Part Of Me?
Chapter 21.
Brax's POV
I wasn't a man that sat and talked about his feelings but I knew our wedding was important to Ricky, it's the day that we became one. I had to decide who I wanted as my best man: Heath or Kyle? Ricky's ring/ flowers. The license for the wedding. The vicar's fee. A gift for Ricky. Our honeymoon.
Best man: Kyle. I wanted Kyle to be my best man as I was Heath's and Kyle had never been a best man. What do I have to do next? I scroll down the laptop and it says I have to write my vows; the most important thing I'll ever say about Ricky.
What could I say about Erica Sharpe, that she wasn't going to kill me for? I ring Heath for advice, waiting for him to pick up. It rings for a few times, before I hear my brothers voice in my ear.
"Hey, "
"Hey Heath, " I greet, leaning one elbow on the kitchen counter.
"Hey mate, what's up?" Heath says.
"I need advice" I say.
"What advice?" He enquires.
"Wedding advice" I reply, knowing he's the only brother of us four to getting married; Kyle wasn't ready yet, and Casey never would.
"What about it?"
"What do I say about Ricky?"
"Tell her what she means to you. " Heath replies. "And don't stuff up, "
"Alright, thanks mate" I say.
"Bye, Brax" Heath says.
"Bye Heath" I reply.
I sit back down on the couch and pick up a piece of paper. Ricky meant a lot to me, but how I could put that in to words?
"I, Darryl Braxton, promise to be faithful to you, I promise to support you when your are in labour, in pain with our baby.
"Ricky your kind, funny, sharp, approachable, honest.
I love you Ricky, "
I folded the paper and put it in my wallet, I'll ask Heath or Kyle to look them over when we return to the Bay, in a few days time.
Ricky was sunbathing on the beach, giving herself a change of scenery, she had a notepad and pen in her bag, just in case inspiration struck her.
She had to buy Brax's ring, his suit and a present for him.
Ricky tapped the pen ag26ainst her chin as she tried to think of what to say about Brax.
I, Erica Sharpe, promise, you, Darryl that I will love, support and cherish you for as long as we live"
"I remember the first time I saw you, you were getting arrested for stealing. I was on the beach and as I was walking, I seen you badmouth a cooper, and you shot me a cheeky grin.
You'll be a good dad,
Love you, Ricky"
Ricky looked at the vows and closed the book, before looking at the time, she had to get back to the cottage, she stands up, dusts her clothes off before shouldering her bag, following the path way off the beach as she heads back to the cottage. She knocks on the door, waiting for Brax to answer as they only had the one key between them.
i answer the door. "Hey"
Ricky puts her handbag down. "Brax " She whines.
"Um?" I answered her.
"I think we should get married"
"We are, " I remind her, arching an eyebrow.
"In two weeks?"
"Ricky. " I replied, shocked. "There's no way we'd pull together a wedding in two weeks, "
Sheher o pouts at me.
And suddenly a thought strikes me. "You want to get married before the baby comes don't you?"
"Yes, Brax" She says. "I can't wait to be Mrs Braxton"
"I must be mad, " I say, sitting up from my position where I'd been lying with my arms behind my head.
She looks at me, wondering what I'm going to to say.
"But we can get married in two weeks. "
She kisses my cheek. "You won't regret this, "
"I better not, " I reply, smirking. She kisses my lips again as I slip my hands under her tee shirt
"Are you trying to get me pregnant again?" She jokes as I explore her body.
"Nope," I say, pulling her top over her head, unhooking her bra as it falls to the floor. I pick her up, carrying her over to the bed.
"That was amazing.." Ricky says.
"Amazing" I say, stroking her hair.
"Now I'm hungry" She says.
I chuckle, getting out of bed. "What do you want?" I say, opening the fridge and pulling out the tubs I'd stored food in and called out the labels of the food that were in them.
"tiramisu" She says. I take it out the fridge, the desert is all she's been craving this pregnancy. I put it on a plate and hand it to her as she breaks a piece off and she pops it in to her mouth. I laugh.
"What?" She says.
I shake my head, kissing the top of her head, she lays her head on my chest, I run my hands through her hair, secretly thinking how were we going to pull off a wedding in two weeks, I was gonna need Kyle and Heath's help on this one.
Thank you for reading. Enjoyed writing this chapter.
