Chapter 43: The Countdown Begins
With the venue booked, the menu finalized, and the cake selected, the realization hit-Jey and Natalia's wedding was just weeks away. Time seemed to move faster now, each day filled with final preparations, last-minute decisions, and the growing excitement of what was to come.
Natalia sat at the kitchen table, flipping through her wedding planner, double-checking details. "Alright," she said, looking up at Naomi and Galina, who were sitting across from her, helping with the final touches. "We have the guest list locked in, right?"
Naomi nodded. "Yep. Invitations went out weeks ago, and almost everyone has RSVP'd."
"Good," Natalia said, marking it off. "What about the final dress fitting?"
"Tomorrow," Galina reminded her with a smile. "And trust me, Nati, you're going to look stunning."
Natalia smiled, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. "I can't believe it's almost here."
"You better believe it," Naomi teased. "This is it, girl. The final stretch."
Just then, Jey walked in, catching the tail end of the conversation. "Y'all talking about the wedding again?" he asked, smirking as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Of course," Naomi shot back. "You're getting married in a few weeks. This is crunch time."
Jey chuckled, walking over to Natalia and wrapping his arms around her from behind. "You stressin'?" he murmured against her ear.
She leaned into him, shaking her head. "Not stressin'. Just making sure everything is perfect."
Jey kissed her temple. "It already is."
Naomi rolled her eyes playfully. "Alright, lovebirds, focus. We still got things to handle."
Jey smirked. "Y'all got it under control. Me? I just gotta show up lookin' good."
Natalia nudged him playfully. "You better."
As they all laughed, the excitement in the air was undeniable. The countdown had begun, and soon, Jey and Natalia would officially be husband and wife.
