Chapter 7

I stared at phone, probably for a whole minute. I didn't think he would reply back to my message that fast. What was going on with the world?

"Love, you alright?" Cedric asked.

"Oh, yeah it's just an old friend texted me just now" I replied.

"Really for what?"

"Wanting to meet up for lunch next week" I said, typing in my reply.

"You going to go?" he asked.

"If that's okay with you, I know you have one more week left here before you go back to work and all" I said.

"I don't mind and my dad is giving me an extended leave on my job" he said.

"Can he do that?" I asked. That was just well, unexpected.

"I guess, I mean why wouldn't he? He does want me to help out with the wedding" he replied almost too quickly.

I looked at him skeptically as I send the reply to Josh. I slipped my phone in my pocket and grabbed the bridal gown magazine and headed into the living room.

"Already picked out a dress?" he asked.

"Just getting a few ideas. I wont know what I want until when I go dress hunting, I swear this is probably the most difficult part of this planning thing" I replied.

"Try not to stress out over it love" he assured me.

"How can I not? I want it to fit perfectly not to mention if I don't get one now when will I ever find one that won't fit me let alone have my size" I said.

Cedric shrugged before sitting next to me and wrapped his arm around me and took the magazine out of my hands.

"Fine but if I hear from my cousins that I don't have a perfect dress, you'll be so sorry" I said.

"They'll have to deal" he said and we kissed with a bit more passion before Becky had to ruin it for us.

"Ugh, get a room please" she said rolling her eyes.

"Hello, I had to deal with it when Ryan was here last" I said resting my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah" she said dreamily. "Anyways, I got to head off to work."

"I thought you had the day off," I said.

"I did they just called me wanting to cover a shift" she said grabbing her bag.

"I didn't hear the phone ringing" I pointed out.

"They called my cell, don't worry if anything I'll get something to eat on the way home, I'll see you two later" she called out as she closed the door behind her.

"Bye." I said. "She is so up to something."

"How can you tell?"

"I'd lived with her and her family almost half my life before I moved out and whenever she's up to something, you can tell by the glint in her eye" I replied.

"Can it be a good thing or bad thing?"

"I don't think that there was ever a bad thing, but usually surprising things have happened" I replied.

"So you want the reception at the hall or at my aunt and uncle's house?" I asked Cedric later that night.

"I would prefer at the hall, wherever we're having it" he replied.

"Well, I did pick a few places hoping you would be fine with it while you were gone" I said.

"Don't you want to have the wedding in London though, that is where I grew up" he asked.

"I don't know I mean, I don't think my family can afford going there" I replied. "And don't even thinking about using magic to transport them."

"I wasn't, thought now you mentioned it…"

I slapped him lightly on the arm and got up to remove our plates from dinner. As I was putting them in the sink and put the water on, my cell phone buzzed and I saw that it was him calling me.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi it's Josh"

"Um, yeah I noticed, you know, caller ID" I said stiffly.

"So, I got your message and I have work early in the morning so you want me to come get you then for lunch?"

"How about we meet up? Just text me the place and I'll meet you there" I said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure I mean it'll probably give me time and what not" I replied.

"Okay then so I'll see you next Wednesday then"

"See you then" I said and with that, I hung up.

"Who was that?" I heard Cedric asked and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"That old friend I was telling you about" I replied.

"Is it Josh?" he asked.

"No, what makes you think it's him?" I lied.

"I don't know, it's just when we ran into him I got this weird feeling about him that I don't trust" he replied.

"But you trust me though, right?" I asked.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" he asked incredulously.

"I don't know, it's just…forget it" I replied. I wanted to bring up about what happened last night but I didn't want to get into it. Yet.

We talked as I washed the dishes and discussed where we would have the wedding. So far, we'd set a date, picked out wedding invites layout, the bridesmaid dresses and maid of honor. The men need their suits and what not done.

I need to get a dress and we need to set the hall issue down pat.

Who knew planning a wedding can be such a pain?

A/n: Sorry I'm a week and a day late. I'm getting the house cleaned up cause I'm having my mom's friend from north carolina who she knew for years visiting for two weeks the day after my birthday next week which by the way, holy crap I can't wait!

So Nikki here told somewhat the truth about the lunch meeting just not telling him who she's meeting up with. I guess that's something right?

Plus, more wedding details to plan out, a threat somehow made it to Nikki, the girls come to town and also someone finds out about Nikki's secret. Any guesses on who might it be? Got to find out down the road.

Also, I would post pictures of the wedding and the details on my photo bucket account but right now, I'm having password issues. Gr. So I'll let you know in time when I have those up and running.

Until then, review please! I see some of you adding them to your alerts which I do appreciate! You can review also you know! You guys rock!

Signing out for now,
