Chapter 1
Kate lay awake on the couch watching the stars twinkle in the sky, it was her wedding day tomorrow except she wasn't really excited because she was marrying the man she didn't truly love but instead the man that her heart had been with for the last 3 years. Kate was so annoyed because she couldn't tell the man she truly did love how he felt because she wasn't sure if he felt the same as she did. Mike lay gazing at the ceiling how am I going to let her marry that freak tomorrow when I love her and she's my girl Mike thought as the minutes began to get shorter to Kate's wedding and one thing's for sure he sure as heck wasn't looking forward to sitting in that church and not being able to be the one kissing her at the end.
The hairdressers arrived early to do the hair and make-up because they were also make- up artists because Jim and Kate had wanted this day to be special yet Kate couldn't enjoy it as much as she wanted to because something didn't feel right. "Hey why the long face?" Nikki asked as she walked through to the lounge room "Nik I don't know what it is but I don't feel right, I mean tell me how you felt when you married ET?" Kate asked "well I was absolutely over the moon and couldn't believe it was actually happening, I couldn't wait to marry the man of my dreams" Nikki answered as the hairdressers started to do their hair. Jim stood in front of the mirror as he fixed his suit, he had about an hour till he was going to be a married man and he could hardly wait for Kate to be Mrs Roth.
Mike was getting out what he was going to wear to Kate's wedding when he heard a knock on the door. Who could that be I wonder Mike thought as he went to open the front door, ET was standing on the other side of the door. ET had heard from Nikki how the Captain felt about Kate and they together had planned to do something about it along with Becca and Buffer too. "ET what can I do for you?" Mike Questioned "well sir I have come to talk to you" ET replied "About what?" Mike answered "well The crew and I have noticed how you feel about Kate, we've seen the way you look at her and we've seen the way every time she goes on a boarding you're especially wary" Et started "yes well she's an amazing XO" Mike answered "Sir with all due respect, we know you have feelings for her and she has feelings for you" ET continued "so we thought before you both make a mistake we have to step in because if you truly love Kate then you have to let her know about it and you can't let her marry Jim when we all know she actually loves you" ET concluded. Mike stood with his mouth wide open, he instantly knew what he had to do.
Kate stood infront of the mirror in her white wedding dress that she hadn't eve chosen but instead Jim and his parents had, infact she had very little to do with the wedding so that is probably the reason that she didn't really want to go through with this. There was a knock at her door "Kate are you ready, It's time to go" A voice said, it was Jim's mother Polly "Um yeah" Kate replied, she quickly gazed at a photo of her and Mike when they first dated 6 years ago before he dumped her with a letter. "I'm sorry Mike, I don't want to do this but you just don't know how I feel about you and now I have to marry Jim, If only you could save me" Kate whispered before quickly kissing the photo and heading out the door to finish her make-up.
Jim stood at the front of the church waiting to see Kate walk down the aisle. Kate stood outside the church waiting for the music to start playing well here we go, I'm going to be a married woman at the end of this, I'm not happy but I can do that Kate thought as she began to walk inside and down the aisle. Everyone was watching her and suddenly Kate felt the butterflies in her stomach increase in number as she saw Jim at the end of the aisle. Jim grabbed her arm and led her down the last part of the aisle. The service began and everything was running smoothly. Mike got out of the car and took a couple of deep breaths before walking towards the entrance to the church Time to tell her how I feel about her Mike thought as he stood at the entrance out of eye sight of anyone. "Dearly beloved before we combine in marriage I would like to say if anyone doesn't agree with the marriage of these two speak now or forever hold your peace" Mike heard the Priest say and immediately stormed in on the wedding. Everyone turned and watched him storm down the aisle.
"Kate you can't marry him" Mike said as she reached Kate and Jim.
"Why can't she marry Me?" Jim asked taking Kates hand in his and pulling her behind him
"Because I love you Kate" Mike said looking Kate straight in the eye. Jim's temper began to boil and he let go of Kate and walked over to Mike and punched him in the face, the congregation gasped, Mike fell to the ground and Kate screamed.
"Mike!" Kate said rushing over to Mike
"Kate I made a real mistake leaving you all those years ago and I've realised that by the fact your making a mistake marrying Jim because I love you and I know you love me too. So please just don..." Mike said but was stopped in his tracks as Kate kissed him passionately. Kate stood up and helped Mike get up again. Jim wasn't having it he punched Mike again, took Kate's hand in his and lead her outside.
"MIKE!" Kate yelled as Jim led her outside, Mike immediately tried to stand up but felt dizzie and fell down again. "Mike stay there, Buff, spider and ET will go and get her back for you" Swain yelled as he hurried forward to look Mike over.
Buffer, spider and ET ran outside to find Kate being shoved into the car and Jim was about to get in the car as they ran over to them. Buffer Held Jim whilst ET got Kate out of the car and helps inside to Mike, Then once Kate was out of view The punched him twice in the face and put him in the car which will go to the airport and he will leave the country.
Back inside Mike was sitting on one of the seats, Kate rushes in with tears running down her face. Mike stands ip and pulls her into his arms and calms her down, the boys walk in ad signal to Mike that Jim won't be bothering them anytime soon. He nodded and thanked them for everything and everyone left with Kate still in Mike arms though the crying had stopped she was just glad tha he had come to rescue her and she didn't have to marry that man whom she didn't truly love. Kate sat in the back seat of the remaining limo with Mike and the driver drove them back to Kate's place which was a really large house with lots of rooms. Kate walked inside and left to go and get out of the ugly dress.
Mike was sitting on the couch when Kate returned she looked even more beautiful now she was more casual than in her wedding dress. "That's better, I never liked the dress anyway" Kate said as she sat down on the couch and snuggled up to Mike. "Thanks for savng me from a marriage I really didn't want to partake in at all" Kate said giving Mike a quick peck on the cheek before hopping up to go to the bathroom, I should really thank the crew on the boat later this week because without them i wouldn't have stepped in and rescued thought mike as he switched on the television.
Kate came out of the bathroom and walked back into the lounge to find mike dozing on the couch in front of some movie which was on television. Kate walked down the hallway and grabbed a blanket out of her linen cupboard and took it back to drape over Mike before heading out onto the deck to relax. Kate watched the world go by on her deck, she was lucky she could go out her back gate and she would be at the beach or she could go 30 minutes walk down the road and she would be at the port of Hammersley if she wanted to be. Kate had been sitting on her deck looking out at the sea for about an hour when there was a knok on the door. Kate got up and walked inside to answer the door. Mike was still sleeping and obviously hadn't heard the door which was good because he needed the sleep he could get before they headed out to sea later this week.
Kate opened the door and was met by a wilting bunch of flowers on her doorstep with a card in it which read
Dearest Kate
You may have got away from me for now but I will be watching you and one day you will leave that captian of the ship and come crawling back to me. I'm sending these flowers to show you what my heart is like at the moment. I'll be waiting for you and this love s not over, I'll get you one day.
Love always
Jim Roth xoxo
Kate took the flowers inside and put them in the bin but placed the note in one of the drawers, Mike was beginning to stir and it was nearly 6:00 so she thought she'd better start on dinner. Mike walked into the kitchen and saw Kate cooking dinner wow she really is amazing not long was about to get married and now she's cooking dinner, I'm never letting her go Mike thought as he sat down on the stool by the bench top. Kate could hear his breathing behind her and decided that she would ask whether he was staying for dinner even though she'd already cooked for him. "Are you staying for dinner" Kate asked and waited for Mikes reply.
