“Micah! Wait, let’s talk,” Alecor persistently followed him but he didn’t stop,
“Micah please listen to me, just once,” she shouted. Micah’s footsteps slowed down at her voice, his lips parted and he uttered.
“What? What are you going to tell me?” Micah replied with a deep hoarse voice.
Alecor walked quickly towards him and stood in front of him, Micah looked down avoiding her eyes.
“Micah don’t be like this, please look at me, Just once,” Alecor touched his chin slightly mad and lifted his face, she looked into his deep dark eyes with affection, her fingers lightly stroking his cheek on which his eyelashes trembled.
Her long slender fingers traced down his neck and finally stopping at his chest, she pressed her palm against his beating heart and whispered.
“Micah, I am back… I am back so let’s start again from where we left.” She drew nearer to him, their faces just a few inches away from each other.
“Gasp!” Eryna missed a step when she saw what was happening before her eyes, the moonlight gently fell on the two making it look like a romantic scene but Eryna’s heart pricked for some reason, she slowly held her chest and stroked it while watching them draw nearer to each other.
Micah flat Alecor’s warm breath against his lips, her eyes were slightly closed showing her long eyelashes. Her perfect and flawless features could melt down any man and Micah’s was no exception.
“What is he doing? And who is that woman,” Eryna had questions and she peeked back at them, Alecor was drawing nearer to him?
“Don’t do it-don’t do it, turn around,” Eryna chanted while seeing them stand so intimately. Her heart was beating harshly making her uncomfortable.
But was it his hatred or the love for someone else that made him pull away?
“Micah?” She muttered with a seductive voice.
“We didn’t leave...it was you who left, you alone. I was always there but you were the one who decided to walk away...Even if you are back now, the Micah you left is no more, there is no more we, it’s just you...it was always just you,” Micah muttered, Eryna couldn’t hear anything but she felt relieved that Micah didn’t join the kiss. Eryna breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw Micah walk away, He pulled out his car keys and unlocked the car parked a few feet away.
“Micah! Stop, we can talk this out,” Alecor ran after him, but Micah had already gotten into his car, Alecor kept on knocking on the window but Micah had decided to leave. But she was not someone who would give up easily, she too sat in her car and drove after him leaving Eryna in a daze.
“Who is she? And WHY IS SHE FOLLOWING MICAH?” Eryna ground her teeth and forgot all about her secret mission and ran out of the mansion’s gate where her car was parked, even though her abdominal pain had increased due to overworking herself she didn’t take it that seriously and drove behind them, for a long time Eryna had no idea where she was headed to but finally she saw Micah’s car but there was no sign of Alecor’s car. Eryna felt relieved and parked beside Micha’s car and got off. She found herself in front of a club.
“Gosh! Why is he here?” Eryna walked up the stairs and looked at the entrance where two guards with ripe muscles stood with stoic expressions. Eryna tried to slip in but was stopped.
“What business do you have here,” he asked with a sharp voice.
“Hah! What else, I am here to party,” Eryna smiles widely.
He scanned her from head to toe and then replied. “ beggars are not allowed here,” he announced, Eryna looked at herself and she looked like a beggar. “Please let me in! I have to catch my husband, I think he is cheating on me,” Eryna wined.
“If I was your husband I would have cheated too,” The other guard who looked rude replied.
“You! How rude of you!” Eryna shouted, “ do you know how hurtful those words can be?” The guard looked away as if she was a very insignificant object. Eryna stopped her feet and walked back to the car and stood beside it for a long time before her eyes paused at a clothing shop.
“Gentlemen, could you please make way?” Eryna had completely transformed, she wore a long blood-red dress accompanied by black high heels, her hair was let down roughly because there was no time to dress her hair, she had applied a dark shade of lipstick and a whole lot of eyeliner and mascara. And for some reason, the guards didn’t recognize her, and they allowed her to go inside. It was loud and flashy inside the club, and Eryna felt as if her ears would fall off because of the loud music. She looked around intently and just across the bar sat a disheveled Micah gulping down liquor.
“This guy! He had no respect for his liver at all,” Eryna stomped her feet and walked towards him, but her anger flushed away when she saw his sadness-filled eyes, he had already lost his sense. Eryna patted his shoulder.
“Micah! Hey, get up, let’s get out of here,” Eryna pulled away from the glass from his hand.
“No! Give it back.” he tried to reach out but was too drunk to do anything properly. “Who are you? And why are you taking my things away?” Micah muttered angrily.
“Sigh! Come on!” Eryna dragged him by his arm and pulled him out of his chair. He reluctantly followed her out.
“Where are you taking me?” He spoke with a frowning face.
“To hell!!” Eryna dragged him into the car and seated him in the side seat, she fastened his belt before sitting in the driver’s seat.
“Let me drive, a guy must take good care of a woman,” Mocha muttered something.
“Yes! We will be safe Once a drunk head like you is driving,” Eryna replied sarcastically and drove off. Eryna was focused on the road when she heard a loud grumble from Micah’s stomach that made her slow down a bit.
“Did you not eat?” Eryna asked.
“Nope! I am not hungry(grumble)”
“Hm...I see you are not hungry, okay fine, I will eat something delicious on my own,”
“No! Don’t eat with Ayden!” Micah held her arm and stopped her.
“Let go of my hand!” Eryna struggled, when she was helpless she stopped the car beside the road and looked at Micah who had a silly expression on his face.
“You won’t let me drive will you?” She asked.
“No! I won’t,” he replied.
“Okay it’s up to you, you rather let me take you to eat something good, or let’s just sit at the roadside and eat something unhygienic,” Eryna asked.
“Yes!” He chuckled like a baby.
“He has lost it completely,” Eryna clicks her tongue and pulled her hand out of his grasp. She opened up the door for him and asked him to get out and he obediently followed,
Eryna walked him to a stall nearby and made him sit in the plastic chairs that were most probably never cleaned up. “What do you want to eat?” Eryna asked.
“Remember you said to me that you will let me cry on your lap when I am sad?” Micha suddenly spoke up in a serious tone,
“Yes!” Eryna replied.
“Is it still valid?” He asked with puppy eyes.
“Hm...yes,”
Micah got up and dragged his chair closer to Eryna’s, he pulled her closer to himself and then slowly placed his head on her thigh, and a drop of tear came out of his eye and moved down his cheek and soaked into Eryna’s dress.
“She is back! First, she left me and now she is back again, I don’t know what to do,” Micah’s voice was getting smaller and smaller each moment.
“Who is back?” Eryna’s asked.
“Alecor! The girl who left me on our wedding day,” Micah’s tears had made their way out, Eryna felt her heart squeeze and the pain in his eyes was felt by her, she knew the feeling of being left behind, and she knew he was in pain.
For a long time he held onto her and cried out, Eryna stoked his hair and comforted him with her presence, and then suddenly Micah lifted his head.
“What is wrong?” Eryna asked.
“Fifteen minutes, they are over,” he replied.
Eryna chuckled lightly and sat back, “ let’s eat something now,” Eryna suggested.
“No! Let’s go home, it’s not safe for girls to be out this late at night,” he was still drunk but his way of thinking didn’t change. Eryna agreed and they got up but they were suddenly stopped by a group of men with tattoos all over their bodies.
“What do you want?” Eryna shielded Micah and asked,
“We want you to come with us,” the leader replied.
“Why?”
“Because we want a pretty girl like you in our group!” He replied.
“No! Don’t take away my wife! She is mine!” Micha got possessive and hugged Eryna tightly, “huh? This feels different…” he muttered under his breath.
“Pfft! A beauty like her married a wimp like you? Do you think I am blind?”
“She is my wife,” Micha protested like a baby.
“Prove it!” He asked.
“What do you want me to do! Bring you our marriage certificate?” Eryna asked sarcastically.
“No, just do something simple—like a Kiss,”
“Stop talking nonsense and get out of my way,” Eryna spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
“Didn’t you hear her, Get out of her way,” Micah added.
“Told you a girl like her would never choose a wimp like him, she deserves someone like me,” the tattooed guy muttered.
“Who said she can’t marry me? She walked the aisle for me, while holding a bouquet, and then she vowed to stay by my side forever, and then we…” Micah stopped and frowned a bit, “ he is right, we are not husband and wife because we haven’t sealed our marriage yet!” Micah spoke in a drunk voice.
“What do you mean by that,” Eryna asked.
“I mean!” Micah held Eryna’s waist tightly and slowly moved his fingers back to her neck and pulled her closer to himself.
“When they said ‘You May Kiss The Bride,’ I didn’t kiss my bride so my marriage isn’t sealed yet, let me seal it now.” Micah finished his words and before Eryna could respond to him, he landed his warm lips on her soft ones, his eyes were tightly closed and his grip around Eryna was unbreakable…
Their marriage had been officially sealed.
