reality.

 

She's really getting married and having a baby.

 

"When did you guys met, and does he love you?" i asked.

 

She scoffs, "Elle stop being so defensive. I know you want what's best and I hope you know that I'm happy, but he really does. It was back when you left for Paris, and I was at a store buying juice and there he was standing next to me. He offered to help me take the grocery bags to the house and we started seeing each other after that day."

 

 

We both smiled in excitement

 

"So tell me when’s the wedding Carla and what dress will you be wearing?"

 

 

She sighed the smiled. 

 

"Well, since I knew you worked at Duboni's, she said she would love to design my dress and i’ll pick up the dress next week here. It'll be 2 days before the wedding which reminds me, you and Jacob are obiviously invited!"

 

"So fast," I said hurriedly.

 

"Why didn’t you tell me you were getting married next week, I would have been glad to plan with you."

 

 

She answered.

 

"Well, since we found out we were pregnant, I wanted to go right ahead and plan for the wedding. Since then, we were engaged and there was no choice. We’d either do it after the baby, which would cost so much for more people and the baby present in the wedding, I wanted a simple life track plan. That my child was born, after we were engaged and married."

 

 

I understood Carla, We became good friends and even more now, especially since we're getting more bonding time now that’ she’s getting married.

 

 

"So Carla ,what should I do to prepare for your wedding. If everything is okay?" I asked.

 

"Yes, everything for the wedding is ready. Now all I have to do is shop for a few things, get my wedding dress next week and get ready for the big day. But as for now, i’m just calm until the day comes." she answered.

 

 

We both went shopping that morning and took maternity photos with her fiancé, who I also got to meet of course.

 

 

While preparing for the wedding, I also had time to fit in and spend with Jacob.

 

As we were slowly building more trust in our relationship, it’s getting better by the day.

 

 

The last thing I had to do was check what the weather was gonna be on the wedding day.

 

Then get dinner ready and we had wait for when Carla and I get her wedding dress.

 

 

"Alright Jacob that’s enough, I need to help Theodore in the kitchen with dinner." i said.

 

Jacob wouldn't let go of me. When did he get so clingy all of the sudden?

 

I walk towards the kitchen to help.

 

 

The rest of the night Carla, Joe and Jacob plus me, watched a movie late a night before we went to bed.

 

Carla's mom will come by and see her try on the dress.

 

I bet it'll be magical.

 

Chapter Seventeen: Hands On Me

 

 

It’s early in the morning and i’m getting ready to go out with Carla and her mom to see her try on the dress, and let me just say, Carla still looks slim even though she’s 1 month pregnant. Carla’s mom must be proud of her, to find a guy who she loves her and wants to marry her. And as for me, i’m still rekindling my relationship with Jacob and it’s going well. We’ve only slowly started getting back into going out while Carla and her fiancé try to bring what they call 'the heat back', I have no idea what she's talking about but I guess Jacob understands, because he was nodding while Carla and Joe talked to us about it. Has it been so long since i blogged? Sorry for the late post my ElleWooders. A lot has been going and it’s all under control, I least that i know of. In a few weeks Jacob and i will be going back to New York as we regain the habit of going out again. Love and miss all of you so much, but i've gotta go and see ya next time!” - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

After finishing up my blog post, I started to dress.

 

I picked something pretty to wear, for when Carla comes out of the dressing room at the fitting.

 

Carla came into my room yelling.

 

"Today, i’m getting my wedding dress!"

 

"We know, you've been excited about it all week." I say tiredly.

 

 

She said it over and over again, until I finally looked up from the mirror, brushing my teeth.

 

She was prancing around in my room, jumping on the bed.

 

"Stop. Remember Carla jumping up and down is not good for you right?" I said.

 

 

She stopped jumping and got off the bed quickly.

 

"Sorry Elle, I'm just so excited that I get to try on and see my wedding dress today. I bet you i’ll look sliming in it." she says.

 

"Of course, you're one month pregnant. There's nothing there." I say coming from the bathroom.

 

"Don't say that, you'll hurt it's feelings." she says, rubbing her stomach on her way out.

 

 

She hurried back to her room and got ready while I finished dressed up.

 

That morning Carla was so excited to try on her dress, that she didn’t eat breakfast.

 

I sighed at the thought, Iput her breakfast in a brown bag and stuffed it in my purse.

 

Then we were out the door.

 

 

When we got to the shop, I saw Duboni working behind the service desk.

 

"Hey Duboni, long time no see." I say.

 

"Elle," I hear her say elegantly, making her way to met.

 

"Bonjour Elle, nice to see you're still looking fashionable."

 

 

She took a piece of paper and walked towards Carla.

 

"Your dress is ready, let me pick it out for you." Duboni said, going to the back room.

 

 

She showed me and Carla towards to back to the room ,where her dress was.

 

She led us past a few dresses that seemed to look beautiful.

 

 

Then she finally landed on a dress, just close enough to the runway mirror in the back to the room.

 

"And here’s your dress Carla, made just for you. Customized by me of course." she says.

 

 

Carla stood there for a moment then picked up the dress, I could tell she was speechless and I took her into the dressing room.

 

"Come on Carla you don’t have time to waste, the wedding’s in 2 days." I say.

 

 

A couple minutes go by, then she finally comes out.

 

I had to admit, she looked the best out of the times i’ve seen her dressed up. And after all this time, I hadn’t seen her.

 

And being pregnant? I’m surprised, it looks like she isn’t even pregnant in that dress.

 

 

She looked amazingly beautiful and I can’t fit in anymore words to explain how she looks, but she looks stunning.

 

"Wow."

 

It was all we could say, when she saw herself in the mirror mainly.

 

Her mom showed up.

 

"Aye, Carla you look beautiful, just beautiful like me." said Carla's mom.

 

"Xo, how would you feel when you see Carla and Joe got married today? Just a theory." I asked

 

 

Carla left to the changing room, Xo sighed then answered.

 

"I would feel proud of my daughter and Joe getting married, even if it was today. It was always one of her dreams to marry the one person who she could always love. I all the way here from Mexico to be at her wedding, i’ll always be there for my baby."

 

 

Carla came out and got her dress ready to go.

 

"Okay girls, since I tried it out and it's ready for Saturday, let’s go get married!" she says.

 

 

She walked out of the room and waited for me and her mom, Xo pulled me aside before continuing to walk beside Carla.

 

 

"Let’s just say, Elle. That your relationship with Jacob, will get better especially, if you have heat." she whispered, walked alongside with Carla.

 

I’m surprised, Xo knew something about relationships and heat.

 

 

Later today, me, Carla and Xo went out to the club. Or what Xo said was a 'nice place to hang out'.

 

I’m surprised the club was really loud, and Xo left us fast to go and party with friends.

 

 

Me and Carla hung around the nice couches and talked with people.

 

I went to go get a drink, when suddenly Jacob showed up behind me.

 

"Uh, Elle that’s alcohol." he says.

 

"Oh, I was looking for water." I said.

 

I reached to put my hand up for a bartender.

 

 

He stopped me and poured water in a cup for me.

 

"Here." he says.

 

 

I took the cup and smiled.

 

"So why are you here? Keeping tabs on me, because that is so wrong." I say.

 

 

I was about to leave Carla behind to be with Jacob all night, but I needed to find her.

 

I turned to see where she was, when he stopped me again.

 

 

"What are you doing here? Go home or something, aren't you suppose to be with Joe at his bachelor's party?" I asked over the loud music.

 

"Listen ya don't have to be here, you can be somewhere else more quiet." he says.

 

 

I didn’t understand, but Icould care less.

 

 

"No thanks i’m good, plus I gotta watch out for Carla. She might secretly try to drink alcohol when i'm not looking. But hanks anyways, i’ll see you at home."

 

 

Before going back to where the girls were, Jacob stopped me again, before I could take another step.

 

"Do you not want to be alone tonight?" I asked.

 

"Elle, listen to me. I can take you somewhere far from here, where we're alone and it’s just you and me."

 

 

I pondered on it, it has been days since we've been alone.

 

Not with Carla and Joe in the mansion.

 

 

He seemed to had plans for us, even I didn’t know of.

 

He put down my drink and held my hands.

 

"When you're ready to go, i’ll be outside by the car waiting for you."

 

 

He left quickl,y before I had a chance to say something.

 

He disappeared, into the crowd.

 

I went to find Carla quickly.

 

 

I spot her and run instantly, I needed to get out here.

 

I barely made it out alive through a crowd of people dancing.

 

 

"Carla i’m leaving, make sure to be safe and watch out for your mom. I have to find out what Jacob's plan."

 

She nods her head and I quickly walk towards the exit, when I felt a rush going through my head.

 

Like I was telling myself something I knew would come this day and tonight was probably it.

 

 

I ignored the feeling and went out the exit, where I found Jacob standing by a car, in the front of the club entrance.

 

He stood there, looking at me. All knowing that I made the right decision.

 

 

I ran up towards him and gave him a hug.

 

He smelled really nice, his cologne seeped into my memory. If this was all I could remember today, it would be worth it.

 

I would never leave his arms.

 

 

We got in the car and we were off. He took me to a nice big place off a big mountain, east from the Mansion.

 

It was nice and quiet, just like how Jacob said back in the club.

 

 

When we arrived, the sky was as dark like the blankets of space.

 

And a star above shone, I looked up to notice it.

 

This is definitely, one of the best moments I experienced in a long time.

 

 

He opened the door for me and lead me inside the house.

 

When I opened the light, I was mesmerized by the sparkle of the lights in my eyes.

 

I barely paid attention to what Jacob said.

 

 

When I finally came to, I looked towards Jacob, he asked me
