Sweet Revenge

Chapter 18

 

Sarah was in her room standing in front of a mirror wearing a white ball gown her hair was pulled up into fancy looking bun, she was still admiring herself in the mirror when she heard someone come in the room.

She turned around and saw Isabelle standing there smiling at her, she smiled back at her.

“Do I look okay?” Sarah asked s she touched her dress

“You look beautiful and like a queen” Isabelle replied

Sarah blushed and looked away, Isabelle walked up to her and she put her hand underneath her chin and gently pulled her face to look at her “a queen never looks away from someone she looks them in the eyes no matter what”

Sarah nodded her head looking her directly in the eye “are you ready to party?” Isabelle asked

“Yes” Sarah said smiling then she frowned making Isabelle worried “are you alright?”

“What happens if I don’t make a good queen?” Sarah asked sadly

Isabelle smiled sadly at her “Sarah I think you will make a great Queen and I know Jareth thinks so too. You just need to have a little faith in yourself”

“Your right” Sarah said

Isabelle smiles at her then wraps her arm around Sarah’s shoulder and they both disappeared and then reappeared outside the ballroom, they both decided to enter together.

 

Inside The Ballroom

Jareth was pacing back and forth while his friend Talon was laughing at him, Jareth ignored him and spoke up “what happens if she realizes she is making a big mistake and doesn’t want to marry me”

“I don’t think that will happen” Talon said

But Jareth either didn’t hear him or ignored him because he kept speaking “she realized that I am evil and she is too good to be with someone like me”

Talon just shook his head, he then looked up and saw Sarah and Isabelle walk in, he tapped Jareth’s arm hard, Jareth looked at him angrily for interrupted his thoughts and for hitting a king in public.

“What?” he asked angrily

Talon didn’t say anything he just pointed and smiled, Jareth looked and he saw Sarah walk in with Isabelle talking and laughing about something. Jareth laughed right with her even though he has no idea what is being said, but just seeing her laugh and look happy brightens his day.

 

As Sarah and Isabelle walked in she looked around she saw her friends, Toby playing with the other children, she looked around more and saw Jareth staring at her and she just stopped and looked at him.

Jareth walked up to her, he looked up and down and then gave her a pleasant smile “you look really beautiful” he said as he couldn’t keep his eyes off of her.

“Thank you” she said as she blushed staring at him in the eyes.

“Are you hungry?  Or would you like to dance?” Jareth asked her

“I am a little too nervous right now to eat, so I think a dance should be good” she tells him.

Jareth nods his head and holds out his hand for her take it, she puts her hand in his and they walk out to the dance floor where other guests are dancing.

Jareth watches her noticing that something is bothering her “what’s wrong?” he asks

Sarah looked up at him trying to avoid his eyes and she replied “I am afraid I will let you down as queen and you will choose someone else”

Jareth looked at her sadly “you could never let me down you were born to be queen” she smiled widely at that he continued “and I would never anyone else but you”

Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck she kissed him quickly on the lips then laid her head on his chest while they danced slowly, Jareth kissed the top of her head and then he laid his head on top of hers as they danced.

 

Then they heard the clinking on a glass everyone stopped dancing and looked to where it came from they saw Talon holding a glass of champagne in one hand in the other a fork, he set the fork down and started talking.

“since I am Jareth’s best friend, I thought I would say a few words, it’s not every day your best friend gets married” he paused he looked at everyone then he looked over at Jareth and Sarah he smiled and continued “I think he picked a great woman, one I believe that will make you all proud to have her as your queen. I will also say that I know most of you single ladies are upset that Jareth is giving up his bachelorhood to get married”

As he said that he heard woman grown angrily and disappointingly, Sarah looked at Jareth who looked uncomfortable under her stare.

Sarah then turned towards Talon. Talon lifted his glass up above him and said “to the happy couple Jareth and Sarah”

Everyone clapped some people looked happy others looked angry but they drank and had a good time. Sarah decided to get some food, Jareth walked with her.

Some people that Sarah passed by smiled, said hi and bowed their heads, others would purposely bump into her giving her dirty looks, she just brushed them off, she grabbed a plate and piled it with all different kinds of food, when she turned around she noticed Jareth surrounded by woman he acted like he liked the attention.

“Don’t worry he is not the type to cheat” a voice said from next to her

Sarah turned her head and saw Talon standing next to her, he wasn’t looking at her his eyes were on Jareth “how do you know that?” she asked him

“Jareth is my best friend, whenever he was with a girl, he never cheated flirted with other girls but that was as far as it went”

Sarah seemed to accept that answer, she saw Jareth walk away from them with a smile on his face and up to Sarah and Talon.

“Who were they?” Sarah asked with a jealous tone

Jareth laughed “no need to be jealous Sarah I only want you and no one else”

Talon bent down and whispered to Sarah “I told you” he then walked away to find his wife.

Jareth watched talon walk away then he turned to Sarah “would you like to dance?”

“No, thank you, I think I am going to go to bed, I’m tired” she told him

“I’ll go with you” he said

“Are you sure it’s okay for us to leave our own party?” she asked doubtful

“It is custom for the guests of honor to leave early, while the other guests stay till whenever” he told her

“Okay” she said

He held his hand out to her and she took it they disappeared and reappeared in her room, they looked at each other not sure what to do, he was ready to leave when her voice stopped him “can you please stay just to hold me, I am too tired to do anything else”

“As you wish precious” he said

They quickly got dressed in their sleepwear and got under the covers and just laid together holding each other and fell asleep in each other’s arms.
