Page 7 of Shattered Love
Avery
The room isfull of people rushing about, and Molly looks like she’s going be sick. She hasn’t stop pacing, typing away at her phone for the last hour, every time the door opens she jumps like she expecting the devil himself to come and get her. She normally so sure of herself I’ve never seen her so jumpy.
“Hey, you okay? It’s your wedding day. You should be relaxing.”
She lets out a deep breath. “It’s just so overwhelming. In a couple of hours, I’m going to be Mr. Darren Carter.”
Grabbing her hand giving her a reassuring squeeze, smiling. “I’ve got a pair of tennis shoes ready.”
Molly actually looks like she considering it making my stomach drop, before she bursts out laughing, the tension leaving her body. The door opens as her sister Sienna walks into the room. She’s beautiful, not as beautiful as Molly. Where Molly is a natural beauty with her dark hair and dark eyes her button nose feature all petite like a fairy, where sienna features are harsher, but she knows she’s pretty, and I’ve got a feeling Sienna and Molly are not the closest. In fact, Sienna seems to be a bitch. She’s smiling like the cat that got the cream.
“Molly, you never told me that Darren’s best man looked like a badass, Greek God. I mean, damn, that man is hot.” she applies red lipstick smacking her lips together before pouting them in the mirror.
Molly and my eyes widen when the girl tries pulling her boobs higher.
I smirk when I realize she’s talking about Dominic. Molly blushes as if she embarrassed by her sister. “Umm, Sienna, that’s Dominic.”
Sienna’s eyes sparkle like she’s just learned the winning lottery numbers. “That’s so hot. I’ll be screaming it later.”
I choke on my champagne that the hotel brought up for us. Did she really just use that line?
Molly’s eyebrow draw in, her hands going to her hips. “No, you won’t, because Dominic is Avery’s husband.”
Sienna snorts, crossing her arms over her chest. “Who’s this Avery? Because I think you’re lying. You can’t tie men like that down.”
I smile sweetly, holding out my hand. “Avery Stone, Dominic’s wife.”
Sienna’s eyes widen. Her eyes rake down my body, scrutinizing every inch of me.
Her slides her eyes to Molly, who seems to be giving her some sort of warning. Sienna rolls her eyes before sauntering off.
“I’m so sorry.”
I wave my hand, fastening the diamond tennis bracelet Dominic gave me for our last wedding anniversary. “It’s fine. Honestly, you should have seen the girls in school. As soon as they realized we were dating, it was like a free for all. I’m fine.”
Molly’s eyes widen in disbelief. “How can you be so calm? If that was Carter, I would have slapped her.”
I laugh. I don’t think Molly would hurt a fly. “It honestly doesn’t bother me. I know Dominic has that look that women want, Now, if she touches him, all bets are off.”
She smirks, taking a step back. “You can be scary when you want, with that creepy smile. Don’t do that again—ever.”
I bite my cheek from laughing when Sienna sways her hips, trying to get Dominic’s attention as she walks ahead of me down the aisle.
His eyes go over her shoulder to me as I start to walk down the aisle. I blow him a kiss and wink at Carter, causing him to laugh.
The music changes and Molly walks down the aisle. Every pair of eyes are on her. She’s the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen. The princess dress suits her petite features perfectly. A smile lights up her whole face, eyes never leaving Carter.
I look over to Dominic who’s already watching me. They say silence can be the loudest words, and I agree, because even though not a single word is spoken between us, the silent words of love find us. We both jump a little as our private world is broken by everyone’s cheers, turning just in time to see Carter dip Molly in a show-stopping kiss as they’re pronounced husband and wife.
Carter picks up Molly, causing everyone to laugh as he races her down the aisle.
“Baby, you look so fucking beautiful.”
I turn toward Dominic. His eyes take me in as if I’m the meal he’s been starving for. I love the navy, mermaid-style dresses Molly picked for us. Mine was perfect for my curvaceous body. By the way he takes me in, I can tell he loves it just as much. He leans down, kissing me quickly with a promise of what’s to come later.
The day is beautiful. Molly’s speech had nearly every guest in tears.
Most of the guests start to go home, leaving only a few of us behind. Molly is dancing with Carter, completely unaware of anyone around them. The looks in their eyes is solely focused on each other with secret whispers passing between them. I grab my phone, capturing the moment.
