CHAPTER 39
IRIS LOU POV
“When is the wedding?” Aunt Carmine suddenly asked while we were eating breakfast.
“Don’t worry about that mom, we already found the best place for our wedding and that place is Villa Eve.” Cleopard replied while eating. I just saw that place I liked the crib because of its beauty.
Villa Eve has a typical Mediterranean style and is a wonderful place with classical and tasteful décor. Weddings are usually held in the garden which boasts a stunning view over the sea. We love that place for its secluded atmosphere and relaxing atmosphere. I really liked it because I look like a fairy who will get married in that place. Include the mountain that can be seen in that place.
“Wow, you two have the best choice, villa eve is the most popular place here in italy where many want to get married in that place too, I can’t wait to see my soon to be daughter in law wearing the gown she can choose .” Auntie said with a smile.
“Of course mom, I’ll make sure she’s just the most beautiful bride I’ll see on the very day of our wedding.” Cleopard replied and turned to look at me as if imagining that I was wearing the gown, because I could see that in his eyes I was just shaken because it looked like for him I was the only woman he could see.
“By the way, aren’t you going to Kristen house? To choose a gown that you like?” Auntie asked so I nodded before answering.
“Yes aunt, after we eat we will go there.” I answer before wiping my mouth with the table napkin and drinking the juice. Kristen stormwell is one of the best gown designers here in italy even though there are many gown designers, I still like nicole and last night we set an appointment with her and this is the day.
“When you’re done eating you can dress up well and leave. It’s a waste of time. I want to make the marriage of the two of you easier.” Auntie said happily so cleopard and I stood up.
“Bea will come with me, we will both go shoping and I will take care of what we will wear for your wedding.” Auntie said next so I just nodded to her and we went out of cleopard’s kitchen together. As we walked out the cleopard suddenly asked.
“Are you okay?” He said so I nodded, I didn’t realize that I wasn’t on my own mind, as if I wasn’t happy but I was forcing myself to be happy in front of him.
“Of course I am.” I replied with a smile but my vision was on the stairs because we were close to the top. I knew to say that the fun didn’t reach my eyes so I couldn’t look at him. We reached the top so I went to my own room here in their mansion and ignored him because I was just guilty I knew he was confused but when I reached my room I immediately closed the door and slid back. of the door before putting my face on my two knees, I’ll admit I’m having a hard time with my situation I don’t know what’s going through my mind, something enters my mind to step back and go away again and I don’t know everything that bothers me but the other I think I don’t want to agree because I’ll think again that I’m going to hurt Cleopard again so I’m a mess I can’t do anything but agree with the flow of destiny for me.
I stood up and removed all the negative thoughts that were entering my brain, I had to fix it because maybe cleopard was done so I went to Cr and took a shower, I didn’t spend much time in cr and went out as well. When I came out of the closet, I immediately went to the walk in closet and took the brown off shoulder dress, I just wore a tube bra and underwear before wearing the dress, my whiteness and my collar bone were very obvious, I did not dried my hair and combed it with straightly before going to the mirror and took a lip gloss because my lips are already red so I don’t need any more red lipstick.
I also powdered before looking at my wealth in the mirror. I was simply wearing it and I was also wearing flat shoes and took the shoulder bag that was hanging on the wall before putting my cellphone there and walked to the door to open it. When I opened the door, I almost started shouting because cleopard was in front of the door while his hands was in his pocket.
“What are you doing there? I’m almost have an heart attack” I said angrily to him.
“Hey, sorry it’s just a coincidence okay, I just arrived and was supposed to open the door of your room but just go ahead of me.” He said and raised his hand as if surrendering.
“Fine, let’s go.” I answered him and that when I first started walking, he kept me walking until we reached the living room of the house, we didn’t have to reach the living room so we went out the main door and went to the garage. When we arrived at the garage, he immediately asked me to open the door to enter his car. I didn’t complain to get in before fastening the seatbelt.
When he got on he immediately drove, while he was driving I immediately opened the window of his car and looked out the window, I could see the beautiful scenery especially the flower shops we passed, it was beautiful in Italy, their place is so beautiful, the breeze is so beautiful, I didn’t realize that he was suddenly playing the song “The One That Got Away by katy perry.” I don’t know what to think while listening to the song because that fits my own situation right now.
When I heard the line “In another life, I would be your girl.” I refrained from crying because I didn’t want cleopard to see me again crying over the man I thought was destined for me. That line in the song hit me, I am not the woman destined for him and maybe in another life I will be his girl again, I can say we become lovers at the wrong time and I found a man who will be my man until the end of my life the difference is I’m learning to love that person and that’s cleopard.
I don’t even know if Eliot is looking for me when I suddenly disappear for the second time, Or maybe my departure is in his favor because Iris doesn’t want to mess with the life of the woman he chose in the end, so shake it. It was just in my mind before secretly wiping the tears that dripped from my eyes.
I leaned my head against the window and I just felt cleopard take one of my hands before he folded our hands I didn’t look at him anymore because I knew he would notice me crying again.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Hey, wife do you enjoy the things you’ve been seeing at outside the window? do you want us to take a walk first before going to Ms. Kristen? Ms. Kristen can wait for that. Just tell me I’m ready to take you on a tour of Italy as long as you want. “He said and I just felt him kiss my hand, so I looked at him with a smile.
I saw him kissing the back of my hand. I as he folded it in his hand and his sight was just on the road while one of his hands was holding the steering wheel while driving.
“No, it’s okay, let’s just go to Ms. Kristen’s after that and take a walk so that even if we go home at night, there’s no problem.” I said so he glanced at me before looking back at the road with a smile.
“If that’s what you want, go ahead.” He answered so I just looked back out of the car exactly I saw a very nice sea because we passed on a bridge road with the sea at the bottom, I can see how the birds fly in the middle until it passes that we are on that road as it looks like we are close to our destination the house of Ms. Kristen.
