Chapter 2 - Sunday
Kai Moretti
I tried to call Laura but the number was not available. I don't need to try to call her again because she gave me a wrong number.
What a shame. She missed an opportunity to have dinner with a billionaire.
I went home and decided to have a movie night because I still didn't get time to rest from my birthday party.
My phone rang and it's Jeremy.
"Hello."
"What are you up to?" He asked.
"Just chilling, why?"
"Want to grab a drink together?"
"How about you come to my house? My dad gave me a good wine a week ago."
"I'll be there in 10 minutes." He ended the call and I got up grabbing my wine and two wine glasses. I walked back to my living room and put it all on the table.
I turned on a random movie while waiting for Jeremy to arrive. That man is going to get married in 2 days with an Italian woman. I'm happy for him but he's only 26 so it's such a waste to get married such a young age.
I opened the door for Jeremy and he walked in. He brought pizza and I chuckled.
"Why the sudden wanting to drink?" I asked as he put the pizza on the table. I opened the wine bottle.
"Naomi is spending time with her bestfriend so I just think why don't I spend time with you?"
"It's not too late to back out." I said and Jeremy laughed. I poured the wine as he grabbed a piece of pizza. We both cheered and took a sip.
"I'm not backing out, I love her." Jeremy said as he put his wine glass on the table.
"You only dated for a year."
"When you know.. you know, Kai."
"I guess we both won't be able to jumping from bars to bars anymore." I leaned my body to my sofa.
"That's why you should date and get married."
"No thanks, it won't be fun anymore."
"You just haven't meet the right person yet." He said and I shook my head.
"Let's imagine this.. I will date a woman and then marry her. I will get not free pass to all the beautiful things in this world such as alcohol and women. Not to mention if she gets pregnant and then she will spend all my money and then she will divorce me after that.. I have to pay child support and all the bad things in life will come after marriage."
"You're dramatic." He rolled his eyes.
"You don't get it, do you?"
"No, I don't. I will never will. Your lifestyle is a mess, Kai."
"Work hard, play hard." I said and took another sip of the wine.
"Can I ask for one favour?"
"What?"
"Don't even try to hit on woman at my wedding, don't embarass me."

After I finished my make up and putting on my dress, they escorted me to Naomi's room. I knocked on the door to check on her and she's doing great. She's still getting ready and I decided to go find Naomi's parents to make sure that they're doing okay.
"Laura?" I turned to see Kai and since Naomi already alerted me about him being here, I'm not surprised to see him at all.
"Are you Naomi's bridesmaid?" He asked as he walked towards me.
"Yes."
"You gave me a wrong number two days ago." He pointed me and I nodded.
"I forgot to put the last digit of number, sorry." I said and he raised his eyebrows.
"I'll talk to you later, I'm in a middle of something." I said and left him there. I walked straight to Naomi's parents room and knocked on the door.
"Deandra!" Paige gave me a hug and she looked at me from head to toe.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you, Paige. Is everything going smoothly? Do you need anything?" I asked.
"Everything is going perfect." She said.
"Call me if you need anything." I said and she nodded. I walked back towards Naomi's room but I was stopped midway by Kai.
"What?" I looked up to him.
"Can I get your real number this time?" He asked as he put his phone in front of me.
"You don't find another Laura?" I asked and he looked at me begging.
"Add 4." I said as I was about to walk past him, he stopped me. My phone rang and he smiled when he saw his number on my screen.
"You really took out the last digit."
"I'll see you at the wedding ceremony."

As much as I tried to focus on the couple, Laura indeed stole the spotlight for me. She looked so beautiful and breathtaking.
Something about her that made me just can't take my eyes off of her.
She was constantly smiling and even cried for Naomi. She's so happy for her and once the priest announced that they're husband and wife, Laura clapped so hard.
After the newlywed couple walked down the aisle, I walked towards her. I gave her my handkerchief and she smiled accepting my friendly gesture.
"Thanks."
"So.. how long have you been friends with Naomi?"
"Not that long but she's like a sister to me." She said as she wiped her tears. I was so captivated by her that every gesture that she made making me a little fluttered.
"Should we go to the ballroom together?" I asked and she nodded. She held her skirt and we walked side by side.
"Let me hold you so you won't fall." I said as I put my hand in front of her. I took one step down the stairs and she took my hand. We walked down slowly and as soon as the stairs end, she took her hand away.
"Have lunch with me tomorrow." I said before she walked past me. She turned to me and smiled.
"I'm busy, I have work tomorrow."
"It's Sunday." I said and she nodded.
"Yeah, I'm aware it's Sunday tomorrow."
