Selene
The vows happed, rings happened, a kiss happened.
Everyone was just enjoying cake and dancing on the wooden platform. Bethany and Allan had set up the whole reception in their restaurant. I sat by the bar and sipped on my tall glass of grape juice.
"Perfect place to enjoy your wedding, right?" A girl with brunette hair that came to her shoulders strolled towards the stool next to mine. She was dressed in a beautiful purple dress flared in net to her knee, with a strapless sweetheart neckline. She had almost bronze eyes and a softness to her.
"I guess." I chuckled, carefully sipping in more juice, "Order you something?"
"Really?" She looked surprised.
"Its all free." I shrugged and she chuckled.
"A glass of red please." She ordered and turned to me with a bitten lip.
"So, why is the bride and not there?" She pushed the question out reluctantly like she was scared to pry. Her finger pointed at the dance floor where Sean was dancing with mom. I felt a grin paste on my lips.
"Tired." I felt my shoulders sag. My dress was spread around me like I was floating in air and the bar stool was completely invisible.
"They can be that hectic?" She leaned in to find my bowed face.
"They can be scary."
"You know, I dont know much. I'm just like, twenty two and I have a marriage planned soon. But the best part about it, is the wait. I cant do it but wvery moment of it gets me excited." Her eyes went from me to the dance floor and I followed them to Sean with a little boy enjoying the music in his lap.
"Wait..." I raised my hand and took her little left one. There was a beautiful petite, twisted vine, diamond ring. One of the twists was studded in little diamonds with a huge diamond sitting on its pinnacle.
"Naomi?" I guessed and she nodded with surprise on her face.
"Oh my God." I laughed taking her in a strong hug. She grunted but hugged me back.
"Hi." She spoke shyly loving away.
"Sean talked about you so much!" I was so overjoyed all of a sudden.
"He did?" She bit her lip.
"Yeah. Oh, I'm so glad you guys are tying the knot!" I jumped and then stopped, "Willingly, right?" I took her hand she laughed.
"Of course. Sean can try his best, but he cant force me to anything."
"Spoken like a true woman." I raised my for a high five and she gave me it.
"What's up ladies?" We heard a huffing voice and found Sean staring at us with a little boy cradled in his folded arms. He sat with his legs plopping down his front and butt in Sean's arms, like they were a seat.
"And you must be Ethan." I tapped his cute little nose. He had gelled up spike hair like Sean's and beautiful big brown orbs, just like Sean.
"No offense Naomi, but he is all Sean." I murmured to her and she giggled.
"I know." She sipped her wine and Sean raised his face to her from behind Ethan. Naomi gave him a sip and he relaxed.
"Hi Ethan." I raised a hand for him to shake.
"Hi. I'm Ethan." He spoke quietly and I felt an awe.
"I'm Selene." I shook his hand.
"Your godmother." Sean kissed the top of Sean's head and my eyes widened.
