His Deepest Desire

CHAPTER FOUR

　　After getting home, I went straight up to my room, ignoring anyone's attempt to talk to me, taking off my damn dress (I was angry, so I couldn’t careless about a dress ) and got into an oversize t-shirt and shorts, which I love more.

　　I finally plopped into my bed, remembering everything that had just happened a few hours ago and the fact that I would be getting married three weeks from now.

　　Ugh!

　　Great!

　　just great.

　　There won't be any engagement party according to Adeline due to the fact that my so-called husband is too busy to even have the time, so I was given an engagement ring, which was also a family heirloom passed down from generations. It is huge and very breath-taking and definitely causes millions.

　　My phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts, not bothering to check who was calling.

　　"What?" I said, and immediately pitied the person at the receiving end.

　　"Whoa whoa, what got your pants in a twist?" my best friend replied, lifting my spirits.

　　“ I'm sorry Vicki, I'm just not in a good mood right now.”

　　" How lame was the dinner. What happened?" she said, turning serious.

　　"Turns out I'm getting married three weeks from now."

　　" Wow, that fast."

　　“ Yeah, it's been decided and I totally wasn't expecting it to be this early." sighing, "as much as I don't want this wedding, I need to think about my family and Adeline seems like a nice person."

　　" Who is Adeline?"

　　"Adeline Reeves, my husband's mom, since he was too busy to show up."

　　" Oh my gosh, are you getting married to Giovanni Reeves?" She asked excitedly.

　　"Yeah", I answered her in a bored tone.

　　Wait a minute... How did she know his name?

　　" How did you know his name?" I asked sceptically. I didn’t remember telling her.

　　"Are you kidding me, who hasn't heard of the Reeves, the almighty Giovanni Reeves?" she exclaimed dramatically.

　　" I won't ask if I knew, would I?" I answered, rolling my eyes at the process.

　　" Where exactly have you been living, Roy? You have been to those fancy dinners your parents go to," she said, talking to me like I was an alien.

　　It is not my fault. I hardly pay attention to anyone at those dinner parties; it's way too boring for my liking and filled with rich, arrogant, snobbish princes and princesses.

　　" Your point exactly is what, Vicki?" I asked with a little bit of sassiness.

　　" The Reeves are one of the richest families in New York, if not the world," she gushed. "And don't get me started with Giovanni Reeves."

　　Holy s**t!

　　It all made sense now, why Adeline looked so familiar. I was so stressed out that I didn't even recognize their name.

　　I can't believe my parents are marrying me off to the richest family in our society and I'm only finding out now.

　　Cue the freaked out scream.

　　" Boo, you're so lucky! He is the hottest bachelor on the planet and every girl's dream." I could imagine her drooling.

　　"And yet he didn't even bother showing up. What a douchebag". I said angrily.

　　" A very hot douchebag," she answered.

　　" Who doesn't show up for something as important as this” i rant

　　" I understand, boo, but God! Is he hot?. Where can I find me a hot Giovanni Reeves?" she said, exaggerating a bit, I think, since I haven't really seen him yet.

　　" You need to stop calling him that." I snapped a little bit.

　　" Absolutely not!. Hot doesn't even begin to describe how good he looks; he is more like a Greek god," she sighed dreamily.

　　I laughed at her craziness.

　　" That reminds me, I am going to send you a pic of my engagement ring right now," I said, turning to my camera as I took a pic of the ring and sent it to her.

　　"Eeeeeee," my best friend screamed, and I laughed at the precision, but also had to move my phone a few meters away from my ear in order not to go deaf.

　　" Is that the Reeves family heirloom, girl?. That ring cost like a ton of money, like tons of millions," she said enthusiastically, wishing I had a little bit of her enthusiasm.

　　" I know, but I can't help but feel like they are all hiding something from me."

　　"What do you mean?"

　　" I don't know, it's just a feeling. I’m sure it's nothing. "

　　“That aside, I know how stressed out you are about this wedding and I'm definitely sure it's taking a toll on you. I just want you to know that I've got you boo. Given how stressful today was, why don't you get some rest? I promise you'll feel slightly better in the morning."

　　" Thank you so much, babe. What would I do without you?" I playfully ask her.

　　" Nothing, not a single thing, babe, now get some rest. I love you".

　　“aww, Victoria.” I answered in a sing-song voice and laughed as I imagined the scowl that I knew was already on her face. I knew how much she hated being called her full name.

　　"I take that back, I completely despise you," she snapped back, and I burst out laughing.

　　I'm so glad I have a best friend like her. She's the only one who gets me.

　　" I love you too," I said, and I knew she understood the meaning behind those four words.

　　" Whatever , get off my phone, Camilla." I cringe at the mention of my middle name.

　　" Touché Vicki, touché."

　　Her laughter was the last thing I heard before I finally hung up.

　　I dropped my phone on the dresser beside my bed, and I was pulled into the wonderland of dreams.
