3.

Vine prayed that no one, especially Clare to spoil her day, she just wants a smooth day as she makes plans for the wedding, she greeted the few people she saw as she kept walking to her office.

"Hello Vine" Cleo, the secretary in her office greeted

"Good morning Cleo, you came early today, is there any occasion?" Vine took her seat behind her desk

"Not really, wanted to stay away from my nagging husband as early as possible today" Cleo pressed down on her computer like what she just said was not a touching matter

"Oh..." Vine didn't know what to say so instead of replying she concentrated on her own business.

"Now how do I comply a weeding budget" she asked herself as she typed on her system.

"You can start with the payment of the wedding hall, ask if there will be a kind of after party or something like that" Daisy, Vine's colleague and friend, who was Clare's financial assistant walked in.

"You're always an aid in my frustrated life" Vine smiled

"Good morning Cleo" Daisy greeted the secretary and walked behind Vine.

"What have you gathered so far?" Daisy bent a little to view what's in her friend's screen

"Bills for flowers" Vine laughed at herself, she was not good at this at all

"Damn girl, seriously?" Daisy chuckled 

"Yea?" Vine didn't know anything about wedding planning, but she had no choice but to do the job as  professionally as possible. 

"First of dear, you need to ask the future bride and groom what they prefer, you're going to do the picking out of weeding color, the dress and the suit of the groom, first of make a list of available space in doing the date they pick and make payments immediately for that place they will choose, next inform them to give you the list of guest they would like to invite and you'll make a weeding invite and send to them, after that you calm down and think of the materialization of the wedding, like flowers, food, drink and et cetera." Daisy sighed and went to take her seat finally.

"What will I do without you" Vine turned and went back to her computer, after several clicking she stood up and went to Clare's office.

"You have one job to do without involving me in stress but yet you come now to disturb my fucking peace Vine" Clare complained just as she saw Vine walk in

"Can you let me talk first princess? I promise I won't take too much of your time." Vine rolled her eyes at Clare that was being a bitch. Clare would definitely have a fit if she caught Vine's eye roll but thankfully she barely ever look at anyone but herself.

"Speak, but be first I'm really busy right now so you have two minutes." Clare said acted just like a spoilt princess. 

"Can I start by asking what will make you busy when you're supposed to concentrate on your wedding" Vine walked closer to the desk.

"I'll be traveling to Ireland for a very short movie soon" Clare sighed

"Very Short movie?, Isn't that too low standard for you?" Vine brow stood curious. She didn't even bother asking why she _Clare's personal assistant_ wasn't aware of her schedule. Clare overlooked Vine's role many times except when wanted to stress her.

"It's none of your concern, I can act what ever I want to! you're not me personal advisor" Clare relaxed back in her seat to look bossy over Vine 

"I will never want to be your personal advisor, I'll run mad" Vine sassed back at her quietly so Clare wouldn't  hear her "Alright Clare, and by the way I'll need you to tell me some of your preference before I start planning" 

"Go on" Clare replied

"First of all, is there a date for the wedding yet?" Vine took a seat opposite her without being ask to. When Clare didn't object, she relaxed. 

"The wedding is in two months time after my project at Iceland, but no particular date yet" Clare replied

"Okay, what's the general colour you'll like for the day" Vine asked as she typed on her tablet

"I'll like skyblue maybe or baby blue" Clare replied after a minute of thought

"Okay, when will you do the clothing section? After your project or before you travel?" Vine asked

"Hmmm, let it be after I'm back" clare replied

"Okay, send me the list of guest you'll like to invite, tell your groom to send his own through you, then send all at ones to me" Vine said

"No no, that's stress. I'll give you his contact and you tell him yourself" Clare said as if she was avoiding talking to the dude about the wedding concerns herself

"Okay" Vine said "that will be all for now, she stood up to leave but then Clare passed her a piece of paper

"What's this?" She asked

"That's his name" Vine said and and gestured to her to leave immediately so she could go back to work

"I'll be expecting your list" Vine said before leaving

Immediately she got to the office she picked her phone and called Clare's groom to be with the number Clare just gave to her.

"Hello, this is Nathanial" Nate said as he picked the call, wondering who has his personal number that hasn't been saved in his phone

"Hello, this is Vine speaking, your wedding planner" Vine replied "I'm sorry to take your time, I need your guest list so I can get to work" Vine went straight to the point professionally even if she could swear that his low manly voice turned her on. "Did he just wake up from sleep" she thought in her mind while she blushed

"Did you hear what I said?" Nate spoke from the other end of the call

"Sorry the line wasn't stable, can you repeat what you said" Vine lied, she was distracted with the way his voice resonated and how it made her feel. She was just glad that no one could see the tomato red blush on her face.

"I said why didn't you use my business number, this is my personal contact" Nate said

"How the hell I'm I supposed to know that" Vine wanted to say be decided to stay professional "sorry sir, the number was given to me directly from your fiancee, she didn't state that it was your personal contact" Vine explained calmly

"Is this your personal contact?" Nate asked

"Why the hell is he asking me questions, I asked him just one and he hasn't replied" Vine almost went out of the game "yes sir" she rolled her eyes

"Okay, send me a text of your email address, I'll send the list through your email" Nate said and hung up just like that.

"Just like that" Vine said looking at her blank screen "gosh, they fit each other, their both arrogant" Vine complain and sent him her email through text "I can't believe I was loving his voice, he's sure a rude man..  ughh! What a total turn off" 

After the day work, she concluded on all she had to do and left the office.

On getting home she saw her fifteen year old younger brother kissing a girl at their front pouch "my gosh, has this boy turn mad?" She paid the cab driver and walked like some scary big sister to the entrance

"Mind eating her face after I make you bleed through that same mouth?"

His sister wasn't mean or anything like that but sometimes she had that terrifying vibe and it kind of scared the shit out of sometimes.

Tony immediately composed himself on hearing his sister's voice, the girl he was kissing hide her blushing face behind Tony 

"Bambi I didn't know you were coming back so soon today" Tony had no exact word to say to start this weird conversation

Vine raise a brow at him, like she never had a particular time she comes back from work.

"Okay Bambi I'm sorry?" Tony wasn't sure on what to say to make his sister stop looking at him like a kid caught stealing some chocolate at night.

"Just walk her to take a cab and come inside" Vine said and walked behind them into the house

"Babe I'm so sorry, I swear I didn't know my sister was coming back this early, I'm sorry for the embarrassment" Tony sounded sad, his plans definitely didn't work out.

"It's okay Tony, at least she didn't act rude towards me" the girl said shyly

"I'm also sorry I couldn't introduce you the right way, I'll make sure I do that next time" Tony prayed that there would be a next time, hoping his sister wouldn't be so mad at him and maybe stop him from seeing the girl, the answer was waiting for him when he enters the house.

"See you tomorrow at school?"  Tony's friend asked, looking nervously from brother to sister.

"Of course"  Tony waved her off as she got into her private car, her driver came out and opened the door for her, she turned back to look at Tony with a small smile before her driver shut the door.

Tony took a while outside stalling before entering the house, his sister had already prepared a quick noodle for them, she passed him a plate and took a seat on the cabinet stool.

Tony stood there, looking for what to say first, he sat down beside her and mumbled a thank you.

"You're welcome darling, so who's your friend" Vine asked calmly, it made Tony unsure of the situation he was in.

"She's my band mate" Tony replied

"Band?" Vine was confused now

"Yea, I didn't join the acting club again at school, I joined the music club inside and we made a crew today, everything happened so fast" Tony explained

"I almost forgot you had the sweetest voice I've ever heard, you stopped singing since we came to LA, what changed?" Vine didn't realize the topic had already changed.

"When we left town to LA, I felt like the inspiration of singing left me, you became so busy for me and all so I just didn't get the flare to sing anymore." Tony said

"Oh boy, I'm so sorry, I've been soo busy and I haven't been spending as much time with you." Vine said sadly

"I understand Bambi" he smiled softly at her, his sister was the most affectionate person he knew.

"So how did you join the music club?" Vine asked, trying to involve herself more in her brother's life so she won't end up a bad sister. They had just eachother. 

"Well I was passing, looking for a club that I would fit in, you said I shouldn't do something just because people wanted that from me but should be what I want, when I passed a room I heard a really nice voice that reminds me of grandma, the person sang with passion in her voice like grandma so I had to step in, it was the girl you saw earlier, her voice captivated me and I couldn't help but join her in the song, after the part, the leader of the club said I should join in and I should make a crew with the girl because she fits my vibes well" Tony explained and waited patiently for his sister to react.

"So you practically just met her and you brought her to the house?" Vine raised a brow

"That's not what happened, we talked a little and she's a really interesting person, she asked to drop me off when her personal driver came to pick her up, normally I'll say yes and that's how we got here, she wanted to walk me to the house because we were still talking about some school stuffs, but when we reached she because shy all of a sudden and ask if we could spend more time together, I said it'll be a bit wrong because my sister isn't around for me to introduce her first, but then I told her she wouldn't be back on time so we could actually go inside, she asked I kiss her all of a sudden and then I did, that's when you walked up on us" Toby lowered his face and dug into his noodles.

"She was even too shy to say a hi" Vine chuckled "it's fine, but don't do that kind of PDA in front of the house, I don't want people saying that I'm not training you well" 

"Sure" Tony nodded and continued his meal

"And I would like to see her anytime she wants" Vine join her brother with the meal.
