The ceremony was nice. So was the food and the random strangers. Even wearing a dress my mother made me from some left over curtain material, looked nice. In fact the only thing that wasn't nice? Yeah that would be the bridemaids.
Or more specifically the seventeen year-old Chief bridesmaid. She was blonde, busty and about three inches taller than me an oh yeah, wasn't jailbait.
Not that Rob was interested in her or anything - or at least I don't think he was. Interested I mean. But isn't to say she wasn't interested in him.
Like when it came to the 'first dance' of the Bride and Groom and it was everyone elses' turn to join in she walked straight up to Rob - even though he was just helping me out of my chair - and asked him to dance.
He politely declined, of course, and instead lead me to the dance floor while she looked at us all sulkily. That was deffinitely nice though, his arms wrapped around my waist and my arms around his neck, with my head resting against his firm chest, swaying in time to the music.
But did she give up? Like hell did she. While I paid a visit to the little girls room she found him, and by the time I got back the little tramp was trying to wrap her arms around him as she leaned in to kiss him.
I swear I totallly know that it is wrong to use violence on those who don't deserve it, but this bitch completely did.
Rob, luckily had the sence to move out of the way as my fist caught her in on the cheek. Needless to say she went crashing to the floor. But Rob grabbed me before I could do anything else.
''Manstrianni, cool it.'' I did stop trying to get out of his grip - but only because his mom turned up.
I realised that I probably went down a few notches in her estimation of me. But really, that girl fully deserved it!. I mean she knew Rob was taken.
She didn't say anything about that though - the girl I mean - she just walked off in a huff.
And even more luckily it turns out that Robs' mom hadn't seen a God blessed thing. She'd just come to tell us she and just-call-me-Gary were leaving.
After that Rob drove me home in silence. Not that there's much you can say while going eighty miles an hour on the back of a hog, but whatever.
When Rob finally pulled up in front of my house I just handed him my helmet and started toward my front door. Rob however had other ideas. Catching my wrist in a firm but gentle grip he turned me to face him, ''Jess,''
I repressed a gulp. Rob only used my first name when in relation to something serious. Avoiding looking at him I tried to pull away, ''Rob!'' Ok it came out as a half moan cause I knew he'd want me to feel guilty about punching her and if he had his say I would - even though in reality she one-hundred percent deserved it.
Dropping my helmet Rob pulled off his own helmet, looking me in the eye. ''What was that, back there?''
''Nothing.''
''Manstranni you just nailed a bridesmaid. You can't say that's nothing.'' When I didn't reply Rob propped the bike up and drew me down to sit next to him.
''She was all over you, Rob! What was I supposed to do?'' I looked away, knowing I sounded like a possesive child.
But Rob didn't say anything. And when I looked up he was smirking eyebrows raised and everything. ''You know, it does wonders for a guys ego when his girlfriend gets jealous.'' he said, as if commenting about the weather.
''I was not jealous, I was just...I mean..'' but cutting off my bumbling reply Rob covered my mouth with his. I know I shouldn't have let him, he'd just admitted he sort of got off on me being jealous. But Rob very rarely gives into urges like his one now of kissing me on his bike on Christmas Eve.
Eventually we came to a halt, as nice as it is to be kissed by Rob, it was freezing and I was wearing a dress! Need I say more? The night was perfect really - except for the slutty bridesmaid - Rob walked me upto my door and we were having another - not so brief - goodnight kiss, when my cellphone (CIA issues - Krantz's idea) started ringing.
Giving Rob my best I'll-just-be-a-minute look I flipped it open, but before I could so much as say a sarcastic 'hello' Krantz was speaking. ''Jessica, are you awake - we've got an emergency!'' And that's how it started this time.
