Song of the day :  You favorite song right now : )

Kaitlyn

Calm down,  you're not the one getting married.

If only I knew how many times I had repeated that in my head , then maybe , just maybe , I wouldn't be acting like the squirrel I looked like right now. Damn , I hope my curls still look intact .

I wish Eva was here at least she would know what to do.

So my family house wasn't the sh*t , it was pretty normal and my mum was pretty normal too , so , I would say. I didn't want to go in there , something about seeing my entire family after so long didn't sit right within me. Not like I didn't miss them , I've just been avoiding them  for a long time and now I feel so guilty for doing that.

I brushed off the feeling  and walked towards the door, before that knock that I had been contemplating in my head could happen , the door had already swung open.

Face to face , right in front of me , stood my mum in a light pink dress , her red hair almost looked orange now , and you could tell right away that she was greying and was only covering it up with dye.

"Katy ! " My mum said as she moved towards me with a hug , her vanilla scented perfume that I used to remember her always talk about when I was younger filled my nose. She hadn't changed at all, she was still the same.  The gentle smile that played on her lips as she pulled back and looked at me made me feel even more guilty for abandoning her for so long.

"Mum" I took in a long pause as we both stared into each others eyes , I could feel the tears welling up already,  just ready to spill " I'm so sorry for leaving you."

My mum smiled and hugged me again , she placed a hand on my back as she said "Well, you're back home now and that's all that matters, come inside , let's get you something to eat , then we'll get you ready for the wedding."

I smiled as she pulled back, and I mouthed a 'thanks'.

So maybe mum hadn't changed,  but the interior of the house had changed a lot , the walls were painted white and some beautiful artworks were just about every corner of any wall you laid your eyes on. I wasn't surprised though, my mum loved art and being an artist herself, I could tell some of the pieces she had made herself.

My eyes caught the huge white dove painting that covered almost the entire wall just right above the couch.

"I remember when you used to paint that " I said as I walked towards it , it wasn't just a regular dove , it was crested with diamonds on some parts of the body . The finishing was nice and I know that it was one of my mum's most cherished work.

"It took me a long time to get that done, it means so much to me "

I gave her a small smile.

"By the way , where's Lucy ? " I asked as I grabbed a piece of biscuit from the small plate that my mum had dropped on the table.

I watched her smile disappear and her eyes quickly moved away from mine.

"What ? " I asked, a confused expression written all over my face " What happened to Lucy ?."

"Lucy can't make it."  She replied quickly. Too quickly.

"What do you mean  by she can't make it ?" I couldn't think straight anymore "What is it that you're not telling me."

There was a brief pause then she finally spoke up.

"Lucy got into a car accident few days ago and no, I didn't lie to you when I said that she was coming for the wedding , we didn't just  expect the accident."

"What ? ,and why am I just hearing this now ?" I asked, I didn't know how much longer I could keep my voice together.

"Look , I didn't want to spoil your mood and ruin your happiness with a sad news , it's your sisters wedding , I expect you to be happy while you're there , Macy doesn't know yet and I don't want you to say a word concerning this to her until the wedding is over ."

I nodded " How is Lucy doing ? "

"She's doing great. The doctor called earlier today and her vitals are intact."

"Good, can I go and see her after wedding ?"

"Sure, but first ,let's get you ready for the wedding."

*****

"Wow , didn't know you had good taste in clothes , you look great "

"Thanks mum, but, Eva helped me pick this out "

Her smile dropped immediately. Shit, I had forgotten that my mum didn't like to hear Eva's name , because Eva wasn't a normal person ,she would say to me and that didn't stop my friendship with Eva.

"So you still hang out with her ? "

"Mum, Eva has helped me with a lot and even though she has tattoos and piercings she's still a great person and a friend to have "

She remains quiet and then says "If you really like her then I understand , come, let's get that silver bracelet ,I think it would go well with your necklace "

Gerald

So I didn't want to tell my guys about the whole pregnancy thing with Beck , because I knew they were going to say that it was totally my fault and which I admit , it was.

Everything that happend last night came as a shocker to me , handling things like this wasn't my strong point. My best friend is getting married today anyways so he wasn't even an option for who I should talk to  about this.

I called Beck as soon as I saw her text about being pregnant , the number of times I had asked her if she was sure I was the father was countless. Somewhere inside of me knew that Beck was capable of lying about a pregnancy just so that she could get attention and money from me.

We had both made a deal to visit the doctor tomorrow for a proper pregnancy test by  my long time friend and Doctor, Bruce.

In as much as worry and fear filled my heart , I still had a wedding to attend and If I didn't show up Zach would never forgive me.

So I booked an early flight , since the wedding was late in the afternoon and it was just a two hour flight away from here , I'll definitely make it to the wedding early enough.

I checked my watch, my flight was in the next thirty minutes.

THIRTY MINUTES TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEDDING.

I watched at the females at they all danced to the soft music that blared from the speakers. Everyone looked happy and cheerful , everyone except me.

I took a large gulp of my wine and sat there in silence , this was unlike me , not like I was the happy and cheerful type but I was hardly sober and when I was , it never showed in public, I looked and felt like a mess.

My eyes caught a glimpse of red haired woman who sat few meters away from me , her hands furiously tapping on her phone as she looked up almost every ten seconds.

Something about her made me want to talk to her , well, because she looked lonely and not because she was obviously hot and that dress didn't do much to hide her cleavage.

Nice.

I walked up to her , slowly , but gently so that she wouldn't think I was some kind of creepy stalker that has been watching  her for the past five minutes.

"Hey" I said ,trying to grab her attention.

She looked up immediately and I was hit by the most beautiful pair of eyes that I've ever seen. F*ck that tempting cleavage, I had something I was drawn too. I wondered if she knew that people could  get lost in those eyes of hers.

"Hey" She said and it sounded more like a question , confusion was written all over her face now.

I know what she must be thinking , that a creepy dude that she just met can't stop staring at her face.

"I'm, I'm sorry " I stuttered " it's just that your eyes are - " she cut me short "Distracting ? , I understand,  I get that most of the time"

"I'm Gerald" I said as I brought out my hand for a hand shake.

"Gerald ? , from the witcher ? " She asked and I almost smiled "Sorry, I know that was lame , I'm Kaitlyn " she shook my hand and gave me a small smile.

"You have nice hands by the way and no , I'm not Gerald from the Witcher , he's more built than I am " I said and I watched her eyes roam my body really quickly.

I noticed that ,sweetheart.

"Thanks."

We talked through out the afternoon till the evening , there was something about her that I liked.

One was the fact that she had no idea who I was and what I did for a living and Two was the fact that she had not brought anything about herself up to me and that wasn't something I got to experience anytime I met a female.

"I hate to see you leave " I said to her as we both sat on a chair that gave us a nice view of the lake metres away from us.

"Me too" She said and I didn't fail to miss the blush on her cheek."I only came here for my sisters wedding and I'll be leaving soon."

"Wait , that was your sister ? You mean the bride ?."

I know I sounded stupid but,her sister just married one of the youngest richest billionaires a.k.a my best friend.

"Yeah, is there a problem ?."

"No, your sister got married to my best friend that's all "

I watched her mouth drop in shock.

I let out a low laugh and leaned into kiss her, I was scared of rejection but when she gave in , I didn't care anymore.

"Goodnight Kaitlyn " I said as I pulled out of the kiss and walked away.
