When We Meet PEACE, NO WAR?
PEACE, NO WAR?SHOPPING with Jenna was something I dreaded as her cousin. She has this amazing stamina while I have a problem with my heel.It's not like I can lessen the pain by wearing flat-heeled sandals. It's just something that I inherited from my grandma. She had the same problem. The solution is less walking. Which seems impossible today. "Jenna, this is the last boutique. Please." "The last for today. I hope we can find something for you here." she walked inside the boutique that has this lavish outlook on the outside."I'm looking for a bridesmaid dress," Jenna announce to a rather jovial-looking girl at the counter."What colour would you prefer to have a look at?" The same girl asked.Jenna looked around for a while, not answering the girl's question."Any colour frankly and any type of dress," I answered. I'm the one who is going to wear it right? So it's better suited to my preference.The girl which has a name tag that reads as Rebecca called out another rather elegan
When We Meet CAKE ANYONE?
CAKE ANYONE?JENNA as my cousin and as the bride are two different people. One is calm, happy, kind and nice to be with. One quality that can be good and bad at the same time is being a perfectionist.The same person however as a bride is like a horror movie. I don't understand the term bridezilla before this. Looking at her, I now fathom the term 'Zilla' at the end. Warning though, don't tell her that. She will chew me as dinner and flush me during breakfast.Jenna as a bride is terrifying. She needs everything to work out as she planned in small detail. She wants the seating like this. Flower arrangements like a Google picture. The bridesmaid has to walk like this and wave like that. I must smile as I meant it. Wedding planner? She is an event manager. Imagine that event planner as a bride. Cool ha!"I have looked around, Regina. My shoes are missing and the hair clips are missing. On top of that, we are late for the cake tasting." She sat down, looking under the bed and fat tears
When We Meet THE FIRST OLIVE BRANCH
ALEX POVTHE FIRST OLIVE BRANCHI must have been out of my mind.That's the only explanation I can offer as Regina and I stroll through Plaka. It was foolish of me to bring her here, knowing that this place has a reputation for driving any girl or woman crazy with its endless shopping opportunities.Crazy and indecisive.One moment she adores something, and the next moment she dismisses it as just average, claiming she can find something better elsewhere."I think we should visit the Acropolis first. It can be our final stop," I suggest.Regina bursts into laughter. "So that I'll be too exhausted to shop?"Hearing her laughter, especially after our somewhat awkward introduction, feels refreshing. Beautiful, attractive women surround me constantly, seeking my attention like ants drawn to sugar. They thrive on it.But Regina is different. She doesn't actively seek attention; it naturally gravitates towards her.Her laughter isn't childish, but I can catch glimpses of her carefree, uninhi

You and Alex need to walk together as a couple," Jenna urged me, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.Letting out a weary sigh, I turned to face Jenna directly. "Was this your plan all along? To play matchmaker between me and Alex?" I asked, searching for confirmation in her expression.Jenna's mischievous smile confirmed my suspicions, which had lingered since the very beginning. She had been orchestrating this behind the scenes."How do I make you understand, Jenna? Brandon is the only one I love," I said, my voice filled with frustration. This wasn't the first time she had tried to pair me up with one of her friends, but this time it felt different—more forced than ever before."I just want you to be happy. Is it wrong for
