KAMARA 7
The procession to the altar is about to begin so I took my place with the other girls.
I think I lost my guardian angel, I thought as I waited for the groomsmen to line up accordingly. They paired themselves up with their various partners and I was about adjusting my dress so that I can walk in comfort when I saw the grey eyes of a Greek god walking towards me. I couldn't look away. I didn't even know when he was close enough to touch until he touched my arm and I jolted like someone who was electrocuted.
"Every time we meet, you zone out. Is everything ok?" He asked.
I nodded cause I couldn't find my voice.
He offered me his arm and I was confused.
"Aren't you the maid of honor?" He asked.
I nodded again.
"We need to join the others as they have already started the procession down the aisle" he said
I looked around and discovered that the girls had started moving to the song that was playing and we were still standing. People were looking at us like 'what the hell is going on with them'
I quickly understood that he was the best man we've been waiting for.
Chai, Kamara, your village people are really out to disgrace you today of all days.
We hooked our arms together and joined the others to complete the procession to the altar. All through the journey, I was invaded by his smell. I tried not to look at him . He was looking hot in that black tux. My hands started sweating and I couldn't wait for the procession to be over.
We got to the altar and I withdrew my arm. He looked at me and I tried to avoid eye contact by all means possible. I think he felt the electric jolt also but was just hiding his reaction.
He was standing right in front of me and was seriously looking at me like he was trying to define me or my whole existence. I don't wanna lose control or focus so I avoided looking at him.
The 'here comes the bride' song started playing and Steph and her uncle made their way through the aisle as well.
