Chapter 120: Chapter 120

CIARA'S POV.

“no, I think the blue one will be good.. Yes, a bit.” I spoke into the phone while I relaxed, slouched my shoulders, my eyes roamed around and I loved the decorations,

“Okay then, thanks bye.. And please as soon as you can tomorrow, I want them all in place before the guests arrive.” I chirped in,

I peeled off the phone from my ears, a smile on my face as I headed back towards flora  who held Alfred  in her arms. They really had become best buds judging by how much he cooed and laughed whenever she made funny faces at him.

“I see you both found a replacement of me already.” I added in and faked an pout before stepping into the couch right beside her.

“Oh please, I would  Never replace you, I dare not, not after all that you had shown me. I mean, the ciara I know would never even talk about her feelings but hearing you said all that, just makes me question who you are? And what have you done to my friend?.” flora asked fondly with a smile resting on her face, it did make me a little worried but then again I blushed hard in response to her comments…

“common now…it's not that bad.” I added in, the smile on my face spread from side to side. I felt relieved at everything which she had said or done, but most of all I was beaming with smiles because I had finally gotten everything right under control, my dream plans, my dream life, every single thing which I wanted to happen, they all got to happen, each and every one of it,

“Please, let's take this up from the top. You really are getting married tomorrow… my best friend would soon be a wife… a Mrs.” flora screamed happily while a giggle  followed up behind on her words, she seemed relaxed  a lot that was happening  and so was I.

“I mean… yes I was surprised, but I did not expect things to get down to this lane, not by a bit you know.” I added in, and yes it did seem like I was flaunting to act proud but I really had not expected his mother to cave in, so easily and on purpose…

“evans? Where is he?.” she asked and my eyes trailed off to the entrance like I had expected him to walk in at any moment, as a matter of fact I was really intent on it, I had hoped he made way through the entrance.

It had been a week since the wedding preparation  had began, at first j had  felt somewhat stiff around Emily, but she turned out to be just lovely and helpful, all invitation was sent out again and we finally got away we wanted, a welcome station for the guest   and venue, our whole grounds, garage, rooftop, had all been cleared out in a good way, just the way that was to deem us fit well, and yes, it ended just the way I wanted to, except when I got down to the part where he went missing.

The part where everything was good, well so far given the stats, but it's been three nights row that had been bothering me, three straight up night he bad been off home for work, I was not so sure why I had begun overthinking things, especially when he  had been the one that sacrificed  bits of himself and peace for us all at home, but seeing how things dropped drastically and took a brand new turn  of wave, shook me by surprise I still did not understand it

Or perhaps it had to do with my opinion of Elena, I didn't like it, I didn't like the fact hat he was up and messing around with a lady like that, stuck  to work with her, maybe they were nothing but co-workers, however she seemed way more than that in my mind.

It was no lie, he had been busy at the clubhouse, as he made sure to put in a call through before it while I was asleep, but still that had not convinced me well enough, I had thought, I felt and beleived the last few days we were to be closer, sent away on time getting all excited and worked up, but it was the opposite, way distant from what I beleived to be true, it was us both being distant,

He returned home late in the afternoons and returned back at early night to his clubhouse. it was not faring right  with me, but we were in a good spot at the moment, canceling things out was unfair, from my own end.

“ciara!.” flora yelled and I got drawn out of whatever fancy wonder land it was that I had been in all along.

“Let's be honest now, is something bothering you?.” she asked and I smiled, is a snot sure if it was worth speaking off, getting her worked up, was not really the best thing, not for me or her…

“it's nothing much… I don't think getting it all over is worth it.” I responded honestly if my mind still remained filled with doubts.

“common, spill !/ now! Or are we keeping secrets from each other now?.” she asked and I smiled.

“I'm not so sure , it's just a little bit of… I don't know, it's Evans, he's been a little strange lately  but then again, I should not be pawning up baselessly on that, it's still the same bloody thing. I'm worked up too and it's probably the we are both  stress all up thanks to the wedding plans.” I added in, it seemed more like I was dying to let him off, dying to prove that he was not at fault or so bad.He was just as innocent as he wanted to be, and it was a starter for me, I has never done anything as such.before at least not when it got down to flora.

“You sound really awful ciara, so rather than doing this, just come out plain and honest to me.”  flora asked, she sat up and I realized that it was seen as silly to have thought lying to her was a good thing from the beginning.

The doorbell rang and I excused myself headed straight to it, hoping it had been billy who I had gotten on a call with earlier.

I pushed open the doors and my face fell as I realized it turned out to be the last person I had expected myself to see.

.

“oh,, Elena, you are here” I spoke as i tried as hard as I could to have my bitterness hidden
