Could this be love?
Freya Johnson had met Christopher three hours ago and had taken quite the shine to him, he was unusually funny and didn't seem to care what people thought of him. Which she liked about him. He had stunning blue eyes that had a welcoming shine about them, he had the warmest smile that made his eyes light up uniquely, he had dark blonde hair in an emo spiked-up kind of way, his second stage stubble suited him, and his lean facial features. He had strong-looking arms and a body just the way she liked it. He had already told her he was twenty-eight years old, which she kind of guessed seeing as he was attending her big brothers wedding. She allowed him to lead her outside in the massive garden, a tall water fountain stood, the cupids arrow was where all the water changed colours making it look extremely romantic. She could see what her brother Jack and now sister-in-law Sally loved about the place, when they had picked it out. Although Freya believed it to be more Sally's choosing than her brothers, Sally was a hopeless romantic and was always trying to find the perfect guy for Freya, much to Freya's displeasing.

The first thing Freya noticed as they entered the garden was three willow trees scattered around the garden, this alone had reeled her in. The flowers laid out over the freshly mowed lawn, were beautiful in a magical-looking way. They really couldn't have chosen a better location for wedding photos.
"It's truly beautiful out here" Freya said lightly
"You like gardens?" He quizzically asked her.
"What's not to like about this one?" She asked him gently raising a brunette eyebrow at him. Freya was twenty four years old, she had long brunette hair, which today was tied up in a messy but elegant way with a gold flowery clip, in the middle holding it altogether, she had the lightest colour eyeshadow on, but dark eyeliner to go with it. Dressed in a Morgan flocked formal velvet dress chosen by the bride herself, it had quite the v-neck on it, which to Freya's annoyance showed her cleavage alot more than she would normally. It had a slit down the one side which revealed one leg as she walked and around the under dress piece flowed with a red lace, which suited her more than she believed it would be, when Sally picked it out for her.
"Fair point" he agreed, smiling at her softly, making his eyes glisten in the moonlight.
"So, how do you actually know my brother?" She asked him curiously, wondering why she had never met him until now.
"The bike rallies" he informed her
"Your into your motorbikes too then" She guessed
"What gave you that impression? I only go there for the free food" he teased her, she smiled at him
"Ok, I asked for that one"
"You did, but I will start to go easy on you" He promised
"I live with Jack go as uneasy as you like" she reminded him, as Jack was always sarcastically funny with her, he looked at her for a moment, longer than he had intended.
"You live with Jack?" He asked
"Yeah, I have done now for two years" She admitted
"Unyet we've never met"
"Guess we weren't supposed to, until now, I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason" Freya told him, As it goes though it's a pleasure to have finally met you" She added
"The pleasures all mine, it's nice to have someone on the same level as me too." He assured her.
"How long have you actually known my brother?"
"Years"
"Really?"
"Yeah! I lived with him a good five years"
"Oh, so your that Chris" Freya realized, she had spoken him on the phone, without actually ever meeting him
"I hope you mean that in a nice way"
"I do, you always made me laugh, we've spoken loads of times"
"Wondered if you were going to remember that"
"I do now" She assured him, he smiled softly looking up at the stars. Freya found herself wondering if she had just offended him by not remembering straight away.
"In fairness, I didn't realize you were that Freya either" He joked, this answered her question.
"Sorry, my brother has two other Chris's he knows, ones Christian though" she explained not wanting to offend him, she liked him. He made her feel different inside, something she hadn't ever got from a guy she had just met, butterflies danced around in her stomach every time he looked at her. Being in his company really made her smile or proper belly laugh. Freya had always looked at other peoples relationships on the outside and wished to find something like that, but hadn't. He turned his attention from stars back to her.
"I know Christian, he's a cool dude"
"Yeah he is" She stated, "The other Chris though he's something else" She added.
"Can't judge I've never met him" He answered
"Here you are, we're about to have some more photos taken by the water fountain" Sally beamed, her smile was a genuine one from ear to ear, "Chris hi, haven't seen you for awhile, how are you?" she added.
"Very well, thank you Sal', what's it like being married?"
"So far it's a dream" Sally answered the happiest either of them had seen her. "Sorry I'm just gonna' borrow Freya here, you can have her straight back" She promised
"Sure, I'll get us a drink"

The photos seemed to take ages as Sally wanted one from every angle, with a single picture of everyone, bridesmaids together, her and bridesmaids and so on.
Freya stood back a little and looked at her brother seeing the pure happiness in him for the first time too, he wasn't a hopeless romantic and he had phoned her earlier in the day, several times with wedding jitters and panic. Looking at him now though, you would never believe how scared he got being in a relationship and how close they had come to breaking up. Tonight though she could tell her brother was truly happy and very much in love.
