“HHSN is new waters for me, but it will be amazing.” JAMILLA sits at her desk for a special late night meeting, with her family members from Vietnam. “You mean WHSN.” Her grandfather DAI promptly corrects her with a stern look on his face. JAMILLA raises a brow which causes her Grandfather’s face to soften. “I feel you should honor this family since your father as become such a disgrace. He is disrespecting your mother’s, my daughters memory and legacy. He is a disgrace prancing around with your friend.” He boldly says as the other family members nod their heads silently agreeing with him. DAI led her mother’s side of the family into great wealth when he founded his own Tech company at the age of twenty-five, so it was natural for that side of the family to cling onto every word he said. “I will be back in the states after I wrap up business here in Asia, we can speak more on this then Jamilla. I also decided to help you set sites on your third location so you may stop whatever it is you do.” He says unsure as to why his granddaughter picked that career path to begin with. 

“Yes Grandfather.” She says with a dry tone not wanting to show much excitement. DAI gracefully nods his head and ends the Zoom call without noticing closing out the chat room. “I’m not calling it that.” She mumbles closing her laptop and removes herself from her desk. “Jamilla can we talk..” Her father says as he walks into the family home as the housekeeper takes his suitcase and goes to place it in its proper spot. JAMILLA turns her body around to father taking a quick moment to look him up and down, “No.” She quickly says and turns back around. “Jamilla its important, but it can wait until the morning.” He sighs before making his way into his at home office. Him having to have the last word causes her to roll her eyes as she makes her way up to her room, while she walks up the stairs she checks her phone and seeing no text messages from neither YASIR or ADAMO. “Mhm...I guess he was really upset.” She says to herself referring to YASIR dislike for being pictured out with ADAMO. “I don’t know how Kristina did it.” She muttered under her breath. She knows she told YASIR she’d break up with ADAMO after the pair slept together at the hollywood sign, but apart of her didn’t feel breaking up with the athlete so hasty would be necessary. ADAMO was always overseas, so why not have a little fun and enjoy both their company. “Men are so sensitive...” She says out loud as she prepares herself for bed.

Bridesmaids Gifts: Prior to the wedding, we did customized proposal boxes for the entire wedding party, to officially ask them to be part of our journey and big day. The bridesmaids had customized wine glasses with their names and titles, and custom mini wine bottles with labels asking them to be in our wedding. My other gift to the bridesmaids included monogrammed robes, slippers, and wedding day jewelry (earrings and bracelet sets with a special note in each one). I also took care of hair and makeup costs, so my ladies could just come and relax.

Groomsmen Gifts: Prior to the wedding, we did customized proposal boxes for the entire wedding party, to officially ask them to be part of our journey and big day. The groomsmen’s gifts included custom cigars, custom shot glasses, and drinks. groomsman was provided with a tuxedo and shoes for the wedding.

Stepping out of the floral shop Chante let out a yawn. Her afternoon had cleared up so she decided to have lunch. Luckily for her she was in an area where there was various restaurants in walking distance. Starting her adventure down the block of the semi busy street she stopped in front of to restaurants window. “Which one” she says out loud to herself while absentmindedly placing a hand on her stomach.

[euphosria]

SOULINE looks around and shrugs lightly, “I don’t know. I just know I had fun doing it.” She chuckles giving CHANTE a hug. “She’ll get over it.” She then says licking over her lips. “Anyway how are you?”

[auphrodisiac]

“You can’t be messing with Cheri like that. She’s my other best friend” Chante says playfully pinching Souline’s side as they hugged. “I need both my maid of honors to get along. I’m okay a little sick” she says not disclosing the news to Souline just yet. Sitting down from her she smiled “how are you ?”

[euphosria]

“Like I said. She’ll be okay relax.” SOULINE lets go of her and goes to sit down, “I’m great I’m ready for these shots and drinks...wait does this place even have alcohol? 

[auphrodisiac]

“I think they serve wine, beer and mixed drinks with hard liquor in it” Chante chuckled at Souline “I mean if you don’t want that there’s a bar down the street we can go to if you want”

[euphosria]

“A bar? That sounds broke.” She says turning up her face. “I want a hennymimsoa...” She ponders barely looking at the menu.

CHERI stands besides her and SOULINE turns her head looking the other way. “Can we go somewhere with menus in english please.” SOULINE blurts out as CHERI does her fake smile for the thirtieth time that day. CHERI eyes grow wide before she calms herself, “That’s not a proper thing to say Souline.” She politely says, “What about this cute little sandwich shop. That sounds fun.” SOULINE looks at her and snaps back, “Its sounds like dry and dull like this coffee you suggested for me to get.” CHERI blinks for a moment and tilts her head to the left, “I said get what you think sounds nice, I don’t drink coffee.” She says again checking the time on her phone. 

[auphrodisiac]

Stepping inside of the restaurant Chante overheard two familiar voices. Following the side of the voices her dark orbs met Cheri and Souline. Her two best friends. Chuckling overhearing their conversation Chante walked over to their table. “Hey babes” she said kissing each of their cheeks. “What are yall up to. I would have never pictured you two together” she teased playfully.

[euphosria]

“We aren’t.” CHERI says looking at the both of them. “I have a committee meeting to attend to.” She then says using that as her excuse to leave SOULINE where she was at. “Bye girl.” SOULINE waves before shrugging her shoulders.

It was late but the contractor had given Castiel allowance to access the estate for the evening, since the construction team had left for day. He'd instructed his driver to pick up Cheri from their temporary residence so that they could both look at the blossoming property together.

@euphosria

[dignifieud]

He stands at the car door waiting for her to get in “did you want to grab dinner or have something made?”

[euphosria]

“Grabbing dinner would be nice...give the everyone at home the night off to do what they want.” She suggest stepping into the car. “What would you like to eat?”

@euphosria

[dignifieud]

“You may be right, your style may be more fitting?” He continues to look around seeing exposed wires and scattered piles of brick, even some rooms stripped down to the beams “this is all they’ve accomplished?” He frowned in confusion. There wasn’t supposed to had been this much construction to begin with and after months of renovations they still weren’t close to finished. “They will be fired in the morning”

[euphosria]

Not wanting anyone to lose their jobs she looks around and thinks of a silly excuse, “Well....maybe.........they...ran out of materials..or something.” She pauses for a moment as she looks. “I’m sure we can honestly pull everything together so we are both happy. I have an idea already in mind. Do you want me to try to come back tomorrow and talk to them. Maybe there is a valid excuse...”

[dignifieud]

“Unless they can promise a finished home by next week I’m not interested in excuses, as much as I appreciate your parents for housing us it is not my home and they’ve had MON..” he takes a deep breath and lets go of her hand “they’ve had months to produce results and I’m not satisfied”

[euphosria]

“I understand...” She says sighing watching him using breath control to ease himself. “You deserve to express this frustration to the construction team. we find a replace team if you want and if you makes you feel comfortable we can find a home in Hidden Springs to rent until everything is done.” She suggest with a small shrug. 

[dignifieud]

Castiel runs his hands over his face before turning to Cheri and kissing her forehead “I apologize for my outburst, I lost myself for a moment” he gave her a tight smile “I’m glad you like what is here so far though”

[euphosria]

“I do and it’s okay. I understand. This is the first time I’ve seen style done in person. I’m used to well my home.” She laughs looking up at him. “Let’s leave before this place causes you to have another outburst around these open wires.” She jokes.

[dignifieud]

“Yeah I feel the same. This makes me feel like I’m home without actually being there” he heads back to the car

[euphosria]

She follows behind him and begins to put her plan in motion so she can present her idea to him. “Thats all thats matters.”

“Well are you okay or would you rather not speak on it?” CHERI takes a hold of his hand and lightly squeezes it. “We can talk about it at your own time, maybe we can set-up an therapy appointment.”

[dignifieud]

“No, we don’t need to concern outsiders with sensitive information” he held her hand giving her a weak awkward smile “I’ll be fine” the driver pulled up to his estate and opened Cheri’s door for her.

[euphosria]

CHERI smiles softly while steps outside of the car and promptly presses and fixes her outfit. This was the first time in a while since she as been to the new house so she wasn’t sure as to what to expect. “Its coming along...”

[dignifieud]

He exited the vehicle after her and gave a satisfied nod at the Cuban style large home. The open courtyard was one of his favorite aspects of the home. He takes Cheri’s hand and walks inside “so when do we meet with decor team? Or have you already handled that?”

[euphosria]

“Oh...it’s beautiful.” She smiles not used to seeing the style of home in person. “Well we can do that together, are you sure the interior of the home is going to match the exterior of the home. We might have to change it around.” She says wide eyed looking around. She follows behind him and keeps looking around.
