After months of chasing and courting, Nick and Dreena finally got it together and settled their issues. Nakuha na din sa wakas ni Nick ang approval ng lolo ni Dreena at ng pinsan nitong si kamahalan. Although Dreena's cousin, James was a bit reluctant at first, sa huli ay napapayag din ito ng mag-nobyo na tanggapin ang relasyon nila lalo na ng malaman ng lahat ang hindi inaasahang balita— Dreena's pregnancy.

Dalawang black eye ang natamo ni Nick but what is pain when you get to stay with the woman you love for the rest of your life, di ba?

The preparations for Nick and Dreena's wedding was quick. It was held in Dreena's home in London. Especial din ang simbahan kung saan idinaos ang kasal. Ang sabi, lahat daw ng miyembro ng pamilya nila ay doon ikinasal. They said it has some miraculous power that can really make a wedding vow do come true. The 'I will love you in sickness and in health.. till death do us part' kind of shit. But. It only works to those couples in love.

"So, what do you think?"

Napa-angat siya ng tingin. Sa kanyang harapan ay si Dreena habang suot suot ang white wedding gown nito. Napangiti siya ng maluwag.

"Your gorgeous."

"You think so?"

"Oo naman."

Tumayo siya saka ito nilapitan. Tinanggal niya ang ponytail nito.

"You should wear your hair down. Mas bagay sayo."

Sinipat nito ang hitsura sa salamin.

"Hm.. yes, I should wear my hair down."

"I told you." She grinned.

Umikot pa ito ng isang beses sa harap ng salamin na tila ba isa itong prinsesa. But who is she kidding? Dreena is a real life princess. A royalty. Damn.. but Nicklaus is indeed a lucky bastard who landed himself a beautiful princess such as her.

"You should try your dress too."

"I've already tried it Dreena.. nakakapagod kayang magbihis." She whined.

"Tsk. Sige na... please..." Sumamo nito with her puppy dog eyes.

Iniikot na lang niya ang mga mata.

"Fine."

Pumalakpak ito na parang isang bata.

"Tss.."

Kinuha niya ang dress na nasa kahon at saka pumunta sa likod ng divider. Mabilis niyang hinubad ang damit at saka isinuot ang gown. It's a royal blue in color. Kasing kulay ng mga mata ni Dreena. Sleeveless iyon at tanging strap lamang ang sumusuporta sa bodice ng damit. Kapag tumalikod naman siya, kalahati ng likod niya ang exposed. It looks sexy but elegant nonetheless. That, and she looks damn hot in it. Napangiti siya. She can't wait to show this to Chase first! Well after Dreena of course since she insisted on seeing her wearing it first. Pero okay lang iyan, at least Chase will be the first male na makakakita sa gown niya. She grinned.

Kasalukuyan niyang sinisipat ang sarili sa salamin ng makarinig ng magkasunod na katok.

"I'll get it!" Sigaw ni Dreena. Narinig niya ang pagbukas sara ng pinto. Muli niyang tinitigan ang sarili sa salamin bago nagpasyang lumabas.

"So, what do you think Dreena?" She asked while looking down and palming the skirt of her gown.

"You look gorgeous, right, cousin?"

Upon hearing that, mabilis siyang nag-angat ng tingin. And it's as if the air was knocked out of her lungs when she saw who's standing just three feet away from her.
