Heartless pt.2

I do

For the next month, nothing out of the ordinary happened, as they got ready for the wedding. They were done with the decorations and wrote their wedding vows, then they were finishing up the dresses, suits, and finally it was the night of the celebration. Nathalie looked at herself in the mirror, Loren had done her hair and makeup, her, Marinette, and her mother stood behind her. With her hands on her shoulders.

MS- You look so beautiful. 

N- I'm nervous.

L- This will be the best day of your life, I promise you'll be perfect. Perfect for you.

M- You won't be the only one, we'll be there beside you.

N- Thank you all. Now, you'd better get going, Loren, pass me the bouquet please.

She handed her the bouquet, and the music started. The first to go were the Agrestes, Loren, Mrs.Sanceour, then the Dupain- chengs, ( Adrien and Marinette), and finally, Nathalie and her father.

Mr.S- Today will be the last day of you being my little girl.

He whispered.

N- I'll always be your little girl. Always.

They arrived at the front and separated, Nathalie standing in front of Gabriel. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was, he smiled as the minister began to read from a book.

Minister- Do you solemnly swear to love, and to cherish, through sickness and health, tough times and easier ones, each other?

They both repeated after the minister.

Minister- If anyone has any objections to the couple, please speak now or forever hold your peace. 

And when no one said anything, they continued.

N&G- I do.

Minister- You may kiss the bride.

He pecked her gently on the lips and the party begun, they firstly had to sign a few things, then it was their turn to dance first. Then the bridesmaids, Loren danced with the gorilla, since she hadn't come with anyone. And finally, the rest of the party came onto the dance floor.

G- So, what do you think?

N- This is the best day of my life, I couldn't be happier.

G- It's amazing, my dear. Your amazing.

She hugged him by the neck and they danced a little longer, before they stopped to talk to a few people. Nathalie pushed a strand of hair back constantly, then her mother offered her a Bobbie pin, the party continued with speeches, food, desserts, and more dancing. Eventually, they had gathered to say goodbye to anyone leaving, around 2 in the morning, the hall was empty except for Nathalie, Marinette, Adrien and Gabriel.

N- As much as I love the dress, I have spare clothes in my bag.

G- So do I, we all had the same idea.

They each took a bathroom stall, the clothes she had put in weren't there, just a note from Loren.

" I hope you don't mind change! Love you, Nath."

She sighed and realized there were still clothes, but not the ones she had packed. Instead, there were dark blue skinny jeans and a cropped sweater. She sighed and put them on, anything was better than the dress she wore. She didn't know what to do with the dress, so she carried it out with her, she slung it over her shoulder and walked out of the bathroom, the long fabric trailing behind her.

G- I didn't think something like that was your style.

He pointed to the short hoodie, that was slowly riding up her stomach, she pulled it down as she set down the heavy dress.

N- It's not, but it's the only thing I had, Loren switched out my clothes.

G- Regardless, it looks good on you.

N- The jeans are fine, anything cropped... kind of iffy, but it's fine.

G- I think you make it work.

She laughed and pulled the bottom down a bit, and sat down on a small chair against the wall, picking up a leftover macaroon.

N- I don't know how I'm still hungry. Maybe I'm just bored.

She swallowed the macaroon.

M- Stress maybe.

N- Maybe.

She pulled her hair out of the bun, letting it flow loosely down her back, they stared at her.

A- Wow... your hair looks really good down. 

M- It sure does..

Gabriel thought it made her look younger, he didn't dare say anything. He just smiled and nodded in  agreement.

M- Do you think we should get home, get some rest?

N- I don't think I'm going to sleep, but if your tired, you can go ahead home.

M- We can help-

A- Clearly your tired, we can help clean tomorrow.

N- Yeah, I'll get an early start.

G- We.

N- Unless you fall asleep.

She teased, and hugged Adrien and Marinette before they left, Gabriel started to get drowsy.

N- Are you sure?

G- Hold on.

He went over to the mini bar and took out a bottle of liquor, then splashed cold water on his face.

G- I should be fine, but I don't know how your still fine.

N- I don't know, I'm just not tired.

She wrapped up a few streamers when the lights went out.

N- Damnet. Another power outage?

...- No, no power outage this time.

Someone touched Nathalie's jaw, and she grabbed what it was, and held a gloved hand, with the familiar wedding ring of Audre Bourgeois.
