《Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE》Chapter 25
Advertisement
Fortunately, the day had no more surprises for us. Becca and I spent the entire day working on assignments that we had missed during our stay in London.
We just left her place for grabbing dinner as we were really tired working continuously for 8 hours straight with short breaks in between for munching on something or a cup of coffee. The next week was the best week I ever experienced.
After school hours we all used to go out for buying outfits for the engagement party that we were heading out on the next week. The girls almost took 3 days to finalise dresses for them.
We literally went to every designer shop in town and all the brand shops in malls but nothing satisfied them. At last Rebekah found her 'wanted' dress on some random site on the internet and April decided to wear the dress that her mother gifted her last Christmas.
Talia settled on one of Rebekah's dresses that she never really wore as she despised the colour. Rey and April had moved in to their new place which was smaller than what I expected but they had decorated it enough to make it feel like 'HOME'.
Semesters were nearing and so the pressure was quite depressing. We literally studied for hours and hours to make up for the time that we were going to miss during next week.
My relationship with Rebekah was also going pretty well. We spend most of the day together at her place or in my room.
Alan and Stella's engagement had brought me to a stage where I was thinking about my future with Becca. But it was too soon I explained myself.
The entire week passed in a blink as we were so packed with our busy schedules.
We finally reached Santorini after an 18 hrs. flight. We were all too tired to even eat anything after we landed in Santorini.
"Why did they want to keep their party at a place which is so fucking far from Seattle? My neck is crooked and my back pains as if someone has broken my spinal cord. Fuck Alan and Stella for being such romantic idiots to throw an engagement party at this gorgeous place but so far from home", Rebekah groaned while massaging her neck. We were on our way to the hotel.
I chuckled looking at how devastated her appearance looked as if she was out from a fight. Her hair were all over her face and she was wearing a tank top with black sweatpants below that were creased due to the long journey.
We had arrived a day early for the party. As soon as we reached the hotel room, we literally just dozed off without even changing our clothes.
I could hear a faint doorbell and I groaned internally when it didn't stop. "It must be the room service", I said in between my sleep.
I took hold of the pillow lying on my side and rested it on my ear to stop the noise from hurting my fairy sleep. "Rex, please go and open the door", I said loudly before pressing the pillow harder on my ear.

I heard him cursing under his breath before he got up from the bed and went towards the door. I then heard Rey's voice and it got clearer as he entered the room.
"Get up sleepyhead", he said while shaking me vigorously. "I swear I will kill you Rey. Get the fuck out and go to sleep", I said while I kicked him at what I supposed was his shin.
"Ouch Becca!", he said while rubbing his shin. I looked at him while sitting on the bed and a smile crept on my face.
"You have slept for more than 12 hrs. We have a party to attend today and don't you'll want to meet the couple?", he said while folding his hands. Rex lay on the bed next to me while his eyes were still open.
"Where is April?", I asked Rey while rubbing my eyes. "She is taking a shower. She told me to see if you guys have woken up. I was fucking banging on the door from the past 15 mins and I am sure I have wakened the entire hotel except for you two people who were still sleeping their asses off."
"Wait for us in the lobby. We will be there in 20 minutes", I said while pushing Rey out of the room. I heard him saying how rude it is of me to kick him out after I closed the door.
I chuckled a bit before lying on the bed next to Rex. "I love you", I whispered in his ear before laying my head on his chest.
"I love you too Becs", he said while he kissed me on my head.
"I am so fucking hungry", Talia whimpered while she circled her hand around her stomach. "Just 10 mins more, Tal. We are almost there", Austin said while he looked at the Google map in his cell phone.
"Girls have you taken all that you need for the evening?", Rey asked while he looked at all three of us. "Yes...I guess", I said while looking at the bags in front of us.
We reached Alan's penthouse in the next 10 mins. The house was filled with people, some of them were the decorators and some were family whom we already knew.
We went upstairs and knocked on the one room that was slightly open. "Come in", a voice came from the inside.
"It's her room", April whispered before she swung the door open. Stella literally screamed as soon as she saw us standing on the door.
"OMG...you'll seriously came. I missed you guys so much. I am so freaking nervous", she said while running towards us. We group hugged her and her rant was broken when Austin asked her, "Where is the groom?"
Stella laughed at his choice of words and said, "He is out on the beach with his cousins. They are playing volleyball." "Volleyball sounds like fun", Austin said while pulling his lip ring in between his teeth.
"Boys you'll coming?", he asked. As soon as the guys left Stella pulled us in the room and locked the door behind us.

She hugged us again excitedly before saying, "I am so happy that it all seems like a dream. I always knew that I will marry Alan one day but now when it's seriously happening it all still feels unreal." "But isn't it too early for you guys to get married?", Talia said while popping a cherry in her mouth.
"We aren't getting married until high school ends. Alan just wanted us to get engaged as he wanted us to get official and I was fine with it", Stella said while looking at us nervously. "I am sure this is the best decision of your life. You won't regret it because you guys are perfect for each other", I said while I held her hands and gave them a light squeeze.
"By the way is the party here in your penthouse?", April asked while she drizzled maple syrup over the pancakes in her plate. "No not completely. The party will be out on the beach but the buffet will be set here in the house", Stella said while she went to the other side of the bed.
"Here", she said while giving me the small box. "It is so pretty Stella", I complimented while looking at the diamond ring in front of me.
The diamond was big enough and it shined brightly as the sunlight made its way through the window.
It was almost 4:00 when Stella called me in her room as she needed some help with her makeup and hair. I knocked on the door and waited impatiently for her to answer.
As soon as she opened the door, my eyes fell on the gown she was wearing. She chose a white coloured gown which complimented her fair skin tone.
The gown had tiny floral, paisley printed pattern throughout in a flared silhouette. The alluring mini length gave a modern and cute style.
"You look so gorgeous. If I were a lesbian I would have kissed you by now", I said while entering the room, my eyes still not leaving her outfit. She chuckled loudly before saying, "Alan chose it for me and now I am confused if I should put my hair in a bun or keep it down by pinning a brooch on the side. I am still left with my makeup and it's already 4:00. The party's going to start at 6:00 and I will be late at my own damn event."
"Hey, hey, hey. It's alright. We have enough time and I am here to help you out with everything. And as far as your hair is concerned I think you should keep it down and there is no need for a brooch also. I will curl them into waves and your auburn hair will look absolutely perfect then", I said while plugging the curling machine in the nearest switch. It was almost 5:00 by the time I was done with her hair and makeup.
She looked so breath takingly gorgeous in that gown and her pretty face added so much more to the beauty she was. I took some photos of her before she pushed me out of her room saying that I needed to get ready as she will kick my ass if I am late to her party.
As soon as I entered our room, Rex was laying on the bed rummaging through the channels on T.V. "Hey! Where were you?", he said while getting up from the bed and coming towards me.
"I was in Stella's room. She needed some help with her makeup and hair. But why the hell are you not yet ready?", I asked him while putting my arms around his neck.
He leaned forward and kissed me on the tip of my nose before saying, "I was waiting for you. Should I wear a black shirt or a white one along with my black blazer?" "White it is!", I said while passing through him to get changed.
Five minutes later when I came back from the changing room he was still lazily laying on the bed looking at the ceiling. "You will get us late", I whined while throwing one of my shoes at him but he was quick enough to catch it.
She was standing there looking at me angrily not knowing what effect she had on me. She looked like a Greek goddess in that burgundy dress.
It had spaghetti straps with a sequin V neck and it was backless. It perfectly showcased her long shiny leg through that leg split.
I swear my heart skipped a beat when I saw her in that dress. She removed the rubber band tying her blonde hair together and ran her fingers through her hair in search for any knots.
I looked at her dreamily as she curled her hair into perfect waves and then took some strands from the front and braided them just to pin them up at the sides. She then put on her plump red heels and walked along the room as if she was a model who was walking down the runaway.
The dress fit her perfectly at all the right curves and it was then that I noticed what a perfect figure she had. She then dramatically coated her eyelashes with mascara and blinked them a several times before winking at herself in the mirror.
I smiled seeing her drama and how sexy she looked at that point of time. She dabbed some concealer on her already perfect skin and I felt that it was completely useless to try to hide some natural beauty by that powder.
She then took a red lipstick and while pouting in the mirror she carefully applied it to make her already plump lips look delicious. Being done with her makeup, she took two pairs of earrings and looked at them confusingly holding them close to her ears.
"The right one", I said while passing her a big smile. "Are you stalking me?", she asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Stalking someone who is rightfully mine", I said before winking at her. She blushed a little before putting on her white diamond earrings and I swear seeing her like that made me fall in love with her all over again.
