Chapter Ten

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EYES! LOOK AT MY EYES!”

Yes, it’s the beautiful bride on her wedding morning. This is how I was woken up the last two times, too. Alexandria woke up with a zit on her forehead (“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! MY FACE! LOOK AT MY FACE!”) and Sydney decided on her wedding morning that she had somehow gained twenty pounds overnight (perhaps at the rehearsal dinner) and that her dress was definitely not going to fit.

Victoria is here because she didn’t want Kevin to see her before the ceremony, so she slept over at our place the night before. This created a great deal of awkwardness about what to do with Paris, since the two of them still haven’t spoken to each other since the fight at Victoria’s bridal shower. But luckily Paris decided to jet off for the weekend with Jiro to buy their wedding rings from a jewelry designer she knows in Florida. So at least it’s not as completely insane around here as it could be.

Sofia opens my door, darts inside with Dublin, and closes it quickly behind her, pressing her back against the door as if she’s being chased by werewolves. Our dog gallops over and leaps on the bed with me. He looks nervous, too, burying his face under the pillow next to mine.

“Hair and makeup appointments in an hour,” Sofia gasps. “And we’d better get Carolina over here. Victoria didn’t sleep well, so her eyes are bloodshot and puffy and she’s decided that she can’t possibly get married today.”

“She wouldn’t be one of our sisters if she didn’t,” I say, sticking my hand out of the covers and feeling around for the phone. Carolina answers after one ring.

“I’m on my way,” she says before I can say anything. “Can I bring anything?”

“Doughnuts,” I say, and I also explain about Vicky’s freak-out.

“No problem,” Carolina says. “Be there soon.” She hangs up, and I roll myself reluctantly out of bed.

“So Ben is definitely coming,” Sofia says nervously. She finally told the rest of the family about him a couple of weeks ago. Vicky couldn’t have cared less who he was; she was just thrilled that Sofia found a date to her wedding. As for my missing date…she hasn’t brought it up in a few weeks. I’m hoping she stuck another relative in there, or better yet, left it empty, so I don’t have to worry about it. I haven’t brought it up because if she’s forgotten about it, I certainly don’t want to be the one to remind her.

“I’d say that’s great,” I say, pulling clothes out of drawers, “but you know what I think. Watch out for the curse.”

“It’s going to be fine,” she says. “What could happen?” This makes us both laugh.

“At least you know he loves you,” I say.

“He’s not like David. At least he’s said it.”

“Most guys aren’t like David,” Sofia says.

“You should give them a chance…well, at least one of them.” She winks. I’ve told her about Leo, but I’ve given her strict instructions to keep me away from him as much as possible.
