Leaves are turning orange, harvest is starting. The smell of mom's pumpkin pie during the months of November filling your nostrils. You know what that means; Thanks-giving is on the way. Also means another thing;

Thanks-giving dinner with the Carter's. Oh boy.

I drove into Leah's drive way and see her coming down the stairs to the car. We're going Black Friday shopping since it has a HUGE sale at Forever 21, we have to go. She sat inside the car, smilling like a fool. "What made you smile like the joker?" I asked

She turned over to me and glared, "Can you at least fake it?"

I waited a moment and showed her a fake smile, "There, happy?"

Her eyes lighten up, "Yes!! Now I made a map and also brought my IPad; with the digital map on it. Also OMG we have to go into this store....." And this is the time where I go and block out her girly ranting about which stores we should go in.

This happens every year; She makes a list, a map and a blue print where we should go shopping. I always tell her that we can go AROUND the mall and go to one to the next. Nope, she wants to do it the harder way and go to the really busy stores where we will get trampled on.

"Were you listening to anything, I was saying?" She whined

"How your talking then no." I stopped the car and looked over at Leah, "I really like shopping; really I do..... But not on Black Friday. It's to busy and I always miss out of the good deals at Forever 21 or Garage."

Leah unblocked her seat belt and sighed, "Next year will go two days BEFORE Black Friday. Okay?"

I nodded my head and opened up my door, "Okay," She said that last year and the year before that.

Entered the mall and see it was packed with tons of girls, also small families lining up to get into stores. "Can we go to Bath and Body Works first?? I want to try a new scent." Before I could get a say on this we were inside the store.

After going to Bath and Body Works, we went to; Bluenotes, Stiches, Justices, all those kind of stores. Even Forever 21.

We were just about to leave when Leah gasped, "Holy. Mother. Of. Chickens, look!!!"

I looked in her direction and groaned, " We our not, I repeat we our NOT!! Going into Victoria Secret."

She grabbed a hold of my arm and dragged me inside; Did she not hear what I just said?!

"You're getting married how many months?! 4?! And I want you to have an amazing garment under that wedding dress for Andrew to reveal!!"

I yanked my arm away from Leah and scowled, "You actually think I'm going to sleep with Andrew. The one who ruin my life, made my life a living hell at school, the one I have a hatred to?!?!?! You must be on crack,"

She looked around the store without being bothered from my glaring or ranting, "Alex, we all know what happened between you too and maybe it's time to forgive and forget? He looks like he changed."

I ran my fingers through my hair, "You guys seriously see something I don't. Cause I see the real Andrew; a cold-hearted, douche bag!!" I shrieked

she shoved a white garment in my hand, "Try this on; I think Andrew will go crazy on you."

I shook my head in disbelief; these days, people just love to ignore the truth and hear the lies. I walk into the changing room and strip out of my clothes in the white garment. It had alot of sparkle on it, also feathers on the top of the chest area and also the under wear too. What was going through her mind when she picked this up?! I look like a friggin bird!!

"Come on! I want to see how it looks,"

I sighed and opened the door seeing Leah smiling. Like a fool, "OMG It's perfect. Like I said a thousand times; Andrew is gonna be all over you!!"

I slammed the changing room door in her face and changed out of the garment. I knew she was leaning on the door when she said, "I don't get how you can not be attracted to him? He's a freaking sex god. All the girls at school drool over him or want a ride on his... You know. But you're lucky to be marrying the guy and all you do is sulk?! If I were you I would of made a deal with him to be friends with benefits. He's way to hot to be in the same room with clothes on,"

I opened up the door and Leah fell to the floor, "That was absolutely disgusting!! I will never, ever take Andrew that way. He may like sex but I would not give him what he wants; til every man is off the face of earth,"

She got up and dusted off her yoga pants, "That also means Andrew too,"

I smiled, "Exactly!!" And walked out, leaving the garment in the changing room.

*****

"My name is Linsey and I'll be your wedding planner. So first things first; what type of wedding would you guys like?"

Andrew and I both stared at each other and looked over at Linsey, "None," we both replied

She look taken back and took a quick glance at our parents. I feel kind of sorry for Linsey; she has to deal with Andrew and I fighting until March, too bad. "I'm sorry, this is an arrange marriage Linsey. They'll be picking everything for the wedding and if they don't. We're doing it," Auntie Andrea explain a bit rude I have to say!

Linsey sighed and looked over at us again and folded her hands together on the dinning table, "Okay.. Before we start any planning; Raise your hand if you think this is stupid?"

Andrew and I both raised our hands. "Okay, Raise your hands if you would like to go somewhere else than be in the same room with each other,"

Andrew and I both raised our hands. Linsey smiled. "See? You guys can both agree on something. So the faster we get an idea about the wedding, the less time we have to sit here and fight. Okay?"

Andrew raised his hand slowly. Laura turned to him to allow him to talk. "Just to let you know, we're in highschool, not kindergarten. I already went through that stage, I don't want to go back again!!"

"Sometimes you act like one and maybe we should enroll you back to kindergarten. To learn some freaking manners!!" I remarked

I can feel his glare piercing on the side of my face, "Maybe you should cause I do remember that Mrs.Sunny told us to use nice words, not truck driver words." Andrew remarked back.

I scoffed, "Please!! Mrs.Sunny would be a shamed on how you been now, being rude to your elders,"

He stood and pointed to himself, "Me?! I'm being rude? You're the one who goes off with your potty mouth and giving out sly remarks!!" He hollered

I stood up and glared at him, "Why can't you just sit down and keep your mouth shut huh?? Always getting yourself into trouble. We wouldn't be here if you weren't a jack*ss a few years ago."

His eyes changed from cold to hurt then back to cold in a flash. He picked up his phone off the table and walked over to the front door, he the door slammed open then slammed the it closed, making the house shake. Sooner or later we heard his motorcycle roar and going down the street. Bye, bye!

I ran my hands through my hair and sat down with my hands folded on the table, "So, I was thinking of having a beach wedding. Not in a church, since Andrew and I are not so godly like," I put my hand to the side of my mouth acting I was telling Linsey a secret, "Have you seen that fight? I don't think god will like THAT!!" and I leaned back

Linsey shook her head and wrote that down, "If you're going to have a beach wedding, the wedding has to be in June or may. What do you mom's thi--"

It will be perfect!!" I interrupted. I looked over at Mom and by the look on her face; I'm getting it when we get home.

*******

"How can you just do that Alexandra?! You know we planned on marking the date in March and what do you do?? Go and make it in June!! Oh and let's not forget about that little fight you and Andrew had, what is up with you two?! You guys can't stay in one room and not fight can you??" Mom ranted

"Actually we lasted 30 minutes in the hotel room in New York without fighting; I think that's our personal best!! Congrats to--"

"Alexandra Marie Thomason!!" Mom bellowed

Oh shit, I'm in BIG trouble now.

She started pacing around the living room, "I don't know what to do?? I tried locking you guys up in a room when you guys were 14, that didn't work. Put you guys through an arrange marriage; I know for sure that won't work. What else am I suppose to do?!" I could hear that she was about to start crying at the last sentence, "Since Andrew's 12th birthday, you guys been nothing but showing hatred to each other; what happened?? You never told me,"

I sighed and signaled my mom to sit down, "It all started when we got into middle school..." I told her the story how Andrew and I fell apart and what he has done after his birthday and so on. ".... And that's what happened; never forgave him since!"

Mom had tears in her eyes, "Oh honey," She brought me into a hug. Usually I'll be crying with her, but this time it's different; I had no utter feeling or sympathy in my heart for him, nothing what's so ever.
