Yes I do

Chapter eleven

Diane stood behind Lena dressed in a lacey burgundy off shoulder mermaid dress while Lena was dressed in a white mermaid gown which was also off shoulder...a simple dress. She felt like she was stealing Lena spotlight but she couldn't refuse the dress...it was beautiful and a gift from Jason. She even told Lena she didn't want to wear the dress because it would make her stand out but Lena being Lena always waved it off.

Lena held a bunch of pink roses...it being her favourite flower. Her raven black hair was all curled up like Goldy locks... Of course Goldy locks and the three bears her favourite cartoon. This was her dream wedding a combination of all her favourite things.

Lena looked into Jason's eyes and everything else around her...them became still...this is it, the time she finally gets spend the rest of her life with Jason. She didn't think anything could go wrong. She received a sweet smile from Jason that melted her heart and made the world still.... nothing could go wrong.... Nothing.

"Do you Elena Landon take Jason Mort to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?" The priest asked standing in front of them

She flashed her  wide smile that mirrored her best friend Diane's own. "Yes I do"

"Do you Jason Mort take Elena Landon to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

The church was silent....you could even hear a pin drop. Everyone was waiting for his reply but none came. Elena smiled dimmed as the seconds went by

"Jason Mort do you take Elena Landon to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Jason knew he had to say something now, he had to. His head was bent low, he had to think properly and the only way for him to do that was not staring at anyone.

"Jason" Luke his best friend and best man, voice came out as a whisper.

He had to reply. He looked up at Elena, her brows were creased, her face was already sullen it looked like she had aged right there. Tears welled up in her eyes. He turned his gaze to Diane and she smiled at him but she was also loosing her patience not only her but people in attendance also.

"Jason Mort do...." The priest began again for the seventh time but was cut off by Jason.

"I do" he replied and gave Elena his full blown smile as she heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

For a minute there Elena had doubts of this marriage, she still do....it still lingers in her mind. It took the priest to say it seven times before he could decide if he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

"You may now kiss the bride" the priest announced and Jason pulled her to him and kissed her but this was different, the kiss was different from the ones they've had.

"Denny" Ruby called as she pushed open his door and strolled in. 

She looked around the spacious and beautiful room filled with all kinds of boy toys. She had never seen anything like it, she only had gin gin her rag doll which she grew up with.

Her eyes were filled with awe. Stupefied, she walked towards the shelf that housed most of the toys. Her eyes caught a power ranger toy, red ranger to be precise. It was about three feet tall and it was isolated from the rest, it seemed like she was lost staring at the toy because she didn't know when her hand reached out to touch the shiny toy.

"What do you think your doing" Dennis asked as he walked out of his walk in closet, dressed in a green plaid shorts and a black polo shirt, on his right wrist was a boy wrist watch which was covered in red ranger design. He scowled at her as he caught her about to touch his price possession.

She quickly retracted her hand and picked up her rag doll which fell down when Dennis startled her. She refrained herself from going closer to the enchanting toy as she turned to face Dennis.

Dennis walked up to her, his eyes never once leaving her face and his scowl growing deeper and stronger every step he took closer to her. Finally he came face to face with her, she stood almost his height, his chest.

"What are you doing in my room?" He questioned and placed his hand on his waist waiting for a reply.

She squeezed gin gin for comfort as she tried to speak to him. Denny scares her to death, he is the first person to ever say it directly to her face that he hates her and would do everything possible to get rid of her. She was supposed to despise him after that encounter...but no. She wants him to like her like Gaby does.

"I...I, Miss char made some cookies and ice cream. Would you want some? ".

Dennis was tempted. He loves cookies especially Charlotte homemade cookies and ice cream. He was about to turn down the offer but what Ruby said next made him running downstairs.

"It's butter pecan ice cream"

Ruby smiled to herself as Dennis ran out of the room to get the treats downstairs. She was about to go but her eyes caught sight of the toy again. She wondered what it will be like to have other dolls apart from gin gin. She turned and walked out before her morals would be questioned.

Unknown to the little girl, she was never out of sight.
