Chapter 45 - Jitters

A/N: So in the chapter ahead there will be paragraphs and dialogue in italics which means that Ashley is having a flashback to what actually happened therefore the writing is in present tense.

Enjoy!

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I chanted to myself as I stared across at the woman in the mirror. She was dressed in her pyjamas and had a horrible bedhead. A cup lay on my table and it contained warm milk in it.

Tomorrow was the big day for me. I was no longer going to be just Ashley Hayes, I was going to be Ashley Hayes Hawthorne.

I was nervous as hell and although I felt like a complete wreck, Lina, Melanie, Melissa and even Perla and Claire wouldn't allow me and Brandon to see each other which greatly annoyed me. I was missing him and I hadn't seen or spoken to him in a week. It felt like centuries and although I'm exaggerating quite a bit, I truly missed him a lot.

I sipped my warm milk and continued to look at myself in the mirror. I marvelled at how fast the month and a bit flew by. We'd spent most of it with wedding planners who helped us get everything planned for tomorrow.

We'd gone to, wine tasting, cake tasting, cake designs, dress checks, hairstyle choosing, make-up trials, flower choosing for the church and for the bouquet I was to hold. We'd also gotten professional people to design the invitations and send them out,  Perla had also helped with the designs as she was very good at graphic design.

The girls had also planned our engagement evening where Brandon and I announced our engagement to the world. There were tons of paparazzi that appeared.

"I'd like to thank all of you for being here," Brandon began as he clutched my hand tightly, "Today my beautiful girlfriend and I would like to make a very important announcement. We're engaged and are going to get married!" He told the world and I smiled at him as he pulled me into a small side-way hug.

"When's the date?"

"Is this a business arrangement?"

"What about Miss Sophia Lancross?"

The reporters yelled.

"Yes we are in love," I said, finally gaining the courage to speak to the hounding reporters, "And no this is not a business arrangement. We're marrying for love." I said and looked at Brandon's dreamy blue eyes.

Brandon escorted me off the stage and to our seats. At our table sitting with us, we had: Evelyn, Richard, Hunter, Claire, Alessio, Melanie, Lina, Melissa, Perla, Nicholas, Zoey and Angelo.

All of them were Brandon and I's friends. My friends had made sure that I was the only one dressed in midnight blue as the other guests were requested to wear white, peach or any pastel colour of their choice. Brandon had bought a suit that matched the colour of my dress along with a very cute bow tie that was wrapped snugly around his neck.

My dress was chosen by Melanie, who'd returned from her honeymoon. Alessio had taken her to Madagascar, an island just off the coast of South Africa. Of course, Mel loved it there.

The dress was beautiful and showed very little cleavage. It was a floor-length gown that was tight and reached the floor puffing out with a mini train behind it. It was basically a mermaid tail dress and Melanie had a big obsession with it. I was wearing silver sparkly heels to match, along with the expensive jewellery set that Brandon had given me seconds before we left for the event together.
