MARRYING AN ARROGANT PRINCE , MY DREAM . HELL NO !

CHAPTER 7

CATHERINE :

I opened my eyes and looked to my side but Edward was not there. He normally never leaves without informing me and wishing me a good morning. Then I remembered that it was my wedding today and Edward is not in the room with me. He slept in another room as it is tradition that the bride and groom should not see each other before the wedding.

Then I remembered what happened that next day after I told him everything about my past. I didn't see my father anywhere. I got to know from Stephen that Edward fought my father for treating me like that and it took Zach's intervention to stop him. He then got my father deported from the country. I'm happy that he is supporting me. Edward said that he felt bad as he is the reason my father is here. He thought that I will be happy to have my father here along with my friends and brought them here as a surprise to me. Thinking all this and the time I spent with Edward I thought that I could see myself falling in love with him. He tries to spend his time with me and we usually have our breakfast in the morning and then dinner at night together. No matter how much work he has he always tries to spend those two meals with me. I then remembered that it's my wedding today and shot out of bed in panic and heard someone laughing. I turned around and saw Emily, Ariella and Julie.

"I thought of waking you up but Ariella said that you need your beauty sleep. "

Emily said and disappeared into the bathroom. I'm really glad that Emily, Trevor and Danny are now talking to me. The day after my dad left I finally had some time to talk to them between my lessons with Julie about how to behave with people as I'm now a princess. The way I behave represents not only me but the whole country. So I have to be cautious about what I say and what I do. Those lessons were exhausting.

When I met with them that day they were angry as I didn't inform them when I left the country with Edward. I explained to them about how I met Edward and about what happened in Vegas and how Edward got me here and that I couldn't inform them as Edward had my mobile with him at that time. They were really angry at Edward for doing that to me. And when they met Edward that day, Emily slapped him a few times not caring that she is hitting a prince. Danny and Trevor also hit him a few times before I pulled them off him. Edward didn't get angry at them for hitting him saying that he deserves it for what he did with me. I smiled to myself thinking about him. I can admit to myself that I'm attracted to him. He can be quite charming when he is not being his arrogant self. Emily pinched me bringing me back from my thoughts. She grinned at me.

"Thinking about your prince?"

I blushed but didn't reply. I looked at Ariella and Julie and they both smiled at me. I'm a nervous wreck. I never thought I would get married before I even finished college. Emily emerged from the bathroom after a while and dragged me in.

"Here get in."

She pushed me into the tub and left the room.

"Take your own time, princess."

She giggled and left the room locking it. I spent nearly an hour not getting out thinking of Edward. I blushed thinking about him. I can't deny that started to have feelings for him anymore. I finished my bath and stepped out wrapping a towel and opened the bathroom door. There are so many people there along with Emily, Ariella and Julie. Emily gave me a bathrobe and dragged me to sit in front of the mirror. Someone started doing my makeup and another one started on my hair. They are done after three agonizing hours. After they left Emily and Ari helped me into my dress. I was not allowed to look before they finished. I looked at myself in the mirror finally. I couldn't believe that the girl in the mirror is me. I'm standing in front of the mirror in awe. I saw Julie standing with Emily and Ari behind me in the mirror. She got a necklace and handed it to me with tears in her eyes.

"This was something I received from my mother in law when I was marrying Henry. It's family tradition to wear it to the wedding."

"It matches perfectly with the dress."

Emily exclaimed and helped me in wearing it.

"I can't believe Edward is getting married today. And I'm getting another daughter."

Julie is about to say something else but there is a knock on the door and she left saying that it's time to go. I'm nervous that much I can tell. I don't know how I'm going to marry Edward or how I'm going to rule a freaking country along with him. I really want to run away right now. But I never run away from my problems. Before I can think anymore Julie came back and said that we will be late if we don't get going now. I got into the royal carriage along with Emily, Ari and Julie. I'm a nervous wreck. I kept fiddling with my hands. There are so many people on the streets on the way to the church. Soon we passed along the streets of the city and reached a beautiful old church.

"This church is here from centuries. The royal marriages always happen here."

Julie informed me and got down along with Emily and Ari as our carriage came to a halt and the door opened. Trevor stood outside with Danny and they helped me out. I thought of my dad now as I used to dream that he will change by the time I marry and he will walk me down the aisle. But he is not here now and I'm going to be alone. I went inside the church and Julie, Trevor and Danny went inside leaving me with Ari and Emily. We were exactly on time. The music started and the doors opened. Ari started walking followed by Emily. I started getting nervous to go inside but then the bridal music started and I entered inside taking a deep breath. There were so many people inside who were staring at me. I tried my best to ignore them. I looked at Trevor and Danny along with their parents in the front row with Emily's parents. All of their mothers are crying. I never understood why people cry in weddings. Then I looked past everyone and saw Edward. The one I'm going to marry and my breath caught in my throat. He is looking handsome in the royal wedding attire and he is smiling at me. Just like that all my nerves left and I felt a smile creeping on my face looking at him.

EDWARD :

I'm waiting for Cat to enter the church. I'm nervous. I keep getting this feeling that she will run away. Then I remember that she never runs away from her problems. But finally the music started and my sister entered through the doors followed by Emily and I looked past her. I'm waiting for a particular someone not anyone else. And then after the bridesmaids were here the music changed to the bridal march and she entered alone. And that's it. That's when I realized my feelings for her. All these days living with her and observing her, the way she behaves with everyone and her personality, all these things made me like her more than anything. I'm not able to tell her how I feel and that I really like her. All these feelings had their effects now. I wanted to run over to her and kiss her as hard as I can showing her how much I really like her. Her easygoing nature, her innocence, her laugh, her stubbornness, her way of talking, everything, i like everything about her. The first time I realized I'm having feelings for her was when I kissed her trying to shut her up. She was the first person to hit me and talk back to me other than my sister. No one shouts at me like her. I smiled thinking of that time when she hit me for kissing her. I saw her looking at me. I observed her. She was wearing a white dress which fit her perfectly. It has a heart shaped neckline and the material clung to her body and then from the waist down it was flowing with a wave like texture. And to top it all she was wearing the necklace which mom wore for her marriage. The veil was covering her face so I couldn't see her face properly but I can tell that she is nervous because of everyone staring at her. She looked like an angel that just descended from heaven. I smiled at her and she smiled back and blushed looking at me. Then I saw her gathering her courage and visibly straighten and she started walking down the aisle confidently. I helped her up the steps and held her hand after she reached me. I can tell that she was nervous. She held onto my hand tight and the priest started saying something. I didn't listen to him but continued staring at her. I heard him when I have to say 'I do' and then I heard him say ' you may kiss the bride '. I turned her towards me and held her close and kissed her showing all the feelings I have for her and she kissed me back. I'm surprised as this is the first time she is kissing me without hitting me. After a while we pulled apart and everyone cheered for us. I led her out and the people started throwing flowers at us. We went to the palace in the limo waiting outside and after reaching there we went inside and I led her to the ball room where the reception is being held. We mingled with the people inside and had dinner. After that we cut the wedding cake and then I led her to the dance floor. The music started and I took her in my arms and led her to the middle of the dance floor and started dancing with her. Soon everyone joined us and after the music ended we broke apart. I danced with Emily, my sister, my mother. Cat danced with my dad, Trevor and Danny. I'm waiting for this to be over so that we can be on the way to our honeymoon. She is going to love it. Finally near midnight we excused ourselves and went inside the palace. We went our separate ways to change out of our wedding dresses. I changed into some normal clothes and waited for her near her room. She was back in a while. We got into the limo and reached the airport in an hour. We boarded the jet and Cat soon fell asleep as she is tired and I joined her in sleep.
