Lily’s POV.
As soon as I reach my room and hit the bed I fall asleep. I wake up late next morning and have breakfast in room only. After getting ready in purple floral romper with ruffled sleeves, I go down to meet Dani at 10 and soon everybody joins us.
We go to spa and spend half of our day there and have nutritional food for lunch. We get body massage, foot massage, waxing, manicure, pedicure and many other things. We pitched in for this too and as it was package we got discounts too.
When I come back to my room, I look at my phone and think that two days have become four days and I have yet to get call from Ryan. I get worried about him so I decide to search about him in case any news might have come up about him.
There is a news of him buying an island for building resort on it. Then there is a news of him coming back to New York. I click on that to see him and it is true that he is in New York then why didn’t he replied to my texts or calls.
I see another news and click on it to see headlines of him coming out with a heiress names Freya. Freya, his ex girlfriend. What is going on? I look at the pictures of them coming out of a hotel and laughing together. Now what do I make out of this?
I get angry and try one last time to call him only to be picked up by a woman.
“Hi. Who is this?” The woman asks me.
“Who are you? Where is Ryan?” I ask in turn.
“Well he is taking shower. But you can pass me any message you want to give him. I will tell him when he comes out. By the way I am Freya. Who are you?” She asks but I hang up.
I feel burning sensation in my chest and feel my eyes welling up. But then I put a stop to my emotions for a second then think about whatever I saw or heard could be a misunderstanding. I am so confused right now.
Ryan did said that Freya and hr broke up on good terms even though he didn’t wanted to break up. It means he did like her or maybe was in love with her. What if Freya is ready now and asked Ryan to try again. Where would that leave me?
I get distracted by Dani’s call and she tells me to be ready and be down in half hour. I don’t move for a minute then think I don’t have time to think about anything right now. I have come here to enjoy and I will do exactly that only.
I take a quick shower then get ready in metallic backless silver dress. It looks like long dress but after our party on yacht is over and when we come back to have after-party in resort club I could remove the extension and make it short. I wear matching heels and the necklace which Ryan gifted me as it is the only thing that goes with it.
I leave my hair open as I got it curled earlier in spa and after taking my clutch I go down with smile on my face. I would enjoy the two days without spoiling my mood and then when I will go back I will ask Ryan straight on that what the hell is happening.
At six in the evening, we get on the yacht and I tell Mia that I have surprise for her and take her to the back of yacht to show it. Then blindfold her and take her back to front where Kylie is present with her party in sexy red dress matching to Mia.
“Surprise.” We all say as soon as blindfold is removed.
“Oh My God. Kylie.” Mia says and Kylie kisses her and we make noises at them.
We pop champagne and ask the couple to groove on a upbeat music. We have some snacks and play games like truth or dare and never have I ever. When in truth or dare bottle comes to me I decide to be wild and choose dare.
“Fine pick a guy and kiss him.” Ella says.
“Okay.” I say and kiss Davis who is sitting next to me on cheek and a flash goes off.
“Hey! I thought to kiss him.” Ella says.
“Well you didn’t specify where and who clicked that picture?” I ask.
“It is just for memories.” Betty says.
“I hope it was okay.” I ask Davis.
“Come one, Lily. We are friends and it was just a game.” He says and we smile at each other.
After games, we comes back to resort and have light dinner of salad and soup with pizza. My phone rings but before I can look at it, Dani takes me by shoulder and we walk inside the pub. The music is so loud and good that I just want to forget everything and dance.
I dance with Dani after we all removes the extensions of our dress. Then I dance with the brides for a while and I don’t know when I started dancing with David. No touching was involved but I had so fun dancing with him like there is no tomorrow.
First Mia and Kylie leave then Ella leaves with one of the groomsmen. Dani and Betty leave along with other groomsmen and best man. I dreaded going back to my room suddenly and decided to stay back and so does Davis.
“What happened?” Davis asks me as I sulk at our table with cotton candy champagne in hand.
“Nothing.” I say as I try to avoid the question.
“Look I can’t you leave here alone as you are very drunk.” He says and I feel guilty.
“Fine. I will go back to my room.” I say.
“I will help you to your room then leave. Would that be okay?” He asks.
“No. I am fine. I only had three drinks. I am not that drunk.” I say as I stand up with two firm feets still feeling a bit fuzzy.
“Let me atleast accompany you to the lift so I don’t worry about you.” Davis says and we leave the pub to go towards lift.
When we are going to reach the lift I stumble and Davis saves me from falling. The lift dings and I say good night to him and get in the lift without seeing who else is in it. I wave at Davis and see that the person already pressed button for my floor only.
“You looked cosy with him.” I hear Ryan’s voice from behind me and shake my head and turn around to see him only.
“Ryan?” I ask as I look at his stone face.
“Yes it is me. Where is your phone? I have been calling you for some time now.” He says.
“The music was too loud to hear anything. What about you? Did your ex girlfriend told you that I called you after you came out of shower?” I ask snidly as I remember it.
He blinks then sigh and says, “Yes she did. That is why I am here I think.”
“I don’t know maybe you are here to tell me that you are getting back with her again.” I say as alcohol makes me feel bold.
“I am not getting back with her and I was planning to come here on Friday but got delayed because of an important meeting this afternoon.” He says as our floor comes.
“With your ex girlfriend?” I ask as I come out of the lift.
“No. She just came back from London and how would I know that she is staying in that same hotel. We met and then one of our mutual friend asked us to meet up. I already had packed up but had to get changed so I used her room to get changed then I took the first flight to get here. Give me that card.” Ryan rambles on then takes the key card from me when I fumble to open the door many times.
As soon as we get in, I put my clutch away and remove my heels while sitting on couch. He puts his overnight bag near closet and waits for me as I put the extension of my dress aside. He brings water for me and looks at me as I drink it.
“So you mean to say there is nothing going on between you and your ex girlfriend with whom you had four years long relationship?” I ask just to be clear.
“No.” He says looking straight in my eyes and I know he is telling the truth as he never lies to me.
“Fine. Then why didn’t you called me?” I ask as I go near the glass door which is closed right now.
“I was upset at first when you didn’t appreciate my gifts for you then I was very busy with island and stuff. Then when I came back I thought to surprise you but that plan also got failed. Now about you, when did you and Davis got so close?” Ryan asks.
“We are not close just friends. Everybody left and he just kept me company until I decide to leave and just accompanied to the lift. And if you are forgetting we know each other since college and I know he is sincere. Do you doubt me now?” I ask and turn around to see right in front of me.
“No. I don’t doubt you but I don’t trust him around you.” Ryan says as he hold me by my shoulders, “You are mine just like I am yours. Show your right and I prove that to you.”
I look in his eyes and I don’t know who takes the first initiative but we are kissing like we are dying for it and with each kiss I feel my insecurities going away. He pushes me against the glass door and feel his hand under my panties.
I remove his pants as I ride his hand while his other hand unhooks my dress. I shout out in pleasure as his manhood replaces his fingers and I hook my legs around his waist. The glass literally shakes as he thrust again and again inside me in rough but exciting manner. My legs feel shaky by the time I come and when I come I hold onto Ryan with my life.
Afterwards as we lay naked on bed after round two, I stay in his arms and think how stupid our misunderstanding was and that anything could be solved if people talk to each other calmly.
I fall asleep in his arm and wake in the morning when I hear my phone ring. My head starts hurting and I look beside me to see Ryan still sleeping. He must be very tired as he was busy earlier yesterday and then he came to surprise me.
I let him sleep and get up. I first take Advil with water then see to my other needs. As wedding is in late afternoon, right now bridesmaid can relax for few hours then after lunch we have to get ready.
So I decide to take shower later before going down. When I come out I see Ryan already up and he smiles at me when he sees me. I start to go near him but my phone interrupts me. When I see it is Richard, I go out to attain the call.
Richard asks me how I am doing and when I am coming back. He tell me that Ryan is Charleston too so if in case I want to come back with him on jet I can. I tell that I will think about it and hang up.
“Why are you so stressed?” Ryan asks me when he comes out.
“Richard told me that you are here so if I want to come back with you he will talk to you.” I say.
“So what is there to stress about? Tell him you will come with me as it would be more comfortable for you. I was thinking about doing so, that is why I told Dad about going to Charleston on a friend’s wedding.” Ryan says.
“Friend’s wedding?” I ask.
“Actually she is Kathy’s friend but we studied master’s from same university and we kind of know each other. Kylie, the other bride. As Kathy has doctor’s appointment today so she can’t come.” Ryan says.
“Oh! And who is Kathy?” I ask.
“My other best friend and she is happily married to my first best friend and soon they are going to have baby.” Ryan says
“Oh! I will call Richard first.” I say and go out to talk to him as Ryan orders for our breakfast.
“Great. Then I will let Ryan know.” He says and hangs up.
As I get in, I see Ryan busy on phone and try to control my laugh.
“Yes I will bring her with me. Actually I saw her in the same resort and came to knew that we are attending the same wedding… Okay… Yes…Bye Dad.” Ryan says and takes me in his arms and we kiss each other.
We have breakfast of french toast, yogurt granola fruit parfait and coffee. Ryan and I talk about what happened last few days. After having lunch, we have long relaxing bath together. As he wears his suit, I come out of closet wearing full length metallic rose gold cowl neck sheath dress with slit on the left side ending just above my knee.
“How do I look?” I ask him as I put my hand on door frame.
He looks at me and smirks then comes closer to me and says, “Do I show you or do I tell you?”
I so want to tell him to show me but I don’t have time so I say, “Tell me then maybe I will let you show me later.”
“Simply gorgeous. But if you keep your hairs open, then dangerous.” He says as he plays with my strand as I straighten his tie.
He kisses my hand then walks away to let me get ready. I again wear the necklace he gifted me and small earrings. I wear watch and nude color heels and peach colored lipstick. After giving him kiss, I go down to see Mia.
I meet Dani and other bridesmaids and we have lunch with the bride. After making her relax by cracking some jokes, we take to get ready in tent where everything is ready for her. The ceremony would be done on the beach.
As she gets ready we keep check at everything then Mia comes out of the tent wearing white boho wedding dress in which she looks so beautiful. Her parents shed some tears when they see her.
For next two hours, we are busy with photoshoot and welcoming the guests. The ceremony would start on half past five in the evening and we check everything till last minute. The flower girls, ring bearer and make sure that Mia is okay.
When Mia put on floral head piece, the flower girl demands it. I pick some flowers from the basket and make a small one for her to diffuse the situation. Then as the ceremony starts she happily throws flower around while showing it off to others.
Then time for us bridesmaid to go comes and we have to go arm in arm with groomsmen. I walk down the aisle with Davis and nod when he asks me if I am okay. I feel the hair stand on the back of neck as I part from Davis and stand at the bride side of the alter.
I look around and find Ryan sitting on second bench on Kylie’s side and giving me hot looks. I wink at him covertly then focus on the ceremony. Then maid of honour comes and then the bride arrives.
Kylie has wore same boho wedding dress with little difference and floral headpiece. I look at the beautiful couple as they get officiated and I can’t be more happy then this for them. I hope they get everything they wanted in life.
My eyes go to Ryan as the couple kiss and I see him looking at me with different emotions.
