Soulmates

Chapter six - Invitations are done

Jordan's POV:

Months are passing like days. Our wedding is coming soon. We have around four months before the big day. There are so many things that we need to do. Before our day is Halloween. We have a three-week difference between the two things. Melanie and I wanted to decorate the store for the holiday. We have to think about this as well. I'm sure Cassie and Josh will help us. They are great workers. This is why they still work for us. Chelsea did what she said and found Josh a place to stay. I raised his salary to help him. He didn't want to accept it, but I made him. He is doing enough things for me. It's time for a reward. Also, I wouldn't have offered it if I didn't have enough money. I know what I'm doing with my business. The other thing is that he will stay with me. This is more than enough. One day, he might have his business. I will help him with what I can. He is one of the people that I invited to the wedding. We tried to make the list short. Cassie and Mark are coming, too. I have worked with her for a long time. She became my friend. For her boyfriend, I can say the same. They plan to get married one day, but no one knows when it will come. This is their decision. No one needs to rush with such things. I hope that Melanie and I will be able to do everything perfectly.

Melanie and I have four months to get ready for the wedding. I think I'm more excited about the Halloween decorations in the coffee shop than this. Let's say that it doesn't need to be perfect. We can do it in our style. After all, we are the owners. Today, we'll go to do the invitations. It's something simple and small, but we better finish it. Melanie has to start trying on dresses. In the end, she decided to do this alone. I would love to help her, but she won't let me. I don't know who made this rule. I can't even see the dress in the picture. I guess I have to wait.

I woke up and turned around. She is still sleeping. I don't need to be married for her to wake up next to her every day. This is pure pleasure. I love my life the way it is. I pulled her close, and she snuggled. I never thought there was someone with the same tattoo as me. They are identical. Whenever I look at mine, I think about her. Melanie might be younger than me, but it doesn't matter. I still love her the same way. I mean, like the first time I saw her. Soon, I felt a cheek kiss.

- Hey, you are awake.

- I am. What are you thinking about?

- You.

- Me? Why?

- Why not? Look where we are. So close to the big day.

- You mean so close to Halloween.

- I think we are more excited about this than the wedding.

- True. I want the coffee shops to be successful.

- They will. I promise.

- What do you want us to do today? We can lay in bed.

- All day? Don't you think this is too much?

- No. I like it.

- How about this? We should make our design for the invitations.

- Why not? We can give the person who will make them a list. It will be with the names of our guests.

- Sure. Are we going with the design we talked about?

- Yes. It will be two angel wings, which should be opened to see the message inside.

- Great. We should take the sample with us.

- Can they be black? Please.

- Sure. The text should be either white or green.

- I think white will go better this time.

- But you love green.

- I know, but this doesn't mean it goes on everything. Don't forget that most of the decorations will be in these colors.

- So? I like the combination.

- What about the cake?

- I will take care of it.

- Don't you want help? We can choose the design together.

- No, thanks.

- Ok, then. Please, don't disappoint me. - she said and kissed me

- I won't.

We stayed in bed for some time. Then we went for breakfast. We need energy for the tasks today. When we finished, we walked out. Sometimes, it's better than a car. Our first stop was to make the invitations. Melanie took the sample we made at home. I hope that they can do this for us. It's simple, but it takes time. I checked to see if I had the list with our guests. It was here. In that case, we can go in.

- Hello. - I said

- Hi. How can I help you?

- We need invitations.

- No problem. For what they should be?

- A wedding. We made a sample at home.

- Great. Can I see it?

- Melanie.

- It's here. We want the invitations to open this way. Is this possible?

- Of course.

- Awesome. The other thing we want is for this part to be in the shape of angel wings.

- We can do this. Do you have the text which will be printed on the inside?

- I have it. Also, this is the list with the names of our guests. Can you put a name on each invitation? - I asked

- Sure.

- What do you think is better for the letters? White or green? - Melanie asked

- If the invitation will be black, I suggest white.

- Thanks.

- Do you want anything on the back of the invitations?

- Like what? - I asked

- We can print a picture, for example.

- Do we want something?

- What can you suggest to us?

- You can put something that fits the theme of your wedding.

- I think it will be too much. Let's not make everything about the angels. Also, it will distract them from the wings in front. - Melanie said

- Leave it like that, please.

- No problem.

- How long will it take for the invitations to be ready?

- Between two and three weeks.

- Great. Can we pay when we come to take them?

- Of course. I will need a phone number. I can call you when they are here.

- I will give you mine.

- Write it here.

- Here you go.

- That is from me.

- Thanks.

The invitations are done. We went to a few more stores and later for lunch. I think the invitations will be perfect. I like the design we choose. Well, I should give Melanie credit for that. She always has great ideas. I thought after lunch, we'll go home. I guess she has other things in mind. She didn't tell me where we were going. I will follow her. I saw the excitement in her eyes. I'm starting to think that this won't be a good idea. There is no turning back. Soon, we arrived in front of a wedding store. Please don't tell me she will choose the dress today.

- Hello. - a woman said

- Hi.

- Melanie, why are we here?

- Because I want to have fun with you today.

- I am not supposed to see the dress.

- You won't see it.

- Really?

- Yes. I won't buy anything now. I only want to try a few.

- Good.

- Can I help you? - the woman asked

- Yes, you can. I need the perfect black wedding dress.

- I assume it's for you.

- It is. Style me.

- What are you looking for? A puffy dress or something simpler?

- What can you offer me?

- Come with me.

- Oh, I like this one.

- You can try it out.

- Thanks. Can I get this one, too?

- Sure.

- I'm taking that as well. - Melanie said and left

- Please ignore her. Too much coffee. - I said, and the woman laughed

- It's ok. Are you the groom?

- Yes.

- Then why are you here?

- I have no idea. Melanie said she wouldn't buy anything.

- Let's see.

- I would love to help with the choice, but it's not my business.

- You better stay away. - the woman said, chuckling

- Here I am. What do you think? Is this my style? - Melanie asked

- This dress looks good on you.

- Jordan? Hello?

- What?

- What do you think about this dress?

- It's good. I like it.

- Are you ok?

- I'm not the person for this. You look good in everything. - I said, and she laughed

- That's why I took you with me. I only wanted to have fun. I will choose the official dress another day.

- Great.

- I will try the other ones.

Melanie did a whole fashion show in front of me. She looks perfect in everything. Like a little princess. I can't wait to see the final choice. I'm sure she will look amazing. When we finished in the store, we went home. I still think about the dress. It's not every day when I see her wearing one. This suits her a lot. I think she needs to wear one more often. It's good that I took pictures. This might be my new lock and home screen. Let me do this real quick.

- To understand that you liked the fashion show. - Melanie said and kissed my cheek

- I loved it. You look great in all these.

- The first one was a bit too big for me. I don't want to mop the floor with it. - she said, chuckling

- I liked it.

- You liked everything. You will still say I look great even if I'm in only underwear.

- Because it's true. You can't look bad.

- Yeah, sure. Let's tell the truth now.

- I am. I like the way you dress. Also, a black dress looks better on you.

- I'm glad that you think this way.

- Your skin is too pale. With white, you will look like a ghost. - I said and laughed

- I know. You don't need to remind me.

- There is nothing wrong with your skin color.

- Yes, but I can't wear too light clothes.

- No one said that.

- I don't want to look like a ghost.

- Black and green?

- You know me so well.

- After all, we are dating and planning a wedding. I must know what you like.

- Why don't we make dinner together?

- Sure. I would love that.

- First, I want to lay down. Will you come?

- What about the dinner?

- It can wait. I need a rest.

- We did a good job today.

- I agree. What should we do about Halloween? The decoration is not enough. We need something more.

- One week before the holiday, we can give people coupons.

- And?

- And what?

- Is this enough?

- No free angel wing shots. We talked about this.

- But why?

- Melanie, this is my most selling drink. I won't give it for free. If you do this, I'll take money from you.

- Fine. There won't be free shots.

- Good.

Melanie and I laid only for an hour. After that, we went to make dinner. I like cooking with her. Someone might say that we spend too much time together. That is not true. We see each other only after work. Sometimes, we go out with friends or go to visit our parents. We have many things to do instead of staying at home. This doesn't mean we'll stay outside all the time. There are days when I want to be at home with her. I like it when it's only us. We are a great team. I mean, look how many things we did together. I hope we'll always support each other how we do it now.
