Walking Down the aisle, Leona smiled to herself as the Wedding music sounded through the church.
Leona felt tears swell in her eyes as all the brides took in a line at the alter, and watched her Best friend, the Bride, Sophia move closer to her husband to be, Mark Kimner..
Leona looked to her boyfriend of 5 years Erik Davidson the reason she moved to Madrid 3 years ago, her life, the love of her life.
Like always her mind drifted in and out of reality.
"Hey, hey Leona snap out of it." Leona's good friend Daisy nudged her.
Leona snapped her eyes away from Erik and looked at her friend who gave her a worried look.
Leona smiled before whispering "Sorry. What have I missed?"
Daisy smirked before whispering back, "The vows.'
Oh shit.... Better concerntrate on the rest of the ceremony.
"I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Kimner!"
Everyone in the whole church stood up as they watched Mark and Sophia have the first-time-kiss as a married couple.
But unlike everyone else Leona didn't have tears of joy, instead the tears rolling down her face, where ones of sadness, emptiness and above all, loniness. Erik just didn't make her feel special anymore, she had moved her whole life, much to the disagreement of her parents, away from England and to Madrid; and what for? Now it seems for nothing!
Leona still loved Erik to pieces, but there was just something him now'a days, she didn't like and it worried her to think he was doing something behind her back.
(The Wedding Reception)
Leona walked into the massive hall hand-in-hand with Erik, and gazed in awe and wonder at her surroundings.
"Hey, you alright?" Someone interrupted her thoughts. Leona looked up to see her boyfriend staring at her with an unreadable expression.
"Yes, I'm fine!" Leona smiled sweetly at him.
Erik rolled his eyes cursing whenever his girlfriend of 5 years would dip in and out of reality. Erik had seemed very distant to his girlfriend recently and there was actually a reason for that, a few months ago Erik had a transfer promotion to go work in Scotland. And Erik knew that it was not an opportunity to just turn down, so he accepted the transfer. But there was just one problem.... Leona, Leona wasn't thrilled when he had made her pack-up all her belongings and move to a Madrid with him, so he decided he wouldn't be taking her to Scotland with him. But still he couldn't find any easy way of breaking up with Leona without, her causing a scene.
Then a plan formed in Eriks head
"Hey Leona."
Leona at the boyfriend "yes"
"There's this new fancy restaurant opening tomorrow night and I am taking you there!"
Leona's eyes sparkled as she nodded, this is finally it she thought to herself.
She excused herself and ran to find Sophia, she quickly found her sitting with her newly-wed husband.
"Hey Mark, hey Sophia"
"Hey!" Sophia and Mark said in unison.
"So guess what!" Leona began....
"What??" Sophia questioned her best friend.
"Well Erik said there was this new fancy restaurant opening tomorrow and he's taking me there, Sophia, I think he's going to purpose!" Leona started jumping up and down hardly being able to contain her excitement.
Sophia looked at her friend in surprise, then in shock, and then in pure bliss happiness as she got off her seat and started jumping up and down with Leona.
Mark laughed with joy at his wife and his wife's Bestfriend (who was also his good friend) knowing Marriage is something that Leona has always wanted.
"Oh My God Leona, I'm so happy for you!!" Sophia shouted.
"We both are!" Mark a lot more calmly then his wife, giving Leona a hug.
"Ha awe, thank you guys, Congratulations where is the honeymoon destination by the way?" Leona asked full curiosity.
Sophia and Mark smiled wide at each other before saying together.
"We're going to Barbados!!!"
Leona's eyes widened with surprise and jealousy, how lucky is Sophia! She gets a man who knows how to treat her right.
But none of that mattered to Leona she thought, she thought that all that consent distance, and avoidance between her and Erik was all going to change.
