The next Friday evening the Puerto- Rican parked his car in front of Rush's house and went to the front door. Before he could even reach the bell, she answered the door; already dressed with her coat and with a small suitcase and the dress in her hand.
"Hey. Ready to roll?" he asked her and took her things. He went to the car, where he put the case and the dress to his own luggage at the back seat. Lil joined him after closing her door and sat down at the passenger seat.
"Where are your kittens?" he asked, while he slowly drove out of town.
"Kat takes care of them, well actually her daughter. She's really into cats, so she's happy to can take care of some." She smiled.
They left town and drove to the small town two hours outside of Philly, where the wedding would take place.
"You're nervous?" Valens asked after a few minutes.
"No. Just tired!" she answered and suppressed a yawn.
"We will be there soon! I promise." The young man answered and concentrated again at the street.
"Okay. Tell me a little bit of your friend!" he continued.
"Well, there's not much to tell. We met at a case with a young boy who lost his parents. I was homicide and she was a social worker and took care of the boy. Well we met very often because of the case and so we talked a lot."
"And than you became friends?"
"Well kind of. We met a many times after the case. And then we sent us cards for Christmas and birthday. Well and now I'm invited to her wedding. That's the story."
"I see. Well than let's have some fun at this wedding!" Scotty answered with a smile.
"Well. We'll try." Lil answered again with a yawn.
"Okay. Now it's really time to get you there or otherwise you're going to sleep in the car."
"Don't be bothered. Can't sleep in cars!"
Half an hour later they got to the old property. Valens parked his car next to the others at a small car park opposite to the big building. He took the two bags and followed Lil to the entrance. They entered a big hall with a white tiled floor and white columns. The two went to the small reception at the left side, where an old man was standing in a dark blue uniform.
"Hey! We're here for the Fordham wedding. My name is Lillian Rush!"
The old man took a big book and than answered:
"I see. Mrs. Rush and Mr. Valens, there's a double room booked for you. It's at the second floor, room 24. The elevator is back there."
He gave her the keys and Valens and Rush left for the lift.
"Can't believe they booked this whole building!" Lil said after they reached their room.
"Hey. It's not so big, is it? Besides it's really nice, don't you think?"
"You like it?" Lil was surprised. They started to unpacked their cases.
"Well it's kind of romantic, far away from everything, it's old. And I bet they have a great park behind the house."
"Wow, Scotty. That's something I wouldn't have expected. You have a romantic side?"
"There are many things you don't know about me!" he simply answered.
She just smiled.
After finishing, Lil went to the bathroom to change her clothes. Scotty let himself fell on the bed and when his partner returned he was fast asleep. She smiled over this picture, then she turned out the light and went to her side of the bed. A few minutes later she was also sleeping like a log.
Sorry for the long waiting. But now I finished the story, so I can send the new parts more frequently. Hope you enjoy the new part. R&R
