The Life I Never Knew I Had Chapter 20

                                    

                                          
“Princess,” someone said shaking my shoulder.
                          
“Not now…” I muttered rolling over so my back was facing then.
                          
I heard them sigh and walk around the bed.
                          
I mentally rolled my eyes and wished them away.
                          
I felt warm lips on mine and I smiled.
                          
Ryan.
                          
I kissed back and wrapped my arms around him.
                          
He pulled away abruptly. “Wake up”.
                          
“Five more minutes,” I pleaded.
                          
“You need to have your dress refitted and pick out your bridesmaid dresses,”
                          
“Ugh!” I said covering my head with my pillow.
                          
“You really don’t want to get married,”
                          
“If it was only that simple,” I said looking at him.
                          
He gave me a sad smile. “Come on. For me?”
                          
“For you,” I said getting up.
                          
I walked into my bathroom and turned on the water.
                          
I took a quick shower and dried off.
                          
I pulled on my robe and walked over to my closet.
                          
After moments of looking at my clothes I deiced to wear the blue sun dress. 
                          
I slipped it on and put my hair in a bun then headed down stairs.
                          
Eugene had my breakfast out and ready for me.
                          
I thanked him and sat down and eat with myself.
                          
“Hey lady,” Shelby said smiling at me.
                          
“Why the big smile?” I asked.
                          
“Wedding planning,” she said sitting down. “I thought I’ll join you,”
                          
“Thanks,” I smiled. “Have you seen Elliott?” I asked.
                          
“Not since last night,”
                          
“Same here,” I said as Ryan walked down stairs running his hand through his hair.
                          
“Have you seen your brother?” Shelby asked.
                          
“He’s talking to dad,”
                          
“Oh,” I said finishing up my breakfast.
                          
Ryan, Shelby, and I walked to the wedding hall then went our separate ways.
                          
Elliott was there and he seemed to be fuming.
                          
“Hey,” I said smiling.
                          
“Oh, hi,” he said.
                          
“What’s up?” I asked wrapping my arms around him. 
                          
“My father will never understand. I want to tell you something…”
                          
“Tell me,” I said looking him in the eyes.
                          
“I can’t and for that I’m so sorry,”
                          
I kissed him. “Whatever it is, things will work out. I promise,” Elliott hugged me and rested his head on my shoulder. “I love you Elliott, always have,” I lied.
                          
“I love you too,” he said. I could hear the smile on his voice.
                          
“Okay, Jen, let’s get you in your dress with hair and makeup. Elliott in your tucks and I think you need a hair cut, no,” Sebastian said breaking up our little moment.
