CHAPTER THIRTEEN.
13.
***********
I couldn't wait to tell my family and Zoe of course, and I knew how happy and excited she will be. It has been a day passed already after John has proposed to me, I was overwhelmed by the way he did it, How perfect.
After the proposal night, following morning he took us to a spa where I got my body pampered to the fullest. then lunch before we came back home. I haven't told my friend or family, John suggested that we surprise them. Except for Nancy who noticed my sparkling finger yesterday morning, when I came in at work.
***
I got off the Uber taxi and headed to my apartment after a long day at work, I was tired and I just needed a long nap before making myself something for dinner.
As worn-out and tired, I climbed up the stairs headed to my room and I threw myself on the bed. Without taking off my work suit and medium-high heels, before I knew it I was already dreaming about wedding dresses, wedding cakes and all the other stuff that didn't really make sense.
When I woke up I realized that I have been sleeping for two hours and thirty minutes, after I checked the time on my wristwatch. I sat up straight on the bed, thinking about what to have for dinner. It was too late to cook so I snatched my phone and ordered pizza.
I went for a quick shower while still waiting for my pizza to be delivered. Right on time after a warm short shower, the pizza was delivered and I was already enjoying it, sitting on the couch at my living room watching some TV show that I was not really paying attention too.
After going through different channels on the TV and found nothing interesting, I grabbed my phone and started googling wedding dresses and everything that concerns weddings.
I noticed one with the most long-tail ever and I fall in love with it. But then I realized I still got enough time to check wedding gowns so I wouldn't be making up my mind as yet.
(I can't wait) I smiled at the thought.
And we haven't decided on the day yet until we let our families and friends. Knowing that I was soon to be someone's wife, felt unreal and I didn't know whether to be excited or worried, but then deep down in my heart I was excited, honestly. Though it wasn't a new impression to me it was still artificial.
After Andrew, I had told myself not to fall for such. But John showed up and changed all of that.
(Speak of the Devil)
My phone rang I glanced at the screen, I saw an incoming video call from John, I was surprised because it was the first time for John to be video calling me, but also amused because I was going to see his cute face since the last time I saw him was Sunday when he brought me home, after the wonderful weekend we spent together.
I swiped my finger on the screen to answer, immediately after I answered I saw his charming face and heard his sweet husky voice, "babe" he said with a killer smile on his face, then continued "I was still in the office for a last-minute meeting, that's why I couldn't call, I hope I didn't wake you"
(Always charming)
He was still on his white formal shirt and sitting on the couch at his house, "well, as you can see you didn't wake me up, I was just about to go to bed though" I said with a small smile.
He asked how was my day, what I had for dinner, he told me how much he missed me and obviously, the feeling was mutual. Before we hanged out he told me that he wanted us to go and see his parents this weekend, actually he said he wanted me to meet his parents, meaning we were going to cape town together, the upcoming weekend.
I was excited but nervous at the same time, what if his parents didn't like me, What if I wasn't what they had in mind. Maybe they wanted him to get married to businesswomen since everyone in his family was a successful businessman and woman.
Well, except for his younger brother who was still in jail, but he was also doing business Academy before he got arrested.
(Will they like me, what if they'll think I'm after his money)
I loved John for who he was not what he had or capable of. I had my own job, though I was not liking my salary. for my experience and qualifications, I felt like I was taken lightly in the company I was currently working for.
But being after John's money, that was going to be a serious accusation if anyone could ever think such.
****
I called my friend Zoe to meet me at our 'girl-talk' spot to have coffee, she was usually the early bird but that day I waited almost 20 minutes before she showed up, I wondered why until she told me about her younger brother who borrowed her car AS ALWAYS. SO she had to request an Uber in the morning to go to work, she said. Meaning, she also had to request for coming here to meet up with me.
"I think you should just give the car to him once, don't you think?" I scoffed then took a sip from my coffee as I keep myself serious, crossing my legs. I knew she was never going to do that, she was crazy in love with her car but still borrowed it to only her younger brother who appeared to be persistent, and spoilt.
"Hell no!" she murmured as she wiggled her index finger on the air, I started laughing at her expression, I almost choked from the coffee. "by the way, why are we here, it must be a serious topic, for you to bring me here, now speak up" she said as she put her coffee on the table and bring up an eyebrow, as she positioned an elbow on the table edge as she put her hand on her chin, concentrating.
I shook my head as I smiled at my dramatic friend.
"Well since you are so ignorant, let me speak up" I took my coffee cup and held it with both my hands, trying to expose the diamond on my left hand but still, she didn't notice.
So I had to just tell her. "John- and- I- are- ENGAGED" I said with a big smile on my face as I placed the mug back on the table and showed out my ring finger.
She widened her eyes, then stood up swiftly from her seat coming to my side to give me a hug, it was so awkward when she started screaming and all eyes were on us "OH MY, OH EMY I'm HAPPY FOR YOU, HEY! EVERYONE, MY FRIEND HERE IS GETTING married!" She dragged the word married.
"Sweetie, I'm so so so! happy for you, wait wait, HAVE YOU told mom and dad I'm sure they are happy for their little angel" she murmured as she patted my check like I was a little cute girl.
She was all over me messing up my hair with the non-stop hugs, checking my ring multiple times, admiring it. I was happy too though, and I knew she was going to act like that, she was just cute, she was like a sister to me seriously.
"no I haven't told them yet, but when I come back from cape town, John and I will both go there and tell them" I answered, she came back again with another choker hug "NO! we need to celebrate, tonight it's on WOooH" she again screamed as she quickly took out her wallet from her handbag and placed the bill on the table.
"but-" I tried to speak.
"No! But! it's my treat, you are getting married I need to pamper you, but first, go home freshen up, I'll pick you up at 8" she murmured and held my hand dragging me towards the coffee shop door.
"Wait!, where are you taking me too," I asked in a loud whisper since she was holding my wrist dragging me outside the shop "oh no! I forgot I didn't bring my car, doesn't matter though, requests a ride to take you home I'll do the same" she said as she practically slam her forehead with her wallet.
I chuckled, we returned to our chairs as we both laugh out loud, making people uncomfortable but we didn't care, really.
And there we were, on our phones like typical teenagers.
"I'm so excited" she murmured with her eyes still on her phone, I shook my head and smiled then glanced back to my phone.
My ride came first within 5 minutes, then I left, leaving her inside the shop still waiting for hers.
