Chapter 2
"What about this one?"
"No."
"Come on Nick, that's like the fifth dress you said no to."
"But that's not even the style I like." I said.
Becky sighed and hung the dress back up. Yeah, here we are for two hours trying to decide what color green the bridesmaid's dresses were. We already picked out her maid of honor which was a dark green strapless dress.
I was looking at some of the designs when I came across one. It had spaghetti straps but the color was blue. The dress was floor length and it had a sash that was tied at the left side and it went down to the hem of the dress.
"Found something?" I heard Becky ask me.
"What do you think? For the bridesmaids of course" I asked.
"Looks cute. Let me send that to Paige." she said, taking a picture of the dress. I was surprised enough that the store owners would even let us do that. But as long as it goes to the bridal party itself, then it wouldn't be a problem.
She got a reply back from Paige saying that the dress style is a go and that we need to pick out a different green if anything. We both discussed different colors with the sales associate who was working there. We had to get the sizes from the other girls and we scheduled a fitting two weeks from today.
"So you'll be able to come in? Okay great thanks bye" I said hanging up the phone at work early the next morning.
"Hey, how did dress shopping go?" Marissa asked.
"It went okay. Becky picked out her maid of honor dress and we picked out the style for the bridesmaids' dresses. We have a fitting two weeks from now so I need to request that day off" I replied.
"What about the guys?"
"Believe it or not, I actually do trust them in picking out the tuxes. What's going to scare me is if the pants are either too long or too short" I said. We both laughed at that.
"I just wish Cedric was here to help with most of this" I said. Marissa nodded in agreement as the phone began to ring. I sighed and picked it up.
"Hi this is Nikki, how can I help you?" I answered.
"I didn't know you were working" said that familiar British accent.
"Cedric Diggory I've been here for like a year remember?" I asked with a smile. I saw Marissa nodding at me as she walked away.
"So how did it go yesterday?"
"Went fine. Becky picked out her maid of honor dress. The bridesmaids are coming in two weeks from now to try on their dresses" I replied, grabbing a few folders and scribbled writing in them.
"I miss seeing you" he said.
"I miss you too, when are you going to come here? We do have a wedding to plan you know" I said.
"I know, I know but you know how my father is" he said sadly.
"Well, tell him that he does have a future daughter-in-law to think about" I said. I posted a sticky note on one of the folders and gave them to one of the nurses' aide who then went in the backroom.
"I know, but expect a surprise tonight" he said. "You'll love it."
"I hope so, crap I got to go. I'll talk to you later. Love you" I said and we both hung up. I continued to treat the patients and did more paperwork. By the time I was done, it was near lunch time. I've managed to book appointments for some catering halls and the flowers as well.
I trudged upstairs to the apartment after I stopped by Target to pick up a few things. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a rose along with a note. I walked over to the table and recognized Cedric's handwriting.
Love,
Go get changed into something comfortable and wait for ten seconds then come into the living room.
Love Cedric.
What the hell? I sighed happily as I put the bags on the table and went in the bathroom for a shower. I needed one badly. After I was in there for about fifteen minutes, I got out and changed into my black sweatpants and an old grey t shirt. I left my hair in a messy, wet bun.
As I made my way into the living room, since it has been less than ten seconds, I saw a figure who's back was turned from me. I got nervous but relaxed when I saw his face.
"Cedric?" I asked, surprised in my voice.
"Miss me?" he asked showing his famous grin.
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" I asked as he took me in his arms.
"Well, I had a good talking to my dad and he let me have a week off so I can help with the wedding and here I am" he replied.
"Don't tell me you used magic to get here?" I asked. Thank god Becky was out.
"How else was I suppose to get here? Don't worry, no one saw me" he said.
"True" I said, making myself comfortable on the couch.
"Did you tell your family about marrying a magic folk?" he asked.
"Not really, and besides you know how they will handle it. I'm just not ready for that yet" I said.
"I know Nick, but at some point they going to have to know" he said.
"Yeah and hopefully no more secrets this time" I said. We both cuddled on the couch, watching some TV and talking about the wedding. I had ensured my trust in him that he and the guys would pick out their tuxes. They still haven't picked out a date to do that but the wedding is in June so hopefully they'll be time.
I felt my eyes drooping and was on the verge of passing out when my cell phone rang. I saw and it was Becky calling me.
"Hey Beck, is everything okay?" I answered.
"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting anything"
"No Cedric surprised me so he's here. He said hi" I said smiling at his confused face.
"Oh okay listen Nick, you're not like what I'm going to tell you."
"Everyone's okay though right?" I asked.
"Yeah but the thing is I was getting out of class and I was in Starbucks when out of nowhere, I see Josh"
My face gone white as my mouth dropped. "What?"
"I know I'm sorry, wait you did tell Cedric right?"
"No I didn't. But now that you mentioned it I should." I replied.
"Okay, I'll be home in awhile I'm stuck in traffic."
"Okay, see you then, bye" I said, hanging up my cell phone. Crap. I had forgotten about Josh. Then again, I totally forgot about telling Cedric but I didn't know that I was going to see him again.
Who would've predicted that?
"Everything alright?" I heard him ask me, snapping me out of my daze.
"Cedric there is something I have to tell you" I said.
