Epilogue.
[ Sophia's P.O.V ]


 


 

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes," I replied confidently. This was probably going to be the most important decision of my life, but I was more than sure that it was the right one.

"Okay, only if you're sure," Alex said with a faint smile.

"Yes. . .I am, trust me." Alex didn't reply as he placed a light, feather-like kiss on my forehead.

"I love you Sophia."

"I love you too Alex,  I love you too. This is just my way of saying thank you to you for everything," I smiled, pressing my lips to his cheek.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

I nodded my head, even though my heart was racing and my hands quivering. "Where's Mark?"

"He'll be here soon enough, don't worry, he won't miss this. He just had to deal with some press who were threatening to sue when Nicholas nearly assaulted them."

"He can't miss this," I stated.

"He won't. . .calm down."

"Okay, I believe you."

"Good, now, for the tenth time, are you ready?" he asked with now a huge smile on his face.

"Yes," I breathed.

"Good, I was growing old in anticipation. And I'm hungry as well. I just want this to finish already so I can have some food."

"Alex! This is one of the most important days of my life and all you can think about it food!" I exclaimed, pushing his chest lightly with a roll of my eyes.

"Calm down woman! I'm joking, but I made you forget about your nerves, didn't I?" he smirked slightly.

"Whatever."

"You know I'm right," he grinned mischievously.

"I hate you."

"Love you too."

I stuck my tongue out at him, causing him to simply grin at me.

"Okay, and you're up in. . .three. . .two. . .one," she said with a small wink as she entered the room, listening closely to her headset.  "Good luck," she mouthed with a huge grin and two thumbs up.

And just like that all the nerves were back. I wanted this wholeheartedly; however, there was this great sense of anxiety there, which was completely inexplicable. The sound of my heart thumping could be heard even by my own ears. My palms began to sweat while butterflies invaded my stomach. Taking in a huge breath, I hooked my arms into the crook of Alex's before exiting the room.

"Hey, don't worry, calm down, okay. You look beautiful," Alex whispered and immediately, my nerves calmed, and my body, which was previously stiffened, relaxed a little. But there were so many scenarios running through my head, not allowing me to fully relax.

What if I fell over? What if I said something wrong? What if it started raining heavily?

I checked my reflection in the mirror quickly, taking in long white dress, which had a intricate hand-beaded lace framing a sweetheart neckline and dropped waistline. The full pleated skirt with matching beaded lace featured a draped sash waistline that captivatingly trails to the back, adding a majestic touch to the chapel length train. The top half of the dress pronounced my curves but the pleated skirt was slight puffy. My light brown hair cascaded down my back in loose curles while two pieces of hair were clipped back in a braid on either side.
