My Sister Is Not The Bride

tand outside, just there staring at me through the window. And just like in Highschool, a lot

e alone. It all felt like I was in a movie. I'd ignore him the tim

l might have acted irrationally in the past, but he seems like he's ready to take you seriously now. I mean he's even left school to come here, for you. At least that counts for something, right... ?" She said, giving me a convincing look. She was right, he seems genuine. I just didn't want to give a chance that I'd regret later. "You're right Lana, but it is in fact very hard for me... I mean why me? There's plenty of girls, why me? I just don't believe any of this." I avoided her contact. "Luna look at me... What are you so scared of?" I bent my head down in defeat. Wha

ally working overtime yo!" She had this teasing look on her face. "I'd do anything to have my crush look at me the way he looks at you. Can't you see it? Man's serious about you." Lan

." At least I hope it would. " Good girl, now let's sort this assignment out, smarty pants." She loved calling me that. But I can't dispute that; I was infact a 'Smarty pants'. She giggled, digging into her

rghh, he's so annoying!" I stamped my feet. Was he though? I mean I sort of liked the whole attention. He literally was doing everything possible to convince me he was here. But why am I still hell bent on giving him a hard time? I guess I just don't wanna seem too easy; because I'm not easy. I had a strange smirk on my lips. Was I anticipating our meeting right no

e him. He was breathtaking too. How I've missed getting this close to him. Standing by his side now, I began to see potentials. I mean it could work, couldn't it? Althoug

just felt the urge to be submissive to him. I wanted to be babied all of a sudden. I needed to be the calm and gentle feminine side right now. He had this control over me that I actually loved. As well walked up the stairs, the place void of people

ven look your way. All those years of you waiting and yearning for me, I too was waiting and yearning for you. I said it all to you at prom night, but allow me to repeat myself. Life hadn't been too fair to me at that time, but having to wake up, anticipating to see you at school made it easier for me to navigate. You helped me heal, Luna." Is this real? Does he mean all of this? So I didn't fall first, we both fell first and harder for each other - but in secret. "What I've learnt these past few years is to project my feelings, and to avoid procrastination. I've had the urge to approach you many times, after i found out we were on the same page... " " So why didn't you? Why didn't come to me and told me how you felt. All those years of you knowin

to know how he felt so I could make him feel better. I stopped resisting him and held his hands closer. "What happened to her? Look at me." I held his cheeks with

ng on my neck. He let it all out, while I patted his back gently with my little hands. He cried like a big baby, and it broke my heart to see him like this. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to. I understand... " He breaks loose from the hug and hold my chin. "I'm fine, I need to." He reassured me, holding my face delicately. He then turned back and continued. "While I was at the counter, I noticed the fire from the gas and I got curious. I looked at Mom I'm the living, arguing with Dad as usual. They didn't have the best relationship, and so they were always fighting. They always had these big fights tha would sometimes lead to my dad leaving home for a couple of days. My mum always felt lonely. She'd have many thoughts in her head about Dad having an affair. When she confronted him, he'd deny it. That day

o he said. He was clearly having an affair with my step mum before my mum died and I hated him for that, I still do. He makes me feel like everything I did wasn't enough." He bit his lower lips in pain. I didn't like seeing him like this. It breaks my heart. "I am so sorry you had to go through all of that, and most of all, I'm sorry I made you relive those moments. I-i never should have asked. And don't blame yourself for anything, you were just a young sweet child, that couldn't have possibly intended any harm. It was just a mistake. People make mistakes, but I'm so sorry that one mistake claimed the life of someone so important and precious to you. Don't listen to him, it wasn't your fault. Rather than blaming you, he should

h longer without seeing you, thus my arrival the first time. I made up my mind to see you at prom night. And then the fire incidence happened... " It all made sense now. "It reminded you of that night's incident with your mum... " I felt too guilty now. Daniel has never been the bad guy, it was just circumstances. Dang it! I gave him a tough time all in the name of something he had no control over? Oh Luna. "Precisely. I got flashbacks from the past and I just sort of zoned out that night. I even got a panic attack and I was on th

I then remember that he wanted to tell me something on the night of prom. "Was this what you wanted to say, that night? You wanted to tell me all of this on that day, right?" "What I wanted to say was... " He holds my hands and draws me closer to him. "Was what... ?" I became nervous all of a sudden. What was he going to say? He moved even closer to me, too close that I moved back from him. He started coming closer, and I was tensed. Was he gonna kiss me? He was staring at my lips now, leaving no space between us. "What I wanted to say was... Luna Gonzalez, would you be my girlfriend?" He rea

nds and he put the ring on my left ring finger. Oh my gosh, did this just happen?! "Luna, this means a lot to me, you have literally made me the happiest man alive." My eyes beamed with excitement, this was a dream come true. "And you have equally made me t
