136 Finally dug a hole for herself (1/2)

He soon realized his long stare was enough to make her blush and her attention was on him despite gazing at the wedding ceremony.

Aarvi felt her cheeks burning by the gaze and cupped her face to avoid getting teased but the man was displeased instantly. He locked his leg to her chair leg and pulled it near him leaving her stunned,

'Oh god, what's wrong with him today? Why is he behaving like an infatuated teenager.' She thought as she turned to him.

Aaron didn't care about the gazes and attention he was gathering, he was more like, 'I am watching my wife.' He pulled her hand away from her cheek and clasped his fingers with hers and continued his most important task for the day. 'Savour the view of his soon-to-be the bride.'

He had a wish for the day, to kick the bride and groom of the wedding aside and stand there with his Cupcake and take an oath.

Aarvi instinctively tried to pull her hand for no reason and her heartbeats slightly raised watching their hands on his lap. No doubt, they had held each other's hands many times but they never intertwined their fingers.

Aaron saw her amusement looking at their hands and even noticed her lips curling up but she pulled her hand off twitching his brows. He didn't want to ruin his mood for that so he was quick enough to drop it off without averting his eyes away.

Aarvi who pulled her hand away clasped her both hands together with a frown watching the gap between her palms. Aaron realized Vance never held her hands and he was just a piece of thrash who never gave her a tinge of secureness with him seeing her explore herself.

Accurately knowing what was coming next, he didn't move his hand that was in his leg. Aarvi carefully slid her fingers between his and grinned like a kid who found out new things by her own invention.

”It doesn't leave a gap.” She reported her newfound innovation. Her eyes sparkled like black diamonds reflecting his silhouette, her face had bloomed like a flower waiting to be praised for its beauty.

Dax and Shawn: ”...”

They wanted to pick her up and throw some strong hits on her back and tell her she was still the same innocent Ava who found everything amusing, may it be the smallest chocolate or the master chef dish, may it be a small papercraft or the great invention. This little woman finds good in every stupidest thing.

The duo also knew the credits went to the man next to her who had the whole world of patience and calmness for her. Soon enough they felt it was an excess of dog food watching them looking at each other.

His Cupcake is… a doozy. Amusing him with little silly things.

All this while nobody cared for the eyes which were on them instead of the wedding and they failed to move even when the wedding ended and all started moving to their room for a short rest time before the reception.

...

Dax, Shawn facepalmed looking at Aarvi playing with the wedding gown by twirling, jumping, running as she checked on her outfit before the duo went to their villa.

Aaron followed Aarvi to the villa failing to suppress his smile, entertained by her words, and how she disregarded everything to enjoyed in her own bright happy world.

As she spoke about the wedding dress, she stopped when they were almost at the door, ”How did I look in the pictures of the wedding dress which you erased?”

Aaron noticed her sudden shift of emotions and looked very serious and expectant. Opening the villa door, he took her inside first as he promptly responded, ”If you want me to compare your current style to the past…” He cupped her dainty face, and continued, ”Your most precious adornment is your confidence and then, it was your innocence. Both have their own beauty, they shouldn't be compared.”

'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.' Aarvi remembered it and smiled, shaking her head resignedly. 'This man will like me even if I swim in mud water and come out.' She thought.

Aaron took a step back and held her hand and whirled her as he continued, ”My love was breathtaking in her wedding gown. It's just a pity that I wasn't there to elope with the bride.”

'My love' Aarvi couldn't understand why her face felt hot as soon as hearing him say it. She tried to halt but Aaron twirled her again as he spoke before hovering over her wrapping his arms around.

”If you dare to wear a wedding gown again, Aarvi Evans, I will make you change your name,” Aaron said, dancing to the no music.

Aarvi raised her hand and clutched his blazer moving her head to face him, ”As Aarvi Aaron Rivas?”
