Demitra's POV
“Let me brief this, your dad left you the company but only if you get married to Luke Combs?”
“Unfortunately”
“As in, puking Luke from second grade?!”
I take a deep breath
“Yes”
“And you agreed?!”
“I had no choice Elle”
“Girl, you have choices. You just chose the dramatic one”
“You know I made the right decision”
“I hate to admit it but yeah. But to be honest, your dad is doing too much while being DEAD”
“I really don't want to do this” I sigh
“I heard he's hot now” she snickers
“That’s not important Elle”
“Ouu, so it is true!”
I glare at her
“Okay sorry sorry”
I rest my head on her shoulder
“How long do you have?” she asks
“We get married in two weeks”
“What?! I traveled for a week and now my best friend is getting married in two weeks!”
“Don't remind me”
“On the bright side, this can actually be a good thing”
“How?”
“I just said that to make you feel better, but it can't get worse than this”
“Ugh”
“Look babe, it might not be that bad. Have you seen the headlines? Luke's hot now!”
“Ew, I don't care” I roll my eyes
“You must really hate him”
“Yes!” I reply almost immediately
“You didn't have to answer so fast”
“Well…. that's how much I hate him” I add without looking her in the eye
“Demitra Penelope Walker, is there anything you aren't telling me?”
“Firslty, NEVER mention my middle name again”
Elle laughs
“Secondly, I hate Luke Combs and that's it”
“Fine, fine”
“Yeah” I say with a softened expression
“So… is she coming?”
“Who?” I ask
“You know who”
“Elizabeth Monroe has a mind of her own, so I don't know”
“She's still your mother you know”
“She just gave birth to me that's it”
“Rich people and their family problems” Elle says jokingly
“Your dad owns a company that supplies electricity to more than half of London, you are RICH”
“Whatever. Invite your mum to the wedding”
“I'll think about it”
Elle’s eyes spark with joy.
“Perfect! Ice cream?”
“What flavor?” I ask immediately
“Chocolate duh”
“Obviously”
Elle hurriedly goes to get the ice cream.
“You know what? I never told you about my trip!”
“Oh my days, what did you do?”
“You're so mean, why do you automatically think I did something!”
We've known each other since kindergarten. I know you”
“Fine , fine. I met someone”
“Met or hooked up with?”
“Well I have to meet them first to hook up with them, Einstein”
“Girl…
”
“Okay, we hooked up”
I stare at her
“You disappeared for a week and came back with a man?”
“Not just a man. A very attractive man”
“Do you even know his name?”
“Obviously”
“His full name?”
She pauses
“Okay… I didn't get into details”
I burst out laughing
“You're actually insane”
“It was just one night, no big deal”
“Sureee” I laugh harder
“I think I have his email somewhere”
“So you have his email , but not his number?”
“Yeah he lost his phone or something”
“Elle”
“Oh my God,I got played”
“How could you believe the “I lost my phone” trick” I burst out laughing
“I know! that's literally my trick”
“The player got played” I laugh harder
She rolls her eyes.
“Anyways, enough about me. My best friend's wedding is in two weeks!”
“Don't remind me” I groan
"What are your plans?”
“Court and church wedding, that's it!”
“You've got to be kidding me. No reception?”
“I don't need something grand”
“Yes, you do”
I give her a side eye
“Alright , just close relatives and friends for the reception”
“Perfect!”
Elle grabs her phone
“What are you doing?”
“Planning your wedding”
I stare at her
“The wedding is in two weeks”
“I know, we are so late”
