GARNET

I rubbed my cold hands together, emitting deep breaths with my heart leaping out of my chest along with my energy being drained from me. I shivered violently, an immense feeling of happiness and nervousness mixed inside of me. 

I curled my toes and felt so… alone because my parents were not here to put their hand over my head and give me their blessing and this thought was breaking my heart. 

“This is it, Garnet. The end.” 

I wanted to walk down the aisle with my father. Just thinking about it tears my heart and I don't want any sad thought to ruin my wedding. 

I quickly wiped the tears that brimmed in my eyes so that they wouldn't ruin my makeup. I inhaled deeply and stood up.

I looked at my reflection and smiled. I wonder how Roy would react, I didn't even let him see my wedding dress. My floral floor-length gown.

The corset kinda suffocated me but it was worth it. I looked attractive and elegant in my wedding dress. 

The day I used to dream about became true and I was one step closer to attain my love and be his forever. 

"Nervous?" Hailey asked from behind. 

Since I didn't have any girl friends, Hailey and Lesley were my bridesmaids. I smiled and nodded, "Very."

"It's natural, everyone gets nervous. I am sure he must be nervous too." Aunt said entering the room. Her eyes flicked in awe, she kissed my forehead.

"You are looking so beautiful. God Bless You." 

"But, no one would be as nervous as you. It's not an arranged marriage that you are like this. You have known Roy. You even live with him- not to mention." Lesley teased. 

"Shut up, I will see you when you see Lucien." I smirked. 

Lesley smiled sadly and said in a low tone, "It has been a year since I last saw him." 

I could clearly see she is missing him a lot, not that they talk on facetime but still.

"Good Luck." Hailey said from behind. 

We both laughed a little and she blushed. Just at that moment Eri came with uncle. She ran to me and hugged me,

"You are looking like a queen, Nut!" Her innocent eyes gleamed in adoration. 

"I am his queen." I giggled/.

"Don't worry Eri, we will also find you a king." Lesley teased her.

"No, No, No. I am fine." 

She put her hands in the air. I chuckled and patted her head. "I love you, Sister Garnet." Eri said, looking at me. 

A tear pricked in the corner of my eyes as I hugged her, "I love you too, Erica." I whispered and pulled away.

Uncle put his hand over my head and smiled, "May you live a long and happy life." He said. I lowered my head and Lesley handed me the bouquet of white roses.

"Here you go, especially prepared by your husband." She winked and I blushed.

I then wrapped my other arm around Uncle's arm as we walked out.

The doors opened and I could see the person before me, looking captivating as always. Roy's beautiful sapphire eyes bore into mine as I walked further. 

A shy smile crept upon my lips and I lowered my head. My heart began to race, only those eyes of love which held me imprisoned with no intentions of letting me go and I didn't even want it- waiting for me.

A slow walk towards my happiness. To my love, to my dreams. A walk towards the doorsteps of eternal love and dedication.

I stopped at the altar. Roy offered me his hands and I took it and when I did, I felt the whole world. 

"Just promise to hold my hand and never let it go." He said in his deep melodious voice. 

"I promise." I whispered looking at him with an everlasting emotion of fondness. 

We stood at the altar, I kept looking down. I could feel that piercing gaze of Roy, staring intensely at me which is giving butterflies to my stomach.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." He said sincerely.

"And you are the most charming man I have ever seen." I said in a faint tone. 

“I know.” He chuckled. 

"Finally... After such a long time." He breathed out.

"Long?." I said with a suppressed giggle.

"One year. And a year of our relationship’s origin. Two years and six months altogether and you call it short? Do you have any idea about my impatience?" He chuckled.

The priest cleared his throat as we both hushed. 

I looked at Roy and he winked at me with his exquisite eyes. My heart skipped a beat and I averted my gaze.

We exchanged our rings and the gratification built inside me was incomprehensible.

"Do you, Roy Layne, take Garnet Beth as your lawfully wedded wife?" A feeble sensation of elation hit me when I heard it.

"I do." He said proudly in an assertive voice. 

I looked at him as a blush rose to my cheek because of his constant stare which was taking over my senses. God, he can even sway me with his eyes.

"Do you, Garnet Beth, take Roy Layne as your lawfully wedded husband?"

I swallowed the lump in my throat as my heart screamed the answer but I still spoke in a low gentle tone, "I do" 

A round of applause for the new couple!

"I pronounce you as the husband and the wife." 

A quiet laugh escaped my lips as I turned my head away. I looked at Roy slyly and smirked and he smirked back.

"You may now kiss the bride." 

And finally my poor Roy can let out his desperation for all this time.

"You made me wait for so long.." Roy whispered, moving me close to him. 

He wrapped his one hand around my back and pulled me close. I put my hands over his chest and looked at him. 

Our eyes reflected the same sensation of craving and allure for each other. Fascinated by the desire to feel each other, we could wait any longer but that wait was worth it.

"I won't hold back." He said huskily and before I could answer, he pulled me into a sweet passionate kiss which is the most beautiful kiss of my life. 

A divine feeling of ultimate rapture surged in me when he kissed me. Euphoria filled me and tempted me to intoxicated myself in him completely. Enthralled by the urge to compete with his talented lips, I tried to move my lips in sync with his.

I didn’t know about my lips but my heartbeat and my feelings surely moved in rhythm with his in such a mystifying way of treasured feelings. 

The melody of love rang in my mind and no place existed for me as I found my world in his embrace.

His delicate lips slowly pulled away from me as we both smiled. 

"You make my life beautiful, Garnet. The ecstasy to give you in my life is inexplicable.” My heart was deluged in his love when his eyes bore into mine as he began to say.

"Roy, I never thought a day like this would come when I will offer myself to someone but here I am, ready to be yours.” I whispered as my lips began to quiver from the extreme happiness.

“I had fallen from the shadows; fragmented. You are the one who gathered me and made me who I am now, you lit my path.” He chuckled.

A tear of happiness was released from both of our eyes. My whole being craves him. My everything became his. I am his. 

Mrs Roy Layne.

“You gave my life a meaning and that's the moment where I want to stop and live it forever. You found my emotions I lost long ago.” He continued, intertwining his fingers with mine to forge perfection.

“You found my lost heartbeat, you gave me a home. I have become yours and want to reside in your eyes because they show me the scenery of love I never even imagined.“

We both smile while glistening with those everlasting emotions of endearment and affection. 

“No words can explain what I feel for you but I am blessed to have you in my life. I love you so much, Garnet... Garnet Layne.." 

His words never fail to warm my heart. They are a source of lasting benediction for me. 

“Oh, Roy, Your name is etched in my mind. I have given my heart to you. I have become yours.” My eyes teared up in happiness. His words evoked a tender pacification inside me.

Getting bound with each other for the rest of our lives and wanting nothing but this moment to last forever so that we can engrave it in the depth of our soul.

“It's like there was a heavy rain along with a storm but it was all worth it because of the rainbow that came afterwards and you; you are my rainbow.” 

My smile grew wider, telling what he induced in my desolated heart, etching an unforgettable harmony in my heart.

“My hope of a new tomorrow and my every moment with you is the most beautiful moment of my life. If I have you, I have all the riches of heaven with me. I love you so much, Roy.." 

He engulfed me in a hug and kissed my forehead, letting me stay in those arms of solace filled with emotions of passion and adoration while becoming one.

Being so powerful that nothing in this world can part us again. The point where I became his and he became mine.

Forever.
