I crept inside so I didnt wake up my mum. She was getting her 'Beauty Sleep' for tomorrow. I tiptoed up the stairs and into my room. I wonder what hes doing now. I lay on my bed thinking about the wedding. One day maybe it will be me and Jay getting married. And then we'll have 6 children and live in a big house by the sea! Okay maybe that's a bit too over the top but if we do get married I want 2 children the boy older than the girl and I want to live in a purple house by the sea. Our children will be beautiful. My imaginary life ended up putting me to sleep.
"Crystal. Crystal. CRYSTAL"
Someone was shaking me.
"What do you want" I groaned "It's like 6 in the morning"
I slowly opened my eyes to see Jay grinning above me.
"Why in the hell are you sitting on me Jay!"
"Hey" He replied pretending he didn't hear me.
"Jay get off me already"
He rolled onto the floor laughing. I was too tired to even be embarrased.
"Why are you even here" I sat up on my bed
"Obviously I came to see my best friend" He smirked
"No. Seriously what do you want" I said staring at him blankly
"Ok. I was wondering what your doing tomorrow"
"I don't know yet why"
"Well my friends having a house party do I was wondering if you wanted to come"
I stopped to think about it.
"I'll see. Maybe. Now get out I want to sleep"
"Oh and another thing" Jay said " Your mum told me to wake you up and tell you to get ready for the wedding"
"UGH why didn't my mum tell me herself why did she get you to do it" I asked
"Because I'm coming stupid" He chuckled
"What the - MU-!"
"Don't be silly Crystal you know you want me to come" He grinned as he placed his hand on my thigh and put his face close to mine. I could feel his warm breath on my cheek. He was about to kiss me then suddenly he pulled away and laughed.
"I'm only playing Crystal" Then he got up and ran out my room.
My face was tingling his mouth was only inches away from mine. He smelt nice. I wanted to grab hold of his face and kiss him. Why does he keep on playing with me. Playing with my mind ... my heart.
I'd finally found an outfit for the wedding. It was a sky blue dress that stopped in the middle of my thigh. I had black heels on that I'd got a year ago for my 16th birthday but they were still in good condition. My hair was tied up in a neat bun and I head a matching blue ribbon wrapped around it. I was posing in front of the mirror when Jay barged in.
"Jay how many times do I have to tell you" I sighed "There is a door there for a reason use it"
"Okay. Okay" He chuckled and rolled his eyes. I turned round to show him my outfit when I realised he was in a black tuxedo.
"Oooooh look at you'' I grinned
He came towards me and pit his hands on my hips. Jay is quite tall so even though I had heels in I wasn't taller than him. I slapped his hands off.
"No touchie" I sang as I wiggled my.finger at him."Come on let's go"
We got to the stairs and he took hold of my hand to help me down.
"Thanks" I said quickly letting go of his hand.
"MUM. We're ready!"
Minutes later my mum came elegantly down the stairs in black wedges and a tight knee length red dress.
"You look pretty mum" I said eyeing her.
"I know I do let's go"
I shook my head as she walked outside and into the car. This woman is going to be the death of me I then sighed and trailed after her.
Me and Jay sat in the back while my mum and my auntie gossiped in the front.
"So about the party ..." Jay asked
"Ok I'll come. I haven't got anything better to do" And I wasn't lying I really didn't.
"I'll come to pick you up at 9" Jay said
"Yeah. I'll be ready"
When we finally arrived I realised how big if a wedding it was. Everyone was in this huge gazebo. There was atleast 300 people there. There were probably more people now than at the wedding ceremony because thus was the after party. I walked alongside my mum but then got distracted and it ended up me and Jay lost in the crowd.
"I didn't want to come to this damn wedding anyway" I mumbled
"Oh lighten up" laughed Jay "Come let's dance"
Before I had time to object he had dragged me onto the dance floor. He had picked the worst time to dance because as soon as we got on the floor they started playing slow songs. At first I was just standing awkwardly in the middle of the dance floor when Jay put his hand round my waist and took my hand. He pulled me close to him as our bodies moved as one. He smiled at me. This isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I rested my head on his shoulder. His breath tickled the back if my neck. I wanted him to never let me go.
"Hey Crystal"
"Yeah"
"I'm glad I came with you"
I smiled to myself
"I'm glad you came too" And we danced for hours.
