Destiny

Chapter 1: The Wedding

Addy is ready to marry the man she loves. The man who has the same vision as her. He stood there waiting for her with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes, knowing that he's ready to build a family with her. As Addy walks down the aisle with her Dad on her side, his eyes keep looking at her. Out of control, tears streaming down his face. Tears of joy finally he found the one he needed.

"Hello! Earth to Addy!" Matthew snaps his fingers in front of my face.

"Umm... What?" I asked, knowing Matthew will snap at me again. This time not fingers, but his filthy mouth. Meanwhile, Marcus was busy eating his Zuppa soup.

"Seriously?! I keep talking to you about my horrible boss, but you did just ignore me. Daydreaming all the time."

"I'm sorry, I was just... Thinking about how my wedding will be."

"Pfft... As if Lucas wants it. Break up with him and find someone that wants to marry you, cherish you. He doesn't want any marriage nor kids. Your vision and his don't match. At all." Marcus answers this time.

"Okay, I get it."

"No, you don't. If you get it, you're single ready to mingle right now. Come on, find someone attractive here at your cousin's wedding. I bet there's, at least, one attractive guy."

Did he encourage me to cheat on Lucas? For real? I give him the look. The look that I give every time I see a spider, the look of disgust.

"Matty, did you hear yourself? You asked me to cheat on Lucas. That's disgusting. I'm not a cheater."

"So what? We never like Lucas anyway." Again, it's Marcus. These twins.

That part was true. None of my support system (my three best friends and my parents) like Lucas at all. I feel weird. On one side, I love my family and best friends. But on the other side, I do love Lucas. Do I? I think I do.

I met Lucas at a charity event held by Jonathan's family, Amelia's boyfriend. They were positive we could be a great couple. They were supportive as best friends until I told Amelia about Lucas didn't wanna get married and have kids. Amelia went crazy towards Jonathan in front of me and Matthew. It was very bad, even I needed to send my dogs, Archie and Noah, into their bedroom (yes, they have their bedroom). Since then, Amelia has always given Lucas a hateful look. Jonathan and I couldn't do anything to that, neither does Matthew or Marcus. It's not a big deal, isn't it? I mean, the marriage.

"I think I will go home now. My poor babies, all by themselves. What kind of fur mother am I leaving my babies all alone?" I wink at Matthew and Marcus.

"Not after finding one attractive guy?" Matthew sounds disappointed.

"Yup. Come on, I came with you two to my cousin's wedding, now it's you guys' duty to take me home too."

"I haven't found a woman to get laid yet," Matthew said with a sad face like he just lost his cat.

"And I haven't tried every food here. You're such a party pooper." Marcus gives me a disbelief look.

"I wish Amelia never introduced you two to this new appearance and life. I miss my 'faggot' best friends." I tease them.

"Your faggot best friends are dead, okay? And fine, we'll take you home if we want to stay alive. Your Dad will stab us with his samurai if I'm not taking you back home safe and sound."

"Hahaha... Thank you! Let's say goodbye to my parents first."

I'm looking for my parents, only to find them dancing like crazy. Like it's their wedding all over again.

"Hi, Dad! Hi, Mom!" I kinda yelled since the music is so loud.

"Hi, binky!" They greet me back with my childhood name and a smile.

"I'm tired and I want to get some rest. It's that okay with you guys that I'm going early?"

"Yeah, that's okay, binky. You two will take my daughter back home, right?" Dad asks Matthew and Marcus with a firm tone, making sure that they wouldn't ditch me.

"Y-yes, Sir. She'll be back home safely and we make sure, no one will give her harm, not even a fly." Marcus said that like he just saw a ghost.

"Good. You guys better be, or you two won't see the sun anymore for the rest of your life. You know that I'm a lawyer and I heard a lot of stories about murder. I can get away easily if I need to kill you both." Still eyeing Matthew and Marcus.

"James! You scared my precious Matty and Marcus." Mom slaps Dad's chest.

"What? I don't want something to happen to my daughter, am I wrong?"

"Okay, okay. They will, Dad, so drop that 'lawyer' thing. You warned them since we were in junior high, and it stuck with them at the back of their head since then." I laugh while Matthew and Marcus give my parents, especially Dad, an awkward smile.

After I finished saying goodbye to my parents, it's time to say goodbye to my cousin. She sees me and waves her hand.

"Hey, binky."

"Hey, pretty. I'm sorry in advance, I need to go home now."

"Oh come on. So soon?" She gives me the eyes like Archie and Noah do if they're asking for treats.

"Archie and Noah are all alone."

"Oh yeah, Archie and Noah. You're right, that's okay though. Thank you for coming to my wedding and helped a few things. I love you so much, binky! See you real soon?"

"Yes, definitely. And you're very welcome, darling. I love you too." I give her and her husband a hug before Matthew, Marcus, and I walk to the parking lot.

We walk to the car with my head full of thoughts. So, this is the wedding vibes people talking about, huh? A mixture of feelings. Happiness and joy to start a new life with your partner, but sadness because you need to separate from your family, and anxiety about the journey you will have in the future with your loved ones. Am I being able to feel all that in my relationship with Lucas someday? I wish Lucas will give another shot for that. Maybe try to discuss his wedding dream. A lot of people do have a dream wedding, right?
