Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, if I did I would have every single Pokémon out there.
I grabbed at least ten books, sprawling them across a table and used a childish way to choose which book to read first, "Eenie Menie Miney Mo". My index finger landed on "The Hobbit" by J.r.r Tolkien, and I smiled pleasantly; I had read this book before, and knew that a second time at a reading it wouldn't hurt, right?
I read book after book, my mind suddenly calm and at ease. At one point, Yui, Marlene's granddaughter handed me a cup of coffee because she said I "looked like I needed it".
My dramatic leave, looked… well… too dramatic, come to think of it. But I couldn't sit there knowing The Man I just so happened to be in love with was going to marry my sister. I couldn't let Melanie know that she had this satisfaction over me; she had everything I could have possibly dreamed about, but now Gary too? They both had to notice what they were doing to me; I just hoped they weren't on their way to the reception at this very moment.
From where I was sitting, I heard Yui speak politely in her squeaky voice to a person who needed assistance; "Good afternoon, sir! Can I help you with anything?" It was a man who spoke, but not just any man. It was The Man, who sounded as though he were panting and trying to catch his breath. "Have you seen Leaf anywhere?"
Yui hopped off her chair, grabbed The Man's hand, and brought him to where I was sitting. Sure enough, a sweaty Gary Oak was standing before me with a dazed expression drawn across his divine face. "This Man was looking for you, Leafy."
I smiled thickly at Yui, and thanked her, and waited until she was out of ears-reach to speak up. "Why…Gary… what did you do?" I stuttered.
He dropped to his knees, clutching his chest to catch his breath. "I ran… from the church…t-to this place…for you to ask… m-me w-what I did?" he panted incredulously. "Isn't it obvious!?"
"Keep your voice down, you're in a library," I sighed, rubbing my temples. The headache was suddenly returning, crawling back like a monster in the dark
"I don't care, Leaf!" Gary growled angrily, jumping back up to his feet. The several thirty-something people in the library froze, with their eyes large like a deer about to be hunted. They watched nonchalantly as my face reddened in horror. "I just walked out of my wedding for you, don't you dare tell me to my 'keep my voice down'," he mocked angrily, his jaw tightening as he clenched his fists.
"Why would you do that?" I breathe, trying hard to break the magnetic eye-lock we were having. It was no use; the connection between us was too strong to go against. There was no use to fight back from it, for it would always return at some point.
"Because, Leaf… I told you two weeks ago! It's always been you." He stated, pacing back and forth in front of me. By now, the eyewitnesses were all surrounding us and watched like desperate housewives as Gary began to confess.
"I made the biggest mistake to choose Melanie seven years ago. Hell, four years of marriage with her and I hadn't learned a thing from now… but she's got nothing on you. I should've told you then, but it was no use… it's always been you, from the day I met you, and now, from the day I encountered you at The Café up until this very moment and counting… I wanted us to be together." He took a small breath, "I told Melanie, I told everyone at church, actually. They all understand and if you give me the chance, I bet we can make this work. I want us to make this-"
I couldn't fight the tiger inside me; I pounced onto him, my lips connecting with his instantly. At that very moment, I knew I was finally getting my own chance with a marvelous creation that for once, Melanie wasn't going to get for herself. Pulling away from this breathless kiss, Gary mumbled numbly, "So… can we get married?" His voice sounded so innocent, like a little child. It made me giggle a girlish giggle I never could muster until now.
"We can… but let me just finish this book I was reading."
Gary smirked and let out a laugh, and pulled me into his arms and sat me down onto his lap as I finished my story. Who knew happy ending could happen in real life to?
The End!
