The Best Friend's Contract

My eyes are focusing into her blue ones as they meet mine.

She hasn't heard of my vows yet when we were busy preparing because apparently, according to Dimitri... my vows were horrible. So, I had a last minutes planning last night when I wasn't able to get a proper sleep. Hopefully, it'll be better than saying something simple but at least, it's not from the internet and sincerely from my heart and mind.

"Kenna, today... all other things melt away as I look at you and love you beyond all reason and beyond all ideal. I stand outside by myself and join with you my loving wife in our new life. From you, I've learned how to dream and what it is to have a loving partner who supports your dreams. I vow to help you in your dreams and desires, and to create a life, and a loving home as your best friend, your husband." I say with a smile on my face, including hers.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Even after all we've been through, I still can't believe that I'm the one who gets to stand here and have you as my wife. I love you," I add before blinking a few times, not realising the words to have escaped my mouth but covering it quickly with another smile.

She smiles back, "Aidan... it is clear to me now that everything in my life has led me to you. I think back on all my choices and consider even the bad ones blessed, because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you and become your wife. Technically speaking, if I hadn't gone to the same kindergarten as you, we might've never met." She says and the crowd starts to chuckle because believe it or not, most of them know about how we met.

"On this day, I'd like to admit how wrong I have always been. Love is not blind, in fact love sees all. I love all of you, Aidan. Your faults and flaws cast a beautiful light-like the flaws of a precious jewel. You are everything to me, my best friend. We've spent twenty-years, two hundred and forty months and seventy-three hundred days together. I can't wait for more," She ends with a grin, plastered on her face.

Dimitri walks up to give us the rings, instantly letting us exchange rings.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," The priest says and my heart skips a beat as my hands go up to cup onto her face, leaning in.

Glancing one last time into her blue eyes before looking down at her lips, I see they're curving up into a smile as our lips meet. Our eyes close at the sudden jolts of electricity overflowing in my veins which causes me to deepen the kiss, ignoring the claps and the woos coming from the crowd as if there's only the two of us.

As I break the kiss, I find myself instantly looking up into her eyes. The sudden sparks were new and they were something I've never felt before no matter how many times I've kissed someone on the lips. Not even Kenna when we've kissed, twice in the past month. "Did you feel that?" I whisper as she looks at me in confusion but before she can ask me the reason to my question, we're being congratulated by the crowd and Dimitri has already pulled both of us into a bone-crushing hug; trying my best not to die out of suffocation. "That was really cute," Dimitri says before letting us go.

Both Kenna and I walk up the aisle, glancing at our parents and our families as they all clap and smile at us. It's not a surprise to see my mother and Julia to wipe their tears from streaming down their cheeks, leaving me turning to look at Kenna, again who is waving at Ava.

"Wait," I say as soon as we've entered the lobby, letting the rest of the guests to head straight towards the banquet hall before us.

Just as she turns to look at me, I immediately lean in to kiss her on the lips which surprises her immediately. Both of my hands are cupping onto her face as my head leans in due to our heights and within seconds, the cameras are flashing in at the scene-causing me to lean back to see Dimitri, is one of them, using his phone.

The sparks had disappeared which eases me slightly, knowing I was probably hallucinating when we kissed back in the wedding hall.

"Right. For the wedding album," She replies.

As we enter the banquet hall, we stop in the middle of the entrance as we both look around at the decorations. The sky has darken as our wedding was being held in the evening due to a better sky view during the ceremony which is the best choice as the stars are a brighter tonight, including the moon.

I let out a deep breath before turning

to look at Kenna, seeing her smiling as she stares around in awe-liking, probably even loving the

decorations. Ever since she want

busy at work most of the time, had planned the decorations withmy mother and Julia. Julia did a great job describing Kenna's likings and it's no doubt... they're all true.

"I didn't expect this," She breathes.

I smile, "It's all for you."

The guests are clapping their hands at our presence, letting us pass through and towards the middle of the hall. Surprisingly, the music

starts to play which causes menet

look down at her who has a smile on her face before placing both of my hands on her waist as she places both of her hands on my shoulders near my neck.

"You chose Till The End by Jessie Ware?" I ask, looking down at her face and instantly realising that we're inches apart.

"I didn't," She replies with a smile on her face as I twirl her once before pulling her towards me again, this time closer. Our eyes are staring into one another-remembering how we didn't exactly rehearse this during our rehearsal dinner because both of us knew how to

slow dance.
