"I will be right out in a minute" Sophie said out loud from inside as she hurriedly packed up the stuffs she would be needing at the strip club later tonight. Ann was sitted in the car waiting for Sophie to come down. Sophie had offered to drive Ann to Lisa's wedding, Ann had been really excited to go especially because of how she felt about Lisa. Lisa was a sweetheart and she couldn't wait to meet her again since the last time she saw her was at the sitting.
"hey, I am sorry I kept you waiting" Sophie said as she hopped into the car.
"it's all fine" Ann responded.
"hope you wouldn't mind if I drop by at my parent's house for a couple of minutes, I need to pick something from home" Ann said as Sophie began driving.
"Alright, the wedding doesn't start till 2PM anyways" Ann said.
Sophie got to her parent's house in a few minutes, She wasn't sure whether to let Ann stay out in the car or being her in with her.
"do you mind coming in" Sophie asked
"no, I don't" Ann said getting down from the car.
.
. Ann walked slowly next to Sophie. they were living in a block of flats. Sophie knocked for a few minutes before she younger jade came to open door.
Ann looked around the three bedroom apartment as she walked inside in by Sophir. The place was relatively big and hsd some nice appliances and decorations too.Sophie' sister hurriedly went inside to probably come out.
"please sit and wait for me, I will be back soon" Sophie said then Ann sat on the sofa I'm the living room.
as Ann was waiting for Sophie, she suddenly saw Sophie's mum sit across to her in the living room. one could easily tell the connection from how much they looked alike, She was middle aged, looked a little older than her age though.
"hello ma" Ann said in the most polite way ever.
"hey dear"She responded.
Ann and Sophie's mum sat in silence for some time before Ann decided to speak up.
"she isn't happy with all that is going on" Ann explained as she faced Sophie's mum.
"excuse me please" Sophie's mum said
"she isn't, I don't even need you to talk, I just want you to know that she works her a*s off everyday to make sure that at least there is something to eat at home and all. the least you could do is appreciate and thank her and not by drinking and smoking and every other thing. just do something that counts for her" Ann was still explaining when Sophie came out of the room.
"I am ready, sorry I kept you waiting. let's go" Sophie said and Ann stood almost immediately.
"bye ma" She said to Sophie's mum before leaving. Sophie's mum hadn't even been able to reply what Ann had told her. she just stared as Ann as she walked away .
Ann checked her phone as she got into the car. she had couple of missed calls from Mike and they probably already started the wedding then. few minutes later, Ann was packed directly in front of the hall for the wedding.
Mike had been waiting for her outside, he wanted them to go inside the venue together. immediately Ann got down from the car. Mike approached her.
"wow, you look very beautiful"Mike complemented. Ann's black dress was really breathtakingly beautiful.
"thank you" Ann said with a smile.
"we should probably go inside now" Ann suggested. Mike held Ann's hands in his as they both walked inside together.
"this place is really beautiful" Ann said as she admired the event as they both sat on the table they had been directed to.
Ann and Mike had missed the vow taking part of the wedding and although that was Ann's favourite part of any wedding. she decided to enjoy this anyways.
it was a toast to gbe bride and groom from lisa's best friend.
her best friend said all the good and great things about her.
"so here is a toast to me best friend Lisa, I still remember when Lisa and curry met. she loved everything about him and wouldn't and wouldn't go a day without actually letting you know how much she loves the man. I have known Lisa all my life and I am so glad and grateful to see her this happy today. the genuine smile on her face and all. you could easily tell how in love she is. I am rooting for this couple and I hope everything turns out good for them, I love you guys so much" Elizabeth said and Lisa wiped a tear from the corner of her face. it was an emotionally speech for her.
"you two look so good together, you make a fine couple" the old woman sitted next to Ann and Mike said with a smile.
"we are actually not a couple" Ann and Mike said unanimously.
"Then maybe you should be one" She said again with a smile on her face before standing to go and do what she wanted to.
Ann and Mike exchanged glances as they both laughed.
"do you want to dance" Mike asked stretching his hands out to Ann.
"sure" Ann said standing up as they both walked to the dance floor.
Ann was an amazing dancer and surprisingly Mike was too. so has they competed on who was the beat dancer of the night, they had the best time ever.
After they were done dancing, it was time to throw the bouquet. As the girls eager to catch the flower stood behind the bride excitedly. the bride finally threw it after some moments and it fell directly on Ann's hands.
"wow" She said, as people clapped for her. she looked around smiling. she knew she wanted to get married maybe this was a sign that it was coming sooner than later.
"I guess there is another bridal dress to be made soon" Mike whispered in Ann's eyes and they both laughed.
