Missing You by Summer Blue (my reading book TXT) 📖

Chapter 2

This dress was a big deal. Not only will my parents be there who will be watching poor Callum like a hawk but my sister's in laws will be there.

They are really different. I mean, Ted, my sister's fiance is cool but his parents are worser than mine.

They are really rich and will be watching my sister Lily like a hawk too. So everything has to be perfect. I put my black dress on with a cardigan.

I hate wearing dresses, specially dresses that are really short like this one. But I had to. Callum wore a suit which I bought him a few months ago. He looked great. His brown hair was pushed back which was both cool and suitable for this evening.

My brown hair was all pushed back. 'Don't you think you're trying too much to impress them?' Callum said. We were in the bathroom. He was combing his hair and I was well, wearing makeup.

'I'm not trying too much.' I said. He smiled. 'You're wearing makeup when you NEVER wear it and your wearing a dress that is really tight.' I looked at my dress. 'Its not that tight.' I mumbled

. 'Yeah, right.' I went to him and sorted his tie out. He put his hands around me.

'Lily's in laws are coming so be on your best behaviour.' I said.

'Oh come on, just because they are rich doesn't mean they need special treatment.' He said.

I sighed. 'I know but Ted's family is well, very strict and you've seen how much Lily loves Ted.'

'True.'He said. 'And anyways..' I looked at myself in the mirror. Everything was fine.'Ted has a brother so maybe there will be 2 weddings this week.' I teased.

He smiled. 'Oh really?' 'Yep. Lily said he has a crush on me.' I said, feeling proud. He put a strand of my behind my ear. 'I guess I have competition then.' 'Yep.' I looked at my watch. 'We should be going. We don't want to be late.' I said. He got the keys from my bag.

'I'll drive.' 'Are you crazy? You are not driving my car.' I said, rememebering the time he crashed into my grandmas garden. That was another reason in my mum's hate list for Callum. 'Chrissy. Would you let it go? That was years ago.' Callum said as we walked to the car. I had a blue car.

Let me tell you something about blue. Its my favourite color. If you bought me an ugly sweater, I wouldn't take it but if you bought me a BLUE sweater than I would take it. 'Chrissy, you there?' Callum said, waving his hand in front of my face.

'Hmm, what did you say?' I said. I took the keys from Callum and went inside the car. 'I said that you should forget about the car incident.' I smiled. 'How can I forget?' It was halarious.' I said, remembering my grandmas face when she openedd the door to see a car parked on top of her tulips. He put his hand through his hair. 'I would have thought it was halarious if it wasn't me. But it was.' He sighed.

I guess he felt bad when he did that. I hit him on the forehead. 'Ow.' He shouted. 'What was that for?' 'It makes all your bad memories transferred to my head.' I said. 'So you have nothing to worry about.' He laughed. 'You're crazy.' I smiled. It worked. Whenever we have a bad memory of something in the bad, we tap eachother's forehead so we don't feel hurt by it. Its weird, everytime we do it, it helps. I drove to my parents house. When we got there, there was a mercedes in front of my parent's house.

Oh no, Ted's family must have already came, I thought, looking at my watch. I took Callum's hand and we ran to the front door. Before I went in, I looked at myself in the mirror that I had in my bag. I ate some chocolate cake in the car and I made sure I didn't have bits stuck in my teeth.

Callum looked at me weirdly. 'Are you really trying to impress that Ted's brother? Because if you are-'

I smiled. 'Sometimes you take a joke really seriously.' I said, rolling my eyes. I straightend his tie and knocked on the door to my parent's house.

Chapter 3: Lily's P.O.V

(BTW, Lily is Chrissy's sister)

-------

I looked at myself in the mirror.

I had the dress that Ted bought me on. Ted. When i saw him a year ago, i never knew i would marry him. He seemed too unfunny whereas i can't stop having fun.  He seemed strict like my dad and 2 faced like my mum but then when i met him in the party, he looked like the guy of my dreams. And he is. I smiled, thinking of his dark hair and brown eyes.  I loved him and in a few days, he will be my husband.  

'Lily!' I looked to see my crazy sister, Crissy looking at me. She looked great with her black dress and her brown hair was all pushed back which made it easy to see her green eyes. We have the same eyes but hers were lighter. 

'Hey! You look great.' I said hugging her.   

'You too.' She said, looking at my dress. 'Why aren't you downstairs where your fiance is?'  

I smiled. 'Yah, i was going to go but i couldn't find that necklace you gave me, you know, the one with the word 'love' in it.' 

She nodded. 'Have you checked your drawer?' 

'Yep.'

  'Under the bed?'

  'Yep.'

  'Jewellery box?'

  'Yep.'  I looked away.

That was the most important necklace and i lost it. How could i?  She put her hand on my shoulder.

'You'll find it, don't worry. Lets go downstairs. They must be waiting and i need to help mum with the dinner.

  I sighed. 'You're right. Lets go.'  We both went downstairs. I could hear Ted and my mum laughing about something. I smiled. He really has a way of being friendly to my mum. My mum loves him to bits.   We went into the living room. At the corner of the room, ted, his family and mum were talking. Dad was on the phone as always about work.  

On the right, there was Callum, just sitting there alone. I thinks hes great but my whole family dont Agree. Hes got an awesome job and he is very handsome.

I cant lie that he flattered me at times.  

'I'm just going to help mum, okay?' Chrissy said. I nodded and she went. 

I went to Callum.  'Hey idiot.' I said  He smiled.

'Hey idiot.'  I sat next to him. 'I heard you got in trouble from you boss.' 

He laughed. 'And how did you know?' 

'Ermm... I know people who know people who know people who know-'  

'Chrissy told you didn't she?' 

'Yep.'   He smiled but there was  something distant that was causing him trouble. Maybe the fact that none of my family came to greet him. Why dont they understand that its been 3 years since he was with Crissy and she will marry him someday.

I really dont understand. Me and Callum talked about random stuff. Hes always been my best mate.

  'Can everyone come to the dinner table, the food is ready.' Mum announced. We all did as we asked. I sat with ted and Callum on the other side.

Next to him was Chrissy and next to her was my mum. Dad went out for work i guess.   I looked at the food on the table. Wow it looked delicious.

I wanted to eat it all up but i knew i had to diet for my wedding. There was lasagna, curry and a spaghetti. I was about to eat when i felt a hand hold mine. I looked to my left to see ted smiling at me. Normally when we meet, we would kiss but since our family is always around us, holding hands secretly is the best we could do. He came close to my ears.

'You're looking beautiful tonight.' He whispered.  I smiled and blushed at his compliment.  On my right, i could see Crissy putting food in for Callum. 'Have some more lasagna, its your favorite right?' Chrissy said.  Callum smiled and said,' thanks, did you make it for me?'   'No i made it for the neighbors cat, of course i made it for you.' She said.  They both started laughing. I smiled.

Callum and Chrissy are a match made in heaven. They love each other to bits. More than me to be honest.  Mum heard them laughing. Actually everyone did. They stopped laughing when they saw that the whole dinner table and Kevin the cat were looking at them.  Mum cleared her throat.

'So Callum, did you know that ted is a famous businessman worldwide?'   I can't believe this. Mum was bloating about Ted to Callum. I seriously cant believe this.

Chapter 4: Chrissy's P.O.V

I looked at lily and she was thinking the same thing as me.

She always did this. Mum that is. She always humiliates  

Callum just because hes not the best architect in the world.  'I never knew that, Mrs lane. Thats great.' Callum said.He smiled at her and i bet a thousand pounds that he knew my mum was being mean to him.

 'Not to be mean or anything,' my mum continued, 'but his salary in a month is more than you can make in a year.' 

Everyone except me, sis, ted and Callum understood how mean she was being. Ted's family was busy talking to my dad who finally came back from work.

 'Mum, there was no need for that.' I said, hoping she would eat and stop talking. But once my
