Alexis's POV;
I sat alone in a restaurant and had breakfast there. My coffee was yet to be served to me and i was starting to get irritated.
I check my phone's clock and i saw i saw it has been over twenty minutes and still nobody served me.
I walked up to the counter to yell at them to get me my order but i couldn't as i noticed there was only one waitress and the restaurant was busy kind of.
I tried to walk back to my seat but i walk into someone,causing my purse to fall and reveal it's contents and her's as well as i see the purse i assumed it's a female.
Even in high school i always had to walk into Christina.
"Ouch." She muttered under her breath. Her hair got tangled in my earrings and i tried to untangle it. I get it freed and i can see her face.
But she stared at the mess on the floor and picked up her things. I tried to pick mine as well. But she saw my card and stared at it. "I'm sorry." I say standing up and she smiles lightly. "Are you a wedding planner?" She asked curiously.
I nod my head and she looks delighted as she interwine her hand with mine and walked with me to an empty table. "This Has to be fate. I have been looking for one in awhile." Her black eyes filled with joy.
"I'm Al-" i pause and continue, "I'm Mackenzie Poiner." I corrected.
Her face seems familiar but i just couldn't pin it down.
"I'm Penelope. Penelope Stewart." She brought forward her hand and i took it.
"So this wedding. It's when exactly?" I brought out a notepad to note down these things. "Next month." she grinned obviously excited about her wedding.
"Did you already throw an engagement party?"
"No. That's why I'd like to hire you. I want you to plan the engagement, bachelorette party and the wedding itself. Don't worry about the money. I have lots of it." She casually told me and i jot them all down."
"When do you want to hold the engagement?
"On Friday."
"That's like three days away!"
"Yes, i know it is a short time but you can try right?"
I take a long sigh and think about it. This could be the biggest wedding I've planned. I nod and she smiles.
"I want you to meet my fiancé and you can ask him what he would like for the wedding." She said while typing on her phone.
"That would be no problem. When?"
"Tomorrow."

Kyle's POV;
I was in a board meeting and my phone kept buzzing. I tried to see who it was that kept texting and calling but my dad glared at me,stopping me from reaching for my phone and turned my attention to what was being disscused.
After the meeting i went straight to my office, i called Lisa to get me a strong black coffee. Thank god she had the decency to knock this time.
I put the cup of coffee in my mouth and i frown. The coffee was tasteless and cold!
What kind of people actually work in this company. I call her again and she came adjusting her skirt.
"Who made this?" I snap and she looks at her shoes. "I told Sam to prepare it sir."
"Well you can tell Sam that he's fired and throw this coffee machine away. It's old and useless." I open a file on my desk and i still see her standing.
"And you're still here, why?" I roll my eyes. "I thought you-" i cut her off immediately.
"You thought? Lisa what did i tell you yesterday?"
"That i should stop thinking"
"Exactly. Lisa one more slip up and i will fire you. Leave my office immediately."
She left without uttering a single word. My phone buzzes again and i checked it. All the missed calls and texts they were from Penelope.
I read the messages and she said she had good news. My door opens and look up and see Penelope.
Another person that doesn't know the importance of knocking.
"Hi" she says with a grin on her face. "Someone's seems happier" i say smiling.
"I have finally found THE wedding planner."
"That's great! Finally."
"I want you to meet her because she will be spending alot of time with us for now"
"That's fine. When?"
"Tomorrow. I will text you when we wabt to come."
"That's also fine"
Her phone rings and she answers and they talk awhile and i go back to looking at the file and sign on it. She hangs up and stands up.
"Daddy wants me to go home. He says he wants to discuss something with me."
"Okay. Bye." I kiss her cheek and she leaves.
She leaves and i continue checking out my files. I have alot of work pending. Again the office phone rings.
I say nothing. Waiting for the person on the other line to speak up. "Good afternoon sir, your father wants you to go to his office immediately." The receptionist says and i hang up.
I walk out of my office and i see everyone get tense at my presence. I have always had this effect even in high school. I smirk and continue walking.
I knock and i hear an approval to come in. I open the door and i see my father seating on a wine colored leather seat and his eyes rest on me.
"You wanted to see me?" I seat on the black chair across him. He stares at me intenting like he is trying to read my thoughts.
"Your engagement in three days. Are you ready?" He continues staring and i get body conscious and sits up straight. I nod. "Good." He simply says.
Is this what he called me for? To ask if i was prepared to for my engagement. "Is That all?" My mouth blurts out.
He nods and i leave. My office desk filled with files i am yet to check and sign on.
My engagement is in three days, i shouldn't be working
You are getting engaged to a person you don't even love. That is not a good choice, my inner self conscience tells me.
I leave the office and go home. I take a shower to loosen up my tense muscles and wear a simple T-shirt. Afterwards i to go the dining table to have dinner.
The dinner was quiet as usual but my mother broke the silence. "Your wedding is coming up next month. Engagement in three days,why is there no trace of excitement on my face?" She asks cutting her fish. "I am happy mom. I'm just the type to show it" i lied and took a sip of wine.
"I can't wait to become a grandfather" he says with joy and i choke on my wine and cough loudly. Both my parents stare at me.
"Me too. Imagine being called grandma. Do us a favor and hurry up." She winks and continues eating her dinner.
"I don't mind becoming a grandfather before marriage" he also winked.
What is wrong with these two talking about being grandparents.
I just smile and continue eating my dinner.
