Wedding Bells Won't Ring

Wedding Bells Won't Ring Ch. 4

Author's Note: You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to know that people like my story :D Well HERE WE GOOOOO (I'm starting at Alejandro's POV because I wrote WAY to much for Heather.. but maybe that's just me :P)

Alejandro:

Alejandro's eyelids slowly opened as he stared at the ceiling. Yawning he lazily tried to fall back asleep but no avail. Trying to live with Heather was proving to be a more difficult challenge than he had expected.

It has been two weeks since she's moved in, but she still hasn't been able to fix her sleep schedule. When Alejandro is about to fall asleep he can hear Heather walking up and down the hallway, clicking her flats at 3am in the mourning.

She usually wore her high heels but has been wearing flats more and more nowadays. He didn't mind though, wearing flats suited her better than any sort of high heel. She walked with as much grace as a dancer.

Thinking Alejandro suddenly remembered that Christmas was only a week away. Groaning Alejandro also remembered that his grandfather, Alano, was to be moving in. Alano wasn't here to visit his grandson oh no he was only coming because it has always been a custom in the Burromuerto family, that the grandfather was to meet the fiance before marriage to "approve".

Alejandro found this tradition completely ridiculous and unnecessary, can one not marry only for love? Why need approval? Although his grandfather wouldn't really care, for as long as Alejandro could remember, his grandfather never cared for anything except for a mysterious women named... Madeline. Once when Alejandro was about 12, he grew curious and finally asked who this Madeline was.

When he did, his grandfather looked him straight in the eyes and said "Mi vida". This answer just confused Alejandro and he never asked about it again.

As he was changing into his shirt and pants he could hear a faint knock at the door. As Alejandro walked down the stairs he could hear the knocks growing louder and more frantic. Before anyone could get it, Maddie, suddenly appeared and answered it.

Maddie has been the family maid for as long as Alejandro could remember. She had just came back from her 3 week vacation and was already back to working even though Alejandro insisted she rest before she had to work again.

She has always felt like a grandmother to Alejandro, she was practically family! Besides the fact that she was always there for the Burromuerto family, their real grandmother Adriana, had left Alano long ago.

The story of what happened as Alejandro remembered it was that Alano and Adriana were forced to marry each other in order to keep power and wealth in the Burromuerto family. Soon Adriana had grown tired of their marriage and just left, leaving Alano to raise Alejandro's father.

Alejandro had always felt sorry for his abuelo, he went and married the wrong women who ended up leaving him in the end. His thoughts were interrupted by his grandfather's grunting, struggling to carry the suitcase.

As Alejandro walked down the steps, he greeted his grandfather. "Hola abuelo, how was your stay at the hotel?" Alejandro said politely trying to shake his hand. Alano didn't notice though, he seemed distracted. Sighing Alano said blankly with almost no emotion "Alejandro please lets just get this over with... where is this fiance of yours?"

As if by cue, Heather walked down the stairs yawning and stretching her arms, looking as if she had just woken up. Alano's old face brightened up when he saw Heather. "Ah well if it isn't the girl who bumped me in the hotel lobby!" "Wha-?" Heather mumbled rubbing her eyes. Chuckling Alano walked over to Heather and patted her on the back.
