Xeria’s P.O.V
"You look as handsome as always, Potato," I compliment him, dressing him up in his tux.
After getting discharged from the hospital, Khaos reluctantly let me come here without him, but what's next has to be done. And finally, today is the day of the ceremony.
Quentin's family is already here with us, and Bertil's family is staying somewhere else but is here in the city. I'm really looking forward, but I'm also not looking forward. I'm excited for Willie and also for Quentin, but quite on the edge for Khaos.
"Woof!"
Potato jumps excitedly. Well, surprisingly, he and Aunt Nora are friends now; something worked out between them.
"Young madam, go and get ready," Aunt Nora orders me, and I take Potato out of my room with her.
I look at my dress. It's a simple lavender satin gown with spaghetti straps, straight out of my mom's recommendation. Dressing up quickly, I go downstairs to check on the preparations.
"All ready?" Quentin asks me as I step downstairs. He's wearing a mint suit; he looks good in anything he wears, and I think that today he's dressed up for someone as well.
"Ok then, let's wait for the others; they will be here shortly. I will go and check on Willie," he says, walking away.
Well, I got ready quickly so that I could be here for Khaos when he comes. After waiting for ten minutes, I see Potato jumping around happily as he is accompanying Khaos inside.
Khaos looks at me, and a smile spreads on his face. It's the same smile he gave when I walked towards him for our photoshoot—the same smile when I walked towards him down the aisle. It hasn't changed.
Well, guess what?
It was genuine all this time. And he's also dressed in his usual comfort color, like the gray suit he's wearing.
"Beautiful," he compliments me as he stands in front of me.
"Handsome, and let's go; mom and dad are waiting." I smile, and he extends his hand out for me. Taking his hand, we go to meet mom and dad.
"Lea, are you going to wear a wig?" Dad holds up two wigs and shows them to Mom.
"If only you wear one," Mom counters, and dad smiles.
"You two are still not ready?" I ask them, and they both shrug their shoulders in unison.
"Ok then, let's change today; I will wear a blonde wig, and Lea can wear a black one," Dad says with a proud smile.
"Oh right, I will look exactly like Xeria; it will be fun," she says, taking off the black hair wig.
Well, mom and dad have been trying on different wigs and outfits, claiming that this is the best opportunity to try new looks. They are trying to create a light and happy environment, and I'm also happy for them.
"Ok, all done," Dad announces, checking himself in the mirror.
"Ok, gather around children," Mom instructs us, and me, Khaos, and Potato join the two of them.
Dad goes and sets up the camera; I stand by dad's side, and Khaos stands by mom's side with Potato at the center.
"Smile!" mom and dad say in unison as we click our family pictures.
"Oh, they turned out great," Dad says, checking the camera.
"The guests are here," Aunt Nora announces, and we all move out of the room.
