The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

This is it. Today is the day I am getting married.

My mind was totally messed up.

I was feeling a hurricane of emotions.

I was feeling sad at the thought of leaving my parents, nervous at the thought of starting a new life with my husband, and excited at the thought of getting married but the feeling of nervousness was overwhelming.

On top of that, the thought of paparazzi was making me mad. The news of our engagement was the headlines on the day after the party.

The day we went to shop for bridesmaids' dresses , the paparazzi were outside the shop and there were a lot of them. Erica had to call her bodyguards who escorted us to the car. And today they were going to be even more in number.

I was pacing forth and back while my two best friends were seated comfortably on my bed watching me.

" Soph , stop it. Don't be so nervous although it's fun watching you running like a headless chicken" , Char chuckled.

" Glad that I can entertain you ." , I said sarcastically.

" Soph come here ." Ryan pulled me into a tight hug. " Everything is going to be fine and if not , you have us. We will be a call away."

I rested my head on his chest.

"I know I can always count on you guys. I love you guys so much " .

"Aww , we love you too" Char joined in the hug and I sighed. After a minute we pulled away.

"Now , enough of this melodrama. We have a wedding to attend and save your tears for now. We need to get your lazy ass ready for the wedding." Char clapped her hands with an overly excited grin.

" Yeah , right ." I went to the shower. I used my time and by the time I was back , Ryan was not in the room.

" Oh Cinderella, sit down . I need to work my magic on you , you know ...to make you look pretty.'' She teased.
