20 Wedding (7)

The unfortunate girl who was pushed into the center of the crowd was none other than Zoey. She panicked when she felt a force on her back, probably some latecomer who wanted to join the bouquet tossing. As Zoey protecting her head and her bosoms from a sudden hit, she was already in the middle of the crowd.

She thought will there be a stampede after this? Will she be hurt? OMG! If the worst comes to worst will she break a bone because of them?

People outside the commotion were all clueless of the sudden situation Zoey is facing. Instead, they were cheering and laughing as they saw all the prim and proper ladies became like an Amazon in a split second.

Zoey was internally crying, she wanted to scream for help but her words got stuck in her throat when she felt an object got into her arms while covering her boobs.

People surrounding her instantly created a small circle around her. They were stunned with Zoey's pose. They didn't know whether to laugh or to cry because her pose was definitely hilarious.

Both her hands were cupping her bosoms as she was trying to protect them from someone who will accidentally hit her, her head was down and her eyes closed. The never aimed bouquet of flowers was settled on her left arm that was covering her left boob.

It's now their turn to cry internally because they lost their chance to have the flowers.

The host asked the maidens to diverge, so they could see who the lucky girl was.

Alfie was standing near the center stage and saw Zoey's awkward position. Zoey on the other was unaware that she got the bouquet, and everyone was once again looking at her. Alfie took the initiative to cover her pose with his body and tried to reclaim her back to the present. When Zoey felt an embrace on her shoulder, she opened her eyes and got shocked when she saw Alfie in front of her. Just then she realized that she was still cupping her boobs with both of her hands.

'Stupid Zoey! Stupid Zoey!' She was internally scolding herself. When Alfie asked her if she was back, she nodded and composed herself.

"Our maid of honor definitely got a unique technique to secure the bouquet." The host remark then was followed by the laughter of the crowd.

After composing herself, Zoey stood heads up and smiled. The host immediately interviewed her, asking the reason for her unique pose.

"Hahahaha! You're asking about that? Uhm! Actually, I didn't expect to be in that place; I was just standing at the back when suddenly someone pushed me inside the crowd. Fearing to be hurt or that someone might hit me I decided to cover what I should have to cover." Zoey casually answered. People listening were all laughing and clapping at the same time as they saw it as too hilarious.

When the host called the Nickel and Zoey on the stage, he then realized that they were the bride and grooms best man and maid of honor of the ceremony. Seeing good chemistry between them, he started to ask the wedded couple if both of their comrades were singles.

The wedded couple gave him a malicious gaze while smiling, he then concluded that maybe he could play as a matchmaker to both of them.

"Mr. Fuentes, do you see Ms. Alcantara attractive?" he teasingly asked.

"Babe, should I honestly answer him?" People close to them were all stunned with Nickel's answer while others both male and female felt envious.

As a matter of fact, he called her babe because he saw Michael and America entering the hall. Her act will be put in vain if he will not try to play along.

Hearing his babe endearment to her, Zoey's brows instantly furrowed as was she puzzled why he was calling her 'babe'.

"Never mind, my baby is the most attractive lady here tonight. Sorry, Shane but you're just a runner-up." He jokingly remarked to show the question by answering his own question.

Glancing around, Zoey saw her nemesis entering the hall. After eight long years, this would be the first time for her to see America again.

The host kept on talking and then asked the two if they are ready to perform the tradition.

As the tradition goes, anyone who manages to catch the bridal garter and bouquet will be next to be wed either with their respective partners or to a sudden proposal by someone who's been admiring them for a long time.

It also goes that the man who has the garter needs to put the garment to the leg itself of the woman who catches the bouquet.

Maidens around were once again envious of Zoey. Alfie, on the other hand, was sobbing for his lost opportunity.

Zoey was asked to sit down as Nickel started ascending the garter on her leg. Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara were both happy and worried that some bastard was touching their daughter's leg. Mrs. Alcantara was videoing her daughter and wanted to send it to her Amiga's.

Michael, who was watching along with the crowd wanted to interrupt what is happening but America stopped him.
