Lotus P. O. V
I am Lotus Kent, elder daughter of the Kent family. My father Steven Kent is a respective army officer of country A. As my father is an army officer so me and my sister Lilly have been brought up with strict rules and regulations. That was never a problem to me. But my sister was rebellious sometimes. Today is my wedding. I'm right now waiting in my dressing room for my sister. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Everyone used to say that I was just a perfect replica of my mother. I have a small oval face with big hazel eyes. My skin was milky white. My hourglass figure is not so bad as I always have to do exercise according to my father's rules.
I'm wearing my mother's wedding dress a simple white gown. Though is had been modified but still I can feel my mom's embrace in it. My waist long brown hairs are braided like a princess with flowers in them. I do not like makeup so I have just put on a very light make up as it is my wedding. When I was lost in my thoughts Lilly came inside my room.
"Sis you are looking great. I can bet that George can't take his eyes of you today." she said while looking at the mirror. I couldn’t help but blushed crimson red.
George is my childhood sweetheart. We were in school together. After high school he left to join the army and I continued my study in architecture. I waited for him and he came back to me after achieving his goal. 2 months ago he proposed to me and now we are getting married. He really loves me a lot.
"Where are you lost girl." said Miranda. She's my step mother and Lilly's mother. Yes we are step sisters. But they never treat me like what people says or reads about step mother in the stories. She's such a sweet lady. And Lilly is more than a sister to me. She's my best friend.
I stood up and hugged Miranda. She hugged me back.
"You are looking beautiful dear your father will be so happy to you." said Miranda.
"Someone is missing me?" said my father from the door step. We all laughed together. Dad came near me and took my face between his hands.
"You are looking just like your mother, Lotus. You're a perfect daughter. I'm so proud of you." he told with moist eyes. My father is a tough man this is the first time I saw tears in his eyes. I hugged him tighter.
"Love you dad." I said to him.
"Don't make my girl cry Steven. Her makeup will be spoiled." Miranda scolded dad. All 4 of us burst into laughter.
I am the happiest girl of the world. I have a loving family. And today I'm going to get married to my love. Life can't be more perfect. "Let's go it's time." said my sister. We all went out of the room. We got into the car which took us to the church. As me and George, both wanted to be married in a traditional way. My father extended his hand to me. I hold on to his arm and we walked into the church through the main door.
"Here comes the bride" I can hear the voice of priest. We were walking down the aisle to the alter. I could see George was standing beside the priest and looking at me intently with a sweet smile on his lips.
When we reached to alter, my dad handed my hand to George.
"Take care of my beloved daughter." he said to George. I could feel his voice was cracking. I looked at him one last time. He assured me by nodding and I got on the alter.
You are looking gorgeous " he whispered into my ear. I blushed.
Both me and George were standing face to face before the priest.
"Do you George Jackson take Lotus Kent as your lawfully wedded wife and to be with her in rich and poor, in health or sick, in happiness or sorrow?" the priest asked George. He looked at me and with a smile replied the priest.
"Yes I Do."
"Do you Lotus Kent take George Jackson as your lawfully wedded husband and to be with him in poorer or richer, in health or sickness, in happiness or sorrow?" now the priest asked me. My heart was thumping in my chest crazily. This is it, just 2 words and we will be together.
"Yes I do" as those words left my mouth I could hear cheering from the guest from other side.
"You are now husband and wife. You can kiss your bride." as the priest declared those words I became nervous. I only kissed George twice and now we have to kiss in front of our parents. He came close to me and removed my veil. He then lean closer and give a small kiss on my lips.
" I don't want you to be embarrassed in front of everyone. I will devour you tonight." he whispered to me and gave a kiss on my cheek.
Everyone started clapping and congratulating us. Lilly came to us and hugged me then she hugged George. Maybe it was my wife instinct or jealousy that I felt like she hugged him a bit longer and tighter. But may be it's just my mistake.
"We need to go to your reception venue. I have booked a room there for your first night." said Lilly. I blushed on the mention of first night. Today I'm going to give my everything to George. He deserves it after waiting for 7 years. We left for the reception venue in George's car. George was sitting between me and Lilly. Suddenly I felt his hand on my waist. I became stiff. He then traveled from my waist to my b***st. I pushed away his hands because there was Lilly sitting beside us and the driver in the car. I then concentrated on the road from the window.
