I sit, waiting in anticipation. Please tell me it has something to do with getting us Celine Dion concert tickets. They are sold out, but I know he can pull some strings. Like maybe he can even get me backstage.

“I realize Charlotte has plenty of important people in her life who mean the world to her, but both of you have been there for her through thick and thin, and, for once, I want to do things properly. I want to throw her a proper wedding in Carmel with our family and friends. Now, before you both say something, we have to keep this under wraps because I don’t want the media all over Charlotte. Not during this stage in the pregnancy.”

I gasp, covering my mouth soon afterward, slightly disappointed I won’t be watching Celine.

“So, what exactly are you asking?” Nikki questions.

“You plan the whole wedding,” he answers bluntly.

He grins back, and damn, my man bits do back-to-back somersaults. Nikki sits there quietly like she has to think about it. I kick her with my foot to be met with a why-the-fuck-did-you-do-that stare.

“I’ll do it! But I swear to God, Lex, if you hurt her in any way, shape, or form, I will cut your balls off into tiny pieces and feed them to the wolves. You got me?”

“Yes. Thank you, Nikki.” He forces a smile, struggling to keep his composure around Nikki. “Now, just the finer details… it’s next month. Charlotte and I are flying to Carmel to spend some time with her dad.”

“Excuse me?” Nikki and I blurt in unison. I continue, “But it’s in four weeks?”

“I realize that, so I will give you two assistants.” He motions over to another table where Adriana and Kate are seated. I hadn’t noticed them there at all. They walk over with huge grins on their faces.

“Adriana is a… well, a freak with anything wedding-related. The four of you can put your pretty little heads together to make our day memorable. Kate will be all yours for the entire week. She is an expert at organizing anything last minute and can also help you with any coordinating that needs to be done.”

I sit there in an out-of-body experience. I can’t believe this is happening. I turn to look at Nikki who surprisingly has a huge smile on her face.

“Okay, so that’s it. I’ve got an important meeting, so I’ll leave you to it.”

He stands up and pulls his wallet out of his pocket, throwing his black Amex on the table.

O.M.G!

“Oh wait, Lex…” Adriana calls.

He turns around one more time to face us at the table.

“Do we have a budget?” she asks with a deviant smile.

“It’s Charlotte, no price can be put on marrying her.” He winks before walking off.

Catching the breath I have been holding in, this is no doubt the best thing ever to happen to me. Planning a wedding with no budget, and I’m talking billionaire money here. Holy fuck!

“O… M… G!” I gasp, fanning my face with my hands.

“Right?” Kate laughs

“This will be epic,” Adriana nods.

I nod, agreeing.

Nikki is silent, which is odd coming from Miss Opinionated.

“Nikki?”

“This day is going to be the wedding day of Charlie’s dreams. The fairy tale beginning, even though I still think he’s a jerk. No offense, Adriana.”

“None taken. Any ideas, though?” Adriana begins scribbling notes into a journal-looking thing.

“Of course, I’ve got ideas. I’ve been waiting for this moment since the night Edwards had my baby in jail. Leave the bachelorette party up to me…” She rubs her hand with a devilish grin.
