I had just finished showering when mommy calls. "Yes, mom?" I answered her call. "Sweetie, Logan needs you to measure what you're going to wear for your wedding" mom said. My heart beats faster because of what mom said. Weeks from now, Logan and I are married, time flies really fast! "Logan isn't here, mom. The hospital is busy right now so, he needs to be there" I said. "Oh! I see. Call Logan and tell him about it" "Okay, mom, I'll tell him" I replied to mom. "Oh, sweetie. You're going to get married, I will miss my baby" mom said sadly. "Mom, I'm still your baby even though I'm married, and you can borrow me anytime" I said laughing. "Hmm, okay, I'll borrow you, but if you give me a grandchild then, I won't borrow you" my mom giggled. "Mom! Stop talking about grandchildren, please?" My mom laughed from the other line. "Why? It's normal to talk about grandchildren" "Yeah, I know but you're making me blush, mom" I said softly. I heard mom laugh again. "So, you're uncomfortable talking about grandchildren, sweetie? Then I'll ask Logan instead" My eyes widened at what mom said. "What? No!" "Just kidding, sweetie. I'm so excited to see my future grandchildren. I'm old and my baby is getting married so I need grandchildren, maybe Logan can give me a dozen of babies, eh?" "I'm not gonna have a dozen of babies, mom. I would be contented with three children" I said and then roll my eyes. "Oh, I'm not sure about that three children, sweetie. I think Logan is expert when it comes to bed so, obviously you can produce babies in one day" said mom and then laughed again. "Mom! Please!" I said irritably. "Okay okay!" said mom while still laughing. "Just tell Logan, okay?" mom said so I answered "Yes" and turned off the call. My cheeks were still red so I calmed myself first before calling Logan. It rang for a while when he finally answered the call. "My love ..." My heart beats faster when I heard his voice. "H-hello ..." I stammered. "Hm, yeah?" "U-uh ... Mom said we need to measure for what we're going to wear for our wedding" I said. "I'm busy right now, maybe I can make time on Thursday. Is that okay to you, my love?" He asked. "Uh, yeah" I said awkwardly. Silence reigned over us. I heard that Logan was called because he needed to visit a patient. "Uhm, m-my love. I'll hung up now, I know you're busy. I'll call you again on Thursday, bye" I said. I was about to drop the call when I heard him call my name. "Hm, yes?" I asked. "I miss you ..." My heart raced again because of the words he spoke out. Unconsciously I opened my mouth and said the word that came from my heart. "I miss you, too" *************** Two days passed and It's already Thursday. I'm fixing myself now because Logan said we'll meet this lunch. Moments later, I'm finished as well. I looked at the time and saw that it was 11:38. I immediately went down to the living room, and I decided to call Logan. It rang three times, and he answered it. "My love ..." Logan speaks. "Uhm, I'm ready, my love where are we--" I haven't finished what I was going to say when I heard him swear. "I'm sorry, my love but I think I can't go with you today. The hospital is loaded again" "It's okay. I will go there alone--" I haven't finished what I was going to say when he spoke again. "No! You're not going there alone, my love. Ask Brick to accompany you" he said worriedly. I smiled before answering. "Okay, I will ask Brick" I said. "I'm sorry ..." he apologized to me. "It's okay. I understand" I replied to him. "I'll get you back next time" he said so I laughed. "No need, my love. I know you are busy and I understand" I heard him sigh when I heard someone call out to him. "I'm sorry again, my love, but I need to hang up now. The nurse is calling me" "Okay, my love. Keep safe there" I said softly and then turned off the call. I don't want to admit that I'm sad because Logan can't come. I understood him 'cause the hospital needed him, but i can't deny that I'm sad. My attention was distracted by the man who spoke. "Sweet. I wish I had Logan too" I roll my eyes at what Brick said. I didn't answer him and went downstairs again. He quickly approached me so we went down together. I just kept quiet while getting water from the kitchen. "Are you sad because Logan can't come?" I frowned because of what he said. "You know we have to meet today?" I asked, wondering. "It's so obvious, Vianne. You're dressed up while talking to Logan. Of course you have to go somewhere that unfortunately got canceled." he said. I didn't answer and drank the water again. "Where are you going? I'll come with you so you won't be sad anymore" “I’m going to measure a gown for Logan and I’s wedding today” I said "Oh, right! Aunt Criselda also told me that I also need to measure. Okay, let's go now" He said so I nodded. "I'll get dressed first so we can leave" I nodded at him again. He went upstairs to get dressed so I waited in the living room. A few moments later, Brick came out wearing a white shirt and black jeans with white shoes. He look simple but attractive. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting" he said. "It's okay you didn't take long anyway" I replied to him. We walked to the garage to get his car. We got in his BMW when we saw it. "Ah right, I don't know where the boutique is that mom said. I'll just give you the address just in case you know" I said when I got into the car. "No need. I know that boutique" he said. "Oh ..." that's all I could say. He started the car and a few minutes ago we still did not leave the house. I looked at Brick I saw him looking at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a questioning look. "Wear your seat belt, Vianne. Maybe I think you want me to wear that for you" he said then smirked. I immediately put on the seatbelt and stared at him. He laughed out loud and started to drive. "Maybe you're used to Logan because he's the one wearing your seatbelt" he said and my cheek immediately turned red. "Not so! I just forgot" I lied. He's right I'm used to Logan but I won't admit it to him. "Okay ..." he said but it was obvious on his face that he didn't believe what I jist said. Ugh! This guy! We were silent for a few minutes but the silence was immediately broken Brick spoke. "Shall we eat first or just later after measuring your clothes?" Brick asked. "Later after measuring" I said and he nodded. Brick and I were just talking in the car and it was only a matter of time before we reached the botique. Brick and I entered the Botique and were immediately greeted by the staffs. We smiled at them and asked whose reservation we had come here. "Uh, Mr. Gray and Sylvistre reservation" Brick replied so, the staff immediately looked at the list. "Are you the bride and the groom?" The staff's question startled me. "No ... I'm the bride but he's not the groom" I said awkwardly. I heard Brick's weak laugh just next to me. "Oh, I'm sorry" the staff apologized so I just smiled at him to say it was okay. The staff immediately followed him so that we could be measured. "It's because we looked together, Vianne, so I was mistaken for a groom" Brick whispered to me while laughing. "Shut up ..." I whispered back to him. I was just shaken because of what he was saying. If I just didn't know him I might mistaken him for looking at me. "Here, Ma'am. You can choose your gown" said the staff as they showed us the different styles of gown worn by the mannequin. I approached the gowns and looked at the designs. These are the designs that I told mom, but I still have to choose what suits me better. "This way, sir" I looked at the staff who pointed out where Brick could choose what to wear. I looked at the designs again and finally found something I like. The staff then picked it. I refused the staff when she told me that he would help me fit the gown. I’m not comfortable showing up my body. I tried to wear the gown, but had difficulty because of its many straps. I struggled for a few minutes so, I decided to call the staff and help me. When I was done I immediately went out and saw Brick reading the news paper. It looked at me and examined what I was wearing. I walked over to the large mirror to look at myself. I liked the design of the gown but it was tight on me. Did I gain weight? Why is it so tight? Mom hasn't made a mistake with my body size because she has memorized it but I'm wearing it tightly now, I've gained weight. I was starting to worry about the reason I was getting fat. I might make my wedding ugly! My mind stopped when Brick spoke. "You look lovely in that gown, Vianne. I'm sure Logan will definitely drooling on you" he said then smirked. "Drool? That's an exaggerated word, Brick" I said and smirked at him. "Oh, you can say that 'cause you didn't notice him drooling on you" he said while laughing. I just shook my head at what he was saying. "Wait, are you done measuring?" I asked him and he answered. "Only women who take a long time to measure" he said and this time I rolled my eyes at him. He just laughed at my reaction. I called the staff and told him that the gown was too tight for me so they just took my body size to make me a gown again. When we finished measuring, we immediately went to a restaurant to eat. "Do you want us to go to Logan's hospital?" Brick asked me. I immediately shook at him. "I'm sure he's busy right now, we might get in the way" I said and he fell silent and didn't speak. We just continued eating and when we finished, we immediately went home. I fell asleep when we got home and woke up in the afternoon. I ate dinner and went to the bedroom to sleep. I was just coming out of the bathroom when my phone rang. My eyes widened when I saw that Logan is calling. I cleared my throat first before I answers the call. "My love ..." I answered and my cheeks immediately turned red. I never thought I could say it in a sweetest voice. Vianne, obviously, you missed him that much! "You look lovely with your gown ..." I frowned at what he said. "How did you see?" I wonder question. "I asked Brick to take a picture of you wearing your gown" my cheeks blushed because of what he said and couldn't speak. "But you'll look more lovely when you wear that gown in our wedding ..." Logan said softly. I bit my lip because of the tightness of my heartbeat. "Please, don't give me that flowery words of yours ..." I said I heard him laugh on the other line. "What? I'm just telling the truth" This doctor doesn't seem tired. He has a lot to say. "Aren't you tired? You should rest now. Hang up this call and rest, I know you're tired" I said "I am, but, let me hear your voice just in 30 minutes" I bit my lips again because of what he said, and we continued the conversation. My heart was just pounding and my cheeks were red as we talked until we said goodbye to each other.
