Forever and always

Chapter fifty-five

"So Isa, the big day is approaching huh?" Kelly smiled, us three girls were just sitting together at the end of the table talking while the boys talked about something else. "Oh tell me about it, I'm so stressed. I feel like I have thousands of things to do" she answered. "Is there something we can help with?" I asked. "No not really, it's just we haven't decided on something like the cake yet! And whenever the baker has time Carlos isn't around, so I have to make this decision by myself. Just like some other small things. Because he's not around" she answered. "Oh god, why don't I come with you to taste the cake? Then I can get some inspiration for our wedding" I asked. "I would love that, thanks oli" she smiled. The three of us talked a lot about the two upcoming weddings. Carlos and Isa's and mine and Charles. The boys were surprisingly talking about racing, of course they were..

Time flew by, we got more and more to drink and we danced the entire night away. When the clock hit 4.30am we were as good as wasted, almost every single human in this club, but that just showed it had been a great party! - We walked home from the club to the apartment where we fell asleep right the minute our head hit the pillow.

The next day I woke up with the biggest hangover, my head was pounding like crazy and I felt really sick. I looked to my right and saw Charles was gone, so I got up and searched for him in the apartment. "God damn, I will not drink this much for the next ten years" Charles said with a little laugh walking out of the bathroom. "Oh gosh me either" I answered and then we walked to the kitchen together to drink some ice cold water to hydrate a bit. "Happy birthday babe" I said and went to give him a big kiss. "Thanks love" he smiled and hugged me.

After a few hours it was quite late already since we got home early in the morning and we slept until late today. But we decided to pull ourselves together and go for a run, since it's a good way to freshen up a bit. Even though all I wanted right now was to sit on our couch watching movies and eat fast food, but the other option is better.
So we got into our gym clothes and then went for a run in Monte Carlos' beautiful streets.

When we got back and felt way better. We showered and then got ready, because we had planned on visiting Pascale tonight for dinner, since it's Charles' birthday after all.

We arrived at her place and were greeted by the lovely lady who is always with the biggest smile and full of love.

"You two look great" she smiled and looked at us. "Oh we don't feel like that, that part yesterday was crazy" Charles said and went to the kitchen to look for something to drink. "Thank you Pascale, you look wonderful as well" I smiled and then we followed Charles to the kitchen. After a few minutes his younger and older brother arrived as well, Lorenzo and Arthur.

We ate lots of food which Pascale had made, she had made all Charles's favorites, and it tasted absolutely delicious. "So does anyone fancy some dessert?" She asked as we had just finished eating. "Mom Jesus, we just ate," Lorenzo said. "I'm joking, but in an hour you all should eat some dessert! You look like four chickens who haven't eaten in days!" She laughed and got up from the table to start taking out everything. "Ihh thanks mom" Arthur said and rolled his eyes. "better do what the boss says" Charles laughed, and so did the other two.

I helped Pascale with the dishes while the three brothers talked in the dining room. She and I talked about the wedding while cleaning. She is so excited and it's really cute. But of course she is, her son is getting married as the first of the three of them, it's a huge thing.

"Pascale, I have an idea for the wedding, but I won't tell Charles until the day" I smiled. "What is it sweetie?" She asked. "So I want to have an empty seat reserved at the reception, and a sign which says it's for the people who couldn't be here. So like for Jules, his father and everyone else we have lost that meant a lot" I said and she seemed really emotional. "That's a wonderful idea! He would love this, I know he wanted those two to be at his wedding more than anything" she smiled and couldn't resist giving me a little hug. "Exactly. He has lost so many important people so I want to remember them at the wedding as a surprise for him" I answered. "You should do that, he's lucky to have you Olivia" she smiled. "I'm the lucky one for sure," I answered. It was settled. I am definitely doing that at the wedding, we would love it!

We didn't do much the rest of the day. The four of us were still really tired after last night's party, so we just chilled a bit with a board game and Pascales homemade birthday cake she makes for her boys every single year. Honestly it was an amazing way to end Charles' birthday and also after a perfect day yesterday.
