Chapter 6

The day of her wedding arrived and she was a bundle of nerves. She’d spent several nights in Hector’s company over the past two weeks but never alone except for last night, and that had turned out to be a pathetic debacle. At least his car was still in the parking lot.

And here she was about to marry the man. Her mother had driven over to her apartment this morning to pick her up at dawn, declaring that there was too much to get done for her to sleep in. The hair dresser was coming at nine o’clock, she needed a good breakfast before the makeup artist arrived, and she had to be dressed and ready for pictures with her bridesmaids by noon.

The morning flew by but nothing her mother could say could get her to eat anything. Kallista rejected all foods except for coffee, knowing that her stomach was too nervous for anything else. She was terrified of facing Hector after last night, her mind frantically trying to come up with an excuse, a way to shrug off her statements about the way he made her feel when he touched her. She didn’t want him to have that much power over her! She wanted to be reserved, dignified. Ladylike!

His touch blew away all of those efforts and left her feeling exposed and vulnerable. As her wedding dress was lifted over her elaborately coifed hair and professionally done makeup, she actually hated Hector for making her feel so horrible, so undignified. She was marrying him! Couldn’t he leave her with just a little dignity?

She couldn’t stop her fingers from shaking and her cousins, who were standing as her bridesmaids, teased her about how nervous she looked. Little did they know that she was marrying practically a complete stranger. A stranger who snapped and yelled and threatened her at every turn so she was so confused she could barely think straight, and then he drove her completely crazy with a simple touch that made her weak in the knees with a queasy stomach.

In the back of the church, she stood behind the closed doors, watching the two bridesmaids walk down the aisle through the stained glass windows of the intricately decorated doors and wondered what everyone would say if she just stepped forward and yelled “stop!”.

She didn’t have time to act on that impulse since her father stepped forward and looked at her, tears in his eyes. “I want you to know that I’m very proud of you at this moment. You brought Hector into my life at a crisis and he’s going to help me more than you can know. I’m glad you fell in love with a man who is strong and can help in ways you don’t even understand.”

At that moment, Kallista took a deep breath, kissed her father on the cheek and accepted her fate. That didn’t stop the shaking knees or the rapid heart rate. Her hand shook as she tucked it into her father’s elbow.
