Dreams come true, chapter 6
I stood in front of the full length mirror, looking at my dress. It was plain white with some lace along the top and a corset style in the back. My mother and my best friend were beside me, just as anxious as I was for today.
"Sweetie you look wonderful." My mother said.
"Oh my god Sam, you look just wow." Alexis said.
"Thanks Alexis. This is actually happening. I'm going to be married to Tre." I said.
Alexis grabbed my waist from behind and hugged me.
"I'm so happy for you." She said.
I smiled and looked away.
"I think I'm getting cold feet." I admitted.
"No way, you are not leaving Tre there." Alexis said.
"She's right sweetie." My mother said.
I looked at myself again. My black hair was put up in a tight bun while a few strands framed my face. My make-up was as perfect as I could get it and my white shoes sparkled in the light.
"I can do this." I told myself.
"I'm going to make sure everything is alright, and get your father as well." My mother said.
"She's more excited than you." Alexis said.
I rolled my eyes and adjusted my dress.
"That would be my mother for you." I said as I turn around to admire the back.
"Now that you're going to get married, when are the kids coming?"
"Kids?"
"You know the little things that run around and such." Alexis said.
"Don't scare me."
"Sorry, but I really want you to have kids so I can baby sit them and be their favorite person."
"Dudette, you're their official aunt."
"I am!"
"Yes you are, if I have any that is."
"So I can spoil them rotten?"
"Spoil to your hearts content."
"You are so lucky. Dan doesn't want kids. He says they'll just get in the way."
"Dump him girl. You want kids, and he doesn't, that's not a good combo."
"I should, but I just can't. I love him."
"Awe, I've never heard you say that."
"I think I need a hug." Alexis said.
I give Alexis her hug and then I hear the music.
"Oh god, here it goes." I said as I start to feel butterfly's in my stomach.
"Calm down."
"Calm down? I'm supposed to be the tough chick that doesn't get scared and panicky."
"Don't be tough for once in your lifetime. Be the sensitive one who's excited to get married. I have to go, see you in a minute."
Alexis gave me her perfectly white smile before she turned around and left me. My father came beside me and I took his arm.
"Are you excited sweetie?" He asked.
I gulped.
"More like scared."
"Don't be. This is the most important day of your life."
We start to walk down the aisle and the instant I saw Tre, everything melted away. Tre gave me his smile that I loved and I gave my father a kiss on the cheek as he had to leave me and sit down. Tre offered his hand and I took it. The ceremony was about to begin.
Tre carried me up our hotel and dropped me on the bed. I giggled and felt him lay down beside me. Tre was a little drunk and so was I.
"Baby, you look so beautiful." Tre said.
"You look so handsome. I can't believe I was having second thoughts."
Tre stopped smiling.
"You were having second thoughts?"
"Yeah."
"That hurts more than you can imagine. I think I should go for a walk."
"Tre, wait, no."
Tre got up off the bed and slammed the door to the hotel behind him. I felt so bad for what I said. I hurt Tre when I didn't mean to. How could I be so stupid? The best day of my life was a mess...what was the rest going to be like?
"Sweetie you look wonderful." My mother said.
"Oh my god Sam, you look just wow." Alexis said.
"Thanks Alexis. This is actually happening. I'm going to be married to Tre." I said.
