The moment he left the room I took his words and got dressed up, opened the door to see Jeanette walking past.... Wrong timing. There was no need for me to step back in since she had already seen me so I took a bold step forward.
Jeanette folded her hands as she stood in a stance about to challenge me for being in Damon's room, before she had uttered anything I already thought of an excuse, just wasn't sure it would be enough to sound believable in her ears.
"What were you doing in there? Don't tell me you were helping Damon polish his tool before their wedding night" Jeanette said shamelessly eying the foot I still had in Damon's room.
What the hell? I felt like puking in her face right now. Polish his what! I knew this bitch was trouble the first day I laid my eyes on her. How dare she make such a provocative statement about me even if it was close to the truth.
"Don't lie cause I am going to call Alicia to come see this, I can't have anyone ruin this day for her even if it is you. So tell me what you were doing in the groom's room" Jeanette stood face to face with me trying to bring out the truth from my mouth by intimidating me with her useless threat.
"Fine, I went in to look for Liliana's bottle but it wasn't in there, does that answer your question? Please excuse me" I rolled my eyes and went into my room leaving her to stare at me.
I have come to know Jeanette as someone who pry into people's businesses instead of her to get herself busy in trying to get a breakout role for herself, rather she prefers to deceive herself of being an actress who is pretty well known, I am a movie freak and not once have I ever seen her on my screen.
Barely into my room, there was a knock on my door and I bet that it is Jeanette who has come back to keep poking me or she had already told Alicia about me coming out of Damon's room like it's the first time. Add this to my line of victories cause it was Alicia at the door but Jeanette wasn't withher, maybe she had gone to hide her face after reporting me to her friend.
Alicia didn't look like she was there for a fight as I had thought, surprisingly she was there to ask for a favor from me. She held in her hand the maid of honor gown meant for her friend who was supposed to fly in from London to attend her wedding two months ago but with the changes and all the rescheduling of the wedding her friend wasn't even sure if there is eventually going to be a wedding, now that there is, her friend won't be making it and now she wants me to do it since I was available and still a bit fat from my pregnancy--- an exact size of her friend, it was only naturally that I do it in her place.
Normally I wouldn't have accepted it cause it I will only be shooting myself in the leg. Being a maid of honor gives you a front row ticket to see the whole wedding take place and close enough to watch Damon say yes to her, something that I don't even think my heart might even take in.
What gave me a change of heart at that moment wasn't that I pitied her but the fact that I might never get an opportunity to be a maid of honor to someone cause all of my colleagues are all busy with their jobs that they don't even have time for relationship or marriage.
So I agreed, Alicia jumped up with joy as she pecked my cheeks before handing over the gown to me, she kept on thanking even as she went down to check on the arrangements for her wedding.
Alicia has been too occupied with it so much that I am starting to wonder to what extent was she in love with Damon that she would go through hell just to be with him. From above I looked down at her as she gave orders to the decorating team she managed to get at the last minute and they just arrived now. She went to different work stations to check on how everything was going.
She looked unsatisfied at the preparation of meals as they were all yet to began and yelled at them for being to sloppy at their job but never thought once to think that there was just so much pressure on everybody and so little time for everything to be perfect, if care wasn't taken things might turn for the worse but I don't think that will matter at all to her.
As long as the officiator, the groom and her the bride are all around I don't think Alicia would mind having the wedding in a trash hole just as long as they were married.....
"Boom" Xander tickled my waist from the back causing a fright.
I held my heart dearly as it beat rapidly than usual. "Don't you dare do that, you really scared me there"
"Sorry, I just saw how you looked so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't see me waving at you. What were you thinking about?" He stood close to me relaxing his hand on the rail.
"Nothing important" I said with a wave of hand. "I hear you are Damon's best man today".
"Yeah, he didn't exactly want me to do it cause of.... Anyways I hear you are the maid of honor, congrats" he said.
"Why are you congratulating me?" I said smiling, hiding the confused look I wanted to wear on.
"Fun fact! Do you know that there is a 15% chance that a maid of honor and the best man get to know each other more and eventually get married" he said smirking, I know he was flirting with me and I couldn't help blushing at the Xander I knew from before not the one whose gotten too serious with everything, he was a bit relax now.
"Mhm... Why 15% percent though, that's a slim chance of it ever happening" I said and he thought hard for a comeback before he lose it.
Xander took me by surprise when he took my hand and laid it on his shoulder before pushing me close to him, laying my head on his chest so I could hear his heart beat. "Listen carefully...." He said and I did listen to the thumping heart beat sound before he took my face away from his chest to look up at him. "Priscilla you are my 15%" he kept his brow eyes on me.
It felt like the whole world stopped and I could only see him. I have heard Xander's flirtatious voice and never had it sounded this like his voice right now. There I knew I was torn between two brothers.
