house." She said as I opened the present. The china was in blue and white with gold adorned around the edges of the plates.

My mother got me a $500 giftcard to Bed, Bath and Beyond. Gift cards are always handy!

Mia got me an expensive set of lingerie from La Perla. There were three sets, each in a different color: one was just black with red lace and a garter belt, second was just a baby blue teddy, and the last one was a white and grey set which had Mrs. Grey written on it in a cursive grey font.

Lisa (one of my co-workers) got me a gift basket of lotions, body spray, and soaps.

Donna (the other co-worker) got me a Kama Sutra book. This book will definitely come in handy!

It seems as though all the presents were opened, but there is one missing.

"Christian and I talked and we both came to a decision." Ana says. " Christian is paying for your honeymoon. Wherever you choose to go, it is all paid for.

"That's so generous of you two, but isn't that a little too much?" I ask.

"Consider it a bridal shower gift." She says with a smile.

I walk over and give her a hug.

"Thank you Ana, for everything. You're the greatest." I say.

I turn to face everyone.

" Thank you all for your gifts. They were all very thoughtful." I say.

I receive a round of hugs from everyone as we continue the party.

Elliot's POV

"The wedding is only a few days away, bro." I say to Christian.

We are sitting in a local bar not far from GEH.

" Time flies by." Christian says, as he takes another swig of beer.

And he is right! It feels like just yesterday that I proposed to Kate at my parent's house. Sure many would say that isn't the ideal location to propose to your longtime girlfriend, but to me I couldn't hold it in much longer. Also, I knew that if I was going to propose to Kate, we would be surrounded by the ones we love and my parent's house was the perfect place to do it.

Never did I imagine myself getting married. I secretly always wanted to get married at some point. I always wanted to have what my parents had. They have a seemingly perfect marriage; it was clearly evident that they loved each other. I knew that at one point I had to stop sleeping around with random chicks, if I wanted to make marriage a reality, but it seemed hard. So I put it on hold and did what I had done since college. The first time I thought of marriage was when I had started dating Ana. But it wasn't until I had an accidental meeting with Kate that I realized that I can see marriage in my future.

And here I am, engaged, and soon to be married!

" Christian, did you ever imagine yourself in the position you are now?" I ask my little brother.

" No. But I knew that eventually it could happen." He says to me.

Everybody in my family thought that Christian was gay. He was always working and had rarely brought a girl home. Then one day, he brings home Ana and I can see tears running down my mother's face as she realizes that her son isn't gay. She would have accepted him even if he was gay. Everybody fell in love with Ana from the moment she entered my parent's house in Bellevue. I can tell my brother was crazy about her and that he was willing to treat her the way she needed to be treated.

"By the way, I need to tell you something." Christian tells me.

" Okay, bro. Im listening." I say.

" Ana and I have talked and we came to a decision." He says to me. " We decided that as a present from the both of us, we would like to pay for your honeymoon. Whatever destination that you two end up choosing, I will be delighted to pay."

"Wow, bro. That's mighty kind of you, but its too much…" I begin to say, but Christian cuts me off.

"Don't start, Elliot. It's a gift. I want you and Kate to have a wonderful honeymoon. Don't even think of not accepting the offer." Christian says.

"Thank you, Christian. I really appreciate that you are doing this for me and Kate." I tell him.

"You are welcome." Christian says to me. "After your wedding, my private jet will be waiting for you at Sea-Tac. You just tell the pilot where you want to go and he will do his magic."

"Will do." I tell him. "Thanks again, bro."

"Not a problem, Elliot." He tells me.

We spend the rest of the time talking about the bachelor party and later we retreat to our places to spend the rest of the evening with the women that we love. Our soon to be wives!
