What was he doing with me?
The ball was still continuing. No one noticed anything or they just simply didn't care. My eyes noticed Caspar's friend who was looking around. Maybe she was searching for Caspar.
“It had to be our night,” Merdian whispered to me as we walked forward.
I put my head on his shoulder and just simply sighed. Yes, this night had to be special and it was going to be, because I would take a ring from him, tell everyone that I wanted to be Merdian's forever.
Patrick soon sprung in front of us. He seemed angry, although he tried not to show everyone his feelings. After all, it wasn't time and place for that.
“Marcus,” he said in a cold tone.
“Yes, sir,” he took some steps closer to the angel king.
“Make sure that there wouldn't be anything else what wasn't planned.”
Marcus nodded and taking a last glance at me, walked away from me. It was strange how no one noticed hos confident he was and that he wasn't even an angel.
“It's time,” some kind of woman approached us, holding a some kind of device in her hand. “Are you ready, sir?” she asked, looking straight at Merdian who nodded. “Great,” the woman said quickly something her device and the some light turns off. “Mr. Offman,” she looked at Patrick.
He put a tiny smile on his face and walked to staircase which would be our stage.
“My lovely guests,” Patrick said loudly. Everyone turned to look at him. “I am really happy to see you all here. This night is really special for my family, not only because Melody finally is with us, but because...” he lifted his hand to Merdian.
“Come,” Merdian whispered and we both moved closer to Patrick.
This is time and no one can take it from me, I said in my mind.
“Yes, not only because you are with us,” Merdian said and took out a ring which once was on my finger, but after the accident...he took it and kept with him. He promised me to give it back when I open my eyes. “Melody, I want you to be my life, my friend and my wife,” he said out loud that everyone could hear his words, but his eyes were looking only at me, while mine tried to steal some glances at the crown in which was Marcus.
“Yes,” I said without missing a beat. “I want to be your wife,” I put a huge smile on my face and destroy the distance between us in order to give him one long and demanding kiss.
People started clapping. Even Marcus joined the crowd, although I saw in his eyes anger and disgust. He wasn't happy with what he was forced to see. To be honest, I wasn't pleased to know that he was in this room, in this house. What was he up to?
“I love you, Melody,” Merdian said, touching my face with his fingers. The ring found its place on my finger. It was so awesome to have it with me again. It was like returning home after a long travel.
“I love you too,” I whispered.
One step was done and another was about to come; the wedding. Soon I would be wearing a white dress and calling myself Melody Spring.
I won't let Marcus ruin that, but that devilish smile on his face told me that he knew what I was thinking and that he accepted my challenge.
Game on.
