Finally we reached the pandora store which, by the way was on the third floor. Why are there even so many shops in a shopping mall when all we need is a couple of cloth shops, electronic shops and that's pretty much it. I mean the jewelry shop could obviously merge with a wedding organization company to generate more profits and it would have been more efficient to people.

Actually, we, I mean my friends and I are loyal to the Pandora store. When we were young, Xavier or Nicholas, I don't even remember but it must be one of those shitheads, that suggested that as we would get a partner in our life, we had to gift them a pandora bracelet only and all the friends would top up with one charm each.

For now only Van has hers fully charmed up. Thinking of it now, it was a pretty cool idea. We have our own friendship bracelet us friends and so would our partners. I have always loved the idea of having something in common among us, it gave us recognition and also a sense of belonging.

We were all in our corner choosing something and I remembered that I had to finally buy Amelia a charm because Christian was buying her her first couple bracelet. My design for my charms are pretty simple. I make them a replication of my personality. Well everyone knows that I cherish Christmas and sometimes they would even call me 'Anti-Grinch' because I always am all fizzed up. Right now, it's my favourite time of the year where I am just like a little kid, boiling for thanksgiving to pass by so that I can finally put up my Christmas tree. 

For every friends' partner I have chosen a Christmas bauble

For every friends' partner I have chosen a Christmas bauble. I mean, it is the perfect replication of my personality. First cause I love Christmas and also 'bauble', it's such a cute and funny word. No one can be mad when saying bauble.

The guys were on their own looking for some jewelries when I came across the cutesse of all the jewelries. That would be perfect. It is a charm with tiny baby steps on it. It was so freaking cute that I had to buy that for Vanessa. This would even have a bigger significance because it is their first baby and also a huge step in their lives as well as all of us. I secretly bought it already because I knew if Samuel or Christian would have seen it first, they would have bought it.

"Why don't You marry her then?" Van let out tiny sigh

"Why don't You marry her then?" Van let out tiny sigh. And there it goes again their little bickering. "Samuel, do you know it's still weird for me to see you like that? I mean, who would have expected? You the big CEO and loving your wife so much I mean, it's just awwwwww." Amelia giggled at Samuel's reaction as he gave Van the sweetest look ever with a sad lip roll.
Van being so madly in love and so gullible, she gave him a hug.

Lol, Amelia played that around. She thumbs up Samuel which he reciprocates. It's good, she is quickly making her way in our friend group and she is made for it. After some time while waiting for our main course to be prepared, Christian suggested, "Well you know what, let's say that we are with you on your decision, then let us all meet her? What do you say guys, I will be good to meet up with her and get to know her before the wedding."

"Ohhhh Yes yes yes, Christ high-five, nice, I like it. When can we meet her? Text her, now ask her." OH shit shit shit. How am I going to get myself out of this? Vanessa is too excited now, there is no going back from here. "She might still be working, I'll text her later" I defended myself.
"Oh come on even if I am freaking busy all day, a message from Amelia gets me pumped. I'm sure she won't mind." Christian proposed as he asked me for my phone. While looking for Evy's name on my phone, Christian uttered "Mate, are you serious, you are getting married to her and her name on your phone is Evelyn Williams,... What? That's it?! You only texted her that much?' He said while swiping up and down through our messages to show everyone how little we chat.

"Oh come on, you know how I hate chatting and how Iag behind on replying to messages. To be honest that's too much. We just call each and that's fine. You know the time when people used to call each other to express their feelings unlike sending emotionless messages." Oh gosh the shade is thrown and I know I might get hit later for it but I can only do that to save myself and, I guess I'm relieved that my bad lazy habit saved my ass.

Samuel sent a message on our friend's chat to let everyone know that we might be meeting tomorrow and there would be a surprise. Well to me rather a burden, a nightmare. How I am I going to make up play along, I really don't wanna be nice to her.

I couldn't even text my fiancee properly now. All their heads were into my phone fixing what would be her reply. And to even add on, I would get comments like, "Are you texting her only that?, Dude be more considerate. This doesn't look that you care for her. Don't use abbreviation what are you a teenage girl?" and loads of comments like that. Is there a rope somewhere, where can I hang myself? I have never even have a proper conversation with her since the engagement and now.... Oh my gosh, this is total cringe alert, me and all this affection.

Great, now I have to pick up another nightmare at six thirty tomorrow. I am so nervous, I don't want her to meet my friends yet. I don't think she is worthy enough to hold that place in our friendship.

Within a few minutes, everything was sorted out. We would be dishing out at 'La Grenouille', which is an elegant french restaurant. And obviously when I asked Samuel why he was making such a big deal out of it, I mean going to a fancy restaurant he replied, "Well, if sister-in-law owns an Audi R8, we sure must keep her expectations, don't we?" Ahhh why, just why. This engagement is really getting on my nerves. And what even is that, sister-in-law??? I hate it.

After the dinner, I remembered that I had not yet given the baby charm to Van. As we were getting ready to leave, sipping on our last drink, I kneeled on one knee extending the charm box towards Van, which expectedly received a lot of attention from the other audience. Everyone was looking at us and some even took out their phone to capture what they thought was a proposal.

I promise I just wished that I could capture Samuel's reaction on camera. He was just dumbfounded, he even forgot to react, as if he was lost or something. As I open the box, Van let out a cute but loud, awwww, that's so prettttttyyy. And everyone started clapping and shit.

Only then Samuel came back to reality. What the fuck are you doing? Are you an idiot or what?! "Stop it Stop it!" He said annoyed by all the clapping and cheering. "She's my wife and she's pregnant that's it." He said while showing off his wedding ring and also waving his arm dismissing the phone cameras that was on us.

Van gave me a huge hug and thanked me for the cute gift. We all laughed it off while I had to face the angry and annoyed Samuel all the way through our late night group call.

The group video call was basically my friends eager to meet Evy. They were planning on revealing my whole life to her, which I think is totally unnecessary because I don't even want her to find out anything related to me anymore, she will just return and punch me in the back.

'Guys you know what, just improvise tomorrow, it's not like we are going to be awkward with lack of communication, Daniel will be there remember. We can just go along with his shits." I told them feeling tired of all the plans they were making to get along with Evy.

We were all having some last conversations before hanging up when Christian nonchalantly butted in and I wanted to kill myself for that, "Zackkkkk, you forgot to buy Evelyn her friendship bracelet." Fuck just absolute fuck.

Think Zack, Think you idiot. Reply, make a straight face.

"We are not married yet!!, andddd I think I will give her that as a Christmas gift. Come on where will I find more gifts to give her?" Nice save.

"Couldn't you tell me that before I bought Amelia's" Christian wondered as I was feeling so proud of myself to have come up with such and answer and also with a straight face.
We then after a while ended the call because it was already 10:30
Out of the blue, my phone vibrated and shit!!! Is she serious what's wrong with them? It was a message from the lady who is our wedding planner.
"It's finally ready have a look. I gathered all the details from your parents and they approved this one. Please check the attachment." This message is going to keep me up all night.
