Chapter 97 - Wedding Jitters

"Lia!" I yelled tapping her as hard as I could getting frustrated with her.

Why did she have to drink so much?

"Lia come on it's your wedding day and we don't want you to be late."

I tapped and shook even harder and she stirred a little then went still.

I groaned as I held her feet and dragged her off the bed and she fell to the floor with a thud.

"Oww" she groaned and I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing as she glared at me.

"Finally! You're a wake!" I exclaimed as I placed my hands on my hips.

"Mmmm. What time is it?" she asked groaning as she climbed off the floor.

"8:30" I replied as I leaned all my weight on one leg folding my arms.

"Mmmm 8-wait what!? 8:30!? she exclaimed as she rose from the bed running to the bathroom to freshen up.

"Why didn't you wake me sooner!?" she asked as she wrapped her self in a towel.

I scoffed as I placed a hand over my chest, "umm I did, but you went ahead and got yourself drunk last night and passed out.

She groaned as she face palmed her self and I felt sorry for her and decided to put her at ease, "it's not really 8:30, but it will be soon if we don't hurry."

She side eyed me and I gulped chuckling nervously, "I. Am. Going. To. Kill. You"

"Kill me later. It's your wedding and birthday." I smiled as I threw a key over to her and she caught it with ease her eyes softening as she realized.

"No way!" she said looking at me and covering her mouth, "no you did not!"

I shook my head yes as tears welled in her eyes and she came to hug me, "thank you"

"Hey hey. No crying. Your eyes will get puffy and its your wedding days so lets go. The stylist and makeup artist are waiting."

"Oh yes right. Wait. Do we take your car or my car?" she asked smiling and I replied with the only right answer.

"Your car. Duh!"

She squealed as she held my hand and we took the elevator to the parking lot and she squealed even more when she saw the car.

"It's the one I wanted." she said as ran around it inspecting it and smiled loving to see how excited she was, "Best day ever."

"Let's go" I said reminding her that we had prior arrangements and we were off.

I had never met their parents before today since they lived outside of Seoul so it was nice to have finally met them.

The wedding hall was absolutely crowded and it as filled with people that I didn't even knew, but I saw and greeted the ones I knew that were my employees.

I was Lia's Matron of  and I felt honored when she asked me for I thought that she would have chosen her sister or one of her cousins.

She had really nice taste in dresses for we all looked so good, but we didn't over shadow her.

She was so nervous while we were getting her hair and makeup done and I had to console her telling her that is was normal to feel nervous for it was pre wedding jitters.

She luckily soon after calmed down after I tipped a little bit of vodka into her water and she was now confident and ready.

All eyes were on her when she finally made her appearance and I found it so hard in me not to cry.

Heesung was the ring bearer and he looked so handsome in his little tuxe as he walked down the aisle holding his grandmas finger and the twins were the flower girl and flower boy.

My eyes welled with tears as they looked so cute holding each others hands as they threw the flowers literally every where, including on each other.

The congregation laughed and awed and I felt proud of the kids as they received a lot of, "gwiyeowo (cute)"

It really was a beautiful day and I laughed at Minjae as he cried after removing her vail acting as if he hasn't seen her in years when it in fact has only been hours.

By the time of the vows I had already shed tears carefully wiping them as to not ruin my make up.

During the entire service, Minjae's best man kept stealing glances at me and I would give him a polite smile ever so often.

He was kind of cute to be honest and I think that I might be intrigued by him.

The service has soon ended and they kissed and it was now time for my favorite segment of the wedding, food time.

The caterers did such a good job with not only the display but the taste of the food.

I was at the buffet having a wonderful time with myself and the food when I heard someone walk up beside me.

"Hi" said the person and I quickly turned around startled with a fruit skewer almost half way in my mouth from being startled half way through eating.

He chucked at me as my cheeks we were full and I had no doubt that I didn't look like a squirrel.

"Cute" he said as I finally removed the stick and swallowed the food that was in my mouth embarrassed by the situation.

"Uhh excuse. I am usually not like that. It's just that I haven't even all day and I-"

"It's okay." he said cutting off my rant and I apologized once more bowing a little.

"So I have never seen you before. What's your name?" he asked staring down at me intently.

"I'm Atalia Carter, nice to meet you." I said outstretching my arms to shake his.

"Jung Eun Tak, the pleasure is all mine." he said smiling again and I repaid his gesture by smiling as well.

"So Miss Carter. I didn't here you say Mrs. Are you single?" he asked as he took two glasses of champagne from the server that was walking by and handed me one.

"Yes haha. I'm single."

"Good" he said smirking as he took a sip of his champagne.

I blushed a little as I too took a sip and he gestured for us to take a seat at an empty table.

"So Miss Carter who is so beautiful and happens to be single. Tell me about yourself."

"Well I am the founder and CEO of The A.E.C firm, law firm, my favorite color is blue and I like staying at home and watching TV" I said as I downed my champagne in one gulp then smiled.

"Oh right I knew your name sounded familiar. Your Atalia, like thee Atalia." he said fanboying and I blushed.

"Yes its me. In the flesh. So tell me about yourself."

"Well I've already told you my name and I too am a lawyer who loves staying at home and Watching TV."

"Oh really" I said as I rested my head on my hands that were on the table and I fluttered my eyelashes looking up at him.

We were having a good bye and was getting to know each other when I my son ran up to me.

"Mommy mommy look!" he said as he ran to my feet and I pick him up.

"Yes my little monster what's up?"

"Mommy I got flowers." he said showing me the flower and gushing.

"Wow! What a pretty flower for my pretty boy. Do you want me to put it in you hair?" I asked and he nodded.

"Where is your sister?" I asked not seeing Adriel anywhere.

He raised his shoulders pouting his lips as I placed him back on his feet and he ran away.

Eun Tak was staring at us the whole time and I honestly had forgotten that he was here, "oh. Sorry about that."

"That's your son? He asked getting straight to the point and I raised a brow confused.

"Yeah why?"

He was silent for a while before he asked another question, "and you have a daughter?"

I nodded my head yes not sure where this was going, "they are eighteen months old twins."

"Oh" was all he said and I immediately got his point.

"He is quite verbal for his age. He speaks well" h complimented and my thoughts of leaving him at the table vanished.

"I must say you don't look like you have kids at all." he complimented.

"Well thank y-"

"Miss Carter I'll be frank with you I'm not looking for a relationship for a woman that has kids. I'm sorry, but I have to go. It was nice meeting." he said leaving the table and my mouth opened at closed at his audacity.

I rolled my eyes as I watched him leave realizing how ugly and repulsive he actually was till I locked eyes with my son who was smiling and for a minute his dad was all I could see.

My heart ached and breathing became shallow for not only him, but also Adriel has inherited his gummy smile.

They honestly looked more like him that me for they had his eyes, nose, and smile and the only thing they got from me was their full lips and curly hair.

I sighed as I took two flutes of champagne from the server that was passing by and downed them in one gulp.

"I was really becoming a alcoholic" I thought as I laughed bitterly.

Fuck men!
