I Still Love You
Chapter 20: The Wedding Surprise
...
Sorry for updating late, as you know I'm on a holiday... but hope you'll like this chap!
And to those of you who asked me to write Sex scenes, higher level of romance or M rated stories, I'm very sorry but I can't. Honestly, if I can, I would write it as long as it's about Musa and Riven. But at the moment I can't write those type of stories because I am ONLY 12 years old! I'm not allowed to write about those stuff at this age... so... very sorry. But I appreciate the reviews about it... and I wish I was older so that I could write it. But in a couple years time, I promise I would write them. But I do take requests so if you want me to write any story about something in particular, then I would. Thanks :)

Musa POV
"Good night mommy and goodnight daddy," Melody whispered, closing her eyes.
My eyes widened, and my jaw dropped. Did she just say... DADDY to call... Riven?!
I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE IT!
I looked over to Riven and he was shell-shocked too! I mean, who wouldn't be astonished by THIS?!
Melody opened her eyes and stared at both of us.
"Can I call you daddy? Umm... if that's okay?" Melody grinned slightly at Riven, and looked at him.
Riven gulped right after that question and I heard his breathing become slow.
I was so shocked coz Melody asked about... about THAT! OMG! OMG! OMG!
I WASN'T EXPECTING IT AT ALL!
My mouth went dry when Riven turned his head to me, as if he was begging me to answer the question for him, since he couldn't answer it and he was desperate.
I took a deep breath and lowered my gaze to Melody, and she was looking at both of us in slight confusion.
I opened my mouth and was about to say something but then I closed it. Heck, I didn't know what to say! And ANYWAY it IS Riven's question! It's not meant for me!
"Uh... uhh... Uhhm..." I stuttered.
"Can I Riven?" Melody turned to Riven again and grinned at him brightly with her adorable smile.
Once again, Riven turned his head to me. Damn it! That jerk's making it hard for me AND himself! I'm too much under pressure right now! I mean, MY daughter asks a man who is my ex, if she can call him as her dad even though he is her dad but you don't want her to know that he is her dad because all of this is a DAMN MESS!
God, that was so confusing! I didn't want Melody to know that Riven is her father and I don't want Riven to know that Melody is his daughter yet, either. But if she calls him as her dad everyone'll think he is ACTUALLY HER DAD and bam! From then on, the secret will be revealed! The only people who know that Melody's dad is Riven is the Winx and Specialists!
But to make this situation less awkward and confusing, I simply nodded at Riven.
"Umm... s-s-sure I g-guess..." Riven said uncertainly, and let out a deep breath afterwards. Wow, I think he actually held his breath ever since Mel asked that question, and to come to think of it, I think I did too!
"Yay! Thanks daddy, and mommy!" Melody smiled cheerfully and hugged us both quickly before turning her body on the bed into a sleeping position.
"Good night sweetie" I whispered with a smile.
"Good night, kid" Riven said with a cute grin as he and I stood up.
"Good nightie!" Mel yawned and closed her eyes. Riven and I left Mel's room and we entered the kitchen. Once we were there, we BOTH sighed so freakin deeply!
Riven leaned on the kitchen counter as I turned on the kettle to make some tea.
"That was... umm... awkward!" Riven said, awkwardly.
"Tell me about it!" I sighed, chuckling a bit, "I didn't expect it and I'm suspecting you didn't either"
"Are you kidding? I would NEVER have thought THAT would happen. I know it's kinda silly of me to think of it as a REALLY big thing, but honestly, for me, it was!" Riven said dramatically and laughed, "I'd never thought she'd call me 'daddy'"
I sighed again and stared at him as he lowered his gaze to the ground like he was thinking about something. Meanwhile, I'm trying to forget what just happened.
"But... don't get used to it. I mean, you aren't really her dad..." I reminded him and put my head down.
"I-I it's fine, I won't" Riven replied, but his voice was so soft and quiet, almost a whisper. I could also hear the hint of sadness and disappointment in it. I slowly looked up to see his head down and his expression... It was so hard to recognize his expression. But when I looked in his eyes, it was definitely sadness.
Why was he sad? Did... did I do something wrong? Wait... is it coz of what I said?!
I think it was. Damn it! I was being too harsh to him. I didn't mean it like that! I just didn't want him to get used to it and I didn't want him to make other people assume immediately that he is Melody's dad. I know I sound selfish, coz Riven actually IS her father, but... I'm honestly not ready for it.
But I felt so damn guilty about it.
"Riven," I started but then I heard the kettle turn off which meant the water has boiled. I very quickly looked at him but his head was still facing down.
I sighed and walked over to the kettle. I took two glass mugs out of the cupboard and took some tea and sugar. I held the kettle carefully with my right hand so that it wouldn't spill and held one of the glass mugs on my left hand. I then stared back at Riven, who hasn't spoken for a few minutes and stayed in that same position he's in. I decided to offer him tea.
"Do you want some- OW!" I suddenly screamed, accidentally spilling the BOILING water on my feet and what's worse is I dropped the glass mug on the table and when it hit it, it cracked to pieces and the sharp shards of glass cut through my skin. IT BURNS LIKE HELL!
"Oh- shit!" I cursed loudly, feeling the pain on my hand AND my feet.
Riven's head instantly shot up and he stared at me in... anger?!
"Crap! Musa!" he yelled in frustration, running towards me.
Ok, I know I'm like nearly 23 years old, but still, I do cry! I mean, two different pain sensations can still make you cry even though your 22, right?!
I sobbed a bit and felt drops of tears running down my cheeks. Riven stood right in front of me and getting some of the pieces of sharp glass away. I slowly looked down to see my hand covered in blood.
"Damn it! Stupid pixie..." I heard Riven hiss under his breath, and it made me very angry.
"Don't you dare call me pixie! It's fairy! Idiot..." I growled but mumbled the last word. I saw him going to the cupboards and looking through it.
"What do you think you're doing?!" I snapped, wiping a tear. I wasn't really crying anymore, but it still hurts.
"Finding bandages or something! Look, do you want me to help you or not?!" he growled.
"Like you care about me!" I scoffed.
"Of course I do! Damn it woman, why do you have to be such a pain in the..." he paused.
"Pain in the what?!" I asked angrily.
"Nothing, never mind... just let me help you!" he muttered.
I sighed and nodded. My cut burns so much so I guess I have no choice. I was also so surprised that he actually cares and still wants to help me even though I'm snapping at him all the freakin time!
I quickly mumbled a spell so that my feet was cured after the boiling water hit it. I wish I had a spell to cure the cut, but I don't think I remember it and that last spell took a lot of energy.
Riven walked towards me again with the bandages in his hands, "Do you... want me to carry you into your room? So it's easier to help you there?"
I thought about it and sighed, nodding reluctantly.
"Fine" I said as he gently lifted me up and carried me into my room. He closed the door.
He carefully placed me on my bed and sat on the edge of the bed next to me.
"You got a deep cut on your wrist and a cut on your palm," he said softly, examining my wrist and palm. I just nodded, trying my best to endure the burning pain. I was also trying not to wince and whimper like a baby.
"Ouch!" I winced when he touched the cut, "I hope I don't need stitching... do I?"
"How am I supposed to know?! I'm not a doctor am I?!" he snapped slightly, looking at me. I glared at him coz of the way he said it.
"Look, I'm sorry. But I don't think you need stitching coz I had a cut very similar a few years ago..." he muttered, lowering his gaze to my cut again.
He then got some bandages and other stuff and started treating it. I was shocked coz he done it so gently. It's like he's trying his best not to hurt me too much. As he treated me more, his body kept on getting closer to mine, and it gave me a tingling feeling.
I watched as he treated my cut. I then shifted my gaze to him. His so-beautiful violet eyes were concentrated on my cut, and his expression was so hard to tell. His touch was so gentle, so careful, and so soft, I liked it. His big hands around mine, and his soft fingers trailing down my skin...
"Ow... uhh..." I whimpered.
"Shh... it's okay. I'm being as gentle as I can" Riven whispered softly, and I could actually see him smile. His eyes lifted up to look into mine. That was when those gorgeous pair of amethysts stayed staring at my eyes, for what seemed like forever.
A soft smile crept upon my face.
"I... I know." I stuttered, and whimpered again. He chuckled and lowered his gaze again, which broke the connection we had with our eyes.
I watched him as he got to his work on my hand again. I stared at his face. He was so... handsome. How was I lucky to have HIM as a boyfriend a few years ago? I mean, he really is SO good-looking! But then again, so am I. Well, that's what people say... I don't really care about my looks so much, well, Stella does... but other than Riven's looks, it's his personality that counts! He's so caring. To me.
Damn it, he actually DOES CARE! Why was I so effin selfish about the whole 'dad' thing?! I'm such a terrible person! Riven is so kind to me, and I'm being so inconsiderate! I feel so pathetic of myself!
Riven actually is kind, I mean, he actually really is! Despite the fact that we argue a lot, he is actually not what I think he's like! And that just lead me to believe that he HAS changed over the past 4 years of being apart from him!
Maybe he has. But I just haven't seen in yet. But I believe it. Maybe I do...
He was being so gentle, and caring... wow, how I wouldn't expect this years ago!
"Riv?" I said quietly.
"Hmm?" he mumbled, not looking up, still concentrated in wrapping the bandage around my arm.
I wanted him to look at me straight in the eyes. I wanted to see those beautiful violet eyes that I'm obsessed with so much.
I gently lifted his chin up with my finger so that his eyes were staring directly into mine.
"I'm... I'm sorry... about what I said... earlier" I apologized, mumbling so quietly that he probably didn't hear it. I sighed and looked down, feeling guilty.
"Hey..." he whispered softly, turning my face up to face him again, "It's okay..."
"No... no it isn't!" I snapped, looking at him again, "I'm so guilty about what I did. I'm sorry... I'm just terrible!"
"No you're not terrible, Muse, you're wonderful. You don't have to say sorry, coz I'm sorry..." Riven said softly.
"Stop saying that I'm wonderful and sorry for what?" I whispered.
"You're more than wonderful Muse... and... I frankly have no idea!" he chuckled, which made me chuckle too.
I looked down at my hand and arm and smiled, "Thanks Riv"
"Sure, sure" he replied.
I jumped up and hugged him, but winced in the process.
"Your hand will obviously still hurt so you'd better get some rest, and sleep. It's very late now..." Riven said.
"Ok Rivie!" I giggled, laying down on my bed and pulling the covers on.
"Wait, what? Rivie?!" he asked, amused.
"Haha, yes, that's one of your new nicknames! Unless you hate it..." I laughed and mumbled.
"No! No! I actually love it!" he grinned softly. I smiled at him and frowned when he walked to the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" I snapped.
"Umm... home? Obviously?" he said like it was obvious.
I sighed in sadness and bit my lip, "Do you... have to?"
Riven looked at me with a confused expression and sighed, "Oh come on Musa! You know I have to! I can't just sleep here with you in your room! Or even your house!"
I thought about it. I think I would actually like it if he slept here with me in my room... but, I just realised that I'm being so crazy. WE ARE FREAKIN NOT TOGETHER! NUH-UH!
Plus, he did break up with me a few years ago which means he is my ex. So... it would TOTALLY be weird if he was here sleeping under the same roof as me!
"Oh... ok" I sighed.
"I'm going home then. I'll see you later then?" he said. I nodded.
"We're going to Jared and Galatea's wedding in a few days, remember?" I reminded him.
He nodded, "Sleep well Muse and get some rest... I hope your cut will heal quickly"
"Thanks Riv." I grinned brightly at him. And then he left.
I snuggled into my covers and let out a deep sigh. Today's been... just... wow!
A few days later...
Its finally the day to Jared and Galatea's wedding! All of us have already bought outfits individually, and we all agreed to meet at the planet Melody. Well, my home planet. It's where the wedding is taking place since Galatea IS the Princess of Melody. I can't wait to see her again!
The theme colours of the royal wedding is silver and gold, and of course white, beautiful colours. But if I had a wedding in the future, my theme colours would be red, magenta and white! Wait a minute, why did I thought about magenta! Oh no, I'm not thinking about Riven again am I? I honestly still hate that jerk but I've been a little more closer to him. And I loved the moment when he treated my cut.
The Winx and Specialists are planning to go there using a portal, and only fairies can make portals so apparently, Riven has to go to the wedding with me since he doesn't have a fairy fiend who can make portals. The Specialists are of course going with the Winx.
I took a warm shower and brushed my teeth. And then I got the dress I bought a few days ago. It was a beautiful bridesmaids dress, and the Winx got similar ones too. Galatea made me and the Winx as her bridesmaids and the Specialists as the groomsmen. I was so excited about this and I can't wait to see Galatea and Jared!
Well, I don't think Riven will be happy to meet the 'creep' as he calls him.
I held the dress in my hands and stared at it. It was a plain strapless gold dress that reached the knees and was dusted with glittery silver sequins and there was a sparkly silver ribbon and bow around the waist part. It looked glamorous... as Stella would say.
The Winx and I have the same dresses, but Bloom, Aisha and Tecna have long sleeves instead of me, Stella and Flora who have strapless ones. We have matching heels to go with it too!
I put the dress on and put my hair up in a beautiful up do, with stands of my navy hair curled and my fringe straightened and tugged to the side. I put on mascara and eyeliner to make my eyes stand out and to finish it all, I applied some ruby red lipstick.
I looked at the mirror one more time and then ran out of the room to peek in Mel's room. Melody and the girl kids wore little silver and gold dresses similar to the bridesmaids dresses and the boy kids wore fancy white suits. Melody wasn't ready yet but she looked adorable!
I then heard the doorbell ring so I walked towards the door and opened it to see.. Riven. And OMG! He looked so effin HANDSOME!
He stood there wearing a white suit (Which is something that I normally wouldn't see him wear!) and his normally spiked up magenta hair was now neatly gelled to the back with some of it to the side like one of those neat hairstyles men have when they are having a special occasion.
I loved it! But still, his spiked up hairstyle that he always has is way better!
I haven't even realised that I was staring at him for a long time and coincidently, he was staring at me too!
I looked at his gorgeous face and his eyes were wide and hi jaw dropped. I decided to tease him a bit.
I reached my hand out and closed his mouth, smirking.
"Whatcha lookin' at, smart guy?" I giggled. It immediately broke him from his trance and I heard him cough.
"Oh... umm... you?" he said uncertainly, looking down like he was embarrassed. Awwh, he's blushing!
Somehow, it made me blush too coz he actually admitted that he was looking at me.
"You look so beautiful, Muse" he finally admitted, staring into my eyes and grinning. I blushed harder.
"You don't look too bad yourself," I smiled, "A-and... thanks"
I heard him chuckle which made me look into his violet eyes. He looked so hot in that suit! I wish he wore it every day! Damn it, what the hell am I thinking? And really, about this jerk?!
"Mommy! I'm ready!" Melody called out and appeared right next to me. I grinned at her and when she looked at Riven, her eyes lit up.
"Daddy!" she shouted, wrapping her small arms around him. Riven laughed and picked her up.
"Hey kid, you look very pretty today" he smiled at her. I looked at Melody and she was wearing that silver and gold dress and some ballerina shoes to match. She had a gold headband on her head with a silver flower and her long magenta hair that reached her knees was down and slightly curled. She did look gorgeous and her face is beautiful. I guess she does have her good looks from Riven and I.
"Thanks! And when are we going?" Melody said.
"Right now" I replied and opened up a portal. I haven't used a portal for a very long time! It's bad coz we might get a rough landing.
And yet we did. Just as I expect!
"Damn it!" I huffed, falling to the ground, okay, it was on the ground but we landed in a bush!
Riven also fell in the bush with Mel in his arms. She looked pretty okay but Riven and I ended up having our outfits and hair slightly messed up!
Riven's tie was nearly undone and my WAS perfect hair was now slightly messy, and so was my dress!
"Yay! We're here! OH! LOOK! Alex!" Melody suddenly shouted, pulling away from Riven and running off somewhere.
"Wait! Mel!" I yelled, but she wasn't in sight anymore.
"Ugh! Stupid portal! Why did you have to make it like that?!" Riven scowled, getting up.
"You're blaming ME?! It's not my fault I haven't used the portal for a long time!" I snapped, standing up too. I then got worried about where Mel is, so I pulled Riven with me and we went to find Mel.
When we found her, she was with the Winx and Specialists. Well, she was with the other kids and was slightly far away from my friends. Luckily the wedding doesn't start until 5 minutes.
"Guys! You're finally here!" Bloom smiled.
"More like Omg, what have you two been doing?!" Stella said, smirking at us. Riven and I gave her a confused expression and it finally hit me when she pointed at us, at our state.
Our clothes was messed up, that includes Riven's tie and collar and my strapless dress that was about to fall off AND our messy hair!
Of course she got the wrong idea!
I was about to complain but then her boyfriend just HAD TO make the situation worse than it is!
"Looks like you've been having fun, did you make out?!" Brandon teased, wiggling his eyebrows. The others chuckled after what he said.
"WHAT?!" I screamed.
"Shut up Brandon!" I heard Riven growl. I was so angry with all of my friends coz they're basically embarrassing us! But I kinda don't blame them much though. I mean, if I saw my friends in mine and Riven's state I would IMMEDIATELY assume they've been kissing, messing with each other's hairs and probably have been making out on the ground making their outfits messy and slightly dirty. So, I guess I understood what they meant.
But WHY would they think Riven and I did?! I would never kiss that jerk again after what he did to me!
"It's not what it looks like!" I snapped at them.
"Are you sure about that?" the Winx and Specialists asked at the same time. Damn them to hell! They're so annoying!
"Yes, we're perfectly sure coz what ACTUALLY happened is we came out of the portal and had a rough landing and we both landed in a bush, okay?!" Riven scowled. I nodded with him.
"Oh really?" Stella smirked, making the others say 'Ooh...' at the same time, AGAIN!
"Leave them alone guys, I think they are right," Flora scolded at the others and Helia nodded.
"Chillax Flo! We're only joking.." Bloom giggled.
"Oh look! The ceremony's about to start! Let's get to the back girls and boys!" Aisha said, pulling Nabu with her. We all had to walk down the aisle in pairs, and the pairing has to be one bridesmaid and one groomsmen, and UNFORTUNATELY for me, I have to go with that JERK!
We all went to the back while some other guests came in and we waited. The room was so beautiful; filled with those gold and silver decorations that sparkled, and the stunning white silk that hung with them.
I heard Riven growl next to me. I decided to ignore it.
I then heard him moan in frustration so I knew I have to do something about it.
"Stop moaning, idiot" I hissed quietly.
"I'm sorry if I don't particularly like weddings, brat" he growled, glaring at me a bit. What in the world is wrong with him?! Like a few days ago, he was soooo kind! But it isn't like I didn't like it. I actually sometimes think that when Riven is angry, he's quite... hot. It's quite cute.
Maybe he is angry coz I called him an idiot! That's so freakin immature!
"It's Jared and Galatea's wedding, so don't ruin it for them" I growled.
"Oh like that will fix this current situation! The fact that the creep is marrying that blonde?!" Riven scoffed.
"I thought you liked Galatea" I smirked at him and nudged his elbow with mine.
"I was only joking about that! I didn't really like her. I was only trying to make you mad" he shrugged innocently.
"You what?!" I hissed.
And that's when the music started! Of course, I'm not letting my current conversation I had with Riven go away. But I guess I'll have to talk to him about it later, since Galatea's my best friend and I don't want to ruin her wedding by arguing with this jerk. I have no idea why I call him jerk, but I guess it's my hobby to call him that!
Melody and the kids were at the front, and they were smiling happily... and cheekily. Oh god, I hope none of them will be naughty! I know that Blake is certainly the king of naughtiness! He's absolutely mischievous unlike his twin sister!
I was partnered with Riven, and the guys were partnered with their wives. All of the Specialists had different hairstyles that was so neat and handsome, and the girls and I had ours curled and some of us had our hair in gorgeous up does.
Riven and I were right at the front of our friends since I'm gonna be behind Galatea and Riven's gonna be behind Jared. Now, I'm so confused about that coz I know Riven doesn't like Jared, at all. But whoever's crazy idea it was to have someone that hates another someone so badly put behind them in their most special day of their life, is insane!
Unfortunately, I HAD TO link arms with Riven. I didn't think it was bad at first, but then when I did, it was terrible! Riven was fussing all the time! He absolutely hates weddings!
I put a smile on my face and slowly walked down the aisle, with Riven. I tightened my grip around his arm slightly to remind him to be sensible. He is so immature, like I said earlier!
Stella and Brandon were behind us followed by flora and Helia and the others were behind them too.
"This is terrible" Riven sighed very quietly, but I could hear the frustration in his voice.
"Be quiet," I hissed silently. I was so relieved when we finally reached the end of the isle coz I had to separate from Riven. We then lined up and Jared came in. He looked so handsome! He actually does!
He wore a white suit with a small white rose and his navy hair that looked the same colour as mine is neat as well. But I gotta say this; Riven looked WAY more handsome than him!
'Lookin good' I mouthed to Jared, who was in front of Riven.
But since I was staring at Jared, Riven thought that was meant for him so he gave me a confused expression while Jared grinned softly at me. And when Riven realised that it wasn't meant for him, an expression of jealousness appeared on his face... I just had to giggle at that!
But then it was MY turn to have the jealous face when Galatea walked in, looking absolutely stunning! And... I could clearly see Riven's eyes widen and his jaw dropped!
Ooh, that jerk! Wait a minute, WHY THE HELL AM I JEALOUS?!
I soon grinned at Galatea when she smiled at me. But I saw her wink at Riven after he stared at her in amazement. Did that mean anything? I hope not. Galatea and Jared are going to be married for crying out loud! And I can't believe Riven winked at her too!
But I've got to admit, Galatea, my best friend, is VERY beautiful!
Her platinum blonde hair reached her ankles, and was curled, her dress was white and a little big, but in a mermaid style. The wedding dress had long sleeves that were lace, and the long skirt had little white and silver musical notes on it, and her heels were white and very high, with lace too.
She had a very long veil that covered her face and went to the back. She had ruby red lipstick and her makeup was perfect!
Jared grinned at his bride-to-be and nodded at the priest.
After Galatea and Jared both said 'I do' to each other, they shared one of the most romantic kisses I've ever seen! It was adorable! And then Jared picked her up bridal style and carried her out, and that's when confetti started falling down and of course, Riven started complaining again.
We then went at the reception and sat down on the chairs to eat. All of the kids had a separate table than us, and fortunately, I sat next to the bride! I missed her so much! Galatea hasn't talked much to me anymore since we were busy with our own lives.
Riven refused to sit next to Jared so he sat next to me.
We then started talking after some individuals made some toasts.
"Galatea, I'm honestly so happy for you, and Jared, congratulations!" I grinned at her and Jared who was sat next to her.
"Awwh, thanks Musa" Galatea smiled, pulling me in for a quick hug.
"Yes, thank you, you're the best friend we could ever have" Jared said, smiling at me. That's when I heard Riven scoff next to me. Oh great, what is his problem?!
"Why can't you just be happy, jerk?" I growled at him.
"Why are you so freakin obsessed in calling me 'jerk'?" he hissed.
"Yeah Riven, be happy for us! Especially when you're basically my brother now!" Jared said teasingly.
My eyes widened after that, "W-what do you mean?"
Riven chuckled and stared at both Galatea and Jared with amusement.
That's when I remembered that I wanted to ask Riven why he winked at Galatea!
"And by the way Riven, I can't believe you winked at Galatea! And Gal, you winked at him too! Why is that?! Is there something going on between you two?!" I questioned.
Galatea giggled and Riven chuckled. I turned to Jared to see if he was jealous but he seemed to be happy... and fine. DAMN IT THIS IS SO CONFUSING! Plus, why the hell did Jared say that Riven is basically his brother?!
"Guys, you're confusing me!" I whined.
"Okay, okay, pixie I'll explain," Riven sighed, "You see, a few days ago, I bumped into Galatea and we talked a little. I never really talked to Galatea before ever! I only lied when I said she was hot"
"Okay?" I said, giving him a confused expression but nodding at him to continue, "FYI, IT'S FAIRY, NOT PIXIE!"
Riven rolled his eyes and looked at me again.
"We talked and I found out that she is my childhood friend! I met her when we were both 5 years old! But then we never saw each other again when we left primary school. I never knew that your friend Galatea is actually my childhood friend Galatea. I guess she's changed a lot. And... well, Jared is apparently kinda my brother coz I was like a brother to Galatea when we were little..." Riven explained.
I couldn't believe what he said but I was relieved that there wasn't anything romantic going on between them. That would seriously make problems!
"I still don't like Jared though, but I'm working on it for my best Gal," Riven laughed, smiling at Galatea.
"This is SO unexpected! I mean... I mean..." I said, trying to let the news sink in.
"But I'm glad that I'll have you as a bro, Riv" Jared smiled at Riven, and I had to laugh at that coz I know Riven absolutely hates his smiles and thinks its irritating. But I'm surprised when he slightly smiled back.
"Ooh! Look! It's time to throw my bouquet!" Galatea grinned excitedly, standing up. The Winx started to stand up too and a few other women started to gather up. I decided to sit down and pass it.
The other women was some of Galatea's close cousins from Melody. I was friends with them too.
"Come on Musa!" Galatea looked down at me, holding her bouquet of White Calla lilies with a mixture of white roses and other small colourful flowers.
"I think I'll pass" I said. Riven stared at me.
"Do it Muse" he whispered, and winked at me. I didn't want to do it coz if you did catch it, you'd get married, well, that's what they say. I don't think I wanna be married yet...
"Come on Musa!" Harmony, Galatea's cousin shouted in excitement. I looked up at a few other cousins and family and then at the Winx.
"I guess I have no choice!" I giggled, standing up. The girls started gathering around as Galatea prepared to throw the bouquet.
I felt a bit nervous doing it coz I could actually FEEL Riven's eyes on me... I wonder why...
I also planned not to catch it so I stood like a metre away from all the other girls, just to avid catching it. Galatea threw the bouquet backwards and it flew in the air. All the girls started jumping and pushing each other to get it.
My heart started beating so fast and my breath got stuck in my throat. I don't even know why I'm feeling nervous... I have no idea. I didn't like it. But I stayed still.
But then, my heart skipped a beat when the bouquet was actually falling TOWARDS ME!
It was like right on top of me, in the air. The girls were still trying to get it. But I just stayed still.
I decided that it was only one chance. And with my good reflexes, I snatched the bouquet in a flash.
The girls gasped and the Winx and the cousins started jumping around in joy, and they kept on congratulating me.
"Gee, umm... thanks" I replied, holding the bouquet uncertainly. I then turned my head to the side to see Riven smiling at me, and he had this look in his eyes... which I couldn't figure out.
"OMG MUSA! You're gonna get married SOON!" Stella screamed.
"That's impossible! I don't even like anybody..." I sighed.
"Nothing's impossible sweetie, but congratulations" Flora smiled sweetly. I smiled back, but I got this weird feeling in my stomach.
I never believed in these kinds of things. I never believed that just coz someone caught the bouquet, they'll be sure to get married very soon.
But I got this feeling... this feeling that I should believe it. Maybe it is true. But I just refuse to believe this stupid thing...
But if I do believe it... who would I get married to?
...
Hey guys, hope you liked it! I'll update soon. And please review!
