“Pixie let me know he’s spending Christmas with them. Have you seen him? Is he doing better or is he still the same?” I asked.
Noe sighed. “I saw him when he came in to let Orca and Kid know he’s in the area. He looks better than he did a couple of months ago but he’s still not himself. Pixie did call to let me know that he and Lucky are spending a lot of time together and that he seems to be doing better. We’ll have to wait and see.”
I nodded, I was hoping he would come home soon. But it was up to Rider.
In River and Ice’s room where we had hidden it I revealed my wedding dress to my girls and had to swallow hard when Linda started crying. Grace, who had grown up knowing the story of my mother blinked furiously.
“This is so beautiful, DC. Your mother would have been so proud to see you honouring your heritage like this. Doc is going to do his nut when he sees you.” Linda said softly.
I looked at the red and gold outfit and had to agree.
Doc was going to lose it when he saw me. I should have warned him.
“Maybe I should call him and warn him.” I looked at my girls but they shook their heads.
“No, let it be a surprise for him and for your man.” Linda said. “Doc has finally found another good woman. He’s going to see you looking so much like your mother and he will love it. He might have lost her but he has you, her legacy to him and your boys. And now he has Ilona, a good woman who loves him.”
I nodded and started to strip, we didn’t have a lot of time to get me into my wedding outfit.
The girls whistled when they saw my underwear. Sexy red lace to match my dress. I winked as River and Linda helped me into the long and heavy skirt. I had chosen a more modern skirt with a zip and a button that was hidden in the pleats. Next came the cropped top, it was embroidered with tiny red and gold glass beads with sleeves that ended above my elbow and with a deep v-neck. The back dipped deep and fastened with tiny buttons. The cropped length left my middle bare but the skirt came to above my navel so it wasn’t too revealing.
The hems of the cropped top and the sleeves were decorated with heavy gold embroidery and there was a line of golden embroidery along the edge of the neck and the back.
The skirt had golden roses and leaves embroidered all over the top of it while the bottom was edged with line after line of heavily embroidered gold braid or lace. I’m not too sure what it was but it was beautiful and made me feel like a princess when I swayed from side to side.
“Now for the hair.” Nadja said as she gently pushed me down on a stool, making sure I wasn’t sitting on my skirt. It felt weird to have my ass cheeks on the cool wood as my skirt belled out around me.
Nadja drew my hair back into a low chignon and secured it with hairpins. She stepped back and nodded in satisfaction. I was about to get up when Grace waved me back down.
“I did something after you told me about your secret wedding and the secret outfit. I asked Mum for the jewellery she’s been holding onto for you. It’s your mother’s wedding jewellery.”
We all gasped as she pulled a carved wooden box from her back pack. It had intricate carvings all over and was inlaid with mother of pearl and had a small lock hanging from the hasp. Taking a small key she unlocked it then laid it on the bed and opened it. Inside was a pile of bangles in gold and red plus a jewelled choker and earrings. There was another piece but I had no idea what it was for.
Grace picked it up and come over to me. “This piece goes into your hair along your centre path with the fine gold chains to the side. Hold still so I can get it in place and secured. I’m using hairgrips so warn Hawk not to pull on it when he’s giving it to you later, okay?” She teased and I smacked her butt.
“Nasty girl.” I teased.
She laughed and winked then helped to get all the bangles on my arms and finally the choker around my throat. She stepped back, nodded then came back and removed my earrings and replaced them with ones that matched the golden disc on my forehead.
Again she stepped back and nodded.
“Perfect. It’s just perfect.” She muttered.
“We’re going to have to do your make up darker than we planned. This outfit calls for eyeliner and heavier eye shadow.” River said as she stood scrolling through her phone. “I’m looking at Indian brides and they do a sort of reddish nude look for their lips. I think we should do the same.”
I shrugged and left it up to them. I knew they would make me look good. I sat silently as they did my face.
Every time I moved the bangles chimed and jangled.
The final piece of the outfit was the dupatta, or scarf.
It was red and made out of a sheer fabric, and it was larger than any scarf I’ve ever worn. I was very glad Samira had shown us how I was supposed to wear it.
Like a red veil over my head.
The heavy embroidered edge hung over the top of my skirt. The embroidery was done with the same glass beads that were used on my top. It was edged in gold to match the gold at the bottom of my skirt.
I slipped my feet into the jewelled leather sandals that I would kick off before I walked towards the man of my dreams.
