After practice, we went back to the shop again (guess who requested that). Everyone was talking about a group name as we ate our ice-creams. Of course, Emma was still working so we made her sit with us.
"Why don't we call it Leroy's Squad?" Leroy brought up suddenly as we thought of how we should call our squad now. , and we grimaced at that.
"That's the dumbest name I've heard of!" Hannah retorts. She's gotten comfortable around Leroy and now they're always teasing each other.
"Well, what's the 'perfect' name then smarty Hannah?" Leroy raised an eyebrow.
"I'll call it, Teen Titans," She says and we burst into fits of laughter. I told her to try and impress Leroy by being funny, but she doesn't r

She said with a smile on her face, some of her wrinkles due to age were showing. I’m guessing she’s around her early fifties, just like mom. She moves gracefully, in her red dress and high stilettos. She looks like Hannah and Luke since she has blonde hair and green eyes. I haven’t seen her mother last time at Aunt Maggie’s mansion, so it’s the first time we met each other. She’s the sister of Aunt Maggie right? She’s probably their mother, "Oh, Good afternoon Mrs. Cooper. I am Snow." I said, trying to introduce myself and be as polite as possible. "Oh hello Snow. Call me Aunt Anna,” she said, her gentle voice calming me. Aunt Anna? I smiled shyly at her, "Oh, okay Aunt Anna. Your house is wonderful." I complimented, attempting a small chat with her.
"It's okay," I said to Luke. I then started talking about my family. "My dad died due to a stroke, and I've been working hard to support us, that's why I am working at Eion's ice cream store." I glanced at Eion who was avoiding my gaze. I felt like I was a beauty contestant and was asked. I wanted to impress Aunt Anna..the mother of my crush...to see if she can approve of me. We talked for minutes and minutes and I remained steady and calm. She really is kind and I think she likes me. Well, not that I’m just assuming it or anything. After dinner, I help her clean the table. I even offered to wash the dishes because I wanted to impress her. "No, it's okay, go to the living room and have fun." She said, refusing my offer. "But I insist.."
"Why is EIon sleeping here?" I tried to ask them, curious why Eion is here. He has his own house, right? "He usually camps here when his mind is not clear. Don't mind him." Hannah replied like it was the most usual thing in the world. Well, I was not close with my cousins so I didn’t experience something like this…guess they really are close with their family and relatives. We then spent the night playing a few cards until we finally fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night, my throat dry. Thirsty, I stood up and headed to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. I went to the living room, too awake to fall back to sleep when I remembered Eion was sleeping by the sofa.
Eion's POV I really hate her. Nosy. Loud. Annoying. Irritating. Blatant. Annoying. I guess I said that again... And Pretty... Wait what?! Pretty? More like a hag! Admit it... I won't because she isn't. Well, if you say so...
“Not sure if you know this but when we first met I got so nervous I couldn't speak” The wedding is now starting and sponsors are now walking down the aisle. The song 'Beautiful in white' by Shane Filan was playing. The church was filled with many people, sitting in rows of seats. Photographers, friends, relatives, coworkers, colleagues, and other people attended the wedding. The fancy designs and decorations made me gawk, admiring every little detail of it. The dim lighting and the white daisies attached to the arch in the stage were like leading us in something like a fairy tale. Everything was just...magical.The priest was already on the stage, smiling kindly.
After the wedding, we immediately went to the reception. The reception was in a famous high-end restaurant. Tables and chairs were placed in each corner, the beige colored-tablecloth was placed on each table. The bouquet of daisies is placed on each table. In a corner were daisies styled in a heart form. On the ceiling placed a cloth styled in a fancy manner. Chandeliers are located high above, slightly lighting the room since the sunlight was entering through the big transparent windows, lighting up the whole reception. In front was a stage where the newlywed couple was sitting on a chair. They were surrounded by people, giving them hugs, and congratulating them. The soft tune that was playing from the speakers was masked by the chattering, laughing, and giggling of the people around.
Soon after that, I saw my mom heading towards us with her own plate of food. "Snow, do you want chocolate-?” She blinked at me, then looked at Luke from beside me once she noticed him, “Why hello there handsome... You must be Luke, I suppose?" Mom said, sitting right beside me, while Luke was on my left. Luke broke into a grin seeing my mother, "Hi, Mrs. Waterstrings. Yes, I am Luke. It's a pleasure to meet you," He said before complimenting her with, “You’re so beautiful that I thought you were her sister at first.” Ooh, so he’s charming my mother? I didn’t know how mom believed him, who was now laughing along with Luke. When she finally recovered f
I woke up with a smile on my face later that morning. Luke texted me last night, saying that he will take me to the park today. It's a date. It's not Snow. Stop dreaming. Besides, we agreed that we will tag along with Nathan and Caleb. So it's not. It's Sunday and I have no work today. Yawning, I look for my phone to check my social media account. Noticing that there's no difference happening in these past few hours, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After doing my morning routine, I went downstairs to eat. "Morning mom!" I greeted her with a big smile on my face. "Morning sweetie," she said. Grabbing utensils, I served my
Thank goodness I managed to convince Eion to stop by the reception after making out with him in the car.The reception was at Hudson’s villa, where Eion’s childhood friend, Mario was serving. I spotted him and smiled at him. “Glad you’re still working here, Mario.”He bowed a bit, “Even I’m amazed why Eion didn’t fire me. Anyways, I’m wishing you a happy marriage, Ms. Snow.” He then whispered, “I knew you two would end up with each other.” He said with a wink, and before I could even reply, he walked away.“What was that?” Asked Eion when he caught up to me as he was parking the car earlier.“Oh, nothing. It’s Mario being Mario.” I replied.
Eion started his vow. “Do you remember the very first day that we met?”It was not the usual love at first sight moment. I’ve hated you, not knowing that it was love that I was feeling. We started out as enemies and now, look at us. You have become my lover, my companion, and my best friend. There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love, and my wife, for eternity.” Saying that he paused. He was looking at my eyes as he said that. He didn’t have any copy, he then continued,“You have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity.
Reaching the venue, I stayed in the car as the organizers of our wedding checked everything first before we started.I looked at the busy crowd sitting on the chairs. We only have a hundred guests for today as I don’t want to invite a lot.Besides, I don’t have a lot of friends. I lost touch with my high school friends the moment we migrated here. Also, mom is also not that close with dad’s relatives as they both ran away from their home when they had me.And I can’t blame her for that.So I only have mom, Nathan, and some of my classmates from Anastolgia High like Ember. So it’s mostly Eion’s family and relatives as his guests. I saw Luke and Hannah greeting the guests and making sure everyone was comfortable.
“I really didn’t expect you, out of the three of us, to be the first one to get married, Snow.” Said Emma as she applied some powder on her face with her makeup brush. “Oh, are you jealous that she is the first one to be married out of us, or are you jealous because you want to get married next, Emma?” Hannah suggested as she applied lipstick on her lips. Emma just rolled her eyes, “Well, I didn't expect that you, out of all of us, to be the first one to get pregnant, Hannah.” She fired back, pointing at Hannah’s big tummy. Hannah is now seven months pregnant with Leroy’s child. Even I was surprised at the sudden news. I hadn’t expected it. Hannah chuckled at that and winked at me, “This is your time gi
Just then, Eion stopped and stood up. A waiter gave him a guitar and he cleared his throat.“I never sing, Snow, but for tonight, it’s only you and me. I’ll sing for you.”I gasped at that. “Wait, you’re really going to sing?”“Yes. I had been practicing for the past months. In the Philippines, did you know that it was their practice to sing your heart out with a guitar and go to the house of the person you are going to woo. It’s called harana.” He informed me. His hands were tuning the guitar and he was trembling a bit. I flashed him a smile and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.He nodded, “It may not be your house and we're on a ship right now but... I’m doing it. I hope you’
SNOW’S POV“Snow, a delivery was sent to you,” Mom said as soon as I woke up. Grabbing it and opening it, it was flowers and chocolates, with a handwritten note that I know all too well.It was Eion’s.Reading it, I smile at what he just said inside the note.“To my beautiful snow in my winter heart, this is for you. I haven’t forgotten our anniversary.”this has been his tactic for the past 4 years every time it's our anniversary. Then, my phone beeped and Eion texted me.Did you like the flowers and chocolates? That’s just the teaser. We’ll have dinner later at 7pm. Don’t be late. - your strawberry addict robot
4 YEARS LATERAUNT MAGGIE’S POV“Justin!” I called out, huffing and climbing up the stairs. I turned to his nanny and asked, “He still hasn't eaten his breakfast?”“Yes ma'am. He’s been running around for the whole morning. I apologize.” His nanny replied.I breathed in and out, “Let’s stop chasing him for now. I’m sure you'll get tired soon and eat.” I said, dismissing his tired nanny. II walked towards the dining table where my husband was sitting and having his breakfast. “Honey, can you please call for Justin? His nanny has been tired of taking care of him these days. He has to eat his breakfast.”“Yes, honey.&rd
Emma’s POVWell, I trust Eion,” Snow replied to my question as she checked the time with her wristwatch. Sighing, she stood up and grabbed her bag. “I gotta go now.”I just rolled my eyes at her, “Yeah yeah, go to your strawberry addict robot now and leave your bitter and lonely friends.”She just chuckled at me and bid her goodbyes, with Hannah encouraging her also. “Go get your man, Snow.” She winked and left the ice cream shop.With Snow leaving, Hannah and I were left alone now. I turned to her, “What should we do now? Our friend just left and I’m bored.” I complained to her.It looks like Hannah was not hearing a wo
He turned off the lights. His lips continued on doing wonders on mine. This kiss was different from any of our last time. He trailed down kisses on my neck, down to my collarbone.It’s almost like he wanted to take a taste at everything, every inch of me. I couldn’t help but moan out his name, “Ugh. Eion.”And I covered my mouth from saying that, feeling my cheeks getting hotter in embarrassment.Geez, did I really…just moaned?I bit my lip, looking up at him as he stared into my soul, piercing me with his emerald eyes. He gulped, almost like in an agony, “Say that again. Call my name again, Snow.”I did as he told me, “Eion.”
