Chapter 3

We both walk into the room together, well, technically, I got I first and then she followed me.

"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it, it's true" Gaia gasps as soon as we walked in.

She walks over to my sister.

"Zeph, I can't believe you never told me you were twins, I mean" she looked from both me and my sister.

My sister just gave her a look of confusion.

"Over here" I say.

"Oh sorry" she apologizes to my sister and walks over to me.

"No worries, we get that alot" my sister says, smiling at her.

"For a minute there, I heard you were getting married and you didn't bother inviting me, I was like, this bitch got some nerve but now it's all cleared up" Gaia says.

She is my best friend from school. Yeah, school. That was the main reason I didn't tell her about our existence.

The girl stood so elegant in her mini dress and a crop top. She didn't look like someone who was ready for a wedding.

She stood 5'3" with her sexy, to die for body. She also has a ring nose. Yes, a ring nose. She is those rough type you see. She has bright Jade colored eyes and a  shoulder length Auburn hair which she had dyed pink in some strands just like her long slender nails, her wide face displayed her long nose and perfectly proportioned lips.

"What are you waiting for guys, it's almost late" someone called out.

It's Baia, our childhood neighbor friend.

"Oh! You're finally here, we thought you're not gonna make it" she says, giving me a nasty look.

"How on earth could I miss our wedding" I say.

"Her wedding, not yours, come on, run along, I ain't got all day to dress up" she says with a smile on her face.

She is such an elder sister.

We walked into the huge room. Only the four of us are in there but it seems like it can take triple of us.

"So, what is it gonna be, the make up I mean?" she asks.

We both looked at each other and gave that mischievous smile.

"Same" we both said at the same time.

"I thought so, wanna give the groom the tease of a lifetime, huh" she says.

"You bet so" says Zeph (Nevaeh).

"When have you turned like her, I thought you were the sweet one" she says.

"Well, I also had the mischief in me after all" she comments.

"Goodness, I still can't believe that you have a twin sister" Gaia blares again.

"Let me take a picture, I bet everyone in class will be astound" she says.

I was quick to stop her.

"No, please" I say.

"Why?" 

"Have you ever wondered why nobody knew about it?" I ask.

She shakes her head.

"Well, there is a good enough reason and it's not time for all to know yet, so please" I beg.

"Ok, I won't" she says, taking her phone back.

"Now sit so I can start working my magic" Baia cuts us off.

She has always been our makeup artist since forever.

Within no time, she turned the two of us into more identical copy of each other.

"Wow! I haven't seen something so amazing in years" she gasps.

"Now, the clothes" 

She walks over to a closet and pulls out two packages.

She pulls the dresses out and they both look identical.

"I wonder if the groom knows you are twins?" Gaia asks.

"He doesn't" Zeph (Nevaeh) says in her melodious voice, well, ours.

"Why?" I ask.

"You know, it just happened so fast that I didn't get time to let him meet you" she says, pleading guilty.

"Well, all the more fun then, I bet he'll be all confused when he finds out" I say, assuring her it's ok.

We don't have to say the words, it's all written in our eyes.

"Here, go and change" Baia cuts off our telepathic communication.

We both collect our dresses and went to the dressing shade

"What were you saying about the college before?" she asks as we enter our separate place.

"I was saying that you got in, top class" I added.

I might be the brain to the operation but he is the receiver of all the blessings and I couldn't be more happy with that. When she's happy, I am.

"Have you ever thought of studying engineering yourself?" she asks, out of the blue.

"No, why do you ask?" I ask.

"No, just asking" she answers.

I can feel that she is hiding something from me. This has never happened before.

"Well, you know my dream is to see that all your dreams are fulfilled, that's all" I say weakly.

She didn't answer this time.

Finally, I have finished putting on my dress and it fits perfectly.

"You done?" I ask.

"Yes" she answers.

We both walk out at the same time.

We are wearing a corseted fitted gown with a flay at the bottom.

Just like a mermaids tail.

The dress has been stitched with tiny diamond stones, just like a mermaids scales.

"Wow! Mind officially blown" Gaia beams, cutting off our admiral of each other.

"You too look like a mirror of each other" Baia says.

"As always" we both say at the same time.

"Do they always talk like that?" Gaia asks.

"Yes" we answered again.

She just shook her head at then.

"Please, pretty please, will you allow me to take pictures, I promise not to post" she begs.

I looked at my sister and she nods at me.

"Ok, but no posting" I say.

And just like that, the two started flashing lights at us from all sides.

"Now that's enough" Baia says.

She pulled us together and back to the makeup mirror.

She placed two wedged shoes on the floor for us, all silver colored with diamonds adorning them. I do not like a shoe that is more than two inches but I guess I'll manage today.

She pulled out two identical boxes and when she opened them, they were holding the two most amazing necklace and earrings I've ever seen and both are identical.

She put them on our necks and the earrings fit perfectly well on our ears.

They were pretty dazzling and shining like the diamonds that they are.

"For sure, your husband seems to have a good eye for jewelries" I comment.

"Now didn't he?" she asks, smiling, feeling as if she has won a battle of some sort.

"Now all is ready, you can go" Baia says.

"What about you?" We ask.

"Oh! We'll be out in no time, just go ahead" Gaia says.

We got up to leave.

"You go ahead, it's your turn" she says.

All the three of us turned to her.

"I mean, I had to walk the aisle with him so it's only fare that I let you lead the dance this time and as it is, you are a better dancer than I am" she explains.

"But it's your day today, not mine" I try to argue.

"But it's yours as well, what's mine is yours, remember?" she says.

"Zeph is right" Baia says and we both turn to her.

We both looked at her.

"I mean, she is right" she points at me.

"You should have the first dance today and then if you get tired, she will fill in" she says.

"Yeah, she's right" I say.

She has no choice but to agree with us.

"So, off you go" I push her forward.

I gave her thumbs up as she walks down the corridor.

"Can you believe it, she is all grown up and getting married" I say with a tears in my years which I was quick to wipe away so as not to ruin my makeup or I'll get it.

"Yeah, but when will yours be?" Gaia asks.

"I can't wait to be the bride's maid"

"Never, I will never get married, one's enough" I said and turn away.

She has gone and ruin my mood.

They both left me to get ready.

Gaia was the first to finally come out and I must say, she looks amazing.

She wore a strapless white gown that goes all down to the floor and from her right leg, I could see a slit that that goes all the way to her upper thigh.

She was a red lipstick that made her lips look more elegant and her eyeshadow was also a shade of red.

"Do I look beautiful or what?" she asks, twirling.

Didn't I mention that she has put on a pointy six inches stilettos.

"You look ama... dashing" I complimented.

"I know, right" she says.

The is always obsessed about how she looks and will change her clothes a thousand times if need be just to get the perfect outfit.

She forced me into taking a zillion photos of her.

"Ok, I'll be joining the party, you sure you don't wanna come" she says.

"I'm good, and I'm sure you won't even know when I'll even be there" I say.

"I'll take my chances then, there are so many hit guys out there, I bet I can hook up with one and maybe next we'll have another wedding" she says and I just laughed.

Typical Gaia, always funny.

Not long after she left, the other beauty walks out oh my goodness! She looks so mwah.

She is wearing an Indian attire and it fits her well. The stood well to her figure 5'4", the organza fabric was layered with some silver colored bias making it stand out. The dress, covers half her belly, revealing her belly button which has a ring clipped to it. Who on earth in this town doesn't have any artificial beautifier, I guess it's just is. The v-shaped neck stood just perfectly on her body and the asymmetric ruffle in the left hand of the dress make it stand out. She is also holding a purse on her hand that goes with the outfit. Her narrow russet brown colored eyes and long copper colored hair popped out as the outfit has completed them. She has let her hair loose, falling all the way to her waist.

"I know, I look great but I gotta go, I'll send her back as soon as possible shows any sign of distress" she says and heads out.

Almost about thirty minutes later, while I was still wondering if she's okay.

She has never stayed so look doing any activity.

I just hope she is not trying to overstress herself or else I'll go over there and drag her back.

I don't care about the ohhs and the ahhs that will fine after that.

Just then, I hear the sound of the door knob and then the door was opened.

"Goodness, I'm so famished today" she walks in.

I quickly rush over to her and walk her over to a seat.

Without wasting anytime also, I brought out her flask and pour sound some warm water in the cup.

"Here, take it" I say.

"Thanks, what would I do without you" she says.

I just gave her a weak smile.

After she has finished taking the water, I rinsed the cup with a towel and out it back into the bag.

"So?" I ask.

"I was busy enjoying myself that I forgot about the break but thank goodness I came back on time" she says, already understanding what I intend to asks.

"That's ok, but you need to be more careful, what if it happens an I'm not there..."

"Shh, it won't, I promise, he knows I have the ailment and so he won't stress me out" she stops me.

"But still, I think I might just move in with you, that'll be better" I suggest.

"And then who will take care of Mom?" she asks.

I was hesitant for a while.

"Uhmm, we can move in all together, I'm there will be a spare room that we can share" I say, feeling all awkward about it myself.

I know I won't always be there to look after her but this happened all of a sudden and I don't know how to start getting used to it.

Getting used to being separated from her for more than a week.

"You need not worry, everything will e fine" she assures me.

Before I could argue even further, she beats me to it.

"Now run along, I'm sure he's out there waiting for you, go and give him a best dance performance and I'll rest the a bit" she says 

I nodded and quickly got up.

I don't want to stress her out that why I agreed.

"Go on, break a leg" she says.

I closed the door behind me and head out to the corridor leading to the main reception.

I am feeling a little bit nervous about this today and I don't know why.

Me and my sister interchanging each other is like a second habit to me but I'm feel weird today.

Maybe because it has to do with a man.

All eyes were on me as soon as my figure appeared.

I looked over at the decoration. The place was simply decorated, nothing too flashy.

I can also see people dancing on the dance floor while some are busy entertaining themselves with drinks and food.

Just then, I saw a man walking towards me with a wide grin on his face..I don't need no one to tell me that he is the groom.

He is wearing a white six pieces suit that looks like it's more expensive than what we earn all year and a long trouser that adorns his thick long legs 

His hollow steel blue eyes stared right into my soul. He has a  round shaped face, and straight pointed nose with  bottom heavy lips and he stood at about  6'4" tall which makes me look too tiny in front of him.

As he comes closer, I saw a little something, like snake, poking out of his suit over to his neck and my doubts where confirmed when he extends his hand to me only to see it covered in tattoo. Some nonsensical words that can't be read.

Really, Nevaeh had to go and find the bad boys.

He nudges his hand towards me again when he saw that I wasn't ready to place my hand on his.

I did as he wanted and as soon as I did, he pulled me by the waist and leans down to kiss me on the lips but I was quick to move away so it landed on my cheek.

He didn't seem to care about my actions thought.

"You look even more gorgeous now than before" he whispers in my ear.

I don't know how to answer him so I just smiled and I'm sure my face is tomato red by now.

"Seriously, I thought we talked about this, there is nothing the you to be shy about, after all, I'm gonna make you mine today" he whispers in my ear as we are walking over to the guests.

I couldn't help but let out a gasp and stare at him.

This man is so shameless.

I had to almost hit my head to clear the thoughts.

"Don't be so shy about it, I'm gonna treat you like a baby" he adds..we are moving closer to the crowd and so, he changed the topic.

"By the way, how are you feeling now, hope you didn't have any crisis, I'm sorry for letting you stand so long?" he asks.

Well, look who's being considerate now.

"Yeah, I'm feeling much much better now thanks to you" I managed to say, holding unto his hands tightly.

He lets out a smirk.

"Let's continue with our dance then" he says.

Before I could protest, he has already grabbed me by the waist and placed my hand on his shoulder.

I can feel the rough edges of his body on mine and what is that.

Huh! 

How could he?.

There are so many people around.

"You know, you always drive me crazy that I can't seem to control it anymore" I leans in closer, whispering in my ear and then he turned me around and my back is pressed hard against him and I can feel him in-between by butt.

I wanted to turn around and kick the thing back to order but then I remember.

He is her husband and I am her.

So I guess I'll have to endure this.

The music was busy blaring on the background but I couldn't get to hear any words but I can tell that it's a soft music as we are dancing slow.

No wonder Nevaeh didn't want to come back in.

I'm sure she was loving it and now she has put me in this situation where I am helpless, I mean, I can't even kick him back to his senses.

Unexpectedly, I feel his tongue making it's way to the tip of my ear and I let out a gasp.

"See, I know you are loving it too, aren't you dear wife?" he whispers in a husky voice.

Isn't he even afraid of doing this in public but then again, who would even notice, they are busy enjoying themselves and letting the groom have his as well.

As if he read my thought.

"Or maybe we can run away from here and then we'll be free from prying eyes" he suggests.

Don't you dare!.

I try to pull away but it only ended up with me turning around and falling into his chest again but this time I was sure to put my hand as a barrier.

Just then, the song ended.

"Uhumm, let me go find Mom" I say and pull away before he could say a thing.

I met Gaia half way.

"So, tell me how I can find a hot husband like yours, hey?" She asks nudging my shoulder.

To think that she only found out about my sister today.

"Uhmm, I think you'll start by steering away from bad guys like him, he's so ....uhh" I say in disgust.

I can see the confused look on her face.

"Stop pulling her leg Zeph and he is kinda hot, you have to agree to that" Baia says, hitting my shoulder.

Somehow, she always manages to distinguish between us two.

I wonder how she does that.

Gaia nods her head and laughs.

"So you are teasing me all this time, Gosh! can't actually wrap my head around you guess being twins" she says.

We stood there talking for a while and all of a sudden, another song blares.

"I think o gotta go and hide, even though I love dancing, that man's nuts" I say.

I quickly walk off but unlucky the me, my predator found me and the next thing I know, I was swayed by the hip into the dance floor.

"Sorry about earlier, it was just that I couldn't control it, I'm sure I scared you" he apologizes.

Hell you did.

I just nodded at him and we continued dancing and luckily, this time around like normal couple should.

"You know, I really didn't get to thank you for all that you did, I mean, not every lady is willing to sacrifice as much as you did" he starts speaking again.

"I did?" I ask, confused.

"Yeah,I know my mom can be hard at times but you have all proven her wrong and showed the world that our love is more than anything else, surely that's a great sacrifice and I assure that I won't take advantage of that" he says.

I stood there motionless for a while.

If he really did mean that my sister had sacrificed something for this wedding, then trust me, it's not a small thing. I bet you it can be as huge as the Eiffel tower.

I looked up and saw the way he was looking at me, worried.

But then I had to get out.

I have to know what we lost in order for this wedding to happen.

I feigned a cough, just like how my sister used to cough.

"I think you should go and rest" he says.

"Let me take you" he tries to hold me but I moved away.

"No, it's okay, I can make it on my own" I say.

I walked away real quick, not even waiting for his reply.

I saw my mom speaking with some of the guests and I just glared at her.

If you leave these two alone for a while to make a decision, they might as well, sell themselves and tell you it's for the best.

Just as I stormed into the room and almost startling the sleeping bride, I heard my mom walked in and close the door.

Wait, she isn't alone.

She has also come with her 'sisters', so they call themselves.

"What is it, what's wrong?" she asks.

"I should be the one asking you guys this question" I spat at her and it came out a little too harsh than intended.

"Now tell me really, what have you guys went and done this time?"
