I think she had a short mental breakdown from all the stress, but it’s over now. Tyler explained to Ella, who nodded slowly.
I was too worried to tell Tyler that he was the crazy one so I just got up and dragged Ella towards the chair and sat back down, shoving random bottles and clips in her hands.
Hurry up and make me look beautiful ! I yelled.
Ella shook her head and chuckled, before quickly getting to work.
I’ll be downstairs waiting. Tyler said, walking to the door. And Sky ?
I looked up at him to see him stopped halfway out the door with a glint in his eye.
You’re already beautiful. He smiled sincerely at me and my heart softened. Before I could run up to him to inspect his eyes of tears and hug him, he was gone.
I looked back in the mirror to see Ella had quickly transformed my hair from the half up-do Jess had left it in, into a beautiful, elegant bun with a few curled strands hanging out by my face. It was a mix of braids and curls all in a bun, and it looked perfect.
You look stunning. Ella breathed out, admiring her’s and Jess’ work.
I stared back in the mirror and couldn’t help but appreciate their work. They hadn’t done too much, but that was what I loved about it. I still looked like Skylar. They had put on a deep shade of elegant pink lipstick on my plump lips, adding some bright color to my otherwise light make-up which consisted of eye-liner and some powder. My medium brown hair hung loosely in that elegant bun, the few curled strands framing my face well, and my slightly tanned skin was exposed on my neck and chest, before the beautiful white dress started out with a sweetheart neckline with tiny sparkles embedded at the top, and wrapped around my torso, before it erupted into a big poof at my bellybutton, the organza material fluffing out until it touched the floor, making a swishing noise whenever I walked. I truly did feel beautiful this day, but still not quite as beautiful as I felt when Nathan looked at me.
And now, the final touch. Ella grinned excitedly, slowly and carefully lowering a weightless veil over my head, without so much as rustling a single strand of my hair.
Okay now lets go before Nathan dies waiting ! Ella snapped us out of our admiring and I quickly stood up with her as we made it as fast as we could to the door ; well, as fast as we possibly could without ripping the beautiful dress.
Final- Tyler cut himself off as his eyes landed on me, and slowly, a proud smile took over his face.
Wow. My eyes snapped to Landon who was also admiring me with a proud smirk. We did good Ty.
Yeah we did. Tyler agreed, throwing his arm over Landon’s shoulder and pulling him into his side.
Ella and Jess shared a look of horror mixed with amusement while I started mumbling the lyrics to Bromance.
Not too soon, Tyler and Landon joined in, and then before we knew it, all five of us were singing the Bromance song.
I LOVE YOU, IN THE MOST HETEROSEXUAL WAY ! We all basically screamed, Tyler and Landon gripping each other while belting their hearts out.
Um guys, Nathan’s about to lose himself and Max told me to tell you to hurry up. Dustin appeared through the doors and looked up at us all.
The sad thing was, he didn’t even appear to look surprised.
And Landon ? Dustin looked up at him. Although it had been a year since I first met him, he still had to tilt his head way back in order to see us all properly.
Yeah ? Landon looked down at him with a smile.
Aren’t you supposed to be in there standing next to Max ? He asked, hooking his thumb back in the direction of the doors which led to the wedding hall. I really did hope these doors were sound proof.
Oh shit ! My idiot of a best friend swore, before sprinting off down the hallway. I said ship ! He yelled over his shoulder, before disappearing from around the corner, heading to the backdoor.
And L. S ? You look like a magical queen, Nathan’s going to be so excited. Dusting grinned up at me, causing my heart to melt at the kid.
I was so glad he got to be the ring-bearer. Thanks kid. Now don’t make me cry and ruin my makeup. I ordered, smiling jokingly yet feeling my emotions start to rise to the surface.
Be strong like Simba ! Dustin then yelled in encouragement, causing me to laugh off the nerves and avert another breakdown.
Okay, ready ? Tyler stared at me, offering his elbow.
Too bad because we don’t have time for that gushy ‘I’m so proud of my little sister’ moment and Jess will have my head if I make that black stuff on your face run so let’s go get you married ! He yelled all in one breath, grabbing my hand and placing it in the crook of his elbow, before Jess and Ella ripped open the doors right in front of us which would lead me to the love of my life.
The first thing that my eyes landed on was not the long white carpet sprawled out for me, nor the dozens of people who had abruptly turned in their chairs to stare at me, nor was it the beautiful decor of the building. No. My eyes instantly landed on the most beautiful human being ever and my breath was caught. His eyes had a mixture of relief and admiration as they connected with mine, and I tried to send him an apology through my eyes, but soon got distracted checking him out.
He looked absolutely charmingly handsome in his black tuxedo, fitting him well enough to show off his strong build, but not too much to outline every chiseled muscle. That was just for me. His messy dark hair had been styled neatly into a small quiff, complimenting his defined jawline and angular, sexy face. I had to restrain my hand from going up to my mouth to check for drool.
Once I was done eating him with my eyes, I was soon entrapped by those stunning emerald eyes and before I knew it, Tyler was letting me go and I was facing the guy who was my world. I stepped up to stand in front of him and he ever so delicately lifted the veil from my face, his eyes taking in my face.
Wow. He breathed out, causing my heart to beat faster.
We continued staring into each others’ eyes and not once did we look away. Not even when we heard the wailing sobs of Ella and Jess while the sermon talked on.
I could not hear a word he was saying even if I tried, because the sound of my erratically beating heart and the intensity and passion between Nathan and I was all too distracting to make a single word out from the balding fat man.
Do you, Nathan MacCallum, take Skylar Westbrook as your truly wedded wife ? The man’s voice somehow managed to reach the both of us as we turned to look at him staring expectantly at Nathan.
Nathan turned back to face me and I couldn’t help but bite my lip in anticipation.
I do. He answered.
My stomach exploded into butterflies and I felt my cheeks hurt from the gigantic smile on my face. Those two words made me want to jump into his arms and kiss the living daylights out of him. But of course I had to wait because we weren’t done yet.
