in an open relationship 2

Prestigious people cancelled their plans to be here , I tried peaking out the window to see who is here but I can't since my room is on the first floor if I were at the second I would've had a better glance at the guests, I only know who's here by their social media accounts.many were more than excited to cancel their plans to be here and some found an excuse to wear those fancy clothes they had in their safe room for a special emergency.

The sudden wedding is the one number twitter hashtag, I read the various tweets of the excited individuals who are waiting for the show to air , many have posted pictures with their families and huge bowls of popcorn in front of them, some are alone with their coffees and blankets anxiously counting down the seconds to 6pm.

I'm also waiting for the clock to hit 6 ,the make-up artist left an hour ago she was too excited to see the famous guests that she heard were also coming, I'm a bit taken aback by her reaction, her job consists of regularly meeting famous people, she does makeup on the Sanders Cast everyday but the way she gets so excited about famous people I would've sworn this is her first time meeting someone she's seen on her TV screen .

On many different occasions I get introduced to different Laurens , I don't recognise myself in this dress . in this face . In this entire look . I know this is me because the mirror keeps imitating my movements. I know my dad is going to be the first person to cry when he sees me , Caitlyn would've too if she didn't feel the way she feels about Ethan and about this wedding.

" Lauren?, can I come in ?!" She shouts.

I can never mistake that voice at this point I know her by her breathing and walking .

She lets herself in anyway , I look at the door knob to see if there's a key but its empty.

" They are never there when you need them " I mutter as my face lifts in irritation  .

She's wearing a tight white dress with white heels ,  now I see why people tend to have themes for their weddings, her dress isn't my concern, it's how and why she is here.

" Don't give me that eye bridezilla, relax ,I won't do to you what you did to me " she closes the door and walks towards me.

" I'm not in the mood for you Sarah , what are you doing here ?".

" I was invited",her hands are behind her back.

Her hair catches my attention, she's wearing a lace (expensive weave)......, She must've gotten a job because the broke Sarah I know couldn't afford that.

" By whom ?, Ethan's dad ?" I ask trying to not sound or look like a bridezilla.

" Nope ,the groom " .

" You are lying, get out before you make me mad on my wedding day ".

She slowly draws in on me ,my heart starts pounding rapidly but externally I'm beyond composed .

" But you made me mad on mine " a wicked grin appears on the corner of her lips .

" Sarah get out or I will scream " I would stand up to fight her but I'm scared for the baby's life .

Her eyes widen," with all the joy and chaos going on outside I doubt anyone with be able to differentiate between a joyous scream and a help alert ".

My tongue gets caught. She doesn't get any closer to me but walks all the way to the bed and sits on the edge .

" I had to play nice to you because of Ethan , even I am afraid of him these days but " she sighs," like I said I'll never forgive you Lauren,today my Angels have presented me with an opportunity to get my revenge, tell me what would stop me from drugging you right now and taking your place " she laughs ," oops I mean *and take back my place ". She says still sitting down.

I try to think of something to rescue myself but my butt is stuck on the seat , maybe because I feel guilty,what she's saying isn't false ,I'd be embarrassed if she were to do the same thing to me , my insides are sweating, the thought of her taking her revenge shortens my air supply.

" Ethan hates betrayal " I explain.

" Yes but he'll eventually forgive me like he has forgiven you once I win his heart back ".

" What makes you so certain that he'll fall for you again?" I ask politely.

" Even after what I've done he still treats me like an actual human,he's always there when I need him , for my sake he went through all that trouble just to put you through hell so winning back his heart won't be a problem" .

" What are you talking about?" ,She makes it seem as if she's  friends with Ethan , It was that one time at the twins birthday party he had to talk to her .

She chuckles," I'm saying that I'm here to take back my place,sure Ethan will get mad but he'll forgive me after some time and everything will be the way it was supposed to be ".

" What about the public?, People will hate you ".

" I'm sure Ethan will find a twisted story for them to believe, he's good at that isn't he?".

She brings her hand to the front to expose the blue chemical in the transparent bottle with a white cloth next to it.

The sight of the bottle makes me start sweating externally" Are you sure he's going to forgive you ?" .

" Why won't he ?".

" What if that thing kills his child ?" I look at my stomach.

Her eyes follow," you are not pregnant ".

I laugh ," says who ?, When two married adults share a house and a bed a baby does not come by surprise, why do you think he wants to marry me and set things right again?, If something happens to me or the child do you really think he'll open the door for you to his house ?, Give you the unlimited card ?, Or my cars? " I lie with a provoking smirk.

I'm less worried about her running her mouth about me being pregnant than I am of being drugged, in the state that I am in if she does then something bad might happen to me which might cause the truth about the child to be exposed and I'm not ready for that yet .

The look in her eyes give away the defeat that's in her heart as her defences break .

" Imagine the hatred he'd have towards you , you'll see a side that even I never got to see . You'll never know with this Ethan ,he might chop you up and cover up your murder so well and with resources that he has he will never get caught, need I remind you that he might look the same and has the same personality towards others but the honest truth is that he's not the Ethan you and I know " I destroy the tiny bit of strength she had left.

A loud bell that rings and someone announces on the intercom that the ceremony is going to start in 10 minutes .

We both turn our attention outside," do what you must before your time runs out , a lot of people have death wishes these days you wouldn't be the only one " I say gently rising to my feet .

Her hesitation lingers for a while as we stare into each other's eyes , in pure rage she storms out of the room without looking back .

I let out a huge breath and a tear of relief , anything could've happened I barely managed to keep my composure. I put my hand over my heart listening to it as it slows back down.

What I did was cruel ,I can imagine being excited for my wedding day ,with the joyous nerves passing through my vessels and then someone comes in and takes it all away in one go ,my ambitions and my life , waking up the next day to my future husband already married to another.

I must stop being cocky towards her , I owe her that much ... It's just that her attitude gets to me to a point where I can't stand her .
