Ophelia got home late, after the extra weird conversation with Cade in the car, but they still went to see the movies, she was somehow comforted that she was not the only one who craved the attention the public gave.
She had always wondered why some people would be so invested in the lives of others and even want to tell them what they could and could not do, She thrived on that attention, that was what made her who she was so she was not that bothered by the attention neither did she ate. It was just a wonder to her.
“Green what are you doing here?” she asked as she entered the kitchen to see Green sitting there with a glass of liquor in hand.
“I came to see you,” he said standing up and pushing the stool behind him that it screeched on the floor.
“Aggh” she exclaimed at the sound of the stool on the floor.
“Sorry about that” he said and there was nothing he could do to stop the sound.
“What are you doing here?” she asked again as though he had not responded to her question.
“To see you,” he said again confused.
“And for whatever reason it could not wait till tomorrow?” she asked. He pressed his lips together. Ophelia had always been fussy and rude but never to him, he had always seen her as an angel but maybe those were part of the things that made him have a crush on her for so long.
“I am here to apologize” he said and she laughed as she took a cup from the counter and went to the fridge to pour herself a cup of juice.
“Go ahead then,” she said before sipping from the cup.
“I am sorry for getting ahead of myself and offending you”
“How did you offend me?” she asked dropping the cup to the island table separating them.
“I can not tell, all I know is that you are angry with me”
“If you have no idea what you have done why are you apologizing”
“Because I don’t like the way things are between us at this time” he confessed before clearing his throat.
“Green, I respected you because you seemed different from people out there, you were young and even so ambitious, you did everything differently, you had a dream and the only reason I listened to you whenever my dad asked you to tell me to do something was that I thought you did not want anything bad to happen to me, why do you seem so different from what I remember?” she asked before gulping her cup.
“I am only saying this because I care about you. Marriage is a big deal, I don’t want you to get married if you don’t need to”
“It just dawned on me that we are really from different classes in society” Ophelia said causing Green to stand there and stare at her in confusion.
“And o I don’t mean this in a bad way. You lot marry because you feel butterflies in your tummy but we marry for more wealth, to forge stronger bonds and relationships that would create more wealth,” Ophelia explained.
“So it all comes down to money?” Green asked.
“Oh please, the only reason you are affiliated with our family is because of money, every relationship is based on money” Ophelia said. It was the first time he had heard her speak that way.
“You people say it’s not about money but break off at the slightest inconvenience money brings” she told him causing him to watch her in confusion.
“Don’t act like you do not know what I am talking about?” she told him before she began to walk to the door, she stopped and turned back to him.
“Green, I appreciate your concern even though I don’t understand it, I have made up my mind about this matter so I do hope you can respect it” she said and then walked away not waiting for him to explain anything further to her.
Green watched her go away, he had always hoped that there would be a place for him in her heart. He had always thought she had a soft spot for him somewhere and was conflicted to show it to him.
“Am I going to lose this way?” he asked himself. “I have to do something about it”
Ophelia got to her room and decided to plan her wedding, she was not exactly thrilled about the day but she was the kind of person who went all out whenever she wanted to get something done. She was going to make her wedding the wedding of the year by all means necessary and the first step was to get the biggest wedding planner to plner to plan her wedding.
“Hello, who is calling at this late time?” the lady’s voice showed her discomfort and anger as she was just clocking out yet getting calls from this strange number. She was annoyed but she needed to get more jobs to remain on the top, that was the reason she took the call.
“Ophelia Frost” Ophelia said waiting for the realization to hit her.
“Oh my, Ms. Frost, I am sorry about that” the lady said taking a deep breath and reevaluating her life choices. She was glad that she picked up that call.
“It is okay, I need you to do something for me” Ophelia said standing up from her bed and pacing around the room.
“Anything you want, I would be glad to help you”
“I want you to plan the grandest wedding of the year,” Ophelia said with a smile in her voice.
“What?”
“Wait no, I want them talking about it for ten years”
“A wedding? Whose wedding”
“My wedding” Ophelia was confused, wasn’t this woman seeing the news? Were they not doing good work convincing people that they were together?
“Has he proposed yet?” she asked in excitement.
“He would soon” Ophelia replied as a plan to get a public proposal hit her suddenly.
“Oh that’s so wonderful”
“Yes it is, so my wedding”
“Of course, let’s meet to discuss all the details”
“I want it grand and big”
