Forbidden In Love

In a few more weeks my wedding day will be here. Kye and I have been together for five years. Tomorrow we will be finalizing the plans for the wedding date. He finally proposed almost seven months ago, and I know he's going to be an amazing husband. He can be short-tempered with me at times. But I guess I sometimes deserve his outbursts. Lately, Kye has been acting strangely because he has a surprise for me, I hope. I have been asking him to find a bigger house for both of us. Daddy doesn't approve of him due to his status, but he knows I love him and supports me. Finally, I finished getting ready for work. I had on a light blue knee-high spring dress with white flats and simple makeup. Bright colors always make my day and I feel confident in them. Entering the workplace, my assistant, Rune, meets me at the entrance. Per usual, since he goes on his daily mission to convince me to work with magazines nearby and not only runway shows. He always fails miserably. "You always give credit to the company, even though you're an individual designer - use your talent. At least give yourself some credit for your designs. Honestly, the company is not going to care. ..." what is Rune ranting about now. 1 just chuckle to myself. " Drew, are you listening, Miss Lady?" "Oh yes I was??". I wasn't convincing anyone. Rune's face screamed disbelief. "Okay I wasn't, but can you blame me ", plastering my biggest cheeky smile. "Drew, Drew, you're extremely lucky. I love you so much" "Who can resist me, Rune". We laughed a bit too loudly, some people around us gave concerning looks. In my office I was trying to design some outfits for the next companies' runway show. While Rune spinned around in a chair typing away on his phone. We heard a faint knock on the door. "Hi honey, I brought some food from the cafeteria. Rune, why didn't you force her out of the office to eat ". Mom's always a saver. But when these two are together, I don't trust them at all. "Texting help I'm dying of hunger is gonna concern any mother and that Drew is starving you". "That's why I texted you. She's been ignoring and laughing at me, when all I am doing is looking out for her ". Rune gave it all to not get blamed. No need for him to do that, but when my mother is around he becomes more exaggerated. "She didn't let me leave the office to get food". "Poor Rune, just because he works for you doesn't mean you can mistreat him. He's your best friend Drew". Of course, they take each other's side. Since they met, you can tell they have the same taste in food, music, fashion, and similar personalities. Mom and Rune have a relationship I will forever envy. But if it weren't for them, I think I would not have gotten my designs to even be seen by the public eye. Always there when I need her. He's there when I need him. "He's just dramatic and such a snitch". I rolled my eyes at them. "See how mean she's acting ". Rune pouted his lips towards us and I couldn't help but laugh. As he puts a huge spoon full of food in his mouth while fake crying. "Okay, since we are done, I am taking poor Rune from you. His delicate face is turning all red". Mom cleans up and grabs Rune in a side hug and both walk out the office. They are so unbelievable. Finding any excuse to take him, so he doesn't have to work. It feels like he's her best friend. I'm going to snitch on them to Uncle Salvie. Received a text from Rune, "Maya asked to meet two hours earlier. That Kye has already confirmed. I had already rescheduled everything from two o'clock and for the day after tomorrow since I know you'll be putting your time into the finishing touches of your wedding. Just saying as your bestie, I have a weird feeling about this. Lady Mom thinks so too. By the way, we are talking about you and your not-so-social life since you met Kye, any who Love ya." Me: "Thank you, don't worry you guys exaggerate everything. Love ya too". What would I do without them. All they do is criticize and complain about my life. They call it looking out for me. I call it annoying, the fck outta me. The time to meet with Maya and Kye for the wedding arrangements came around. From all places, why do they decide to meet in the conference room? We usually meet in the café from across the street. I'm the first one here and Kye hasn't confirmed with me if he is coming. I got told by the floor receptionist that Maya should be in shortly. She was just getting a few things set to start the meeting. "Sorry I'm late Drew, I was talking to Kye outside the conference room". That was definitely odd. Her formality isn't there, but we can work on that. "He just went to the bathroom. He's so hot, you are such a great woman, to have a man like that to marry you and Fuc-" I put my hand up in warning. "We are not friends, Miss Maya, and please be more professional. This is your job, so be more formal with others, not your personal life. Also, don't talk that way to me or any of your clients from now on. I'll let this be a notice. " Her eyes widened, and she looked at the floor. She was a close acquaintance's sister that my younger sister gave a job to help her to get her started. No one would hire her, and she's definitely got a talent for wedding planning. We gave her a chance to work in the event planning community that my sister runs and sometimes Rune decides to work with her when I don't need him. I'm gonna throw hands with that guy. His days have been counted since I met him in preschool and are getting closer to the countdown. "Honey, be easy on her. You know she's new and doesn't know any better. Love of mine, I'm very sorry to be late." I stood quiet to not cause a scene, but correcting me in front of someone that was still learning. Ignoring his dumbfounded comment. "There's always room for structural criticism. But you're here now and that's all that matters". Gave a weak smile to Maya. Noticing, Kye took a long time to get back from the bathroom after her. They share a smile and Kye gets close to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. He's against physical affection in public and never does it. Not even a New Year's kiss. I'm just getting over myself and thinking too much. He was acting weird though. " Lovely Maya agreed to meet two hours earlier, how sweet of her". You could tell she was uncomfortable. I sure as hell was. It was his doing to meet much sooner. " I spoke to Maya, our wonderful wedding planner, that we are postponing the wedding". "You're joking, right? Cause the amount of time and money spent on this. Mind you the invitation sent out last week. You didn't even talk to me or check in with me about this decision. Can you please excuse yourself, Maya, as I speak to my fiancé." My fists were getting tighter, where my nails started to dig into my skin. "No need, lovely maya, you may stay. I rhymed nice! My love there was an opportunity at work to go on a business trip and I could get promoted. Then we can together buy ourselves that house we're always talking about. What do you say?" I wanted to stay mad and yell at him. This right here made me hopeful. I smiled at him. "I have got to go. My break time is almost over. Bye ladies". I turned to Maya and made it clear that if any more changes Kye had to inform me. She nodded her head in agreement. "Also, why didn't you inform me before". She kept looking around the room as if she was looking for a way to escape or waiting for the ceiling to collapse onto her. " Miss Maya, can you answer my question?". She kept playing with the hem of her shirt, "well I was told by Kye to keep it between us. And he wanted to tell you himself. He told me about this a couple of days ago". It looked like she wanted to tell me something else but didn't find the words for it. I nodded my head to give her some sort of sign that it was okay for her to continue. "He also told me to postpone everything. From the wedding date to the decorations". "Thank you, Maya, excuse me". I had to get fresh air. I knocked on my sister's office door and heard a faint come in. I couldn't believe my eyes. Mom, Rune, and Lily were all gathered here. If my other two sisters were here they would have been there as well, but they work internationally. One in Canada and the other in Italy at the other headquarters. " Do you guys ever work? Unbelievable. Great since you are all here. I'm taking the day off and tomorrow as well". They were definitely shocked. I rarely take days off, especially without warning. I could hear them chattering behind me once I closed the door. I had to go. Think of a solution and problem to solve my life. How embarrassing to send an email apologizing to all the guests invited that the wedding has been postponed. But at this point, I don't even know what to do. After getting home and taking a shower, I knew I needed to talk to Kye. He just kept making one stupid mistake after the other. I called Kye repeatedly and nothing. His location is off too, and he rarely does that either. I called his cubicle phone, "Anya, speaking secretary of Mr. Louie Valley at Too Hot magazine." Her voice sounded happy until she heard it was me asking for Kye. "He's currently in a meeting." I drifted off, Kye should have been home by now. I was brought back by Anya screaming hello so obnoxiously. "Sorry, hey can you tell Kye to call me when he gets home? I've been trying to reach him". If it weren't for her being related to Mr. Louie, I would have put her in her place, but for justice of peace, I must stay passive towards her obnoxiousness. "Not his secretary, but sure". Hangs up the phone so professional of her. Honestly, this woman needs some etiquette classes on how to be professional. If only I didn't have so much respect for Mr.Louie, I would have made it clear to her to speak professionally on the floor.
