Love Doesn't Always Come First

By Dreamberry

Last Chapter - Serenity found an enormous rose garden and got a huge surprise.

Chapter 5

                Of all the people she thought she might meet, she found her husband.  "Oh, sorry, I didn't know anyone was here.  I'll leave you alone," she mumbled to Endymion and backed up and started leaving. 

                "Wait, I'm sorry, you don't have to leave unless you want to," he stated in an offhand way.  Serenity desperately wanted someone to talk to so she plopped down beside him in the most graceful way she could think of. 

                "This is the most beautiful place I've ever been to.  I can see why the wedding had so many roses.  Do you come here often?" Serenity asked.

                "Only when I want to think or get away from life.  I hate having to be a prince.  So I hide from it all here," Endymion answered.

                "Endymion, I want to ask you something.  If its too personal, don't answer.  But I want you to know, you can tell me the truth," Serenity's innocent, cerulean eyes bore into Endymion's midnight blue eyes pleadingly.  She paused to make sure he was listening.  She continued, "Do you regret marrying me?  Is this the life you wanted?"  Endymion didn't answer for awhile.  He seemed to be carefully choosing his words. 

                "Its too early to tell if I regret anything but I didn't really plan on getting married.  I'm not sure if I ever wanted to get married.  I couldn't really picture myself staying with the same woman forever.  I never kept any one girlfriend for too long.  They bored me after awhile, they were ditzy.  How about you?"

                Well, its practically every girl's dream to get married.  I always wanted to fall in love, get married, and maybe have kids.  And well, this isn't how I wanted it.  If we had known each other and fallen in love, I would have immediately said yes.  And to make everything worse, I had a boyfriend before us getting married.  But apparently, he didn't seem to mind I got married... I caught him making with one of my 'so-called' friends.  That slut.  And do you what his lame excuse was?... 'Well, our relationship is over anyways.  You're getting married."  She paused.  "Anyways, thanks for listening.  Sorry to bother you.  Bye," she sputtered.  Then she backed away and rushed off.  Endymion just stared at her slowly fading figure and sympathized for her because of all the burdens in life she was carrying.

Yeah!  I'm super sorry that I said that I needed 40 reviews.  It was only three chapters so it only needed 30.  But I am eternally grateful to those who reviewed after 30.  Since everyone reviewed to 40, I'll wait to 50 for the fifth chapter.  Thanks for everything!
