Watching her sassy ass make up her mind to truly go through with this is a memory I will always cherish.
As I wait for the receptionist to return, I remember Siri asking me if I believed in karma and soulmates, and I told her I was beginning to.Now, I'm a firm believer.I chuckle.She'll like that.
When we packed to come back to the States, we decided to keep this a secret from everyone.Neither of us wanted a big hoo-haw, and neither of us, frankly, have time for it.Our lives are complicated enough without adding a huge event that would surely become a media feast of epic proportions.I hope her parents will forgive her, but she didn't want to wait for their return."When it's right, it's right."She stated emphatically.
I grin.This is so right!
I hear the entrance door open, then close, and the receptionist appears in the hallway.She walks towards me, all smiles."This way, Mr.Moore."Her words give me a flashback, and I chuckle with the memory of that particular moment in time.Mrs.Smith coming out of her office, ready to show me an apartment I already knew I was going to rent, and Siri, standing breathless and beautiful, having almost busted her ass in a puddle of water in the lobby of Dogwood Court, clueless she was already mine.
Grinning, I turn to follow.Yeah.I believe in karma and soulmates, but I also believe in seizing the opportunities presented.I'm a man who makes what I want happen, and I wanted Siri.She opens the door and pushes it into the room."The dry cleaners delivered your tuxedo this morning.You will find it hanging in the dressing room.Everything you need is in there.When you are finished, go to the end of the hall.You will be in Chapel #9.
"#9?Perfect.Thank you."I walk in and take a deep breath to relax my nerves too.I wouldn't admit it to my Baby Thang, but hell yeah, I'm nervous too.I only want to make her happy, and I've been a selfish asshole my entire life.I blow my lips and run my fingers through my hair, then start to pace the room.Everyone is nervous before, right?It's a big deal to make a lifetime commitment to another person.Suddenly I realize what I'm going to say to her, and I feel a little better.It's perfect.
I take my phone out and check the time.It's only been a few minutes.Knowing I have at least a half-hour to kill, I decide to text my team.
To Antonio:
Your location?
Vegas.Heading over to the architects now.
Meet me at the warehouse tomorrow at 2:30 p.m.
Roger that.Ciao.
To Quintus:
Your location?
Vegas.At the apartment.Sick!
Are you with Kip?
Yes.He says to tell you Bianca will forgive you now....Whatever that means.
I chuckle.
Yeah.You'll find out when you meet her.Be at the warehouse tomorrow at 2:30 p.m.
Will do.
To Angelo:
Your location?
Rome.
Arrival?
Tomorrow at 2 p.m.Vegas time.
You ok?
Yes.Ready to get the hell out of here.Mia is making my life miserable since she found out I'm coming to Vegas with you, and she's being left behind.
I chuckle at that too.
Go straight to the warehouse when you arrive.
