❀HIS❀BRIDE❀

FIFTY FIVE

KAREN

So the doctor said I've been overstressed and that's the reason for my constant throw-up and dizziness. I'm not allowed to work myself out. Asher's been making sure I keep to it. I've been a couch potato for a month now.  Today, he decides to take me to the Elites Private Bash. Honestly, I don't want to because it's a lot of stress, and the paparazzi there are gonna be much.

Yep, it's a big privilege for someone to be invited to the EPB show. It's the most expensive show in the world, constantly held every October in different countries. Luckily for us, it is being held in USA this year and in New York City.

I've had Royal all dressed up in a red and black suit and his hair is braided in dreads. Asher is dressed in the same way too and my gown is red. It has slits and my shoe is made of ice. That's how we are all dressed. Everything we have as our outfits altogether should cost about 256k Dollars.

The limousine drops us off at the EPB entrance. There's lot of paparazzi and fans wanting our autographs. Even some Nigerians who live here have tried their way to make it here but you know how celebrity life is like. I really want to pity some and sign an autograph but our bouncers have them blocked so they don't come up to us.

Just when we walk through the red carpet to get some pictures, they're lots of screaming here and there.
"Omg! They've made up...!" Someone screams.

I grin at that. Royal's giving really silly bows and it's earning laughter from people.
"Oh my God! I'm so excited to meet y'all!"

That's Shenseea. She's like my all-time favourite Jamaican musician of all time, and she's really pretty too.

"Welcome Kennedy." That's from Janelle Monae.
"Thanks." Asher and I both reply with grins.

We're taking lots of pictures and then all of a sudden, Asher kisses me. The crowd's all like "ouuu!"

"Oh my God! That was surprising..." I whisper to Asher.
"Don't move when I want to cuddle." He smirks and focuses his eyes back on the camera.

I smirk too as we take a picture as a family. I've missed us being together the way we used to back in high school. When everything felt right just when we became partners. Everything felt right like I said, but it wasn't exactly right yet because none of us knew Royal was gonna come our way.

When the show has begun, there are lots of shows and events and stuff. Even awards. Royal is sitting beside his nanny who has been hired to work for a week.
It has actually given me the time to settle down with Asher and learn about him all over again. It's like we're starting from the top in getting know each other again. We're building up our own family YouTube channel. After Royal's video of him crying about me having another baby went viral, we decided to have our YouTube channel but it hasn't exactly been recognized.

"May we welcome Mr and Mrs Asher Kennedy to the stage?" Skai says. She's the host of the show. Actually, I'm not expecting anyone to welcome me to the world's most beautiful and expensive stage.
"Did you know about this?" I ask Asher.
He clicks his teeth. "No, but now we have to face the world and reality too. I expected that since people have seen us together now."
I almost want to blush at that but I control myself and get up with him. I kiss Royal's cheek before walking off with Asher. People are applauding us.

For some reason I can't detect, I'm nervous about this, especially when Asher takes my hand and his and we walk together.

"Aww I see you don't wanna let her go again," Skai comments and everyone's laughing. This whole relationship seems perfect now. I hope it keeps going this way anyways.

We both take our seats.
"Welcome to the EPB Celeb Show," Skai says.
"Thank you," Asher and I reply. We get our mini-microphones fixed as we settle properly.
