Here we were finally married; I was finally married to the man of my dreams. John was dressed in a classic black suit with a gold tie while I was dressed in my gorgeous wedding gown, my hair curled and framed around my face with a lace veil covering the back of my hair. I gazed into his blue eyes, nothing but love in them yet I felt my arm being pulled, I looked to see who it was and there was Randy, yanking at my arm. He had nothing but tears streaming down his face. "How could you do this Lea?"

"You're too late, Randy" I said pulling my arm away from him.

He looked at me sadly, his face lowered. Randy slowly walked away, while John linked his fingers with mine, John grinned as he stared into my brown eyes. We walked down this dark blue carpet; the space seemed to turn darker as we continued walking. There was a tall figure standing at the end, it was Wade. He was dressed in this royal blue and gold suit and there was my friend Adele, who was wearing a yellow gown, the two looked like something out of a fairy tale. The room turned into a golden ballroom and Wade and Adele were dancing, together. They stared lovingly into each other's eyes. I turned to my side and John wasn't there anymore, I turned around looking around to see where he was, but I was more focussed on the couple in front of me. I shook my head; my chest ached at what I was seeing. I felt this little hand grab my thumb, index and middle fingers. I glanced down to see this little girl. "Daddy seems to have found his Belle" she said to me.

...

I jolted up out of bed, "These weird dreams have to stop."

I looked outside at the warm sunny morning, it was my wedding day. The day had arrived, I rushed to have a shower and I knew there were plenty to do and not enough time.

"Sweetheart! The maid of honour is here!" called Dad from downstairs.

"Tell her to come up!" I yelled, putting my robe on.

"Lea!" screamed Bethany, "today's the day!"

I sat on the chair in front of mirror, "I'm ready for my hair and make-up."

"Trust me darling, you will definitely be the bell of the ball" she said.

Suddenly images of my dream that morning, popped in my head. I wasn't sure what any of it meant.

"James is getting the kids ready, I thought I'd get ready here, I mean the bride and maid of honour getting ready together" she said grinning.

I smiled, "Of course."

"Are you feeling nervous?" she asked.

"A little... a lot" I said, "I can't believe it's my wedding day already, it definitely has come really fast."

A few hours later, Bethany had done an amazing job of my makeup and had created a beautiful bouffant, with curls draping around my face. She fixed my veil into place, as I then went to put on my wedding dress, my friend Adele walked in. She was already dressed in her crimson ruched, front mesh panel dress, she definitely looked stunning. "Hi Bethany" said Adele.

"Hello" said Bethany, returning the greeting.

She gazed at me, as I turned around to look at her, my outfit complete but my shoes. "Lea you look absolutely stunning!"

"Adele! You made it!" I called, "you're not going to Miami."

"No, I decided to part from Wade, just wasn't the guy for me" she said "I actually brung someone else with me."

I watched her kind smile turn into a sly grin. "Hello ladies" said a familiar voice.

Bethany and I looked at the blue eyed, brunette haired, tattooed young man as he stole a kiss from Adele; he laid his hand on the small of her back.

"Phil!" I exclaimed quite shocked by his return. He wore a dark suit, with a matching crimson tie, which was tied around his neck.

Adele kissed him on the cheek, "Yeah, he came back and he told me about how he couldn't stand it in New York so Mr Barrett gave him his job back."

The look of glee on her face as she spoke of Phillip, she definitely looked like she was with the right guy.

"I promised to never let her out of my sight again, so I asked her to marry me last night" said Phil grinning.

"What!" I exclaimed.

Adele had the mirrored grin, as she flashed her diamond ring that was on her left hand. "We got engaged."

"You guys got engaged! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well it all happened last night, I thought you might be all stressed or focussed on your wedding, I didn't want to take any focus away" said Adele.

I smiled at her, grabbing her hand. "You're one of my best friends, I would drop anything for you and I am so happy for you" I said and then I turned to Phil. "For both of you."

They smiled at each other, as Phil stole another kiss. "I'll be downstairs, by the way Lea you look gorgeous that John is a lucky guy."

I smiled at him, as the three of us watched him leave.

"I can't believe it's your wedding day already" said Adele.

"I can't believe you got engaged" I said.

She smiled, "well it's your time now."

I stared at her, stalling at my next question. "So did Wade and Adele leave?"

She nodded, "Yes, they left this morning."

"Oh" I said.

"I know how much you wanted for them to be here, Mr Barrett told me everything about you two."

"He did?" I said.

She smiled, "I don't know why you didn't tell me, he really cares about you."

I smiled.

...

I heard some male laughter coming from downstairs; the bridal party was ready and was waiting. I walked downstairs to see who was here. Amongst the crowd was family, friends, work mates and shockingly my boss was standing with my father. The laugh seemed to be coming from my Dad, as Wade must have been telling him something that amused him. Everyone gasped as they saw me walk down the stairs. Dad began tearing up, my eyes stayed on Wade as he adoringly watched me. I made my way toward Dad and Wade, as I smiled kindly at everyone else who were all grinning at me, some people had tears, others were just so happy for me. It was a little daunting to have all this attention. I couldn't see Randy anywhere but his family were here.

"Lea, you look beautiful" said Dad.

I wiped the tears from his face, "You look great too, Dad."

"I'll leave you two alone" said Wade leaving. We nodded.

"I can't believe it's my little girl's wedding day, she's flying out of the coop" said Dad putting his arm around my back.

I hugged him tightly, my eyes becoming watery. "I'll miss you Daddy."

"I'll miss you too kid, you've been the best part of my life, I just want you to know that. The best daughter, a father could ask for" he said.

I pulled away, looking at him "You have been the best father a daughter could ever have."

He smiled, kissing my cheek. "I'll see you in a little bit; Mr Barrett said he wanted to speak with you."

"Alright, Daddy" I said smiling at him.

He winked at me then began conversing with Randy's parents.

I looked around through the crowd for Wade, I couldn't see him. I walked outside and there he was standing, his hands in his trousers, he was wearing this light blue shirt and a black blazer. He turned around and grinned, I could see that his eyes appeared to be red.

"You're coming to the wedding?" I said to him.

"I actually just came to speak to you."

"I'm sorry about how I acted before, you let me stay at your house for the second time and I acted like a child."

"I should apologize, look I've come to talk straight with you Lea and there is so much I want to tell you." He looked at my wedding dress, "I'm not sure if I should say, but if I don't say it... I'll regret it."

"What is it?"

He green eyes were fixed on mine, "I've always been fond of you, Lea. You're kind and sweet. Every time I ever got to spend with you, was my favourite time of the day and when I had to leave you... it was the hardest. I always thought you were incredible never fit to be just my assistant, you are destined for great things. You're an amazing artist; I think you could go so many places. But I was selfish; I wanted you to be as close to me for as long as you could. I watched how crazy you were about Randy and how he never saw you as nothing more than a friend, but your love for him was true. I always thought you'd never see or feel that way about me, then that day when you were crying in the car park when I found you, I just couldn't have it, I had to do something to see you smile again. So I called Molly and told her I wanted you to stay at the house in Miami, I told her to try to make you happy again. Then you met John and I could see that he made you happy, you had that gorgeous smile back. But every day you were with him, began to become harder for me. The reason I'm going back to Miami isn't because of my daughter, it's because of you. I just can't see you getting married, I just can't..."

My eyes were glossy; his loving proclaims was something I have never seen in him. Something I never knew he would direct toward me. I put my hand on his face, "Wade..."

He smiled, "Enjoy your life Lea and just know if you ever do need anything I will always be here for you, I'll always be here."

Wade brushed past me; I hardly got a chance to say anything before he marched off. I went after him, but I found myself ambushed by Alexandra. "Look at the beautiful bride!"

I smiled, still looking around for Wade but he had disappeared.

"You look beautiful, Lea" she said.

"So do you" I said. I admired her navy blue, crepe maxi dress; it had a beautiful embellished v neck with blue crystals on the neck line.

"Thank you, but that dress is beautiful... I haven't seen it on any runways" she said.

"Well it's vintage, it was my Mother's" I said looking down at my dress.

"Oh, well it looks absolutely stunning on you" she said smiling.

"Lea! Lea!" called a voice.

I looked around to see who it was, a brunette woman buzzed through the crowd of people.

"Taylor?" I said.

"Lea, John needs to talk to you" she said out of breath.

We both looked at Alexandra. She smiled, immediately getting the idea that it was a private matter, "I'll be over there."

We walked a little further away from the house, "What's the matter?"

"John has been stressing all day, something happened last night and he won't tell me, he won't tell anyone. He hasn't gotten dressed or anything."

"What? That doesn't sound like him at all" I said surprised.

"I know, I don't know what's wrong, he says he won't get dressed until he speaks to you" she said.

"Should I call him?" I asked.

"No, he wants to see you."

I was baffled, but I had a hunch what it could have been about and the culprit was nowhere to be seen.
