Being in the hospital for seven weeks was very boring. It was mainly physical therapy to get me back to walking.

Armani visited every day along with Bella and they would discuss wedding plans with me.

I would just nod my head or shake it at the stuff that I did and didn't like.

I finally got released Saturday and now I was dress shopping with Bella and Elena, who's stomach has defiantly grown since I was gone.

"So what color do you want Elena and I to wear?" Bella asked as we scanned the racks.

"Yellow, It'll go lovely with the sunflowers" I said.

Elena waddled behind us. "Hopefully I'll be able to fit the dress by then."

"I'm sure you will its only next week." Bella said.

Hearing her say that made the whole thing more surreal. Armani had pushed the wedding back to give me time to recover but he didn't push it back far enough for me to even grasp the idea that I was getting married to someone I barley knew.

"I want a mermaid dress." I said to Bella to distract myself from all of my thoughts.

"Ooou a mermaid dress would look lovely on you especially with your curves." Elena said.

I giggled "Oh please, curves? This is just fatness."

"Well if that's the case give me some." Bella said and we busted out into laughter.


A woman who worked at the place rounded the corner and looked at us "Can I help you girls with anything."

"Yes, she is looking for a wedding dress she would like it to be mermaid style and as for the two of us we're looking for yellow bridesmaids dresses." Bella explained.


"Right this way then." the lady said and we followed her to the back.

Elena, Bella, and I took a while to decide on the bridesmaids dress but we decide on the one that we felt look the best on both of them and then we focused on my wedding dress.


"Stop being so picky.' Bella said as she shoved me the seventh dress that I would be trying on.


"I'm allowed to be picky it's a wedding I didn't even ask for I at least want to look good." I said before closing the curtain and putting the dress on.

"Hurry up!" Elena said.

I rolled my eyes, "Don't you dare rush me." I snapped.

I took my time to annoy them further before finally stepping out of the changing room.

Both of their mouths dropped open and they gasped.

"What?" I asked before turning to the mirror.

I looked in the mirror in complete shock. The dress was absolutely beautifully that it brought me to tears.

"That's the one.' Bella said.

I nodded in agreement "T-this is the one." I said through the tears.

I couldn't help but think of how my mom would of reacted if she saw me in this dress which made me cry even more. I was so sad that my own parents won't be seeing me getting married despite the fact that I don't want to it would still be nice to just have them there.

"Aw don't cry you'll get your make up on the dress." Bella said as she rushed over to hug me and I hugged her back.

"I know, It's just so beautiful." I mummured.

Elena came over and hugged me. "You're going to make a beautiful bride. Armani is one lucky guy." she whispered.

I wiped away my tears and smiled. "Well we should go check out then."

They nodded in agreement and helped me out of the dress before we headed to the chasier to check out.

The lady ran all three dressed up and then looked at me. "Ma'am these are very expensive." She said as she looked me up and down.

"Okay?" I said and handed her the card that Armani had given me to pay for the dresses.

"Are you sure you can afford these?"She said.

Bella lost her patients "Just swipe the damn card already!" She snapped.

The lady rolled her eyes before swiping the card while doing so I guess she caught a glimpse of the name on the card because her face grew ver pale as she handed it back to me.

"I'm sorry for that...I didn't know-"

"Didn't know what? That I'm Mr.Ricci soon to be wife?" I challenged. "Please give us our dresses we would like to leave now."

The lady hurried to hand us our stuff before apologizing again.

Some people were just so rude.

After we had finished dress shopping Elena, Bella, and I went out to eat before Bella dropped Elena and I back at the mansion.

"I'm exhausted." Elena said as she flopped on the couch.

"Me too." I said as I sat beside her. Just as I was about to call out for Armani I heard clicks and turned to see a girl walking down the stairs.

I recognized her as Kassie, the girl from Armani's work. What the hell was she doing here?

She spotted me on the couch and the expression on her face shifted.

I stood up and crossed my arms. "I'm sorry, but what are you doing in my house?"

She scoffed. "This is Mr.Ricci house."

"Yes, Mr.Ricci, my fiancé."

Kassie looked down at my finger which held the huge ring that Armani had given me just a few days ago.

Her face turned a bright red and before she could say anything Armani and Leo walked into the living room.

Leo looked between Kassie and I before laughing and patting Armani on the back. "Have fun." He said as he joined Elena on the couch.

"What is she doing here?" I asked Armani.

He rubbed the back of his head. "Don't worry amore, we just going over a few things since I wont be going back to work for three weeks due to our wedding and the honey moon."

"Three weeks? That is awfully long sir." Kassie said as she turned to him.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I have a lot of stuff planned for us." He looked over at me.

I couldn't help but smile at the reaction of Kassie's face.

I walked over to Armani and placed my hand on his shoulder. "I think you should leave. You're not needed anymore." I said to Kassie.

She turned to Armani, wanting him to say something but he just stared back at her before motioning towards the door.

Kassie sighed angrily before stomping out.

"I like when you get jealous." Armani said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'm not jealous and where are you taking me for our "honey moon" I said.

"Oh its a surprise amore but I guarantee you'll love it. Beside it'll just be me and you."

The thought of being alone with Armani made me feel excited in more ways than one but I still unwrapped his hands from my waist and turned to head to the stairs.

He was going to have to work a lot harder than that.
