Alissa
Dates are already decided. The dresses are all ready. The venue has been decided. Honeymoon is decided. Rituals and ceremonies have been decided. Maid of Honor has been decided. Jade, no doubt. Eleanor will be at the wedding too. But, who's gonna make me walk down the aisle? There's the thing. I don't actually have a family. That kinda makes me miserable sometimes. But I know Eric very well. Even if the earth collides he will never allow Richard to walk me down the aisle cause even if he says that he has forgiven them there is still that glint of anger in him. I am still in the office and when I felt that these thoughts are occupying my brain I made my way towards Eric's cabin. I knocked and his raspy voice replied "Come in"
I entered the office and he smiled while looking at me and closed his file on which he was working. I sat on the chair in front of him and he looked at me with a puppy face.
"That's not fair" He said.
"What?" I said.
"You're so far" he replied.
I laughed and said "It's not your home mister"
"But I am the boss" He smirked.
"Okay listen, I want to talk to you about something" I said.
"Oh Alissa give your head a little rest" he chuckled.
"Not it's important" I whined.
"Okay say" he gave in.
"Like you know I don't have a family and-" I was cut off in the mid-sentence by his voice.
"Never say that again" He said.
"I mean....who's going to walk me down the aisle" I said.
"We can do something about it" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Maybe Richard can" I offered.
"No. Never" he said.
I huffed and gestured for him to say what he wants to.
"Like you see. You will walk down the aisle yourself. Brides don't always need a person to give them away. You will walk down half the aisle yourself and then I will come halfway down to you and will hand you the bouquet which will also be remarked as the day of love" He said.
I was surprised that this could also happen. I mean....Wow!!!
"Thank you" I said while holding his hand.
He made me stand up and made me sit on his lap. He started playing with my fingers and the ring. He kissed the back of my hand and I tried to stand up in case someone would enter the cabin. But, he had a firm grip around my waist and he just wouldn't let go of me.
"Eric, what if someone entered?" I said.
"They know they will face the worst nightmare of their life, so they wouldn't dare to come in without knocking" he said.
I kissed him on his cheek and tried to stand up but he again made me sit in his lap and said "It's not that easy"
"Eric, I have work to do" I said.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to do it anyway. Just stay with me"
"It's not fair with other employees" I said.
"They all are not my fiance" he smirked.
I just let out a breath and the rest of the work he completed with me on his lap. After few minutes we both left for our respective homes. He offered to let him drop me at my house and I said no but he was not taking a no for an answer. He carried me bridal style in the car making me giggle.
He left me to my house but not before kissing me. It was loving yet passionate. I waved him from my doorstep and he made his way to his home. This was a good day. I entered and Jade was there trying on different dresses.
"What are you up to miss. Diva?" I said laughing.
"Just trying on different dresses. I don't want to look boring" she said making me laugh again.
I went into the kitchen and started to make dinner. But after five minutes I was no longer in the mood to make dinner.
"Hey, Jade. Want to order something from the outside?" I asked and she nodded enthusiastically.
I ordered a pizza. A large one. After 30 minutes and the pizza, the boy was on the doorstep. I took the pizza and handed him the money. Jade and I both ate the pizza and talked about our day. Soon after eating the pizza, she went to her room and I went to mine. I lied on the bed thinking how time has passed. How it was a few months ago when my life was just so miserable and now I don't want to change a single thing.
