Chapter 31

The cafe had been really busy, thanks to the guys. We waited for the three girls to come in, who knew how they were going to react.

Me and Em were restocking the trays with the buns we'd just cooked, the aroma of cakes flooded the room. The door went, in walked our three regular customers 'can we please have 3 lattes and 3 large choc chip mu...OMG!!!!' The other girls looked at her gone out 'when?!' 'This morning' I beamed. 'Can I look?' I held out my hand and she took it studying the ring which was sat on my finger 'it's gorgeous!! Please tell us how he did it!!' I got there usual order and brought it over to them and sat down I began to tell them, getting interrupted every few seconds 'a puppy!?' 'Another puppy!?' I nodded and carried on. When I reached to the end the door went again, my fiancé...yes I've been wanting to say that for SO long. I stood up and went behind the counter.

'Hey Hun' I smiled he smiled back, everyone had gone quiet listening to what we had to say, one of the girls broke the silence 'CONGRATSSS!!!!!' She squealed, the rest of the girls clapped 'thank you' he laughed turning back to me 'hey erm ill have the normal' he smiled 'and we've been..' The door went again, the older lady who came in the past few days came to the counter, whip stepped aside and let her order, she was a few bits short again I took it out of my pocket and whispered in her ear 'you're short but I've got it, being as you're my favourite' she giggled quietly 'thank you' she walked off with her order and found a table. 'You're going to go out of business if you keep taking the wrong change' he winked 'yeah but I'm putting the rest in' he nodded 'anyway...thought I was your favourite' he smirked 'you are' leaning in and kissing him. 'By the way....we have an engagement party' 'whoa what? You've organised a party!?' He shook his head 'no...the lads have' ohhhh god there could be anything there...strippers, clubbing uh oh....'ah' I said 'yeah that's what I said but they assured me its a lovely little thing on the beach.' He tried to give a reassuring smile 'right okay....when is it?' 'Tomorrow night' 'tomorrow night!?' Just then Em jumped in 'when's the wedding set for?' I was about to say no idea when whip jumped in '4 months' WHAT!?I turned to look at him '4 months?' I questioned 'my mum....she has the "perfect" place to hold it and the only time they're free is in 4 months...' 'Your MUM has the perfect place?' I tried not to sound annoyed...'will you just look at the venue?' I nodded, he got out his phone and showed me a few pictures....

The place was gorgeous, It was called The Swiss Grand Resort, 'what do you think?' 'Its lovely...it's really nice..' 'But?' 'Shall we talk when we get home?' I'd realised everyone was listening. 'Yeah' he smiled he kissed me and went back to work as did I.

That rest of the day went pretty quickly, I decided to research this hotel and fair enough it did look gorgeous and we could have wedding photos on the beach....but what I really wanted...was a beach wedding. On the way home I bought some dog food.

As I walked in whip was already home, 'hey you're early!' 'Its 7.30pm....' Wow did I spend that much time in the shop!?, I may have got slightly distracted by the wedding mags..didn't think for that long but still...'sorry I'm late' he stood up putting the dog down 'hey, hey!' He grabbed me 'if it makes you feel better...I don't like the place she's chosen' I looked up at him tears eyed....why was I so god damn emotional!? 'I know it isn't the most amazing place...but what about the icebergs?' 'What about your mum' 'I can handle my mum, I just want us to be happy' he smiled 'wedding photos on the beach maybe...' I smiled hugging him 'get some of the lads to get involved' 'that'd be amazing' he lifted up my head and gently kissed me, I smiled walking up the stairs, him following me.

He picked me up and threw me on the bed, kissing me he took of his shirt when something jumped on the bed, we broke away and turned, the black lab sat there, watching us 'go! Off now' whip said waving his hand at it, it still sat there 'come on pooch now', he got up ushered him off the bed, and closed the door, he climbed back on top resting on his elbows... 'Are they going to be okay?' 'Uh huh ' he started kissing my neck, 'they're very quiet' he lifted up 'I'm sure they'll be fine' he smiled and carried on kissing my neck.

We laid in bed, looking at the ceiling 'maybe we can kept your mums date' I turned to look at him 'not too soon?' I shook my head 'nahhh'. We then heard scratching at the door 'best let them in...' Whip got up and opened the door, they jumped on the bed and laid down wagging their tails. 'Oi!' He paused 'get your own bed!' He said trying to climb in, they weren't budging. He managed to climb in pull up the duvet, the dogs budged over a little, this bed was not made for four!

My eyes began to get very heavy, closing slowly, whip was stroking my arm, getting slower and slower as he drifted into a sleep, I soon joined him.
