Chapter 63
I woke up feeling not as refreshed as I would have liked to be on my wedding day, we went from club to club with the ladies using the statement “she’s getting married tomorrow” to get us free drinks, I honestly don’t know what time we got home. I sat up opening my eyes slowly to the vision of green flowers that I have never seen before “what is this?” I walked over to them and read the card “To my Luna, love Aid” he makes me smile “how sweet”
“Oh, good you’re up” Lisa said rushing in “what are those anyway?”
“I told you, it’s a rich people thing, it probably represents money or something” Pam said peering her head in the door, I put my hands on my hips and glared at her
“No, it’s not look I google it, green flowers symbolise a good future, see” Sarah shoved her phone in Pam’s face
“So, what he’s saying is that he knows that your future with him will be great, aww that is so sweet” Lisa swooned
“Looks like you hit the jackpot” Sarah added
“Yeah I did, didn’t I?” now I was the one swooning
“What are you girls doing? We’re gonna be late, move it move it” mom scolded
“Wait can I at least have coffee first” I pleaded
“I already poured you one, here” she handed me a hot cup, “now get in there and take a shower” I nodded and closed the door, I went to my bed and sat down, I could hear the frenzy going on behind the door, but I felt at ease, I didn’t want to spend my wedding day in panic mode, I sat and savoured the coffee and stared at the flowers and I was over joyed by their promise, “I wonder if we are supposed to write our own vows, I want the ceremony to be long, I hate it when the reception is the most emphasised, everyone is there to see us get married, yes we will eat and dance after but I want the ceremony to be the main focus, but I have no control over that” I put the empty cup down and went to take a shower.
We arrived at the venue and the ladies were already made up in their dresses with their hair all perfect but I couldn’t do anything in fact I wasn’t allowed to because mom was under strict instructions not to let me do any manual labour, I couldn’t even blow dry my hair, they annoyed me so much with their joy and laughter I mean what if the paparazzi is there and what if they see me like this, it’s very likely that they will be there this is the Alpha’s wedding after all “Oh I’m gonna look stupid” I covered my face with my hands “please let us go in through a back door or something, I can’t have my picture in the Apostol looking like this” I buried my head in my lap
“Stop your worrying, this place is pretty secure, look there is no one around” I looked franticly out the window and was relieved to see it deserted
“Okay, hurry lets go in before someone spots us” I said shoving them out of the limo
“Spots you, you mean” I stuck my tongue out at Pam for her comment and they all laughed, I pushed through them and headed towards the entrance, I breathed a sigh of relief once I was inside, there was a sign that said “Braveheart Wedding Reception” I walked straight towards it, when I think about it, I don’t have a specific colour in mind but the vision that I have in my head from all the celebrity weddings I’ve seen was one of over the top centre pieces and radical colours, I mean my mom’s dress is peach and the bridesmaid dresses are purple, I just can’t find a middle ground with those two colours and the only way to ease this tension is to see the reception beforehand, I walked in and gasped, crystal chandeliers more than I could count hung from the ceiling, green leaves with white roses brought the attention to the golden candelabra centre pieces, China plates lined with silver and gold rounded each table with matching silver wear, wooden chairs with white bows hanging from each one, it was a perfect blend of simple elegance and I had to admit that even if I had been part of the process I would have probably went with this same design, I smiled to myself relieved that my wedding day was going perfectly
“You can take a couple of pictures in here before the ceremony starts” the door opened two men with cameras walked in
“Oh no” I sprinted to the opposite side of the room, opened the first door I could find and rushed through it
“What is that the Luna?”
“Yes it is” and cameras started flashing I froze not knowing what to do, there are cameras back where I just came from and there are cameras right in front of me, I was trapped and to top it all off tears started welling up in my eyes, this is not a good look let alone a good start, how can I call myself Luna after this
“Is this what your wearing?”
“You look like you were out drinking last night”
“Luna over here” my heart raced, and I saw spots from all the flashing cameras, my knees got weak, and I felt myself start to get dizzy
“Woa looks like she is still drunk” at that even more flashes came, and tears started streaming down my face, I felt a firm hand grab my arm and pull me, my head was in a daze, he pulled me back through the reception area and out to the main entrance, he pulled me into a room at this point I was out of it, my mind was buzzing, and my body felt like jelly
“Scar are you alright?” his voice faint in my ears “Scar please snap out of it” I looked up at him
“It’s over Aiden, I can’t do this, I can’t go back out there” I crouched down to the floor sobbing, he crouched down next to me
“Oh, my Scar I didn’t think you’d scare so easily” he said stroking my hair
“I’m serious Aid, I can’t…oh my god the pictures in the paper tomorrow, how can I call myself Luna after this”
“Oh that, that’s nothing have a look at this” he pulled out his phone and showed me a picture of the Apostol’s front page
“Is this you?”
“Yep”
“Why are you naked” I chuckled softly to myself
“Give me a break, I was in middle school, I did it on a dare”
“Oh my, you were so cute even then”
“I know right” he stroked his chin proudly “the point I’m trying to make is that I was in school and thought I was safe but still they managed to take this”
“Your father must have been angry”
“Oh, he was furious” he giggled “but he got over it and believe me if we could get over this we can get over anything”
“I don’t think we can”
“Believe me this picture is nothing compared to the front-page news during my college years, trust me this will be old news in a weeks’ time”
“Now let’s get married shall we?” he got up and offered me his hand to help me up, I got up and he held me tightly and kissed me gently
“Isn’t this bad luck?”
“If it is then I guess we’ll just have to make our own luck” he made my heart flutter and I kissed him deeply feeling at home in his arms
“Alright, let’s go do this”
