ASHLY POV
"Hey Maeve.." I said to get her attention She's been in daze for this past 2 days "Faye is asking you what kind of wedding do you want?"
She look at me then look at Faye "Oh sorry, How about beach wedding? Maybe somewhere in palawan."

"Palawan then. I will book later. Hmm, let me see. The wedding vendors/catering ✓, photographer ✓, baptismal and confirmation certificates--you did it yesterday right?"
She nodded
"Good. Proceed. Your groom's parents already gave the lists of the guests, how about you?"
"Here it is." Maeve pass the small paper to her "I only want to invite close relatives and friends so we should expect atleast 50-100 guests."
"Okay then I will prepare 110 seats. Then here is the reception menu, take a look if you want to add or remove somethin-"
"No its okay. Anything else?" Maeve said tiredly

"Honeymoon plans."
"You decide."
I stood up when she was about to go "What's wrong?"
"I am just tired. Let me rest for a while."

I nodded and smile then went back to the couch. I look Faye who was looking at her laptop "Sorry, she's just tired from her work."
"Its okay. Look at this." She said and gave me the laptop based on the pictures I could righty says its for the wedding venue.
"Its in The Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Mr. Bautista recommends it to me and my friend, who was a wedding coordinator, also happen to know the owner."
I smiles "That's great."
"Maybe next month the wedding will be held. We will just do the the wedding dress fitting and dresses for you and the bridesmaid will arrive 3 weeks before the wedding. Now, all we have to do is to held the bachelorette and bridal shower party. Its good to throw the bridal shower and bachelorette party at the same day for the sake of convenience."
"Yeah I was also thinking the same. That way, guests can carve out one full day for festivities, and out-of-towners won't need to make two separate trips which can be a costly and tedious endeavor." I said "Maeve and I already have talk about this thing so we will hold the bridal shower at her fave restaurant and just brings gifts around 12 noon. Then at evening we will held the Bachelorette party, what do you think?"
"Its good idea too to held both of the bachelorette party and Stag party to be held at the same day and hours, which is evening."
I nodded.
"Does she already selected bridesmaids?" Faye ask while looking at me
"I guess yeah. Maris and her 5 other cousins."
"That's perfect. We already talked about what dresses should the bride want for her bridesmaids, we should ask them, the bridesmaid, if they are free this coming thursday so that we could fit the dresses that day."
"Leave it to me."
"SO WE ARE ALREADY DONE WITH THE measurements,,ecctt and the dresses will be delivered 2 weeks later blah blah blah.." Faye said while instructioning with the bridesmaid
"So how's Maeve? Is she okay now?" I whispered Kaiden who was next to me.
Maeve said to me earlier that she felt sick and wants to go home so I let Kaiden bring her home. She already choses the wedding gown she wants and has been measured already.
"Yeah she's feeling better. Why did she always felt dizzy?"
I hit his head "You dumb! Ofcourse she's lack of sleep because of her operations, should I put you to the operation room so you should know? Let her sleep for a while." I said and approach Faye who was saying goodbye to the bridesmaid. The groomsmen and Quintin already left earlier "Does receving the wedding gown and suit will the same as those dresses of the bridesmaid?"
"The suit is much more easier so its deliver on the same day as those dresses but the wedding gown is much more complicated so, 3 weeks before receiving."
"Oh. Is there's nothing else?"
"The bridesmaid has already been measured, The best man has already been measured, the groomsmen has already been measured, you has already been measured, the bride and groom has already been measured so I guess its already done." She said and get her bag on the couch "Then we should get going."
"Where do you want to go next? I will offer you a ride."
She smile "No No. I still have something to do plus I already book a taxi. Thanks."
Then we went out from the boutique together "You sure?"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
After we eat dinner, I was on my room
"Ash?"
It was Maeve. I look at her, she's in the door "What?"
"Can I sleep at Kaiden's place tonight? Just tonight pleaseee"
"Yeah sure but behave. Understood?" I said
She smiled and saluted me "Aye Aye Captain."
Maeve is in my condo so she's my responsibility and her parents trusts me so I won't let them down.
I shook my head as she close my bedroom's door "She's a lovebird."
I get my phone on the side-table to call my manager
"Hi Manager" I said as I she pick up "do I have activities this month and next month?"
"Yes. Recording for your new single."
"That's it? Does the date already decided?"
"Not yet, do you have any dates in mind?"
"Hmmm.." I look at the calendar, I was planning to held the parties in the end of the month which is 30 "Maybe this weekend?"
"Wait let me see you sched on weekends hmmm you have clear sched to we could do the recording. Let me call Gabbi for the confirmations."
"Okay." I said "By the way you can come to the wedding too. It on 27th next month."
"I would love to but works doesn't allow me."
I giggle "If you continue that habit I am sure you will grow old alone."
She laugh.
"Gotta hung up now." I said and ended the call. I put my cellphone back to the side table then I closes my eyes and sleep. I don't even know if it was a dream or what when I saw Maeve going back to my room and lying beside me, crying.
Then the saturday came. I just wear comfortable croptop and a jagger. I tapped the top the mic to know if its on.
"Let's practice first okay, Ash?"
I did the okay sign. He counted his finger down 3-1 when counting ends, I started singing.
♫︎♫︎
♫︎♫︎♫︎
♫︎♫︎♫︎♫︎
"Fly hig--" But when I was about to sing the chorus part, Gabbi turn the music off
"Ashly, there's no emotions at all. What's the matter with you?"
"I'm sorry Gabbi. Can I sing again?"
"What's wrong with you? You look like walking dead." Gabbi said
"I'm just lack of sleep, Gabbi. Can I take a break for a few minute? I will just go to the restroom."
"Okay. Let's take a break."
I grabbed my bag and quikly went out from the studio, went straight to the restroom. I look my self at the mirror 'What's wrong with you bitch!?'
I felt really low-spirit today. I don't know what's wrong with my self! Maeve is busy in the hospital while Kaiden is busy with the other things which is I don't know.
"Look he's that fiancee of Ms. Ashly's friend."
"He's so handsome."
"Yeah. If he is not engaged, I would definately flirt him."
After hearing the gossips of the girls outside. I take a peek outside. Then I felt like the time has stopped and no other persons around, no one else-WAIT! Before he could say a word I quikly went inside the restroom and lock the restroom door.
I even heard him knocking outside.
'Fvck Ashly! There's something wrong with your fvcking head! Time stop!? huh! Its only for those cheesy fvcking people who's inlo--!!'
I suddenly realize what I was talking 'I-inlove?'
I fakely laugh "How would I be inlove with hi--" I stop laughing and look clearly at my reflextion on the mirror "A-am I really i-inlove..? Huh, Impossible! Hshshsshs!" I wash my face with the water then wipe it with the clean towel. Then I take out the baby powder and lip tint.
My skin color is naturally white so I don't have to use makeup powders so baby powders are okay and my lips is rose pink already so a little liptint will be perfect.
I also made my hair loose. I look back at the mirror before I went to the door to open it.
"What's wrong with you?" He said, look worried. Looking at his face like that makes my heart bounc--Stop that Ashly!
"What?"
He look at my back, knowing it was a one cubicle comfortroom.
"What's wrong with you, fvck."
I went back to the studio and he was just tailing me.
"Should we start now again Ashly?" Gabbi said when I entered the recording room
"Yeah. Let's start." I said
"Are you okay now?"
I smiled "Yeah."
Then again, he started counting 3-1 after that I started singing

♫︎♫︎
♫︎♫︎♫︎
♫︎'Fly high~
Fly me to the moon
Oh~
'Let me play with the stars
Hold my hand
And baby kiss me
♫︎
♫︎♫︎
♫︎♫︎♫︎
♫︎Fly High~
Fly me to the moon
Fill my heart with lovesongs
I will hold your hand forevermore
♫︎
♫︎♫︎
♫︎♫︎♫︎
♫︎Let me play with the stars
Tonight~
I lay down and put the novels I bought in front of me earlier after the recording.
After reading the epilogue of the 4th novel, I yawn. I just finish the 4 novel in a row!
I can say is its all good but I like the most is 'Crush'. This book tells the story about the bestfriend's friend and boyfriend. The girl genuinely like the bestfriend's boyfriend but she just hides it as best as she can cause she doesn't want to ruin their friendship. Its a good one, I can relate to this one.
Then I grabbed my laptop
"Oh, its already 8 pm? So fast!? I spent 5 hours reading novels? My god. No no. I have to take my dinner!"
I went out from my condo and goes straight to Kaiden's condo
I shouted ask "Do you still have dinners there?"
He went out from he's room with wet hair and wearing white robe "You haven't eat your dinner yet?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Let me just cook for you."
He headed to the kitchen while I am following him.
He's started cooking and I am just sitting at the seat in front of the kitchen counter, staring at him
'Stop it eyes! Stop staring at him!'
'Fvck, how could he be this handsome!?'
"Done staring at me?"
I cough "I-i..I am not staring at you! I-i am staring at the dish your cooking. Hurry up, I am hungry."
"It will be done soon."
His attention returned to cooking. I really can't help but stare at him, my eyes are like an iron bar and he is like he's the magnet that magnetizes my sight.
"Its done." He said and put the dish he cook in the table.
I get the rice bowl and put some in my plate.
"What on earth did you just do which makes you forgot about your dinner?"
I just shock my head while chewing
"Don't forget eating breakfast, lunch and dinner! Your work is important but your health and body is the most importan--"
I directly feed him the spoon with rice to shut his mouth up.
I laugh at his reaction after he almost threw it up. A grain of rice came out of his nose, I laughed even more.
Then he just laughed because of my loud and funny laugh.
"HEY, HEY KAIDEN!" I called Kaiden when I saw him come out of his condo the next morning "Come in, I'll show you something!"
"What is it?"
I let him in and brought him into the kitchen "Faster!"
After I reach the kitchen counter. He sits in the chair in front of it and I immediately opened the lunch box that was on top of the counter.
"Tan tan tandarandan.."
"Woah that's aesthetic one!"
I smiled "Fried Egg, 2 slice breads one with mayo and the other one with meat, lettuce, cheese, and tomato, and cut apples on a stick for side dishes. Plus..." I went to ref to get a bottle of water and a yogurt "this."
He smile confusely "What's going on?"
I close the lunch box again "Nothing. I just want to prepare foods for your lunch. You always take care of me so I prepared a little something in return."
"Its a rare occasion that I could get a prepare lunch from you."
I frowned "I am not only capable of preparing lunch but I also know how to cook!" and smile shyly "a little hehe. I know how to cook a little."
He slightly laugh and shook his head
At twelve noon, while I am eating, my cellphone rang. Its a message is from Kaiden.
'Its good, congrats. I wish you will prepare more lunch for me in the future. I like it'
"He likes it?" As if I was having butterflies in my stomach
'Is this the feeling of being praised by someone you like? Omoo'
I admit, I like him. Liking him doesn't meant that I will flirt him and snatch him from my bestfriend and wanting him to be mine but instead for me liking him is the great thing, I am contented having him as my friend, seeing him everyday and staying near him. I can live not telling him that I like him righ? I want him to be together with my bestfriend, although its a little bit pain my chest.
