Chapter 15 - The Wedding Plan
***AUTHOR's NOTICE: Sorry for the no photos. I was planning on add them with a few more text on the bottom when I realized how big it was. Therefore I don't have any pictures to illustrate this part. I'll leave that up to you're imagination. Sorry again***
It has been a while since Heather graduated. She had moved in with Vincent, despite the fact they weren't together anymore and she had done so for two reasons.
First, she haven't had the opportunity yet to talk to her father and get the necessary funds for a decent house. He was a very busy man, always travelling around. And without him, she lacked resource to buy or build a proper house.
The second reason was the plan. Vincent was still investigating who was responsible for the photos episode. And he needed her help. In order to succesfully find out who it was, he had come up with a plan where they had to simulate a happy relationship. By doing so, it would be easy to analize the behavior of the people close to them. And that because all clues lead to a person that was on their call book. A stranger wouldn't got so far to destroy their relationship without personal gain, so whoever were behind it, it would be on their contact list.
Vincent was well on the way of finding who it was. He had contacted a few friends that had friends in high places and got some clues. But since the investigation is secret, he wasn't very willing to reveal informations, not even to Heather.
Finally the day arrived. The day to pop the question.
"Heather" asked Vincent
"What?" she replied, while reading a gossip magazine
"I need you to do something"
"What?" still not lifting her eyes from the magazine
"Plan the wedding.?"
"WHAT?" she dropped the magizine and stood up quickly
"Well, you do remember that we posted a note at the paper saying that we would get married after your graduation, right?"
"Yeah, I remember"
"Well, you've been here a few days now, and we got to start."
"But, I'm not sure if I want to do that"
"Do what?"
"Marry you"
"I thought we had agreed that we would do it..."
"I know, but..."
"You're not having second thoughts are you?"
"Is just that get married is something I dream ever since I was a little girl. And a fake wedding wasn't part of my plan."
"I know and I'm sorry, H. But we have to do it if we want to catch the bastard"
"Vince..."
"Please, H. Is not like we are bound to stay married our entire life. As soon as I catch that freakin' idiot, we can get a divorce"
"All right then. But you promise me that as soon as you catch that person we will get a divorce?"
"I promise you that if it's that what you want then I'll give it to you"
"Ok."
"You'll get evertything ready?"
"I will. When?"
"As soon as possible"
"Well, that means, three to four months to get a church, to get the catering service and..."
"Heather, I mean it"
"But you said as soon as possible. You don't expect that a church will magically have a day the next week for our wedding, do you?"
"No. But do we really need all that?"
"Dear Vincent. A marriage isn't like grocery shopping. I can't just walk in, get a priest, pay for it and get married like I would eat a cereal bar. Plus there's people I need to invite"
"Wait, how many people are you planning?"
"Well... There's my family, then there's all the VIP list from my hometown, then there's our friends from college and those friends of yours. So I guess that about 100 people should do it."
"100 people... No. No way."
"But..."
"Why don't we do something more private?"
"Private? Ohhh! Like those secret stars wedding??"
"Yeah, like that"
"Then... I guess I could narrow the list down to 50"
"Heather, PRIVATE!"
"Ok then, Mr.I-know-all-about-private-weddings. How many people are you thinking?"
"Like... 10 at most? Couting us in?"
"EIGHT guests ONLY?"
"Well... That's what private means."
"But, but... I can't do it. My family only is 5, not couting grams and granpa."
"Then rule you're family out. It's not like they would make it, right?"
"I guess you're problably right. Mom and Dad are in Europe and my brothers wouldn't care to come. And granpa hate weddings..."
"So. Me, you, a few selected friends..."
"Wait a minute. I know were you want to go. You want to invite all possible suspects aren't you?"
"Now that you mention it... Yeah, that's my idea"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION IT SOONER!?" she yelled, starting to spank him on the shoulder
"Ouch, H. calm down" he replied, dodging the slaps and laughing a little
"You you... AH! I hate you!"
"No you don't. Now calm down and listen to the plan"
A few minutes later, Heather was cooled down and a little excited. The plan was very good indeed.
"So what you need me do, H?" asked Vincent
"Well. You take care of the catering and I'll do the rest. I know a few people that can fix a wedding in 3 days."
"Thanks, Heather. We'll make this work, I promise you. I have a nice lead on who's behind it, I just need confirmation."
"Ok. So who'll be here again?"
"Well. Castor seems a good choice" he said, with a little beliquous tone in his voice
"No can do. I just remembered. He got married."
"What? With whom?"
"Some crazy chick from downtown. Heard that they were about to start a legacy or anything like that"
"Hum... So we can safelly rule him out?"
"Yeah. He sent me pictures of the wedding. Said he was really happy now and wished me the best of luck and said he was sorry to make me cheat on you"
"Right. Ok. Can deal with that. Besides him there's David."
"David? Why him?"
"He might have a crush on you. Plus with the photos taken back in the OGH, he would have plenty opportunity"
"Right. Then include that Kendal girl. I'm sure she's atracted to you. And she belongs to that little club of yours. And I'll add Jen Tellerman as well."
"Why her?"
"She call you a lot. And I sware I saw her swooning at you once."
"And she knows me from the store. Ok. You got a point. And the new neighboors"
"I thought they were your friends."
"They are. But they are the only new people here. Plus the photos happened around the same time they arrived."
"Ok. That's it for the suspect list?"
"No. I'll add Emily Thompson"
"The girl from Luxury Sims? Why? She did such a great job with the greek house!"
"Yeah, I know. But just to be safe. She had access to the OGH and she lives right next door... So..."
"Alrighty then. But we have to invite Tiff."
"And Lakshime. It would seem awkward to invite David and Kendal and not her."
"So that makes 8 guests?"
"Yeah. I'll hire the catering service"
"I'll take care of the decoration and the flowers. And the clothes of course"
"I'll arrange the honeymoon too. What do you think of Bali?"
"Oh Vincent!"
Two days later...
