Lily froze when she heard Dilan's words
"What did he just say?"
"He didn't mean that right?" she thought.
It was her turn to say her vows
"I lily Wen take you, Dilan Thor, to be my lawfully wedded husband ..."
"....and to cherish you as long as we both live" She repeated.
Betty and Nix stepped up with the rings and presented them. Lily took the ring and placed it on his finger while Dilan did the same.
"With the power vested on me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the priest concluded.
There was an uproar from all around the place.
Lily held her breath, she had long prepared for this but now it seemed like the bridge she had been building was about to collapse. Dilan hesitated for a while, his gaze still on the lily. The longer he stayed the more tense lily got, she didn't know why but her hands found Dilan's, and the man moved. It seemed he was far away from the ongoing ceremony and hadn't heard what the priest had said earlier. He moved closer to lily removing her veil that has covered her face, he cupped her cheeks caressing them gently and his lips gently slammed on those red lips of hers.
Lily wasn't the only person shocked but His family in general. Nix was grinning at the other end with Betty who smiled widely.
Confetti and flowers rained on them as the guests looked at them with happiness filling their eyes to the brim cheering for them. Lily hadn't noticed as her attention was focused on her lips intertwined with Dilan.
Their lips parted and lily gasped for breath. As they left the stage the guests followed behind.
The reception was to follow after the wedding.
"A dance with me my lady?" Nix asked as he propped his hands towards Betty
"Of course" she replied happily as she took his hand.
"I really can't believe that happened?"Mila Thor exclaimed
"Well she's a unique specie" Noah Thor commented
"Yes...I know she'll make him happy once again"
"I trust her" he winked at her.
The atmosphere was joyous as couples danced and swayed on the dance floor.
Doctor Darrel had gone to congratulate the couple.
"Congrats Dilan and you Mrs.. Thor," he said slightly bowing
"Thanks" she replied smiling.
Sylvie walked up to the couple who were still with Doctor Darrel
"What a nice wedding Dilan...too bad it would had been better if you were with me...." she said unashamedly
"Sweetheart don't you think we're perfect together?" lily asked Dilan. The man nodded and lily kissed him in front of Sylvie
"Your lips taste like heaven....ill love to have more than it tonight," she said seductively.
"You bitch" Sylvie said as his fist clenched in anger. She knew she couldn't do anything around here if not...
Doctor Darrel who had been watching the scene that unfolded before his eyes smiled at Dilan as if telling him
"You got yourself a good catch huh?"
Dilan glared at him making Darrel burst into a fit of laughter.
"It time for the newly wedded to have their dance"
Dilan sighed as the floor cleared to watch them. This day was already building all kinds of feelings he had killed a long time ago, those things he never wanted to feel. The only reason he had kissed Lily was that he thought she was Dayla, the longer the looked at her the more he saw her. He couldn't just help himself especially when he saw her in the dark.
The couple moved towards the dance floor and the lights went off.
"What's wrong with these lights?" Lily grumbled to herself. The spotlight fell on them and the music began playing. Dilan closed his eyes for a second and opened them and in front of him was his love...Dayla
He tried to close his eyes back and open them but she was there...it was here....his mind screamed to him.
She smiled at him and he smiled back
"Did he...?" Darrel asked
Nix nodded
The dance grew liver and liver taking her hand into his he swept her gracefully into dance. He gazed at her with a solemn expression. He twirled her into his arms, falling in step and letting the rhythm control their movements. All the scenery and people around them dissolved, he held her close letting his warm breath heather
Lily felt uncontrollable feelings surge through her body and her fingers tingled in delight her hips against his swaying to the beat.
He drew her close to his chest and she wrapped her arms around his neck, gliding together in perfect harmony.
Their bodies acted in unison, with no chains to hold them back from this pure paradise. He gathers her into his arms, lifting her. He leaned closer waiting to see if she was going to push him off. She leaned closer still. She twirls around, her dress spinning around her legs.
No one else mattered to either of them. Her eyes twinkled at him. And so they danced, holding firm to one another and swaying together fluidly each movement weighed down with fear and pain. It made her stomach flutter in the tiniest bit. They locked gazes and it seemed time itself had stopped, she felt his hand slip around her waist pulling her slightly closer and she suddenly found herself pressed to his chest as he said those words they both hated.
"I love you" and he kissed her.
