Chapter 2: Wedding of Luke & Alaika
14th of February 2016
Ben had arrived with his father and stepmother at the location where the party was held.
He immediately saw his best friend Myri, who looked very happy.
"Hey Myri." Ben said.
"Hey Ben." Myri said.
"You look very pretty in pink." Ben said as he took her left hand with his right one.
"Thank you." Myri said and blushed pretty heavy.
Ben looked at the dance Myri's dad was dancing with his new stepmom. He knew it was the father-daughter dance, but because of the parental issues, it was a brother-sister dance. "Myri, would you want to dance with me? After dad and your aunt have danced their dance?" he asked.
Myri looked at him with wide eyes. "Yes!" she said, hugging Ben tightly.
Ben couldn't wait before they could dance, so he watched how his father danced. A waltz didn't look that hard, he could always try.
When that dance was done, more dancing pairs made their way to the dancefloor, Ben and Myri as well, who kept waltzing 5 songs long while the adults were long drained after 3 dances.
The night went on, sometimes they danced, other times they were snacking chips and a bit to drink while playing with Ben's cousins and Myri's sister.
Myri and Ben had sneaked out of the building towards the garden to look at the moon. Now they were laying on the grass outside, facing the sky.
"Thank you, for this night." Myri said as she turned her head to Ben.
"It was nothing, I'd do anything for you, you know that." Ben told when he had his head turned to her, smiling at her.
Myri blushed a little as she felt Ben taking her hand.
Ben rolled slowly on top of Myri, his crystal blue eyes staring deep into Myri's emerald green ones.
Myri blushed even more when he did that.
"You're beautiful, and if they can't see, they're just dumb and need glasses." Ben said and leaned down, kissing Myri on her lips with his eyes closed and his hands cupping her pretty face.
Myri closed her eyes as well, not knowing how to react otherwise. Ben was already a handsome boy, every girl from D.C. and in villages around knew that.
Ben let go of her slowly. "I will always love you." he said. "But I need to go now, I'm sorry Myri, I hope we'll see each other again in the future." and he left.
Myri was still lying on the grass, still blushing from what Ben had done to her. She knew Ben's kiss had been special, especially because the kiss had taken longer than 10 seconds. This kiss had been a kiss a boyfriend gives his girlfriend before he leaves. Myri knew about love, and she loved Ben very much, but she was still thinking he deserved someone better than her, someone without a scarred past.
