"Mei, Mei, time to go get your hair done," Mom said shaking me. "No, I want to sleep," I groaned. "Tomorrow's Saturday, everything has to be ready before tomorrow," She explained. "You can make my hair tomorrow," I whined. "It's your wedding do whatever you want," She said and left my bedroom. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment and got ready to start the day. I haven't rested all week, Mom made it her mission to make me look ‘absolutely perfect for the wedding’. Those were her exact wordsNail appointments, different skin care products, and healthy meals. Making sure I exercised so I wouldn't gain extra weight and making me avoid meals she thought would make me break out. I was tired, I really wanted a buffet of chocolate and ice cream to keep me energized..."Miss, it's time to get ready, the dressmaker is here with your dress and your mom brought the hairstylist for a touch-up on your hair," the maid informed me. I groaned and rolled out of bed. I walked into my
The doors of the church opened and I was greeted with soft tunes welcoming me, the bride. Everyone stood up and turned to look at dad and I. My face grew bright red and I couldn't have been more happy about the veil covering my face. Dad tapped my hand lightly and we took slow steps towards the altar. The church was beautiful. The aisle gleamed in radiant white, reflecting the lights with a captiating shimmer. The edges were adorned with a magnificent arrangement of white and golden flowers. This beautiful guided the eyes towards the base of the of the staircase, where it gracefully ascended towards the altar. And the chairs were covered in gold silk chair cover . It must be so comfortable having to sit on them. I smiled at the decoration and looked up to see Min Jun staring and waiting patiently for me, his bride.He was wearing a suit, it had to be the suit he picked. The suit he wouldn't show me. He looked magnificent. His hair looked like it had been cut, he actually made an attem
We got to the reception and it looked amazing. The wedding planners had outdone themselves, they had brought my dream to life. The white tent were the reception was holding was shaped like a castle. in the tent there was six tabIes, five of them had six chairs but the last one had two chairs, which looked like they belonged in the castle. The cushion of the chairs were white while the headrest, the handles and the legs were gold. Every table was covered with a white cloth, on the top was a three step snack tray and plates for the guest to serve themselve. On the first step of the snack tray, there were vanilla cupcakes with strawberry filling, white sugar icing and gold springles, the second step had scones and biscuits and the third step had cookies.in the middle of the tent was a huge 5 step cake. On top of the cake was a figurine of a man and woman at their wedding. At the sides of the tents were tables holding buffets of different meals and fruits. I smiled and turned to look at
An abrupt scream had the attention of everyone. I looked through the crowd to see a lady I had never seen in my life. She didn't look like someone my parents had invited and Min said he was only bringing his friend. She quickly apologized and turned to pick up the plate she had dropped. She was about my height, maybe an inch taller than my 5'6 ft self, her blonde hair looked like it had been dyed. The black mini dress she was wearing hugged her hips and accentuated her curves. She was beautiful but she looked out of place. I made a move to walk in her direction but was pulled into the arm of my arch nemesis, well he became my arch nemesis the way he thought he could connive with my parents to get me to be his wife. "What do you want?" I asked Lin as he pulled me onto the dance floor. "I just want to dance with the bride, is there anything wrong with that?" He asked me as he spun me around. As he pulled me back into his hands, I caught sight of Min Jun dragging the stranger out of th
At 10pm the guests were led out of the tent towards my getaway car, they formed a guard of honor, they stood on both sides of the sidewalk and left the middle for me to walk by. The tent was almost empty, it was just mom, dad, Min Jun and I left in it. "Are you sure you do not want to come home with us?" Mom asked. She had been trying to convince me to spend my first night as a married woman in the Lin mansion. "Ama, I cannot do that, I should spend the first night with my husband," I said holding her hand. "I'm not prepared to let you go," She said and slowly tears rolled down her face. I had never seen my mom openly cry but here she was sobbing. I wiped her tears while tears rolled down my eyes too. "Mom don't cry," I whispered as I frantically tried to wipe her tears that kept flowing. "My baby is leaving," She muttered through her sobs. "I'm...I'm...I'm not leaving, I will visit, we live in the same country, probably the same state," I said trying to convince her to stop cryi
As the clock struck twelve, I walked out of the bathroom shattering the stillness of the bedroom. Few strands of my black locks had escaped my bun and were plastered against my neck and face. I brushed them against the bun with my palm and finally decided to address the problem at hand 'Min Jun'Min laid on the bed, eyes wide open and monitoring my movements. I walked shyly away from the bathroom door gripping the rope of my loose red satin robe. The robe was knee length and was covering the thigh length red satin night gown underneath it. "I'm so tired," I muttered as I walked towards the wardrobe, my bare feet weaved through the plush carpet which made my steps barely audible. I got to the wardrobe and removed the satin robe exposing my pale thighs to Min. He saw my thighs at the wedding, there was no reason to be shy, I repeated trying really hard to not feel shy. I walked to the side of the bed and stepped in. "Hi," I said. "Hi," he replied. "We should sleep," i said and got u
"Almost," I sighed and stood up. I needed little space from Min Jun and I couldn't stare at his face. Min Jun walked over to my seated position and continued to stare at me. "Are you shy?" he asked. "No, I just want to sleep but you were really close to my face," I said, lied on the bed and turned to face the sheets. "isn't that uncomfortable?" He asked me. My muffled voice denied his allegations and remained face planted against the linen. It was getting harder to breath but it was better than looking at Min. I felt the bed dip and could no longer feel him staring. I turned to the demarcation and saw his figure settling intoot his side of the bed. "Good night Mrs. Lee, we should talk later," he said. I mouthed my answer and turned to look at the canopy of the bed. I should be happy, I got what I wanted. I was married, I could do everything on my bucket list but something didn't feel right. Maybe I just need to sleep, I have gone through a whole lot of stress planning this wedd
A tall pale man about 6 ft tall walked out of the kitchen towards us. His words got stuck in his throat when he noticed there was someone other than Mn Jun in the living room. "Hey Mrs. Lee," he greeted. "I'm Cheng," He added and stretched his hand towards me. I looked at his long slender fingers and shook his hand. "I'm Mei Xing," I corrected. "To what do I owe this visit?" he asked but the question seemed aimed at Min. "Hmm Miss, I will go wait in the car," Mr. Jiang said. He didn't give me to chance to answer as his retreating body was already closing the door. "Do you want to sit?" Cheng asked pointing towards the single chair in the living room. In the living room, there were two chairs. A three seater sofa than faced a 26 inch TV and the single chair that was placed awkwardly in the corner of the room. "Thank you," I said and opted to sit on the three seater chair. "Are you going to sit?" I asked Min. "Let me get you something to drink," he replied and disappeared into the
