Chapter :9
"You may now kiss the bride."
Emma slightly bent over to kiss my mom.I sighed looking down at the small four year old girl by my side who's tugging my dress"Can I call you sis from now on?"Elli asked with a big hopeful smile.
I looked at the newly wed couple before looking down at Elli my lips quivered but I tried to return her smile whispering"It's ok,you can call me whatever you want". I looked away so she couldn't see my teary eyes.
A new mom?How in the world can I have a new mom?
It's not like Emma is a bad person or anything.I had to admit she's a very nice beautiful young lady but being a well known businesswoman She has a slight bossy aura in her personality which intimidates me.She has kinda tan skintone,short blackish-brown bob hair & deep brown eyes.In contrast Sarah,my mom,has very light milky skintone,bluish-green eyes & long blonde hair which touched her waist.And she's very childish fun-loving person just like me.I think they complemented eachother in some ways.It's just that...let's say I didn't expect a new Mom after all.
I looked over at Elli to my right who's now huging a tall boy's legs,her brother & my new step-brother,whom I didn't even meet yet.I looked at them for a few minutes.That boy with brown locks which looks kinda familiar,crouched down & hugged her tightly hiding his face in her shoulder.
I sat at a table suppressing the urge to cry,watching my mom smiling at her new wife who's standing by her side receiving compliments & congratulations from guests.
I tore my gaze from the happy-couple wiping the stray tear which had managed to roll down my cheek as someone sat next to me.I looked at my shoes,thinking it's one of my many family members & if I ignore they'll go away.But the person had other thoughts.
Clearing his throat awkwardly he starts "Hey...Look here".
I gasp looking up at the guy infront of me......Erik?
No no no...it can't be him.Please tell me I'm dreaming,God please...
"Listen I ........"his eyes widened in shock he stopped mid sentence"Suzie?"he state but it came out as a question.I want to say something but my voice is failing me.
Before I can say something Elli comes running towards us with a toothy grin & hugged my legs,the newly wed couple tailing behind her"what happened to you two?"Emma,my new mom asked looking at our shocked expressions.
"O-oh it's nothing,don't worry..."Erik recovered quickly "er...why are you here?come on let's dance"he said while leading Emma towards the dance floor.
"Come on Elli"my mom helped her to sit on one of the chairs where I'm currently sitted & sat down beside me,taking my hands in her own"What's wrong?"she asked looking me in the eyes.
"Nothing really"I chuckled averting my gaze towards the dance floor...Erik has a forced smile on his face but there's Emma who has a huge smile plastered on her face as they slowly dance across the floor...I looked at Elli who's on her own world playing with a piece of cake on her plate & then my mom who's smiling at me..I can see the happiness...I gave her a small smile squeezing her hand for reassurance"I'm fine,mum".
...After all Who am I to ruin their happiness?...
