Our Love

Chapter 10

Nicole's POV

Okay, so I guess the crazy chick Alex talk about during the lunch is Xandra and how did this happen? We were still watching both of them bickering and I am pretty sure they won’t stop anytime soon. I look at Ace and he just look at me with an amused look on his face.

"So, I am your bridesmaid and this asshole is your fiancé’s best man?" She looks at me and frown. I nodded at her, still feeling amusing with this situation.

She huffed loudly, “No – I mean damn it, no. What the hell? This shouldn't happen!" I look at her with concern, so she continues whining, "I don't want to be your bridesmaid if this guy is the best man."

What should I do now?

I pouted slightly, "But you are the only friend I have. If you don't want to be my bridesmaid, then I have no one else to replace you." I make a puppy look just to win her heart although it is true that I have no else beside her.

She sighed loudly and tap her chin. She is thinking and she keep on looking at me and Alex back and forth. She takes a look at me once again and I make the pity look, “Okay, fine but I don't want to see that asshole. Don't let him pass by me.”

"Do you think I want to look at your face crazy girl?!"

They will start to bicker again.

"I bet you want to since you are too ugly to find any girl." She retorts back. I look at Alex and his face are now becoming so red with anger.

I started to have a headache already while I look at Ace and he is really enjoying situation like this.

"Look-" I cut both of them. "Stop both of you! I think I will murder both of you if you don't stop bickering." I look at them back and forth.

"You don't have to meet him-" I look at Xandra, "-and it goes the same to you." I look at Alex.

"You will only meet during the wedding for about 5 minutes. Okay?" Both of them nodded at me while I can still see them muttering something. I shook my head slowly, I mean what are they? Five?

"Dude, I think you can go now. I will inform you later for any change okay?" Ace told him. He then makes this weird hand gesture with Ace which guys always do then he walks away.

"I never hate anyone like I hate him." Xandra mumbled.

"You should be careful because hate can turn to love." I teased her making her snorted at my comments and rolled her eyes.

She then followed Lara to choose her dress.

I take a sit next to Ace again and place my head on his shoulder, "What a tiring day." Ace chuckled and I give him my best glare.

After Xandra pick her own dress which needs a little more fitting session, she went back home but it doesn't happen to me and Ace. We still at the store to pick out food and desert.

I choose our wedding cake also which is red velvet. I love red velvet and apparently, Ace love it too. So, everything is settled. We make our way back to his penthouse.

We were having pizza as our dinner and watching a movie while I saw Ace is typing something on his iPad, I don’t want to disturb him, so I just continue eating.

"I have finalized our guest. Do you want to see the list, or you want to add anyone?" He asked me so I just shook my head. I don't think I'll let my parents come.

"Are you sure?" I nodded my head again. I feel the tears welled in my eyes. "Shh! It is okay. I am sorry for asking, let's get you to bed. It is been tiring day for you."

I didn’t say anything, so he picks me up in bridal style and tuck me in. I don’t remember when I fall asleep, but I woke up from my sleep when I smell something good coming from kitchen.

So, I walk towards the bathroom and freshen up myself before I stride towards the kitchen slowly and watch Ace is cooking something. I walk towards him and give him a back hug.

"Morning baby girl." I take a peek at the pan on the stove and realize it is his famous pancake.

"I bet you're hungry?" He asked me and chuckled, I don’t want to deny so, I nodded and pouted.

"What do you want to do today?"

"I have two class today and I will go to the boutique afterwards for my dress."

He placed the pancake in front of me and pass me the maple syrup. I take it and pour it onto my pancake.

"Okay, text me if you back home. I need to settle some work." I show him my 'okay' sign. He went back to his room probably to change his clothes since he is wearing shirt and boxer just now.

He come back with his Armani black suit. How I know? Most of his suit is from Armani. He kissed my forehead. "Take care okay?"

"Okay." I tiptoed and peck him on his cheek.

"Thought you forget it." He winks at me. What a flirty bastard.

After I finish washing the dishes, I went to my room and change my clothes since it is time for college.

Luckily, I have only two class and it is tiring. Xandra didn't showed up today and I don't know why, she also didn't reply my text. I make my way to entrance door and saw G is waiting for me. I don’t want him to wait any longer, so I jog slowly to him. He escorted me back to car and drive to the boutique.

I spend two hours at the boutique, discussing and choosing the material itself for my wedding. I look forward to it and even Lara give me approving look of my design and telling me it is so unique and spectacular.

I think she's lying but whatever! I'll take it anyway.

I reach home at 6pm and realized Ace is still working, so I sent him a text telling him I'm home and I'm cooking a spaghetti tonight. I was making the spaghetti sauce when he reached home and he looks so tired that I pity him.

"Smell good." I turn around and walk to him. I hug him tightly giving him some strength.

"I think you should take a shower." I teased him. He kissed my forehead and went to his room. By the time, he is done with his shower, spaghetti is done. I put it on plate and place it on the table while he takes some wine for both of us.

"What should we drink this for?" I ask him while holding the glass.

"For us." Simple yet it meant so much.

"For us." I said back to him and we both take a sip.

I can’t believe that in another three weeks I will be his wife. This still feels so surreal and somehow, I don’t know whether this will work or not but I can’t turn back the decision and I will still be his wife.

I know that this started as a deal but this feeling I feel inside is too real for me to say it is all because of the contract and deal. We have thrown away the contract and decide to treat this as a real marriage, but I am still worried.

Will this marriage work like in my dreams?
