Not So Unfortunate Marriage

Chapter 5

         *Audrey's dress is on the side*

Chapter 5

            Sunday passed pretty quickly. Ann took me out to find the “perfect wedding dress” which ended up being an ivory beaded empire waist corset sheath silhouette Chiffon wedding dress. It was nice, and fit me perfectly. Ann loved it, I think even more than I did. She and I decided to go to the mall; she wanted to look at a few things, while I was looking for Alec. He was sitting at our table at the café.

            I looked at Ann with pleading eyes. “Can I just go talk to him for a moment?” I asked.

            She nodded. “Okay, give him this,” she said handing me an envelope.

            “What is it?” I asked turning it over.

            “An invitation,” she smiled before walking off.

            I shrugged and practically skipped to Alec. He stood up to hug me before I sat down.

            “Hey,” I smiled as we took our seats.

            “Hey, beautiful. You look happy,” he noted.

            I nodded and handed him the invitation biting my inner cheek.

            “Let me guess, a wedding invitation?” he asked.

            I nodded. “Ann said to give it to you. I got my dress today.”

            “You like it?” he asked.

            I bobbed my head. “Yes it is so extremely pretty. It’s an ivory beaded empire waist corset sheath silhouette Chiffon wedding dress,” I said proudly.

            “So you’re okay with…everything?” he asked.

            “I figured I might as well enjoy my wedding…even though it’s not really the groom of my choice,” I said with an awkward smile.

            “I still can’t believe that jerk,” Seth said hitting the table. “How can he just take you, without any question?”           

            I shrugged. “It’s just the way it is.”

            Seth pushed the coffee on the table to me. “I got this for you,” he said. “I drank a couple sips of it.”

            “Thank you,” I smiled taking a small sip of the hot liquid.

            “Oh look who it is Jack, its little Miss Audrey Kempt,” Alec’s friend Jared said pulling up a chair. Jack did the same. “Aren’t you getting some from Jace Goldman?”

            “Back off Jared,” Alec warned.

            “You know, Alec, she is hot. Too bad I didn’t try to go after you,” Jack said leaned closer to me.

            “Both of you go,” Alec snapped. “Leave her alone.”

            “Why?” Jared asked sliding an arm towards me.

            Jack took my coffee and drank a sip of it.

            I jumped up, the chair smacking the linoleum. “I should go fine Ann.”

            Alec glared at his friends before standing up and walking around to me. “I am so sorry about them, Audrey. I’ll walk with you ‘till you find her.”
