Our Love Grows

Chapter 5

"I do." I finial said.

You could see in his eyes that he was relieved that I said I do. I could tell that everyone in the crowd was scared and unsure if I was going to say it. I smiled at Brandon and he smiled back at me. I did not have any feelings for him at all. This was not good, but I will have to figure it out.

"Now I pronounce you man and wife. Usually I would say to kiss the bride but since you both just met you can shake hands, kiss, or something else." The preacher said.

Brandon leaned in and tried to kiss me but I turned by head and he kissed my cheek. I sighed with relief that he did not kiss me on the lips. We turned to face the crowd and walked down the alter. Everyone was cheering for us. Once we got out of the room I turned to him and said,

"Excuse me for a minute."

I walked away from him and sat down by a wall. I did not know what to do now. I did not have feeling for this guy. I looked up and saw my best friends standing over me.

"Stella are you alright?" Bloom asked.

"No, I don't know what to do. I don't have any feelings for this man." Stella said almost in tears.

"Stella calm down. You just have to take a deep breath and take it one step at a time. Who knows you might just fall in love with him through this experiment." Flora said trying to calm Stella down.

Stella got up and faced her girls. Maybe they were right. You can't always find your love at first sight right away. But I will have to take it one step at a time. I was going to make this work out even if we have to start out as friends. I gave my girl friends a hug and went to find my new husband to get to know him.

We walked to see him talking to his friends. He looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back and walked over to him. His friends walked away and I turned to him and said,

"They did not have to leave because of me."

"I think they just want us to have some time to get to know each other right now." Brandon said.

"Oh, okay. So what do you want to know about me?" I asked him.

"I guess everything." He told me truthfully.

"Well, I'm princess of Solaria and I have the great best friends. I went to Alfea for schooling. But you already knew that because we worked together on a few missions." Stella said smiling. "I really don't know what else to say."

"What about your family and what do you like to do for fun? Do you still design fashion?" Brandon asked.

I could not believe that he remember that. I use to love designing when I was at Alfea. I have not had lots of times design since I have been out of school.

"I have not been able to design only on my free time but that is practically never now a days. For my family, well you probably know about the divorce between the king and queen of Solaria. Which means daddy and mommy are no longer together." I said with a sigh.

It still hurts to know my parents got a divorce. They cannot stay in the same room together without fighting about anything and everything. I hope that they can get along for my wedding.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry about that." Brandon said putting a smile on his face.

I smiled back. He did have a nice smile. I really did like that. I thought to myself.

"Alright your turn. Tell me everything about you now." I said changing the subject.

"Alright. My family is my mother, father and me. I love them so much. They are my rock and everything. My father is why I work at the palace in Eraklyon. He is a guard there and he got me the job as Sky's squire. You know that I went to Red Fountain for school. I really don't know what else to say. You see all my friends before and you know that Sky is my best friend. I don't know what else to say." Brandon said shyly.

I could tell that this thing between Brandon and me will be alright. I may not have feelings for Brandon now but hopefully that will change in the future.
