Chapter 916 - The Dream That Belonged To Her (1/2)
”Pfft!”
”Dylan, don't you know no matter how sensible Jackie is, he still won't go against Xiu?” Nora looked at Dylan as if she was looking at an idiot.
”A bunch of bullies you all are,” muttered Dylan.
After Dylan, Nora also stood up to make a toast and started with, ”Good evening everyone! I'm happy you all joined us on this special day. Unlike Dylan, I'll be keeping it short.” She faced Xiu and continued, ”Xiu darling, becoming your friend I never thought you'd become my everything over time. But you did without me even realizing it. While trying to be your memory manual, I came to discover you all over again.” Xiu's face stiffened slightly while Nora added, ”But I didn't just re-discover you, I came to find a new meaning of our friendship as well.” Xiu smiled softly at her. ”I still remember the days I used to push you to hit on our new neighbor. But considering how stiff you had been becoming over years, I thought you needed a push. However, I was so wrong about that.”
Xiu chose to cover her face with her hands while Nora chuckled, ”You weren't becoming a nun. You're just waiting for that one person who could evoke the craziness in you. And that person happened to be Darren. I was so shocked when you called him over in the park and you wanted to teach him the art of sightseeing.”
”Stop it!” gritted out Xiu.
Nora laughed louder, ”Even though you guys have been married for months, you've always acted more like lovers. Lovers who loved to make my days sour with their overload of sweetness.” She raised a toast and continued, ”May you remain the lovers for all your life. Here's a toast to love, laughter, and happily ever after.”
While Xiu lifted her glass to take a sip of the juice, Nora also followed Dylan's example and added, ”Oh, I forgot to remind you. The right order of a relationship doesn't start with a kiss.”
”Shut up, Nora!”
Nora grinned at her before sticking her tongue out. There weren't many people here who knew how Xiu and Darren started dating but Nora was clear about that drunk kiss that led to both of them asking each other out. She had loved to remind Xiu that she didn't follow the right order.
”Newlyweds, are you ready for your first dance?”
Darren looked at Xiu and offered his hand, ”Is it alright?” She nodded. ”Then may I have the honor to dance with you milady?”
Xiu slid her hand into his and replied, ”Yes, you may.”
♪♪What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawin' me in, and you kickin' me out
You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'
I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
