I was in the dressing room with mom helping her put on her veil. Grandma sitting with my sister Lizzie and my aunt Mia crying. Mom wore a beautiful simple white dress that made her look incredibly tan. It was strapless, with a sweetheart neckline and a purple belt at the waist. It flowed down to the ground into a long sparkly train at the back. She matched the wedding colors by wearing purple earrings, and a silver necklace Mason had gotten her with a pretty amethyst cut into a heart. We were called out to prepare to walk down the aisle. I was in love with the maid of honor dress my mom had picked out for me. It was a dark purple strapless dress that started at my knees in the front and flowed down to my ankles in the back and I wore sparkly silver stilettos that made me the same height as Lou. James came out of the dressing room and took his place by my side.
He turned and took a look at me, "You look terrific Brooke." I smiled at him and thanked him, his next response shook me though, "Your mom and Mason are so glad you agreed to come. And I don't know if she's told you this yet, but she's unbelievably proud of you. After Percy Jackson came out, she didn't stop bragging about you." I looked at him wide eyed. That's when I heard the music begin to play.
Mom had let me choose what I wanted to walk down the aisle to, which made me laugh, because she should have already known. I heard Hakuna Matata begin to play and the guest began to chuckle which made me smile.
James offered me his arm, "Are you ready?" I grabbed my bouquet and looked over my dress before I responded. "Yea, as ready as I'll ever be." I responded with a sigh. I took his arm and put on a smile. The doors were opened, and we began our abnormally slow walk towards the altar. I looked around to see all of my friends and family that I hadn't seen in what seemed like ages. Everyone gasped when they saw me walking down the aisle. I had told mom as one of the conditions of my attendance was for it to be a secret, absolutely no one was allowed to know unless you were immediate family, I didn't want to have to fight off paparazzi on moms special night. I saw so many of my old friends begin to tear up already. I couldn't help but let my smile grow into a grin. I felt my eyes begin to burn with tears that threatened to spill over and ruin the little makeup I had on. I saw Louis sitting with my grandmother at the front row of my family's side. His eyes lit up when we made eye contact. He gave me a wink to give me confidence before looking me up and down, which made me giggle. James and I finally made it to the altar and he gave me a sincere smile which I couldn't help but return. I watched as my little sister and the rest of moms friends began to walk down the aisle to a Bon Jovi song mom must have picked out. Then came the flower girl, I hadn't recognized her so I assumed she was from Mason's side of the family. Then mom came walking down the aisle with my grandpa on her arm. She walked down to her all-time favorite song: I won't say I'm in Love, from the movie Hercules. I watched her make eye contact with Mason. The way she lit up seeing him made me smile. I looked to find Louis who was comforting my grandmother while watching the ceremony. He looked from my mom and Mason to me and he gave me a smile. I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. I just beamed at him as my tears began to fall. I was so happy for my mom and Mason, and I was so happy I had Louis to be here with me. I watched the rest of the ceremony through blurry teary eyes. Before I knew it they were wed, and we all walked down the hall decorated with their engagement pictures that lead to the dining area.
With James still on my arm we made our way to the head table. I sat next to mom with the rest of the bridesmaids. I looked to see if I could find Lou and sure enough him and my grandfather were chatting and getting on great. I smiled at the two of them. Then mom and Mason made their grand entrance. That was our queue to start the welcoming dance. The room erupted with All the Right Moves by One Republic. All we bridesmaids grabbed our masks that sat on the table. The groomsmen put their simple white masks on. The bridesmaid's masks were beautiful and intricate; they were white with all sorts of different silver and purple designs. Where as mine was purple with silver designs and patterns. And moms had a little something like all our masks put into one.
James grabbed my hand and we followed mom and Mason out to the dance floor where we began our dance. I wasn't too nervous, I loved dancing for people and I had practiced as much as possible. I looked at James as we began to circle each other. He actually wasn't as bad as I thought he was going to be. As we spun to face the crowd I tried to look for Lou. When I spotted his face he didn't seem to happy, but I figured he was just irritated with the way James had to hold me for the dance or the way he caressed me. I just smirked and focused back on the moves. Before I knew it we were in our end pose.
James and I both breathing heavy, finally made eye contact, "That was great!" he exclaimed as he lifted me up from the dip he had on me. I stood up straight and hugged him. "You were amazing!" I told him breathlessly. He gave me a smug smirk and shrugged his shoulders. The dance floor quickly began to fill with people. James wife came up and asked to cut in, "Oh yes of course!" I said with a quick smile as I left the dance floor to go put my mask away. I hummed to the music as I went; I quickly placed my mask under the table with the rest of my stuff. As I began to stand up right again, I felt two strong arms wrap themselves around my waist.
"Care for a dance love?" I turned to face Louis who had just whispered in my ear. "I'd love to." I said with a smile. He led me out to the dance floor like the gentleman he was. Oddly enough Brittney Spears' song Criminal came on.
"I'm going to get crap for this later." I smirked as I whispered to Louis. He looked at me questioningly. "The song." I pointed out. He listened for a second, "Oh it so suits you my little rebel." He said with a wink. With that I pulled him to the middle of the dance floor. "I'll lead." I said with a devilish smile as I winked at him. He grinned, "I like the sound of that." That's when I pulled him close and began a waltz step. He smiled at my dominance. We didn't dance the cleanest, and the dance floor began to clear as we got more into it. I even began to sing it to myself but Louis laughed so I guess he must have heard me. By the end of the song it was only Louis and I on the floor. We stilled as the music faded. Applause erupted in the hall, breaking mine and Lou's gaze. We looked out and everyone was watching and recording us as they cheered. We both turned to them and bowed.
We made our way back into the crowd of tables to find my grandparents. I was stopped quite a few times by old friends and family members I haven't seen in a while. I was congratulated on my career as well as being with Louis. When we finally found them we practically ran before we could get stopped again. My grandparents seemed to love Louis already, they treated him like family.
Before we could strike up a conversation with them Louis asked my grandma to dance, who happily agreed, leaving grandpa and I to follow in their steps. "Just like when I was little huh grandpa?" I asked with a smile. He just laughed, but I knew it was forced. He seemed a bit sadden to realize I was so grown up. We began to dance to a familiar fast paced song.
"He really cares about you." Grandpa said being completely serious now, after we had a fit of laughter at our ridiculous dance moves. I looked at him to see him gazing at Louis who was teaching grandma how to screw the light bulb and pat the dog. I just laughed, "Yea I guess he kind of does." I said with a small smile. The song ended and my grandpa led me off the dance floor. We went and sat at their table with them. Grandma already loved Louis it clear as day and it made me smile. We chatted about our home, Rosie and Harry, our careers, some of the interesting people we've met in the last year, and what we were both working on now. Grandpa loved discussing music and recording with Louis. We talked till our voices went hoarse.
Louis gasped, "What?" I asked him a little startled at his outburst. "Common! It's our song babe, sorry grandmother, my apologies grandfather we will be back shortly, just have to go dance with my amazing girlfriend to our song." he pulled me to the dance floor. Hunter Hayes, Wanted was on. I loved this song. Louis sang this song to me the day we found our house with Rosie and Harry. We went out to the floor where all the younger kids started to clear, leaving only a few couples.
I didn't feel like putting on another show for everyone so I just wrapped my arms around Lou's neck, and put my head on his chest. He responded by wrapping his arms around my waist and placing his head on mine. We didn't move much just swayed and sang along.
"Just imagine." Louis whispered with a chuckle. I moved my head to look at him still holding him close. "Imagine what babe?" He looked at me and just smiled, "Nothing love, never mind." I looked at him completely confused, "Tell me!" I almost yelled. He laughed at my curiosity. "Later." He said. I made a little growl and went back to our previous position, too worn out to argue. "Do you know how long we've been dating babe?" Louis asked. "Yea we've been dating since," I couldn't answer that question. When did we first start dating? I turned my head so I could look at him. He looked really confused. We both stood there trying to think, but soon enough shrugged it off. What did it matter how long we'd been together? Since that night we met I Vegas we've had a 'thing'.
Our song ended and a fast paced song started up, but we decided we'd keep our promise and go back to see my grandparents. We walked off of the floor and made our way half way through the maze of tables before we were stopped. It was my mom. Mom and I hadn't exactly patched up what happened a year ago, but honestly I really just didn't want to. I agreed to be her maid of honor to help her and be the bigger person and it felt like the right thing to do, after all she is my mom.
"Brooklinn! Hey, come dance with me!" she said more as a command rather than an offer. I looked at Louis. He had a stern look on, he met my gaze and I had my 'what the hell should I do! She's my mom' look on my face. His features smoothed out a little but not much. "If anything happens I'll be right over here I promise." He pulled me in for a hug and kissed me on the cheek. As he did he whispered "Love you don't let her put you down." He pulled away and I looked at him, his eyes were full of concern. He really was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I turned to mom as she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the floor where we began to dance and she tried to strike up a conversation. "So, how have you been lately?" I looked at her completely baffled, "Erm, I've been well," I struggled with my words. She smiled and continued to dance as she continued to fire questions, "Where are you living?" This question kind of irked me. "With Louis, Rosie and Harry in the English country side, in a 9 room mansion. And have been since I left. " I explained with spite in my voice. She pretended not to notice, but she wasn't all that great at acting. "That's great! Do you like it there? How's Rosie?" The song we were dancing to had ended, taking that as a leeway to escape from this uncomfortable situation.
"Well it's been nice chatting with you mom but it's probably best that I got back to Louis. You know, make sure he stays out of trouble and what not." I began to walk back in the direction of the tables and saw Louis sitting there with Mason. 'Oh shit.' Was all I could think. I started to make a beeline to them until mom grabbed me, "Sweetie, I want to spend more time with you how about we go for a walk for a little while?" I looked at her, then the boys and back again. I agreed reluctantly, figuring she couldn't do anything too horrible to me. She dragged me by the arm again out to a garden outside the venue I didn't even know existed. All I was thinking about though was that Louis would be okay with Weston, I hoped.
Louis' (POV) I made my way back to Brooke's grandparents table before I got intercepted by the newly wed groom. "Hey there! I don't believe we've met! I'm Mason! You're Louis, Brooke's boy right?" He put his hand out in the space between us. I grasped it and shook it firmly before I responded, "Yes sir, that's me. Pleasure to meet you, Congratulations." I stated as politely as I could.
