"Welcome to the final show.... Hope you're wearing your best clothes" March sang the new Harry Styles single

"Stop it March!!!" Allison groaned in irritation "This song doesn't match the situation" she threw the pillow on her face which she skillfully dogged it away

"Ya... Sign of the times is about death not wedding" Gracy too supported Allison to which March made a bad face

"Ok... How about it.. It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you" She sang Bruno Mars song loudly and earned an applauds from both

"Perfect Song" Allison praised the choice of song

"You have a great voice sweetie" Gracy complimented March and she smiled and bowed down in return

Natalia was watching the trio with a wide smile on her face and twinkling stars in her eyes. She gulped her saliva and stopped herself from crying. She can't ruin the perfect moment nor can her makeup. It took almost four hours to get her dressed like a fairy.

At first the makeup artist did goddy kind of makeup that March didn't like so they had to redo it. The second time they did smoky Party kind makeup to which Allison and Gracy both lashed out on the artists. Later at their help was Aaron. He asked them to give her a minimal yet lookable and adorable Princess Fairy kind of bridal makeup and she actually ended up looking like a Princess Bride.

Natalia wasn't allowed to do any kind of work nor help them through the preparation. All she did was order and people were at her service within seconds. She was 24*7 under protection and strict security. There was always a man with her. May it be Allen, Austin or Aaron.

"Natalia... You listening" Allison called her

She looked at them smiled half heartly "Something is wrong babe" March asked to which she declined

"Then why sad???" Gracy asked caressing her hair

"Just a little nervous" she lied

Like every other girl even Natalia had a dream of marrying someone she loves but that didn't happen. It not like she regrets marrying Ashton but there is still a part of her sad for Nicholas. Today Nicholas wasn't the reason she was sad, the actual reason was a Father. Father's walk their daughter through the aisle but in her case she doesn't even know who's mistake is she.

"Natalia I wanted to say something" Allison grabbed her attention. Allison had a scared look on her face which sad she wasn't going to give any good news

"Spill it Ally" Natalia said her heart drumming twice it's speed

"You know right!! After the vows you need to kiss" Allison said hesitantly while March and Gracy shared a sad look

"Natalia for pretending sake you need to kiss him" Gracy tried to convince her but her condition was something different

The word kiss reminded her of last night. She remembered the way he sucked her both the lips and savored the taste of every inch of her lips. It was her first kiss with Ashton and it was deep, intense and electrifying. Although she had kissed Nicholas before but yesterday's Ashton kiss was rough yet alluring. At the end when he licked her lower lip that was it. Her panties dampen and all she could think was kiss.

"The same way I'm gonna kiss you tomorrow" he whispered near her lips and smacked it last time before pulling away

All the while she stood surrendered in front of him like a mice at cats mercy. She wouldn't deny he was one neck gorgeous man and the kiss was something she never had it before. All the while they didn't have any kind of conversation all they could hear were heartbeats. Later he dropped her at her apartment and made sure she was under complete security.

When the morning arrived the girls packed all Natalia's luggage and practically kidnapped her to a place where there were trees and a farm house away from the whole paparazzi and media. Her another wish came true. A Private Wedding. March looked at Natalia and thanked her. Both the women's hugged each other and in few minutes it turned into a group hug.

They blindfolded her and took her into the farm house till her room and caged her until evening. All she needs was present in the room and what more she wants she would get just by a phone call.

She was nervous, wrecked, freaking out but out of all she was excited. All her dreams regarding the wedding became a reality. She was too much thrilled to see one more dream turn into reality. Her Dream Wedding. The white gown she wore was v neck long full length gown. Her blonde hair were tied in a bun with a brochure. She wore diamond stilettos and a white flower bouquet.

"Let's leave girls...." they heard Austin outside of the door

"What is he doing over here??" March's eyebrow furrowed in confusion while Allison and Gracy gave her a teasing look

"Is something I'm unaware???" Natalia asked looking at the trio and their eye talk

March glared at them and opened the door. Austin had worn a three piece suit with a tie which made him look ten times more sexier then he was before. While after looking at March Austin forget for what he came for. He starred at her with lust in his eyes. The red strapless dress did nothing but provoked his little friend caught down there in his pants.

(Austin's Outfit)

"Austin why are you here???" Allison came from behind and broke their eye contact

"Can I come in??"

Both the girls move aside and let him inside the room. He looked at Natalia with a warm smile and scratched the back of his hair.

"Natalia I never had a sister before but after I met you I found a sibling" said Austin. He was shy and quiet nervous to say it "You don't own a family but babe after today you do. Not as Natalia Ashton Cross but as my sister. I'll be at your service whenever you need this brother in your life" She smiled while a lone tear slipped her eye she hugged him tightly letting him know she does feel the same. "Will you do the honour of letting me walk you through the aisle" he asked breaking the hug and yet another of her dream came true.

A brother walking her through the aisle

She nodded her head and cried on his chest. He like a patient brother patted her back and kissed her hair. The girls present smiled at the turn of events and loved the decision Austin took.

Austin took her hand in his and lead the way. The trio followed him outside of the house. The moment the huge main door of the house opened there stood a Cinderella Carriage elegant coach waiting for her. For quite a few seconds she stood stunned.

Another Dream a Reality

(Cinderella Carriage)

Tears started gathering in her eyes. When did she got so lucky?? How did her destiny be so kind with her??? Why didn't she love Ashton before??? Why can't she love him??

Austin and Natalia sat in the princess carriage bubble and went to the backyard of the house where the ceremony held while the girls walked ahead of them. The trio wore the same dress. Allison had strings, March was strapless and Gracy had a veck neck sleeve dress. The Canon D music started to play in the background letting the people know Bride is going to arrive.

(Gracy - Allison - March)

Ashton stood at the stage in all his handsome glory. The Devilishly handsome body, sinfully sexy smile and eyes filled with pure love. He looked around and found just few people attending this auspicious occasion of his life.

His Wedding

(Ashton's Outfit)

He looked around and found his parents and family along with his friends family and a collective few friends. And Veronica. The women he hated. He had made sure once the vows are done she is dragged out of the place back where she belongs.

Veronica didn't wanted Gracy to attend the wedding but then Natalia wanted Gracy, she was her sister. He made Hundred Thousand Dollars for Gracy per day just so that she could attend the wedding. Veronica was here not for the wedding but for money that she got.

(Entrance decor)

(The Private Wedding at the backyard)

Ashton saw Natalia at the entrance with her arm linked with Austin. The bridesmaids stood with their respective partners and welcomed the bride showering rose petals on her. Natalia was crying she literally was. She couldn't think of a better man than Ashton. He was perfect. Then why can't she love him??

As she walked ahead not caring to look at anyone threw her veil just glued her eyes on her man, the song played in the background just made her stop in her tracks

You and I were meant to be God made you,

just for me Baby,

I'll love you always By your side I will stand Walk with you,

hand in hand From this day on,

our love will stand strong

As I declare...

She looked at him and he gave a crooked full smile which melted her heart. Is this actually a compromise ?? Her heart asked.

Austin and Natalia started walking again and then the beats changed to a melody which is always cherished.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

She looked at Ashton as the music played. She couldn't anything except for excitement. He nodded his head and smiled at her as the lines continue. Ashton promised her through his eyes.

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you

I'll love you for a thousand more

Natalia reached the altar at her man. Austin placed her hand on his and smiled at her. He looked at Ashton with a serious face and said "Take care of her" like a brother he is.

"With my life" he vowed to him.

They stood side by side each other hand in hand. She could feel eyes on her back but that didn't matter her Savior was beside her. Her heart and mind both were on one side. Can't she love him??

"Today we are gathered here to witness the wedding of Ashton David Cross and Natalia Laura Hayes....." Ashton wasn't listening he was in his own dream world.

His mind was crowded with her thoughts. The way she looked today, the way she had held hia hand firmly and the image of their kiss last night played in his mind. He can and will never forget the touch of her lips. Soft and fluffy.

"Please say the vows..." Priest said and looked at Ashton

"I, Ashton David Cross , take you Natalia Laura Hayes , to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." Ashton said looking deep into her eyes

"I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together.

With my whole heart, I take you as my wife, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.

I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person-my love and my life, today and always." Ashton in his vows.

"I, Natalia Laura Hayes , take you Ashton David Cross, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part" Said Natalia

"You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you." she added and he along with others laugh

"I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you." She said with a faint smile. Even Ashton was on the edge of his breakdown but he controlled his tears and smiled.

"Ashton David Cross, do you take Natalia Laura Hayes to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" he said in a second

"Natalia Laura Hayes, do you take Ashton David Cross to be your wedded husband, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" she said clutching his hand tightly

"I know pronounce you as legally wedded husband and wife" the priest announced. Everyone gathered around clapped as loud as they could. The only person wasn't happy was Veronica.

"You may kiss the bride..." finally the priest said.

He unveil her face and looked at her with all his love. She was his. His wife. He leaned forward while her heart beated thrice it's normal speed. She felt her heart could any moment come out. He cupped her cheeks and went closer to her.

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

He stopped a little away and whispered on her lips "Don't hold back!!! I deserve at least a wedding kiss" he said and pressed his lips on her.

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Fireworks exploded in her stomach. Every hair on her body stood at attention at the contact of their lips. He sucked her lower lip while she sucked his upper lip. Yes she kissed him back. He kissed her deeply. The touch of his lips made her feel love and cherish. The kiss was mind-blowing, heart-stopping. His hands went at her waist and pulled her to his chest. He invaded her lips and deepened the kiss. The kiss was all controlling, demanding, enthralling, possessive and out of all invading.

He broke the kiss once found her breathless. For a second she couldn't open her eyes. She was thankful he had her caught or she might just fell due to a kiss.

The crowd cheered loudly whistling and passing comments. She blushed on their remark when their eyes met her cheeks turn into shade of Violet and he liked the look on her face. She hugged him tightly hiding her face in his chest.

The kiss was enough for him live his entire life without touching her. But a bigger part of him now that has got a taste of her craved for her like a wild animal, a beast.

A/N: Hello Lovies!!! Surprise Surprise an early update. Damn even I couldn't wait for their wedding. So what do you think the beast gonna do. What will Natalia do. Stay tuned for all the ups and downs.
