"I now pronouce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
I smiled when Father Dom said that, and gripped my bouquet of roses tightly. I looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back at me.
No, this wasn't my wedding. It was Josephina's. I was one of her bridesmaids. You really thought it was mine there for a minute didn't you? Come on! I'm seventeen!
The reception was nice. It was in the Mission's coutyard. I went up and hugged Josephina. "Congratulations, Jose!" She smiled. "Thanks Suze." Then I felt someone tap my shoulder. Mercy was staring back at me. She motioned for me to follow her. We sat down beside the fountain, trying not to ruin our brisesmaid dresses.
"Well, this has been one strange month hasn't it?" I laughed. "Only in Carmel." We both said as we clanked our glasses together. She looked back at me. "Let's just hope that our senior year is just as fun."
"Yep, only minus the crazy vampires. I can so deal without those." She smiled, but her face darkened when she looked over my shoulder.
"I can't go five minutes without seeing you, can I?" I heard a laugh behind me,"Mercedes, can I speak to Susannah."
"Yeah, I'm not stopping you."
"Alone." She groaned. "Fine." She got up and walked off, I turned around to face the person behind me. He kissed me.
"What was that for?"
He smiled. "Do I need a reason?" I felt myself blush when he said that. He took my hand.
"Never do that again."
"Do what, querida?"
"Scare me like that. I thought I lost you!"
"Again?" I nodded and he smiled.
"Jesse! It's not funny!" He smiled again. "Am I laughing?" I shook my head.
He sat down on the edge of the fountain, I sat beside him. I rested my head on his shoulder and he put his arms around me. He was about to kiss me again, when he stopped.
"What?" He nodded to someone standing beside us. "Hey Marta." She smiled.
"I thought you moved on?" She shook her head. "I couldn't."
Then Jesse said, "Why not?"
She smiled again as she said. "Wasn't suppossed to. Had to make sure you were happy."
I looked at her. She looked more other-worldly than ever. "So, what. Are you are fairy-godmother or something?"
"Something like that. Cinderella." Then she looked at Jesse, "Tell Jose "I love you" for me and "congratulations."
He nodded. "I will."
She started to shimmer. "Love you guys." And she was gone. Just before she shimmered away, I could have sworn it looked like she had wings.
I smiled.
"What is it, Susannah?"
"I think we have a Guardian Angel."
He smiled as he kissed me again. He pulled back after a minute or two, and rested his forhead on mine.
He whispered. "If you love something, set it free-"
"-If it was meant to be, it'll come back to you." I finished. I leaned up and kissed him. No one was ever going to take him away from me again.
If Marta really was my 'fairy godmother' than I was Cinderella. And I had my Prince Charming. And no one could ever take that away from me.
"I love you Jesse."
"I love you too, querida."
"Always have always will." I said.
He laughed as he took me into his arms again.
I smiled because I felt as if my heart would burst with joy.
