Almost Superb
The scene is set to perfection! The two love birds were placed on opposite ends of the open field, getting ready for the great reveal. On one end, near the a patch of daisies and lavender, was Benedict Small. His usual unruly hair was swept back to excellence, with a tux accented with gold, and the ring sat clenched in his hand. The young man paced, doubts clouding his thoughts. Already creating a track in the flowers, Benedict was so nervous that he just couldn’t even think straight. Love will do that you, though.
On another side of the luscious field was Nyomi Monet. Her fiery red locks cascaded down her back in loose ringlets, flowers laid in the crown of her head, and her dress flared out like the blooming of pure white rose. A smile was permanently plastered on her lips, and excitement buzzed through her. Now, unlike Benedict, Nyomi had waited for this day since her mother’s own wedding. Since then, she had planned, gushed, and dreamed about the day she would find her one. And she had! He was the love of her life and the fulfiller of her younger selfs every dream. She wasn’t quite nervous but rather filled with anticipation and joy. Well, wouldn’t we all be!
Now only a few moments until they would met, Benedict planted his feet in the ground. There was no point in being nervous because He loved Her! That was all that matter and coming up any moment, he would make her his forever! After one more deep breath, he started to walk. Not quickly, but swiftly, through the field.
And so did she.
He couldn’t quite she her yet but the nervousness that consumed him a short time ago fluttered into excitement. He began to quicken his pace; he just had to see her!
She moved with grace, almost floating through the field before her, waiting to gaze upon her love! Her pace, once slow and timely, became faster. Happiness taking over her ever step. And then, just a few feet away, stood a breathed Benedict in all his striking glory! From here, she could see the suit seem a bit strained around the arms. She only laughed, she had told him to size up on the suit! But never mind that, she burst into a run, smile growing bigger.
His breath was suddenly gone! She was so beautiful. The white of her dress clashes with her bright red hair in a battle of intensity, but it worked for her. She was running towards him, smiling so big, and without warning he found himself running too!
The two met, breathing heavy, and embraced each other! It was almost as if the rest of the world disappeared and they were the only ones there. In each other’s arms was the only place they ever truly wanted to be. But when the broke apart, something very unexpected happened! Benedict smiled down at her for only a second when his face contorted to one of disgust. And without as much as a warning, he doubled over and threw up!
Nyomi, shocked by her almost fiancés state, dropped to her knees, catching Benedict’s body as it collapsed!
