The Perfect Princess

Chapter 5-

Deep breaths Octavia. You've got this.

Zaria stays inside while I go out to greet him. Mother and father are there too. Matteo's 3 brothers, Connor, Oscar and William are here too for the wedding.

They will be staying until the day after the wedding and then they will be leaving.

Don't ask me how I remember their names, Zaria might've helped me out a little.

His mother and father are here too, Patricia and Joseph. Great.

I wonder if they know how angry their son can get?

Matteo steps out of the carriage first and he looks damn good.

Which pushes the memories from the other night way into the back on my mind.

He has a black shirt on and black trousers that cling to him perfectly.

His tattoos are more clear now, a beautiful ring of roses around his neck that spiral down to where his shirt buttons up to. It might go further down but I can't tell as he does have a shirt on. They are red and petite, coin size.

"Go greet your fiancé, Octavia," mother says and god why can't she just shush.

I walk towards him and a look of confusion lingers on his face before it's covered up by a fake smile.

I greet him with a soft hug, he rubs my back gently.

I think I'm going to be sick.

I pull away after counting to ten seconds, "Pleasure to see you again," I say with the biggest fake smile on my face.

Next his mother comes out, "Octavia, dear! It's been so long," she greets me in a huge hug and squishes me.

Oh how I missed her hugs, she felt more like a mother figure than my own mother when I was younger.

"I've been good, getting old. Which sucks!" I smile at her with a true smile and I feel eyes burning into me.

She laughs and goes to greet mother and father.

Next comes Connor, and wow is he old. I'd say he's at least 27. He was 20 the last time I seen him.

"V, how's things?" He kisses my hand gently and bows.

Gentlemen unlike his brother over here.

"All well, and you?" I courtesy him. "Never been better." He winks and smiles before moving on.

Next out of the carriage comes.. ooh what's his name again?

William, that's it.

He's about 22 now if I'm correct, a year older than Matteo.

"Pleasure, my lady." He kisses my hand gently.

I nod at him with a smile and he moves along.

Next comes Oscar and someone I don't know, a beautiful girl around my age actually. She has gorgeous strawberry blonde hair that reaches her shoulders.

"Octavia! Lovely to see you again, this is my wife Harriet." I greet her in a hug and she hugs me back, "it's my pleasure," I say.

"I love your dress," she says and we both smile at each other. "Aw thank you, I love yours, red suits you," I say and she smiles. They move along and greet everyone else.

Last and most certainly least is Joseph. Matteo's father.

There was always something about him I didn't like when I was younger and now it shows clearly.
