I could feel my heart hammering inside my ribcage. I'm as nervous as hell as Roselee helped me wear my wedding dress in my room at my biological father's mansion. Antonio, my papa, is now downstairs, waiting for me. While Daddy Adolfo is currently at church, cool one's heel for our arrival.

I studied myself in the huge mirror in front of me. The top of my gown is a sweetheart off-shoulder with puffed sleeves. While the bottom is flowing as it reaches the floor. My hair is done in a French twist and my make-up, just like what I wanted, is simple.

"Ang ganda mo talaga Clavelle."

Dumapo ang mga mata ko sa aking kaibigan mula sa salamin. I smiled at her, a thankful one. Not because of what she said, but because of being here with me and being a true friend.

"Thank you. Ikaw din ang ganda mo."

"Alam ko naman na maganda talaga ako pero dahil kasal mo ito, I didn't make much effort to be the most beautiful girl in town. Ibabalato ko na sayo ang araw na 'to."

I rolled my eyes, which earned a chuckle from both of us. She then snaked her arms around my waist and rested her chin on my shoulder. We stared at each other in the mirror. She's wearing a pale pink one-shoulder gown. Her curled hair is brushing my skin.

"But really Clavelle, masaya ako para sayo." She said softly.

I placed my hand on top of her. "Me too, Rose. I'm happy for myself too."

The wedding lasted a short time. O masaya lang talaga ako na feeling ko ang bilis ng oras. Nasa tabi ko si Vesper, nasa mini stage kami, naka upo sa harap ng mga bisita. They're as happy as we are.

I rested my hand on Vesper's left thigh and made a caress as I leaned on him. He stiffened as his arm around my waist tightened. His head flung at me immediately. His eyes were dark and laced with thirst. I give his thigh a teasing caress once more, upward, nearly to his friend. I looked at him innocently.

"Leanna," he said slowly, with a warning tone.

"Hmm?"

His eyes turned to slits. I bit the inside of my cheek to hide a smile.

"You don't want me to cut the reception early and just go fuck off in our suite and have our pre-honeymoon immediately, do you?"

I chuckled. Hindi na mapigilan ang sarili. His eyes hardened, but I caught a ghost of a smile on his lips. Sure, he does enjoy this too.

Oh, my dear husband, this is your fault. You corrupted my innocent mind, so deal with it.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The hair on my nape stood when he leaned and nuzzled his nose on my ear and slightly bit it after licking my earlobe. His hand crawled up under my boob. My cheeks heated up. Sa mata ng mga bisita ay parang may binubulong lang siya sa akin. But little did they really know. I gulped.

"Stop it, Vesper. May mga bisita sa harap." Malambing kong sabi imbes na banta.

He stopped. Mabuti nalang! Though his lips are still on my ear. "You started it my wife."

Now I think it's really a good idea na maagang taposin ang reception. Or maybe not? Pwede naman siguro kaming tumakas sandali diba?

Oh my god, stop it Leanna Clavelle!

I straightened up in my seat when I saw papa nearing us. Then I turned my head to my husband to warn him to stop. Vesper's lips turned into a smile when he noticed my cheeks were flushed. Yes, ako nga ang nauna but it backfired. I glared at him, not really meaning it though. His lips widened and I pouted. He then planted a kiss on my lips, making the butterflies in my stomach rumble.
