Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

It's morning already and I just woke up , I totally forgot today was Grey wedding maybe I overslept I said to myself. Ouch my head hurts so bad I gest it could have been because of the party we had last night. I need to take a cool shower and take some pain killers maybe the hurt am feeling would reduce. So I went into the bathroom took a cool shower and after that I took some painkillers and put on the dress made for bridal trade and came out of my room 

Mildred you finally came out I thought you would not wake up until a handsome prince kiss you and break the sleeping spell. Lisa said 

What happened last night I can't remember a thing that happen and where is Ashley. 

He dropped us home and went back to his place. And Mildred you look so cute and demure on this dress.

Thanks, But we are both on the same dress so what the difference 

Yes I know but it's look more good on you than on me 

It fine, can we start going we are getting late already. I said 

Ok just wait a minute I just need to grab my handbag. And are we going in your car 

Yes. Ouch 

Mildred what is wrong with you.

It's nothing I just have a mild migraine but have taken some painkillers so it would still get better 

That means you can't drive under this condition. So I have to take us then. Have you had anything to eat.

No I haven't but I will on my way to the wedding hall. So can we start going now 

Ok. Let go 

We both stood up and left. 

Wow grey you look so handsome. I said 

I know, it my wedding I need to look the best at the hall. He said 

We both smiled 

What happened to you last night? Grey ask

I don't remember a thing the only I can remember is that I got drunk and I have the feeling I did many dumb things last night . Anyway I'm so sorry for inviting Ashley without informing you about his coming, it was lame. 

It's ok. He said 

Anyway. What did you do after I left ?. I asked him 

Honestly, the last thing I remember was chas yanking that suit off me or something like that. Well for someone who's been hunted by a woman I sure do clean up so well

Yeah. You do look handsome 

Wow I can't believe this day is really happening we would talk about this so much when we were younger.

Yes, I remember.

Where is Lisa I haven't seen her since you came in. He asked 

You know her, she is probably some where doing her things. I answered 

We both burst into laughter 

I also remember how she always says she will get married before us .

Yeah I do. Lisa is just too wild but sweet . I said 

Yeah. yeah I know her that why I love her so much even if she always acts like a donkey. Grey said.

I know right. 

Well, i have a feeling that somebody isn't too far behind me . Grey said with a smile holding my arm 

 Hey guys. Wow my goodness, look at you! . Lisa said . You look so handsome. I can't express how handsome you look without cursing in the church so I will just shut up.

We all started laughing as soon as she said that.

Ok. It time guys let go. Lisa said 

 The wedding was finally over. With all the songs from the chorus, and ought taking, finally came and end. We all came out to take pictures when we found they were more photographers than usual.

Chas what all this people did you mom get more photographers. Grey asked 

No she didn't. Chas responded 

Miss Mildred are you and Ashley getting married now? . One of the photographer asked 

No. No is my friend wedding. I said 

Miss Mildred is Ashley here ? We heard he was here last night with you. They asked the more and still taking more photos 

No he is not here right now, but he was here last night and it was wonderful. But if you guys wouldn't mind letting my friend enjoy their wedding day , please we need to pass through. 

Why is she calling me now . Ashley ask him self 

Because I'm right here darling. Anna said 

What are you doing here? He asked 

I came for the wedding too, you didn't even invite me, it was supposed to be like a fling . Not a full- time relationship. She said holding his hand 

I am just trying to help us out here and stop acting childish. He said 

I didn't have anything better to do this weekend, so I decided to go with you. I couldn't stand the thought of you way out here with her alone .

Ok fine. Let go, I am already on my way when I saw your calls. Ashley said 

Where are you going to. Anna asked

Oh that's. I hope the hall is classy and I hope it isn't some where that will destroy my skin barrier and affect my health. She asked

It happens . He said 

Yeah. I responded.

You think people always find their perfect match ? He asked 

My mom and dad did . I answered 

Well, they certainly gave you standards, that's good. I don't think it was as easy for them as you think. I bet they had to work pretty hard for what they have, I think that all relationship do. I wish my parents worked harder sometimes. He said taken a sip from his drink.

 I got to admit this is not quite as bad as I thought it would be . It actually been kind of fun . He said 

 Yeah, It's definitely gone better than I expecting you know , for the record. He said 

Sorry if I gave you a hard time before. I said 

I wasn't exactly a distinguish gentleman around you either . He said smiling . Personally I think we kind of like teasing each other, that what couple do after all.

Mm- hmmm . I said 

Where are we going after the whole wedding thing, like a vacation. Ashley ask 

It's kind of silly, but you what I always thought would be a fun vacation?. A road trip across the states in a RV. Just camping, and cooking, and seeing the sights. Just simple. I said 

Slumming it through middle America. A big cam - out , yeah I'm down for it . He said 

 So let go. I think the party is still going on? He said 

Yeah. I should probably check on Lisa. She never survive with me or will I say I without her . And I bet she's waiting for me at the entrance . I said 

Ok then, come on . Ashley said 

Thanks you for the nice chatting.he said 

Yeah, you too . I said smiling and leaving without saying bye.
