My fairytale wedding.
If anyone asked me how I got here, I wouldn'+ know how to explain, but here I am standing opposite the hottest man to ever walk on the earth's surface. We are so close that we're veritably breathing the same air, with each of us acting like we were taking in only small amounts at a time, as if taking in generous amounts might deprive the other of adequate air. We are standing under the dry, windy weather, the very one that has people's lips cracked, leaves their skin flaky when a generous amount of emollient isn't applied, and makes dried brown leaves fall from trees, this way and that with the wave of the wind, until they land helplessly on the ground. For some personal reasons, one of which is that it always leaves my skin glowing.
Harmattan season has always been my favourite time of the year. Little wonder why I decided to have my wedding during this time. My yellow spotless skin that got me dubbed "yellow paw paw" shines through my black dress, with my fleshy arms popping through the netted sleeves of
my dress. 'm having my dream wedding. it's surred my choice ouffit. the white roses, my white tiara, the open-air venue with the rush of warm wind on our faces and wind swaying the fringes on my dress. The impeccable blend of brown and cream of the décor, the pink Bougainvilloeg around a v-shaped steel structure we have our backs to but facing the audience the round tables with about four white chiavari chairs encircling them--everything seems perfect.. His black Tux, his dreamy eyes, the luminous perfection of his coffee velvety skin, his constant squeezing of my hands, which is reassuringly cute, his cocky skewed smile, which revealed his cotton wool-coloured perfect teeth, and his hollowed cheeks, which look like accessories, make me smoulder down there. The time has come--the time for him to unveil me so we can share a kiss-the time I've been looking forward to: "Cynthia, Cynthia. A familior voice joits me awake with beads of sweat on my forenead, and I realise it's been a dream.
