Princess Five (the Thin Line Between Love And Hate) Book 1

the wedding

LUCY POV

Its been only two days since Dante took me out for a romantic dinner and he proposed to me, I am still on cloud nine and shock at the same time, I am just happy that he asked me. I feel myself falling for him which I know for a fact is a bad idea, I know that it's going to end with me in tears and with a broken heart.  As I stare at my reflection in the mirror, a beauty in white (I look really pretty) "I am not ready for this" I tell myself .

"do you guys remember when we where young and we always talked about our weddings in the future?" I asked and there all nod and smiled

"oh yeah Lucy, we used to stay up for hours and just talk about our plans for our future wedding, it was so fun, all those crazy, stupid ideas we had"  Laureen say excited  

"I always thought that I will be feeling excited, ecstatic and incredibly in love. Ah, the blissfulness of getting married, was so carefully planned in my head you know" I said sadly

"oh Lucy don't do this to yourself, you are doing this for your people and don't forget that" Motle said

"are you getting cold feet Lucy?" Kristen asked

"no its not that, I know why I am doing this. its just that I feel weird, like after all my planning and wishful thinking ever since I was young, fairly tales of prince charming and a night and shinning armor pour into imagination, you can in vision the kind of things I have demanded from the milky way the big dipper the constellation  carried dreams of happily ever after....  Guys, I lost my dream" I said sadly

"oh Lucy, you never know. Dante might be your happily ever after, just like I know Matt is mine" Motle said smiling at me

"yeah think of it this way, Dante might be your new dream" Anjelica smiling at me

"I understand what you trying to say but I just feel like all my wishes that I wish upon the stars has been wasted, I have been dreaming about this moment all my life and I always thought I will be getting married to the man of my dreams, a man that I am deeply and crazy in love with, a man that looks at me like I am the only one in the world" I said

"that's the problem Lucy, you wished upon the stars, you should of prayed to the one that has created them" Anjelica said jokingly and I roll my eyes

"sweetie, you are already in love with Dante and he feels something for you, its clear,  you should see the way he looks at you or when his eyes sparkler when you enter the room" Laureen said and everyone nod

"or the way he follows you with his eyes when you are far from him or the way he search the room when he can't find you. you can't miss all this signs, its so cute"  Kristen said

"and Matt told me that its been a long while since he saw he's brother happy and its all because of you" Motle said  and I just nod at them

Laureen took a bottle of Krug Clos Du Mesnil and popped it "its time to start drinking, Champagne anyone" she asked and we all laughed

DANTE'S POV

As I stand at the alter waiting for Lucy to arrived "I can believe I am getting married " I thought to myself , I am standing next to my Uncle and my brother, I am nervous  

"you look like you are about to run" my uncle joke

"I wouldn't dare do that because I know if I run then you will take my place, in a heart beat" I said to him and he laugh

"oh, you know me too well, nephew" he said

The music starts and our guess stands up, I look at the door as Laureen, Anjelica, Motle and then Kristen walks down the aisle in their strapless brown bridesmaids dresses followed by  Lucy and her father , she looks beautiful in a white and brown African wedding dress, my heart starts ponding "holy shit, this is happening for real, man. God she's beautiful, wait! is her dad crying? I hope those are tears of joy....oh, god, does he secretly hate me? of course the man hates me, I took his kingdom, nearly killed him and now I am marrying his only daughter ...........ok she is here, hold her hand, don't get sweaty.....dammit, palms, stop sweating, why the fuck am I nerves" that's all I could think of as Lucy walk down the aisle and as the father hand her over to me
