CHAPTER 5
Before I could join Kaia and dig into the ice cream, my phone rang. I knew it was him that was calling. I told Kaia who was squealing to keep it down before picking up the call.
“What do you need for the preparations?” He asked immediately I answered the call
“I don't know, we would need an event planner firstly”
“Okay, do you need my help? I can always adjust my schedule for you and do you want something quiet?” I smiled at his concern
“No it's fine I'll tell you if I do need your help and no I don't want a quiet wedding,do you?”
“Whatever makes you happy”
“Corny”
“If that's what makes you happy” He replied and I laughed
“That's stupid”
“What if I tell you I miss you”
“That's still stupid”
“But it won't be lie, I want to see you tomorrow” He stated, I knew he wasn't giving me an option, he was just making it look like I had an option but I knew I didn't
“Is that a date?” I teased
“Yes Miss Rosewater”
“So now we are being formal?” I teased with a raised brows, my lips curled into a smile
“Thank goodness we are getting married, so you can change your name from Rosewater to Russo” He said in distaste, which made me burst into laughter. I never saw sense in that name too
“Russo, more like Russia” I mocked
“Still better than Rosewater”
“Well Rosewater is better than Blackwood” I said and both started laughing, mocking different names we could think of
“I can keep my work after this right?”
“Whatever makes you happy mia cara” he replied and although I didn't know what he said at the end, my face flushed at his words. (A/n: my dear)
“So the date, what time?” I asked
“By 2”
“ohhh okay that's fine by me”
“I've asked my assistant to hire Isabella Campbell” He said nonchalantly but I squealed.
“That's a lie”
“Why would that be a lie?” He asked, sounding confused, making me squeal again. Isabella Campbell is a renown event planner and her weddings are always big and wonderful.
“The real Isabella Campbell?”
“Is there a fake one?”
“Well when you see her, you can check if she is the real one or fake one”
“Wow” I breathed
“Goodnight mia cara, I have work to do and you can continue watching your movie” He said, I hummed in reply, still in a daze and murmured goodnight then hung up. I then noticed that Kaia wasn't in the sitting room. I started looking for her and found a silhouette in the backyard. Knowing it was Kaia, I padded softly so as to not make any noise. I stopped when I heard angry murmurs from Kaia, that was when I noticed she was on call.
“I said you are fired, I don't want to see you in my shop” She shouted angrily. I heard some murmurs in reply but didn't catch what was said
“You messed with my customer’s hair, I lost a customer” Kaia said,turning around to face me, upon seeing me, she hung up
“What happened?” I asked softly
“What did you hear?” She asked and I debated telling her whether I heard everything or nothing or tell her I barely heard anything
“Everything”
“Well that's what happened”
“Is he new?”
“Nope, my manager that stole from me and f****d up my customer's hair so she wouldn't come back” She replied with a shrug
“Why did you hang up when you saw me?”
“Cause you were so happy in there”
“Doesn't matter, I'm your best friend”
“But you will be someone else's soon”
“I'll still be your best friend”
“I'm trying to come around the idea that you won't be just my best friend but someone’s wife too” She said making me roll my eyes
“You done?”
“Ugh, I was so close” She groaned
“That was stupid”
“Well it walked”
“It didn't drama queen, you almost had me fooled”
“How did you know I was faking it?”
“Cause you are stupid, and those lines were stupid” I said and we both burst into laughter
“I wonder why they do that in movies”
“Sometimes they aren't even in love with their best friend then being in love makes it reasonable” We looked at each other, I guess we were both imagining her saying she is in love with me
“Eeeeeewwww” We said in unison and started snickering
“Was the call fake too?” I asked and she burst into laughter
“That one got you good”she said proudly, happy that I fell into her trap
“You are an i***t”
“That's just your bruised ego” she said still laughing as she brought out her phone and started calling someone, most likely pizza Palace but I zoned her out
“Why would I be here vexing if he did that when I could very well land in his house and rearrange his face
“i***t” I muttered, making her snicker. We sat on the couch and turned off the TV which was on as the movie we were to watch kept playing.
“I heard you squealing, spill” She said but before I could reply, I heard the doorbell and Kaia rushed to open it. I was right, it was the Pizza Palace. Kaia bought two big boxes of pizza, with two medium sizes of parfait.
She paid after most likely insulting the delivery guy and threatening him. I don't know why she does that cause she could just pay them but I didn't listen to their conversation, instead focused on my pizza, as I ate it and scrolled through i********:. Kaia came and sat, muttering profanities about greedy people under her breath. I didn't ask because I didn't care so long as the guy was paid which he was
“So spill” She reminded, grabbing a slice. I slowly chewed mine to increase the suspense of the story, while thinking of how to mention it an exciting way. I bit into my pizza but bit into air, realizing my pizza was gone and into the hands of a smirking Kaia who was already eating it
“You b***h” I yelled, grabbing another slice and slapping her with it which made her laugh as she grabbed the other end and dragged it, effectively dividing it, then put it into her mouth, happily munching it
“I ain't telling you s**t, b***h” I said annoyed as I grabbed the two boxes and started off to my room
“I'm sorry, I'll behave”
“fucker” I said, stopping and turning to face her
“Use the door” I said and she scoffed
“As if” she said then snickered
“Damn I hate you” I said and she stuck out her tongue at me, making me roll my eyes and resume going to my room
“Fine I'll behave”
“Isabella Campbell” I said with a smirk as I sat back down, allowing her to grab a slice from the box
“You are shitting me” she said with a laugh but I silently ate my pizza
“No f*****g way”
“The Isabella Campbell?” She asked and I nodded
“What the f**k” She said, her mouth hung open in shock
“Damn my girl is getting married” She screamed and I laughed.
“I'm going out tomorrow” I stated, trying to sound nonchalant but Kaia saw through my act as she wiggled her brows at me
“The cheque, you won't need it anymore right?”
“You greedy b***h” She laughed as she dug into her parfait and turned the TV back on. She didn't even go back for me or from where she stopped
“Soooo?” I asked with a smirk
“How is Daniel?”
“He is fine, how else would he be” She replied nonchalantly
“Want me to relay a message?”
“No” I said, with an eyeroll
“I told you it wasn't going to work between us, he isn't my type”
“So,who is your type?” I asked but she didn't reply immediately
“Damn girl, you are ruining my movie”
“Bet you guys f****d” I said and that got her attention
“Of course we did” She said in a duh tone
“We are actually just friends”
“With benefits right?”
“Yes, what are you getting at”
“Where is Daniel, haven't seen him in a while?”
“He is dead” She said with a scoff making me roll my eyes
“well he is probably laying in a ditch somewhere” She continued. I grabbed her phone which was on the couch in our middle and opened it. Her wallpaper on the home screen was a picture of her in a black lacy lingerie as she sat on her bed with her legs folded behind her and a finger in her mouth which was seductivebut beautiful. I went to her i********: to check whether she stalked him
“Fine, he is getting married soon, how would I get f****d I don't want to risk getting STD’s”
“He is getting married? To who?”
“A blonde bimbo”
“You do realize you are blonde”
“Whatever”
“Loosen up, you will find someone, no wonder you have been so cranky
“I have not”
“Let's go out, this weekend” I suggested, knowing it will cheer her up, which worked
“Wow, that's so cool, it's been hard for us to go out since you got that job as the marketing manager at that your small firm.
“I'm sorry”
“It's okay, so long as we still go out though” She whined
“Of course”
“Now shut the f**k up, let watch this s**t” She ordered and I obeyed, with the motion of zipping my lips which made her scoff and roll her eyes at me
