Perfect ◇ Why Don't We

Chapter 12

Eliza did her makeup and changed into her bridesmaid outfit which was a pink dress that showed the curves of her perfect body.

"Eliza, can I come in?" Zach knocked on the door from the other side.

"Okay." Eliza said and tried to zip up her dress but she wasn't flexible enough.

Zach opened the door and walked into the room and scanned her up and down with a smirk. "You look extremely hot tonight."

"Thanks. But can you zip me up?" Eliza asked him.

"Why not." Zach smirked before he walked and stood behind her.

He slowly moved her hair to the side and he leaned forward to whisper her ear. "What will you give me in return?"

"Zach, we're already late." Eliza said in a shaky voice.

"So?" Zach asked as he ran his hands on her exposed back making her heartbeat speed up. He slowly lowered the sleeves of her dress making her hold her dress before it fell into the floor.

"Zach." Eliza shattered as she felt the graze of his lips against her bare back – a gesture that would have normally sent her head spinning only made her sick to the very pit of her stomach.

"Zach, we need to go." Eliza somehow managed to say through her gasps. She didn't want him to stop but she knew that Elsa wouldn't be happy if she got late on her wedding day.

"Alright." Zach said, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissed her cheek.

Eliza and Zach finally make it to the altar, where they took their places on each side.

Zach moved to stand behind Jonah.

"I'm freaking out here." Jonah turned and slightly whispered to him.

"You should. You're gonna be a married person." Zach whispered back while flirting with Eliza.

Jonah gulped nervously and whispered to him again. "You're not helping!"

"Calm down, man. Everything will be fine." Zach assured him.

Eliza smiled at him across the aisle making Zach smile back.

"I'm proud of you, buddy." Zach said, now looking at Jonah.

"Thank you, mate." Jonah said and flashed a smile at Zach.

Elsa walked, escorted by Jack, and everyone turned to watch them meet Jonah and the bridesmaids and groomsmen at the altar. Once everyone was in position, the Reverend began his homily.

Jonah was stunned speechless by the sight of Elsa, and they both beamed at each other.

"Welcome, family and friends, on this magical evening to the wedding of Jonah Marais and Elsa Saltzman. Elsa and Jonah have prepared their own vows." The Reverend said smiling.

"Ahem." Jonah said before he cleared his throat nervously.

"I got to meet you, the most beautiful, hilarious and intimidatingly brilliant woman I have ever known." Jonah started to give his vow.

Eliza and Zach looked at each other happily while Jonah spoke.

"I still can remember how we met first. You bumped into me and you scolded me like it was my fault." Jonah added, making everyone laugh including Elsa.

Eliza's eyes met Corbyn who was already gazing at her thinking about how he and Eliza met first. Eliza smiled at Corbyn who smiled back without thinking twice.
