Chapter 2: Down the Aisle
Crystal clear water flows from the nearby lake,
Cherry blossoms fell from the trees, your breath it would surely take.
Music gracefully plays from the harp,
Such a melodious tune, start with the C sharp.
Everyone was seated, waiting on the bride,
Shawn's heart rapidly beated, Sally's confidence died.
~In the Dressing Room~
"I can't do this!!!
I thought I could but I can't!!
What if his family doesn't like me?
They didn't approve, we literally went behind their backs to get married and now I'm gonna walk down that aisle, seeing that disapproval in their eyes!!!
I can't I really can't!!"
Sally uttered
"Hey, listen there's no need to panic okay!!
Do you love Shawn?"
Melissa asked
"With all my heart."
She replied
"Does he love you?"
Melissa asked
"Beyond all boundaries!!"
Sally responded
"Then what are you worrying about!!
Girl, that's all that matters!!
If you're gonna stop loving the man that loves you beyond all boundaries just because you didn't get an approval then what's really worth loving?
To keep what you love, you gotta accept the risks, even if it comes from your very own in laws.
So go!! Your husband is waiting and I didn't spend hours doing your hair and makeup, just to have it ruined by tears so come on !!"
Melissa stated
"It's not only that.
Amanda hasn't reached out to me in months!!
It's not like her, yes I know she might with that Castellano guy she ran off with, which is kinda weird cause no one really hears about them ever again but come on!!
I'm your sister for crying out loud; at least call me once in a while!!'
Melissa folds her lips and looks the other way
"Maybe she just wants to move on and leave everything behind..."
Melissa stated
"But this is my wedding, she wouldn't miss this."
Sally replied
"I mean she ditched you on the day to pick your dress so she could go out with Raphael."
Melissa uttered
"She never truly cared."
Sally uttered in a low tone
Melissa felt bad inside knowing what actually went down but unable to tell her
"Listen, today is your day!!
This is your moment, so we'll meddle in a things of the past once we've secured your future.
If Manda wanted to be her, she would be and that's on her.
Don't blame yourself for being a bad s sister, because you aren't."
Sally smiled and hugged her
"I got you and even as your maid of honour it makes it twice as important.
I'll see you at the altar okay!!!
Now go queen!!! You got this!!
Oh and remember to walk with Glam!!!"
Melissa uttered
Melissa; now at the altar with the bridesmaids but Shawn was missing his best man.
She could not believe her eyes when she recognized all that glam.
Simple yet profound, elegantly captivating,
It was David Delefrente, whom her best friend was dating.
He arrived on the scene standing now beside the groom,
But all eyes were on him, such an attraction within the room.
It was relatively cool outside, but the ladies felt the heat,
They were dying for the reception, David Delefrente they all wanted to meet.
He looked across the bridal party, it was so x-rated,
Knowing that all those bridesmaids, he has already seen naked.
Melissa looked at him from head to toe and was dumbfounded,
It's been months since she saw him as she left Don Perico after the incident.
The violin started to play, the ceremony finally started
As Sally walked down the aisle, her support was wholehearted.
Shawn tried to hold back tears, seeing how stunning she looked,
They weren't married as yet, but he's already hooked.
She walked with elegance and joyous tears,
She saw smiles on her in laws faces, she no longer fears.
She arrived at the altar, seeing Shawn's eyes,
Her eyes flooded with water as her heart cries.
"You ever noticed they called priest father, because it would be too seductive to call them daddy?"
David whispered to Shawn
Shawn nudges him as he tries not to laugh
"Dearly beloved; we are gathered here today to unite the hearts of Salina Belova and Rushawn Cato into holy matrimony."
The priest uttered
As the ceremony progressed, David realized that he didn't see Caesar in the crowd.
Usually he'd notify him of his arrival and as such, David got a bit concerned.
He whispered in his earpiece to have his men check on him
"If there is anyone here who believes that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your piece."
The priest spoke
"I believe they should have gotten married from the very day they met!!"
Someone shouted from the crowd
To David's surprise it was Amanda as she stood up and stated directly at him.
Sally smiled to see that she actually came, Melissa on the other hand was shocked to see her making such an entrance knowing that it was mere mercy of her father's loyalty to the Delafrentes, why David allowed her to live.
David's eyes shrunk smaller and smaller as he gets infuriated.
He instantly knew she being here had something to do with Caesar's absence and Carlos disappearance.
He didn't care about his cover and more as he reaches for his pistol-
"We felt the same way as well!!!"
Melissa shouted as she came over and held David's hand
"To Shawn and Sally!!"
Melissa shouted
"To Shawn and Sally!!!"
The crowd cheered
"By the power entrusted in my by the father, the son and the holy spirit in the congregation of these witnesses; I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride."
The priest declared
Smiles, cheers and joy filled the atmosphere as their lips collided.
The cherry blossoms stimulated the perfect mood for the bride and groom.
Warm wishes, hugs and kisses,
Dancing and singing, but Amanda's presence was lost,
David caught Melissa as she almost fell while the boquet was tossed.
She eventually caught it, as Shawn smiled
David assisted her to her feet in which she also smiled
David went into the town to meet up with his men in regards to Caesar's disappearance,
However he found a brown paper bag on the bench in the park where he scheduled to meet them.
He walked over to the bench, picked up the bag and inside were 3 rings; each belonging to Roberto, Samir and Juanita.
He quickly drove over to the pizzeria which was closed for the day, he unlocked the door and when inside where he found Caesar lying in a pool of his own blood.
David fell to his knees,
He cried, he wept, he screamed, he completely brokedown as he held hm in his arms with his blood all over his suit.
Couple hours after the wedding, Shawn learns about Caesars death and quickly lended his support.
Melissa knew how much Caesar really meant to David and knew this wasn't going to end well.
Tears could not stop flowing from David's eyes as he took his death to the core.
He was the only living father figure left in his life, now he has no family left anymore .
Exiling Amanda was strictly business but she killing Caesar made it personal as David will stop at nothing to ensure her inevitable demise.
He got up, got in his car and drove off with a concerning about of speed.
"David!!!
David!!!
Where is he going?"
Shawn enquired
"I don't know, but wherever he is; with that mindset, it's nothing good!!"
Melissa replied
