Rebel Love
Epilogue
By Kitten Starr
Leena stood beside Bit as they looked up at they stars. The sky looked the same with its twinkling stars as it did the night they confessed their love for each other. Leena crooked her head to one side so that it nestled onto Bit's shoulder. Bit's head fell to rest upon Leena's pillow of red. As their hands intertwined, a star shot across the velvet of black. Leena squeezed Bit's hand and he smiled.
"Tonight is our third anniversary, Bit," said Leena.
Bit lifted his head and nodded, "I could never forget this night."
They gazed out at the sky a little while longer as the moon shown brightly on the lake below the bridge they were on. Bit finally led Leena aside to a small restaurant that was dimly lit. The smell of spaghetti and garlic was strong in the air. It was a tantalizing smell, even for Leena. Bit continued to lead Leena through the doors and onto the back deck that let out onto the water. Leena could see that they were alone. The scene was so romantic. It astounded her. Bit let go of Leena long enough to scoot her chair out as she sat down. He took the seat opposite of her. The single candle that burned in the center of the table lit the lovers' faces as they smiled at each other.
Finally, the waiter came and both ordered. Leena had a strong desire for spaghetti and Bit told the waiter that he'd take the same. The waiter came back with the food a few minutes later and the dinner was underway. Bit stared hard under his slurping up spaghetti noodles and Leena was grateful for the darkness around her because she had become flustered under Bit's watchful eye. Leena could tell Bit had something on his mind, but had no idea what it could be.
After Crème Brule, Bit looked to Leena and smiled softly. He then reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small, burgundy velvet box. Leena's breath caught in her throat. Bit opened the box then got up from the table and kneeled on one knee in front of Leena.
"Leena Toros, will you marry me?"
Leena was smiling as tears were brimming her eyes, "Yes, Bit, I'll marry you!"
Bit was almost knocked down by the agile Leena who now had him embraced in a locked hug. They parted long enough to end their lovely evening with a kiss of passion so great it threatened to shake the heavens. They were both swimming in the sea of ecstasy at the moment.
-~*~-
Six months had passed since Bit's and Leena's engagement. A very frantic Leena was in a peach-colored room. She was decked in a white gown that fit her snugly and quite womanly. Naomi was trying to calm her down as much as possible as she wrestled with the veil. She finally got it into place just as Doc Toros entered the room.
Leena smiled at him as he placed a strand of white pearls around her neck. He then took a step back as Naomi and he admired them. "You look just like your mother did on our wedding day, dear."
Leena shooed her dad out of the room as tears threatened her eyes. "Aw, Dad, you're making my mascara run."
Naomi finished fastening the buttons on the back of Leena's dress and smoothed down a few locks of Leena's hair. She then stood aside as Leena looked at herself in the mirror. Naomi then took out a pair of pearl earrings, a tube of pale pink gloss, and a garter with a blue ribbon embroidered on it.
Naomi smiled, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Now you'll have the best of luck with your marriage."
Leena slipped the garter and earrings on and then applied a bit of gloss to her lips. She laughed and then hugged Naomi. "Thank you."
-~*~-
Bit twisted his handkerchief nervously as several people piled into the room. Sitting on the first pew was Vega, Seijitsu, and a few other members from the Backdraft Group that Leena had worked with. The other pews were dotted with some other friends of the bride and groom.
Brad looked to Bit and slapped his back playfully. "Who would've ever thought that Bit Cloud would ever tie the knot?"
Bit chuckled, "I don't know. Who?"
Both shushed as the wedding march began to rise from the organ. All were silent as their gazes turned to the two oak doors that opened and let in a stunning bride and a proud father at her side. Leena and Doc walked steadily down the aisle until they met with Bit. Doc Toros then gave his daughter away and took his seat on one of the front pews.
Finally, their vows were said and the preacher told Bit he could kiss his bride. Bit lifted the veil and leaned down to meet with Leena's lips. The kiss lasted a brief second and then the couple joined hands and hoots and howls of laughter, crying, and hollering were heard as the preacher announced his final ballad, "I now give you Mr. and Mrs. Bit Cloud."
-~*~-
After the wedding, the festivities were underway. All the women gathered as Leena threw her bouquet flowers. Naomi brightened red as she caught the bouquet of red amaryllises. Brad looked to Naomi and smiled, which in turn made her even redder.
The groom finally took his bride into his arms as they danced the first dance of the evening. They glided across the floor as if floating of invisible air currents. After many hours, they finally found themselves alone on the balcony. The moon was round and bright as it lit the couple's way.
"I love you Bit Cloud."
"I love you too, Mrs. Cloud."
Leena smiled and rested her head under Bit's chin. They stayed like that a few minutes more until their hearts melded as one. The second chapter in their lives together had just ended and now it was time to start the next one.
-~*~-
From the softly lit doorway Brad and Naomi watched the wedded couple as they shared their moment. The instant was filled with romance, happiness and an aura of magic that only happened truly once in a person's lifetime.
Brad took hold of Naomi's hand. At first she was startled and then she relaxed and leaned into him.
"Someday, Naomi, I hope we will feel what they're feeling right now," whispered Brad.
"I hope so too, Brad."
