Hey there you guys, sorry for not updating. This would have been up sooner, but it took me so long to write it and even longer to correct it. You guys are amazing and thank you for all those reviews, I would hug all you guys if I could. On other news DC Nation won't be back until January and that's just horrible. As always enjoy this chapter and stay strong until January.
The crumpled sheets and the slight layer of sweat had formed on the young man's' body. The previous night was just tossing and turning and trying to detangle from his fiancée's embrace. Trying to find a suitable position so that his body can drift in to a mindless sleep, trying isn't the same as succeeding so he simply laid in his bed looking at the ceiling as if it held a secret message if he stared long enough. Though he couldn't shake the fluttering feeling in his stomach about how much more comfortable he felt when he had his arms wrapped around the girl's waist. Just with that alone he bolted up from his bed, careful not to wake his companion and made a beeline towards the kitchen.
He sat in the bar stool and had his head in his hands as he whispered to no one, "What am I doing, I'm about to get married."No one heard him and he knew, but that didn't stop him from hoping that some higher power would give him an answer. He smiled at his foolish antics and thought about why he was even getting married. Don't get him wrong he used have that spark when he first started to date Linda. They were both enrolled in Stanford, and whenever he would see her his eyes would light up and his heart rate would increase. They were completely inseparable and it was almost sickening to see how much Wally loved Linda.
Anyone could see that Linda felt the same way as well. But alas, love is a temporary madness and when it subsides you make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you ever part. And sadly, they weren't so entwined; they no longer held each other as if it would be the last time that they ever did, and no longer did they have the twinkle in their eyes. Wally proposed, because she was his safety blanket. He feared being alone, so when Linda started to use his money he didn't mind. The young man in the barstool sat and thought about this, and no sooner that the thoughts invaded his mind did they exited just as swiftly.
Wally went back into his room, and Linda was still in the same position he had left her in. He looked at the clock and was thankful he didn't have work tomorrow, because it was four in the morning and he hadn't even rested his eyes. Wally slept for four hours until he was awaken by Linda's voice. "Wally get up we are about to be late for our appointment."
His vision was blurry and his voice was rough, "What appointment?" He looked at the clock once again and groaned at the lack of sleep.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you we have to pick out the cake, and our appointment is at nine." She took the blankets away from him and continued, "Wally if we are late, I am going to blame you." She slammed the door causing Wally to finally get up and get ready.
The whole car ride consisted of Linda telling or rather nagging at Wally for being late although they were ten minutes ahead of schedule. He just looked at the road and nodded ever so slightly whenever she demanded a response. Much to Wally's pleasure the bakery wasn't that far and they were there in less than fifteen minutes.
They were immediately greeted by a beautiful girl with short black hair and dazzling blue eyes, "Hi I'm Wendy you must be Linda and Wally." She extended her hand which only Wally shook and Linda just walked past her.
She raised an eyebrow, but continued, "The cake samples are laid out, would you like a moment to try them" they simply nodded, "okay I'll leave you to it." With the click of her heels she disappeared in her office.
Wally's mouth seemed to water and was excited to spend some time with Linda, and then he realized he had nothing to talk to her about. Throughout the entire time mere glances were shared, small talk or the 'mhm' or 'mmm'. It was twenty minutes until Linda finally decided, "I like the marble cake, we'll take it."
"Really the marble cake it confuses your taste buds, is it vanilla or chocolate." He lifted his hands as if he made a grand declaration.
"I want the marble cake, and it tastes fine. Are you saying I don't have good taste?" Her voice was getting higher with every word.
He shook his head quickly, "No it's not that it's just I thought we were suppose to make the decision together."
"We are making the decision together, know pay the lady and let's go." She left without another word.
Wally sighed in defeat wondering if this is how all marriage plans are. He pays Wendy and apologizes for the sudden outburst. Wendy just shook her head in agreement, feeling bad for the man who had to marry that rude woman. As he made his way to the car he prepared himself for what lay ahead of him in the car. Wally was right, throughout the entire ride she went on and on about how embarrassed she was, or how he disrespected her in front of the entire world. Still Wally couldn't help but think she would make a good actress or a news reporter. She's already amazing at stretching the truth, so why not make it her career.
They finally made it to the jeweler with Linda stomping out of the car. Wally only amused at her childish antics follows her in. An elderly man came in and showed them all the beautiful rings. Wally was a simple man and was always fond to the simple gold bands. Linda on the other hand was completely different. She picked out the shiniest ring that hurt whenever the light touched it. Not once did he complain he was a fast learner after all.
Wally sat in the chair while looking at Linda talking to the jeweler. He could make out every fifth words whether it be sparkles, bigger, or shinier. He groaned at the thought of wearing a sparkly silver band. He then turned his head to look at the other side of the counter and spotted a very happy couple. They didn't have the most extravagant ring, but they looked at the piece of gold as if it was worth millions. Still nothing could compare to the look they gave each other. They held each other and admired the rings as if they had a further meaning to it. He couldn't help but wonder if he would ever have that same look when holding someone. Then a smiling blonde with grey eyes crawled into his subconscious, he couldn't help but smile and let out a thoughtful sigh.
