Nicholas perspective:
I look at the mirror, taking in my figure. Today is the day, my marriage day. I wore black tux like every groom wear on his wedding. Except I wore tie and other has bow, they have red clothe in their pocket's I have a rose. My hair was smooth back but I made it messy by running my hand through it. I can't be elegant.
"You thought that your life was in hell but you know what," She said, sipping her coffee standing in the yard. "that was just trailer." She casually said coming closer, smirk never leaving her face. I scoffed, smirk drop from her face. "The real hell will start when she would come." she hissed than smiled behind me.
"Mom? Nico?" A question in his voice but he shrugged it. And I let go of it too. Her words ring in my ear. A month ago what she said.
"Bro its your life big day and your crying here, come on we don't have time." Adrian bursted, scaring me.
"I am not crying." I gave him finger. He slap my back and smiled at me.
"So why are you standing in front of the mirror." He said, amusement in his voice, "girls do that." I was going to hit him but he already took some steps back. "Okay okay, I am sorry." He put his hand up in air. I huff and sat on the chair, trying to lose my tie but Adrian grab my hand. "dude, what happened?" He asked, his face was now concerned.
"Nothing," I looked away, putting my elbows on my knees and left them dangling. Adrian sat in front of me on another chair, dragging it to come close to me.
"What is it?" He asked. That's why people have only one best friend. I have a lot of friends but no one is like him, if anyone else would be hear I would say the same but with the smile and he/she would drop it but he knows when I am pissed, angry, sad, happy, friendly etcetera and he like a stubborn taurus stood there and won't eave me until I told him, so now I just stop pushing him away. Even in this moment I act like this so he can ask to me.
"Elizabeth." I sighed.
"aside from her." he said still in urgent tone and dragging his chair more close to me. I chuckle a bit.
"There is no aside from her." I said. He blinked at me than leaned back on his chair rubbing his thing up and down like removing the sweating. He raise an brow at me to continue. "She.. She said about something about giving me a fistful of hell after I am married." I said, a bit hesitated at first but than relax. He looked at me like I've lost my mind or I am lost, I don't know it's hard to know what is he thinking. Suddenly he started to laugh. Now I've looked at him like he's crazy and I did.
"That's why you are so pissed." He didn't ask so I didn't answer. When he control him self, he took deep breath, putting his hand on his chest and making 'ho ho ho' noises. I put my index finger and thumb between my eyes. "Don't worry, Nico." He said, finally stopping his laugh. "What you told me about your wife-"
"My to-be-wife."
"She never let anything happened to her." He ignored me, "And by the way yo-"
"Bro, are you going to marry him?" Seth cut him off by opening the door and slamming those first words on my face. "If no than hurry up, Nora also had to come. I want to go home and dad keep scolding me because of you." He said and slam the door shut.
"Your family is mess." Adrian commented, we were both standing.
"Like yours not." I said pushing him and went to aisle. I took a deep breath and think this is the day, the very big day of my life. And the door opens -my breadth stopped- revealing the most beautiful woman I ever saw.
Nora Perspective:
I am sitting in bride's waiting room in front of the mirror. Looking at myself, and trying to believe that it is me. She did everything that can shattered me into pieces and no one pick those shatters, ever, but I can't wait to happen this marriage. This marriage is only way for me to get a revenge and a peace full life. This marriage is that important to me as a person breathing, his heart beating, his brain working. And I want same and only this marriage can save me.
There was click of a door and I got up from the chair, turning around I saw dad came in, he started to take steps towards me. "Hello sweat heart, You look so beautiful." Dad said looking at me.
"Really, I do?" I said not convinced. "But it is so weird." I said. He laughed.
"Yes, my princess. Just like your mother." He said, softly stepping towards me and cupping my face. "You are exact copy of your beautiful mother." He said and in his eyes I can tell how much he loves my mother. My mother. "I am so sorry, princess." he said with a pause, his voice shaking as tears came in his eyes on edge.
"Don't" I sterned.
"I didn't have to slap you on that day in front of everyone." He said taking my hands in his, " I am so sorry, I just overreacted and Sana pissed me off and-" He stopped and took a deep breadth, "none of this had happen to you" He sighed "No one of it." He said playing with my finger's.
"Dad?" I said. "Dad? its alright? I am fine." I called again. His eyes soften and he took me in his embrace and hug me tightly. I also hug him tightly, his chin on my head. His hand on my head, "I really love you, dad and I am going to miss you." I said not wanting to pull away. Who knows when this moment come again.
"I love you too, princess. I also going to miss you Nora." He said kissing my top of head and pulling away, "But I am glad you are going from here." He looked at me and tugged me to the door, "Come on Nora, it's a happy day. Why are you crying?" He said making me chuckle. Dad wipe my face and tugged my hand around his elbow. "Shall we?" I smiled and nod.
We walk out of bride room, The door open and he walked me to aisle, there, right there I saw him. He himself doesn't know what kind off hell he is puling me out off. I took a step forward and he stretch his hand. My savior, my to-be-husband, the first man who talk to me, who I smiled towards and who I smiled for.
Nicho-" I didn't let my father finish and grab his hand and drop my own father hand. I don't want this to be any late, it was enough for me. Nicholas was a little taken a back but maintain his posture and started smiling. I smile back at him. And he was again taken aback and this time he didn't tried to hide it. Bastard.
The marriage officiant started speaking.
"Will you Nora Duke daughter of David Duke accept Nicholas Bretons so on of James Bretons as your husband?" He asked.
"I do" I said almost immediately. The marriage officiant gave me odd look and I smile at him softly. People always tell me that my smile always soften the other person heart so I did his heart soften as he smiled back. Nodding towards me and giving me a wink he continue to Nicholas.
"Will you Nicholas Bretons son of James Bretons accept Nora Duke daughter of David Duke as your wife?"
"I do" he said, breathing hard.
"Now you may slip rings in each other fingers." He said.
A young man came beside Nicholas and hand him a beautiful ring he get it. And beside me my high school friend came who was really close to me gave me his ring. I take it. We both slip rings in each other hand.
"You may pronounce as husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." marriage officiant said to Nicholas. I was happy, I am married. He pull me out of that hell and pull me in his embrace. Well he really pull me in his embrace. My hands were in his before and now his hands were on my waist and his lips on mine. I don't even know when he kissed me.
But because it was my first kiss and I was happy and it was my wedding and who's lips were on mine was my officially husband so I bind my hand around his neck and tilt my head and kiss him hard as any bride had ever done to groom. His hands were tight against my waist as my lips on his.
