Let's Play a Game (1)

XXIV - Dress

Vincent

When I get to my office there's already a pile of paperwork stacked ontop of my desk, organized in stacks. "What the hell? Patricia, what the hell is all this?!" I yell and she comes running.

"A lot of new clients overnight, sir. Guess everyone got something new to work on and came in to give it to you and it got stacked up..." she inches toward the door nervously.

I sigh and run my hand down my face. "Fine, get some coffee going and let everyone know I'll be late for the meeting this morning."

She nods and runs away quickly. I sit down behind the stacks and pick something at random. Not only do I have a lot of paperwork, but my phone has been ringing off the hook today. Work and Victoria. Jessica gave her my number and I don't think she's put her phone down, waiting for me to respond. Boy is she annoying, I wish Jess was here to help.

My phone starts to ring for the millionth time, a call from one of the cooks. That's strange. "Hello."

"Mr. Armani, right after you left a bunch of people came to visit. Your family and Jessica's. She asked me to contact you, she said something about wedding planning."

"Wedding planning? Whose wedding?"

The phone goes silent as the cook tries to think of an answer. "I think yours..." I can hear her holding her breath as she waits for me to respond. Maybe that was a stupid question.

"Ok...I'll be home as soon as I can." I hang up and set my phone down before I have the urge to throw it. This isn't suppose to be happening. Wedding planning?

Jess and I are actually getting married.

The elevator dings and the entire apartment is dark. "Dammit." I pull my suit jacket off and rip my tie off. I head for the stairs when I see a light in the back hallway. I see Rose first then the pile of dresses that Jess in probably the ugliest wedding dress I've ever seen. At the angle I'm at, niether if them can see me.

Jess lets out a deep laugh and shakes her head. "They're all so hideous Rose! I hate them all!" She pauses and shakes her head. Rose comes up behind her and unzips it. "Maybe I should just wear a bra and panties down the aisle." I can't help but let my eyes drift from her neck to the small of her back to her ass as I chuckle.

"So which dress haven't I tried on yet?" I ask Rose and turn around. My breath hitches in my throat and I can't seem to move. "Vincent." I feel his eyes move up my legs, past my hips and to my chest. His eyes meet mine and I'm wondering why I haven't covered myself up yet. I close my silk robe around myself tightly, not really hiding my figure.

Rose rolls her eyes and gets up to close the door. "You're not suppose to see the dress before the wedding Vince. Plus this is obviously the first time you've seen her almost naked and you're making her feel uncomfortable."

He just smiles and laughs. "Yes because this is a traditional wedding. And she's not completely naked!" He pushes past her and she closes the door behind him.

As Vincent starts to walk towards me this is all starting to feel a little too real. It was all fun and games trying on dresses but these aren't just dresses. They're wedding dresses and I'm getting married.

"Sorry I'm so late but I had a few new clients come in last minute. And they all knew your uncle, but are we surprised?" He takes my hand and kisses it. "So how many more dresses do you have to try on?"
