He puts his hands on his hips. “Oh, I can’t wait to fucking hear this,” he grits out between clenched teeth, walking toward the driver’s side of the car. Once I see him open the door and get in, I follow his lead.
Pretending to look around his car, I try to cut the tension. “This is a nice car.”
“Save it,” Stefano grumbles to me and I can’t help but chuckle. “It’s the same car Levi has.” I roll my lips trying not to laugh out loud.
I don’t say anything as he pulls out of the parking garage and heads straight to Addison’s work. The drive takes five minutes but no one says anything. He pulls into the parking lot and I stare at the house ahead of us. The little bungalow in front is white and looks so inviting. “I love it,” I say, looking at the house. Once the car is stopped, I open the door and get out.
I take a second to look at the side where it looks like a huge barn is. The barn Addison and Stefano got married in not long ago. You can’t tell from the outside how amazing the inside is. It’s rustic with wooden floors and exposed beams that can be dressed up or dressed down. It doesn’t look like it but it’s huge, and I’m sure can fit five hundred people. I know that right behind the barn is a kitchen where the caterers can set up. I accidentally walked into the kitchen while looking for the bathroom.
I also spot a couple of other buildings behind it that I didn’t notice during the wedding. I’m even more intrigued than I was at the wedding. I hear two car doors shut and look back to see both of the men out of the car but on their side of the car. “Okay, you two,” I say to them, “you both need to stop pouting.” I turn before walking up the five steps and pulling open the door.
I take a step in and gasp at how nice it is. There is a desk in the middle of the room that is empty and I look over to where the living room and dining room would be, but instead it’s a waiting room area. It’s filled with cream-colored couches with a glass table in front of them holding a huge bouquet of white and cream roses. The walls are filled with pictures from the past events they’ve done. I step deeper into the room. Walking over to the side, my eyes go from one picture to the next. I hear the clicking of heels coming closer to me and look over at the hallway when I see Addison coming toward us. Her face goes into full-smile mode. “Oh my goodness,” she says, walking in and seeing us here.
She is followed by four other women and all I can do is gawk at them. “I’m sorry, is this an event planning business or a modeling agency?” I ask them and they all smile at me.
“It’s both,” one of the girls replies to me as Addison walks over to Stefano, kissing his lips. “What a great surprise.” She comes to me, leaning in, and she kisses my cheeks before hugging me. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t meet you,” she apologizes, hugging me. “I’m so sorry to hear about Lisa,” she continues and I just nod at her. I guess I should get used to people telling me that.
“Thank you,” I tell her. “So who are these supermodels?”
“These are my bosses,” she introduces, looking over at them. “Shelby, Clarabella, Presley, and of course you remember Sofia,” she says of the woman who married Stefano’s cousin. It was actually at her wedding that Stefano came face-to-face with the daughter he had no idea he had. It was a shock to everyone, but the minute he found out, he was all in. She’s also the best kid I’ve ever met. I mean, I’m not around many kids, but I’m pretty sure she’s the best there is out there.
“I have to say, every single time I look at the barn, I fall more and more in love,” I tell them as I look around.
“Well, thank you very much,” Shelby says, smiling at me.
“What brings you to town?” Clarabella looks at me with a smile.
“Well, funny you should ask that.” I look over at Levi who is standing to the side, away from Stefano. I really hate that I’ve put him in this position with him. I hate I have to drag him in here with me, but I have no other choice. “We need you guys to help us get married.” I look over at Levi, ignoring the four sets of shocked gasps that come out. “Today would be a good day.”
