Chapter 164
Rachel
I woke up the next morning with Massimo kissing me and bringing me my Hazelnut Ice coffee. “Morning sweetheart” “Morning love” “Slept well?” “Like a baby” “How you feeling after yesterday, Bella?” “Still flying high Massimo, I know now about the drop I’ll experienced, I’ll tell you I promise. But we getting married today so there is no time for dropping, I’m too excited.” “There’s always time Bella and when you experience it, we will deal with that first. Promise me Bella.” “I promise Massimo. Now tell me did Dani and Damon come out of hiding yet?” Massimo started laughing. “Yes, the pun was intended.” “No Bella, I haven’t seen them yet.” “I’ll probably will have to drag her away from Damon today for her hair and make-up.” “Let’s give Damon time to explain to her about the high she will experience Bella and off course her drop.” “I will Massimo, the ladies are only coming through later, we have time. I need to get dress, we need to move everything in the dining room.” “Bella you’re not moving anything, I’ll get the men together and you can stand in middle of the room and give orders, how does that sound?” “Jeez Massimo a bunch of men I can order around it sounds like a dream.” “Oh, really now you want to order a lot of men around in your dreams?” “Don’t be jealous Massimo, I only want you.” “You better sweetheart.”
When I got into the dining room Massimo had all the men there, jeez the room was bigger than I thought. “Massimo I’m sure we don’t need everyone?” “Sweetheart that table is solid wood if you want to move it, we’ll at least need 4 people to do that.” “Okay” Francesca joined me “What do you think against that wall, Francesca, away from the windows and that view?” “Definitely Rachel” “Guys can we move the table against this wall?” I walked to the wall and pat it. Everyone said yes and tried to lift the table. Apparently, the table was quite heavy, it took 6 people to move the table, I really didn’t think it was that heavy. Francesca told the guys there were white chairs in the back storage room. “Why do you have white chairs?” I asked surprised and relieved we didn’t think about chairs, I thought we could use the dining room chairs but that wasn’t enough. “The interior designer insisted Massimo buy a few things just in case he wanted to entertain, then we didn’t need to hire some.” “That was clever of her.” “Yes well, I thought it was a waste of money because this will be the first time, we will be using it. But it’s not my place to say anything.” “I would also think it was a waste of money Francesca, but today it's saving my butt.” We both laughed. The men came back with about 20 chairs. Marco came to me “Rachel there is more stuff you want to come and have a look; you might want to use some of it?” “Yes, thank you Marco. Lead the way.” Marco took me to the storage unit, there where cocktail tables, white table cloths, serviettes, gold trimmings, this was a gold mine. “Thank you, Marco, we’ll definitely use some of these. Will you get more guys and bring 5 of these cocktail tables into the dining room. I’ll look for more treasure.” “Sure Rachel” Marco left me alone and I took table cloths from the shelve, gold colour serviettes and on the top shelve there where bows we could use on the chairs or the tables. I took a little step ladder and tried to get to the bows, but it was just out of reach. I stretch myself further to get to it, when Massimo walked into the storage unit. “Bella what are you doing?” I got such a fright I almost fell off the ladder. Massimo caught me just in time. “Sweetheart you have 10 men wanting to help, you could have hurt yourself.” “If you didn’t scare me, I would have almost fell.” He just shook his head. “What are you looking for?” “Those gold bows.” “How many?” “Just 5 please.” Massimo got them and came to me “See how easy it is when you ask for help, it seems I can’t leave you alone for a minute.” “Yes, you can.” “Mmmm” Was all he said. “Wait Massimo what is that stretchy material things?” Massimo got back on the ladder and gave me one. “Oh, this is what I actually was looking for.” “How many Bella?” “5 please.” “Do I need to put the bow away?” “No, I’ll send one of the men if I’m not going to use it.” “Anything else while I’m up here?” “Is there anything like candles or small lamps?” “There’s candles and lamps, which one do you want?” “The candles” he took one of “No sorry the lamps.” “You sure?” “Yes, Massimo, I’m sure.” “And I guess it’s 5?” “Yes, thank you.” He got of the ladder a second time. “This is a gold mine Massimo.” “If you say so Bella, the interior designer said I need it, so I got it but I’ve never used any of it.” “Well, I’m glad you have everything.” He gave me a kiss on the forehead. “Let’s get you inside, it’s cold out here.” “You very patient with me today, Massimo.” “I’m always patient with you Bella.” “If you say so.” We walked into the dinning room and everyone was waiting for me to tell them where everything goes. Massimo was turning around to go to his office. “No mister this is your wedding to, you need to help.” I could see this was not what he wanted to do but he stayed and helped. I asked him where we wanted the Alter, which was flowers and he showed me the same spot I thought of. Right infront of the windows. The men set the chairs to face in that direction and we moved the cocktail tables near the food table. Francesca and I put the table cloths on the cocktail table and the dining table, we made a special space for the cake and put the lamps on the cocktail tables. All that was missing now was the flowers. Everyone left and Massimo and I was the only two standing in the room. He came from behind and held me. “You happy sweetheart?” I started to cry; I gave a very unladylike sniff. “Bella what’s wrong?”
