Chapter 27
Van POV
I went home while having butterflies at my stomach. I don't know, is it called shivering or maybe I'm just peeing. I laughed at what I thought. Hayst, I've been smiling for a while, I feel like I'm lame while driving, I'm smiling. But who doesn't smile? She kiss me. Bro, that cheek is close to the lip! I didn’t even know I was going to be kissed! Wait, am I happy? This is no longer normal. It's weird, maybe I need to see a psychologist just because of how I feel. I got out of the car with a smile on my face. Ihhhh why don't i want to lose my smile because I'm stupid. I entered the house and saw them all who was in the Living room. Except Von.
"Oh?" I immediately opened it while looking at them. When I enter, their eyes are on me immediately. I sat on the empty sofa and watched them.
"What's up? Wait, where's Papa?" I asked. Dad is gone now.
"With Cleopatra's dad." Fin replied while holding his baby. Now I know why they are all here, that's because of their son Fin.
"Sus, y'all want to see their son, you're going to have one too." I said. They just stared at me.
"You don't know the feeling because you hate kids." Leana said.
"I don't hate kids so, I just don't like them." I will imitate her cocooning.
"What ever Van, by the way. What Happened to your walk with Cleo?" Everyone looked at me from what they heard from Leana. The smile returned to my lips.
"You look stupid with your smile." Creed said. I just smirked at him. You don't even know the feeling of having a butterflies on the stomach!
"We know the feeling of being in love with Van, we just don't know why you're in love with Cleopatra, you want Aphrodite." I lost my smile when Fin said that. I remember Aphrodite again. I saw how Clementine beat Fin. I just took a deep breath then stood up.
"I'm asleep, bye, goodnight." I said goodbye and went up the stairs. I entered my room, I immediately closed the door and went to the terrace of my room. I leaned my hand on the railings and looked around. I looked up at the sky and saw the twinkle of the stars and the light of the moon. Fin is right, why am I in love with Cleopatra when I like Aphrodite? I was holding my chest. I am happy when Cleopatra is with me, I feel free and there is no problem when she is with me. But I like Aphrodite, but I only get hurt every time I’m with Aphrodite because I know I have no hope in her.
I closed my eyes. I'm also confused by how I feel. The next day, I woke up early again. Cleopatra will measure for her gown, I'll just go with her after all, I can't do anything. I saw that they were all at the table. I just took a steak and ate it.
"The next morning you're in shape again, where are you going?" Creed asked.
"I'll go with Cleopatra to size the gown." I answered and took another steak.
"What theme is the wedding?" Leana asked me.
"Royal Wedding is my choice. Fairytale." My answer.
"Did you choose?" Clementine asked.
"Yes, and I'll pay too." I answered and shook my head. "I feel like I'm at a loss because I'm not the one to get married but I'm the one to pay." I said.
"Hey Van, let's just remember, Von will marry Cleopatra and not you." Fin said. I just looked at him.
"I don't know if they're going to get married? They don't really like each other." I said.
"Why you, do you like Cleopatra?" Leona asked.
"Ask the turtle." I said and said goodbye leaving.
I got in my car and immediately drove to Cleopatra's house. I texted her earlier that I would accompany her to the measurement and that she would be picked up as well. She agreed. I got out of my car when I reached Cleopatra's house. I rang the doorbell outside their gate and almost swallowed when I saw Freddrick come out and not Cleopatra. He looked at me.
"Will you attack me again?" I asked.
"Do you want to?" He asked without emotion. Seriously, He is actually Cleopatra's brother. They are both emotionless. Cleopatra is even worse because she is too cold to deal with.
"Cleopatra?" I asked.
"Are you courting my sister?" He asked causing me to choke. Do I look like I'm courting his sister?
"I-i don't know." I replied. His eyes narrowed even more.
"Hey Van Floyd Vaughn. I'm telling you, when my sister cried again because of you. I won't hesitate to fill your body with the bite." He said and suddenly his eyes turned red. I swallowed. I know he's a high class werewolf but I'm still more handsome than him.
"That's enough." We turned around behind Freddrick. I smiled when I saw Cleopatra wearing a plain Black dress while her hair was in a bun, I also saw the necklace I gave her that she is wearing now. She's pretty. She looked at his brother without emotion and then looked at me.
"What did he do to you?" Cleopatra asked me. I looked at Freddrick who raised an eyebrow at me. I swallowed and shook.
"Let's go." Cleopatra said and got into my car. I looked at Freddrick and forced a smile.
"We're leaving." I said and teleported to the back of my car. I turned to Cleopatra first and then started the engine.
"Where is your twins?" She asked. My eyes were just on the road while talking to her.
"He's looking for TOTGA." I replied.
"How's that? Tomorrow we have a family dinner and we need him there." She said. I turned to her.
"Then, take me with you." I said. She looked at me.
"Why you?" She asked.
"Because, Von isn't here." I said while driving. "One more thing, Von and I look like each other." I added. "The only difference between us is the mole on our cheek." She looked at me as if examining my face.
"Yeah, let's just put concealer on your mole and we'll make a mole on your other cheek." She said and smiled something that surprised me again. I feel like I'm about to get used to Cleopatra smiling at me.
"So you're going to take me tomorrow?" I asked.
"Act like Von." She laughed and said that's why I smiled. I stopped the car in front of a famous boutique building. We went inside and people greeted us immediately. They immediately gave Cleopatra pictures of the gowns as we sat down. I also looked at the pictures Cleopatra was holding. I don’t know about gowns but I love the pictures.
"Your gown should be shaped like a queen." I whispered. She turned to me.
"It's too heavy to be too proud," she said. "It should be simple." She added so my forehead wrinkled.
"Hey, Fairytale is the theme of your wedding. Royal Wedding. You are the queen there and you will marry the king." I said. She just rolled her eyes.
"Why did you choose that?" She asked.
"That's what I want." I replied. She blinked and looked at another gown. She took a picture and showed it to me.
"Where better?" She asked. I also looked at the picture. They are both beautiful. It looks like a wedding gown for a queen.
"Same." I replied.
"Just one Van, only one I can afford to buy." She said.
"I will buy one." I said and leaned back in my chair. She looked at me. I took the two pics and gave them to the woman who was assisting us.
"Here it is, nothing will change in color." I said.
"Van." She has the authority to call me.
"What?" I smiled at the question.
"I'm just asking you what's good, I didn't say that will buy right away." She said. I laughed because she was obviously surprised.
"Eh, choose someone else, that's what you pay, I'll pay for both gown earlier." I said. She glared at me.
"Van, don't you notice that you're at a loss?" She asked. I reached for my hand and thought.
"Am I at a loss? How did you say that?" I asked. She blinked.
"Because I'm not going to marry you but you're the one who spends." She said.
I grabbed my chin and looked at her.
"Of course not." I said and brought my face close to her face causing her to be surprised.
"Then, marry me."
