The Heart Determines

Chapter 12 - My Mother's Gift

Our wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks, and my heart still didn't determine. Sigh.......why does time go by so quickly? This world really needs a pause button. -.-

Today, James and I are deciding on our location, decorations, and some other crap for the wedding. I thought it'll be nice to have it in a kaleidoscopic(<--in other words, colorful) church, to really brighten and put color in our wedding. However, James thought it'll be nice to have our wedding outdoors with nature surrounding us. I had to admit, his suggestion was nice, but the location we wanted is going to be packed with weddings for next two months. So, we decided to go with the church.

For the guests' dining tables, I thought baby blue would be suitable, however Mr. Smartypants thought snow white would be better. I'm telling you white is super traditional, I'm not saying it's a bad choice, but it's just too common. I want my wedding to be unique, not the way everyone else chooses. You get what I mean?

"I'm telling you white is really common, why not spice it up a bit?"

"Sabrina, I want it to be white so it can match your dress. You are one of the most important people in this wedding. The BRIDE!"

"Well you're going to be in a black tux, you want the decorations to be black? Would that be suitable my GROOM?" 

"Geez, Sabrina it's just a color. Does it really matter?"

"Actually James, it does. It's my wedding too! What's so wrong about having a different wedding compared to others? I want our wedding to be unique! Lots of other people chose this color, too you know!"

"Fine whatever, baby blue it is."

"Thank you."

James and I had several disagreements from the past week. However, I did win most of them, so we didn't have to continue fighting. Nevertheless, I still can't believe we're arguing. I mean..... in the past we had such a perfect relationship. ( Well, not perfect....but you get what I mean.) And now we're....not what we used to be....

RING!-------RING!-------RING!----------

"Hello?"

"Honey? It's me, Mom."

"Hey Mom, what's up?"

"Can you come over for a bit? I want to show you something."

"Um...sure. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Bye."

"Bye."

Hope this will help me feel better.

My parents' (my original) house, is a blue two story house with all sorts of plants surrounding it. (But it's not those kind of houses where they cramp plants in every space possible. o.O We probably have around 20 plants in there....not too much.)

"Hey honey, come on in."

I glanced around my old house....nothing really changed in here....the light green walls, the white sofas, the flat sceen tvs, and last but not least...... my room. 

I sat myself on the yellow couch I'd watch tv on.......watching nonstop movies and reality shows..............boy did I really miss home.

Mom brought us some iced tea and her homemade cookies. I'd never get tired of those cookies....... so soft and full with warm chocolate on the outside........Deeeeeelicious.......

"What do you wanna show me?"

She held out a big purple box and smiled.

"Since you and James are getting married in almost a week, I thought it was time to show you something special."

She opened the box and there revealed a shimmering white dress, made with the finest silk with tiny diamonds. Lacy ruffles that go from the waist down. Strapless, twinkling, and beautiful.

"It was my wedding dress. I had so many great memories just from just putting it on........I want you to have this, dear."

"Oh my goodness. it's so beautiful! Thank you so much Mom! You're the best!" I cried as I hugged her.

"Well......go ahead and try it on. Tell me if it's alright."

"Okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh my goodness. You look gorgeous, Sabrina! William, honey? Come up and look at Sabrina!"

"MOM~ that's so embarrasing!...." I wailed.

"What is it? Oh my gosh.....our little girl really has grown up!" sobbed Dad.

"Thank you so much Mom and Dad! I got to go home and show James!"

Uh-oh.......'show James'...............what if he doesn't like it? We had so many arguments lately......I'm afraid if he still has that misbehaving attitude. Like it or not, I'm still going to wear this.

"Bye honey!! Hope he likes it!"

"Bye! Me too!"

He better like it or else I'm gonna kick his stinkin' ass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where were you?"

"I was at my parents' house. Mom gave me her wedding dress. It's really gorgeous."

"Let me see."

I came back in my mother's dress. I twirled it to see if James was paying attention. When I stopped twirling, I found James smiling. Oh, how I missed that smile for so long. I'm glad he likes it. Now I don't have to kick his ass............

"Wow. It's.. beautiful. Almost as gorgeous as you."

I had to blush....because what kind of girl doesn't like a guy complimenting on you?

"Thanks."

He got off the couch and reached for my hands. He stared into my eyes while I did the same, as always.

"Look, I'm sorry for arguing and putting pressure on you. I just wanted to make you happy."

"Well, you're making progress."

I smiled and he laughed.We looked into each others eyes again, and knew that we were about to kiss. He leaned in gave me those kisses again. Oh how I long for them. I kissed him back and enjoyed the moment. Glad that we're back and in love again. Hoping that this moment, would last forever.
