I'm worried" Lila said her voice cracking, "what's wrong my love, "I'm scared that you love me more than I do" Lila said already crying making Axel burst out in laughter, "you are laughing" Lila said pouting as she turned her face away from him, "I'm sorry my love, tell me why you think so he said as he hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, "you respected my decision five years ago when I said I wanted to be a virgin till we get married and th.... that's impossible for every man, but you agreed to do it, that's too much Axel Lila said breaking down in tears, " oh my, my wife cries a lot, Axel said as he hugged her, "You would have done same Lila, moreover I knew you were still gonna be mine after everything, I had something to expectantly wait for, " you made me understand the saying 'patience is bitter but it's fruit is sweet, Axel said making Lila laugh, " you just made that up, " no I didn't, I think it was said by Aristotle, "Lila you are worth everything and I don't mind giving up everything for you, Axel said with all seriousness. Their moments was interrupted when Lila's parents walked in on them in the kitchen, "oh c'mon what is wrong with the children of this time, it's just a week why don't you just exercise a little bit of patience, Lila's mum Mrs Maverick said as she pulled Axel hand away from Lila making Mr Maverick laugh, "leave them honey, I visited you the night before our wedding Mr Maverick said with a teasing smile making Mrs Maverick cheek heat, " did you have to embarrass me in front of the children" she said in a small voice. They had dinner after which Axel left because he had to attend to important business. Axel Blackwood was a very rich business man, who didn't know of the "Blackwood" family, they were trending all around the continent, very rich family and it was surprising that the son of the Blackwood family was getting married to a middle class girl, and what was more surprising to Lila was how Axel's parents received her genuinely happy, she always knew wealthy people were rude and all of that, but axel's family made her believe that good people still existed. The next few days were really hectic for them, Lila, her mum, Mrs Blackwood and Lila's best friend Rachel were on their way to the most exquisite fashion designer in town, Lila had already seen the wedding dress, but it needed some few adjustments, so they were going to finally collect it today, but her mum and Axel's mum wouldn't hear it, they wanted to be there for the wedding dress to, in their own words, they didn't want to be left out in anything, so they were currently on their way there. "This wedding is gonna be the talk of the season, Rachel said with a proud smile, "in my opinion I just want a small thing, Lila said making Rachel roll her eyes, " why do people who are privileged to get something beautiful complain about it and how did you end up as my best friend, Rachael said making Lila laugh, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. The car pulled up in the driveway and so did the car that was driving the mothers. "Come over here my lovely girls" Mrs Blackwood said referring to Lila and Racheal, walk with us she said making them smile as they walked into the very beautiful building which the famous fashion designer Aurorae Vitalis owned, immediately they entered they came face to face with Aurorae Vitalis standing there with a beautiful smile, "I was already expecting you all, Mrs Maverick, Mrs Blackwood and my two darlings, you are welcome, Aurorae Vitalis said ushering them inside the lounge, where they were all seated and we're served some snacks, "Lila, come here darling, you too Racheal, she will be needing your help, Aurorae Vitalis said leading both of them into the room where the dress was. The gown was a breathtaking, ethereal creation. The gown featured layers of delicate, hand-beaded tulle that shimmered like the aurora borealis, gradating from soft pastels to iridescent whites. The fitted, mermaid silhouette accentuated the bride's curves, while intricate, swirling patterns that evoked the celestial beauty of the northern lights. A flowing, detachable train that added drama and romance, with a subtle, shimmering effect that would catch the light as the bride moves. "This is beautiful" Racheal said squealing, I would never get over the beauty of this baby she continued with a bright smile. Lila just kept quiet as she wore the gown, she knew she was going to cry if she was going to say anything, she didn't want to be emotional at the moment, Racheal and Aurorae Vitalis saw the appreciation on her face and they were glad she liked, Lila was done wearing the dress and this time it fitted her at the right places, she walked out of the room with Racheal by her side, Mrs Maverick eye's watered on seeing her beautiful daughter dressed up like an angel, "you look beautiful honey" Mrs Maverick said as she hugged Lila, "that boy is so lucky" Mrs Blackwood said making everyone laugh. After they got the wedding dress, they bid farewell to Aurorae Vitalis and left to an eatery nearby. It was night and Lila had just finished taking her bath when she saw an incoming facetime call from Axel, she immediately happily picked it, "hey love" Axel said with a smile, "how was your day Axel, Lila asked lovingly, "it was stressful, those men were all over me and not to talk of how they threatened me to not try anything funny with you, Axel said frowning making Lila laugh, "guess mine wasn't that bad after all, "I'm sorry I didn't ask, how was yours? Axel said apologetically, "it wasn't that bad, at least it was better than yours, Lila said and they both fell into a comfortable silence . "I miss you Axel, Lila said with a small smile, "I miss you too my love, but you do not have to worry, just a little more time and we'd be together for the rest of our lives, " I just hope everything works out well Lila said with a little worry, "where the hell are these down spirits coming from, Axel said jokingly, "anything can happen Axel this is real life, not a movie or some novel we should at least have a little bit of worry Lila said expressing her point by demonstrating with her thumb and index finger and squeezing her face, Axel laughed watching her express her point, "no matter the problem it would never be enough to stop us from living the rest of our lives together as couples, he said with a reassuring smile, they spoke about their future for a while before bidding each other goodnight.
