Tightrope

Chapter 35

Amy’s POV:

Today is the day of my wedding, and I am super excited but super nervous. I had just got my dress on and I was gazing at myself through the mirror in mine and Aston’s bedroom. Aston stayed at Marvin’s house with JB and Oritsé overnight – he wanted to keep the tradition of not seeing the bride before the wedding. I’m not going to lie; I thought that was really sweet of him. He also insisted that I stay at home and he went elsewhere.

“You look beautiful,” I hear Rochelle gasp from the bedroom door and I turn around to smile at her, “do you think so?” I ask just as AJ appears in the doorway and she too gasps, “You’re so beautiful! Aston doesn’t know what treat he has got,” AJ says and I giggle. My dress was a backless dress that was fitted with a train with sparkly silver heels. My hair was curled and clipped with a flower on the right side of my head with my makeup done naturally but with smoky eyes. I have a second gown for the party so that I quickly move around and that I’ll be able to dance. My second gown is a fitted boob tube with which flares out to the knees but has a train.

“Your car has just arrived by the way,” Chloe grins and I giggle as I manage my way down the stairs, “oh dear, let’s see what Aston has gotten me,” I giggle as the girls giggle too. Yeah, I allowed Aston to sort out his suit, his best men and our honey moon along with the car that will take me to our venue. He insisted that he wanted to sort those out so with reluctance, I allowed him to. However, when the door opened there was THE most beautiful limo I have ever seen. “Oh my God,” I gasp and Aston invades my mind, “he’s so good to you,” I hear AJ and I giggle “he really is,” I reply and we make our way over to the limo. “Where are my parents?” I ask since my dad will be walking me down the aisle, “Marvin told me that everyone is at the venue already along with your parents, and Aston is so excited to see you... and your dress,” Rochelle says and I grin “bless him,” I say quietly.

Aston’s POV:

Pacing at the bottom of the aisle, I begin to panic thinking Amy won’t turn up. It’s only the last couple of minutes that I’ve had this thought and I don’t know what to do. Huffing, I happen to turn around and Marvin is standing midway down the aisle, “she’ll turn up,” he says as though he’s reading my mind. Showing my exasperation through my hand gestures, I frown which makes Marvin frown before he approaches me. “Come, sit down,” he says and sits me down on 1 of the chairs on the front row and he sits next to me. “Don’t panic, she’ll turn up. Remember what I said when you came around my house? She LOVES you, she adores you, and she won’t do a runaway bride. I bet she’s on her way here now. You were panicking those couple of months ago, but look where you are! Look what is around you! This is YOUR wedding. She’s done all of this preparation, she won’t run. Trust me,” he says and I feel like I’m going to burst out crying, “promise me she’ll turn up,” I say and he nods.

It seems on cue that JB is standing in front of us, “she’s here,” he says and I feel my throat go dry, “I told you,” Marvin nudges me and I smile “she’s here,” I repeat and JB he grins “oh my God,” I whisper and stand at the front of the aisle as everyone begins to take their seats.

Marvin’s POV:

“How come you said I told you to Ast?” JB asks just as we get outside to go and greet the girls, “he was panicking that she won’t turn up,” I said and he chuckled “bless him,” he says just as we approach the car where Amy’s dad is and Oritsé.

The bridesmaids get out of the car and bundle just outside the car while Amy gets out, but the way she’s dressed is absolutely stunning! “Wow you look amazing!” Oritsé gasps and Amy giggles before she turns to me “you look beautiful babe; Aston doesn’t know what he’s got coming,” I say and she blushes “you’re stunning,” JB says and she giggles again before she turns to her dad who gives her a little emotional speech.
