Inside the lounge, Luna was trembling as Graham looked at her. Was he going to call off the wedding? She was sure that there was sweat covering her forehead. She raised her eyes to check what he was doing and she saw that he was intently watching her and she immediately removed her eyes off him not being able to maintain eye contact.
Graham on the other hand was very angry at her but he didn't want to be so hard on her because one, tomorrow was there important day and two, he knew that she had been convinced by her friends. He knew her so well. Calmly, he said," Well, what can I say, I'm disappointed in you. I didn't expect you to do something like this." She looked up to meet his eyes and said," I-I'm sorry. Please forgive me I know it's my fault." He noticed that her eyes were teary and said," Go home and sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." With that, he left the lounge.
As soon as Vikram reached Ciara, she said," I know I'm an irresponsible mother, I know I left a one month old baby with a nanny and I know that I'm a disappointment. Anything else?"
"Nobody said those words but I'm glad you know them. Let's go home," he said. "Wait, why did you suggest to get strippers and touch them? You want to touch other women, you miss other women, don't you?" she asked acussingly and Vikram couldn't help but chuckle. Wasn't she the one at fault here? "What's funny? You're now bored with me, ain't you?" she asked again. "Jealous, are we?"
"Who's jealous? Me? Of course not," she said and he left for his car as she came following behind him.
Luna found Bella outside alone sniffing and said," We have to go home. You will catch a cold."
They went back home and when they reached, Luna failed to get sleep in the night thinking about Graham. She hoped he wouldn't be mad by tomorrow.
Early in the morning, Cynthia entered the room and pulled the curtains drawing them together such that light would penetrate into the room. Bella woke up stretching her body. Every part of her body was hurting. "Good morning. At what time did you guys come back?" Cynthia asked them. "We didn't take so long," said Bella as she suppressed a yawn while making her way towards the bathroom.
Cynthia went and stroked Luna's head and said," Wake up. Today is your special day."
Luna forced her eyes open and said," I don't think it's that special anymore." Cynthia frowned and asked," Why do you say that?"
"Because I think Graham is angry with me."
"Why is that?" "Because..uhm.. I didn't inform him about the bachelorette party. And he found me... touching other men. Even though he tried to hide it I noticed that he was upset."
"Oh that. But I'm sure that the moment he lays his eyes on you looking all beautiful in your wedding gown, he will forget about everything else," said Cynthia. "Really?" "Yes, so you have to wake up now, and have a bath then eat breakfast before we start working on making you beautiful." With that, Luna got up and went to the bathroom to bathe.
After having breakfast, Bella pouted her lips when she saw that Ethan hadn't called her yet. He had to remind her to have breakfast but today he didn't. He was still angry with her and she didn't like it. She called him but his phone was off and she knew that he did it on purpose.
Just then, the facial and massage therapists were brought in by Cynthia and she said," I want you to make sure that they are spotless. I want them to look their best."
They started working on them both and shortly, Abigail and Ciara came in. They all remembered what transpired yesterday night at the lounge and they burst into laughter. They were really caught red handed.
After the sessions, Luna's phone rang and on checking, it was Graham. She felt her heart almost leap out of her chest thinking that he had called to talk about yesterday. "Hello," she said nervously. "How was your night? Are you up now?" he asked. "Yes, just from having massage therapy," she said. "Okay, take your time but don't make me wait for too long. I'm dying to see you in that gown," he said and she smiled. She realized that he had hung up and after the phone call, she was relieved that he wasn't upset anymore.
It was then that Cynthia brought in the makeup and hair stylists. She instructed them to make a pretty bride which they promised to do. They started with Bella as Luna was inspecting their dresses making sure that they were in perfect shape. She was becoming more nervous with every passing second. After taking the required time on Bella, it was finally Luna's turn to be worked on.
