Chapter 27: Engagement

Amelia's pov

It has been a month since Grammy's death. Noah has stood like a rock with me. All of my friends had tried their best to comfort me. she is no more with me but her blessings will be always with me. I know she is watching me from heaven.

Next week is my engagement with him. I have never thought that I will get married to him under such circumstances. It was my grandma's last wish.

My grammy and his grandma has arranged our wedding when we had gone on the trip. They were going to break this news on the day when grandma died.

Noah has also agreed for the marriage. It was quite shocking for me. I thought he agreed in front of my grandma just to respect her.

I realised that I really love him. I am lucky that I am going to marry him. But I don't know about his feelings. Is he doing this marriage because his grandma wants

Today I am going for shopping with Noah's grandma and Suzy. I will meet them in the mall.

After 10 minutes I reached the mall.

I wish Grammy was here. I really miss her.

.

.

.

.

Hey !! I greeted Suzy and grandma.

Hii Suzy said hugging me. Grandma pecked me on the cheek greeting me.

Let's go for shopping Suzy shrieked like a Teenage girl.

Grandma and I laughed at her childishness.

I don't even remember how many dresses I have tried. Nothing has caught my attention. I don't know what I will wear for my engagement. I think I will have to wear jeans and t shirt.

I didn't like any dress I told them.

Don't worry Amelia we will find you a dress Grandma said in a cheerful voice. Suzy nodded at her.

I hope so I muttered.

We started walking towards other shops. A light blue dress caught my eyes. This is the one.

How I am looking I showed them.

You are looking like a goddess Suzy said.

This dress is perfect like it has been made for you, Noah will be all over you  Grandma said winking at me.

A blush rose into my cheeks. Both of them started teasing me.

Now that's enough, let's pay for the dress I told them. I tried to pay for the dress, but grandma didn't allow me.

Next week

The week passed by blur. Today is my engagement with Noah. There is a little tingling sensation in my tummy. I am feeling scared and excited at the same time.

But I am feeling a little bit bad that he is doing this marriage just for the sake of his grandma. He deserves to be fall in love with someone, not me.

This guilt is eating me. If he falls in love with someone in future. Then he will leave me for someone else.

Amelia Suzy snapped at his fingers at in front of me.

Yeah !! I replied.

You dozed off she said.

I was just thinking about something I  replied to her.

Thinking about Noah she said teasing me.

No no, I replied.

Let's get ready for the party she said in a cheerful voice. I wore my dress and heels.  They are so beautiful.

Our car pulled out at the venue and we had kept this engagement a low aware. Only close friends. Noah is a very private person he didn't want a big engagement.

I and Suzy entered the venue. All of them are already here. Noah is looking so good with a tuxedo.

I started walking toward him at a slow pace. Now I am in front of him.

You are looking beautiful he said to me in a deep velvety voice.

Thank you I replied to him.

I am pretty nervous standing here awkwardly. Deep inside this guilt is eating me. He is marrying me out of love. Can I do this to him? I thought to myself.

Good evening all of you ...as you know all of us are gathered here for the engagement of my best friend Noah and Amelia.... let's start this engagement  Kevin said in a cheerful voice.

I can't do this to him. Should I cancel this engagement? But this was my Grammy's last wish. Should I be taking advantage of him?

Where are the rings Grandma asked?

Here Aiden replied.

Let's cancel this engagement I said.

What? Everyone gasped. I know this is shocking. But I can't do this to him.

I grabbed his arm and lead him to the balcony.

Why? He asked in a neutral voice. His posture is stiff. His  face is void of any emotions . I can't read his face.

From where should I start I really like him. I want to do this so I won't regret in the future. I want to clear all things with him.

I know you are marrying me because of your grandma. I want you to marry someone who you love from your heart. I know you think of me as a friend. If you find someone else in your future, then you will leave me for her. I don't want to suffer from heartbreak. Noah you deserve to fall in love with someone with whom you want to spend your rest of life. I don't want to be a liability . You don't need to worry about your grandma I will tell her that this is my decision .....but I want to try my luck and confess something  Noah please give me chance I will do my best, I want you to be happy with me,  I will make your heart turn towards me, I want you to give us a chance  I rambled.

Why would I love someone else? When I already love you  Noah said.

What ?? He loves me. A warm feeling fuzzed in my stomach. I never thought he will love a ordinary girl like me . I think I should tell him about my feelings. This is the best day of my life. I don't know how to describe this unknown emotion.

I love you too I replied. I have finally confessed my love for him.

I have never thought you will confess me indirectly and from where you get that idea that I will leave you for someone else you silly girl he said hugging me.

I am the luckiest man to have you in my life and I will cherish you forever he said crushing me into his chest.

His lips are dangerously close to me. One wrong movement his lips would touch mine. Then he pressed his soft plumps lips on mine. I am standing like a statue. He added slight pressure on my lips earning a groan from me.

My lips started moving with his lips in sync. My legs eventually gave up and he held me from the waist trying to support me. My hands wrapped around his neck pulling him more toward me. My hands started moving unconsciously through his hair. His hairs are so soft and silky. I would love to play with hairs.

I don't know how long we were kissing. This was my first kiss. Now I am panting heavily because of lack of oxygen. It's like I have run a marathon.

His forehead touched mine. We were just standing in each other's embrace enjoying this moment.

The wolf-whistling pulled me away from the Noah. A blush rose into my cheeks. All of them are standing watching us. Oh god !!! They have seen us kissing.

Let's go Noah said holding my hand.

All of them hooted.
