Staring at her, she had her wide brim hat covering her forehead, and her eyes slightly her body hugged by a black long sleeve gown, her hands entwined before her, with a fancy silver purse hanging at the tip of her fingers.
If she weren’t so easy to spot in the crowd I wouldn’t have known, followed by the trembling feeling of my palm just spotting the oddness in the crowd, my heart taking a different beating pace, damn it felt like a century not seeing ,ike a huge present on a Christmas morning,
“fuck” I muttered as she removes her cap, arching a slightly smirk at me.
The hall becomes as blur as it looked, as my gaze fell on the nicks dresssed woman smiling at me now. She takes a step forward, causing a sudden thud, which sends me feets back, faxed I gulp the pool of saliva threatening to escape my loose lips.
Get yourself martins!
Straitening my suit, like a man should I clear my throat hitting my chest slightly, it should man up too, duck!, “ hi” she whispered, I hadn’t noticed how close she was till I felt the minty feeling of her breath, “ hello” I said in the dry tune I was sure I shouldn’t
“ nessa” she said in her whiper, her brown eyes held mine gently as she funded her cap in her hands, obviously nervous, just two days apart it felt like high school again, “ she’s, doing… fuck she’s fine” I stuttered, pressing my thumb on my forehead as I tried unraveling the weird thought pulling up in my mind
It would be wrong if I pull her in for a hug right?
“ oh ok… tha”
“ hey”
Nessa interrupts are she clears her throat, making her presence known, she was still dressed in her wedding gown, glittering under the chandelier, which screams, I fuckim cost money bitch!
Yea right
“ nessa… you look beautiful “ Sinclair whispers loud enough for nessa and i to hear, “ always” nessa replies, turning to me this time, “ hey bestie, thanks” she said pulling me in for a hug, “ unlike done people you actually made effort” she said, “ fuck nessa, Sinclair was a part of this” I said ripping her slothy hug off my body before I die of suffocation.
“ don’t cover up for her martins, it’s cool you love her, not to back her ass up…” the environment becomes tense way too quickly, as Sinclair shifted uncomfortably, guilt settling on her face as she tortured her cap between her firm fingers.
“ let’s discuss this thing at home, over a dinner cooker by me” I said wearing a sarcastic smile, wide enough to cheer them up, “ yes” Sinclair said almost immediately, o swear there were demerit needs on her forehead, she’s finding the guilt too hard to digest, same with her pride
“ there’s no home for me here, I would be leaving my flight is booked too” she said to me not Sinclair, making both of us gasp at the sudden change of reaction, “ and were do you think you are traveling too” Sinclair asked, authoritative this time, making me pull her closer this time on impulse, nessa is like a loose wire, she had been through slot .
“ hey, I would miss you though “ she said, cleaning the water, almost ruining her perfect makeup,” healing doesn’t happen in a day, take your time” I said hugging her this time, it takes a brave heart to move from the spot she had decided to flee from.
“ nessa” Sinclair whispered, as tears provoked her eyes this time, nessa arched a brow at her, her flair turning to a painful stare, “ you were late mom, I needed you” caught short in her own speech nessa walks back
With Sinclair following her track, “ Sinclair sincliar “
Now everyone had their eyes on us, the main deal if I must say, “ nessa, I am sorry” Sinclair said out loud this time making everyone including nessa, she had never been this open, not even to me,
“ I am sorry I came late to your wedding, I am sorry I didn’t show up like a mother should when her daughter isn’t happy, I am sorry I wasn’t there for you, I am sorry, for making you feel rejected I wasn’t happy, I…”
The emotional moment got everyone raising their phone up to capture the rest and epic scene, “ I am sorry” she whispered, fuck I haven’t seen her this sad in like ever, “ please I was to weak to stand up to you, too weak to tell you how weak I was “
“ when I saw how comfy you were with martins it gave me the courage to talk to you, but each day I decide to give it a try I fear you wouldn’t understand me, vanessa please I am sorry I will…”
Choked up by her own tears I walk up to her, pulling her in for a hug, “ nessa please” I said at nessa this time, she hasn’t turned, but I am so damn sure she’s crying as well, “ nessa” I replied as Sinclair sobbed vigorously on my clothes,
She’s down as I tried holing her up by a firm hug.
Nessa doesn’t say anything neither does she move an inche, I don’t know who to hold now, “ nessa” I called out again, but this time was replied with a loud sniff as she rare a step forward, walking out of the hall, the paparazzi had her face on their cameras now as they rushed her.
All waiting for a reaction, but just a flick of my finger the guards had surrounded her, hmm power feels good, the wailing noises of a deranged mother pulls my attention, she had never cried this hard, never…
A flick of my finger, mega was beside me, confused and amused, I knew she had a lot to ask, but neither Sinclair and I knew nessa had other motives outside this, “ let’s go home “ I said, pulling her in, “ do you need a ride” I said she stares at me, with her teary eyes, more pooling down her eyes.
Fuck I literally thought everything would be just fine, how stupid could I be, holding her hands, we went through the back door, far from crowded as John helped with the vehicle, and also driving us home too.
Another phase of life totally different from what I expected
