Don't Say Yes
Melissa's POV
I watched quietly as they stood on the church podium, facing the crowd. The priest stood behind them facing the crowd as well, with the holy oil in his hands. Even before the priest could say a word, the crowd was already rejoicing in joy.
"Do you, Margret Stephens, take Sebastian Gideon as your lawfully wedded husband?" he asked, and my heart raced. For some reason, it didn't raise in joy or happiness; it broke, in fact. Tears cloud my eyes, he can't say yes to that, it feels so wrong to watch him say that.
"Yes I do." My purse and phone fell from my hand immediately and people close by turned to look at me. I picked up my phone and raised my head immediately and our eyes met.
He smiled at me and turned back to my mom," Ohhh, those must be tears of joy," Aliana said to me as she wiped them out of my eyes.
"Yes, they are." I whispered, then turned back to him, Sebastian Gideon, the only man that makes my heart flutter.
"I pronounce you husband and wife." Clapping ovations and screams of joy followed up immediately, but I didn't clap, I wasn't happy, I felt my hands trembling.
He drew close to her, sealing their lips into a passionate kiss. He didn't mind the crowd, he kissed her like his life depended on it.
"I'm so happy for you girl, you finally have someone to call a dad after eighteen good years." Aliana said innocently as she hugged me tightly, and I began to sob. She probably would have thought I was being emotional, but now my heart is ripping.
I fell in love with him the very first day my mom walked into the house with him. I was only ten at that time, but for the very first time in my life I felt butterflies in my stomach. She introduced him as her fiancé, and he told me to call him dad from that day. I never did, I called him Sebastian instead.
Growing up, it was just me and my mom, just both of us. I've always craved a father, she knew that, she saw how I looked at other kids with a dad. Then she found Sebastian. She told him she wanted nothing but my happiness.
At first, I thought the feelings would slowly fade away, but no, they never did, they kept growing stronger each day that passed by. I see myself falling more into his charms. Calling him dad felt so wrong in my mouth. He did all the father's duties, taught me my assignment, took me and my mom out on occasions, life seemed so perfect except for the fact that I wanted something far from what a father can offer.
Then one day, I took back an assignment. I did so well, I was so happy, I waited for him to come back. When he did, I ran to him and hugged him. He raised me up, so that I'm straddling him. It felt like the best feeling on earth. With his deep blue eyes, he looked into my brown eyes. " You did well." Then I stole the opportunity. I kissed his lips and he withdrew almost immediately.
He slowly brought me down. "You don't do that darling, it's inappropriate." He said as he kissed my cheeks and forehead instead.
That was my first kiss since I was fifteen.I didn't stop loving him, even when I tried so hard to stop.
"Come here darling." My mom's voice brought me out of my reverie.
I wiped off the tears on my cheeks and rushed into her arms. It's not her fault that I am in love with her husband. "I'm so happy for you two, I'm literally crying right now." I said as I hugged Sebastian briefly and held my mom's hands.
"I know right." She said with a bright smile, then kissed my cheeks.
"Go prepare for the afternoon party, take your friends along," she said, and I nodded then signaled my friends to follow me to the car.
"Girl, on a serious note, though your stepfather is f*****g handsome, no offense though, but he looks like one in his thirties," Jane, one of my friends said as we walked into the car.
"Yes I know," I replied while rolling my eyes.
"I must say your mom is f*****g lucky to have him." I decided not to say a word to them all as the driver drove directly to the party hall. I told mom to have a night party instead, but she's bent on having a good sleep tonight, which party on earth starts by four o'clock. This is so insane.
After an hour or so, we were ready for the party. We went down to the hall almost immediately. One thing is sure, I will drink myself to stupor so I can forget my sorrow and pain. Get as high as possible.
My mom and her husband were already dancing when we walked in. I took two glasses of champagne from the waiter and gulped one glass down immediately and Aliana turned and looked at me.
"What?" I asked while staring at her confused.
"The party has just started. You don't want to get drunk so fast, do you? Look, Sky is here," she said while pointing at Sky. He might be the hottest guy on campus, but I ain't interested.
"That's my choice to make, and yes, Sky, what about him?" I asked, then gulped down the other glass.
"Babes look, he's walking towards us, he's f*****g so hot." She said, and I rolled my eyes as I stared at Sky, walking majestically towards us as though his father owns the entire building, though I won't be surprised if he does.
"Hi Melissa, you look stunning tonight?" he said, and I smiled while muttering, “Thank You."
"Do you mind dancing with me? " He offered and I nodded. I don't want Aliana disturbing my peace with how I missed what other ladies craved so much for.
"I love your eyes, they're so beautiful." He said into my ears as we danced, and his voice felt irritating to me. I tried to control my expression though.
"Thanks," I said and then turned my neck to the side to see Sebastian walking towards the passageway, probably to the restroom.
"I need to use the restroom," I said, and before he could say jack, I was already walking towards the other door that leads to the restroom as well.
Without minding the gender specification on the door, I walked into the male restroom, with my heart beating. I walked towards a particular door, I could see his shoes showing from underneath. Then I pushed the door open, he was returning to me, he turned instantly and
My eyes fell on his p***s.
"Melissa, are you out of your senses?”
