smiles. I turned my head sideways and pretended not to see them. Suddenly, the wedding song came on. I looked at the aisle but saw no one coming. Did she punk out? I looked away, fearing that that was the cause. I noticed the priest next to me then. He leaned over to me. " She'll come. Don't worry." I smiled and thanked him. It made me feel a bit of relief. I watched the aisle again. No one came. She's not coming. I let my head hang in shame. I really thought she would come. There was a sudden noise of gasps. I looked back up and smiled. Christal was coming down the aisle looking as stunning as ever. She wore a big, pearl white dress and her veil was so transparent you could see her beautiful face. She walked with my father. He whispered something in her ear as he lead her up to me. She nodded and walked the rest of the way to me. I grabbed her laced covered hands and felt her squeeze my hands. I smiled and we turned to the priest. My heart sped up as he talked. This girl will be my wife and I will love and care for her as long as I live. Christal- Happily Ever After?

 

When I was younger, I used to sneak into the villager's weddings and watch as the bride and groom exchanged vows. I even memorized what they said. Now I was thankful because I was getting married. I was both happy and hesitant. Should I be doing this? I looked at Daniel for guidance. His face showed confidence. I sighed quietly and looked at the priest. He was speaking but I couldn't quite concentrate so I just gave up hearing him and stared at Daniel. He's so damn hot. God! I just wanted to rip his clothes off right there. I have to wait until the honeymoon! Ugh!

My ankles were killing me. The dresser made me wear what they call " stilettos." I don't know why. I could hardly walk in them, they wouldn't even be seen under this gigantic dress, and they made me late coming to my wedding. Stupid things! I can't wait to take them off! Once again, I thought of the honeymoon. My heart pounded fast. I was still a virgin so I didn't know what to do when you have sex. All I knew was that you needed two people. A shiver went down my back as I got an image of Daniel's naked chest. His abs looked like stone. They gleamed in the sun light. A purr escaped from me. The priest glanced at me but didn't stop talking. I stopped breathing. Did I actually just do that out loud? Daniel squeezed my hands. I looked up at him and saw he was smiling. Ah! He's so cute when he smiles! I still couldn't believe a day ago I hated him. I took a deep breath and tried to listen to the priest again. " Christal, do you take Daniel as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" Daniel stared through the veil, into my eyes. I didn't hesitate." I do." The ring bearer held up the pillow that held two rings. I grabbed the one I chose the day before for Daniel. I spoke the words that I've memorized for years but this time they weren't just words. They actually meant something. I slipped the ring onto Daniels fourth finger. He smiled at me and then repeated the vows. He slowly put the ring on my finger. Finally, it was time to kiss. Daniel gripped the veils edges and pulled it up, revealing my face. He leaned in and we shared a gentle kiss that made my bones feel cold. " We're married," Daniel whispered as we walked down the aisle together. I smiled and tried to protect my face from getting hit by the rice the people were throwing. " Yeah, we are. What do we do now?" " Well, we could stay here and speak with the villagers or we could go on our honeymoon. It's your choice." We were getting closer to the carriage that waited in the front of the house. I laughed. " My choice? Then, I chose....staying here." He stopped walking. " Okay." I laughed hard and pulled him to the wagon. We got in and sat next to each other. " But Christal," he said with confusion in his voice. " I thought you wanted to stay and speak with the villagers?" I smiled. " Shut up." " Why? You said you wanted to stay?" I looked at him. " Are you serious?" " Yes, you're telling me to stay but you're pulling me away. Which is it?" " Daniel, I was joking." " You didn't sound like you were." " Well, I was. You take things too serious." " No, I don't!" " Yes, you- Daniel, are we seriously fighting right now?" " No." A smile broke out in his face. " It was a joke." " What?! Ughhhh, you're a.....a jerk!" I pushed him away, laughing. He grabbed me and kissed my neck. I giggled. " I'm sorry. Forgive me, wife." I ran my hands through his golden hair. " Nope." " What do I have to do to earn your forgiveness?" My heart sped up. " You'll see." He ran his hands against my arm. " Okay. Errrr, Furlin, drive." " What?" I asked. Just then the carriage moved forward. " Oh, never mind." Daniel smiled and kissed my arm. I shivered. " Daniel, lets not do this now." " Do what?" he asked, acting innocent. I giggled. " Daniel." " Fine." He sat back and stared out the carriage. " Awww, did I upset you?" I laid my head on his shoulder and giggled uncontrollable. He laughed along with me. " Furlin, could you drive faster?" " Yes, sir," a low male voice answered. I tapped Daniel. " Your eeexcited." He licked his lips. " Maybe. Maybe not." I giggled. " You aaaare!" His smile grew. " Why do you make me suffer?" " I like seeing you suffer." He grabbed my chin and stared deeply into my eyes. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. " Do you want a kiss?" I was starting to feel faint. His soft, pink lips were inches away from mine. I could almost feel their warmness. I nodded. He let me go. " Too bad. You have to wait. We can't do this now." " What?" I cried. He laughed by himself. I pushed him away." That's not funny!" " It is to me." I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. He teased me for about the next thirty minutes. " Prince Daniel," Furlin spoke. " You're here." Daniel smiled and jumped out the carriage. He helped me get out. " Ugh! I hate this dress," I complained. " Thanks, Furlin!" The driver pulled on the reins of the white horse and drove away. Daniel turned back to me. " I think I can help you with that." Heat rose to my face. Daniel winked and began to walk forward. That's when I noticed we were on a beach. There was a small ship near. I struggled to keep up with Daniel. " Where are we going?" He turned around and realized I needed help. He ran back to me and took my  hand in his. " We're going to a small island I own." " You own an island?" He nodded. " Is it that shocking? I mean I am known as the prince." " Still. Wow. So how are we going to get there?" " That boat over there will take us." " So how do we get on the boat?" We turned right. " There's a dock up ahead." " Why do we need a duck?" I asked, totally confused. " No. Not a duck a dock. D-o-c-k." He chuckled. " Oh." We got closer to what he called a "dock." The ship waited there for us. Daniel grabbed my waist and helped me up. A shiver went through my whole body. I looked back at Daniel. How come he never shivers? Daniel put his hand on my back and steered me to the rear of the ship. I stared out at the blue/green ocean. I smiled as a small fish jumped out of the water.  Daniel pointed something out. " That's a dolphin." Suddenly, a huge, weird looking fish jumped out of the water, twirled in the air, and finished off by making a clean dive into the water. " Whoa! That was amazing!" Daniel nodded. He leaned close to my ear. " I can do that." " No, you can't!" " I know." He grinned. " I was trying to impress you." " Hey, you don't need to impress me anymore. I married you, didn't I?" " Yes. Yes, you did."I laughed at his stupidity. He smiled at me but his voice turned serious. " I've been meaning to ask you a question. What did my father whisper in your ear when he was walking you down the aisle?" A chill went through my body. " He said, um, that I would make a good wife but," I stopped not knowing if I should tell Daniel what I thought of that. " But?" he urged me to continue. " But it sounded as if he was saying I would make a good wife to...him." I waited for Daniel to say something but he didn't. He stared beyond the sea. Somewhere only he saw. " Daniel?" He spoke without moving. " He's been acting weird, lately." I licked my chapped lips. The lipstick the stylers put on me only made my lips drier. You look good, they said. Retards! I let my anger pass quickly and went back to what Daniel said. " You know there use to be a rumor 'bout your dad. That he, uh, never mind." Daniel was too busy staring off but five minutes later he looked back at me. " I'm sorry. What did you say?" " I said there use to be a rumor saying that your dad was a," I laughed. " a sorcerer." Daniel smiled. " Thats crazy! Sorcerers aren't real!" I nodded. " I know but they say thats the reason the street rats rebelled." " But I thought the street rats rebelled because of the mistreatment?" " Well if that was the case don't you think we would of rebelled again? I mean nothing has changed? And if so, for the worst." Daniel considered that. " okay, so lets say my father is a sorcerer. Why would the street rats rebel?" " Well your dad could of done something evil." " Like what?" Daniel was putting some real thought into this. I smiled. " I don't know. It's just a rumor. A really dumb rumor. Ugh, I'm going to take these shoe's off. They're killing me!" Daniel stared back at the sea. I
