BRIAR'S POV
" Cayden what's happening ? " I asked really confused . The two ladies were looking at me with broad smiles on their caked up faces . Its 5 PM and Cayden wants me ready by 7 PM . Well that's what he said . But the question is be ready for what ? I asked him something like hundred times now and still he never answers . He smiles or ignores my questions completely .
One thing I noticed is that , he's not looking a my face today . Like he's not meeting my eyes and there's this wired feeling in the pit of my stomach too . What's wrong ?
Again ignoring me Cayden exits the room leaving me with the two wired ladies .
" Oh , your so beautiful . We will not have to actually put much of the make up on you . Come sit . " One of them said with braces on her teeth making her look funny . I sat even though I didn't wanted to .
The other lady just started with my hair , pulling them more . The lady with braces smiled brightly and started putting so many things to my face . I'm scared if she wants to make me like her .
The mirror wasn't facing me , actually I was ordered to close my eyes so I couldn't tell if I already looked like a joker . After which felt her eternity the lady guided me to washroom telling me to wear a emerald green short dress which looked so beautiful that I think I was already drooling .
The dress reached above my knees and it fitted me so well that I think it was made for me . The ladies looked at me with a half open mouth . I don't know what they were thinking but I didn't care if they thought that I didn't look good .
" So beautiful . " the braces lady said with a dreamy look on her face . I wanted to see myself but the other lady started to do something with my hair again . What did she do the whole time with them ?
At last my hair were left open . Some of my hair were in front and the rest were at the back .
They stood smiling , aren't they going to show me how I look ? The lady with braces must have sensed my need to see myself because she moved the mirror towards me to see .
The moment I laid eyes on me I was shocked . I wasn't caked up as I thought I will be , in fact I was looking really decent . I looked beautiful.... like really beautiful . The dress fitted perfectly showing my curves , my hair were left open in waves looking really good . I don't think I ever looked this good in my life time .
" Do you like it ? " The braces lady asked with a very sincere smile . I smiled back , this time with the same sincerity .
" Yes .. I look good . I have never looked this good . Thanks . " I said smiling . They smiled before bringing me one box . The box held matching pair of heels with my dress . Sitting down , I wore them .
I think whatever this function is , it is quite big one . But Cayden didn't arrive till now . The two ladies also went back as their work was over . I was alone in this make up room .
It is 8:30 and he isn't here . I started to pace back and fourth in the room , this is not giving any good vibes . I am feeling sick for no reason . Why isn't he coming ?
After ten minutes I heard foot steps coming towards the room . I stood still in hopes that Cayden is coming . The door opened revealing .... Josie ? She stood in the doorway with a wired smile . She looked me up and down before walking towards me .
" Come hurry .. Cayden forgot that he had to pick you up . I will take you . " What ? He forgot to pick me up ? How can he forget this out of all the things ?
I walked behind Josie who seemed to be thinking deeply , she looks really good . Her hair up high and her red cocktail dress suited her very well . We walked towards the car and she asked me to get in .
" Where are we going ? " I asked her . She looked out of the window not facing me , but I could sense her smiling . She turned , " You will see . " she answered . Why can't they tell me ? I signed facing outside .
In twenty minutes or so , we reached our destination . I looked outside the window which showed me a beautiful mansion . It looks like a hotel or maybe a kingdom even . Whatever it is , its extremely eye catching . But I didn't feel very comfortable about this . Opening the door I pushed myself out . Standing out I noticed that Josie was already walking inside without acknowledging me . Wired . I followed hurriedly behind .
As soon as we reached the bar she stopped me and excused herself . She doesn't behave this odd . What's wrong with her ? I looked around not knowing what to do . The bartender looked my way and smiled before asking if I need something . I asked for a glass of water which he bought in less than a minute . I sipped the tasteless liquid while watching the crowed . The people around were nicely dressed , I looked around in search of Cayden or even Josie . But , they were nowhere around . Disappointed I asked the bartender for a simple cocktail juice .
Drinking my juice , I again searched for familiar faces . At the corner of the wide whole near a pillar I spotted Cayden's handsome face , he looked busy . But what caught my eye was his arms which was around a women I haven't seen ever . She looked happy as she was smiling brightly . In the crowed I couldn't see them properly but I saw the girl muttering something in Cayden's ear , to which he responded with a smile . My heart constricted at that action . I don't like the view at all . He forgot to pick me up but bought this women with him . I felt bile raising in my throat but I pushed it back .
I pushed away from the chair and started to walk towards my husband , but a hand stopped me . I turn to look at the person and found Josie standing there . She grabbed my arm almost painfully and pushed me with her . I didn't question and walked where she was taking me .
We stopped at a distant place from where I don't think anyone could see us . She loosened the hold on my arm , which was actually a relief .
" What happened ? " I asked her . She dropped her hand from my arm and folded her arms on her chest .
" Nothing .." she smiled weirdly , I tried to understand her but I couldn't .
" Umm .. Where's Cayden ? " I asked her again changing the subject . She looked my way with a 'not so good ' expression .
" Somewhere he's supposed to be . " she answered checking on to her nails . No he's supposed to be with me . Not with an other lady .
" I want to meet him . " I said trying to make her into letting me meet Cayden .
" He's busy , Briar . " she answered irritated . I didn't like it and I cant take this attitude of her anymore .
" Just stay here the whole ceremony . Let them announce and you will meet Cayden . Don't move from here , I cant come again and again to get you to place . " She declared before I could say anything . Without even letting me reply she rushed away from my side . I looked behind her watching everyone from here . There were seats and the sky was also seen . The sky looked like its going to burst anytime . The clouds were visible clearly , I watched them for a little while without thinking about anything .
Everything is very confusing , what's happening is something like a dream . Josie never talked like that . Cayden never did what he did today with me . I looked towards the crowed of people again , all looked very happy . Very happily some people dancing and some laughing . Everyone enjoying , I just stared at them . Not feeling sad or painful , but I felt numb .
There was no emotion flowing throw my veins , I couldn't even understand what's happening with me . Its just too confusing .
After something like an hour I spotted both Cayden and that women together . They were smiling looking at each other . Why was they together ? Who is she and why did Josie order me to stay here ? If I wanted I could go towards them , but something in me stopped me to do so . My feet couldn't move and my eyes couldn't see something else . I just saw their every move . After a minute they started to dance . Even though he wasn't hers but the thought that they looked good together wasn't going out of my mind . They suited each other , maybe Cayden is regretting marring me now .
The music was soft , but it felt like blasting drums to my ears . I moved towards the seat to sit down and watch them . This is not what I should be doing , but its hard to think about what will I come to know if I reached there to discover the truth .
