silent love, jenni loe [if you give a mouse a cookie read aloud TXT] 📗

I woke to frosty cold atmosphere of my room and the grim bare walls in which caged me. The window was still wide open from where it was left when my sister, Ella, opened it yesterday to get air into my room. Most stories start with the cliché start of the warm sun glistening over them but mornings are just not like that. I mean it’s always fucking cold and dreary.

I sighed remembering I had a date with hell today since I had to go to my mum’s best friend’s wedding, YAY! (By the way that ‘YAY’ was sarcasm) I don’t really like weddings. Maybe it’s because of the frightening ugly bridesmaids dress I had to wear at my mum’s wedding, or the fact that people believe that you need a huge celebration and a SERIOUSLY expensive rock around your finger.

I rubbed my eyes clearing my sleepy daze and cushioned my bear feet into my purple fluffy carpet. I pulled myself out of bed and forced my body towards my wardrobe. I flung the wooden door engraved with doves and flower petals and began pulling out a bridesmaid dress. It was a heart line dress, white, with rhinestones on the bottom of the dress and near top. I groaned at the girly puke of a dress. I know I’m being kind of harsh but I am not really the girly type I would rather wear casual clothes. Although I do like to dress up sometimes but today I felt like shit and just wanted sleep.

But I had to go. I trailed into my bathroom and unbuttoned my pyjama top and stepped out of my pyjama bottoms and stepped into the shower. My body began to relax and ease under the warm water pattering against my bare skin. After twenty minutes I strode out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. Once I reached my draws I grabbed my matching white lacy bra and pants, and put them on. I then grabbed the brides made dress and slung it over my large chest and slim stomach, shit I forgot how short it was. It barley reached over my ass.

I pulled my makeup bag out and placed some white eye shadow on my eyelid and all around my eye. After I painted a small black line on my eye lid and over the white eye shadow, I applied a small layering of mascara. After my eyes were done I brushed on a light covering of light pink blush and coat of colourless lip-gloss. After I had done my makeup I curled my blonde hair in ringlets and pinned most of it up into a braid around my head, like a crown. Then I grabbed my two inch heels my mum gave me to wear and forced my foot to fit into the strappy heel.

I grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I possibly could in these ridiculous heels, the sooner this wedding is over the quicker I can get out of these heels. I sprinted into the limo waiting outside of my house with my sister Lizzy inside. She is wearing a purple strap-less dress with black flats, she wasn’t a bride’s maid as you can tell. Lauren, my mum’s friend, and Lizzy didn’t get along too well. She matched the dress with a white pearl necklace. My mum sat opposite me while Lizzy sat next to me. Mum was wearing a long purple dress to match with Lizzy with black flats and her hair was in a bunch of messy curls flowing into her face.

We arrived at the wedding about an hour later; the ride was so boring I almost fell asleep! Lauren and my aunt Christy was waiting for our arrival since I was a bridesmaid. WOW! Lauren looked amazing; her dress was long and elegant and hugged her body in all the right places. Showing her curves perfectly, it was a royal red with white underneath. “aunt Christy!” Lizzy screeched ignoring Lauren. “Oh, lizzy darling!” Aunty Christy said in her heavy British accent. I ran up to Christy and cuddled her too “hi Auntie” I said smiling politely I then ran up to Lauren and gave her a huge bear hug “You look so beautiful Lauren!” I shouted while hugging her. “Thank you, Lex” she said smiling. Lauren grabbed my hand with hers and dragged me into the church.

Shortly after we arrived I shadowed Lauren down the aisle. Lauren looked so elegant with her veil and dress slowly trailing behind her. As I walked down the aisle I glanced amongst the faces either brimming with tears of joy, until I spotted a strangely familiar face. He was god like with sharp features and high cheek bones. I don’t remember knowing someone so handsome and attractive. When he saw me gawping at his stunning face he smiled and waved slightly.

When we reached the end of the aisle, I sat down on one of the benches with the other bridesmaids while Lauren and Max did their lines. I wonder who this guy is I mean I really don’t remember him, how could I be so fucking stupid to forget such an alluring and unforgettable face. After the lines had been said and they are now officially married we all sat with our families on separate tables except for me of course, APPARENTLY, bridesmaids have to sit on the bride’s table and next to a complete stranger.

I was seated next to an old man who seemingly can’t close his mouth when he eats, great just my luck! I rushed through my dinner trying to ignore the gravy dripping down his chin and the bits of chewed potato and meat being spat on everyone. After I had managed to chomp my food up quickly and chug down three glasses of wine and nearly  I dashed over to my mum and pulled up a spare chair.

“UGH! That was the most disgusting thing ever!” I complained to her “I had to sit next to a man with two and a half teeth who spat gravy everywhere!” I continued. “Dear I bet it wasn't that bad” she smiled, “are you fucking joking, you wasn't there! Having to re-live the food you just ate but this time it was chewed and being spat on you!” I protested. “Dear” she coughed staring at the light haired boy sat opposite me chuckling. “Shit” I said out loud and he replied with a soft smile. I didn't even realize there was some else here. “I’m so sorry really” I apologise getting up out of my seat “I’ll just go...” I apologise again, he probably thinks im a right bitch, just embarressed myself once again, well done lexi.

“No its fine, please stay” he laughed gesturing to the spare seat. I sat down and smiled politely at him. This is awkward I thought to myself. “Lexi, dear this is Ashton” she said gesturing to him. He smiled “nice to meet you again Lexi” he declared. I gazed at him and gasped remembering his gorgeous face from the church rows of benches. “Again?” I questioned.

“Yes” he smirked. “We met when we was two, however this is our official meeting” he grinned, “when we was two? No wonder I don't remember you” I laughed and he laughed with me “yeah I’m Lauren’s son” he smiled “oh my gosh, I do remember you! How did you have become so fucking hot?” I shouted, what the fuck was I doing?!

 He laughed and gave a lopsided smirk, making his face gleam. His hair was long, but only long enough to reach the nape of his neck. He also had a fringe which swayed across his forehead only just covering his eyebrows. His eyes were a light blue colour which stands out compared to his golden layered hair. He wore a dark black suite and a red tie what matched Lauren’s dress.

“Once you have finished checking me out, would you like to dance” he gloated smugly. “I was not checking you out!” I giggled “and of course I would”. His large hands curled around mine and he led me towards the dance floor where the bride and most of the guests were lovingly dancing.

 He placed his hand on my waist and the other still had mine in a tight clutch. He smiled and looked down at me. “You have beautiful eyes.” he whispered in my ear while slowly guiding me with the rhythm of the music. “Thanks” I said blushing and turned away to hide my face. He grinned stupidly making me laugh and rested his head on my shoulder. I didn't realize how much taller he was than me. But I am only 5’6 and he looked like a 6’2.

Ashton’s warm breathe brushing against my bare shoulder sent chills down my spine. He smiled against me at my reaction to him, it kind of pissed me off actually that he was laughing at me. “I’m sorry” he smirked “for laughing at you” I laughed at him and rested my head on his shoulder too.

“Do you believe in love at first sight?” he asked. I couldn’t help but express my amusement and laugh loudly at this “don’t be stupid” I replied jokingly. His eyebrows furrowed at my reaction and he lifted his head up and so did I. He cupped my face and made me look at him in his heart felt eyes.

“I’m not joking” he assured. He gently placed his plump and moist lips on mine and pecked my lips. “I’m serious Lexi” he violently embraced my lips with his and one of his hand wondered down my back and the other one grasped my hair.

His kiss grew more passionate as it changed to the next song, ironically it was ‘let’s get it on’ by Marvin Gaye. Ashton playfully bit the bottom of my lip then push away  from one another so he could clasp onto my hand. Ashton directed me to his car by hauling me forward and opening the passenger seat for me to step in.

 His car was nice it had black leather seat covers and appeared red from the outside, well from what I could tell since it was already pitch black outside. Ashton jogged around to the driver’s seat and jumped in. He turned the keys and turned the radio on. “What song do you want?” he asked in a sexy purr. “Hmmm… play I could be the one” I replied with a suggestive wink.

“Good choice” he replied while laughing at my wink. He passed me a box of CDs and I flicked through. Once I had found the CD I pushed it into the sterio and pressed play and as soon as the song started i attempted to sing along with the music.

“I could be the one to make you feel that way” I shouted at the top of my voice. “I could be the one to set you free.”  Ashton began to yell along with me until we reached his house and he turned his keys and turned off the music. He grabbed the keys and shoved them in his pocket.

It was dark and silent. And the only thing what lit the night up was the stars twinkling in the sky. Ashton turned to face me and gave me a seductive lop sided grin making my heart clench. He leaned forward and gently yet passionatley kissed me. I followed throught with his kiss and pushed him backwards in the driver's seat.

His kiss became more vicious and heated as his hands stroked down my back. I wrapped my legs around him as he lifted me up and opened the door. He disconnected our kiss and pressed the locked button on his car keys then turned to face me again.

I pressed my lips on his while he somehow managed to carry me into his house
