My tormentor at the wedding reception

A heartfelt romantic song, "A thousand years" by Christina Perri blurred through the beautiful, blooming garden, where the wedding reception is taking place. As the newly married couple in the block, AJ and Audrey took to the dance floor to have their wedding dance.

I watched them with glassy eyes that were housing little tears, and with a smile on my face. My attention is divided between staring at them and gazing at Brad who stood at the other side of the garden watching me with his spellbound eyes.

And it feels like we are the only ones in the world as our eyes are pinned together.

Emotions were spiraling through me.

I nestled the champagne flute in my grasp, attempting to have a taste.

Then he took a step. He is approaching me.

My lungs freeze up, and I sat locked in my seat.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked when he pulled a chair and sat beside me at the table I was sharing with Alice and Kayden.
