Broken Heart

BH 33

His voice brought her back to reality.

"Pretend that you don't know him! He's just your business partner!" she chides herself.

She somehow managed to say the right words in response to the pastor even though she felt like there was a constant buzzing in her ears.

At last the pastor said "You may now kiss the bride!".

He looked at her with so much longing.

The crowd is shouting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

She steels herself to receive his kiss.

He held her chin and tipped her head slightly.

He looked her straight into her eyes.

She didn't look away.

She couldn't look away even if she tried.

It was as if she is being hypnotised.

She is wringing her hands in anticipation.

He slowly swooped in to kiss her...

Forehead!

He kissed her forehead!

Confusion is written all over her face.

"Were you expecting more?" she asked herself.

She mentally shakes her head.

But the kiss he gave her didn't satisfy the crowd.

They kept shouting for another kiss.

So she kissed him on the lips.

Which shocked her husband.

And obviously the crowd.

But after the initial shock they recovered and started clapping their hands.

But not her husband.

He looked as if he was bitten by a snake.

"Snap out of it Mister! It's just a kiss!" she hissed at him.

He gripped her hand a bit tightly.

"Call me by my name Mary Dale!" he whispered.

"Rokudenashi!" she called him with a smile on her face.

"Now why do I feel like you are cursing me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, Mister!"

They are already walking towards the table for the newlyweds.

"Call me Mister one more time and I'll..."

"You'll do what Mister?"

She doesn't know what made her push his button.

He suddenly grabbed her head and kissed her full on the lips.

He was supposed to just kiss her quickly but the collective cheers and claps of the crowd seems to encourage him.

He tried to deepen the kiss by biting her lower lip.

When he did so, she opened her mouth slightly.

He took the chance to insert his tongue inside her mouth.

She tried to push his chest away.

"Enough Edward! I can't breathe anymore." and she even rubbed her fist on her chest.

Edward is immediately concerned when he sees that she is a bit pale.

"I'm sorry Mary Dale! I'm so sorry!" and he held her arms with so much tenderness.

He ushered her to her seat and gave her a glass of water to drink.

While Dale is drinking, he kept stroking her hair and repeating the words, "I'm so sorry!".
