Blindfold (Book One)

33. Reality

         

Amelie's POV

    Finally, the day is almost here. Tomorrow is the wedding, and everything is now ready. My wedding dress is beautiful, and I can't wait to see how the reception and the ceremony will be, as my bridesmaids told me that everything is looking extraordinary. Jim and I chose to get married in the woods we went last time, on our three-month anniversary. The ceremony will be in one place of the woods, and the reception on another.

    Today, the girls organized an entire evening for me, and the guys will take Jim out, too, which is why he isn't home right now, and it seems like they won't let me see him until tomorrow at the time of the wedding.

    I carefully slip the brush through my hair, my mind still in Jim, until my eyes catch a sparkle in the mirror, and I turn to look at the blue ring that's on my finger. A smile grows on my face, and I giggle a little at the thought of getting married tomorrow. I can't say that I am not nervous, because I am, but I am mostly excited, very very excited. This feeling is very different than the time when I was going to get married to Jason. Jim was not with me, and some part of me felt like something in my life was missing. This time, I'm full...complete, but mostly happy.

    I put the brush down, my eyes focused on the mirror, and walk out of the bathroom, my steps followed by a knock on my door.

    "Come in?" I say, a little scared and confused, since there is no one home.

    The door opens slowly, and the girls walk in, smiles on their faces.

    "HI!" I say, excitedly. "How did you get in?"

    "Oh, your door was open," says Mayim.

    I stare at them, bewildered, but then simply relax.

    "So," starts Beth. "How is future Mrs. Parsons feeling?"

    I smile, my eyes turning to a picture of Jim and I on the bureau. "I am feeling very very excited, though a little nervous," I squeak.

    "Oh that's a normal feeling," speaks Melissa. "You will look beautiful."

    "Yes you will!" says Danielle.

    There is a small fragment of silence in the room, as I take my bag and put my phone in it.

    "Geeeee, I can't wait for tomorrow," says Kaley, clapping her hands.

    I laugh, the girls following me.

    "Should we go?" asks Clarisse.

    "Yeah," I add with a smile. "I'm ready.

    FLASHBACK

    "You look beautiful in that one, too," says my mother, as I come out of the fitting room with an elegant, long-sleeve wedding dress.

    Kaley, Mayim, Melissa,Clarisse, Danielle, my mom, and Jim's mom joined us at Paris today in the morning, and couldn't wait to go in a hunt for my wedding dress after Jim and I managed to order all of the invitations.

    I walk towards them, smiling, and stand in front of the huge mirror, taking a careful look at every detail of the dress.

    "I like it," says Kaley.

    "Yes," I say. "It's pretty."

    Honestly, it is the third store we come to, and I can't find the perfect dress. I've liked many, but I still haven't seen the one that truly makes me feel wondered.
