Asking For Too Much
(This is based on a song by Avril Lavigne – "Things I'll Never Say.")
I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
Sunny put on the last of her mascara and closed the tube. She had to be a perfectionist this once in her life since she was going to a very special event: a wedding. It was her cousin Dana's wedding. For some strange reason, Otto acted as if he wanted to go, so she invited him; her cousin didn't mind.
She drove up in Otto's driveway, looking in the mirror, checking twice for any flaws. It was her first time dressing up in front of him, and she wanted to look her best. She was wearing a white spaghetti-strapped dress with small, iridescent sequins. Her necklace was silver with a little dolphin on it. She got out of her black VW Jetta, and walked up to his house.
She rang the doorbell a couple of times until she heard footsteps approaching her from inside the house. The door opened, and there stood Otto, in khakis and a blue rugby shirt. Sunny looked at him and approved, "Nice. Very nice."
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searchin' the words inside my head
He looked her up and down too. "Same to you. Are you sure your not the one getting married?" he joked. He wrapped his arms around her waist, her arms around his neck. He loved her so much, everything about her was beautiful. He kissed her lightly and said, "Let's go."
They arrived at the wedding abouy ten minutes early, early enough to get a seat in the fifth row of the church. They sat down beside an old guy who smelled of fresh cut grass. It was evidently the groom's uncle, who cut grass for a living.
I'm feelin' nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it,
You're worth it, yeah
Sunny and Otto held hands and she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Isn't this beautiful?"
Otto nodded, "Yeah, it might look like our future." It could indeed be their future, since this was the summer Sunny graduated; Otto graduated the year before.
"Might," Sunny agreed, "at least I hope so." Sunny blushed, just realizing what she had said. Was that true?
The wedding began, with music on the organ giving the people in the wedding their cue to walk in. The flower girls, bridesmaids, and best men all walked in like they were supposed to. Then everyone rose, awaiting the bride's arrival. Then, the bride slowly walked in, arms locked with her father. Sunny's eyes glistened with tears as she watched her cousin, Dana, walk down the isle to her awaiting groom, who also had tears in his eyes. Then the wedding officially began.
If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
The bride and groom exchanged vows and rings. After everything a wedding should have had been done, the six important words were said: "You may now kiss the bride." Dana's husband kissed her and they both smiled. "I now pronounce you, Mister and Misses Michael William Hughes," announced the preacher.
If I could see what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down...on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishin' my life away...with these things I'll never say
The bride and groom walked out and went to their limo. Everyone holding a white dove let the dove go, and bid adieu to the newlyweds as the sped down the street in the limo. Otto and Sunny couldn't stay for the reception, so they dropped off their gift by the reception hall and went on their way.
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you what's on my mind
If it ain't comin' out
We're not goin' anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
"So, how did you like it?" Sunny asked Otto.
"It was nice."
"Hmm..." she sighed.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just thinking."
Otto wondered what she was thinking. He wished he could read her mind sometime. He began to think about life married to Sunny. They had been going out for a couple of years now, and he loved her more than anything. He wanted to ask her the big question, but first he would have to have her parent's consent.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we were married? Then we wouldn't have to sneak to each other's house at night just to have someone to talk to. We'd be with each other all the time," Otto asked her.
She thought a minute. "Yeah, that would be nice. We have been going out for almost two years now."
Sunny drove up into his driveway. She leaned over and gave him a kiss. "Goodnight. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay." Otto got out and waved goodbye. Now was the time to talk to Raymundo about how he felt about Sunny.
'Cause I'm feelin' nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it, yeah
