Wedding Day Blues

[xLuxG]

Claire was set to marry Jackson in a matter of a few hours and only now were the wedding day blues beginning to show. Cold feet was one thing, but this was something entirely different. A woman was supposed to marry a man due to the love they shared for one another, not because her parents wanted her to marry into a rich family; that was plain wrong. But here she was, set to marry Jackson and all his riches. Things were never as simple as that though. Claire had had someone else on her mind as of late and today it was all she could think about. Lily St. Claire, her childhood best friend and had been since kindergarten.

With her long blonde hair, golden in the sun and darker after it had been wet. She was no match for any woman or for any man at that. Her skin was fair and her body slender yet it still managed to curve in all the right places. Her bright blue eyes always captivated Claire, it never mattered what she was saying. Compared to Claire, the bride to be, Lily was a ten and Claire came lagging behind at a seven or an eight. Speaking of which, Claire was currently standing in front of the full length mirror dressed from head to toe in white. Her shoulder length brunette locks were braided up with a few single strands curled down the sides of her face for added effect. She felt dirty looking at herself dressed in such a flawless color. They say that white is pure, but Claire felt far from that today.

Just when things couldn't get any worse, a knock on the door was heard. Thinking it was one of her bridesmaids, Claire allowed them to enter without a second thought, only to instantly wish she had never let her enter.

It was Lily.

She had sent Claire a text just last night outlining every last reason as to why Claire shouldn't go ahead with the wedding. She had dismissed her thoughts with a simple 'goodbye Lily x' and thought nothing more of it; until this morning of course. "What are you doing here, Lily? You can't be here, not today." She didn't want anything going wrong today, though everything still felt wrong. The only thing that possibly felt right right now was that Lily was there with her no matter how much she wished to deny it.

lily had tried anything. Being Claire's friend for such a long time, she knew deep inside her that jackson wasn't the man for her. It was a huge mistake. The idea of Claire marrying someone else than herself was a terrible thing for Lily's heart, but marrying that guy was far worse. He wouldn't take care of her. he was too much into his job and carrer. And he was loving Claire's ffamily money more than CLaire herself.
Claire had not taken well the fact that Lily had refused to be her bridesmaid. From there, Lily had not been invited to the wedding. but Lily couldn't agree with the wedding. She could not support her friend in this. She tried until the last moment to stop her. As Claire didn't answer her calls, she sent tons of texts, but got only one answer.
There was still time to change her friend's mind. After all, Lily had feelings for Claire. They had kissed once, as foolish drunk teenagers, and almost got really far, but Claire stopped before it was really intimate. But Lily had real feelings for Claire. And she had to stop this folly. She had to change Claire's mind and make her realize how bad this wedding was. How...? Would she have to tell her about her own feelings?

Lily burst at Claire's place. Her friend had slept not at the appartment she shared with jackson but had returned to the family house in order to get ready for that special day. Lily arrived in her long blus silky dress and entered. She was enough known by the people in the house for not being stopped. She wasn't supposed ot be at the wedding, so she had put on more simple clothes, a floating mid-long skirt along with a nice little top.

"What are you doing here, Lily? You can't be here, not today."

Lily looked into Claire's eyes...

- I do need to be here, especially today, Claire. There is something I have to tell you...

Claire was immediately flustered. Her mind was working overtime as she tried to piece everything together in a matter of seconds. But she couldn't do it. She looked at Lily dressed in a lovely blue number. She missed the days where they would go out shopping for hours and hours, picking out different outfits for each other and dressing up in them on nights out together.

All of that had changed now, however, as Claire was about to marry into a different family. Jackson's family to be exact. "No, Lily, no. Please.. not here and not now." She was begging her friend not to ruin things for her, though she knew deep down that things were already ruined. "You have to tell me now of all the times you could have picked?" Claire sighed, frustrated that everything was going south. "You have to come here to tell me something on my wedding day??" Claire was desperate to know what was so important, but she didn't want Lily to know that.

She moved away from Lily, not wanting to get too close to her as she still had things to do. She looked at herself in the mirror once more and saw a different side to herself. "Why are you doing this, Lily? Why now?" She glanced at her friend in the mirror, seeing her stood a few feet behind her now.

Lily approached slowly, taking her time to look at her friend in that beautiful white dress, making her so sex and desirable. From behind, and the front in the mirror, everything was just perfect. She stepped closer and stood right behind Claire, not daring to touch her. She made eye contact through the mirror.

- You never listened, Claire. It's the last moment for me. You cannot marry him. That's not the life you want, I know this. I have to prevent that wedding from happening.

Lily's eyes were pleading, begging.

 

[xLuxG]

Claire's heart was beating as fast as she thought humanly possible. She looked directly into her friend's eyes through the mirror's reflection and sighed. She sounded so urgent with her plea, it left Claire feeling flustered. "Why are you so adamant about this?" She finally turned around, now standing face to face with her dearest friend. "I'm listening.. it's just..." Claire turned away from Lily for a moment. "I'm just confused.. by this whole thing." And on top of that, she had a major case of cold feet.

"I know what you're thinking, Lily. I know everyone thinks the same. Jackson isn't good for me, I know that's what you think. But I.." Again, she sighed. "I have no one else. I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life, I'm not getting any younger, I don't want to settle down in my 40's.. I want to settle down now." Just not with Jackson.

 

[BlackTeen]

- Claire...

Lily followed her friend and stood firmly in front of her. She wanted to confront her, she wanted Claire to face the truth.

- Claire... ask your heart...

And with that Lily placed a hand on her friend's heart, meaning at the meeting of her bare skin and her soft dress.

- Ask yourself if you love him. Forcing yourself to live with someone you don't love is far worse thatn living without someone.

Keeping her hand at the same place, but feeling some heat because of that place on the birth of a beautiful breast, Lily took a step closer, keeping eye contact, she whispered.

- Claire, there's someone who loves you...

 

[xLuxG]

Claire was almost to the point of passing out. Not because she felt faint, but because her friend was making her so very confused. She narrowed her eyes, trying her very best to listen and take in everything that Lily was saying now but still she found it hard. "I guess..." She paused for a moment, careful not to completely give in to her friend. "I guess you could possibly be right about that but.."

But nothing.

Claire lowered her gaze as Lily set her hand upon where her heart was beating against her chest. She drew in a sharp breath, watching as Lily stepped even closer towards her and when Lily spoke those words of there being someone who loves her, all Claire could mutter was, "Who?"

 

[BlackTeen]

Lily disn't answer... at least not with words. She could feel Claire's heart beating hard and fast in her chest. She didn't say anything, she instead leaned in closer to her friend. Her second hand went to Claire's cheeck, and her head came closer, tilting slightly on the side... Lily leaned in until their lips touched.

 

[xLuxG]

Claire's eyes instinctively closed as soon as Lily's lips were upon hers. She hadn't seen this coming but couldn't quite draw herself to push her away. Not yet at least. She allowed their lips to mesh as one, pressing firmly against Lily's until her mind began to wander.

"Wait." She pulled back finally after much debating in her mind. She looked at Lily, staring directly into her hypnotic eyes. "Why did you do that?" Confusion set in once more, but she was unable to stop thinking about the kiss the two of them had just shared, no matter how short lived it had been.

She studied Lily's facial expressions for a moment, trying to get a read on her but it was impossible. She couldn't speak, she felt frozen in time, not being able to move as her muscles felt as if they were on lock down. Her heart was beating even faster than before. Claire watched Lily's lips, the ones she had just kissed and couldn't help but to kiss them again as she leaned in close, their bodies now touching as their lips crashed together once again.

 

[BlackTeen]

Lily felt bad when Claire pushed away, brealing the kiss. She was trying to find an explanation, something to say to her friend. She was looking at her beautiful friend, so magnificent in her white wedding dress, and she licked her lips, not sure on how to say this.
But Claire broke down the need for an explanation when she leaned in tighter and kissed again. Lily felt passion in this kiss, heat,... love maybe. She closed her eyes, welcoming Claire by putting her arms around her, holding her tight against herself, bodies pressing agaisnt each other.

 

[xLuxG]

Claire may have been confused by the situation, but she knew what she wanted right then and there. As Lily coiled her arms around her body, Claire met Lily's cheeks with her hands, holding her head as their kiss continued. A soft coo escaped her lips, breathing against Lily's mouth.

It was a longer while until their kiss broke. Coming up for air as it were, Claire looked Lily directly in the eyes and whispered, "How long have you been wanting to kiss me, Lily?" She was curious to know the answer. There was no denying the fact that Claire had enjoyed it too. She had never explored her bicurious side, only once and that had been with Lily years ago.

 

[BlackTeen]

- Since we kissed that day at the party.... years ago. I've been trying to reach you and get you to know about my feelings... but you always seemed so ... so straight.

Lily giggled. She leaned in for another kiss, this tmie parting her lips to let tongue move insearch of Claire's. her hands were caressing her back through the dress.
