Kissing Prince Charming

We talk about weddings ♥

 "Do you think this is necessarily a good idea?"

I put my car into park and sink back into my seat. The whole drive here Jessie kept telling me all the ways this could go bad. Each scenario got more dramatic and more unbelievable the longer we drove, but that didn't stop me from worrying.

We were currently sitting outside my cousins house. Or apartment complex. Whatever you called it, you could easily tell which one belonged to Alyssa. Every other unit around her door has cute little decorations. One person even has a cat wind chime hanging above their door. Alyssa, on the other hand, had nothing.

"Aren't you supposed to be encouraging me?" I start, pushing my door open. "You know like Go Grace Go!" Jessie gives me a withering look. "Oh no. I've been encouraging this little triathlon of boys you've been kissing lately and guess where that left you? With a weird relationship with a hot nerd, a date with a daredevil, and Jacks Daniel thinking I have a crush on Leo. Thanks for that by the way."

Sighing, I get out of the car and try not to slam my door. To say I'm frustrated is the least of it. My life was currently becoming more and more of a mess. Ross was only speaking to me on Calculus terms. If it wasn't about numbers or my hate for Mr. Vincent, Ross wasn't having it. 

Hunter avoided me the week after the whole football incident thing and when I approached him and asked what the problem was, he gave me a paper with a frowny face on it stating he'll get back to me when he was over his tantrum. Which meant that left the whole Den situation.

Ever since that moment in the gym, Den has been slowly sneaking into my everyday thoughts. Which is so not okay. This whole idea that this date could happen at any moment has me on my toes. I had the potential of really liking this guy and it sorta scared me.

"Jacks I can handle. And the Leo thing I explained." Jessie shuts the passenger side door lightly and look up at me over the roof. "That whole situation is so strange. Like what could Hunter possibly do to keep your reputation spotless and to keep these boys from personally having vendetta's against you? Plus he's so odd. I asked him yesterday what his deal was with you and he handed me a blank paper with a question mark on it." 

She raises an eyebrow at me and I try not to laugh. I had no idea how to even answer that question.

"It's not funny! Who has the time or the will to carry around random things on paper? Plus why? I don't get it." She shakes her hair, making red strands stick to the side of her face. I shrug. Honestly trying to figure out Hunter would be like a random person trying to understand my whole Prince Charming situation. Some things are better left unsaid.

"How about we focus on Alyssa and not boys."

"Easier said than done."

Rolling my eyes, I start to head toward Alyssa's apartment. There was two reasons why I was here. One being Kassi and the other being my own personal agenda. The whole Kassi thing stemmed from the fact that I still thought Alyssa needed to be in Kassi's wedding. It was only two months away and it was starting to all come together. And Alyssa wasn't even there to see it all.

Since now seemed better than any other time, I called Jessie, we jumped in my car, and we headed here with a barely put together strategy. Basically it involved convincing Alyssa to swallow her pride and be there for her sister's big day. I would resort to begging if I had too.

The other reason I was here was because, like I said, my life was a mess. So why not start here? Maybe I could start small and once these things started to fit together the rest of my life would too. And if it didn't, at least I could say I helped the best I could.
