Chapter 1 – The Event
(Beka's P.O.V)
Today was Eskren and Kora's wedding. Aniki, Clary and I were the bride's mates of the wedding party. So we all got ready this morning at Clary's. Kora had a beautiful strapless, white dress that made her look like the beautiful Cinderella Princess. Us girls wore a light pink strapless number that went down to our knees. I never usually wore this kind of stuff but since Kora was one of my good friends I decided to make her day and wear it.
The wedding wasn't till two but we had to get everyone ready and that took forever, epically since Aniki had to redo her hair and make-up about ten times. I loved her to death but it was outrageous.
"Beka, can you come here please. I want to talk to you" Kora said with a nervous smile, she was always bad at hiding her emotions with her friends.
"Ya" I smiled as I walked over to her.
She fidgeted with her dress, before she started talking to me. "Do you think I'm making the right decision to marry Eskren?"
"Kora Lynn, do not doubt yourself. You're beautiful, amazing, and a fun women. Why wouldn't he be in love with you? Of course you're making the right decision. You found your lover who will take care of you. The rest of us will never find that. Go and be happy," I said sternly but loving at the same time.
I looked at her face, and saw amusement in her smile.
"What?" I asked kind of annoyed that she wasn't telling me what was on her mind. That made her laugh out loud.
I waited for her to finish laughing before I started turning around to leave. If she was going to be like this, she didn't need to talk to me.
"Beka come back here," She said lovingly, like an older sister would.
"Are you finished laughing at me up and down the wall because I can't and won't ever find a man to spend the rest of my life with" I said, as a couple tears fell down my cheeks, as I realized that no one ever complimented me or liked me for who I was. I never usually cried in front of them, but for once in my life I just opened my self and let it all out.
"Beka Cooper, come here you silly girl" Kora said, as she opened her arms wide open to me.
I walked over to her, and just bawled into her arms. She waited for me to finish crying before she started to talk.
"Beka, you know Rosto loves you to death, but yet you sit there and reject him. Which I don't know why you do that; since you're madly in love with him. Will you tell me why? All he wants to do is love you, you are his world. He said goodbye to Aniki so he can try to win your love." She said, as she wiped my tears from my face.
"I reject him because he acts like I'm just going to be another one of his lovely's and I don't want that. I want a guy that will love me, hold me, kiss me like there is no tomorrow, and be there for me no matter what. No he doesn't love me to death. You're just saying that." I said trying not to listen. I didn't want to get my hopes up and then find out he didn't like me like that.
"Rebeka, sometimes you are so blind. Do you know what Rosto told Eskren, Aniki, and I ?" She asked me.
I nodded my head no, and waited for an answer.
"He told us that he wanted to hold you, kiss you, make love to you, have kids with you, and he wants to marry you because once again as I said he's madly in love with you. He can't get you out of his head, and he asked us if we would have a problem if he were to court you. Now will you listen? Go talk to him about your feelings" She said with a big smile.
I agreed, and walked away to go have the girls check my hair up and make-up.
(Rosto's P.O.V)
I was sitting at Tunstall's house with Eskren and two of his puppy friends. I was his best man for the wedding and we were waiting for the wedding to start.
Kora was having Beka be her Maid of Honor, Clary and Aniki were her bride's mates. It would be an amazing wedding for everyone.
Early this week I talked to Kora, Eskren, and Aniki about how madly in love I was with Beka. Kora told me she was going to talk to Beka about liking me, so all I could do was sit here and hope for the best. I told them about how I wanted to love, cuddle, kiss, make love to, court, marry, and have kids with Beka. That is how much I am in love with her but she keeps rejecting me. They told me to talk to Beka tonight. That was exactly what I was planning to do.
So now it was 12:30 and the wedding started at 2pm. It was a long wait, but it was worth it.
"Ersken, are you nervous right now?" I asked him, to get my mind off Beka for the moment, before I would explode with anticipation to see her.
"Yeah, i'm just really nervous. I can't wait to see her in her gown walking down the aisle to marry me. That will be one memory that I don't want to forget," he said, as he was grinning ear to ear.
I smiled, as I started to think about what Beka would look like, as she also would walk up that aisle. She would be the most beautiful woman up there.
Eskren and I ended up talking back and forth about what he wanted in the future for the next hour.
(Beka's P.O.V)
It was time for the wedding and us ladies, and Rosto was standing behind the church doors. Rosto was going to walk Kora up the aisle and give her away before he became my dance partner for the night. It was so sweet and cute that he was willing to give her away. I started to get nervous and excited at the thought of it.
The whole rest of the time us ladies were getting ready, I kept thinking back to Kora's and my talk. "Could Rosto seriously like me, was he telling the truth? Why would he like a girl like me, I am nothing special of course" I kept thinking to myself.
Every time I turned around to talk to Aniki, Clary and Kora he kept starring at me and smiling. I would blush bright red and smile before I would turn back to the girls and try to ignore the weird stares from him.
I decided at this moment that I would try to talk to Rosto about whether or not he likes me more than friend. It would be awkward but it was driving me crazy not knowing.
The music started to play and the church doors opened. Clary and Aniki were before me and they started walking up the aisle. It was finally my turn to start walking, and Kora/Rosto was following right behind me.
Once I got up at the top of the alter I grinned at Ersken who smiled at me, before he turned and stared lovingly to his finacee who would be his wife in a matter of minutes.
Rosto kissed Kora's cheek before he walked over to his spot next to Eskren at the alter. He smiled at me and I smiled back, before Kora gave me her flowers to hold on to.
~1 hour later~
The wedding was absolutely beautiful. Ersken and Kora were finally married, and it was the cutest thing ever. They kissed each other at the end, before Kora grabbed her flowers from me so she could walk down the aisle arm n arm with her husband.
Next it was Rosto's and my turn to walk down the aisle arm n arm, he smiled as he grabbed my arm. He bent down and whispered into my ear "You look absolutely beautiful, and we need to talk once we get out of here"
My whole face was red as he said that. I responded to him saying "Thanks, and way to ruin a moment. Yeah we do need to talk"
We walked out of the chapel, and into the changing rooms to grab all our stuff before we had to walk down to one of the parks for photos/wedding reception.
As we started leaving Rosto asked Kora "Do you mind if I steal Beka for a few moments?"
"Nope, just make sure you're back in twenty minutes for photos and dancing." She smiled, as they walked further ahead of us.
As we stopped I realized that Rosto and I were still arm n arm. I pulled my arm away and tried not to look at him, so I wouldn't blush and say something stupid.
He gently grabbed my face, so I would look at him.
"Beka, now I know you reject me every time I ask you out, but will you tell me why. I am madly in love with you and I would like to be there for you in every shape, way and form. You know I said goodbye to Aniki for you" He said with all the love in world.
Even though he had my face still in his hands, I looked down at the floor as I said this. "I reject you because I like you and I'm scared. I reject you because you always act like I would just be your lovely and that you don't love me. I'm not beautiful, amazing, or any fun like Kora and Aniki"
"Beka Marie Cooper, please look at me?" he asked with kindness.
I looked up at him shocked.
He leaned in and kissed me, at first I was shocked and just let me lips freeze. After a moment or two I kissed him back, he wrapped my hands around his neck. We kissed for a couple minutes before we both pulled away to breathe.
Once we both caught our breaths, Rosto spoke again. "I like you a lot more than you know. I never thought of you as a lovely, I thought of you as beautiful lady, that I wanted to get to know and spend all my time with, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are too beautiful, amazing, and fun but you are so much more than that also. Of course your not like Aniki and Kora, your better" He said with love, as he was still hugging me.
I started to cry, and he picked up bridal style and sat down with me on his lap. "Why are you crying my beautiful?" He asked with concern and care.
"I'm crying because for once I finally get a dream that I've always wanted. I've liked you since I've met you and I just always thought that you would never like a silly girl like me" I said, as I cried into his nice dress shirt.
He wiped my tears, and kissed every inch of my face. A couple minutes later I stopped crying and a smile was replace.
"What?" he asked with care.
"I'm ready to move on and be more than friends are you?" I asked boldly and out there, which I never hardly did especially when it came to a guy I liked, but there was something about how I felt about Rosto just made me say it.
He agreed with a laugh, as he picked me up bridal style and kissed me, before he ran us back to the wedding.
(Rosto's P.O.V)
Once we arrived, I set Beka down and kissed her before we took a hold of each other's hand. She blushed but still walked with me. We walked over to the wedding party table where Ersken, Kora, and Aniki were sitting. They looked at us and then smiled brightly, as we sat down.
No one said a word, as we rejoined them. We got to eat before Beka and I had to make the speeches. In my speech I talked about how Ersken and Kora met each other and then how we became friends, before I congratulated both of them.
Beka talked about how she met both of them and how she cherishes their friendship before she closed with congratulations also.
So that only went on for a little bit before we all got to dance. I got up and asked Beka to dance with me. She agreed and we made our way out to the dance floor.
She leaned against me the whole time we danced, and this was something I never wanted to forget.
To everyone else it probably looked like I was going to have Beka be my lovely, but to me she was the girl I wanted to marry in the future. In order to do that I had to meet her family and ask their permission. I was willing to do anything for my Beka.
(Beka's P.O.V)
Once the wedding was done, Rosto and I walked home arm n arm. I just smiled because in a matter of hours I got everything I ever dreamt of. We stopped at Rosto's door, so he could go home. I realized then and there that I didn't want to leave him, and have this night be over.
I looked down at the floor as I asked him "Rosto, can you please stay with me tonight. I don't want to be away from you"
I felt my head be lifted again for the third time tonight, when I finally looked him in the eye I saw he was smiling.
"Beka Cooper, I would love to stay with you tonight. I am not going to do anything but stay with you" he clarified.
"Thanks, I'm sorry for being so insecure" I said with a sad smile.
"Honey, you have nothing to be sorry about. If you ever need me, for' anything just ask, I'm your boyfriend now. Don't ever be afraid to ask me anything," He said, as he leaned down and gave me yet another kiss.
I pulled away and took a breath. "Do you want to stay in my room, or yours?"
"Do you mind staying in my room tonight, you can have the bed" he said grinning.
"No problem, thanks. Where are you going to sleep?" I asked out of curiosity.
"On the floor, don't worry about me" he said, as he opened his door to his room.
"No, you will share the bed with me. No boyfriend of mine is going to have to sleep on the hard floor because of me," I said with a silly grin.
He just laughed at me, as we walked in.
I looked around and realized that he didn't have that much stuff. All he had was a drawer with clothes, a bed, and some weapons.
"Oh my god, how in the world do you live with hardly anything?" I asked him with an amused expression.
"I do just fine for a bachelor. I have extra clothes in the top right drawer, grab some clothes and get changed. I'll be right back, I have to go talk to Aniki really quick" I snickered, when I saw her happy expression go too sad.
"I'll only be gone for five to ten minutes," I said, as I gave her a reassuring kiss.
She sighed and turned around to go get ready. I walked out of the room, and ran up Aniki's room. If anything happened between Beka and I, I needed to have the pregnancy charm just in case.
I knocked on her door, and waited for her to open the door when I heard her get out of her bed.
(Beka's P.O.V)
"Oh man, I bet you he's going to get a Pregnancy Charm. He probably knows that I want on him so bad. Oh well, at least he knows to get the charm so I won't get pregnant till I want a kid" I said laughing to myself as I got changed into Rosto's long shirt and a pair of his boxers.
If anything happened tonight, it happened. He proclaimed his love to me tonight and that is all that matters.
I sat on his bed, and waited for him to come back. Every second that he was gone, was torture.
Finally five minutes later, he walked in the door with something in his hand. "I knew it," I told my brain. "What do you got their honey?"
"Um…. I am not planning to have sex with you, but just in case you decide to I ran to get you a pregnancy charm so you won't get pregnant, Please don't be mad at me" he rambled off.
I just sat there and giggled. He looked so cute when he rambled.
"What?" he asked with confusion on his face.
"That's more than fine. You look so cute when you ramble" I said with a big smile.
He understood it, and he started laughing, as he walked over to me.
I grabbed the charm, and put it around my neck.
"Well, you sure look good in my clothes" he said as he bent down and kissed me. I deepened the kiss and it turned into something more.
