Chapter 4
***********
On her wedding day she stared at herself in a tall mirror. Her wedding gown of white embroidered silk. Alice said to herself. "This is my wedding day.- I always imagined it would be the happiest day of my life. Bruce said- I wish Mom and Dad were here today to see you as I'm seeing you. They would be proud of you. "Shall we go ?" The car Shane ordered for us is waiting and we don't want to be late. Carrying a single orchid and prayer book, Alice entered the church some minutes later on Bruce's arm. The moment had come, and there was no longer any opportunity for a change of heart. Shane's hand invited over a hundred guests to the wedding. Among the guests Alice recognised are the rest of Westlife member, managers and friends. Alice went inside, thankful to escape, but Shane caught up with her as she was about to enter her room. He opened the door and followed her in. I've seen many brides, but never one as beautiful as you. I had to tell you now before you changed into something else. Alice stared at him in surprise. "Thank you, Shane. It's kind of you to say so. Then he went out and Alice change her wedding gown before their go for honeymoon. "I shall miss the two of you, "Serene said when Alice and Shane went to say farewell. "But don't hurry back on my account. "Is that an order, nana ? "Shane demanded. Her blue gaze softened slightly as she looking up at them. "I never saw you kiss your bride, Shane. It's customary for the groom to kiss the bride at least once during the marriage proceedings, and I'm surprised at you for neglecting to do so, considering what a beautiful bride Alice made. "How remiss of me, nana, but I shall set the record straight at once. Come here, Alice. Your husband wants to kiss you." There, in front of Serene, Sister Johnson, Bruce and the lads, Shane drew Alice into his arms and placed his lips on hers much to the enjoyment of everyone. It was a cool, impersonal kiss that left her unmoved, Shane did not release her too soon. "Satisfied?" he asked, smiling down at his nana while he kept his arm firmly about Alice's waist. "More than satisfied, Shane. Now, be off, the two of you and enjoy yourselves. "Alice kissed her soft cheek. "Take care of yourself." "And you, my dear," she smiled briefly. "Be happy." Then she kiss her brother cheek and wish him goodbye.

"We're almost there, "Shane said stifled a yawn. We have something to eat and get to bed early. The interior of the cottage was not very large, consisting of a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. "This will be your room, "he said, pushing open the door and placing her suitcase inside. I'll take the room at the back. After their dinner, Alice collected all the dishes and moved toward the basin, Shane gripped her arm and steered her firmly from the kitchen, "Leave them, "he ordered . Get to bed, early. "Good night Shane, Good night Alice. Sleep well.
