Chereads / Not Home (Vanaheim's Princess) / Chapter 2 - Chicken out

Chapter 2 - Chicken out

That same day, 7:30 pm .

Here I am, staring at different belles taking their measurements in Sia's boutique. Sometimes I really do envy her; she has a beautiful life, nice facials, a physique of a thick model, an amazing home and a great job.

It's clear I don't even have half of those, it's not self-criticism, it's a fact I hate, myself. 

'Okay ladies, it's a wrap, by the end of Friday the dresses will be made, and the aisle walking practice will begin.' Sia says as she shows off her thighs in her velvet shorts.

'Sia, I owe you a huge thank you, this wedding wouldn't be sleek without your help.' Cassie says with a smile on.

Eish her perfect set of teeth, what a bride, asides Sia, Cassie was one beauty you wouldn't dare pass by without looking three times.

Yes I say it again, three times; she's a rare beauty, atlas I can't catch up to hers as well.

Did I just hear her say "sleek", something tells me she's lying, either that or she's losing it.

'I mean just take a look at the colours you've picked, I absolutely love them.' Cassie continues.

Yup, she's lost it; I better keep my phone close. Don't get me wrong, I really care about Cassie as a good friend should and all, but if she keeps this up, imma have to call up Uncle Joe from the asylum.

'It's alright sweetie , I can only do all in my power to make your wedding arrangements perfect, all you have to do is prepare your mind to get married to Ken, that's way more important, besides we're gonna become a family.', Sia replies ,slowly caressing Cassie's cheek.

Why does this goddess have to remind me of how successful both of her brothers have been in getting life partners, with the glow she has on her face lately, we all know who's gonna be next.

'Now that we're done can we grab some food.', Juan asks.

Yup, I almost forgot we had a glutton in our mist, the one who completes us all, my Ju , that's what I call her , she makes me feel so comfy in my single life.

We both planned on adopting kids in the next five years, that is ,if we both still are single, not that I'm a fan of kids, but if I don't follow in her footsteps , I'll be much of a concern to the rest as Jace Norman was to his fans, when he lost his hair .

Yes I watch teens channel, so what?

'Yup , so am I , I'm on a special meat diet lately , I already ordered food .', a sound came from the door.

I never knew dogs were invited to a human wedding, she must have put off her carnassials to be here, or did she?

Here we go, everyone this is Valentina, the wealthiest , healthiest, and clingiest of us all, I wonder how they think she's a friend of ours, I almost lost an ear to her, owing to a weird scenario of her stolen man.

From that day, I hated her more, from the first day we met , her attitude never sat right with me , and it probably never will.

'I thought you said you were vegan.', I fire back.

It never gets old.

'Well yes, I was , but then my doctor found out a week ago that I was allergic to broccoli , and that's a core veggie , so I decided to take a break from the vegan world, and you know, come join in your world .'Valentina replies springing her head up and exhaling.

I look at her and see two fools in front of me, Juan, who's now nodding silently without questioning her further, and lastly Valentina, who thinks I'm one of her dummies to believe her.

'I've never heard anyone who's had an allergy to broccoli in my five years experience in the medical field.' I quickly reply, not minding the dim red colour surfacing her eyeballs.

Let's see her beat that. Its been a while since I saw her puff up this much when we discuss, I forgot how satisfying it felt.

'Well I have and I know its no small issue, my ex had it, and trust me, it gets pretty ugly when it happens.' Cassie says and dawns her eyes to the floor when it meets mine.

Uncle Joe, wherever you are, get ready, I'm proposing she'll be a runner. No more Miss nice girl, I won't hold back no more, right after I remember what I'm holding back.

'Thank you Cassie, you've saved me from embarrassing a medical practitioner, it's a good thing she's not my personal doctor, but seriously I can't employ an inexperienced excuse of a human.' Valentina says playing a smile on her lips.

'That's it, I'm outta here.' I say picking up my bag from a chair beside me.

I can't believe I let her....

'Enough of this now ! When will you both learn to get along?' Sia asks.

Probably when I elope with flying pigs. She looks pissed for some reason, and the bridal train hotties look surprised, I really wonder why, as for Cassie and the rest of our friends, Valentina and I at once will never keep a peaceful gathering going, and that is a fact they still try to comprehend.

'Probably never baby girl.' Valentina replies with a grin.

I swiftly but gracefully make my way to the door, a replay of Sia's face changes my mood; I should be the one getting upset and not her. But I get it, her boutique, her customers, her rules; no one has a right to cause a ruckus as we are now.

'So you'll just chicken out as you always do Ivvrine Irvine Don Marcus.', Valentina continues.

Yup, that's the push I was waiting for. You see, between you and I, and the rest of my friends, only two things can ever make me show the real me.

And Valentina Shorlocks hasn't left even one of em out.

'Stop !' I scream and stop immediately as I find out I've frozen time again.

For the record, I cant control it, I never could, my psychologist thinks I need to go for a "Mind wash", or whatever its called.

But its uncalled for, and so is sending my duplicates to help me out on chore day, what can I say, I have had a heck of a life with these humans.
