LOVE AGAIN

He parked the car and got down, walked into the judiciary office.

“Aren’t you coming?”Zoey said, smiling broadly.

“Zoey this is a joke right? What are you two up to”

I said to her still as shocked as I have never been in my whole life.

There’s no way we are getting married. I am sure he will need a birth certificate and family members etc so this is definitely one of those expensive pranks.

“I thought you said yes.. sweet Valerie?”Zoey demanded.

“I said what… I don’t know what the heck he said before that but…. I am quite sure I said what!”

“Well I don’t understand why you love my brother and me yet you are so scared of getting married”.

She replied, trying to blackmail me with love.

“Well I don’t know what you think of marriage but it isn’t something you just jump into, it’s a serious business Zoey you won’t understand”.

She shrugged.

“Frog Prince is a good businessman”.

I was about to reply to her with every ounce of frustration in my head then Mr Prince came out of the judiciary, walked towards us with his face beaming and carried me into his arms, Zoey jumped down from the car and happily followed behind.

“This is not legal!”

I snapped out.

“But it is, you are the one who talked about us getting married in the first place”.

He replied.

“I didn’t mean it now! There are processes that will lead to marriage”.

“Why should I wait for the process if I am sure of what I want?”

He replied.

I was about to argue as we entered the office but the cold looking man made me silent, I think he is the registrar.

He had his elbow wrested on his desk, his hair shaved and the white bead on the jaw, with the mustache made him look even more strict.

I sat down on the chair opposite him and Prince sat dork on the other beside me.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ma’am your lover told me everything about your doubts, don’t worry and don’t be afraid, as long as you are an adult and have a witness, this marriage is sealed”.

“Well I don’t have my birth certificate a witness in fact witnesses, isn’t that part of the requirements needed”.

The registrar raised a brow up, Prince leaned over and whispered into my ear.

“As for the documents, I have submitted those, I am your boss remember, so don’t worry”.

“I am your witnesses “.

Zoey announced and raised her hand smiling with her teeth.

I was speechless and didn’t know what else to say, this is better of a joke, because.

The man’s voice cuts into my thoughts.

“Now Mr Prince signed this paper”.

He told the Prince and shifted some paper to him.

“I will gladly do that”.

Prince smiled, took the pen and signed them and winked at me.

“Now Ms Valerie, sign over here”he turned the paper to my side,

I chuckled still in disbelief, no way this is real.

“It is a joke anyway”:

I picked a pen and signed on the paper dropped the pen.

“Now what? I am a married woman, good joke!”

I turned to Prince, and said, “I want to go home”,

“Now!”

The man snapped out, then smiled at me.

He is really creeping me out, I wonder why he had such looks.

“She will take care of you,”he concluded and stamped the papers.

An elderly woman came with two young ones , they were a bit overdressed.

“We will prepare you for the photographs honey”.

She said and they took me away heading to a different building. I looked back at Prince and Zoey , they were smiling and waving at me. To me it was as though I was going into a slaughterhouse.

We got to the dressing room and the ladies took off my gym outfit and started doing my makeup and selecting the best outfit too.

“Tell me the truth, this is all a joke right?”

I whispered to a lady who was styling my hair.

She just smiled at me and continued with the hair, why is everyone acting so strange.

The elderly woman came back with a banquet of flowers smiling, she came to me and stuffed it into my hand.

“Tada! The bride is ready”.

I am very sure I am not either a bride or ready. Few minutes later they were done with the touch ups, I was taken to a big mirror to check myself out.

Wow I look great but what is this really about, am I really getting married!

They took me back to the judiciary. Prince turned around and smiled at me. He was dressed in a groom’s suit and looked different with his hair style,

Zoey was standing beside him , she looked like an angel in her white dress and flower crown.

My heart was racing and the others, being the custom designer and other staff present, stood by the side clapping and admiring me as I approached Prince.

I was walking down the aisle! Is this a dream!

I got to where he was standing, he noticed the tears glistening in my eyes.

Today reminded me of Luke and Kamsy’s wedding, I couldn’t help it and became emotional.

“Val…”

He whispered my name and cleaned my face with his hands, cupping my face in his hand. I didn’t look up at him.
