Chapter Three Hundred and Eight-Five

Max POV

It has been one month since George's wedding and also one month since I fixed the date for my wedding, we have two months left before D-Day and I can't wait to tie the knot with Ella. George told me that he will be moving in with Sarah in their family mansion, I already expected that from the moment he tied the knot with Sarah, it was inevitable, but I am not ready to move in with my family mansion after I got married to Ella. The reason is that I need my privacy and our mansion is not as big as George's also I have siblings, who don't know how to mind their business but I don't intend to live in this condo unit after I get married cause I want big family, four kids at least. I will meet with George to discuss him designing a house for me.

After spending one week with Ella during the time George was on his honeymoon, I will say that our relationship has progressed, we become more intimate and it was the best experience I have ever had with a woman in my life. Yeah, I was a womaniser but having carnal knowledge of Ella was special, no woman I have been with can beat that. Our emotions were involved each time we are together and each time seem to be the first time we are being together, I can't wait to get married to her so that she can move in permanently with me. I love her so much, and can't imagine a life without her, it will surely be meaningless. Am in my condo sitting on the balcony, staring at the sky when my phone started ringing, I checked the caller and it turned out to be my mother. I groaned loudly, My mother is driving me insane, this is the hundredth time she is calling me today.

I think she just come up with one brilliant idea and decided to tell me about it. Here I was thinking that telling her that Ella and I are getting married will get her off my back, but who am I kidding, it was the beginning of my nightmare. She hardly calls Ella, her excuse is that Ella needs the same mind for her wedding and that means that I am the one that needs to go crazy before the wedding. I accepted the call cause ignoring or rejecting it is out of the question, else you will see her matching down here and that is the last thing I want. I don't want her invading my space. Hello Mum, I greeted her. Max dear, I have a wonderful idea that I want to share with you, she said. Okay, am all ears, I responded. So I was discussing with the person in charge of the flowers and I suggested to her that we should use all the flowers that were present when Ella proposed to you, so what do you think of that? She asked. I can't believe this is why she disturbed my relaxing moment.

I think that is a great idea, it will be like recreating the proposal, Mum you are such a genius, I hyped her cause she lives by it. Of course, you should know by now that your mother is the best when it comes to this, too bad that Ella's mother is no more if she is alive the two of us will be good friends while planning this wedding, My mother said. M am sure that Ella is happy that you are here doing all this, am sure that she appreciates all this, I told her. Okay, Max, I will leave you to continue with whatever you are doing cause I need to call the flower girl and tell her to go on with the plan, My mother told me and ended the call. At least this time the call did not last long like before, I dialled Ella's number to have the evening chat with her, but I did not get to see her today cause she went for a fitting with Sarah and her mother and am not allowed to see her, it will bring bad luck they said. She picked her to call as soon as it rang. Hi love, I greeted her. Hi, how are you? She asked but I can tell from her tone that something is not right.

Are you okay? You sound like a wrecked train, I asked her. Yeah, cause I have been wrecked by Sarah and Mummy Laura, I thought it's only fitting but Sarah has another plan up her sleeves, I don't know when she knows so much about fashion, Ella complained. Here I am thinking that am the only one having a bad day, I uttered cause I understand how stressful it is listening to everyone's opinions. I guess that your mother is still calling you to tell you about her brilliant idea, Ella said laughing. Haha, very funny, I muttered. Sorry, I don't mean to, am just wondering why she is not calling me instead, why though? She asked. Well, am not the one you should ask that, my mother is the one in the best position to answer that question, I told her. Okay, let's stop talking about our stress cause it's more stressful if we continue to talk about it, Ella said. Okay, how is my favourite person doing tonight? I asked her to change the topic as she requested.

Apart from Sarah stressing me, am fine and I miss you badly, Ella answered. I miss you too and am so lonely here, I don't know how to cope with the next coming months before our wedding since George will be moving permanently to their mansion, I complained trying to buy her pity. I understand how lonely that will be, I will be coming to spend the weekend with you till we get married, that way it will be less lonely until I move permanently with you, Ella suggested. Babe, let's make it every two days, the weekend is very far, I tried to bargain cause I can't get enough of her. Take the weekend or I will not come at all, she threatened. Sometimes she can be really scary and I know better not to dare her or she will carry out her threat, like they say half bread is better than none.
