in
his arms
Chapter 36
Morgan, for the first
time in her entire life, felt and looked absolutely
beautiful.
It was slightly indescribable; the feelings of watching your
sister prepare to be married. She was my best friend, and I
wanted her to be happy. But, in a way, I knew I was losing
her.
She allowed her hair to, over time, renew the auburn color it
naturally expressed. She let it fall in native imperfect curls
around her face and just below shoulder length. She decided today
she would not wear much, if any makeup.
She held true to that, only wearing glimmering pink lip gloss.
She allowed earrings and a necklace that matched mine to hang
from her body.
Her dress was a spaghetti strap with floral lace patterns and
beads at the top, and a silky texture from the lower chest down.
It was slightly folded over to give off the impression that she
was thinner than she actually was. She wore a thin veil that hung
to the middle of her back.
My face was decorated with more eye shadow than I was used to and
a smidge of eyeliner. My lips were coated in a very pale
grey-purple color that twinkled in the lighting. I felt awkward
in my heels, I couldn’t walk right even without them.
Morgan sent the bridesmaids out to mingle with people already at
the wedding. Anthony wasn’t too familiar with everyone, so
I hung by him, and then when Ben and his wife came in, we went
over to talk to them.
Benjamin smiled widely at me, greeting me with a gentle peck on
the cheek, and his wife, whose name I had yet to learn, welcomed
me with wide eyes, open smile, and outstretched arms.
She was stick thin, but her hugs seemed to consume you.
“Ah! I’m so excited to see you!”
“It’s nice to see you again too!” I beamed. We
all talked for just a short amount of time before I was dragged
out of the conversation by another person, and another
person.
After talking to nine or ten different people, Anthony and I
finally found some time to us before the wedding actually
started. We stood around a large table decorated with fruit.
“So, I talked to Ben for a little while.”
“How is he?”
“He was wondering if we wanted to participate in a
charity.”
My eyes snapped up from the strawberry I was eating. “What
kind?”
“A book drive. For little kids in hospitals, and for
soldiers overseas.”
My eyes went wide and a smile broke out on my face. “Oh my
God, Anthony, that would be amazing!”
He grinned. “Yeah, I liked it too. We’ll call
him.”
Everyone began taking seats on either side of the isle in the
large ballroom. I sat next to Anthony, holding his hand in the
front row, and my mother was beside him. His hands seemed clammy
tonight, and I wondered why.
After everyone was silent, nothing happened. No music, no Morgan.
Nothing.
Aidan cleared his throat, and suddenly everyone looked to him.
“I have a friend who has a slight announcement to make
before we proceed with the ceremony.” He winked to someone
in my general direction.
I felt Anthony’s grip break from mine as my head snapped
around to look at him as he got down on one knee and pulled a
small box from his pocket.
Thank
you, Nemo. I had to shovel your remnants off the back porch
today. That took 2 hours.
I just got in from sledding, so hello hot chocolate <3
Oh and by the way I started writing my next short story. It's
a lot worse than this one oops.
*I don't notify, please
don't ask.*
