Chapter 6
Weilan came back from the jewelry store at midday, she saw Ondina on the floor all her jewelry scattered across the floor.
"Ondina what are you doing?"
"Looking for jewelry duh"
"Ondina, you're a bridesmaid, they're gonna give you your jewelry when you go to the hotel, which you supposed to go to like, now?"
Ondina looked up "Oh bloody hell!" She got up and scrambled to get her things, she moved quickly, grabbing her already packed bag, her heels and her shoes. "See you at the wedding!" She said practically flying out the door.
Weilan stood there witch one eyebrow slightly arched in a 'you've gotta be fucking kidding me' expression.
Sirena was standing in front of the mirror, staring at her wedding dress, it was like a strapless corset on the top, but it had see through cloth wrapping around her arms and neck, on the bottom it was somewhat like a ball gown, puffy but elegant. The transparent cloth had flower patterns, flowers covered her neck area, starting mall on the right and spreading on the left towards the heart shaped corset, then they stopped, on the bottom of her sleeves there a small bunch of flowers, and as soon the bottom started flowers poured down on a line on the right, falling towards the end of the dress, which had a pattern of flowers on the tips all around.
Ondina and Mimmi starred, Evie and Carly had helped her pick out the dress so they weren't as enchanted, but they still were, and Sirenas sister? She was gushing, happy and stood a bit closer then the rest, Sirena turned around "So?"
"You look like a puffy flower goddess" was the first words out of Ondinas mouth
Everyone looked at her "Puffy flower goddess?" Said Evie, snorting a bit.
"Well it's true!" They laughed and Ondina glared.
"Well you all look like goddesses yourself" Said sirena, motioning the strapless dresses, it was corsetlike up to the ribs, pink with a layer of fading from bright to light pink and the flowing downward slowly opening without puffing fading from a bright pink to white. They all smiled and laughed.
Sirena was walked down the aisle by her mom, her mom and all her childhood friends and extended family being there, and David's family was there too, wondering why they hadn't met all these people, the chairs were full. As the vows were said Weilans eyes wandered and found Ondina, standing there in that beautiful strapless dress with gold earrings and a small gold necklace.
She stared, then she noticed that Ondina was smiling at one of the boys from the audience, a girl Weilan had never seen before, she got jealous, which was ridiculous why would she get jealous? After all it just a bet, nothing more, just a bet... right? She looked away.
Ondina had caught Weilans stare and felt guilty, for no reason at all, she had the right to eye other girls, it's not like they were really together, maybe she did want that, but Ondina didn't think Weilan did.
Weilan and Ondina had been seated next to each other, they sat there awkwardly, and then Ondina did something a bit unwise.
"Um the boy I was looking at was an old friend I wouldn't check out other people" came out of her mouth before she could stop it.
Weilan brightened up a little bit and tried to hide it, but Ondina had noticed.
"Ok, that's good to know" Weilan tried say nonchalantly, she wasn't very successful, all she could think about was the fact that Ondina thought about how her looking at other people. "Because of the bet right?"
Ondina swallowed, she took that as a sign that Weilan wasn't interested. "Yeah, the bet." She excused herself and went to walk around.
The music started, and David and Sirena were dancing in the middle of the dance, completely engulfed in each other, practically glowing.
Ondina came back from her walk along the hall and sat down with Weilan. Ondina stared at David and Sirena, and then looked at Weilan, she wanted to dance with Weilan again, but before she could make a move Weilan was on her feet, her long silver earrings visible due to her updo, and she was pulling Ondina along with her.
She took Ondina all around the hotel until she found the perfect spot, a wide hallway that opened up to a big, beautiful moonlit balcony. You could hear the music faintly playing in the background. Weilan pulled ondina close to her, Ondina almost tripping over her sandal like golden heels, even though Weilan was also in heels Ondina was taller.
Weilan wrapped her arm around Ondina's waist and grabbed her hand with the other one, Ondina placed her free arm around Weilans neck, they had almost no space between them. They danced around and eventually just ended up slowly moving around circling each other, their holding hands next to there shoulder because there arms were foreheads touching, Weilan let go of Ondina's hand and placed it over her cheek, she moved slowly to kiss Ondina, and as ondina leaned in she noticed that boy from the crowd. The boy she had flirted with in the hallway after Weilans comment about how the only reason Ondina shouldn't flirt was the bet, her ex, that had somehow managed to get into the wedding, probably because of Sirenas soft heart.
Ondina stepped back and Weilan flinched, she turned around to see why she had stepped back and saw the boy from the crowd. She tumbled back a bit, pain coursing through her chest. The boy called out.
"Ondina! You forgot to take this." He said giving ondina a slip of paper, it had a phone number on it.
"Why don't you introduce me to your friend?" Weilan said with an irritated tone
"This is Erik, a friend, this is Weilan, another friend."Ondina said awkwardly
"Friend, and ex lovers" Erik teased "Erik, leave" Ondina snapped "You weren't irritated by me before, what happened?" He said getting closer to her. "What happened was that I was upset and stupid, now leave." "I don't know.." He said slowly closing the space between them.
Weilan grabbed his arm and twisted it back "I'm pretty sure she told you to leave" Erik hissed in pain, once Weilan let go of his arm he left in quite a hurry.
"Thank you he is s-"
"I don't care, I'm going home." Weilan said, trying to sound neutral, but you could hear the tones of hurt and anger.
"W-what?" Ondina felt guilt rush through her. "Wait, wait I was just, I was upset and I don't know what happened" Weilan kept walking, she had her arms folded except her hands were gripping onto her forearms, she was slightly hunched, the dress dragging gracefully behind her as she walked away. "Why does this even matter to you, after all you said it was a bet!" Ondina covered her mouth after the words tumbled out, and so did Weilan she stopped for a second and turned around hurt and pure fury in her eyes. "You just proved that it is, because maybe what I said wasn't the whole truth." She said, every word filled with bitterness. She turned and walked away.
And the only thing Ondina was grateful for was the fact that after the wedding the bridesmaids would stay at the hotel for a day, because Ondina had ruined what was almost what she wanted.
