There was the same routine through out the rest of the week. I woke up, changed into a cute dress, met everyone outside and went to the wedding rehearsals. We'd learn how to dance and tried out all kinds of exotic foods. Then we'd go home, get a big lecture from Gabriel's step mom about not having sex before marriage and we'd end up in my room having sex almost all night.
On the day of our wedding, I woke up super early. No thanks to Mrs. Sanders. She was in a crappier mood than ever, for when she had walked into my room, she started yelling at me like crazy. I had to literally bite my tongue to snap at her. "You have to get ready. Look at you! This is what happens when you don't obey me. I told you that you shouldn't be having-"
"I'm sorry." I interrupted her. She looked at me a little shocked. Then she returned to her bossing around. She had seemed to calm down a little and started getting everything ready and done.
"We will be having a big party after your wedding. I heard that your father isn't coming and I'm awfully sorry. I know it's a big day for you." she said to me after telling all the maids what to do. I was thank full that the wedding was going to be early in the day and not in the afternoon. "I'll help you out Hun. I told my husband that you aren't that bad and he seemed to have calmed down. Now lets get Gabriel out of the house and get you ready." she said walking out of my room instantly.
I heard her talking with Gabriel and he seemed to agree with her. I sat on my bed, feeling a little dazed. Everything was going way too fast. I was getting married at seventeen, with someone I just met. My life was a complete mess, and what scared me the most was that I didn't even care how crazy it sounded.
"Good-morning, oh future wife of mine." Gabriel said from the door. I turned to look at him and smiled. "I missed you last night." he winked.
"Yeah, well I was having a blast the last night of my single life." I laughed. He frowned a little, then pushed off the door frame.
"I have to leave this house. I'll see you at the altar." he said kissing me lightly on the lips. I hummed and let him pull away. "Good luck." he said. He left, letting Mrs. Sanders continue with her work.
"Oh, Mrs. Sanders, I never got to know your name. I wouldn't call you honey, since that's only your husbands right to say." I said standing up and stretching.
Mrs. Sanders laughed and looked at me. "It's Marie." she said softly. I nodded and looked away from her. That was my mothers name. I shrugged off the eerie feeling I got and looked at her. I smiled sweetly and walked up to her. She started working on my hair and make up and I wasn't aloud to look in the mirror.
After several minutes, which seemed like hours to me, of pulling and yanking on my hair and putting all kinds of junk on my face, I was ready. I was turned around slowly and I stared at a very beautiful girl in the mirror. Her hair was in elegant curls framing her face and she looked like an angel with the way her make up was done. Innocent, yet playful. I couldn't stop staring at my own face. It would be impossible to recognize me at all.
"You look beautiful." Marie gushed. She had placed her hand on my shoulders, I cringed, ready to feel pain, but opened my eyes when I didn't. She was still smiling, taking in her art work.
"You don't have any daughters?" I asked her. She looked down, took her hands off my shoulders and sighed deeply. I took time too look at my shoulders and saw that they didn't have a single mark on them.
"I do, but I don't know her. See, her father kicked me out after he found out about my dancing dream." she said. I turned to look at her, upset at how her ex-husband hadn't let her live her dream. "He said that I was a grown women and had children already. I didn't give up and therefore, he divorced me. I met Tom and it was love at first sight." she smiled warmly at me. I gave her a small hug and she returned it. "Okay, now lets get you finished off. We only have an hour before you are to arrive." she said.
I dressed in the most amazing white dress ever. It was tight around my body and down towards the knees, it had ruffles with a silver butterfly barrette. It was off the shoulders and I couldn't have asked for a better dress. Marie helped me get into it and zipped it up. She looked at me and put her hands over her mouth. I have never seen a more beautiful bride ever." she whispered.
We both stared in the mirror for another ten seconds before getting back to work. She ran to her room to change and I was to wait out in the living room. I slipped into my silver heels and walked out. One of the maids helped me put on my vial and some sparkly lotion. I was somewhat nervous about getting married but I was very excited too.
"You ready honey?" Marie said behind me. I turned to look at her and nodded. She looked amazing too. She was wore a strapless red dress that went up to her knees. It was puffy towards the bottom and it had glitter everywhere. I swear that women could take any spotlight with her body. Her hair was up in an nice bun with a big bump in the font. "Let's go then." she said opening the door.
The driver was waiting by a long black limo and he took of his hat and did a mini bow. He opened the door for us and I climbed in after Marie. She sat in the car silently, applying red lipstick. "You look very beautiful Marie." I told her softly. she looked up and smiled. "I hope you won't take the spotlight." I joked.
She laughed and shook her head. "Today is your day honey. I wouldn't take it for any reason." she placed her hand on mine and squeezed it gently. We got tot he chapel and she hurried me into a room. I was to relax and talk with Tom. I was sitting in front of the mirror when he walked in. He was in a black tuxedo with a white shirt under and a red tie. I guess my almost-to-be parents in-law had coordinated.
"You look beautiful Reina." he said looking me up and down. I have a small surprise for you." he said pulling out a box from behind him. It was a small red box. He opened in and inside, there was a pearl bracelet. "Something white and something old." he said. He pulled my wrist up and placed the bracelet around it.
"Thank you." I whispered admiring it. It was a very beautiful little thing and it was sweet. I smiled at him and pulled him into a hug.
"I'm sorry for ever doubting you." he said.
"It's okay." I told him pulling away. I could feel my eyes starting to water.
The music started and he held out his arm. "Shall we go?" he asked.
"We shall." I placed my arm around his and we walked out the door. We stood in front if the big double doors that led to the wedding ceremony.
"Hold on honey. I have to do something." Tom said pulling away from me. I nodded and took a deep breath. I stood for a few seconds before I felt Tom's arm on mine again.
"I'm scared." I admitted softly.
"You'll do fine Reina." I knew this voice. It wasn't Tom's, or Gabriel's. I turned my head and saw Ryan. I smiled at him and pulled him into a tight hug. "Oh you look so beautiful sis." he said softly, tightening his hug. I could feel my eyes fill up with tears and I pulled away. "Don't cry." he said, putting my face in his hands. He kissed my forehead and the wedding march started. "Looks like it's our time huh?" he said softly before pushing through the doors.
All eye went to us immediately. I looked around, frozen for a second before Ryan's hand pulled me behind him. I looked at him and smiled again. He walked me to the front where Gabriel was shooting his daggers. He even walked up the couple of steps the church had and then kissed me on the forehead again and gave me a tight hug. He then turned to Gabriel and gave him my hand. "Love you Reina." he said.
And so the ceremony began. We said our vows and our I do's and he kissed. It was a very fast wedding and I was finally married to the guy that stood next to me. We had gotten back to the house, Ryan riding the limo with us.
"I thought you weren't coming." I told him.
"Yeah, well dad said we weren't and then I convinced him to come and he agreed, but he couldn't walk his baby down the aisle. He may be a very macho man but he loves you sis. I just wouldn't miss your wedding for anything. Even if it was with a total stranger." he said taking my hands into his. "I've missed you so much." he said.
"I've missed you too." I whispered, afraid that my voice would crack. Marie and Tom had left the wedding early, claiming they had to get everything at the house ready. We were the seconds to arrive at the house and once we got out the car, we heard all the shouting.
It sounded like Marie and my dad. Ryan and I ran to the inside of the house and found them yelling at eachother at the top of their lungs.
"You whore!" shouted my dad. I stared at him wide eyed. "this is the man you left your family for? Why?" he asked, his face was filled with hurt. "You left your son and daughter to be with him? All for his money!"
"I left to live my dream. I hated living with you!" she shouted back. "Those kids only ruined my life. They ruined everything for me. I wanted to become a professional dancer, but they ruined my body. I couldn't stand seeing them every day."
I looked at Ryan and saw that he was just as shocked as I was. "Dad, stop yelling." He said, his voice loud and strong. Tom, Marie and our father turned to look at us. Dad looked at me and his face softened.
Marie looked at me for a second and her face turned expressionless. She then looked at Ryan and started walking closer to us. "These are my kids?" she asked.
She raised her hand and touched Ryan's face first. He didn't move, but he glared at her. She then tried to touch my cheek but I pushed her hand away from me. "Don't touch me." I said through gritted teeth. The tears had already started rolling down my face and I knew that all the eyeliner was running too. "How could you possibly think we ruined your life?" I said much lower.
"Reina, if I knew that you were going to grow up to be such a beaut-"
"Shut up!" I yelled at her. She looked shocked for a second but then composed her expression again.
"That is not a way for a proper young lady to talk." she scolded me.
"Well I wouldn't know. I grew up with men in my life. I never had a women to me my role-model. And you will not tell me how to speak or act because you aren't my mother." I said and walked to my room.
"Reian!" she yelled. "Reina come back here!" she ordered. I stopped walking, my fist balling up and I turned to look at her.
"Screw you!" I said and slammed the door to my room.
