That is it.
She had enough.
She pulled up the park. Sometimes, she knew Chip took his students to the park to practice. She put her jeep into park and jumped out of it. Her eyes darted back and forward as she walked through the park. She spotted him working with one of the children. Then she saw Daggeron watching some older kids practicing sword fighting. She stalked over to him. She waited until the boys were finished before approaching him.
"Excuse me, Daggeron. Can I like…kidnap Chip for oh….until Sunday?" She asked sweetly. Daggeron blinked in surprise.
"I suppose so. Is everything well?" He said in confusion.
"Everything is fine. Me and Chip are going on a little trip." She said with a smile. He looked to Chip then her.
"I…never mind. Chip could use the time off. I will take over his Saturday class, Vida." He said.
"You're such a great friend. We tell you all about the wedding when we get back," She said with a grin. Daggeron blinked for a moment then opened his mouth a little. His mouth shut a second later.
Smart boy.
She marched over to Chip and grabbed his shoulder.
"Come on, dear…We have to go. Daggeron got the rest of your kids," she said.
"What? What is going on? Did something happen?" Chip said in confusion.
"Nothing…nothing. Well…something did happen. I'll explain once we get into the jeep."
"What about my stuff and my…"
She cut him off quickly.
"Your stuff is fine. I packed a bag for you in the back. The house is locked up. Miss Norris is taking care of Hiro for us. Everything is fine."
"Okay…." He frowned as he followed her to the jeep. She jumped into her jeep and watched Chip do the same. She started up the jeep and drove out of the park. She glanced over at Chip. He looked at her with a frown on his face.
"Okay…you can ask now."
"What's going on?"
"We are going to get married."
Out of the corner of her eye, he blinked in confusion.
"What? Why?"
"I'm sick and tired of mom. I had enough. I have spent 2 hours…2 HOURS on the phone with her debating wedding crap. It was something so…so…stupid. Who cares if the damn cards don't match with the flowers? It's just damn cards with numbers and letters on it. Who cares if the ring bearer isn't related to us? Your cousins are perfectly fine! Oh…the best part was the dress…AGAIN! She wanted me to try on my Aunt Jo's dress. SHE WAS TWICE AS BIG AS ME!" She screamed from the top of her lungs.
"Better?"
"No."
A moment of silence passed between them.
"So…we are getting married?"
"Yes."
She thought for a second and frowned.
"Damn, the court house is already closed," She said.
"What about Vegas?" He said in exciting tone.
"Vegas?"
"Yup…if we're going to Vegas, it would be fun and memorable. Mom and dad did it even if they did scare grandma. In fact, mom says we should do it." He said with a laugh.
She thought for a moment.
"What? Why?"
"Stress maybe…or the fact that I turned green at the sight of Rose's birthday cake." He said with a small grin.
She laughed.
"We couldn't have that, can we?"
"No, we couldn't. Mom hates it when we don't try her cooking"
She laughed.
"So true!"
She turned down the road heading out town. She couldn't believe that she was going to do it. She was going to get married. It wasn't a dream. It was reality. For the first time, she wasn't going to fight it.
Mrs. Vida Thorn?
No…no…Mrs. Vida Rocca-Thorn.
Mrs. Vida Thorn-Rocca?
She laughed to herself. It sounded like a badly named rap artist.
"What is so funny, V?"
"Nothing…Just…I can't believe I am getting married. I just never thought of myself that isn't going to happen. And..hehe how Mrs. Vida Thorn-Rocca sounds like a rapper's name."
He laughed.
"Well…it could be worse. It could be Chip Rocca."
She blinked and then she started to laugh. She felt his lips against her cheek. She smiled to herself.
"What ever you decide, V. I'll be happy."
"Even if I got a cake."
"Uhhh….Maybe not."
"CHIP!"
He laughed softly.
"Well…if you're going to be evil. How about a pink dress with ruffles?"
"You wouldn't dare!"
He smiled softly then turned toward the window.
"Then…how about a pirate outfit?"
"Huh?"
