Chapter 56 56
Vanessa's Pov
"I expected you to be the last person to cry" I laughed, damping Autumns tears
"I can't just believe my younger brother is about to start his own family. His own is that bad because he can't come over to our place cos he's a man. He'll have to fend for himself and his family and always be there. He'll be far away from us." She sniffed
"Did you say I won't come over. It'll interest you to know that once it's all too much, I'm running back to your house" Jason joked
"Oh my goodness! You look so so good, twin" I smiled, admiring him
He's been in the dressing room for quite sometime now.
"Like hell, you would come over to MY house of all places" Autumn laughed
"Don't cry..I'm not dying" He smiled, admiring the reflection of himself on the mirror
"Yeah whatever. I need to go check up on my baby. I'm sure Edward needs a helping hand" Autumn arranged her dress, walking out of the room. She was wearing an emerald green that stopped below her knees. It clung to her body. She was looking beautiful in it.
"How do you feel?" I sighed, walking up to my brother. I stood at his back, admiring myself too in the mirror
"Nervous" He admitted truthfully.
"It's showing" I rubbed on his back lightly
"Really?"
"Tell me what you're thinking?" I picked up my phone and clicked on the play button of "WOW" by Zara
I've been currently obsessed with that song, don't blame me.
"Well, I feel overwhelmed. I don't feel like running but I feel a lot of pressure. I feel like I'll not be good enough. I feel like shouting" He laughed
"Hey. Do you love her, though? Do you trust her?" I said, moving my body rhythmically to the beat of the song
"I do"
"Why? Why do you feel like she's the one for you?" I asked
"She has to be the one for me. I really love her. She's understanding and calm and intelligent and so many things. Oh, the way she handles little kids" He smiled
"Don't let her down then" I cheered, shaking his body to the beat too. "Make it drop, drop, drop..." I sang to him. "Drop all those negative thought!"
"Thank you so much, half" He hugged me.
"Anytime." I patted his back. "I gotta go. See you inside there" I picked my phone and turned off the song that was repeating itself.
I walked out of the room. Took a deep breathe before walking towards the direction of the temple.
"Oh shit" Richard said, eyeing me up and down
"Can I sit here, My good sir?" I smiled
"You can sit on me as well" He said cockily
"You're in the temple, pervert!" I whisper yelled, slapping his chair playfully I sat.
"I can't believe my eyes right now babe" He said, taking my hand into his
"Shhhh... It's starting" I said and we both turned to face the door
I'd spare you the details of how the wedding went and all but it was beautiful. Silver really rocked her Silver gown. I liked how she chose silver color instead of white. She looked really beautiful. Her parents were cheering and crying. It was such a sad sweet moment. Once we were done with the wedding, I introduced my man to everybody I was good with.
Currently, we were in the reception hall I decorated. I could see the glee in Silvers eyes when she saw the Chocolate fountain. She kept pointing at different things, while whispering to my smiley brother. I felt fulfilled
"This is awesome, Vanessa. You really did this?" My mum asked
"She's really good at what she does. This is just one of it, Ma" Richard said proudly.
"Thank you" I squeezed his hand underneath the table
"Toast!" One of Jason's friend shouted.
You all thought he doesn't have friend's right? Well, his friends and colleagues are here.
Everyone carried their glass up as the guy toasted to sweet things for his friends. Once he was done, we cheered and the party continued.
"I'll be back. I need to get drink" Richard said to me.
"Okay babe. Don't get lost"
"That's one fine man there" Aunty Shirley said, earning a nod from her kids.
"We'll be back" Rebecca said, giving me a naughty glare while she pulled Matthew with her
"We know what you're about to do but we won't point it out" My dad said
"You just did" Catherine laughed.
"My boyfriend has been away for a long time. I'll be back" I excused myself.
I began looking around for Richard. I hope everything is okay.
I sight a familiar figure standing with a slender female figure. A good distance was kept between the two of them and also, the way she was pushing out her boobs and twirling her hair, I knew she was the one doing the flirting.
"Oh there you are babe?" I pecked his cheek
"Missing me already?" He held my waist possessively
Just how I like it
"Who's this?" I pressed my body to his
"Oh! I couldn't save her name in my head." He smiled at the fuming girl. "You were talking about us leaving right?" He asked
"Yeah, if you're done with this one" The bitch spoke
The audacity
"She's -"
"I'll handle it." I stopped Richard. "Okay, plastic bimbo. I'd refrain from using a seditious word on you because I'm legal and can be sued, not like you'd dare but because I'm aware of the law. He's off the market. He's taken so you can stick your boobs inside and drop your freaking hands down before you cut them from twirling them around your fingers" I pulled her hand down from her hair
"Also, I'd appreciate it if you refer me as Vanessa. I deserve such respect." I patted her hair. "Now shuu! Run along Bambi" I shooed her away
"You two deserve each other. Motherfuckers" She hissed
"Take your job somewhere else!" I yelled
"That was hot." Richard said, gaining my attention
"Hi, there" I smiled at him
"What other feature do you have?" He laughed, pulling me close.
"Wearing thongs under a pretty gown?" I whispered
"I'd tear that gown if this wasn't your brothers thing" He growled
"Save that energy for when we get back" I said, kissing him
I kissed him in a way that I got lost in it. He shamelessly smooched my ass. I know we were gaining attention because the hairs on my body were standing already.
"I like you so so much" Richard said, resting his forehead on mine
"Get a room!" Someone yelled
I flipped the person off
"Get a partner!" Richard said, laughing
"Let's go and put up with the rest of today yeah?" I held his hand tight and led him to our table
"Don't sway your hips that way babe" He said
"Or what? Ow!" I laughed when he smacked my ass
"I'm shameless. I'm proud of what I own" He winked at me while I glared at him
"Took you long enough" Joseph said, looking at us
"I had to set things straight for some chick. Where did we stop?" I smiled at their surprised faces
"You didn't..."
"Fight? Oh no dad. She's not worth it" I shrugged
"Did she kill it?" Aunty Shirley asked
"She sure did" Richard pecked my cheek
"That's my girl!" My mum and Aunt Shirley said simultaneously
"Okay! Today is about Jason please" I yelled
I waved my sister who was sitting with her husband and his family. Our table couldn't contain all of us.
We all enjoyed the rest of the night. We ate, danced, chilled, laughed and played all night long. I like how peaceful it was. Most importantly, I'm happy Richard was having the best time of his life with my big family.
