Hola, this bonus is a bit plain to me XD

___

Wedding march echoed in the church and all the family was happy and so the other guests. Dean walked Dianne down the aisle to his son while Dylan was waiting near the priest nervously. He kept looking at the door until he could see Dianne with his Dad.

Dean Junior patted his back while Daniel held his laugh because he found it funny to watch his brother acted like that. Dan, Davis and Dexter also became groomsmen wearing black tuxedo with gelled hair.

Daniel never expected that his younger brother would married before him. He's just too young but he had already responsibilty and nice job so his future wife doesnt need to worry about everything. And his future wife is his baby sister. So many surprised for him.

He saw his dad said something to Dianne which made her blush then laughed. She's beautiful in white long fitted dress and the veil with crown. Dianne dreamed to have that when her wedding came and it comes true.

He heard soft sniffle then he saw who was it. Dylan held his crying as he smiled at Dianne and his older brother still tried to calm him. He was a bit speechless because Dylan is nosey younger brother and he never found him crying except when he was a little boy.

He also saw his younger sister and Dean's wife is blushing then looked away trying not to smile. He rolled his eyes. He was sure Dean did something naughty to her. But he was happy for them because Dean makes her happy. Daphne is still a shy girl and is opposite with her twin. She touched her bump on her mauve dress and yes she is maid of honor. The bridesmaids are Dianne's friends and they wore the mauve dress but with different model from Daphne.

He caught Daphne talked to another bridesmaid and they laughed a bit then they were silent because Dianne arrived. The ceremony goes smoothly but he still stared at the beauty beside his sister.

She was his partner to walk down minutes ago. Why did he just realize? He needed to ask Dianne later.

They took family pictures for the new man and wife. Valentina couldnt keep her tears and Dean had to calm her. Indeed they were happy because Dylan and Dianne were the second couple who got married after Dean and Daphne.

They are waiting their first grandchild and also who is the next one among their boys will bring their future daughter in law.

After both maid of honor and best man did their speech, the DJ announced to let the new couple had their first dance following with the guests and groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Daniel man up and asked his partner to have a dance. She was blushing but but smile at him. He took her hand and they started to dance. He held her waist and never let his eyes turned everywhere. He spinned her and caught her in his embrace. Her face turned red but her smile never vanished.

"sorry, but we dont have proper talk before, " he started when they swayed. "may I ask your name? As you know, I am Daniel-"

" I know, Daniel. Didi told me, " she smiled at him. " I am Maryane Douglas, her collage friend. "

" can I call you Mary? "

"everybody calls me that. "

"good, " he chuckled at his silliness. " do you work? "

"yes. I am an editor at Red Bloomsberg Publishing, " she replied when she was spinned again.

The crowd gone crazy and father-daughter dance already passed. They were into their convo and never paid attention to their surrounding. Daniel caught his Mom gave him known look and she smirked but it was for a second before his Dad took his Mom to their table.

Good, now his mom will tell his dad.

" that is big publishing company. You did a good job there, " he praised her. He didn't flirt but he was honest with his words. "you live alone here? "

"yes. I live in an apartment. It's around the corner, " she touches his shoulder as they did the slow dance. "how about you? "

" I sell cars, " he shrugged as if it's not a big problem.

She hums. She stopped her moving and she pulled away from Daniel.

"where are you going? "

" restroom, " her cheeks turned pink.

"come on, " his hand on her back as they walked out from the dance floor.

She washed her hands and tapped her cheeks with cool water. She sighed and walked out and surprised to find him still there.

" you're still here? "

"of course. You wish I'm gone? "

"no. But I thought..."

"come on, " he took her hand and they sat at the empty table. " you hungry? "

"uhh yeah. . I only have juice before, " she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"you don't drink? "

" I don't want to wake up with a hangover and I prefer wine. I am not good with alcohol. "

"so non alcohol drink, then?"

"yes, " she played her fingers under the table. She was nervous wreck. It's not even her wedding.

The food already put on their table and she didn't know when he ordered the food.

"come on, " he ate his dinner without care because he's hungry.

They had steak with mashed potato and she thought it was non alcohol wine.

" it's good, " she said.

" you don't even taste another dish and the dessert. "

"is that really better than this?" she swallowed her food.

" I let you try then, " he hollered someone who rolled the tray full of food. " what do you want? "

"what? "

" we have pasta, vanilla cheese cake and scalloped."

"that is mouth watering, " she mumbled but he heard what she said.

He chuckled and ask the guy to put the 3 dishes on their table. He thanked him and he continued his dinner.

"do you think it's not too much? "

"why? This is my siblings reception and I can eat whatever I want. "

" uhmm. . Yeah. You're right."

"come on. Try this, " he changed her empty plate with scalloped. She looked at him. "trust me. It's good. "

"but it's my second plate, then," she was embarassed because it looked like she eats like a pig (lol).

" come on," he took plate with pasta as if he told her she was not alone in this.

"okay," after a moment silence they continued their dinner.

*from a far seat*

" I think I know who's next, honey."

Dean saw twinkling in her eyes. He just didn't have idea what is she talking about but when his eyes wandered around he knew what she meant.

" Daniel is quite boy, wife, " he looked at Valentina. " but I can see that girl catches his interest in woman. "

" I know all Didi's closest friends. They are good girl though. "

"would you like to dance again? "

" I think I'll pass. My age makes my feet not strong as before," Valentina chuckled.

" I can give you massage tonight, " Valentina caught something in his eyes.

" you're naughty old man."

" what can I say, I am your husband, " he chuckled as Valentina giggled.

They kissed.

" I love you. "

" love you too, wife. "

Maryane can't stop looking from one to another. They have so much colors and models. She glances at the guy who waiting her patiently as he smiles at her. She keeps opening page to page of booklet full of cars. Finally she can buy her dream car after she saved quite amount of dollars in past few months. She can cry if she want to. And now she can't decide which one she might pick.

" or I can suggest you, ma'am, " the guy asked her politely.

" okay. What do you recommend? "

" first, do you like SUV type or sedan? "

Maryane tapped her chin as she pursed her lips.

" SUV is amazing. It's cool and have amount of space. But it's too big for me. Sedan is more simple and quite elegant but can't be used on the off road.. "

She rambled for herself. She was hard to decide. She groaned frustrately.

" I love them both," she leand her head on the back seat of the couch.

"okay, try to think about the advantage. I think SUV can cover all the minus of the sedan, ma'am, " the guy said again.

" I agree to you about this," she nibbled her thumbnail. " sedan is shorter after all. "

"okay. Do you already decide, ma'am?"

" I want the newest model and maroon is cool. "

"absolutely ma'am. Let me check a moment, " the guy left her as he went to his post and began to click his computer and made some calls.

"is it that hard to decide your dream car? "

She whipped her head to find the source of the familiar voice. She abruptly stood up and faced him.

"hey, what are you doing? " she asked suddenly feeling nervous.

" I told you I sell cars, right? "

She nodded after she remembered what did he say night ago.

"this is my showroom, " he smiled as his hands in his front pockets.

"no way," her jaw dropped making him chuckled.

"yes way, Mary."

" uhhh.. I... It's.. I can't believe you. I thought, " she rambled never finished her words.

" you think I am kind of sales car," she nodded slowly. " well I am not lying I sell cars but I have people works for me. "

"okay. Sorry. "

" it's okay. "

He took her to look around the cars in there as he kept talking to her.

" how long you work as editor? "

" 4 years almost 5."

" why it takes you so long to buy a car? "

" I am saving and I have some bills to pay-"

" you paid your sibling tuition or what? "

" you can say that and my mom needs treatment in the hospital.."

" how about your dad? "

"he passed away long time ago, " she whispered when she answered that.

" I am sorry."

" thank you."

"so, where is your sibling? "

" thank GOD, he got a job 6 months ago and can help me to cover mom's bill. "

"so you took bus to go to work? "

"yeah mostly. Sometimes my friend gives me a ride. "

Silence engulfed them but not that too awkward.

" it must be hard, right? "

" I am used to. I could dicipline myself about time. "

"that's cool, you know. We have our own fight in our life. "

" you talk as you have hard life. "

" when my siblings and I were a little, yes. Thanks to my parents we have a proper life. "

"oh, you are adopted? "

" Dianne didn't tell you? " she shook her head. " we are six kids and she was the youngest. We lived in the orphanage and sister Mariyah was the one looked after us, bless her soul Mama was the first person to come and she always had a time with us. And dad came along then sister died because cancer so they took us in. "

She stared at him as he looked outside from the glass wall.

"but look at you. You make your own life. Your parents must be proud. "

" Mama and Dad, yes. But my real parents.. I don't know and I don't care. The West is my family and they are so proud of me. "

"that's good. "

"ma'am, " the guys hollered her as he came near them. " Mr. West. "

" hey, Jay," he greeted his employe. " I have to go. "

"yeah, go ahead, " Maryane said.

"so, ma'am, your car.... "

Maryane didn't pay attention towards the Jay guy but she caught what he said about her car would be here in 2 weeks and she had to complete the paper and payment.

"thank you, " Jay said after they completed the paper.

They shook hands and she walked out from the showroom. She opened her phone and she got text from her brother, Julian.

I can't meet you to have lunch. We have deadline. Sorry.

J

She replied it's okay, and sent it to him.

She walked down to the nearest cafe. Her stomach made a sound and she was hungry. She heard the honk and looked at her left side.

Daniel was in his black sedan with the passenger's window slided down.

"get in. "

"what? " she crouched down to face him.

"get in! Let's have lunch. "

"but.. "

" it's hot outside. Hurry up before I got someone screamed behind. "

She got in and strapped the belt.

" it is not even that crowd," she said hugging her bag.

"you never know, Mary. It's lunch time after all. "

"where will we eat? "

"Mexican sounds good? "

"uh yes... I miss their spicy cuisine. "

He chuckled.

" you'll get it. "
