CHAPTR THIRTY THREE
“ I think this one looks great ” Zoey said
“ No it makes me look like lady Gaga”
“ uhh what’s wrong with looking like lady Gaga ?” she asked
“ Dude I’m going for a wedding not the MET GALA “ I said which made her laugh
“ You find this amusing don’t you ?” I asked
“ Sorry but I’m not the one that told you not to shop for a dress you would wear to a party happening tomorrow “ she said
“ Arrrgh Zoey you know I’ve been really busy , do you think it’s easy to sketch a celebrity wedding gown and plan a celebrity wedding in a month ?” I asked
“ Sorry don’t get all angry on me now “
“ sorry , it’s just that I don’t know , my nerves are getting the best out of me “
“ Calm your titties down girl , you’ll be fine , you’re already smoking hot without a dress “ she said which made me smile
“ So how about this ?” I asked showing her another gown
“ I don’t know , it looks like something my aunt would wear on her wedding day “ she said
“ The one who owns a farm ?” I asked
“ yup “ she said and I quickly tossed the dress aside
Arrrgh ! God I need just one freaking dress for this ball .
“ how about this ?” she asked
“ I don’t know it looks kinda weird though “ I said
“ Speaking of weird do you know why Mr Harlow has been sending me consolation messages ?” she asked which made me laugh
Mr Harlow actually paired Zoey and Luca together for the party but Luca said he wouldn’t go if Zoey was his date and Zoey said she wasn’t interested in going either , so he has been finding ways to match make them together .
Well as for Me I’m still avoiding him , I mean we see at work everyday but asides from that , I don’t reply his messages or talk to him in person .
Then I suddenly heard the doorbell ring
“ I think there’s someone at the door “ I said
“ Imma go get it , must be the pizza delivery” she said walking out
I looked through my wardrobe again but I still couldn’t find any good dress .
I suddenly heard an ear splitting scream which made me run outside
“ Oh my gosh Zo are you okay ?”
“ you gotta see this “ she said handing me three huge bags with BLACK written on it .
Is this what I think it is ?
I opened the first bag and Saw a long gown , it was a backless gown with sprinkles of snow and crystal on it .
“ oh my God , this is my design “ I said not believing my eyes
“ wow ,i-it’s beautiful “ Zoey said
“ Thanks but I didn’t submit this sketch , it was just a back up sketch I made for Bella’s dress , how did they find it ?”
“ They must have found it on your desk, Nick must really like you “
“ oh please he probably just wants me to look good since we’ll be attending a function together “ I said
“ You know I can’t help but think that you both are just so the same in every aspect “ she said and I just scoffed
“ No we are not”
“ Yeah right , oh look there’s another dress “ she said bringing out another red backless gown
“Ohhh spicy red , I love it … it must be for the after party “ I replied
“ Arrgh I’m so happy for you Laura , your dreams are finally gonna come true “
“ my dreams ?” I asked
“ Yes , think about it there will be thousands of fashion designers and celebrities there girl , your beauty will make their heads turn and who knows you could get hooked up with some hot celebrity who wants you “ she said
“Ok first , I’m only going there as a secretary and besides , I know I’m hot but girl I can’t stand beside those celebrities “ I said which made her laugh
“ How about we place a bet on it , at least five different guys will try to hook up with you and three fashion designers will try to make you their model “ she said
“ wow Zoey Miller , you love to dream big , don’t you ?”
“ What can I say , I’m the new Ben Carson “ she said which made me laugh
“ I better go get ready , I can’t go let there late , can you help me call a private driver ?” I asked
“ what am I ? Your secretary ?”
“ Thank you “ I said running upstairs to gather my bags
After packing my necessities I double checked if I had left anything , I quickly wet for a quick shower and changed into some comfortable sweatpants and shirt .
“ Lauraaaa “ I heard Zoey yell my name from downstairs
“ What is it ? Is the driver here ?”
“ No but someone is here for you “ she said
“ oh be down in a sec “ I said as I quickly packed my braids in a bun style
“ Who is it ?” I asked coming down the stairs
“ Mr Chest “ she replied
Mr Chest ? Why is Mr Chest here ?
“ Good after Mr Chest “ I greeted
“ Afternoon Miss Paley “
“ How can I help you ?” I asked
“ Mr Harlow told me to escort you to the airport “
“ the airport ? I already ordered a private driver so it’s cool “
“ Mr Harlow wants everyone to be on board , the jet will be moving very soon so we have to go now “
The jet ? Mr Harlow has a freaking private jet ?
“ uhhh ok can I get my things first ?”
“ Please go ahead “ he said
Mr Chest is too polite for his own good , I wonder if he cusses .
“ This is it boo , this is the beginning of your long lost dreams “ Zoey said
“ Zoey , you’re just tripping honestly nobody is gonna notice me at that party “
“ Well don’t forget our bet “
“ whatever “ I said rolling my eyes
“ I can’t believe you’ll I leaving for two days , damn I’ll miss you girl “ She said
“ I’ll miss you more “ I said hugging her tightly
“ No go out there and make mama proud “
.
.
After a long drive that seemed like forever we finally got to where the private jet was parked , I was ushered in by a very pretty foreign lady with a cute accent .
“ Thank you “ I said taking my seat beside Luca
“ Finally , someone I know is on this bus “ Luca said giving me a hug
“ Where’s your boss ?” I asked
“ Incase you didn’t know, there’s this thing called HEY , HOW ARE YOU DOING?” He said which made me smile
“ sorry , how are you doing?”
“ I’m fine thank you and you ?” he asked
“ I’m doing great “ I said and he smiled
“ Nick is already at the location , he went for a quick meeting “ he said
“ oh , what about you? Should you be his lil sidekick ?” I asked
“ Laura are you trying to piss me off this beautiful evening ?” he asked and we both smiled
I noticed a small channel bag on his laps
“ Whose bag is that Or are you into female clothing now ?” I asked
“ Nice one Laura , I’m very much into pants and suits and besides the bag belongs to Ariana “
Great Ariana is going to the wedding as well ? Of course she is .
“ so where is she ?”
“ She ran after Nick’s driver to catch up with him “ he said
“ oh…”
“ So w-what about your o-own friend ?’ he asked nervously
“ ohhh poor Luca , don’t tell me you’re missing Zoey already “
“ miss her ? Why would I miss her ?” he asked
“ what exactly did she do to you ?, trust me Zoey is the nicest person ever “ I said
“ Wait she didn’t tell you ? I thought you both were best friends “
“ Well she did mention the part where she broke your heart but she didn’t go into details”
“ well let’s just say the only person I had ever been emotionallly invested in all my life suddenly cheated on me with my best friend “ he said
“ oh that’s crazy “
“ Zoey was my first love , I lost my frickin virginity to her “ he said which made me laugh
“ are you making fun of me ?” he asked
“ Sorry it’s kind of hilarious because she lost hers to you too “ I said
“ Zoey didn’t look like the type to cheat , she loved me with everything she had and I even loved her more , I wake up everyday and I wonder where I had gone wrong but I just couldn’t connect the dots “ he said
“ Luca I have a question for you , did you end up getting engaged to that rich heiress ?” I asked and he looked startled
“ What ? How did you know about that?” he asked
“ Luca just answer the question “
“ Did Zoey tell you , how did she know ? I never told her about Maria “ he said
“ Luca just –“
“ answer me Laura , did she tell you ?” he asked again
“ I can’t tell you , it’s not my story to tell but I just want you to know that Zoey has made a lot of sacrifices for you and she might deny it everytime but she’s still very much in love with you “
“ What are you saying ? She cheated on me with my best friend , I saw them together in bed , what sacrifice did she make ?” He yelled
“ I know you’re hurt and trust me I can relate but whatever she did , she had a reason for it “
“ and is that reason too big that you can’t tell me ? “ he asked
“ I’m sorry Luca , I can’t …it’s for your own good “
“ Well I don’t care whatever reason or sacrifice she made but one thing is sure …. I’ll never forgive her for cheating on me “
