The Mediator : 2nd Part (Working Title)

I sat there watching people dancing and enjoying the soft music, moving slowly like trees blown softly by the wind in the evening. The garden lit up with candles and lanterns, vines and flowers crept the fence at a small reunion of two beautiful people in Deryck's life. Dress in a champagne halter neck dress with embroidery of flowers, a vintage from my late grandmother's collection embodied my body perfectly. It felt like it was sewn for me that left me thinking if she was in the exact position I was when she wore this dress, sitting in a daze at a table across the dance floor.

As people shift back and forth dancing to the rhythm of music a black shadow moved towards me pass the moving people with a smile on his face. Dark hair, tall, deep blue sparkly eyes, smartly dress in a suit stands before me offering his hand. I look up to him and my lips copied the smile that was on his. My mind contemplated but my heart urges me to take it as soon as I look into his eyes. Letting my heart take over I took his hand and we made our way to the now not so crowded dance floor.

He placed both my hand on his shoulder and place his on my back and we began moving in harmony to the rhythm of the music. It was the slow dance session,  and if my memory serves me right I was pretty sure it was a song called Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen playing in the background.  As he leaded the dance, I realise that I was dancing without stepping on his toes or missing a step, being a well known of a bad dancer I am. Instantaneously, I look up to him with a smile as if he understood the happiness I felt over my little achievement he kiss my head and pulled me closer to hug him. My heart shattered deep inside and my tears hangs slightly on the edge of my eyelid like a bucket filled with water waiting to spill over. Slowly I push him and took two steps back before leaving him jilted on the dance floor.

I made my past the gazebo where Deryck's father got married, past the isle, past the bridge until I finally reach a point where I was lost at a walkway with tall pillars along it covered in vines. My heart felt like it was suffocating, hurting so deep at the thought of the mistakes, the promise that was broken and my tears came running down. The vibration of my phone caught me off guard and   I press reject, not in the mood to answer the same question over again from Natalie. The back of my head throb as I my mind flashes back.

"You told me Hilda was your only girlfriend, you never told me you had a fiance !" I said before I hit him on the face and left him alone at the cemetery. 
My mind shifted to the time he saved me by letting the shelf hit him instead of me, 
"You lied to me when you were dating Brian behind my back and that makes it equal for the two us." crouching on the floor holding his head trying to calm himself.
"She was never suppose to be your ghost, she was mine. As far as I'm concern any ghost we encounter no longer requires sharing any form of information. You're on your own." leaving me alone at a cemetery in the cold midnight.
"I never love you, I was there because my mother told me you were a new mediator in need of help. You were just somebody to fill the void when Alicia left me."

The more the memories kept flashing into my head, the more headache I get from trying to reason with myself with the situation I'm in. I tried calming myself, trying to get some air into my lungs but all I felt was as if my chest was being pressed down from a big hard iron.

"You can't hide from me forever, in the world we live in you and I are meant to come across each other" he said.

I ignored his statement and started looking into my purse, pretending not to hear a word he said. The soft wind blew and I can hear the the dried autumn leaves crisping as they scrape themselves across the hard pavement of the walkaway and scatter around.

*This is just some scenes that were playing in my head for the characters I've created about 4 to 5 years ago. The problem is I can't get the scene out of my head but I'm currently writing the beginning of the 2nd part of the story and they just declared themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend and happy as ever. Haven't got any inspiration on how the early parts should workout but these are some of the bits and pieces with a little rough grammar error and not so good construction of sentence and all but u get the rough idea in your head. Hope you enjoy :D

Syarmin, I'm currently taking a fiction writing course and I truly enjoyed your writing. My weakness has been writing dialogues and only dialogues. And I too have terrible sentences construction and grammar mistakes. I really admire the little details in your paragraphs. They are really beautiful. Really. There are some things that seem out of place, and if you need anyone to edit, you can ask me :) I would love to read it when you are finished with it :)

Thank you Amirah for your comment it means a lot to me. I do realise that I have a lot of grammatical error and bad construction of sentences. lol. I would love if you can help me with the editing. However, it will take quite some time for me to finish them since my muse seems to be taking a holiday or something because, I just can't seem to find the appropriate word or flow. Everything seems like I have to force them and when I force something, it's never good lol. Will tell you once I'm finish with it.
