The Royal Wedding

Chapter 8-1

The sun is shinning brightly in the sky making the lawn look beautiful with full covered green grass. The garden is lovely with beautiful different types of flowers. The birds were flying and making the early morning sounds. It is one of the early mornings that Sam loves to spend her time.

She sat on the bench laid in the middle of the garden. All the workers are busy in the preparing the garden for wedding. There is a fresh breeze and a fountain is being laid near the gate with flowers decorating on it. In the middle of the fountain, there is the statue of a medieval woman holding a water bag. She looks innocent and beautiful. Her beauty was reflected from her perfectly cut marble. A small smile was hanging on her lips.

Seeing those lips she remembered what happened last night. Last night was something that Sam didn’t want to happen but it happen. The way Stefan kissed her made her remember the time they were together. May be he forgot what that feeling was or has he ever had that. The thought of this made her heart ache.

“I thought I will never see you,” she heard someone talking to her. She turned to see Noah coming towards her.

He sat beside her on the bench and smiled. He wore his favorite singlet and jeans. He was the same Noah whom she met in college. Nothing has changed in him.

“What made you say that?” she asked him raising an eyebrow.

“I have been searching you everywhere and you are here in the middle of garden,” he sighed.

“Well…” she avoided his eye contact and looked away,” its peaceful here,”

The wind is playing with her hair and coming over her cheek. He raised his hands and began to remove it. His hands stroke her soft cheeks. His hands felt warm over her.

“You have changed,” his hand was still on her cheek.

“Oh, really?” she chuckled.

“Yeah, you look more beautiful,” he smiled while she blushed.

“It’s true. The time we spend in the university was great. But it still confuses me,” he made a questioning face.

“What?” she asked confusingly.

“Why did you leave us earlier?”

She remained silent. She had never spoken of those days; she realized that what she thought was hers was never hers. Noah is waiting for her and rubbing her cheek. He leaned forward and kissed on her cheek. They heard a throat clearing sound and turned back.

Standing there, Stefan looked at both Sam and Noah. He knew better that they were always friends. But kissing her like that in broad sunlight is making him jealous. May be she was moving forward with new relationship but why his heart is aching seeing her with someone else. Last night he saw her dancing with Noah and other guest. Though he danced with Elena, his thoughts were filled with the prom night. He never spoke of that day to anyone and the next day she left him.

“Hey Stefan, how are you doing dude,” he removed his hands and stood up to greet him.

Stefan moved forwards with his hands in his pockets. He kept looking at both of them.

“I see you guys are busy?” Stefan raised his eyebrows at them at which Sam reacted angrily and turned over.

“Nothing much, just talking,” he tried to convince him.

“I need to talk to you. Come lets go,” saying this he left them standing.

“Well… I think I leave now. Catch you later,” he hugged her and went after Stefan.
