Chapter Twenty-Five, Part one

The day had finally arrived, and I had rearranged to get my hair cut yesterday so it looked freshly cut, instead of a small growth taking place if I had it cut when I first planned.

My hair grew way too fast.

I had slept alone, seeing as Lauren had Alexa over for a sleep over. They had a girls night in, face masks that made them look like witches with how scary they looked, along with a few other pampering things.

I had stopped by the store just yesterday, and it was a perfect fit. But seeing as Lauren was too eager to see it, I asked if they could hold it in the back for me until I came to pick it up a few hours before.

Now comes the start of a very fucking busy day of setting things up. A shit ton was to happen and it would only get busier.

06:32 am read my clock. Rolling out of bed, I ran my fingers through my hair and ruffled it up a little.

My hair was the worst for bed head. I had the sides shaved down to where I wasn't bald but was short enough. The top was trimmed and shaped better than what I usually would have.

After slipping on my jeans and a white short sleeve button up with a granddad neck typed collar, I put on my converses and was out the door by half seven. My first stop was the flower shop.

I had to pick up the large bouquet of white roses, along with the basket that contained a mix of different coloured roses. Oh, and not to mention the corsage I had designed with Kells and the owner of the store.

''Good to see you Mr.Strauss.'' The woman smiled, putting the white corsage into a somewhat pretty box. It was tied with a crimson red bow, with small white petals joined together.

''Everything ready?'' I asked, resting my arms on the counter, she simply nodded to me.

''The wall of white and pink roses got sent to the destination about half hour ago.''

''Okay great, thank you I truly appreciate all you've done for me.'' Smiling at her, she rubbed my arm before asking the guy to help me move everything into the back of the car. I shook his hand, and thanked him before setting on my way to the house. Once I delivered the bouquet of white roses with a note and gift, I set on my way to the venue.

It was about a six minute walk from the Prom venue so we were close, instead of having to drive from one place to the next. Pulling up beside the venue where the prom was being held, The Ritz Carlton.

The secret place where I'd be taking Lauren was situated on the far back of the hotel, where a fountain was situated looking on at the beach. I had booked to rent the place out for myself and Lauren for a few hours, seeing as I couldn't book it for an hour.

Fuckers.

''Name please?'' The front man asked as he stood behind the desk.

''Zachariah Strauss.'' Shifting on my feet, and tapping on the top of the desk I waited for him to find my name.

''Ah, Mr. Strauss. We have our employees working on the setting and organization. Would you like to go view?''

''Yes, that would be great. I have a few things to bring, could you possibly wait here for a moment?''

''Of course, please take your time.''

''So just move the flower wall over to the centre. No at the beginning of the fountain when we walk out, but like in the centre.'' I asked, confusing myself. But they decided to move it to the right side, that way when the time presented itself, we could take a picture with having a good view behind it.
