《Brunette》Part 32
Advertisement
It's been two months and I'm becoming more and more stressed about planning the wedding.
Tomorrow Lauren is going with the girls to look at dresses then next week my sisters are coming with me and today we have nothing to do.
I don't know why, but planning it is always on my mind and it makes me stressed.
I've had a few panic attacks because I keep thinking something will go wrong because of my dad. He still hasn't given up trying to contact me.
I haven't told Lauren he keeps calling me, but she knows something is wrong.
Right now Lauren and I are cuddling watching random movies on Netflix
My phone goes off and she looks at it ready to grab it, but I jump over her and take it then I turn it off.
"What are you doing?"She asks as I power off my phone.
"Nothing why?"
"Cause you normally let me grab your phone if someone's calling you,"
I sigh and she pauses the movie.
"My dads been calling me a lot more than before, I just have a feeling he's going to do something at the wedding,"I say looking down.
She grabs my hands gently.
"Is this why you've been having panic attacks in the middle of planning?"She asks and I nod.
"Why didn't you tell me princess?"She ask.
"I didn't want you to be worried. I know we're both already stressed and I didn't want to add onto that,"
"You can tell me anything. By you not telling me what was happening it made me more worried and stressed anyway. Also I'm gonna make a few phone calls I'll be back,"She says getting up.
I grab her hand and pull her back onto the bed and I connect our lips softly.
She smiles into the kiss and pulls away.
"Don't worry about it Laur. A few of my family members are going to Cali next week, they'll talk to him,"I say.

"I don't want anyone to get hurt Y/N,"
"I know and they won't. Lauren just don't think about this. Why don't we just finish this movie then we can go out possibly?"
She smiles.
"I would love that, but where too?"She asks.
"I know a place,"
"Are you gonna kidnap me?"
"Babe we literally live together,"
"That's true,"
We finish the movie, I put blankets in the back seat of the truck and Lauren changes.
I then put one of Lauren's hoodies on and she looks at me.
"What?"
"Am I not allowed to admire my beautiful fiancée?"
I smile and wrap my arms around her.
I peck her lips and she pulls me back into a longer kiss.
I kiss her back and she pulls me closer to her.
I pull away leaning my head against hers.
She smiles and pecks my lips before pulling away.
I grab the keys to the truck and we walk outside.
Since it's about 7:20 and it'll take half an hour to get to where I'm taking her and that's about when the sun sets.
I get in the driver seat and she gets in and I start driving.
About 40 minutes later we get there and I shake her awake.
"What?"She groans.
"We're here,"I say
She opens her eyes and sits up.
"You have to wait,"I say getting out of the truck.
I grab the blankets and pillows from the backseat.
I open the trunk and lay them down then I walk over to Lauren's door.
I open it and she looks at me.
"What's you do?"She asks.
"Come and see it,"
She gets out and I shut the door and we walk to the trunk.
"Babe you didn't have to do this,"She says wrapping her arms around me.
"It was nothing. When was the last time we watched a sunset together?"

"Before we started dating,"
"Exactly,"
We get on the blankets.
She grabs her phone as we cuddle and takes a lot of pictures.
She posts a few of them and we watch the sunset.
Lauren and I woke up and showered about an hour ago and now we're just laying in bed.
"Hey babe, when are you going with the girls?"I ask.
"At 2 why?"She asks kissing my head.
"I just wanted to know, I was going to see if any of the girl, Sabrina, Camila, Dinah, and Normani are free so we can hangout,"Lauren and Ally are out of town.
"Sabrina and Camila? Without Ally and Lauren?"She asks.
"Babe it's fine, I'll call the right now,"
I call all of the girls Norminah is hanging out with family and what do you know? Sabrina and Camila are free.
Lauren looks at me.
"Babe I thought you were fine with them,"I say.
"I am, but I don't know I just- it makes me uncomfortable for some reason,"She says looking down.
"Babe if you don't want me to hangout with them today or you want me to wait until Norminah is free or wait until ally and Lauren are in town I'll wait, I don't want you to be uncomfortable,"I say grabbing her hands.
"How did I get lucky enough to meet you?"She asks.
"I should be the one asking that,"
"And it's fine you can go hangout with them. I have to get over it. We're getting married in four months, then we officially can't leave each other over a stupid argument,"She says.
"What do you mean? After an argument we already can't leave each other. We live together. Our sisters are dating, and our only stupid argument was over my dad,"
"That's true,"
We cuddled until the girls came to pick Lauren up.
"Bye babe,"I say.
"Bye princess,"She responds and pecks my lips before leaving.
"Also you can't watch our video on Saturday, this is what the video is going to be,"She says and shuts the door behind her.
After like ten minutes Sabrina and Camila walk through the door.
I hug them and we sit down.
"So how are you and Ally?"I ask Sabrina.
"We're doing fine. Bradley and Troy haven't reached out to us since we've been public so we don't really have to worry about them. Everything's going fine in our relationship and it just couldn't be better,"She says as her eyes light up.
"Awe you love her!"I exclaim.
"I wouldn't say I love her. I don't know yet. She makes me feel... different than I've ever felt,"
"You're in love Brina,"
"And Camila how do you feel? Three months until you get married,"I say poking her side.
She squirms and falls off of the couch.
Once she gets up she smacks me.
"What!?"
"Why'd you do that?"She asks.
"I felt like it,"
"I've been waiting for this day forever. Now that's it becoming a reality it's all I can think about,l. What about you? Four months until you're married,"She says.
"I'm stressed a lot more than before but it'll all be worth it. There's a lot of hate because we haven't been together for a long time, but we've known each other for years and it was clear I loved her before we dated and so yeah. But with all of the hate comes support so I'm getting by it. I'm just thinking about how soon she's going to be mine for life and I can't wait for that,"
The girls and I talked for a while before the girls came back.
"Wait so who's last name are you taking? Or are you going to hyphenate your last names? Make your last name your middle name and take her last name?"Sabrina asks.

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
