Chapter 25 "Oh! Darling"

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

Church bells rang out loudly as Spinner took one last look at himself in the mirror and sighed. 30 more minutes and he would be saying his wedding vows in front of all his friends and family. He couldn't believe it, the day had finally come to marry the girl he loved. He smiled to himself as thought of Darcy and how far they had come over the past year. He smoothed his hands over his tux and readjusted his bow tie. God, was Darcy this nervous too? he wondered. Letting out a huge breath, he heard a heavy pound on the door. It was Craig. He walked into the room adorned in a black tux wearing his usual Ray-bans.

"Don't worry you look good but not as good as me," Craig said removing his sunglasses and spinning around. Spinner grinned and rushed over to him. "Very funny! Get over here! Didn't think you'd show up man," Spinner said giving him a bear hug.

"Couldn't leave one of my best friends hanging," he said handing him a white envelope.

"What's this?" Spinner asked. Craig slyly smiled.

"Just a wedding present and an apology for making such an awful scene yesterday. Go ahead. Open it up!" he said waving his arms around like a little child.

"Okayyy," Spinner replied looking at him a little bewildered.

He tore open the envelope which contained a special card with Craig's handwriting (or rather chicken scratch in Spinner's opinion). He studied it for a while before handing it back. "Dude I totally can't read your writing! " he replied.

"St. Bart's! One week. All expenses paid." Craig announced.

"What?! You're joking right?" Spinner said somewhat excited.

"Yeah, my record company has a timeshare for artists and since my contract is expunged in a few weeks I figured I better use it soon. You know stick it to the man," he explained.

Spinner was still in shock.

"Dude seriously? I mean you should take Ashley. Darcy and I...we can't accept a gift this expensive!" he said handing it back.

"First of all how'd you know me and Ashley got back together?" Craig asked walking around the room. Spinner laughed.

"This gift wasn't the only reason you wanted to talk to me. That smirk and that swagger give away all the details of last night." Craig shook his head.

Besides you guys always get back be told I always thought you guys would get married before I ever did!" he revealed.

Craig raised his eyebrow. "Seriously? I guess you don't remember that disasterous proposal back in high school." Craig nervously joked while messing with various things on the mantel.

It was rare for Craig to talk about that whole incident or anything partaining to the discovery of his bipolarism. Spinner hadn't heard him mention it since high school.

" So what? That was then and this is guys love each other, right? Come on, I know you've thought about it. Dude, you're the only guy I know who has planned his perfect wedding from the age of eight. From the perfect location right down to flowers, the dinner plates, and the napkins." Spin said as Craig kept walking slowly around the wall.

"Ok so I'm a romantic, but what's wrong with that? But the facts are Ashley doesn't want to get married. She asked me to go back to Vancouver and go to rehab while she works on her 'issues'. She should want me to stay right? She claims she's a 'distraction'," he explained.

"Well there is some truth to that. You've always been so love drunk when it comes to Ash. She's hurting too. I mean being abused by Jimmy and the baby's death. She was going through that all alone. I just wish she would have told us," Spinner said sadly.

"I know but still," he added.

"She's doing all this because she loves you. People never get as many chances as you," he explained.

"Ten years. We've been at this for ten years Spin, don't think I haven't thought about marrying her but..." Craig replied.

"But what? Look don't waste another second. Man up and get yourself together. Darcy means the world to me Craig and each day I have with her....well I don't want to take it for granted. Life is too short. You never know what might happen, " he said tearing up turning his back to Craig.

Craig didn't know what to say or do. He had never seen Spinner this emotional before.

"Spin, are you okay?" Craig asked watching him wipe his face.

"Just the nerves man, nerves..." he said pulling himself together.

"Well, I certainly don't want you to take this trip for granted. Take it, please. I would be insulted if you didn't," he said putting the envelope back in his hands.

"Fine but seriously Craig don't waste another second. I mean it. Promise me," he demanded.

"Ok... I promise," Craig said softly hugging Spinner.

Just then a knock emerged from the door. Ashley peaked her head inside the door as Paige walked right in.

"We're starting to line up downstairs in ten minutes so make the chit chat spiffy," Paige said.

Craig smiled right at Ashley. She smiled back darting her eyes down a little.

"Actaully I am feeling a little parched," Spinner replied grinning shamelessly at Craig. He looked at Ashley and then back at him. Craig gave him an annoyed glare.

"Well you are looking a little flushed. Here try some of my powder!" Paige suggested reaching into her purse.

"I'm not putting on any makeup! " he yelled.

"Lots of men wear makeup!" Paige argued as they walked out the door.

Ashley shook her head.

"Thank God those two aren't getting married," Ashley said walking in.

"Come here you," Craig motioned. Ashley came over and took his hand. "You look absolutely beautiful," he said spinning her around in her red dress.

"You know if my boyfriend found out about you, he'd be very jealous," she added kissing him. He grinned.

"Well he's going to be very jealous when he finds out where I'm taking you tomorrow," he told her.

Ashley looked confused. "Where are you taking me?" she asked somewhat excited.

"That's actually a good question. I haven't decided yet but trust me I have something very important in store for the afternoon but its still a surprise so don't think about asking me again. My lips are sealed," Craig explained as they began to walk out of the room.

"Seriously? You're not going to tell me?" she asked pouting a little.

"Nope," he said amused. She rolled her eyes and then laughed.

"Well anyways I just wanted to hi. We might not get to see each other that much today since I'm officially on wedding duty but I might be able to save a dance for you," Ashley explained.

"Really? Cause I don't dance," he teased.

"Fine, have it your way but I've got a surprise of my own tonight. Just you wait and see," she said poking him in the chest.

"You know why don't we just skip the wedding and head to the janitor's closet?" Craig suggested. Suddenly the smile on her face dropped. "What?" he asked.

" Yeah I don't think so and you know what? Go find your seat and stop harassing me! she joked back. He grabbed her and kissed her again making her feel lightheaded inside. They continued to kiss for a while before she pulled back.

"Okay, seriously go. The wedding is about to start at any minute," Ashley begged wiping his stained mouth.

"Fine, fine but this isn't over!" he yelled.

"Bye!" she waved swiftly shaking her head. He blew her a kiss and headed off to the sancturary.

She hated to admit it but she loved every little corny moment she had with Craig. As she smiled to herself she saw Paige walking back into the hallway carrying a huge yellow envelope.

"What's that?" Ashley asked.

"I was about to ask you the same question. Its for you. Doesn't say who its from," she said handing her the package.

Ashley looked puzzled as she opened it. There was a note attached to a DV-R.

"Seeing is believing. Don't trust anything Craig tells you."
