Hurried footsteps were heard of people moving in urgency. Some were running, others speedwalked, some were shouting at each other communicating on what needs to be done. A woman wearing a pair of blush pink stilettos with a royal blue dress arrived at the scene.
"Mrs. Frost, you're here!" She smiled at Victoria.
"Oooh! Annaliese, this is exactly what we wanted", Victoria smiled in approval.
"You just couldn't wait now, could you?" Henry spoke from behind her. He wore a well fitted navy blue suit with a blush pink tie to match his wife.
"Of course! It's a Frost wedding! I want nothing but perfection!" She said proudly making Annaliese smile. She leaned in and pointed at the alter, "By the way, that looks a bit crooked, can you have someone fix it?"
"Victoria, let her do her job", Henry held her arms from the back and looked at Annaliese. "You said it yourself, it's a Frost wedding. She knows what to do."
Annaliese felt a shiver run down her spine and cold sweat start to break on her forehead. As if the pressure wasn't already there, Henry just made it worse. He took his wife and walked away. Victoria's phone started to ring from her purse. She took it out and put it on speaker.
"Mom! I'm freaking out! Everything is moving too fast! We literally have 33 minutes before we start off. Oh my god!" He cried out in panic.
Victoria sighed hearing her son. "Deep breaths honey. Deep breaths. You're okay. Breath with me. Breath in-"
Henry snatched the phone and growled into it in annoyance. "Xavier, how many times have you attended public events to freakout now?"
"This is different!" He cried out in frustration making Henry's lips to twitch.
Victoria snatched back her phone and glared at her husband. "Stop judging him. You were no better when we were getting married. Your father had to stop you from jumping into a taxi outside the church because you were afraid of walking down the aisle."
"The attention is overwhelming", he grambled at being exposed.
"Jeez Dad, some hypocrite you are", Xavier said in disapproval.
"Whatever, stop freaking out and help calm your brother's nerves instead. I'm sure he needs it more than you. We will be busy welcoming the guests. Don't call us back", Henry hang up right after.
On the other hand, Xavier let out a frustrated groan seeing thr terminated call. Following his mother's advice, he took a couple deep breaths and walked out of the bathroom. He pulled on his black suit jacket and walked over to the lounge area of the hotel room they stayed at.
George, who was in a similar suit, was standing by the window with his back turned to him. He glanced over his shoulder at Xavier who saw him laughing and smiling, it was obviously Nora he was talking to.
He walked over to join Zach in the lounge area who sat with his leg crossed over the other in elegance. He had his eyes closed, fingers rapping against the armrests.
He was in a black suit as well but it was a little different with a touch of blush pink outlining his collar and a hint of velvet on his blazer. It was a signature from J's. He sat with his bowtie undone, hair combed back to fully expose his beautifully chiseled facial features. He seemed to not care of the happenings around him.
Xavier went to seat on a sofa next to his brother. The latter opened both his eyes to be greeted with Xavier's very nervous side profile. Stephen joined them with three glasses and a bottle of scotch in hand. He poured them a glass each and gave one to Zach.
"Xavier", Stephen called out.
"Huh?" He looked over with wide eyes before looking down at the glass being offered to him. He shook his head, "I can't take that."
"Trust me, it will help you", Stephen said.
He received it, Stephen raised his glass for a toast only to find Xavier gulping down the burning liquid. He smirked and clinked glasses with an amused Zach before sipping on their drinks in silence.
Xavier examined the now empty glass. "Can I have some more of this?"
"No, you can't have more than I gave you."
It took a second for Xavier to realize what Stephen meant. "Did you- Did you put something in this?"
"You were freaking out", Stephen confessed.
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Why am I getting more freaked out? What did you do? Zach man, I'm sorry but I feel like I might fuck up as your best man. I-"
"Nervous or not, you will still play your role", Zach interjected with brows furrowed.
"Zach-"
"Xavier", Zach stood up and held the back of his neck firmly. He made sure to hold his gaze before he continued, "This is the most important day of my life and I need you."
The fear in his eyes was quickly replaced with determination as he abruptly stood up. Zach needed him. "I'll-I'll make you proud. And I'm proud of you man!" Xavier pulled him into a hug and they gave each other strong pats on the back. They broke it off and he looked between the two.
"Hey, I think the meds are doing it's thing. I'm getting calmer."
Zach looked over at Stephen with a questioning gaze only to receive a smirk. Zach smirked back and concealed it by sipping on his drink, he understood the little trick Stephen played.
"How are you guys so calm about this? I can't be the only one freaking out. I bet Amy is freaking out too."
Hearing her name, it tugged on Zach's heartstrings. He could only imagine how beautiful she would look. He couldn't wait to see her. It's why he got ready so quickly in the first place.
The said person was at another hotel getting her hair and makeup done in a robe. The girls were already in their dresses just getting touch ups. Suzy marveled at how beautiful her friend looked in that moment.
"I can feel your eyes on me", Amy said with hers closed as the makeup artist worked on her eyeshadow.
"You don't seem nervous", Suzy mused.
"It hasn't hit me yet", she said in honesty. She heard Roserie whine from the back and Stella shushing her. "Stella, if she throws up on herself, I prepared a spare dress for her."
"Got it dear", she answered with a smile and looked over at the mirror in front of Amy and gasped. "My goodness, Zach might have a heart attack when he sees you. You look so beautiful dear."
"Thank you", Amy blushed.
"All done! Now let's get you in your dress", the stylist said to Amy.
She admired their handiwork, her hair had been styled in curls that were tied beautifully at the back leaving a few strands to frame her face and her makeup consisted of a light smokey eyes with nude lips glossed over. She had a satisfied smile on her face before she followed them into the bedroom of the room.
Everyone anxiously waited for her to appear. A good ten minutes later, the two stylists walked out first with huge smiles before gesturing with their hands in the direction Amy was to walk through. Gasps echoed when Amy walked out.
She wore a pure white satin dress with a length that kissed the floor, the dress was snatched from the top to her hips to accentuate her amazing figure, it was also adorned with lace to show a decent amount of skin that went all the way to her wrists, and tiny diamonds to add a bling to it. On top of her head sat a crown covered by a cathedral length veil that extended longer than her dress' tail.
"What do you think?" She lifted the veil from her face to look at everyone when she caught sight of Roserie's gummy smile. Amy smiled as she walked over. She dropped the veil only to lift it again only to earn another excited gummy smile with a throaty noise.
"Awww!" Everyone cooed at Roserie who was in Stella's arms, amused by her mother playing peek-a-boo with her.
Amy was all smiles when she repeated her actions and earned an excited squeal from her while flailing her little arms. Amy went closer and picked her up so she could give her chubby cheeks kisses.
"You look so beautiful dear", Stella's voice cracked as she was on the verge of crying.
Suzy put her thumbs up while her eyes watered, threatening to release the tears. Amy smiled at her closest friend.
"You look beautiful Amy", Lorraine said earning a 'thanks' from Amy.
"Yeah. Zach will probably want to rip it off when he-"
"Nora!" Stella scolded before she looked back at Amy. "Give her to me."
"It's time!" Richard announced as he walked in and he stopped to take in how beautiful Amy looked. He walked over and kissed her forehead. "You look beautiful, kid."
"Thank you, Richard."
He smiled, "Now let's get you married."
