Chapter 6: Wedding Shopping!

Evelyn's POV

"Hey! Nick here. Come down." I heard Nick.

"I'm sorry what? You call me and-" I wanted to give him a nice tongue lash but he had to interrupt.

"Mom and Elena are here with me. And they were hoping to go wedding shopping" he said in a bored tone.

"What?" I screamed and got up from my bed.

"When is our wedding?" I asked annoyed that he might have already chosen a date just as a part of his revenge.

"I have no idea. You should ask them. And get ready. We'll be there soon." He said.

"What?!" And he cut the call....

This man is getting on my nerves. I'm damn sure he would've suggested. And it's going to take 15 minutes for him to arrive here. But I need at least one and a half hour to get ready.

Huh! I'm going to take my own time. I don't care what they think. I'm not the old Ev to get ready in 5minutes. Glasses and a lip balm. Now it's time to show them what I am. 

I got into the shower, but I really tried to come out early alright. Anyways by the time I got ready it was more than one and a half hour. Oh god! I got out of my room wearing a peach color sundress. When I got out of my room Mr. Handsome was already in my living room on the couch. Watching my TV!

"How did you get in?" I asked. I am angry but I have to pretend to be calm.

"Well Mark is an expert in picking locks. And we waited for half an hour. We even called you. But no use. But then when we came inside, you were still bathing. They tried to wait but they left me here-" he said.

"Soo you thought you could make yourself home!? No one touches my TV!" I screamed.

"No, I only touched the remote" he said and got up switching off the TV. "Come let's leave. We're already late. They've given me a list of places to take you" he said, and I followed him and locked my door behind me. But I came back to recheck.

I heard him snicker behind me. "Don't worry. Your house is safe. It's just that Mark is an expert in that...... come" he said giving me his hand. I looked at his car. And then the entire road.. filled with black cars. Strange!

I got in as he was waiting for me holding the door for me. "Where to?" I asked.

He looked at me strangely and turned away, but he didn't reply anything. Rude! I was looking at myself in the rear-view mirror. The same black cars. I looked at them for a bit longer to see if they are following us. 

"Nick" I called out. When I didn't get a reply, I shook his arm still looking at those cars. 

"What?!" He said and I looked at him scared. "What?" He asked softly.

"Stop scaring me. And look... those cars are following us" I told him, but he looked at me angrily now.

"Stop annoying me! They've been following us. Yesterday too. You've observed it now. They're my men" he said and again looked out of the window. Ass!

"What are you? You're not even that famous... I mean as of I know... just a businessman. Correct?" I asked. I was looking forward to insulting him much more. But he was looking at me like I'm crazy. 

He opened his mouth to speak but closed it back again. "You... uhm... so you don't know?" He asked with pity. 

"I don't know what?" I asked confused. He shook his head, nothing and turned away again.

After some time, we reached a cake shop named Elegantly Iced. Babe... this is my dream wedding. Please someone tell me when I am getting married. We both agreed that we'd choose the date ourselves and not soo early.

"Nick when are we getting married?" I asked determined to get an answer out of him this time.

"You ask a lot of questions" he said.

"As if you answer. Now tell me when are we getting married?" I asked AGAIN!

"I don't know sweet cheeks. It's their idea. I have no say in it" he said with his hands in his pocket.

"What? They have decided our wedding date and you say you have no say in it?! Oh god! Who am I getting married to?!" I said looking up at the sky.

"Stop being dramatic. We have to get married one or the other day. Who cares if it's too early or too late" he said shrugging.

"Look I don't know about you, but I need time to get adjusted to the idea of getting married to YOU". I said but I only heard a snicker. I threw my clutch at him which he caught easily.

I quickly ran into the shop. Nick came in behind me holding my waist and the other hand still carrying my clutch.

I snatched it back and glared at him for no reason. I suddenly found my Mom and she was looking at me gleefully like it's HER wedding. I thought it was just us. What are they doing here.

"Evelyn... sweetheart have you thought about which flavour you wanted? After all we want to make this your dream wedding." Aunt Nina said.

"Uhmmm...... I always wanted chocolate-" but Nina ran back saying 'okay'.

"What? Chocolate? You have that every day. Choose the red velvet cake" my mom said. And no it wasn't a suggestion, it was an order. Like I'll follow. 

"No Aunt... I want her to choose what she wants. After all this will be her only wedding. She'd get to be a bride only once" he said teasing me. I glared at him again, but I was happy inside that he supported me.

Aunt Nina came back asking of I want plain chocolate or dark chocolate. I know Nick hates dark chocolate, so I chose the other one. Don't ask how. I just know cause I used to have a crush on him.

"When are you people going to finish with all these" he asked not even trying to hide his annoyance.

"Oh dear... son... me and Elena are going shopping. But.... Eve just has to visit another one store and she'll be done. Why don't you accompany her?" She asked casually making me choke on my food. Yes, we were having lunch. Now I don't know if I should feel horrified or should I laugh at him. So, I thought I could go with them. It's going to be fun.

"Now take a right here and that's it. Stop here" yes I was giving directions to the driver. Cause I just can't tell him the name of the store directly. And spoil all the surprise for Nick? Nope.

"What the......? What are we doing here?!" Nick screamed at me.

"What do you expect me to do here Nick?" I said and quickly ran out into the store laughing to myself.

A little while later I found him inside the store trying to find something and his eyes stopped on me. He didn't look angry anymore, he was much more composed.

"This wasn't a joke. You could have told where we're going. It's not like I'd not bring you here" he said but I just shrugged as a reply.

The saleswoman who hadn't even bothered to give me a second look came running towards us. She had that dreamy look in her eyes. I just hated the feeling when she looked him up and down. I don't know if he noticed or not or if it's become too common for him to get such looks that they don't have any effect on him anymore.

"This one" he said looking at me but pointing towards something while I was busy gawking at him all along. How can anyone be so handsome and so good looking! That is in good words. I just know he's going to keep me very well satisfied. Thank god I'm getting married to him. He snapped his fingers in front of my face bringing back from my thoughts again.

"Why don't you try these? I'm sure they're going to fit you." He said pointing at some doll with a black lacy corset bra, then garter, stockings.  

"How do you even know it's my size" I asked suspiciously. 

"Just a wild guess" he said winking at me. "So you'll try?" He asked.

"Nope. If you've come shopping with me you should know that I don't try things. I try them only after I go home. We'll keep these" I said the last sentence to that women who was still looking at him. 

I just got out with four bags in my hands. I couldn't shop freely. One, I wasn't comfortable with that woman looking at him all the time and two, I miss Cara. She has just vanished with her new guy.

By the time we reached home it was 7. I can have a long shower and then go to sleep. When I got out the first thing I saw was those black cars. I unlocked my door and got in but Nick did too.

"Nick... I'm not comfortable with those people following us all the time" I said frowning at him. Doesn't he have any other solution for this?

"I can't help it Cara. We need them. Usually I don't have so many following behind. But you were there and our mothers. Sooo" he said.

"But-" he smashed his lips onto mine. Tasting every part of me. And biting my lower lip again. I don't know how but I was already pressed against the wall with his hands supporting my bottom.

"Nick stop... we're not doing this!" He raised his eyebrows at my statement. "I mean... neither is it the right place nor the right time." I said.

He pecked my lips one last time and straightened himself before he put me down. "Soon.... can't wait for the wedding night" he winked and turned his back going to the door.

"Nick this is not a real wedding." I said but the glare he gave me shut me up.

"This is a real wedding. This will be your only wedding. That's why I said it's your dream wedding and everything will be as you wish. As you want. You just have to ask. This is a real wedding in all ways. Just no divorce" he said and slammed the door behind him with a bang.

Well this was my day #1 for the wedding shopping. This is how it ended. Getting me all over confused again! Seriously? Real wedding?!
