06 ➳ The Wedding Pt.2

♪ That anybody ever really

~Your POV~

I clap with everyone else as the bride and groom kiss, sealing their promise of marriage to each other.

I look next to me, seeing Sasha smiling brightly for her cousin. The bride was only twenty-three, we were just sixteen, almost seventeen, and eighteen years old.

After all has settled down, the reception begins and all invitees take a seat at some of the tables, others dance on the artificial dance floor.

"Hey, Y/n?" Sasha asked me as we sit down at an empty table with Gene and Zenix.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Do you think any of us will be married at twenty-three years old?" She questions. "Or, maybe even in love, but not married yet?"

"I can't really sa-" I start, but was cut off by a loud voice coming from the person beside me.

"You might be, Sasha!" Gene exclaims, slinging an arm around my shoulders. I see Zenix and Sasha give each other weird glances due to Gene's behavior. "But Y/n here definitely won't."

"I'll just be a lonely old hag living in a crappy apartment, no big deal." I say shrugging, going along with Gene's joke.

"Ok, out of our little group," Zenix starts, getting everyone's attention, "who's gonna fall in love, and be loved back by that same person, first?"

"My moneys on you." I say to Zenix, who's face shows immediate confusion. "I might sound crazy,"

"You definitely are crazy." Sasha butts in.

"But Zenix has that 'ladies man' quality." I joke, then we all burst out laughing. "Ok, no. But seriously, I just have a hunch that he's gonna get lucky with his soulmate quickly."

"Yeah, she's definitely crazy." Gene said, looking at Sasha, who just grins back at him.

"I say, Gene." Sasha said. "He's older than all of us by a year, so it kinda makes sense he'd get out of the restrain of high school and find someone." Gene smiles with and arrogant grin, pretending to wipe his shirt from imaginary dirt and grime.

"Ehh," I commented, watching Gene's face fall into a playful, yet serious look. "Gene, you said I wouldn't find love, so you're not gonna find love."

"Hey!" Gene yells over dramatically. We all laugh.

"Karma's a b**ch." I say, hitting the black haired boy lightly on the arm.

Sasha and Zenix look at each other with a small and secretive smirk while watching Gene and I's playful antics, as if reading each other's minds.

"Ok, Gene." I say, "who's gonna fall in love first?"

"Sasha." He said. "I just picked the person who didn't have any votes for them."

"I didn't have any votes either." I huff, crossing my arms in a funny manner.

"So what about you, Zenix?" Gene questions. "Who's going to get hit by Cupid's Arrow first?"

The brunette looks at Sasha in a knowing fashion, then back to Gene and I. "I think you and Y/n will at the same time. So my vote is split in two."

"That literally makes no sense." I comment. "Why would we fall in love at the same time? That's just stupid." I roll my Y/e/c eyes.

Sasha and Zenix look at me with an expression that reads 'How can you be so dumb?', and I have absolutely no idea what they mean by that.

"Wait, what does that mean?" I question. I look backwards at Gene. I see Gene put his hands behind his head and hum to himself as a response, before closing his eyes and leaning back in his chair. I heard a faint chuckle erupt from his lips.

"I thought you would've figured it out by now, I originally though you were smarter that that. But I guess I was mistaken." Zenix teases.

I roll my eyes again, desperately trying to fake that I don't care about what they said, but I really do want to know what they meant by their statement.

I look back at the two, and they have the same 'all knowing' smirk plastered on their features.

"Stop looking at me like that!" I snap, clearly flustered by them teasing me. I was horrible on reading in between the lines.

The night went on after that conversation. We watched all of the speeches by direct relatives from the newlyweds, and we eventually all got so delicious cake and another food.

After an hour or two, Zenix and Sasha were pulled away by Sasha's mother. The mother said she needed their help with setting up the presents.

All night I couldn't stop thinking in what Zenix had said, I just couldn't understand it.

"I think you and Y/n will at the same time."

I understand that he could've meant that it will be a coincidence if we fell in love we different people at the same time, but why be that specific?

I suddenly heard one of my favorite slow songs begin to play from the speakers. Couples covered the dance floor, holding each other close, gliding along the floor gently with the music.

I smiled and began to hum softly with the beat, knowing each and every lyric by heart. I closed my eyes, swaying side to side with the rhythm, entranced with the sound.

I felt someone grab my hand and pull me out of my seat. My eyes snap open to see the one and only Gene pulling me towards the floor.

"Gene?" I almost laugh. "What on earth are you doing?"

"Well, Y/n, you hum quite loudly."

"And?"

"So I'm guessing you like the song, and with that, I assumed you wanted to dance." Gene comments, stopping right before he stepped on the wooden floor. He looked over at me, making sure if I would go on the floor too.

"With you?" I giggle.

The bright blue eyed boy grabbed my hand again, pulling me into the floor with him. He used his right arm to wrap around my waist, and he grabbed my right hand with his left, then I used my left hand to grab his upper arm of his right arm, my right hand holding on to his left.

"Who else would you dance with, Zenix?" He questioned as we started dancing slowly together.

I laughed at his joke. "Fair point, Gene."

The song continued as we swayed in sync to the soft beats, hand in hand. I leaned in close and rested my head on his right shoulder, his head right next to mine.

"Hey, Gene?"

"Yeah? What is it, princess?"

"When us and Sasha and Zenix were talking about love, what did those two mean when they said we'd fall in love at the same time? I still don't understand." I sighed.

"They meant that we'd fall in love with each other, like at the same time."

"Oh." I said. I was thankful my head was on his shoulder so he couldn't see my cheeks beginning to blush a light pink. "Well that wont ever happen." I say, trying to diffuse the awkwardness I was feeling, but I could tell that Gene was completely un-phased.

     
     Gene only gave a small hum in response.
