Mauve and Silver (Part 1)

As the butler handed Reyanna her coat and beret, Olivia came to her side.

"I'm really sorry about Dan. He's...not like this usually. I hope you don't mind if we bring him along tomorrow?" She asked looking at Mark, and then her.

"Uh..." Reyanna couldn't say anything. How can she decline her clients?

"He's a bit important you see...being my best man and all," Mark spoke.

"Dios mio!" Reyanna muttered under her breath. He had to be the best man, didn't he? What the actual fuck!

"In that case, it's alright, Mr. White. I'll see you all tomorrow," She said, the butler opened the door for her, and Reyanna stepped out only to face the dreading cold.

"Nombre de Dios, why did you have to send me here of all places?" Reyanna muttered loudly to herself walking towards her car.

"So that we could meet," A voice startled her causing her to jump back. Reyanna's boot's heel slipped on the wet ground and she almost fell before the similar strong arms held her steady.

"I think this is going to be our thing," The guy, Dan showed her his pearly whites. For a moment Reyanna thought whether she has ever seen teeth so white. "I can get used to this," He grinned.

Then she noticed that his arms were on her waist and hers were holding the fabric of his coat tightly. Reyanna regained her footing and stood straight pushing him away.

"I know what else you can get used to," Reyanna said.

"What?" He smirked. The nerve!

"My fist, and your face!" She exclaimed. But before she could hit him, he caught her arm, and twisted it behind her, pulling her close to his chest.

"I am really sorry for doing this. Reflexes," He suddenly loosened his grip when Reyanna winced. "This was not gentlemanly. I am extremely sorry," He looked down apologetically.

"Whatever okay. I don't really care," Reyanna brushed it off. She for some reason felt bad seeing him looking down like that.

"Allow me to introduce myself," He said. "Hayden Lenox of Devonshire, at your service," He bowed.

"Reyanna Valdez...of Castelldefels, Barcelona. I'm the wedding planner so yeah...at your service," She told him.

"Reyanna..." He echoed. Her name sounded weird from his mouth. Must be the accent.

"Yeah. So Hayden, nice to meet you and all, but I gotta go," She told him, backing away.

"You have someone waiting for you?" He asked curiously.

"Other than my Abuelos...um...grandparents, no. But I really hate this, can't stand here longer than this," She told him, wrapping her arms around her for warmth.

"You don't like England?" He sounded surprised.

"No, it's not like that. England is fine, but I really hate cold, and it's my first time here in winters. I don't like it. If you'll allow me," She said and he nodded.

Reyanna quickly opened her car and sat down, sighing as the warmth hit her. She pressed the start button of her car and reversed the car out of the driveway and zoomed out not before looking at Hayden in her rear view mirror who still stood there until he faded off her sight.

Reyanna met the three the very next day. It was weird though, the staff was so formal with Hayden. While they went through the cards Reyanna shortlisted, she went out to see Kai. She had to ask him about the weird behavior.

"Ti...I mean Uncle Kai?" Reyanna knocked. When there was no reply, she decided to peep only to close the door. When will these two ever stop making out? By making out she meant...ugh never mind.
