Heart of the Past

Amelia POV

It’s my wedding day! I’m excited!. Well after the trip to Paris, Dylan and I started dating and he proposed after two years at the Eiffel tower in Paris.

That morning, my mother had spoken a few words of encouragement to me. She told me to have a happy and lovely life. I cried as she wished me well. I love my mother…

“I’m happy for you love and your father must be proud,” she said and hugged me

I choose Sophia to become my chief bridesmaid. Diana? and Anna were among the bridesmaids.

Anna and I became friends years ago and she was happy that Dylan and I finally got back together. She became happy too as she found a man who loves her as she loved him.

Kelly… Kelly, well she was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for the crimes she committed. It’s served her right.

The song a thousand years by Christina Perri played as I walked down the aisle dressed in a mermaid silhouette gown accompanied by Larry my best friend forever. Well, he and Dylan settled their rift over the years and they became friends again.

? heart beat fast, colors and promises

How to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall.

Watching you stand alone, all of my doubt’s suddenly go away somehow.

One step closer?

Larry placed my hand into Dylan’s who was dressed in a blue tuxedo. Larry mouthed a word to him before walking away.? from the movement of his lips, I could hear what he said. “Take care of her”.

“Do you Dylan Blackstone take Amelia brown as your beloved wife. To love, to care for, to hold, in sickness and in health. Till death do you part? “the priest asked.

“Yes I do” Dylan stared at me and smiled as he replied to the priest.

“Do you Amelia brown take Dylan Blackstone as your beloved husband. To care for, to hold, in sickness and health till death do you part?”

“Yes, I do”I laughed as the tears of joy flow down my face. I was really happy that at last Dylan was mine.

The priest asked us to exchange the rings and say our vows.

“With this ring Amelia, I pledge to love you forever. I almost lost you and I’m never going to take that chance again. I love you with all my heart. You are the best thing that had ever happened to me.”Dylan confessed and put the ring on my finger.

I Smile and cried at the same time at his confession.?

“Dylan, today in front of everyone I confessed my love to you. I love you so much even though you were a big bad boss” I joked and everyone laughed including Dylan. “It’s all in the past now”I chuckled and continued… “I promise to cherish and love you till the end Dylan. I promise to be a good mother to our children and a good wife to you” I said my vows and placed the ring on his finger.

“With this, I now pronounced you both man and wife. You may now kiss the bride”the priest declared.

Dylan pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. Yay, I’m married.

The crowd all cheered and clapped for us as we walked down the aisle.? The song by Christina Perri continues playing in the background.

? one step closer

? ?? One step closer!!!

I have died every day waiting for you.

Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years.

I love you for a thousand more.

All along I believed, the time has bought your heart to me.

Five years later.

Dylan POV

Two brown-haired girls jumped on the bed as they try waking me up with their tiny hands.

“Daddy!!!! Wake up!! “They both shouted at the same time.?

“I’m up, up “I groaned and stood up from the bed. Well three years after our wedding, we had our bundle of joy. Amelia gave birth to two girls which we named Amanda and Daphne after our names. (Amelia and Dylan).

“Where is mummy? “I asked them as I carried them on my shoulders to the kitchen.

“There! “Daphne pointed at Amelia who was busy making breakfast for us.

“Good morning baby” I dropped the kids and walked to her. I circled my hand around her waist and kissed her.

“Good morning baby” she turned and kissed me on the lips.

“What’s are you cooking? ”

“Pancakes” she replied and I funnily licked my lips.

“Hmmmmm, tempting “I winked at her. She smiled and circled her hand around my neck and we began to kiss but the shouts of the kids pulled us apart.

“Daddy, Amanda won’t let me watch sponge Bob square pants “Daphne stomped her leg on the kitchen floor, something she does when she’s angry.

“Go daddy “Amelia mouthed and laughed. I glared at her before walking to Daphne.

“Okay, Okay. daddy is here “I took her hand and we both walked to the living room.

“Amanda, what are you watching?”

“Barbie but Daphne won’t let me watch it in peace” Amanda whined.

I facepalmed myself and let out a groan. This happens almost every day and each time I had to settle the argument.

“Okay girls, listen up. Why don’t I tell you a story about your mother and me”

“Really?? Go on daddy” Daphne sat down on my legs to listen while Amanda rested her head on my arm.

“Your mother and I were……. “I started the story and when I was finished they both smiled and hugged themselves. Well I told them about forgiveness and how it helps a lot

“Let’s watch barbie first and then we’ll watch sponge Bob square pants” Amanda proposed and Daphne nodded in agreement.

“Food is ready” Amelia announced. This made the children jump and ran to the dining hall.

“you tell a nice story daddy”Amelia teased, I grabbed her from behind and placed kisses on all parts of her body. “Stop it Dylan “she laughed as I tickled her.

“That’s was fun,” I said and kissed her.

“Yeah, come on the kids are waiting”. She replied and pulled my hand to the dining hall.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Well sometimes the heart never really forgets the past, forgiveness is all that’s matters

The end…..
