"Wake up , Mary. Wake up. "
"Maryamb , this is the last time . Now I m going to pour cold ice."
"Mommy? " I screamed in the video played in the tv as my mother poured all the ice cubes on my head even before she completed saying whatever she was saying and soon my cries and mom's and dad's laughter erupted in the room. Daddy laughed as he recorded the entire thing by the door frame.
" This shit is funny. Mary . oh My poor stomach." Cheryl laughed holding her stomach, luckily not tripping off the chair.
Aaron , Billy , Robby and Robin , both twin brother and sister along with Roslyn and Chrysanthy laughed looking at the screen as my late mother and father laughed inside the video. All of them started throwing their pop corn on to me. I could not control the smile either formed on my now embarrassed pale face as my five year old self cried out loud inside the video.
I m getting married in a month time to my middle school and high school sweetheart , Ray. He would be here anytime now with the wedding dates his parents have been deciding for so long. Since my parents are long dead, they have taken their place since then. Back then we were just neighbours.
As I was cleaning up my old place , all my and Ray's friend came to lend their hands to the bride to be. And we came across these old embarrassing videos of me in the storeroom.
"Now that five year screaming girl is getting married guys!" Robin shouts and scoots towards me hugging my side. Robin is a big hugger.
"She is going to have a mini her or Ray anytime in the next month." Billy said turning away from the screen. It made me blush hard thinking about it literally. Mini me or Ray won't be a bad idea. I grim internally in my thought.
"Now when will be Stuart back ?" Roslyn whines to which Billy rolls his eyes. I could never tell why he disliked her so much. It is true though Roslyn is a drama queen amongst us.
"Lets replay this again, I like this crying Mary too much. " Robby teases me. I move towards him to snatch the remote from his hand but he throws it to Chrysanthy , I grunt in annoyance and ask Chrysanthy to give me the remote , she shakes her head and hands it to Aaron, her sweetheart and Aaron being the tallest of us all nearly seven feet, stands up knowing I could never get hold of the remote any longer. I m just 5'4".
I pout to which everybody just laughs. Seems like they enjoy messing up with the bride to be. I slump down my shoulder accepting my defeat.
"Now who is annoying my soon to be wife?"
Hearing that I ran to the person , my soon to be husband , standing by the door, hands in his pockets but when he saw me , opened his arms for me to get in, I engulf his torso with my small self. He kissed my head.
"Tell us the date already." Cheryl said excited.
"First , who was annoying my baby?" Ray asks dismissing her. I smirk at them. My knight in shining armour is here.
"All of them were making fun of me, baby." I pout and Ray kisses my pout off to which all awed. I blush and hide my face in his clothed chest.
"Three days from now you will finally be Mrs. Reynolds." Ray says and everybody screams in joy. I just can't believe I will be married in three days. Although everything have been readied before. I already shopped for my dress and it was designed by Stella McCarthy. Reynolds were pretty loaded but I loved my Ray for who he is not for his family name. In the first instances of our relationship, this doubt was very prominent but our love surpassed it.
Just then Stuart entered wearing sky coloured shirt and black coat. He was no longer that nerd boy but a handsome man with muscles lining his shirt perfectly. He also got rid of his spectacles from his school times. Now altogether he was this new guy from our friends group. He changed too much. Many says it because of Roslyn. She is a model after all and her influence got the best in Stuart. But I was a total different case. I still had my spectacles, flat chest which didn't grow one bit even after having sex with Ray numerous times. Robin told me it stimulates your hormones once you start having intercourse , her A cups transformed to C cups but mine still remained A cups. Sometimes I do wonder what did Ray saw in me. Girls like Chrysanthy who was not just only beautiful but belonged from the same class as him. Same goes to Roslyn, Cheryl and Robin.
But with times I got the answer because no one can love him like I do and that just makes me feel so proud of myself.
"Lets go." Ray says playing with a strand of my hair while I remained leaning on his hard chest. Others were busy eating the cupcakes Stuart brought.
"Mother wants you to stay with them these three days." He said. I raise my eye brow at him asking why.
"Brides need not stay alone . Its not good." He quotes his mother. I smile and nod.
We both then stand up to head home bedding farewell to the rest who had no intention of stopping their get together. Stuart accompanied us to the car. Ray got inside the driver's seat.
"Congratulation. In there didn't get to say that." Stuart said opening the passenger door for me.
"Well you must be happy I m going to be your official sister in three days." I smile getting in.
"Indeed. You've no idea." He smiled waving his hand when Ray started the engine and we head off to his parent's house.
