Page 46 of Faking with the Bad Boy Billionaire

"I'm sorry, babe. I did invite her."

Josie shook her head and wiped at a tear. "It's okay. We both know how she is about things. If it isn't about her, then it isn't worth it."

Steven kissed her gently on the lips, "She is missing out because this," he gestured to their loved ones and then pointed to her, "is worth more than anything else in the world." He stood up and pulled her with him. "Dance with me."

Josie nodded, and they moved to dance while others watched them focus only on one another. It was the perfect night.

Chapter twenty-seven

Josephine

"Goodmorning,sleepingbeauty!"Lana was standing in front of her bed, holding out a cup of coffee. "We have dress shopping to do today since someone decided we only have a couple of months."

Josephine groaned and covered her eyes with the pillow. "Five more minutes."

High heels clacked on the floor, and Stacey's voice was muffled from underneath the pillow. "Let's go, Sunshine! We have a list of things to do today!" Stacey clapped at her, "Up, up, up!"

Josephine threw the covers back and rolled slowly out of bed. "I am hungover from the proposal party last night. Could you give me a minute?"

Lana threw a pair of yoga pants and a crop top at her, "Nope. We are on a limited time where we can go do this." She went to walk out the door, and then she turned around with a smirk on her face, "They have champagne where we are going… I will make sure there is orange juice so that when we call it a mimosa, you will feel better about it." She shrugged and disappeared around the corner while Stacey laughed and followed Lana out.

Josephine put her hair up and walked past Steven with an adoring smile on her face. He winked at her, and Stacey pulled her out of the house.

Dress shopping was easy. She tried on four wedding dresses; three of the dresses were ridiculous. She put the fourth dress on and could see her getting married to Steven in it. She felt it in her bones. It was a lace overlay on top of the nude fabric. The fit and flare style fit her personality perfectly. She smiled and tipped back her glass of champagne to celebrate.

"I will have Georgie hem it up for you fast so it is ready on time. Not too much to adjust here at all." Lana was walking in circles, assessing everything.

Josephine smiled and felt a tear running down her face, "This is really happening. I am marrying Steven Calhoun." She looked over her shoulder at Stacey and Lana, smiling bigger now that she felt it was happening.

"Hell yeah, you are!" Lana was pumped.

Stacey let out a quick "Woo!"

They spent the rest of the morning having brunch, drinking champagne, and picking up some basic things. Josephine was happy Stacey took over as her wedding planner but was also excited to talk to Steven about the important items.

Steven was sitting in the living room doing things on his laptop when the three women walked in, giggling and talking about different events they had gone to where they got to witness some embarrassing stuff. He sat forward and put his laptop on the coffee table. "I see you all had a great morning."

Josephine winked at him awkwardly and tossed her purse on the loveseat, "I picked a dress, and we picked up a few other things. I want to shop for wedding stuff with you, though." She pouted at him and dropped in his lap.

"Well, what are we picking?" Steven kissed her cheek and pulled her tighter to him.

Josephine looked over at Stacey for the list they made, and Stacey rattled it off, "Well, we decided on rose gold, white, and peach for the color palette. We were thinking Roses in peach and white, but if you want lilies, Boss, we can do that."

"No, peach and white would be perfect, but I want red roses on the wedding party table." Steven was pretty sure.

"What if we do that and have one red rose tucked in the centerpieces." Steven nodded at her. "All of the shiny things will be in rose gold. We were thinking either the club rooftop so the beach is in the background for the ceremony and inside for the reception?"

Steven nodded, "I want to see if we can find something else before we settle on the club."

Josephine bopped his nose, and he looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. "I love you, " he said.

Steven shook his head and tried to continue. "What else?"

"Wedding party," Stacey said.

Josephine looked at the two women, "I want Lana as my maid of honor and Stacey as a bridesmaid."

Steven looked over at the two, giggling. "I guess I can ask Dev."
