Chapter 42 – He’s Engaged… What?
Jada and Honey went to Benitez Tower. The boutique is on the second floor of the building, it's called K's Creation. The receptionist greeted them as she opened the door. "Do you have an appointment, Miss?" a woman carrying an organizer approached them and asked.
"Yes, I'm Miss Perez, I'm fitting my gown today," Honey replied with a smile.
"Oh, Miss KC's waiting for you in her office," then she led them to the far end of the boutique, into the designer's office.
If you were to look at it from the outside, the office looked rather small. But inside, it was spacious and the designer set it up in a really cozy way.
A gorgeous, young lady welcomed them. She looked like she was in her early 20s, a young lady indeed.
She sports natural brown pixie hair that showcases her facial features. She's between fair and brown in complexion and has a slender body.
The woman called KC can be considered as a model with her long legs and a really beautiful face. Her brows are naturally arched, something to envy for most women. "Hi, sis!" she stood up and greeted Honey, kissing each other cheek to cheek.
"KC this is Jada, by the way. She's my maid of honor," she extended her arm as Honey introduced her. Jada shook her hand and smiled sweetly. "Ohhhh, she's the model!" KC gasped.
Jada just smiled as KC gestured toward the chairs in front of her table. She and Honey sat down then KC called someone through the intercom.
"Let's just wait for Dani so you could start fitting the gowns," she informed them, still smiling.
Jada likes her personality, it's very pleasant. She looked like she didn't even know how to frown.
"Miss Martinez was here yesterday. She came an hour before her appointment. I think she's very excited about her wedding," she spoke again, talking to Honey. "Ah really? Who was she with?"
"She came with Lyken," KC responded. Her eyes flicked towards the woman and noticed Honey glancing at her.
"She knows Lyken and Kobe, they're the ones who constructed her boutique," Honey informed Jada though she didn't ask.
She then turned to KC, "She's Lyken's ex," Honey giggled.
KC's eyes widened as she looked at Jada, "Ohhh, you're the one he's still trying to pursue!" she exclaimed and Honey nodded though KC wasn't looking at her.
Jada's forehead creased after hearing what KC said. She was about to ask something but was interrupted when the door opened.
KC led them to the fitting room. When Honey saw her gown, she couldn't help but squeal. She immediately took off her clothes to try them on.
Jada did the same with the gown Dani handed to her. It's a haltered, pencil-cut gown with a high slit. She can't believe she'll be wearing it at a wedding. It's a bit sexy for the occasion.
The design of the gowns for the bridesmaids is a little different. Theirs comes with a pasta strap and an A-line cut.
When they were done trying their gowns, they headed to the restaurant after bidding KC goodbye. Honey and Jada didn't talk that much even while eating, as she was busy calling her guests. When they came home, they started planning for the bridal shower. They already called Jenny and Lowela and they confirmed their attendance.
They're planning to hold the party a week before the wedding. Since Honey's busy with Kobe and their wedding preparations, Jada was assigned to prepare for the party, along with Ada and Bambi. "Are we hiring a stripper?" Ada asked
"You want us to hire one? You think Kobe will mind?"
"Why don't you ask him? We might end up dead if he finds out," Bambi chimed in.
Jada pulled out her phone and dialed Kobe's number. She called to let him know about the plan of hiring a stripper for the party.

Fortunately, Kobe's fine with it as long as the stripper won't come anywhere near Honey. That's fine with Jada since the stripper's for Ada and Bambi anyway.
It was already dark when they finished planning so they decided to have dinner first. After that, they continued with the planning until they decided on the venue and the theme.
They all became busy planning for the party and Honey's wedding. They got even busier when it was just a few days before the wedding day.
One week before the wedding, Jada still hasn't seen Lyken. According to Kobe, the issue with Josefin isn't resolved yet so Lyken's still in Singapore.
But he also told them that Lyken's coming for Kobe's bachelor party. It will be held on the same day as Honey's bridal shower.
When the day of the party arrived, her mood was immediately ruined at the sight of Josefin. She arrived at Pamplona, along with Lyken.
As Kobe's anxious at the thought of hiring a stripper, they decided to choose the same venue. They're hosting the party at the very same resort, but on different sides so they won't interfere with each other.
Her mood lightened up when the party started but it turned sour again when Honey asked the stripper to dance for her. 'Yes, he was attractive!'
But Jada doesn't have time for that as she's still mourning the death of her love life. So she chose to ignore the stripper's abs and his alligator stick, though it was swaying right in front of her.
After the stripper's show, Jada grabbed her kaftan and excused herself to go to the restroom. She's a little tipsy and she almost tripped.
Good thing, someone helped her so she didn't fall. The bad thing, her savior was none other than Lyken. The most annoying person for her at the moment.
"Hey, careful!" he warned as he grabbed her by the arm and waist.
Goosebumps crept all over Jada when they got in contact, they were skin to skin. He's topless with only his boardshorts on. His shining, shimmering abs are exposed and it annoys her. 'Hold up! Since when did he become this hot?'
"Yay, sorry!""
"I think you're already drunk Miss Cuevas," then he chuckled.
'Really? He's now calling me Miss Cuevas? Not Ja or Jada or Jadanela anymore?'
Rolling her eyes, she smirked at him, "I'm still sober Mister Fontanilla," she refuted as she withdrew her arms from him and walked towards the restroom.
Jada turned around when she noticed that he was following her, "Do you need anything?" she asked.
"Your bikini is too skimpy," he whispered.
Jada shook her head then turned to her heel. She didn't spend that much time inside the restroom and when she came out, she headed back to the party. She's not planning to stay longer. She's going back to let them know she'll go ahead of everyone. She was dead tired.
Jada saw Lyken standing not far from the door. She walked past him and went straight to their venue, letting Honey know that she can't wait for them to finish.
Fortunately, she let go of her. Honey's aware of how tiring the preparations were for their friends and Jada's thankful that she understands.
On the way back to her room, Lyken's still there. He even followed her and as she started to get annoyed by his presence, she stopped to face him.
"What do you need? Are you planning to follow me the whole night? Stop now, I'm going to bed," she sneered at him.
"Good that you're going to bed now and sorry, I can't help but follow you around. I'm just worried that someone might pull you into the dark since you're very sexy," he grinned. "Get a life, Lyken!" she snapped at him.
"I'm trying Ja," he responded as he pulled her closer. "Jada, you're too hot and you're attracting other men's attention. I don't like that," he muttered.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Can you please stop watching over me? Go look after your fiancé," withdrawing her arms from his grip, Jada strode towards the villa and straight to her room.
