Maid To Be (Book Three) 8
The figure of mother was frozen to a spot, eyes fixed on whatever was out there, and at once, I had pushed myself forward, going to have a look for myself, and only then was I struck with the shock that befallen her. Right outside the porch, stood three figures, gazes shifting from mother to I, with a smile playing on their lips. Perhaps, a fake smile. There stood Aunt Bertha, eyes beaming on at us, like that was the same expression it held the night she sent Mother and I out her home, stating she never wanted to be a feet close to us. So, what then could it be that had brought her to this corner? And that man she had welcomed into her home, the instigator. He remained stood close to her side, that quirky grin held on his lips, while his fingers went itching at his mustache. “Hello, Nia” His voice still sent chills down my spine, with those intent fixed on me. “What do you want?” Mother called sharply, inching nearer to them. “Oh, is that the welcome we get to receive after hav

“What is this place, Ashley?” I turned to the cheer-filled girl beside me, watching as her eyes lit up at the activities before us. “This is a prep center” She let out.“Prep for what?”“Marriage of course”“You can not be serious” “I am very much serious, Nia” She followed. “How else are you supposed to be oriented with what is out there for you. This is a better means at helping you out” “Why would you sign me up for a marriage class, Ashley?” My eyes were fixed intently on her, my whole being awaiting an answer. Now, believe me, it wasn’t the idea that had me worn, it was the people that I was made to behold that most had me stunned. There were a dozen of ladies in the area, all who didn’t seem to me like they were about to get married, in fact, a high number of them were middle-aged women who looked like their marriages were failing, and they came out in search for their last resort. I was the only one here who seemed unaware of what was going on. The rest of the women appe

We had taken a stop at a restaurant, wanting to rid off every thought of what we had to sit through back at the marriage prep class. I still could find that irk held on Ashley's face, and even while we made leave from there, she still went on about how blunt Adriana had been, going so much into details. "Will you believe me now, when I tell you not to delve into one thing or the other?" I chuckled at her, taking a gulp of wine from the glass on the table."Believe me, I thought it would be much interesting" She let out a breath. "It was. Just not the way we expected it to be" I followed. I reached for another glass of wine, downing it at a go, and soon met with the gaping eyes of Ashley. "What are you doing, Nia?" Her voice remained low, eyes shifting form the empty glass and back to me. "Having a drink of course" "I need to keep you sober for the bachelorette's party, which is in—she took a glance at her watch—approximately an hour's time" She let out. "The girls already are

I woke up to the sound of voices breaking all around me. How faint they were, yet strong enough to have my ears perked, with figure soon tearing off the comfort of the bed in which I was laid. "Come on, people!"The utterances began. "We haven't got all day""Let's move along!"That voice broke out, mixed with noises pulling from outside, I was prompted out the space of the room, feet bare, hair disheveled, going to have a look for myself. I could feel a ring in my head, that pang which wouldn't give me some rest. What the hell had happened to me? Why was I clad in a robe I bore no familiarity with? And for what reason did I wake up in Ashley's home. And yet again, that throbbing ache in my head returned. Why wouldn't it ease me? All I could remember was having been drenched in liquor, girls dancing half naked before me, and while I was being educated by the raving girls that had gathered to party, I was made introduced to such wilding I never had been amiss. All which befell

The figure of Ashley could be seen sauntering into the room, phone pressed tight to her ears, words stumbling out her lips, she made sure to have every caller attended to, as the calls that came in, all ended with the question—Where’s the bride?She paced around the room, voice breaking out, followed with huffs and grunts, and in a moment, she had ended the call. A girl had walked into the room, eyes fixed on Ashley. “Everyone’s sat at the hall waiting” She let out. “Oh let them wait” Followed Ashley. “For no reason are we to rush the bride” She added in a firm tone, soon coming over to me. Her hands were gentle on me, that smile pulling to her lips. “I’m proud of you, Nia” She sniffed, with eyes soft on my figure, watching as I was being helped into my wedding dress by the ladies at my side. They pulled at the strings of the corset, tugging, adjusting, and i their subject, they remained working, wanting to have the dress proper on me. Perhaps it was much to their satisfaction

I could feel the number of gazes that turned to me, upon my entrance. My entrance which had now struck the silence into the hall. Those gazes were filled with a lot of things: Relief, astonishment, glee, it went on. But I tried not to focus on the number of people that had turned around gazing upon the figure of the bride waddling into the hall. My eyes were only staring through the veil placed on my head, gazing on at that figure stood on the alter. His eyes were centered on me, watching as I made my way in. Believe me, I couldn’t see properly underneath this sheer veil placed on, but I wasn’t one to miss the joy that filled his eyes upon sight of me. His lips were parted open, gaze blank, perhaps it was bewilderment that had those eyes struck, while they peered on at me. And while I made my way down the aisle, an orchestral rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ sung by the lovely group, ‘Pentatonix’ was being played. Those violin tunes and the harp to go with, brought every vigor to my

“I gave it to you” That voice rang out. The voice belonging to Dylan. “No, you didn’t” Followed Derrick at once, with cross eyes fixed his way. “Yes, he did” David joined in, pulling forward to the two. “Well, that’s odd. Cause I remember giving it to you” Derrick retorted, voice taking a raise in pitch. Ashley had pulled forward at once, eyes shifting through the figures. “Will you three snap yourselves together and get the rings?!” She called at once, gaze intent on them, but they only responded with yammers, fingers pointing at each other. “I gave it to him” Dylan let out, with an index shot at to his brother. “No, you didn’t” Followed Derrick. “Where the fuck is the ring?” Cameron pushed forward, getting off the platform in a second, soon approaching them, but Jordan had stepped right in front of him, pulling him aside, perhaps trying to get him to a calm. Meanwhile, here I was onlooking, the tumult that threatened to break out. I could hear the murmurs pouring from the

"It is with a sincere heart, that we say how sorry we are, and ask that you accept our apologies"Jordan had taken the alter, addressing the already impatient crowd of people, filled with murmurings that still could be heard breaking out."Do spare us a moment to have the bride and groom joined in Union, and we can all return to our homes" He followed at once, eyes beaming on at the guests. The priest, Peter, had taken the alter once more, eyes still soft, the life to be found in that gaze of his. For someone who had a busy day ahead, he seemed much patient waiting for the rings to be brought, and not for once had he laid a complaint on being kept in the dark. He had come up to us, hands holding onto the tiny boxes which now bore the rings, and in a second, he was standing before us. "Cameron Williams, do you take Nia Sangretti as your lawfully wedded wife, and promise to be faithful to her for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish her until death
