The Second Chance

Chapter 4: Wedding Rehearsals And Coffee Cups

Juliet's POV

The sun shined brightly through the curtains and spread out over the large bed. Opening my eyes, I groaned as the light blinded me. Turning my head away from the bright light, I stuck out my hand and frowned when my hand touched a cold mattress.

"Reid? Where the hell are you?" I saw Reid's dress shirt on the floor by the bed, so I bent down and threw it on, buttoning it up enough to cover the majority of me. Walking out of the bedroom, I looked around the main living area and still no sign of Reid. Going back through the bedroom, I stuck my head into the bathroom and sighed in irritation when he still didn't appear. Going over to the nightstand I picked up my cell and scrolled through the contacts until I reached his name.

Hey this is Reid, leave a message. He wouldn't leave after… there's no way he would. Would he? Throwing the phone at the wall, I turned around when the room door opened.

"Hey babe, got coffee." I glared at Reid and he stared back. "What's wrong?" Turning on my heel, I went into the bathroom and slammed the door, locking it behind me. Sitting on the edge of the Jacuzzi tub, I put my face in my hands and tried to keep from crying. I was so angry, but relieved at the same time.

"Go away!" I yelled when Reid knocked on the door. Wiping a tear away, I grabbed a towel that was hanging by the Jacuzzi and twisted it in my hands.

"Juliet, open the door. Come on tell me what's wrong. I'm not going away so you may as well let me in." He knocked a few times, and when I didn't open the door, he knocked a few more times. "Alright fine, but I'll knock on this door all day if I have to. I paid for this room for three days. That's a shit load of knocking!"

I laughed, but it came out as a sob. When the knocking got really annoying, I threw the towel into the tub and went over to the door, opening it. "You weren't here." I told him, wiping away another tear.

"Yeah I went to get coffee, I already told…wait a second, you thought I left you, as in not coming back? Oh god Jules." He wrapped me in his arms and pushed my head against his shoulder. "I'm sorry, I should have left a note, but I couldn't find paper or a pen, and I thought I'd be back before you woke up. I didn't mean to make you think that I'd leave you after last night."

The heat from his body relaxed me and I sighed. "I over-reacted. I'm sorry." Reid took my face in his hands and kissed me. I kissed him back then locked my arms around his neck. "I love you." I told him, planting a kiss on his shoulder.

"I love you too Bookworm. By the way, does your dad know you're in a hotel with me?" He pulled back and looked at me with narrowed eyes, probably praying I didn't tell my dad about Reid and mine's after grad party.

"No way, he'd kill you. Told him I was staying over at Ally's. She said she'd cover for me."

"So Ally knows about last night then?"

"Yup, she's the one who advised me on the shoes that you love so much."

"Well then maybe you should thank her."

"Perhaps I should. So do we really have this room for two more days?" I asked, looking back to the bed and reliving last night in my head.

"Yes we do. I wonder what we could do for two days." Reid lowered his head and kissed the spot below my ear. Backing us towards the bed, I laid down and he kneeled over me, sucking on my earlobe.

"You're insatiable you know that?" I told him, closing my eyes and wondering what we were going to do today. Suddenly I remembered what was planned today. "Reid stop, we need to get to the church!" I said, sitting up and pushing him off of me. I looked around the room and realized I hadn't packed any clothes to take here, but to be fair I didn't know I was going to be here last night.

"Juliet calm down ok? Listen we'll stop off at home, shower and get to the church. By the way why do we need to go to the church again?" I looked at Reid like he had completely lost his mind.

"The wedding rehearsal! We're both in the wedding, and the rehearsal is this afternoon at 12:30 pm, and it's already…11:00 am. Oh my god, we're so going to be late, and Angela and my dad's wedding is going to be a disaster, and it'll all be your fault!" I yelled, pointing my finger at him and giving him the evil eye.

"Two words Jules; De. Caf. But I see your point; about being late, not about it all being my fault. Which I don't even want to know how you came to that conclusion."

Getting dressed in what we arrived in, we headed out and hopped into Reid's car, speeding off to Reid's house. Since we only had a limited time, I agreed to the shared shower, but only showering, which he reluctantly agreed to. We got in record time, and got dressed. As soon as I finished drying my hair, my cell phone rang.

"Hello? Oh hey daddy, yeah sorry about that, I lost track of time. So what did Ally say? Yeah, I was. I forgot a change of clothes. Alright, hey is Reid there yet? Well I'm sure he'll be there soon, he knows how important this is. Ok, I'll see you soon, love you daddy." Hanging up I spun around when I heard laughter behind me.

"Lying to your dad now huh, you rebel." Reid smiled, coming over to me and kissing me.

"I had to ask, he doesn't know we spent the night together." I replied, pulling apart and going through the bedroom door. "Come on Blondie, let's go get married." I smiled to myself as he stood there motionless by the dresser. Laughing out loud, I ran down the stairs to get my shoes on.

"Ha-ha very funny." Reid grumbled, following me down to the front door. "I'll have you know I would marry you in a second." He kissed me again, tapped my nose, and walked out the door the door to the car, leaving me standing there speechless.

Shaking my head when he called out to me, I hurried out and shut the door, running to the other side and getting in. "You would not…would you? I mean not like I'm planning on it or anything…" Apparently I fail at coming off casual.

"Relax Jules, ok? I'm in no hurry to get married and I'm sure you aren't either." Reid smiled, and took my hand. However I noticed when he looked back to the road, something in his eyes changed. Something has been altered, and I'm not sure if it's for better or for worse.

We arrived at the church and the rehearsal started. With our casual clothes on, it looked strange to be doing this, but I knew rehearsals were done in casual clothing. Dad and the guys were instructed to stand at the front of the alter. Kira, Ally and I stood across from them at the bridesmaid and maid of honor spots, and the priest stood between us. Music started and Angela walked through the door with her veil on. When Angela got to the front, she handed her bouquet to Kira, and my dad and her took hands. As the priest talked about how the vows would happen, and the exchange of rings, I looked over at Reid. He wasn't looking at the married couple to be, he was looking at me.

He smiled at me, and I smiled back. That same look from the drive over was in his eyes, and the only thing I could do for the remainder of the rehearsal was try to decode that look. Did he think I wanted to get married to him? Did he have the same future planned out that I did? Or wanted? As the rehearsal ended, Reid took my hand, and in a daze, I followed him out of the church. Looking up at him, he seemed to be a million miles away, instead of right next to me.
