Loveless♣

CHAPTER 60

    As she zipped up the long billowy startlingly white gown into place,she couldn't help but sigh at her reflection.

Her sister walked up behind her.
"You look exquisitely beautiful,dear,"she told her,smiling as brightly as the jeweled diamonds in her hands."May I?"

She nodded and her sister stepped behind her.Soon, the diamond necklace was clasped behind her neck and rested between the swell of her breasts.

"Oh my..it's.."She muttered in awe as she fingered the glistening jewels.

"Magnificent,Bella," Marabella gushed and sighed heavily."I never thought this day would come,sister."

Tears gathered in Bella's eyes but she was determined not to let them fall.Her makeup had just been freshly done and she couldn't ruin it just yet.

She would cry when this wonderful day was over.

She sighed alongside Marabella, and gingerly took the bouquet in her arms.

"Ready,Bee?" Marabella asked,lifting one crooked elbow.

Isabella smiled widely as she took it.
"Ready."

***********************

His heart fell out of his chest.

It had been fluttering about nervously all day,almost embarrassing him twice in front of his many guests which consisted of affluent and highly influential individuals from all walks of life,but it had simply stopped and fallen out of his chest the moment he laid eyes on her.

There she is.

She looked like a walking dream.

No,a walking goddess.

The wedding gown clung to her body like a second skin,accentuating all her curves,enhancing her already voluptuous figure.

Lord have mercy.

He hadn't even known he'd been gaping,until Joshua had leaned in close to him and whispered, through gritted teeth.

"Close your mouth,man,before a flea jumps in.Her entire family is watching you."

Emiko snapped his mouth shut,but could not stop staring.He was the true definition of mesmerized.

Joshua slapped a hand against his forehead and shook his head.He was just about to move closer to adjust Emiko's bowtie--as it was his esteemed duty as best man to keep to groom from drooling, looking out-of-sorts and other weddingly disasters accustomed to grooms who had just sighted their stunning brides--when his own heart betrayed him and fled from his chest.

What the hell?

His mouth fell ajar.

This time,Emiko--grinning rather smugly--leaned in and cleared his throat.

"Ahem..Joshua..your mouth is open."

But,unlike Emiko,Joshua did not do the opposite of what he was doing.

He could not.

For he was not only mesmerized, he was frozen.

Like an icicle.

All he could think about was...

Bella.

She was trailing Nina slightly,by her left whilst Peyton looked equally jawdroppingly beautiful on Nina's right.

They each held a bouquet and a part of Nina's dress upwards as they strode regally down the aisle to meet the two men standing there,looking quite...what's the word?
