"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares."

"Your aunt is going to be a bride soon," Valerie said to Vivianna as we sat on the sofa. Vivi looked at her momma with wide eyes as I laughed softly.

"Ask her if you are going to be the flower girl or not," Valerie says showing Vivi to me.

"Of course my beautiful baby is going to be the flower girl with Taylor, Ella and Ivy," I said and the three girls turned to me when they heard their names.

"What does flower girls mean?" Ivy asked running towards me.

"Flower girls scatter flower petals down the aisle wearing pretty frocks," I explained the little girl pushing her hair back.

"Like the dress, we wore that day?" She asked widening her eyes.

"Yes baby, this time even Vivi is going to join," Valerie said.

"Then we are going to protect Vivi." Colton and Eric said with huge smiles on their faces, puffing their little chests out which made me us laugh.

"You have to."

"Then what are we going to be?" Colin asked standing beside Ivy. "You are going to be the flower boy with others," I replied as I turned to where all the boys are.

Brad, Vincent, Celeb, Axel, Mack, Conner, Noah and all the boys sat on the floor while talking and laughing. They were talking about their crushes, love and breakups. They look like a men gossip gang.

"Should I click a picture and post it on insta?" Valerie asked looking at the boys.

"I already did," Mum said making us laugh.

"Conrad looks hot in this picture, should I post this or this?" Victoria discussed this with my mum.

"Mom, dad looks hot in every damn picture." Valerie complimented her step-dad who is actually more than her biological dad to her. Brad and my brother are great admirers of Conrad, he sometimes went by the name Jorah.

"Then I'm going to tag them in the story, but seriously they all are so busy talking that they forgot us," Valerie complained.

"They are having the boy's day in." I joked looking at Brad who is laughing at what Axel said.

"They are having a happy time though." Mom said as my gaze shifted to dad who sat beside Brad. They are sharing their own personal joke as Vincent said something. Brad's eyes widen before he laughed loudly which made me wonder.

"What did dad say that made Brad laugh so much that tears came out," I said as Brad wiped the tears. I was already filming the whole thing, I never saw him laughing so loudly and carelessly.

"Is Serina here?" Valarie asked.

"Nope, she will be here at any moment. Conner will be rushing here if he knew she is here."

"Are they finally together?" Mom asked.

"Nah, Conner kind of rejected saying he isn't sure about commitment."

"Then why would he rush here if she is here." Valarie looked confused as I chuckled.

"They have been ignoring each other for the past seven months. Serina is moving to California. Because of me and Brad, she is visiting us to congratulate." I explained at the same time Serine walked in wearing jeans and a crop top. She is beautiful...

I stood up with a huge smile on my face. "Oh God Serine! I missed you so much." I said hugging her.

"Congratulations girl! I'm so happy for you both." She hugged tightly as I let out a giggle.

"Thank you for coming," I said sincerely letting go of her as she took a seat beside Valerie.

"I will go and call Brad." She nodded her head as she spoke with Valerie and Mom. The boys were so busy with their talks that they didn't see Serine.

"Brad, Serine is here," I said immediately Conner looked at where the girls sat. Sadly, he can only see her backside as he is facing her back.

'You can come and talk to her Conner." I said as Brad walked towards me. He looked unsure whether to come or not. The boys went back to the conversation while Brad and I went to where the girls sat.

"Congrats man!" Serina said wrapping her arms around Brad for a brief hug. Serina actually became a friend of ours when we least expected it. Brad who I thought would dislike Serine because of her cheerful nature and talkative mouth befriended her to my surprise, I don't complain though. Serine is a great friend.

"Thank you for coming and you have to be there for wedding." He said as she chuckled.

"Will see man, if my work allows me to take a three day leave." She said bashfully.

"Then we all will be travelling to California to bring you here," I said wrapping my arm around Brad. She chuckled shaking her head.

"When is your shifting?" I asked her as my eyes glanced at Conner who is eyeing Serina with a scowling face. He didn't walk here, he just sat where he was. Coward and egoist...

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Valerie asked.

"Yeah, it's actually tonight but dad wanted to have a family dinner." She replied. We spoke for a while before she told that she has to leave now as she has to meet her parents.

She hurriedly hugged us as finally, Conner made his way to us. Before he could meet her she rushed away saying someone is here to pick her up.

"You could've walked here before, you missed talking to her," Valarie said. He shrugged his shoulders but you can see the way his eyes twitched. Brad kissed my cheek to have my attention.

"I booked the buffet, they will be here in an hour." I pecked his cheek.

"Good, I thought the same."

"Everyone staying back for dinner?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, Brad already called the catering people for a buffet," I said.

"Thank god, I wanted to be here," Axel said.

"You can stay here and we all can have a movie night."

"That sounds great after dinner." Valerie agreed. Everyone moved to where the boys sat. We all joined their jokes and talks. The day turned into one of the best days of my life with everyone who is a part of I and Brad's life.

Brad traced his finger on my ring unconsciously as he spoke with mum. I listened to them as Vincent held Vivi and Noah made her giggle.

Ella sat in my lap while Ivy sat in Brad's lap. Taylor is busy showing her new toy to dad. He is helping her braid her barbie's hair. While a few of the boys were talking interestingly with Conrad and I bet Brad's total worth that they are talking about bikes and bikers.

Later the night was spent with us in the movie room with a projector playing Harry potter series. Brad wrapped his arms around me as I leaned against him. I felt him kiss my hair as we watched the movie. I gave a kiss to his palm as I intertwined our fingers.

"Do you have an extra cake piece or something sweet?" Celeb asked walking into the grand kitchen. Everyone left in the morning after having breakfast. The kids left for school, Leo and Samuel stayed home as they weren't feeling good.

"Yes, we have so much cake in the fridge, even ice-cream is present," Leo answered Celeb. Celeb stayed back as he don't wanna stay at his mom's home.

"Fuck! So much food in here." Leo and I laughed. Celeb is always a foodie, I'm sure he is going to marry a chef because to win his heart the only way is his stomach and tasty food.

"So, is it a chef or businesswoman?" I asked playfully as he pulled the black forest cake out. His brows frowned, it took him ten seconds before he understood the message.

"Of course, without any doubt its a chef, sadly they are high in demand which makes me think that they don't get any leisure time to date. So my search is still on." He explained.

"Our cook prepares delicious food but unfortunately she isn't interested in young boys." Samuel joked, my eyes widen as a laugh escaped.

"Nice joke, young man," Celeb said sarcastically before laughing at the joke made on him. Even though Celeb is a businessman, he still looks young and free. He carries this carefree, sunshine smile and funny aura. So people mistake him as a young college-going kid.
