Chapter 338 - Single Life

"Is it today?" She questioned as she looked up to see her friend standing outside the door.

It was the weekend, and she was planning to stay all day at home before their dinner at her parents\' house. But Jacky suddenly showed up on Alex\'s doorstep, all chirpy and bright, so early in the morning.

"Yes, it is." Jacky strode inside the apartment and made herself comfortable. "I need you to go to your room and get dressed. We have a lot of things to do today." She added.

She worked her way to the kitchen to fix coffee and some breakfast. She was hungry since she woke up early to pick her up for their appointments for today.

She had a long list of things to do and little time to accomplish everything. She had no time for complaints and idle chitchats. But she was glad she was spending today with her best friend.

"Well, I guess I have no choice because you are not going away." Dani walked back to her room, leaving her friend to get prepared.

As much as she wanted to stay, she also was excited to go out with Jacky. It had been a long time since they had a girl\'s bonding. It was the perfect day to have fun with one of the people she loved.

"Who was that?" He asked as he stretched on the bed and stared at her, showing off his muscular chest. "Come back to bed." He patted the sheet next to him, asking her to lay back beside him.

Whoever interrupted their sleep must be someone she knew since she only smiled at him but did not return to bed. Instead, she moved closer to him and sat on the edge near him.

"It is Jacky. I forgot that we have somewhere to go today. I\'m sorry I have to leave you for a while." She regretfully told him as she leaned down close to him, touching his cheeks with her fingers, feeling the morning stubbles of his beard.

"Where are you two going?" He asked, curious of their plans. He was disappointed that she was leaving so early. However, he was also happy that she was spending some time having fun with her friend.

"I have no idea. Jacky planned the whole thing. We will probably go shopping or end up in a salon. Just some girly things." She shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she was clueless.

She could only guess. With Jacky, she could never be too sure. But she could trust Jacky that it would not be too crazy. It would be the right kind of fun.

"Is there any way I can persuade you to stay?" He pulled her closer until his lips were barely touching hers, coercing her to change her mind.

After the week that both of them had been working overtime. This weekend was the only time that Alex could have her all to himself. Therefore, he would try if he could convince her to stay.

"I wish I could stay, but Jacky is looking forward to this. I can\'t disappoint her again." She had been canceling on Jacky several times. She could not do that to her again today.

"I understand." At least he tried, he thought. "It is just a shame that you would be missing out on this all day." He pointed to his naked chest shamelessly, trying for one last attempt to seduce her.

"I am sure that it will still be right where I left it when I come back." She kiddingly answered him as she gave him one quick kiss before standing up and walking to the adjoining bathroom.

"Are you sure you don\'t want to change your mind?" Alex still laid on the bed when she came out, ready to leave.

"I will be back before our dinner." She promised him. "Why don\'t you take this time to rest?" Kissing him one last time before walking out of their room.

She would have to make up to him tonight after dinner. She could not back out on her plan with Jacky. Besides, she was also excited to be out with her friend again after a long time.

"Where are we going?" Dani asked after drinking half of the coffee she offered and finishing a toast she made.

"As your maid of honor, I should take charge of your bridal needs." She hooked her hands on her as they rode the elevator down on the parking lot.

"What do you mean?" She was confused since she had never asked Jacky to handle her wedding preparation. Her mother and Katherine were doing the job quite nicely.

"I think you were always busy, working so hard that you hardly did anything to prepare for your wedding. So, I am stepping up to make sure that all will run smoothly from now on." Jacky informed her.

"Did my mom put you up to this?" She could only guess that her mother would have something to do with it since she had been bugging her about the preparation.

She suddenly did feel guilty, remembering that her mom was also busy taking care of his dad. Dealing with her wedding must be frustrating for her since she was not a very cooperative bride.

Her mom probably decided to pass off her responsibility to Jacky, thinking she might have better luck, making her move her ass and think of her wedding.

"Yes, but she was just concerned that the preparations were way behind schedule. Besides, I am better at this." She confidently said as they drove to their first destination.

Jacky was good at organizing things. That was why she hired her to be her assistant. She also had many connections, making her job easier when she required help.

She was very resourceful, a talent that was innate to her. Dani knew it would be impossible to find someone as good as her. Jacky was one in a million and her only best friend.

"I guess both of you are right. I want so much to get married to Alex, but I barely accomplish anything for the wedding." She finally admitted her shortcoming, glad that her friend was now on top of the situation.

"Then, let us go first to our dress fitting. You had put off Ms. Laverne for far too long." Jacky would know. She was the one who kept making excuses for her.

"Oh, yeah. How can I get married without a dress?" Dani laughed at the situation as she looked at Jacky on the wheel.

Since this was Jacky\'s plan, she let her take the lead. She took the passenger seat and sat comfortably while her friend made all the arrangements.

"Precisely. Ding, ding, ding." Jacky said, clicking her tongue in agreement. She acted like her friend just guessed the correct answer, and she deserved a prize.

"What do we do after fitting our dress?" She asked excitedly. She could never think of anyone else she would rather be doing all of this with, except for her best friend.

"We go get ourselves pampered. Then, we picked a date for your bachelorette party." Jacky laid out her plans for the day. "You are getting married soon. I want to give you the best last day of your single life."
