'THAT ANNOYING, EGOISTIC PERSON!' I was basically stomping towards my office.
First he doesn't talk to me this whole month!
And then what does he do!?
He spends more time with Jennette or mysteriously disappears!
I know their just working and I know that between then is strictly only work.
But still I wanted Lucas to spend some time with me.
Then now!?
Now he decided to ruin my papers!
What the heck!
What's wrong with this person's idiotic mind!
"Lucas! How dare you shred those documents!" I yelled slamming open the door to mine and Jennettes office.
The light was off.
Strange...
Shouldn't Jennette be in here...
Why isn't the light on...?
I tapped the switch to on the lights.
"Suprise!" I saw Lucas and amaranth holding a cake while Jennette, Kiran and Felix stood at my left and lily, miss aurora and sir ace stood at the right side.
"Happy birthday!" Lucas and amaranth said.
I just stood there.
I would be touched.
I really would've been.
If I wasn't pissed at Lucas still.
I faked a smile because Amaranth was there.
"Awe! Thank you guys!" I said.
"Sissy make a wish and blow the candle!" Amaranth said.
'Make a wish...?'
'i wish... That everyone will stay happy...' I thought blowing the candles.
I knew it wasn't possible for everyone to stay healthy.
We would all die eventually.
But at least let us die happy....
I heard a round of applause.
Lucas and Amaranth put the cake on the coffee table.
It was a chocolate cake with the numbers 23 on it.
I'm not going to bother counting the candles but I bet there are 23 too.
It was a sponge cake and it had little swirls of whipped cream on top.
In the center next to the numbers was a chocolate bar sticking out.
"Try it! I made it myself!" Miss aurora said.
Of course she did.
Only she, Amaranth and lily can bake.
Lucas is still hopeless!
Sir ace....
I honestly don't know....
I've never seen him cook or bake before so I assume he doesn't know.
I cut a slice and placed it in my mouth.
'Its so sweet...' I thought.
"Thank you miss aurora it's very nice." I said.
"Mara helped wih the decorations." Miss aurora said.
"Wow! Good job Mara!" I said petting her head.
"I did good didn't I?" Amaranth asked.
I nodded.
Amaranth stopped talking on third person a month ago.
She still does it to act cute or when she's nervous though.
"I would've helped but as you can see my hands are full and I'm tired...." Lily said.
She was holding Athena.
Despite my protest they both still named her Athena.
Athena is 3 years old.
"Lily you should've just stayed at home." I told her.
"And miss your birthday celebration? No!" Lily said.
Athena had silver eyes and brunette hair.
We did try to have a gender reveal party...
But lily had secretly looked at the envelope which she gave me which had the babys gender.
So when we did do it before she even popped the balloon to see what colour confetti came out she was just screaming.
"ITS A GIRL!"
When Athena was first born we thought she had blue eyes.
But as time went on it became silver.
Also lily kept on apologizing for everything she ever said to Felix.
There were alot of insults...
At some point I stopped Amaranth from going near lily when Felix was there since all lily does is insult him in colourful langues.
And when she was giving birth?
I had to take amaranth away so she wouldn't hear lily's....
Words.
"Did I make a good plan to lure you here?" Lucas asked me.
"The plan was AMAZING Lucas, I'm SO IMPRESSED! I would've NEVER thought of it!" I said sarcastically.
"Okay! Be mad at me later. Just enjoy your birthday for now." Lucas told me.
"Miss robber are you seriously mad about that?" Kiran questioned me.
Kiran still calls me miss robber...
Welp..
"Can you blame me? This is very important. It's like if someone threw away your homework which you needed to summit won't you be mad?" I questioned.
Kiran nodded.
"You horrible, brother." Kiran said.
"Huh!? When did you start taking her side! I thought you were on mine!" Lucas complained.
"You didn't say a word to me multiple times before going out, Miss robber may be a better sibling then you." Kiran rebutted.
"Sissy! Ah!" I turned and saw Amaranth holding out a piece of cake.
I gladly took it and smiled.
"Ara, can we switch siblings?" Kiran asked.
Amaranth to my surprise straight up glared at Kiran.
"No. Over my dead body." Amaranth said.
"Okay! I'm sorry! Bad joke!" Kiran said holding his hands up in defeat.
"Athy." Jennette called me.
"Hm?" I replied.
"Your fired."
"..."
What...?
"I'm sorry was that rude!? I just tried to do what Lucas told me was the best idea!!!!" Jennette said breaking her serious face and apologizing.
"Can one of you explain?" I said utterly confused.
"Your free." Lucas said.
"You can go do what you like now athy." Felix said.
"Athy, you can go back to your acting now. Just leave the company to the now capable hands after four years of practice to your cousin." Jennette said.
"Your not joking right...?" I asked.
"Nope!" Lucas and Jennette said.
"Your serious...."
"Dead serious." Lucas said.
"Wait but Jennette... Are you happy?" I asked.
"I think you've seen how much I enjoy it." Jennette replied.
My eyes stang.
"Why are you crying! You should be giving me and Jennette a hug, mainly me." Lucas said.
I ignored him and hugged Jennette.
"Thank you..." I mumbled.
"It's no problem. I owe it to you athy." Jennette said as she returned my hug.
"What about my hug?" Lucas whined.
"You don't get one!" I said through my sniffles.
I let go of Jennette and went to eat the cake.
"Are you mad at me athy?" Felix asked.
"Yes." I replied.
I was mad at whoever made me think that I lost documents that I seriously needed!
"This was all my plan so if you want to be mad at someone be mad at me." Felix said sighing.
"It was probably your plan to have Jennette take over, but it wasn't your plan to scare the life out of me to get me to come to the office." I said clarifying his words.
"I.... Can't argue with that...." Felix said.
"Athanasia, my gift for you is on the news." Lucas told me sitting beside me.
'The news...?'
What could it possibly be...?
We already told the media of our engagement.
Maybe we didn't tell the that we were married thanks to miss aurora who insisted we have the wedding immediately.
I checked my phone which I was on just a moment ago before I stormed into the office.
"Announcement of Lovely princess getting a different version: Who made me a princess." I read out loud.
"Due to popular demand for athanasia to have a fair life we are officially doing a different version of lovely princess. It will be called who made me a princess or for some countries suddenly I became a princess."
"Huh...? Wait how did the news know this before me!?" I asked.
"We have already been working on it, your the only one who didn't know." Lucas said.
"Who's going to be little me?" I asked.
"Someone. I honestly don't know their name and don't care." Lucas answered.
"Your going to wear your wig again?" I asked.
"The ridiculously long hair? Yes." Lucas replied.
"I don't know how to feel about this...."
"You don't have to feel anything, just roll with it.." Lucas told me.
I smiled and nodded and me, amaranth, Kiran, miss aurora, sir ace, lily, Felix, Jennette and Lucas chatted the day away.
"I think we better start heading home." Lucas told me.
I nodded yawning.
"Lily has passed out from exhaustion...." Felix said.
Jennette was semi awake.
Miss aurora was wide awake.
Sir ace was asleep.
Amaranth was asleep.
Kiran was wide awake.
"I'm going to drive My husband home. Kir can help me with Mara." Miss aurora said.
"Is it possible for me, lily, Jennette and Athena to just sleep in the office?" Felix asked.
I nodded.
This isn't even my office anymore.
"Let's go home athanasia." Lucas said.
Lucas just casually lifts me and and brings me back to our car.
"Are you two going to be fine?" Miss aurora asked us.
"Yes. I'm more worried about you and dad though...." Lucas replied.
Miss aurora had sir ace one hand over her shoulder while he sleep walked.
Kiran was making sure amaranth didn't fall asleep walking.
"We'll be fine!" Miss aurora replied
Lucas was the one driving us back home.
Since I was about to fall sleep any moment.
"You sleepy honey?" Lucas asked.
"Honey? That's a new nickname. But yes. I think you have eyes to see." I replied.
"Pfft- your attitude will never change." Lucas said.
"The day my attitude change is the day that you have to kick me out since that's not me." I told Lucas.
"You said it,not me." Lucas told me.
"If your tried just sleep. I'll bring us home." Lucas said.
With that my eyes slowly closed on me.
Everything went black and my consciousness skipped away from me.
~Lucas POV~
I saw as athanasia fell asleep.
We owned a 2 story house.
It had a very wooden asthmatics.
And can you guess what was the main colour of the house?
Yup!
White!
And some black here and there.
Our room?
Was literally black and white.
Other then a few blues and reds and accents of other colours.
Which were books and stuff toys and a bunch of other things.
I carried Athanasia up stairs to the second story and placed her in our bedroom on our bed.
Athanasia wanted amaranth to live with us which I was fine with but mum insisted that amaranth stay with her.
According to her we needed more space to do our 'Couple things'
Needless to say athanasia got super embarrassed after that and didn't talk to me for a week.
It would be me chasing after her while she ran away.
I only caught her when I straight up tied her to the bed while she was asleep so we could talk.
Maybe tieing her to the bed was extreme but can you blame me!?
I was missing my athanasia and it wasn't even my fault!
Oh and.
You guys remember Luke?
Black hair, silver eyes?
After I got to know him and now we're cool with each other.
Do I still want him to not be beside athanasia?
Yes.
Would I trust him and athanasia alone?
Probably.
But do I want that?
Hell no!
And I got dragged by athanasia to set Luke and Jennette on a blind date.
I don't even know how she convinced Jennette when Jennette was waiting for ijekiel.
They got along okay.
Speaking of ijekiel!
I think he was supposed to come back today....
On cue I heard something buzz.
I went to athanasia's bag to check.
'White dog.'
I answered.
"Hey athy! Long time no talk! Guess what, I'm back!" I heard ijekiel say.
"This is Lucas. Athanasia's fiance." I said.
'How dare this white dog call athanasia.'
"Oh! Um... If you don't mind can you pass the phone to athy?" Ijekiel requested.
"Sorry but she is currently asleep in our bed." I replied.
"Oh! Okay, help me tell her that I'm back! It's good to hear you two are doing fine." Ijekiel said.
"Okay. Bye." I said ending the phone.
I placed athanasia's phone beside her.
I took my own phone out of my pocket.
"Why are you calling me in the middle of the night!?"
"I just wanted to tell you that the white dog is back." I said.
"Huh? Great! Now I have a competitor...." Luke grumbled.
"Good luck. Now I'm going to sleep." I said hanging up the phone.
This was how I normally talked to Luke anyway.
Just a few lines and hang up the phone.
Why?
Because it annoyies him.
And I'm not that interested to talk to him.
Who do I think Jennette would chose?
Luke.
Mainly because I personally hate ijekiel.
I lied down beside athanasia.
Mum and dad both kicked me out when I was 21.
And they kicked out athanasia with me saying that we should stay together.
Since we didn't have a hands up we stayed at a hotel for the first couple weeks then we found this place.
We were both actors.
Well I was athanasia technically was a CEO.
So we had the money.
For some reason athanasia has the idea that we should do the paint job ourselves.
Some of the furniture was also DIY.
I must say I was quite good at this.
Athanasia wasn't bad.
There was one room in this whole house that isn't just white, black and a few other colours.
It had what we called 'Craziness'.
It was just a room and the walls were all sorts of colours with insane designs.
Mum, dad, Felix, lily, Jennette, ruby, Kiran and amaranth also helped a little bit in that room.
Athena also did too.
She had a hand print on the wall.
Miss River didn't want to get her hands dirty so she didn't do anything.
Ruby painted a rose.
Kiran painted a bookshelf.
I'm not even kidding.
Amaranth tried to pain but I have to admit I don't think her skills lie there.
She ended up doing stick men of everyone which athanasia found adorable.
Lily ironically painted a lily.
A lily of the valley to be more exact.
Felix painted fire flies.
They were just yellow dots.
Dad painted lanterns because to him this looked like a repanzel art wall so why not complete it.
Mum painted a crib.
Don't ask why.
I smiled thinking about our life so far.
I subconsciously stared swirling a few strands of athanasia's hair around my finger.
Her hair was soft like a feather.
I just lied there and thought about our moments...
~Flashback (Lucas POV)~
We had our wedding in a huge hall.
It had bunch of white chairs with ribbons on the back that are in red and blue colour.
On the sides of the walls were ribbons that had red, blue and white flowers.
And in the center was a arched way that had flowers all over it.
And the colours?
Were white,red and blue.
I was already in my suit.
White vest with black Shirt inside and a red tie.
Also had a red flower in my vest.
Did I feel strange wearing something like this?
No.
Because I had worn more extravagant things then this for acting.
But did I feel awkward?
Yes.
I was kicked out and stayed in a hotel while muy mum, athanasia, amaranth, Helena and Jennette stayed at mine and athanasia's house.
I was currently at the hall checking for everything.
And the sun wasn't up yet.
"The cake is coming in an hour right?" I asked.
The person nodded.
"I feel so weird...." Luke complained.
"Try wearing a kings outfit then go back to this one, you'll be thankful." I replied.
"No thank you!" Luke replied.
Amaranth was the flower girl while Kiran was the ring bearer.
Kiran was with dad and Felix.
Apparently they were getting ready.
"I think now's about time we go pick up athanasia." Luke told me.
If you can't guess he was my best men.
Athanasia insisted I have one.
"Why did mum write on the list "Beg bride to come out and merry you and beg from before sunrise."" I said.
"How would I know?"
"It was a retoridal question." I said as I began walking to the car.
It was just my normal car that has been through torture.
It was now a bridal car with a ribbon of flowers at the front.
What were the flower colours?
White, blue and red.
I think you know the colour scheme by now.
Luke was the one who drove since mum said.
"The bride and groom are not allowed to drive on their wedding day."
What's the logic behind that!?
As we arrived at mine and athanasia's house I noticed mum, helena and Jennette standing outside.
Mum's dress was around her ankle
Surprised she didn't trip on it yet.
She had long sleeves and some floral patterns on her dress.
It was entirely white.
Jennette?
I don't really care about her so I didn't even pay attention to her clothing.
"So, what did you bring?" Mum asked me.
I gave her a 'Are you serious ?' look.
"Name how much money you want, no matter how much I gave you you would've still said it's too less." I replied getting out of the car.
"That's not how tradition goes." mum rebutted.
"How much money are you trying to get from your son?" I asked.
Mum just smiled.
"I can't believe I'm doing this...." I sighed.
"Just do it Lucas, pretend it's a Romeo and Juliet script." Helena told me.
I sighed even louder.
"My bride, may you please come out and see me." I said.
"No she may not." Mum replied.
Jennette was just standing there giggling along with Luke.
"Please let me see her, before we become late." I said.
" Take this seriously!" Mum nagged.
'Just take this as some Romeo and Juliet script....' I thought.
"Athanasia my dear bride, may you please come out and see me. I haven't seen the shinning star of my life for a whole night now and I miss it." I said.
I knew she was standing at the door when I heard her laughter.
"What do you offer?" Mum asked me.
"I humbly offer anything your highness may wish for as well as my brides forever happiness." I replied.
"Give me three thousand." Mum said.
Seriously?
That's all?
I was expecting like a million or something!
I handed mum the money.
"What else can I do to see my dear bride?" I asked.
"Spicy food." Mum told me.
Seriously....?
This tradition was to please the bride maids.
So they would tell me to do whatever and I would need to do it.
Sigh....
"This is ridiculous...." I complained.
"Eat." Mum said passing me a bowl of spicy noodles.
You know what this is taking too long...
I'll just blackmail her.
"Dear bridesmaids of my soon to be wife. Would you want me to tell the media of what you pooped yourself in public?" I asked smiling.
I saw Helena expression on 'What the heck!?'.
"You wouldn't dare...." Mum said.
"Try me, I'm your son after all dear mother." I replied.
Mum sighed.
"Fine! Mara, let athanasia come out!" Mum yelled.
I saw how the door slowly opened revealing athanasia in a white dress.
It had a short trail behind it and it was off shoulder.
Normally the trail represents how much money a family has but I'm guessing athanasia insisted for a short trail to save money.
She had worn another set of clothes underneath which was translucent and it went all the way to her wrist.
She wore a silver necklace with a tiny heart charm and her dress had light red and blue flowers littered all over it.
Her hair was half up in a lose bun and half down held together by a blue ribbon which had gems on it.
It was a A-line dress.
How do I know this?
Mum.
Her legs would show a little bit Everytime she walked but not so much that I couldn't stand it.
I'll be honest I'm not a fan of make up so I am not going to say anything about her face.
She wore white 2 inch heels.
She had a white Vail on her head that covered her face but it was quite transparent so I could see her face.
The Vail had some flowers at the top which made it look like she was wearing a flower crown.
"Hey...." Athanasia said.
I could tell she was feeling awkward.
"Good morning my bride. Or should I say night since the sun isn't even up yet." I said offering my hand.
I saw Jennette and Helena slightly help athanasia with her trail and walking down the stairs.
Athanasia giggled.
"Athanasia, I'm going to sound super cheesy right now but you look gorgeous." I told her and she took my hand and we walked to the car where we both set at the backseat.
"You look handsome too." Athanasia said as I opened the door for her.
"Aren't I always?" I replied.
"Still an egoisitic person I see." Athanasia said sitting down.
I closed the door and went to the other side of the car.
"What makes you think I'll change?" I retorted getting into the car and buckling my seat belt.
"Is the groom and bride ready?" Luke asked.
"Yes." We both replied at the same time.
The car drove off with Jennette, helena and mum in another car.
Jennette was the driver since she finally learned how to drive properly.
The car ride was a mixture of flirting, sarcasm and butting heads with one another.
"We are here." Luke told us.
I got off the car and opened the door for athanasia.
"I swear your behaving like ijekiel." Athanasia said.
"Even on our wedding day you just HAVE to mention the white dog." I replied as athanasia took my hand.
"I'm just saying Lucas, your not normally a gentleman." Athanasia pointed out.
"I'm more like an animal, don't you agree?" I said.
She got what I meant and blushed.
'So cute....'
"How would I know." Athanasia replied.
"You'll get to know it later." I said winking.
She turned even redder.
"Luke stop bullying athanasia!" Mum said.
Both me and Luke looked at mum.
This was a problem...
Since she called me Luke, Luke would also respond...
Welp...
"I mean Lucas Luke, not you Luke. Your good." Mum said
Luke nodded.
We walked into the hall and waited for awhile together.
"May the groom please prepare?" I heard.
"Wit Lucas." Athanasia pulled my arm making me thumble backwards.
I got my balance so I didn't fall flat on my butt.
"Promise me you'll wait for me?" Athanasia asked.
I almost laughed at how adorable she was.
"I will. Don't worry, I promise you I'll wait okay?" I said letting her head.
She normally only behaves like this when she wants attention, which is rare.
Or she is embarrassed or insecure.
"Pinky promise?" Athanasia said holding out her pinky.
"Pinky promise." I said as we did the pinky promise.
It was adorable when she acted like a child.
Its rare for her.
"Bye athanasia." I said as I exited our room which we were sitting in.
"Let me guess, she was being cute?" Luke said as he stood beside me.
I glared at Luke.
"Sorry! Sorry! Wrong choice of words! She was being child-like?" Luke asked again.
I nodded.
"I wish Jennette would act like that with me.... Athanasia is so comfortable around you while Jennette is sometimes awkward around me...." Luke complained.
"Did Jennette tell you about white dog?" I asked.
"Yes.... I just has to sit there and bite my tongue in order nit to throw a single insult." Luke said.
"Why did you bite your tongue?" I asked.
"Because Jennette would obviously get offended and I'm supposed to be the person she can vent things to." Luke replied.
The hall got filled with people.
More specifically.
Distance relatives of mine and athanasia's that we both didn't even know existed.
Well athanasia knows some of them.
But I knew none.
"May I have your attention?" The registrar said.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two souls."
"Let us welcome the bride, athanasia de Alger obelia." He announced.
The huge door slowly opened and some music played.
I have no idea what the music is so don't question me about it.
I watched as amaranth walked through throwing flowers.
Helena was helping with the trail while Kiran was behind holding the rings.
On the front row of the seats which were right Infront of us were Jennette, mum, dad, lily, Athena and Felix.
"These two souls have met thanks to fate."
"Today their souls would become one."
"You may now say your vows."
Uh...
Shit...
My mind is blank...
Oh shit....
Of course I forgot my script.
"Athanasia, the day that I met you. I thought you were a creep."
I saw how she was offended yet giggled.
"And I'm going to be honest here I completely forgot my lines again just like when I asked you out..." I said.
"So everything I'm going to say will be from my heart and whatever I can think of at the moment." I said chuckling.
"But I promise that I will forever be by your side athanasia."
"Even if one day you hate me I'll come crawling back to you."
"When I think of the future I think of you and me growing old together."
"I cannot imagine a future without you."
"Well maybe actually I can which I would probably be a depressed old men." I added.
"I promise that when your sick I will take the day off and take care of you."
"I promise that I will not burn down the kitchen with my horrible baking skills."
"I promise to always love you even if the word forever may never last forever."
"If that day ever happens when I stop loving you, please whack some sense into me."
"But I don't think that will happen since I cannot imagine loving someone else who isn't you."
"this monologue is getting long and my brain is running out of things to say."
"I promise to love you for eternity. And always stay by your side." I said.
"Lucas, you are the most egoistic person I've ever met."
"It's so high in the sky that I can't see it anywhere in sight."
"I promise to love you forever and always treasure the love we have no matter the pressure."
"I promise to stay by your side when you sick but please don't pick what you eat and be a prick."
"I promise to always stay by your side even if you've lost your sight."
"My words are rhyming but I guess that's just describing how time with you is just so pleasuring."
I couldnt help but smile.
She totally wrote a script for that.
"So would you, luca______" my mind blanked out everything that he said as I foused on athanasia.
"Will you take athanasia de Alger obelia as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"Yes." I replied.
I saw how athanasia's eyes started to tear.
"Will you athanasia de ayer obelia take____"
I just foused on how athanasia was trying to stop herself from crying.
"Yes."
Kiran presented the rings to athanasia and me.
"With this ring I promise to love athanasia de Alger obelia for the rest of my life." I said putting on the ring for athanasia.
"See this ring? Your gonna put it on and behave cause I'm not letting you go." I whispered.
(Life: idea from cutememecat3)
Athanasia giggled.
"With this ring I promise to forever stay but your side." Athanasia said.
"Even if you are a jerk." She said softly.
I chuckled.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
"You may now kiss the bride."
I didn't wait for athanasia.
I leaned in put my hand in the back of he neck and connected my lips with hers.
I heard some people cheer.
When I let go we both just smiled as our foreheads touched.
Today started of as annoying thanks to mum.
But it ended well...
I'm happy...
~End of flashback~
My eyes slowly closed on me as I smiled.
I saw athanasia's silver ring with a few diamonds on it.
She didn't want anything big...
So I got...
What she...
Wanted...
I love her....
Athanasia de Alger obelia...
And I will forever love her....
Just like that I fell into slumber.
~Third POV~
These two met at a grocery store.
They bickered and fought.
Yet somehow love sparked.
This is the story of fake it till you make it.
The story of how a girl who always pretended manage to find an escape.
Her escape.
How she finally got free of the chains that once tied her down and clipped her wings so she couldn't fly.
This is a story filled with fluffy moments.
Sad moments.
Ironic moments.
And even funny moments.
But this was her story.
She finally had the helping hand she needed.
The helping hand she craved.
And this is how fake it till you make it ends.
Two lovers in each other's arms.
Smiling like idiots as they remember their silly, stupid and fluffy moments.
~The end~
(Life:Shit... I'm actually about to cry XD)
