Lotus P. O. V
I am Lotus Kent, the elder daughter of the Kent family. My father, Steven Kent, is a respected army officer in the country. As my father is an army officer, I and my sister Lilly have been brought up with strict rules and regulations. That was never a problem for me. But my sister was rebellious sometimes. Today is my wedding. I'm right now waiting in my dressing room for my sister. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Everyone used to say that I was just a perfect replica of my mother. I have a small oval face with big hazel eyes. My skin was milky white. My hourglass figure is not so bad as I always have to exercise according to my father's rules. I'm wearing my mother's wedding dress, a simple white gown. Though it has been modified, I can still feel my mom's embrace in it. My waist-long brown hair is braided like a princess with flowers in it. I do not like makeup so I have just put on very light make-up as it is my wedding. When I was lost in my thoughts, Lilly came inside my room.
"Sis, you are looking great. I can bet that George can't take his eyes off you today," she said while looking in the mirror. I blushed crimson red. George was my childhood sweetheart. We went to school together. After high school, he left to join the army and I continued my studies in architecture. I waited for him and he came back to me after achieving his goal. 2 months ago he proposed to me and now we are getting married. He really loves me a lot.
"Where are you lost girl?" said Miranda. She's my stepmother and Lilly's mother. Yes, we are step-sisters. But they never treat me like what people say or read about stepmothers in the stories. She's such a sweet lady. And Lilly is more than a sister to me. She's my best friend. I stood up and hugged Miranda. She hugged me back.
"You are looking beautiful dear, your father will be so happy for you," said Miranda.
"Someone is missing me?" said my father from the doorstep. We all laughed together. Dad came near me and took my face between his hands.
"You look just like your mother, Lotus. You're a perfect daughter. I'm so proud of you," he said with moist eyes. My father is a tough man. This is the first time I saw tears in his eyes. I hugged him tighter.
"Love you, Dad," I said to him.
"Don't make my girl cry, Steven. Her makeup will be spoiled." Miranda scolded dad. All 4 of us burst into laughter. I am the happiest girl in the world. I have a loving family. And today I'm going to get married to my love. Life can't be more perfect.
"Let's go. It's time." said my sister. We all went out of the room. We got into the car which took us to the church. I and George both wanted to get married traditionally. My father extended his hand to me. I held on to his arm and we walked into the church through the main door.
"Here comes the bride". I can hear the voice of the priest. We were walking down the aisle to the altar. I could see George standing beside the priest and looking at me intently with a sweet smile on his lips. When we reached the altar, my dad handed my hand to George.
"Take care of my beloved daughter," he said to George. I could feel his voice cracking. I looked at him one last time. He assured me by nodding and I went to the altar.
"You are looking gorgeous " he whispered into my ear. I blushed. Both I and George were standing face to face before the priest. "Do you, George Jackson, take Lotus Kent as your lawfully wedded wife and be with her in rich and poor, in health or sickness, in happiness or sorrow?" the priest asked George. He looked at me and, with a smile, replied the priest. "Yes, I do."
"Do you, Lotus Kent, take George Jackson as your lawfully wedded husband and be with him in poorer or richer, in health or sickness, in happiness or sorrow?" now the priest asked me. My heart was thumping in my chest crazily. This is it, just 2 words and we will be together.
" Yes, I do" as those words left my mouth, I could hear cheering from the guests from the other side.
"You are now husband and wife. You can kiss your bride." as the priest declared those words, I became nervous. I only kissed George twice and now we have to kiss in front of our parents. He came close to me and removed my veil. He then leans closer and gives a small kiss on my lips.
" I don't want you to be embarrassed in front of everyone. I will devour you tonight," he whispered to me and kissed my cheek. Everyone started clapping and congratulating us. Lilly came to us and hugged me, then she hugged George. Maybe it was my wife's instinct or jealousy that I felt like she hugged him a bit longer and tighter. But maybe it was just my mistake.
"We need to go to your reception venue. I have booked a room there for your first night," said Lilly. I blushed at the mention of the first night. Today I'm going to give my everything to George. He deserves it after waiting for 7 years. We left for the reception venue in George's car. George was sitting between me and Lilly. Suddenly, I felt his hand on my waist. I became stiff. He then traveled from my waist to my b***st. I pushed away his hands because Lilly was sitting beside us and the driver was also in the car. I then concentrated on the road from the window.
