710 Natalie Fell For The Wrong Twin
âI donât like the dress,â Arianna grumbled for the umpteenth time already.
âOh come on,â Mimi rolled her eyes towards heaven, âThe color compliments your skin tone well and you feel like a princess already,â She bent and fluffed the tulle.
Arianna was wearing a long flowing lavender tulle bridesmaid dress. It had a double V neck and accentuated her narrow hips with its full skirt flowing down, she would not feel out of place running down castle steps in it.
But Arianna liked Mimiâs daring red dress better with that high split in the side or perhaps, Arianna was merely jealous of her best friendâs body. No matter what Mimi wore, even if it was a rag, she manages to pull off the clothing perfectly. Unlike her, who has to spend hours in the mirror to make sure she looked remotely as perfect as Mimi. It was tiring sometimes.
âArianna, you are perfect. So now stop squirming like a fish and do not embarrass me in front of your sexy brothers-in-law!â Mimi whisper yelled at her while faking a picture of composure to the outsiders.
Arian glanced up at her.
Oh no.
Oh yeah.
She could finally see the problem.
.....
No wonder, Mimi decided to be civilized all of a sudden, she should have known. They were currently in the foyer alongside Ericâs brothers and relatives while the guest waited outside. The wedding was about to begin.
Arianna had earlier introduced Mimi to the rest of Ericâs brothers aka her brothers-in-law and to her shock, her bestie who had always been sociable, suddenly became mute. Mimi had not been able to say a thing, and she had to practically help her shut her jaw.
âShould I remind you that you have Victor,â Arianna told her, turning her eyes away from the brothers who gathered around and laughing at something she had no idea of.
Mimi faced her, âWell, you didnât exactly tell me the Draven brothersâ beauty was on par with Victorâs. And itâs not exactly a crime to admire Godâs wonderfully, specially and beautifully created creatures.â
âMmmhmm,â Arianna nodded her head with her arms crossed on her chest. She didnât believe her one bit.
âI love Victor,â She said, yet added, âHowever, I suddenly wish polyandry is still in practice.â
âOh, I think itâs still in practice in certain states and countries. You just need to uproot your life here and move over there.â
âStop being sarcastic Arianna, it doesnât fit you, â Mimi placed her arm around her shoulder and turned her to face the brothers who wore matching suits, âI mean canât you imagine having these drop-dead gorgeous men warm your bed every night like the females in those reverse harem novels.â
âWell... â Arianna swatted her hand away, there was no way she was letting Mimi fill her mind with such improper thoughts, âThose are novels and you are in reality, Mimi.â
âYes,â Mimi nodded her head, âYou are living my reality right now.â
âTrust me, Iâll give anything in the world to swap places with you.â
Mimi shook her head, âYou are weird.â
âYou are weirder. In fact, I canât begin to comprehend how I became friends with you.â Arianna said and the both of them burst into laughter.
Mimi confessed to her, âAll I can say is that Iâm hornier ever since I became pregnant and Victor is up to the challenge, thankfully. Although, It would have been much easier if Victor was here to diffuse the testosterone in the air. I mean I could literally smell, and taste it on my lips, itâs choking,â She looked at Arianna asking, âDo you think that all pregnant experience this, or am I the only one?â
Yep, too much information.
âI wonât be surprised if you are the only one experiencing that,â Arianna muttered under her breath.
âWhat?â
âI canât tell since Iâm not pregnant,â She told Mimi with a tinge of regret in her tone. Arianna knew deep down that being with Marcel would be so much better if she was pregnant for him. Then, her mother wouldnât have any choice but to accept Marcel and her grandchild.
âMaybe I should ask your mother, and since she doesnât exactly like me because Iâm associated with Luciano, we can take it as a bonding exercise. She canât refuse to advise a pregnant woman young enough to be her daughter,â Mimi planned on using the sympathy card.
âPerhaps, you can do that after sheâs done with her wedding and honeymoon,â Arianna could not imagine Mimi and her mother being besties before the wedding. It was just not possible.
âAlthough I have a question for your mother.â Mimi sure had a lot of energy today and Arianna sighed inwardly.
âWhat now?â
Arianna knew she prayed for a distraction to get through this, but it looks like she got more than what she asked for.
âHow does...â She tactically pointed to Eric and Ephraim, âI mean both of them are identical twins. How does Natalie know not to do it with the wrong twin?â
By now, Arianna wished the ground would open up and swallow her up. Who knew Mimi would be so excited to meet her new family more than her?
She breathed,â For starters, they donât live together and Ephraim is married and is growing out his beards for that same purpose.â
âYeah, sexy beards,â Mimi swooned, staring at the man.
âMimi,â
âIâll have Victor try out a beard too,â
And Arianna could see Victor having a checklist after this was over.
âAlright, letâs look at it from this perspective.â Mimi continued, âPlot twist, it so happens that your mother fell for the wrong twin and it has been Ephraim all along,â
Arianna opened her mouth to speak but Mimi beat her to it.
âAnd Iâm saying all of it happened while they lived together, before he got married and grew the beards. You did say she stayed with them and many things could have happened then. So what if Ephraim is really the one your mother loves and Natalie doesnât know she fell for the wrong twin? â
âIn that case, we pray she never finds out,â Arianna answered smartly while praying in her mind that Mimi goes for a break. Pregnancy was scary.
And the break came in the form of an announcement, âThe bride is coming out!â
