Sorry this chapter's so late! I've had a writers block + school. Also, my musical was in it's last week so we all good. I used my writers block to write a few chapters ahead to the actual wedding. Hope you guys like!
"Cato! It's so good to see you again!" Cashmere embraces him in a big hug
"And you too Clove! Congratulations! And you kept the weight off!" She pecks my cheeks
Only Cashmere can compliment and insult you at the same time.
I laugh "It's great to see you too, Cash"
Cashmere has long, flowing blonde hair, in messy, loose ringlets tied into a ponytail, sunglasses perched on her head. She wears a neutral satin trench coat, white singlet and red lace skirt with classy brown cowgirl boots. On her wrist are gold bangles, her knuckles adorned with jewels and a polyurethane handbag matching her coat. Cashmere and her brother Gloss are the very definition of class and perfection.(My ideal Gloss and Cashmere are Gunther and Tinka from Shake it up. Leave me alone okay.)
Walking in, she takes control of the situation immediately.
"Alright, Clove, girl to girl, I'm assuming you've got a box?"
Cato speaks up exasperatedly, trying to match Cashmere's pace, lagging slightly."Seriously, does every girl have one of these boxes?"
"Yes" Cash and I respond at the same time, not even bothering with his developing observation. He really should know by now.
He suddenly stops in his tracks.
"Clove...This is my house. What the hell was that box of yours doing here?"
Oh crap.
"Well...I, um...I - it doesn't matter" I say, not making eye contact. "What matters is that we're getting this show on the road"
"I can't stay long, guys. I have a meeting with the company, so lets-"
"On a saturday afternoon?" Cato asks
"Yes," Cashmere snaps "Somethings gone haywire and they need me there."
Cashmere is part of a big business. I have no idea what she does, but she's an authoritative figure, and they hang onto her every word. Hence the reason she's so on top of everything all the time. Since she's at the head of her company, she doesn't usually have to do any serious work, just sort out any issues that come up. Cashmere spends the rest of her days going to fancy luncheons with fancy people, shopping, and bossing people around.
"You've already chosen a colour scheme I assume?" She asks us quizzically.
"Umm..Not really. No." Says Cato, unsure. Cashmere sighs.
"What about the measurements of the bridal party?" No response from us.
"Venue ideas? Guest list? Invitation designs? Anything?" Again, no response.
She sighs exasperatedly. "If you guys want my help, you have to be serious. You have 24 hours to call me with the most basic details, or I can't help you. I can try, but it will be difficult. I have to go." She starts towards the door. Just before she walks out, she turns and says "Remember. 24 hours." And she walks out, her blonde ponytail bobbing behind her.
Clove stands there like a stunned puppy. "Well it's a good thing you haven't already decided on all these things" I laugh
She looks up at me guiltily
"Oh, Clove!"
"I'm sorry!" She wails."Let me make it up to you" She comes closer, standing on her tiptoes to give me a kiss, but I stop her. "Not until you tell me what colours you want."
"Bl...pur..." She mumbles.
"I'm sorry, what?" I ask, raising my eyebrows
"Blue and purple. Ocean blue and Amethyst Purple" She clarifies.
"You have got to be kidding me"
"You wish I was"
I sigh, knowing there's no way I'll win this war
"You can have purple flowers... But the dresses and ties have to be deep blue. None of this ocean crap. It's not like we're Finnick and Annie."
"Fine. We can wait for their wedding then" Clove says with a laugh.
Finnick and Annie grew up together, down the coast. Their fathers worked for the same company, and both got moved. They stayed friends, and now, we're pretty sure they're in love. They're just too proud to admit it.
I wrap Clove in my arms and kiss the top of her head.
"I love you" I mumble into her scalp
"I love you too" she whispers back.
She pulls away and smiles up at me "Well, today was an eventful day, wasn't it?"
I laugh "Yes, it certainly was."
Sorry it's so wierd, writers block. :P
I have le announcement, I'm going to India for the hols and I won't be back untill the 12th, then I have school straightaway so... probably won't be updating for 3 weeks? I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! *Glimmer voice*
Uh, yeah. But as I said, I've already written a few chapters ahead so I can get those to you asap. RATE AND REVIEW!
Take care!
