My Only Redemption ✔️ [COMPLETE]

Chapter 52

Serenity

The family reunion was successful, everyone enjoyed what had been prepared both fine dining and entertainment. The area slowly takes on a scanty
look as they were preparing to leave. I'm very thankful that it had turned out well.

I'm swirling around a beautiful ballroom in the arms of a wonderful man. He expertly guides me through one complex dance pattern after another, perfectly matched to the music playing in the background.

The rhythm changed suddenly, he grabs my hand firmly as we began to waltz. I laughed so loudly, my pores bursting with energy.

Spinning in circles, we shuffled our feet to the beat of the music. It was paradise but even more so when we gazed at each other.

His eyes played a delicate game of limbo between brown and blue, but less blue pigment. They were more of a warm chocolate colour, my knees buckled and a quiver shook my lower lip, such an exquisite Hazel blend

I saw in them, what I had been running from my whole life.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a small chuckle, he leans down to kiss me, just a small peck, that peck was enough to take my breath away. It stringed my nerves along with each touch of his hand.

He pulled his face away from mine and the pace of the music changed, our feet quicken and it was hard to keep up with his movement. My dress was getting in the way and my heels making each turn clumsy.

Or maybe because I was with him, that was making me clumsy.

He noticed my discomfort and changed his stance for my sake, his grip on my hand tightened and he gave it a comforting squeeze, my heart skipped a beat.

A very slow song came on, Jax - like my father and my eyes become bleary with tears, it was one of my favorite. He smiles at slightly, seeing my reaction and pulled my body closer to his, of course I would have done this willingly. I could feel my cheeks burning, his smile grew wider.

We danced together, our bodies close, hand in hand. I couldn't ask for anything more. I was with the man I loved, I've always loved him. It felt like the song lasted forever, yet I never tire. The music slowly went slower, the lights slowly fading.

He wraps his arms even closer around my waist, holding me. His kind smiling face met mine and I felt his sweet warm breath on my face, our lips met and we kissed. After what feels like eternity in his embrace, he pulls away and whispered.

"If there weren't any one around, I'd take you up against the wall."

I gasp, blushing hard.

"You most certainly will not!"

But then his expression drops and he seems really worried.

"I .. I did not mean to --"

"No," he sighs deeply, "your mother hates me."

He sits and I did so as well. My mother has been behaving terribly towards him and it's really upsetting. I gently took hold of his hand and he brought mine to his mouth, pressing his lips there.

My voice barely came across, "Stravos."

He sweeps his eyes to me, the knowledge of that makes him very uneasy. He rakes his whole five fingers through the untidy strands of his hair.

I'm the one he's getting married to and to know his mother in law hated his guts, naturally, will cause discomfort.

"She prefers Glenn over me."

"That is rubbish! I do not want to be with him, why is it so hard for her to see that?"

He takes both of my hands in his and he looks directly in my eyes, the worry there a moment ago fades away and I saw nothing but sincere love.
