Do you see her in that dress?
Yeah, that white dress, I have always known white for its purity but literature shitted on my face and bade me goodbye while I was in high school. I have come to think colors don't matter anymore. White doesn't mean anything but it's just the way society wants us to believe that it means purity. That is what my sister, Kendra is wearing today. White, long wedding gown in her body, hugging her petite figure properly.
This is the best I have seen something hug her. The men she courts with never hug her this perfectly. Maybe her husband-to-be, Alexander. Once I saw them on the table moaning the hell out of each other and his ass was protruding from the table, a wink is all I got from him.
She is standing at the podium, ready to make the vows, ready to tell the world that she is off the market and that big diamond that is going to be perfectly dressed on her finger is going to be the evidence. If my sister got a husband, trust me, you can get one, anyone can.
I am not bad-mouthing but damn, she has crossed paths with every Tom, Dick, and Harry. All of those got a chance to slide their rigid stick between her legs.
She became more of a slide-to-open door.
That's her life. I never get to talk, I am just her social media manager and all that I do is make sure that all her posts are in order. Cute and beautiful pictures are on Instagram, the Twitter has captions to praise her and the branding sites that she works for. In the case of a campaign, she is there advocating, but in a real sense, I am the one who posts all her things to keep people up to date.
I get to be paid cents. Yeah, the thirty cents that Judas used on Jesus, that's what I get. I can't complain because I am waiting for her business to grow so that I can get enough cash to attend university.
Look at her, you might be convinced she is the most humble human on earth, I mean, sometimes she is humble but most of the time, no, hell will break loose if you dare step on her!
"I will make sure I hold your hands so firmly in case our turn comes, I will get the most expensive dress for you and an expensive venue."
That's Josh, my boyfriend. He talks a lot and has one thousand and one promises that have never come to be fulfilled. He is an IT guy but every day he says the same thing over and over again.
Which type of a man doesn't want to touch you or even just kiss you in the mouth?
I used to think that my mouth stinks but I realized, he thinks I am still a sixteen-year-old kid he fell in love with. I am eighteen for Christ's sake, I don't need to be pampered like a baby.
I don't blame him though, he thinks it's good to have sex after we are married. I don't get him. He had a girlfriend before me and I don't know if he did the same thing for her.
I stretch my hands to hold his thighs but he catches them mid-air and places them just beside him. You see what I am talking about. He has a good stick, I once saw it when I caught him stroking himself in the bathroom. I know it's normal to do that. I have wanted to do that for sometimes but I restrained myself because I want him to be the first man to touch me in that way. Every day he says, not today, another day, I hope that 'another day' comes to be.
"I am waiting for fo it babe, just look at Kendra, she is pretty, she has garnered more followers, following the wedding post this morning."
Josh smiles and peck's me on the cheeks. He is sweet, don't get me wrong. He cares for me and gives me everything that I ask for. Except for the D, which he never gives me.
"You may now kiss the bride," the wedding official says and I look at the way, their lips are going to meet again for the hundredth time. As if I have never seen this before. I have seen it.
Alexander has some big arms there. The way he always does that to Kendra sends shivers down my spine. He does it more seductively than Christian Gray. The tattoos on his hands are more visible when he stretches his hands to hold Kendra's chin.
"Are you okay?" Josh looks at me holding my dress tightly. I quickly unfold my hands and clear my throat before looking into my phone for any new comments from Kendra's followers.
I think I need to get my shit together. This is going to get out of hand if I keep daydreaming of Alexander doing that to me.
You have imagined him a lot of times in your head doing that, so why can't you just stop? Are you crushing on him? You know Josh here loves you and would do anything for you. Don't rush into someone you don't know about.
I shake my head, listening to my head dictating to me what to think and what not to think about.m, I hate this. My mind would always sneak once in a while.
He knows the way I look at him and one day he intentionally just went on fucking Kendra even when I was at the door, he didn't stop instead, he looked at me while doing that. I don't know what he is driving at. I hope I will get over him.
The audience claps as they kiss each other. I lift my hand to clap and my eyes meet Alexander's. I quickly divert and look at Josh smiling at him.
Fuck you, Alexander! You are not even that handsome to drive a woman crazy. Maybe your charms worked on Kendra, if you think you are going to change my mind, shame on you.
I think this is enough. The wedding comes to an end and it's time for the bride and the bridegroom to share a cake and a drink. That is another adjacent venue where we are heading too.
"Hey, I will catch up with you, I need to use the washroom." I nod at Josh as he rushes over. I walk to the catering venue but accidentally see this ginger-red hair in front of me trying to hold her dress. I know Kendra needs me to be near her and consider various pictures but I need to work on this ginger red-haired girl.
Bending down to her height, her hair is covering her face. I don't know what she is doing but I hope she is okay.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask as I hear her click. She quickly raises her head and looks at me. It seems we have met somewhere but I don't quite know where.
She gives me her hands, I can see the zip in her hands and her heel is almost off. Looks like we have a closet malfunction here. I quickly hold her hands and off we head to the nearby washroom. I know I don't have extra shoes but I got some sandals for Kendra in case her heels kill her. Looks like, we are going to give the sandals to someone else.
"I am Vanessa by the way," I say smiling at her. I know it's not important but I won't mind making friends at this place because out there, I don't go to parties. Even when my sister goes to one, she doesn't invite me.
"I am Sofie, my brother is the groom." that caught me off guard. I know I have seen her somewhere. Ooh, I saw her on Alexander's laptop. I didn't sneak into his laptop to look at the bunch of stupid things, I was just holding the laptop and the wallpaper seem to have her there.
"The bride is my sister, guess we are.."
"Sisters too." she quickly says that and I am left smiling at how she can read my mind. She doesn't seem the picky type of a person. She seems like a fun person. For a change, I am an introvert but not that much and she is the talkative one.
I get her dressed and help fix the zip back. It's hard but I quickly help. Kendra had asked me to carry her extra equipment which means I have almost everything in here. A glue to make sure that the place we tore is sealed, a razor to cut the zip entrance, and extra pins to hold the dress. Once I am done, Sofie is smiling at me.
"You are good with fashion." I look at her, hell I am not good with fashion. I just used glue to do her dress, that doesn't make me qualify as some designer or something.
We talk about a lot of things. I have never met Alexander's family. Turns out they are only two children. Sofie is the last born and already doing her final year in business school. Their dad passed away some two years ago, they are left with their mother who also attended the ceremony. I can't wait to see what she looks like. I hope she is not as strict and bitchy as my stepmom.
Ooh, I didn't tell you, my mum passed away, so my dad married Kendra's mum who was my step. Ever since. They were not officially married instead it was a fling but my mum was the official wife. That is not my story.
"What about you? Why don't you tell me anything about yourself?"
It will be sad to tell someone like Sofie that I haven't even started my university and I am here playing the perfect sister to Kendra while I wait for the leftover that she is going to give me as my payment.
"Well, I love being on social media and I have a boyfriend." that sounds so stupid. Was it j must I talk about Josh? Talking if Josh, why hasn't he called me after he didn't find me?
Sofia smiles and parts my shoulder. We head out of the washroom and crush on Josh from where is no washroom. I raise my brows but I don't want to start this little argument with him right now. I introduce him and his lusty eyes never behave, he looks at Sofie's ginger-red hair and petite body. It's good to appreciate something good, I mean, Sofie is beautiful, she has long lashes on her eyes lid and her eyebrows are nicely shaped. Sofie glares at me when she catches Josh watching her.
I excuse Josh and walk with Sofie, it won't hurt to have her by my side for a while. I quickly check with the cameraman in case there are any special photos so that I can post them on Kendra's wall.
"This is sweet, so you manage your sister's social media?" Sofie asks me and I nod. This is the only thing that I am proud of. She watched as I edit everything and give it a captivating caption.
"Damn, you are good with words, I have something that I want you to manage, but after this, do you think you wi be able to work on it?"
Don't tell me that I am already getting some recommendations. I quickly nod and she tells me to talk about it after the wedding. We stand in the front line with her hands in mine as we watch Kendra and Alexander feed each other the cake. I don't know why Sofie dragged me forward, I hate it. This gives Alexander an upper hand when he is doing his thing. He keeps staring at me while his other eye is likely looking at Kendra.
We sit down and as a family, they are supposed to feed us the cakes. I turn around to look for Josh but he is just on his phone, I don't know what he doing or who he is talking with.
Sofie drags me to her family table and her mother Is there staring at both of us. Her mother has black hair to mean that Sofie inherited the hair from her dad. She doesn't look anything like her mother. Maybe for the cat eyes.
"Mum, see who I met, She is Kendra's sister." the lady smiles and stretches her hands at me. I quickly wipe my hands before stretching to meet hers. She has a firm grip and I shake her hands.
"Nice to meet you..."
"Vanessa," I say quickly to save myself from her piercing gaze. Jeez, she can look into my soul. I don't know what she can see but I hope, she doesn't see that stupid soul of mine that wants his son to touch me inappropriately.
"The pleasure is mine, Mrs. White."
After that, Sofie sits me down and her brother walks with the cake in plates, his other hand is holding Kendra's hands. When they get to us, Kendra feeds his family while Alexander takes the opportunity of feeding me the cake. I want to close my eyes but I don't want to do that, it might raise suspicion. All that I am imagining is his hands on my lips as he was doing to Kendra. I quickly take the cake in and look at Sofie, I don't want them to realize my blushing face, it's so weird. Kendra's eyes are on me, I don't know what is wrong but seems like she doesn't like me being with Sofie. I quickly zip my laughing mouth and place my hands on the phone.
When the dance time comes, Kendra and Alexander take the first dance, and they twirl to the song. Next is Sofie with Alexander. Mrs. White gave Sofie the first chance. After Sofie, It was Mrs white. I tried to look for Josh so that we can have a little dance but he is not anywhere near here. I look at my stepmom who is busy dancing with Kendra.
"Hey, it's your turn to dance with your brother_in_Law, come here," Sofie drags me to Alexander whom we collide with but I quickly stand on my feet. Sofie mumbles sorry after she pushed me to his brother. Alexander smiles and I am left holding his hands.
Sofi winks at me and stands with her mother as they dance.
This was not supposed to happen, my heart is racing and if Alexander moves closer he will hear it. Good for him, he doesn't move, instead, he stands still while waiting for me to move my kegs.
"Are you afraid of me? You have seen my ass a couple of times, don't be ashamed to dance with me," he says as if it's an easy thing. Does he know how it's hard for me to concentrate with his images in my head all day? Fuck he must have enjoyed doing that in front of me.
"You are beautiful Vanessa, you are just beautiful, I want you to know that. It's not for any reason, it's just for you to know that. I mean, look how you've got a great ass, and beautiful ocean eyes, you don't care what someone says about you. That's why I like you, know that. I know you've met my mum, she knows you and every day asks for you, hope she adores you the way Sofie adores you."
What? I have just met these guys today, what do they know about me? Nothing, he is just giving me propaganda, he wants me to feel like I am special. I know his family adores Kendra, she is like a snake and her word can lure you into thinking that she is special.
I want to say, thank you, but Kendra quickly walks in and separates us. Alexander winks at me and Sofie grabs my hands leading me to her mother who is standing next to me.
"Mum, you want to have a dance?" Sofie asks her mother and I am left wondering why her mother would want to have a dance with me.
Her mother doesn't reply instead, she grabs me and turns me around. Okay, this is not what I expected.
"You know, if you love someone, it's okay to tell them how you feel. Don't let anything hinder you from doing that, okay?"
Fuck! Does she know that I... No, she doesn't know that, it's just an illusion. She lets me go and I am back to Sofie who takes me to the table and we get ourselves some food. We watch as everyone is enjoying before my stepmom joins us. She calls for me and I have to join her, Sofie waves and joins her mother at the other table.
"I will poke your eyes out, it's either you stop looking at your sister's husband like that. What were you talking about?"
Jeez, can't she wait until we head home? Will she reprimand me every time? I know it's wrong, what I did. I was not supposed to be with him like that. Plus this was a stupid feeling, I need to keep my head focused. Let's forget about him, he has a good body, yes but that doesn't mean that I will get to fuck him, I am Vanessa that is me and I will never get a portion of him.
"We were talking about nothing."
The next thing that I heard was the stinging on my cheeks. Yeah, I deserved that. Thinking that I will get to fantasies about Alexander is so stupid. I am done with that. I walk to the washroom and avoid her. You might be asking why I don't talk back at her, I don't need to. I am used to it. No one saw her raise a hand at me so I am good.
