My Little Heart

Sixteen

I stood in my spot as maid of honor, feeling extremely self conscious of all the eyes in front of me. Luckily, I made it without tripping over my own feet. I was not a fan of heels but Amber insisted it looked better with the pale amber colored dress.

Daddy sat in the front row right next to my parents. He smiled at me and wiggled his eyebrows after looking me up and down.

I hide my smile into the flowers I held and instantly regretted it. A sneeze took me by surprise and had the crowd erupting in giggles.

Damn it, daddy.

We were on a beautiful hill with the ocean below. There was an elegant arch where Ben's uncle stood, who would be officiating the wedding. Ben already stood there smiling, waiting for his bride.

The music mixed with the sounds of the ocean was almost addicting. I could listen to it forever.

Then there was Amber. She walked down the aisle in her simple white dress. Her dark brown hair cascaded down her back in waves. It reached her butt and made her look like a goddess.

I felt my eyes tear up as Ben's uncle began speaking. I was just so happy for them!

After they were announced husband and wife and did a little smoochy smooch, everyone erupted in cheer and congratulated the couple.

"You're so beautiful, baby." Daddy says and wraps his arm around my waist. "Too bad I'm going to tear that dress off of you."

I blush but don't say anything since my family was starting to approach us. It took about an hour for everyone to congratulate Amber and Ben before we were all able to head back to the house.

The sun was slowly setting and the air got chillier by the minute. Everyone was eating or doing a two step to the music on the speakers. I was so distracted by everything that I hardly had time to feel little. It'd been a while since I've gone this long without slowly slipping.

"There's my little girl." Daddy smiles after exiting the house and checking the backyard.

I felt the anxiety dissipate at his words and I wrap my arms around his waist.

"I wanna onesie and watch cartoons, daddy." I whisper. "I'm tired."

"I know, baby. You're doing so good being a big girl for your family." He pets my head.

"Sage?"

I tense up at the voice. My brain was behind and didn't process who it was. I slowly leave Kovan's arms to see my ex-boyfriend. Andy. One of the only other people here that knew about me being in the DDLG community.

"Andy." I forced a smile. He wasn't a bad guy but he wasn't a very good guy either. "What are you doing here?"

"Your mom invited my family. I assumed that included me." He smiled.

"Y-yeah, of course." I say softly. "This is Kovan. My boyfriend."

Kovan smiles but I could see the suspicion in his eyes as he looked at Andy.

"Kovan, this is Andy. My um..." I trailed off.

"The ex." Andy chuckles. "Oh, and this is Zoe." Andy introduces the pretty blonde girl on his arm.

I couldn't help but notice her eyes hardly ever left Kovan.

"Nice to meet you." Kovan says. "Come on, baby. I see your sister waving us down."

I let Kovan pull me away and Andy watches us the whole time. Once we were out of their presence, I felt the oxygen return to my lungs.

"Your ex?" Kovan asks after we were in the house.
