Forever (Book 3) [l. hemmings]

Chapter 5

Victoria's P.O.V.

It's been two weeks and we've basically now finished planning. We've been pretty lucky with how smooth things went, it took us a little while, but we're finally here. 

Oh, and most of my mums stuff has been moved out by now, but she's been around all day.

I'm sitting around the table with Brooke, Melissa and Jess, with Zoe on her lap while the guys are over on the sofas.

"Vic you've been saying you're almost ready for this wedding but you're missing one of the most important parts." Jess says.

Melissa chuckles as Jess rolls her eyes.

"You don't even have a dress yet." Jess states.

"Oh my god!" I yell.

I startle the guys making them all look over to me.

"What the fuck?" Ashton says.

"Mum!" I shout running upstairs.

"What? What happened?" She asks.

"A dress. I need- I need a dress." I panic.

"Vic, relax. We have a consultation tomorrow, remember?" She tells me.

I take a deep breath, "Thank god."

"Now you better see who's going to come with us." She smiles.

When I get downstairs they're all staring at me.

"Can I help you?" I question.

"What was that all about?" Michael asks.

"Just throughout planing I haven't gone to get a dress yet and there's just over a month until the wedding." I reply. "So tomorrow I'm going."

"I'm coming with you!" Jess shouts.

"I wanna come!" Ashton adds.

"Ashton.. We're going shopping.. For a wedding dress." I slowly say.

"And?" He questions.

I chuckle, "Alright then. It'll be nice to have your opinion."

"Michael's gonna come too." Ashton replies.

Michael gives Ashton a look, "Hold on a second-"

"Michael you should go." Melissa smiles.

He sighs, "Fine."

Melissa's smile turns into a smirk.

She totally has Michael wrapped around her finger.

I sit back at the table and look over to Brooke and Melissa.

"Do you guys want to come?" I ask.

"I'd love to but I'm leaving town tonight for the weekend." Melissa sighs. "Michael's gonna take my place."

I chuckle and look to Brooke.

She frowns, "I'm working all day tomorrow."

"So it's just Jess, Michael and Ashton then." I conclude.

Michael tries to speak, "But-"

"Michael.." Melissa sing-songs.

He sighs, "Yea, yea I'm going."

"I'm excited." I smile.

"What kind of dress do you want?" Brooke asks.

"I have no idea. I'm going to be totally lost tomorrow." I laugh.
