Rockstar Daddy (Decoy Series) (31 page)

      "Wow"

   "Yea they have done great right? Sophie and Maisy are in there."

We make our way over to the humongous white marquee, no actually its a tent, a circus tent. When we enter there's a scatter of circle tables with navy table cloths drapped over them with chairs the same as the ones outside around them. Sophie and Maisy are talking near a long table which is obviously the top table. Sophie runs over and hugs me tight. This is where we will be eating after the ceremony and once the reception starts this is where the DJ will be set up and be the main dancing area. We spend the night very much like when we spent the night before. Champagne and giggles. The girls question me over Jax obviously, Sophie and Maisy are still the romantic's and think tomorrow he will put on the moves. As much as that makes me giddy and hopeful I don't want him to make a move. I don't think that's a good idea.

   After a lot of girly chatter all the excitement for tomorrow, face masks and a huge takeaway meal Sophie shows us to where we will be sleeping. She opens a door and it's all white apart from the pink sheets on the two double beds, we're staying in the same room. Which means we can all stay together tonight. On one side of the girly sleepover room are the four black dress bags with our names in italic pink writing. While the girls get ready for bed and unpack I go and call my dad to check up on Finley

     
"Hey kiddo."

I love hearing my dads deep voice, it makes me feel like I'm home.

      "Hey dad, how's Fin?"

   "Still asleep. How's it going over there?"

       "A lot of fun."

    "Listen, ya friends getting married to Rhys and me and ya mum have seen the papers angel. Just tell me the truth. Is it Decoy's Jax who is Finley's dad?"

Fucking hell, I knew I should have told them first. We shouldn't be doing this on the phone but his asked me for the truth.

      "It's true dad, we was together when I was in college. I found out I was pregnant and decided not to tell him and leave him. I know it was a shit thing to do dad but I couldn't end his dream before it began. I rea-"

   "Kendal stop."

I freeze my talking and wait for it.

     
"I can understand what ya did but it doesn't mean it was a good idea angel. Ya have  to tell him Kendal, we will talk more when I see ya OK?"

   "OK dad."

      "Alright angel, I'll see ya when ya in the morning."

   "Oh dad, I'm telling him on Sunday by the way."

     
"That's good angel. Bye."

I stare at my phone after I hang up and get ahold of myself. Now my mum and dad know exactly who Finley's dad is. My dad will definitely give me his disapproving eyes when I see him in the morning to see Finley before the wedding.

Chapter 22

   "Remember my cake mummy."

I smile at me gorgeous son. I have just spent three hours at my parents house so I can see Finley before I have to start getting ready. I think his mentioned wedding cake about ten times since I've been here.

      "I won't forget the cake Fin."

   "Good mummy because I like cake."

After giving Finley about a thousand kisses I leave and get in my car and see I have a text from Jessica.

JESSICA:  Remember 2 get pics from mine

Honestly the woman hasn't given me the chance to forget. She has sent me a text every hour. After getting the gifts for Sophie from Jessica's, which Sam wasn't happy with because I woke him early on a Saturday morning.
When I walk into Sophies house Tanya grabs me by the arm and leads me upstairs.

      "Thank god you're here, Sophie's a nervous wreck. She wants us all showered now."

I'm taken to a big room which is obviously the bridal room for today. Theres three white dressing tables along one wall, on the other side of the room are five floor length mirrors and theres chairs scattered around the room. Music is quietly playing as background noise, theres Champagne bottles on one of the dressing tables along with a huge bunch of flowers. Sophie walks in with her huge white dress bag as soon as her eyes land on me I see her relax a little, only slightly.

      "Oh there you are!"

   "Sorry, I went to go and see Finley."

She waves my apology away.

      "Don't be silly, I understand. Now you two go shower and then we can all have some breakfast. Make sure you bring your dresses in here and anything else you need to get ready."

On our way back to the room we slept in we see Maisy and Jessica walking towards us, dress bags in hand. We smile at each other and say a quick 'hi' not bothering to stop. Sophie gave us her orders and we're going to obey. I think we're all a little scared if anything goes even slightly off plan or we're not on time with her schedule she might freak out on us.

   After a very quick shower I wrap myself in a towel and dry my hair upside down style. I make sure my roots are dry and then dress in the white dressing gown Sophie supplied for us all in the bathroom. I grab my dress bag and gather my make up bag and everything I need for my hair. Tanya just beats me to the bridal room but Sophies not here yet.

      "Kendal be a babe and dry my hair."

   "You have been waiting for me to dry your hair?"

      "What's the point of having a hairdresser friend when she won't do your hair on an important day like today?"

Maisy sits down at the dressing table next to her.

      "Yea, come on Tan. Sophie did ask you to do our hair."

Tanya scoffs.

      "Yea style it not blow dry it. Lazy bitches."

We get to it anyway and by the time we have finished Sophie returns so she takes Jessica's place and I gladly dry her hair for her. Giving it plenty of volume and loose curls. Hair all dried we make our way down to the dining room and eagerly eat our late breakfast. I hear a low snuffle and look to my left, Sophie is wiping away a few tears.

      "Ohhh Soph."

I wrap my arms around her and she laughs a little.

      "Oh don't mind me. I'm just all emotional today."

Jessica grips her shoulder on her other side.

      "It's your wedding day. It's like the law to cry on your wedding day."

   "And today is the day I meet my future rich husband. The guys are sexy right?"

And just like that we laugh and Sophie's tears have gone for now, thanks to Tanya. Jessica and Maisy disappear and me and Tanya talk excitedly about today to keep her distracted. I don't think it works, how are you not going to notice two girls out of a group of five have gone. She doesn't ask though which is good. When they return there holding three large red bags and a long box wrapped up. The bags are huge, like the size of my 32 inch TV at home! Me and Tanya get up and help them out and Sophie just sits there in silence. We all face her, each holding something and giggle. She laughs back.

      "Oh guys! I didn't expect you  to get anything."

We ignore her and Maisy tells her,

      "We all chose your wedding gifts Sophie. We hope you like them."

Jessica and Maisy lay there big bags on the table. Maisy slides one over to her and Sophie pulls out four blue gift wrapped presents. There all A4 sized and chunky. She rips the first one along the top and gasps, placing her hand over her mouth. We all see her teary eyes and stand closer so we can see which one she has opened. Her wedding presents from us are the pictures from her hen trip to Barcelona. These are four A4 sized canvas prints two in black and white and two in colour. The one she has opened is a beautiful one. There all beautiful but I really like this one, I have had this one printed for myself. In this picture were all standing with our backs to the camera looking out at the sea. Sophies in the middle, I'm on her right hand side with my head resting on her shoulder, arm around her back and she has her arm round me. Maisy is standing close to my side but you can we are holding each others hands. On Sophies left shes holding Tanya's hand and next to Tanya, Jessica has both her arms wrapped round Tanya's waist, hugging her. The sun is shining above us, its really beautiful. Sophie looks up to us all with a mixture of awe and emotion.

      "Oh my god guys, I love it."

Her voice breaks a little as she speaks.

      "Well, you have more to open honey."

She places the canvas down gently and grabs another eagerly. This is a colour one from my camera, where all on the yacht and lying on our stomachs in our bikinis, hand on our chins and legs criss crossed behind us with our feet in the air. Were all smiling big cheesy grins at the camera, the view of the ocean behind us is amazing. The third is the picture we asked the waiter in the hotel to take of us before we all we went out clubbing on the last night. We all look stunning and sexy each with our sun kissed skin and the fourth canvas is a black and white canvas of us all in the sea splashing and laughing. She sets them down in a large square. The black and white and colour pictures diagonal.

      "I love them girls, there beautiful."

   "Don't thank us yet, you have more."

Jessica gives her the other red bag on the table. These last two bags are not wrapped. These are two bigger prints but in colour. She slides the first out the bag and smiles.

      "Oh my god! I Can remember us all laughing at Sophia making us do this."

Sophia had laid down on the sand with her camera pointed up to the sky. She told us all to stand around her and lean over the camera. It felt really silly and we were all laughing. It made a great picture though, our heads huddled in a circle, hair falling down our happy faces with the sun and bright blue sky peaking out behind our heads. This one I have also a copy for myself.

      "It's a great picture."

Sophie stares at the picture with a huge smile on her face.

      "Here's another one Soph."

I hand her the last canvas print, we all wanted her to have this one last as it's our favourite picture. She reaches into the bag and tells me to pull the bag off. I do as I'm told and by the look on her face this picture is her favourite too.

      "Wow."

It's like the other picture of us where we have our backs to the camera. This one is in bright colour and we are all facing the camera, sun shining on the glistening sea behind us. Were all in the same pose as the black and white one but on this one where all laughing towards the camera. All bare footed and in our beach wear. Sophie looks up at us all.

      "Girls I love them. I can't believe they turned out like this and you did this for me. I can't wait to show Rhys."

We all hug it out and then Tanya reminds us were not done.

      "There's still one big present left that I'm sure Rhys will love."

We move away so Tanya can pass her the long wrapped present. When she realizes what it is she bursts out laughing.

      "Let me guess, this was Tanya's idea."
