The Killers - Part 2

chapter 22

Natalie

“Oh my gosh... look at that cake”

I said running over to the cake, it is three tiered white cake rimmed with a black strip on the bottom of each tier. Accompanied with black and white flowers scattered across the cake, being fondant and piped on with icing, it was amazing.

I was held up by what seemed to be three people for just admiring a cake within the vicinity of three steps, wow, protective much, its gonna get eaten anyway, what am i going to do eat it before it gets cut, tempting , but no, im not that rude

“come on, before they cut your head off instead of the cake.... would you like a drink?”

John asked, taking me by the arm and leading me away from the beautiful cake, it was truly magnificent, i couldn’t wait to try a piece. He pulled out a chair for me that was before a plate with a place card on it with my name in cursive writing inscribed onto it, i sat down, as graciously as i could on the chair he had offered, then tucking me in, i felt awkward in a situation like this, as if i didn’t belong.

I nodded my head, not knowing what to say, or even if i could talk, i was filled with so much excitement over a wedding, ive been to plenty of weddings before, but this one, this one i have to actually act mature at. Not stealing cupcakes and hiding under tables to eat them, no running down to the beach and deciding to swim in this dress, much too expensive and john bought it, i don’t want to go ruining it with salt water, anyway, its really pretty.

No, i have to act mature... mature Natalie, do you know what that is. Nope, i should but i don’t. I sat there in my chair looking around at everyone, they were all talking with one another, i don’t know if they knew each other, but they were talking anyways, while there is just me, sitting alone at the table looking at who I’m placed beside at the table.

‘Ruth’                                                                 

The card read on the plate to my right, on my left was john. I heard footsteps coming from behind me, i fumbled with the place card and tried to put it back the way in which i had found it. Who in the world is Ruth, never heard of the person, no one has ever mentioned her at all, mustn’t be of any importance then.

“for you my love”

John said placing my drink down with his non injured hand as it can move more freely than the one in a temporary cast, well i hope its temporary, i don’t want him being in a cast for the rest of his life, it sounds downright horrible that does.  He leant down and pecked a kiss on my cheek before sitting down beside me taking hold of my hand, i felt the area in which he kissed me burn up, knowing me i probably just turned bright red.

“now i just feel awkward”

I muttered shying away, trying to hid my face as he smiled at me, him acting like this probably lit my whole face red, i hated being in awkward situations and all i want to do is hide away so no one can see me.

“i like it when your awkward, its cute”

He said, showing his full smile, not worried about the slight gap between his teeth, and just smiled, nothing to stop him, probably because it was a happy atmosphere. Kyrie came and sat down opposite from me, raising her eyebrows at me, the dirty mind she has, i just ignored her sitting with john, blocking out everyone else.

That was all until roger came and sat down next to her, it chilled me to the bone each time i saw him, knowing his capabilities, he probably had his gun on him all the time. But he said he quitted not long after i did, Derek was an ass and i was fed up with him so i left, in hope to never see him again, and i didn’t until roger started going out with kyrie.
