Veronica got off her call and came back to the shopping room she had left Alexa and the other attendants. Alexa had added some other clothes she liked and she had one in particular wrapped for a special someone, her mom and Jerry's clothes in another bag and the rest were to be packaged differently as well.
So when they were done shopping, a male and female attendants helped them with their bags of clothes straight to the car where the driver was waiting for them to set them all nicely in the boot of the phantom Rolls Royce and soon they left the boutique and grandmother told the driver where to next.
"I was on a call with my dear Friend from Paris. She came into town two nights ago and told me she has new collections of shoes and bags." Mr Veronica said.
"OK?" Alexa replied Waiting for her to finish talking.
"So I would want us to go there together right now and now and check them out. They are very few editions and the latest, so we better go now so we get to collect the nicest ones Right my dear?" Veronica asked.
"Yeah grand mom, you are Right. But are you not tired?" Alexa asked.
"We just spent couple of hours at the boutique, I am not exhausted at all. Besides we have other places to visit. If you think I will be releasing you on time today, forget it my dear. You are stuck with me today," Veronica laughed in a good way as she said.
"Oh grandmother, I just feel you have gotten me enough already and maybe we should continue another day. But since you would not want that, then I am all yours for today." Alexa said smiling.
"Thank you my dear. That is all I want. To be able to sit with you and have a wonderful time and really get to know you plus I always wanted to have a daughter you know?" Veronica said.
"Oh yeah?" Alexa asked. "Yeah but I had one son and you know I and my husband lost him and his wonderful wife and since then the pain of loosing a child did not want me to have another one." Veronica explained while still inside the car now driving to their next appointment.
"I am sorry about that. You must have been devastated." Alexa said.
"All I wanted that period in my life was to die and end the pain." Veronica said.
"Oh grandmother," Alexa said placing her hands on Bryan's grand mother's hands on her knee.
"But my dear, God has a way of helping us. You know," grandma said.
"Yeah He Does" Alexa replied.
"When he closes the door, somewhere he opens a window. In your darkest time, you get to later see a ray of light, of hope. In that moment you follow that ray of light and come out of your darkness and at the end of the tunnel, all you will find afterwards is light, and Joy." She said smiling at Alexa with a teary eye.
Alexa helped her with a neat white handkerchief to dry her eyes so she would not ruin her make-up.
"So Bryan my Darling boy was left with I and his grandfather and it was as if life now gave me another chance at being a mother. So I concentrated all my love and time to my boy." Grandma Veronica said.
"Well I mist confess you did a good job. He has grown to become that fine young man, bold, dedicated, concentrated, loving, and handsome young man." Alexa said trying to praise her contracted husband.
"Now he has you in his life and I deeply feel you love my boy and he does too. I know most times he works a lot and do not have time for you. But do not worry he will change and spoil you rotten. But if he does not then I will do that for him," Veronica said and they bought laughed out loud that even the driver smiled a little.
"I am sure he will Mrs Veronica. I just want to give him time. He is so busy and I completely understand," Alexa said.
"Yes he is and that is why he has not taken you for your honeymoon. Did both of you talk about it last night before going to bed?" Mrs Veronica asked.
"Hhmmm.....yeah we did a little." Alexa said now Adjusting herself well.
"Well have you both decided when?" Grandma was becoming anxious to know the answer.
"He just told me whenever we are ready to go for it that he would love it if u worked with you and plan it." Alexa said.
"Oh wonderful," grandmother said.
"But we have not decided on a date and I would rather you just plan it yourself so I do not interfere with your arrangement." Alexa suggested.
"Whatever you want my Darling. When you both decide I would do my best to make it a fairytale honeymoon," she held Alexa's hands and smiled at her. You could tell she just could not wait for them to give her the go ahead.
Soon they got to the boutique which grand ma's Friend own and they got out, Mrs Veronica greeted her French friend with lots of hugs and kisses.
"Oh Mrs V. it is always good to see you. You never age," She said as they walked into the huge boutique filled with designer bags and shoes. Alexa was dazzled.
Later she started showing them around when Alexa excused herself out of the Louis Vuitton section to make a call to her mom and Jerry.
As she picked out her phone from her purse she saw a missed can from Patricia and decided to call her back but she was not picking the call so she then went ahead to dial Jerry's number when she got interrupted by a voice behind her.
"Alexa!!! Is it really you?
As she turned, she was shocked to see who it was.
" Richie....."
