Well guys, we've reached the end of this story :) all in all, I think it had a pretty great turn out. And for it's finale, I had to give you guys a little smut. :)
p.s. I'm sorry if this chapter makes no sense, It did not turn out the way I envisioned it in my head, that and I was literally up till 8 in the morning writing, so my brain is a little fried and there might be some grammar errors here and there. But hey, one bad chapter out of 24 won't kill ya! lol.
I'm gonna get rid of that voting chapter, I just wanted to get them all done before I did because if I try and update the same time I delete a chapter, the current one won't upload for some reason.
As the night came to an end, Paul and I said our goodbyes and walked back to our room on the other side of the house hand in hand. Paul shut the door as I sat down on the bed and couldn't stop smiling and staring at my beautiful ring. It was mine, he was mine, everything was perfect.
"Hey you" he said softly as he walked up to me "still staring at it, huh?"
"Yes" I said with a cheesy grin "I can't help it, it's just so beautiful"
"You're so beautiful" he said sitting down on the bed and lifting my chin up with his fingers
"Why me?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers
"why not? Stephanie you're everything and more that I could have ever asked for in a woman, if every man on this earth knew how great of a woman you are, they'd all risk their lives to try and get you. But luckily for me, you're my little secret and you're all mine" he said as he leaned in and gave me a kiss.
I looked down as I blushed, but I didn't stay there long before Paul lifted up my chin again. "Stephanie," he said softly
"yes" I said staring into his eyes
"Stephanie, I just want you to know how much I love you and how much I truly admire you baby and everything that you have done and continue to do for us. I know that sometimes I cause problems but it's only because I love you and want to protect you at all times. You mean the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you. Basically what I'm trying to say is...Stephanie, you are my world, you're my whole pride and joy, you're the reason why I wanna wake up in the morning, you keep me motivated and make me happy. Only you know who I am truly am and what I'm all about, only you can make me get those butterflies when you look at me, only you can make me smile, even when you're not trying to. Only you can make me feel like I'm the only man in the world...Stephanie you are my life, and I mean that. Paul's eyes started to swell up with tears.
Oh my god, he's crying. I thought to myself
"Paul" I said reaching up and touching his cheek. "I love you so much" I said as my voice begin to choke up with emotion as well.
He smiled.
"And I know you love me" I said smiling.
"I really really do baby"
"Then show me" I said. My eyes and voice both filled with lust and desire.
Paul leaned over and kissed me passionately before moving to my neck, I let my head fall back as he tortured my neck with a dozen tiny, but tantalizing kisses. I moaned softly as he pulled back.
He stood up and took off his shirt, just this simple movement turned me on. The way his beautiful blonde locks rested on his shoulders, the way his veins popped out of his arms when he moved them, the way his six pack abs harden every time he breathed, damn, this man was a living god.
He then grabbed my hand and I stood up in front of him. He looked me right in the eyes as he started to unbutton my shirt, as he removed it, I let it fall to the ground and it wasn't long before he removed my bra. While he was doing that, I untied his khaki shorts and he stepped out of them the moment they fell to the ground, and then he took off his boxers. He slid my shorts and panties down and they to fell to the ground as I stepped out of them. His chest rose with each breath as he stepped back from me and looked at my nakedness. With the tips of his fingers he traced the outline of my face and down past my shoulders and stopped when he reached my breasts. He grabbed the small of my back and gently laid me down on the bed. And begin to kiss my lips and then my neck again.
He licked a trial down from the center of my chest, down to my stomach, dipping into my navel. My breathing became shallow as I anticipated what was to come. He went lower and separated my legs and his tongue touched my clit, my body jolted from the powerful sensation. He held me down as I squirmed while he sucked on my clit and entered me with his fingers, pushing them deep inside of me and hitting that spot, almost sending my body leaping from the bed. I moaned and grabbed the edge of the bed, the sheets beneath me were saturated with my moisture. I whimper as his fingers slip out of me again, escaping my wall's clutches. Paul knows exactly what he's doing and knows exactly how far to bring me before taking me over the edge. He smiles as he thrusts his two fingers back into my weeping wet walls which causes my body to press against the cool, crisp sheets. Heat races through my entire body as he reaches up and touches one of my breasts. His touch is soft and sensual, and I moan as he slowly comes up my body and his mouth goes to my left breast, sucks in a nipple, twirls his tongue over it, then moves onto the right one, doing the same thing. My body shivers as he gives each of my breasts equal attention, licking and sucking and nibbling, while skillfully manipulating my clit with his fingers. My whole being responds to his touch and it wasn't long before he was torturing my clit again.
I gasp as he sucks my clit into his mouth, licking me with the wide, flat surface, then rolling his tongue and flicking it with the pointed tip. The hot wetness of his mouth mingles with the sizzling heat and moisture of my excited p*ssy, causing me to feel lightheaded. I am on the brink of coming as the walls of my p*ssy spasm. He then began to swirl his tongue around my clit. Paul was so good at this, he was good at everything. It was driving me insane. Paul could sense the orgasm that I was about to have, he sped up the process and I gripped his head and arched my back and screamed out his name. He gripped my waist to keep me from moving anywhere. When I finished my orgasm, he started his trail of kisses from my clit, stomach, breasts, neck and then my lips. When he reached my lips he paused and took a look at me. I opened my eyes and met his, and he brought his lips to mine. When he did, he lifted my hips in the palm of his hands and slid inside of me, so smoothly, so gently. We moaned.
I could feel the tears swell up, not because it hurt but because it felt so good, so right. We connected like a puzzle, one was nothing without the other.
"Baby don't cry" Paul said as he looked down at me and kissed my tears away. "Don't you know how much I love you?" He said as he continued to thrust even deeper and harder. His body was a perfect fit for mine. With every thrust it seemed I felt my blood warm and flow through my vessels, igniting every nerve in my body. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer, feeling him breathe against the side of my face while he moved inside of me, taking me higher than I'd ever gone before. My clit continued to throb, heightening the pleasure of Paul thrusting inside of me.
"yesssss" I hissed
We performed every position I knew, including my favorite with me sitting on him with his back pressed against the headboard and his arms holding my back pulling me deeper into him. I tossed my head back while he flicked my nipples with his tongue. Whenever I straddled him, he went so deep inside of me that I felt he would go straight through me. Every position we moved into, I climaxed. Chanting his name, louder each time, I wonder if my parents could hear me, I sure hope not. Every time when I felt there was no way I could climax again, I did. I was so wet that Paul easily slid in and out of me, without resistance. He entered me from behind while holding my ass in his hands, he climaxed too this time, but instead of pulling out and lying beside me, he continued to move inside of me until he had achieved another erection. He turned me over and entered inside of me from the front and rode me long and hard as both of our bodies were covered in sweat and the sounds of our sex juices echoed in the air along with our moans and groans.
I was drained, but Paul's tempo never slowed, even after I felt I could no longer move my hips in sync with his. He was moving to his own beat but definitely with the goal of taking me higher and higher. I felt my body floating away, I closed my eyes and relinquished myself to him, my arms went limp. When I thought of lifting them, my body felt paralyzed, no longer responding to my will.
"I'm yours" I whispered. As soon as I said that, he climaxed again. This time he went limp on top of me, breathing heavily, squeezing my breasts against his chest. I still couldn't move, I couldn't lift them to wrap them around his body. I couldn't do anything. Paul finally rolled off of me and laid beside me and placed my head on his chest. I inhaled deeply, breathing in the cologne he was wearing. We were both too exhausted to speak, but I didn't mind, because everything that just happened, spoke for itself.
I don't think last night could have been any more perfect, I made love to my boyf...scratch that, my fiancé, and you couldn't even count the number of times on two hands. There was just something different about our love making, I guess because we were both connecting on an emotional level that neither one of us had reached before until now. Last night was just magical, and I couldn't wait to see what our wedding night would be like, I don't think it's possible to get more enticing than last night, but if it is, I can't wait to find out.
"you ready to go baby?" Paul asked as he walked into the room "I have our suitcases loaded and ready to go"
I looked up at him from where I was sitting over by the window and smiled.
"Oooh, I know that smile" he teased as he walked over towards me and sat down in front of me.
I said nothing and smiled again
"baby, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, waking up to that beautiful smile each and everyday is going to kill me"
This time I tried to show all 32 as I smiled bright. "Really?" I squealed as I covered my mouth
"Yes" he said grabbing my hand from my face, "and you know it" he said as he tickled me
"Paul stop" I said as I laughed and tried to swat his hands away, but his fingers were much too fast and we fell on the floor laughing
"everyday Stephanie, everyday will be spent like this with you laughing or smiling and I won't stop until it happens"
Was it even possible to love this man more than I did? He just knows when to say the right things at the right time, and the best part of it all, is that he meant every single word of it. From our position on the floor, our foreheads were inches apart and he was staring into my eyes and I was staring into his. I leaned in and captured his lips in a torrid kiss, I moaned as our tongues entangled around the other and he ran his hand through my freshly curled locks. He could pull it all out for all I cared, all I wanted was for him to pick me up and toss me on that bed and do every single thing to me right now that he did last night. I moaned as I felt his hand travel to my butt and squeeze it gently before squeezing it a little harder and scooting me closer to him. Making love on the floor? ha! that wouldn't be new to us, not considering all the places he had me last night. I took my hand and slowly slid it down his chest until I came to the opening of his t-shirt where he didn't button it. I slipped my hand in there and felt his hard, warm pecks against my hand, I was about to go lower when he gently grabbed my hand and pulled away from the kiss.
"as much as I want to right now" he said resting his head on mine "we're going to miss our flight"
I chuckled. "Dad is not going to leave us" I said smiling
"You forgot that he is hanging around Frank now, Frank will talk him into anything"
My eyes widen "that's true" I said getting up
Paul stood up. "you got everything?"
I glanced around the room for a short second, not moving out of my spot and then my eyes connected with Paul's again. "yep, all I need is standing right in front of me"
Paul blushed. "Oh, stop it you" he said putting one hand to his mouth as he flicked the other one down, real girly like which made me laugh.
"Come on, you" I said grabbing his hand "we have a plane to catch
"I'm right behind you, Mrs. Levesque"
The last few weeks have been hectic for Paul and I as we've both been very busy. He's been catching up on a ton of work he missed over our two week vacation and i've been running mad with wedding plans. The wedding is far away, but thank god I started early as every place i've tried has either been booked or totally sucked and looked nothing like it did in the magazines or articles. On top of that, I still haven't found a dress, and the designer that I wanted to do my dress hasn't got back to me yet, I think he's making a dress for Kim Kardashian's, what, 50th wedding already? ugh, dumb slut, let someone who is really in love get married. Anyway, to say the least, Paul and I barely see one another and it's been stressful on both sides. He wants to see me and I know I desperately need to see him. He's flying in early today from a business trip he had and I was expecting him in a few hours, I was going to get home and fix him a nice meal, give him a little rub down and put on something a little sexy and remind him why he missed me so much and why he should work from home more.
I hopped out of the car and started walking towards the steps, I thought I heard someone behind me, but when I turned around saw no one and I ignored it. As I got closer, I heard the footsteps again so I quickly spun around, before the guy could hide, I saw him.
"hey!" I called out as he stopped "who are you?"
"So, you don't remember?" he said
I know that voice. I thought to myself "ke...kenny?" I said
"Hi, Marie,...long time" he said slowly turning around
"Wha..what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you," his voice was different, it wasn't his normal geeky tone, but it was serious and scary.
"Kenny, you need to leave...this is my house"
"Yeah" he said looking around "nice place you got here...how did you afford it?"
"That's none of your business" I snapped
"That little boyfriend of yours?" he asked
"Kenny...you need to leave"
"why?" he asked taking a step closer
"Don't" I said holding up my hand "come near me"
"Why?" he repeated as he took another step "I've been thinking about you, so much"
"kenny..."
"Why did you leave me Marie? you left me for a really long time. I missed you dearly" he said walking up the steps as I backed up them
"stay back Kenny"
"why? we're friends, remember?"
"I am not your friend"
"You're right, you're much more than that" he said tilting his head to the side "so tell me Stephanie, where have you been all this time?"
"Kenny you need to...wait, how the fuck do you know my name?"
"I know lot of things" he said shrugging his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal
"How much do you know?" I asked
"Enough" he said glaring at me, as if to warn me not to ask him that again "But what I don't know is why you left" he said tilting his head again, but this time to the opposite side. "Paul didn't make you leave, did he?"
"Kenny, what the fuck man" now this was getting scary, as if it already wasn't.
"I told you" he said taking another step "I know things"
"Kenny, i'm gonna call the co.."
"No you're not" he said, his tone changing to one that was very dark and deep. "if you know whats good for you, you won't" he said calmly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like pictures. "Here" he said tossing them at me.
I picked them up and they were very very private and creepy photos. "Did you take these?" I said looking up at him as I looked back down at the pictures of me walking, getting in the car, brushing my hair in my room, in the shower, in bed...with Paul.
"Maybe" he said calmly
"Did you or didn't you!?" I asked more sternly
"Yes, yes I did"
"Kenny, you're fucking crazy" I said
"That might be true" he said taking another step towards me. "Let me ask you a question Stephanie, do you remember that night you danced for me?" he said looking up at the night sky "It was a Thursday, slow day at the club and some pro ballers came in. Do you remember that Stephanie?" he said looking back at me.
"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked
"You made me feel so special. You made me feel like I was the only man in the world at that moment"
*Flashback*
"Marie, you're simply amazing" Kenny said as he placed another twenty dollar bill in my breast
I smiled down at him. I've been dancing on Kenny for the last twenty minutes and I have to admit, this was the first time in a long time that I wasn't bothered by his presence. Usually seeing him made me want to throw up on site, but tonight was different, I guess it was because I was still mad at Paul from our fight earlier. That, and I think I saw him come in the club, and dancing all over Kenny would only piss him off. Even though Kenny is no competition to Paul by any means, I knew that the thought of his girl dancing on another guy killed him.
Just as I turned around to shake my ass in his face, I heard a bunch of the girls screaming and running over towards the VIP section of the club. I rolled my eyes when I saw why.
Figures. I thought to myself. They were running over there to all of the football players that had just walked in. They knew they could make top dollar with them as barely no one on the floor was paying them enough money or attention for that matter. When it came to the floor, I usually took over and made all the money, and when the players came in, I let the girls handle that. I just didn't like dancing for celebs, they felt they're owed something and if they tell you to bark than you should just because they're throwing at twenty or fifty dollar bill in your face. I like money, but I don't like it that damn much, I might be a stripper but you're not going to take away my damn self repeat and dignity for a few hundred dollars, so i'll leave that to those who don't care and are just money hungry.
"You can go over there...if you want" Kenny said as he looked down
I turned around lifted his chin with my fingers. "No, it's okay baby" I said as I placed both hands on his shoulders "I'm just fine here, with you" I said as I lowered myself and gave him a little peck on the cheek before I started dancing again.
*End of FB*
"You made me feel like there was a chance for us Stephanie, for you and I to be together. But then Paul showed up, he showed up and took away my one little bit of happiness. I loathed him you know, I thought of ways that I could...get rid of him, so to speak. Then you would be vulnerable and would need a shoulder to cry on and I would be there for you and then we could finally be together." he said walking up the final step "I want that special moment again, Stephanie, and i'm going to have it whether you give it to me...or I take it."
"You're fucking crazy!" I shouted as I turned around to run towards the door but he was quick and grabbed ahold go my arm and squeezed it tightly.
"HEY!" he said spinning me around to face him "I SPENT GOOD MONEY ON YOU!" he said pointing a finger in my face "AND YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!"
"GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I said as I kicked him in the nuts and took off for the door. The moment I got in, I locked the door and headed towards the kitchen to grab a knife incase he had a weapon of his own. I went to grab the phone and I heard glass break and before I could even blink, Kenny came in the kitchen. I rushed up the stairs as fast as I could, cursing myself for doing so. There's always that one dumb bitch in the movies who runs up the stairs when she should run outside, and today, I chose to be her. Thankfully I knew this house inside out and I know I could hide without him knowing where I was.
"STEPHANIE!" he yelled out as he came up the stairs.
I ran straight ahead towards a door that I knew lead to another one. As a matter of fact, it was the exact one that got me lost when I first visited Paul's home.
"STEPHANIE YOU COME BACK HERE NOW!" Kenny yelled when he finally reached the top of the stairs but I was already gone by then. I looked down at my hand and realized that it was cut and bleeding very badly, but what felt worse than that was the fact that the knife was missing! I must have dropped it when I cut my hand and didn't realize it until now.
"Shit!" I said to myself "shit, shit, shit!" No knife, no phone, just me in this big ass house with this crazy lunatic
"Steph, come out, baby we can talk about this" Kenny said as he looked around "I promise I won't hurt, just trust me"
I panicked as I saw his feet inching closer to the door
"baby are you in there?" he called out "come on now, I just want to talk"
I looked around and saw one of Paul's old baseball bats in the room, I grabbed it and held onto it for dear life
"you're being a very bad girl, Stephanie"
He really is fucking crazy. I thought to myself
I darted into the room next to the one I was in as I heard the knob on the door starting to move.
"She lock...you lock...YOU LOCKED THE FUCKING DOOR!" He yelled as he started banging on it. "OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW!" he said as he started to kick it.
Tears were running door my face as I waited in the next room, I had went the wrong way and now I was trapped.
"STEPHANIE YOU BETTER OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW!" He said kicking it as hard as he could until I finally heard it come open.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. All sorts of things were running through my mind, one being if he would kill me or not. I started to think maybe I should try and lure him out and then attack. It was really my only option, either that or just wait and see what he does to me.
"Ke...Kenny" I called out softly, it was now or never
"Yes, baby, is that you?" he asked
Of course it's me you fucking idiot, who else?
"Where are you?" I asked
"I'm out here, come out here with me"
"you promise you won't hurt me?"
"I promise, just baby please come out"
"Okay...i'm coming" I said as I tucked the bat down in the back of my pants and pulled my coat on over it. I slowly opened the door and there Kenny was, waiting across on the other side for me.
"there you are" he said smiling
"I'm sorry for being bad" I said as I took a few small steps towards him
"It's okay, I forgive you" he said walking towards me with a limp, I guess I kicked him harder than I thought. He came up to me and smiled. "You're so beautiful" he said stroking my face "and you're all mine"
"I'm all yours" I said as I tried to put on the best fake smile that I possible could.
He lowered his head and planted a wet, sloppy and disgusting kiss on my lips. He moaned as he went to grab my ass, but pulled his hands back when he felt the bat. "what's that?" he asked
"Oh, its..." I said as I turned around and pulled the bat from behind me, I swung for his head but he ducked with ease. I tried again but to no avail.
"Stephanie, you're making me very angry and we don't want that, now do we?" he said as he started walking towards me. I figured if I timed it just right that I could aim for his legs, as that would take him down and then I could swing away. As he got closer, I gripped the bat tighter, when he got close enough for me to take my one shot, I swung, and hard. I hit him square in his kneecap and he went down.
"AHHHHHH! FUUUUCK!" he cried out as he grabbed his knee.
"YOU FUCKING CRAZY BASTARD!" I yelled as I begin to go to work with the bat, hitting him on the leg again, on the back, on the arm, on the stomach, the butt, anywhere I saw was open, I took a shot.
"AHHHH!" he screamed trying to block my shots "STEPHANIE STOP!"
I took one last swing to his knee for good measure before I turned around and ran out of the door and downstairs. I grabbed the phone and I panicked when I didn't hear a dial tone. "SHIT!" I said aloud as I ran towards the door and back to my car. I realized that I left my cellphone in there, I had a bad habit of doing that, especially when I needed it most. I can't tell you the countless amount of times Paul had to walk out here in the middle of the night and retrieve it for me. I reached the car and opened the door. I sat in and immediately locked the door with the button. I reached over and grabbed my phone that was sitting in the passenger side. I quickly dialed 911.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"YES! PLEASE HELP ME!"
"calm down ma'am, what's the problem?"
"THERE'S A MAN HERE TRYING TO HURT ME!" I screamed into the phone
"Ma'am, where are you, are you anywhere safe?"
"I'm currently in my car" I said panting
"Can you get away ma'am"
"I..." I couldn't even reply as I noticed that my keys weren't in the car, they were still in the house from when I ran in. My night was going from bad to worse.
"Ma'am?"
I looked down at my phone as I heard it beeping, it would die any minute now. "FUCK!" I yelled in frustration
"Ma'am, are you there?"
"Yes, yes i'm here and no I can't get away, please send somebody to he..." I screamed as the window from my side of the car shattered and Kenny was standing beside it with the bat in his hand.
"You shouldn't have done that, Stephanie"
"HELP ME!" I screamed into the phone as he reached through the window and tried to grab me. I dropped my phone as Kenny opened the door and pulled me out. Even thought I beat him with all my strength, he was still strong as hell. When he bent down to grab my arm, I kicked him in the face and got up and took off running. The bad thing about it was that I was running down hill as Paul's house was very high up. I ran as fast as I could and I could see lights.
"HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I started screaming as I ran even faster, but just as I picked up speed, it dropped as I felt a sharp pain run through my entire body and I was on the ground before I knew it. Kenny had a tight grip on me and we rolled straight down the hill, hitting everything in our path. We landed on a flat surface and I tried to get up but he grabbed me. "SOMEBODY HELP!"
"SHUT UP!" he yelled as he tried to cover my mouth but I bit him "FUCK!"
"Hey!" one of the neighbors called out "is everything alright out there?"
"NO! HEL.."
"SHUT UP!" he yelled as he punched me square in my face and I went out cold.
"Hello!?"
"everything is fine!" Kenny called out " My girlfriend just gets a little crazy when she drinks" he said as he pulled my unconscious body onto his shoulders..
"are you sure?" the neighbor asked, trying to get a good view of what was happening?
"Yeah!" Kenny yelled back "we're good!" he said as he turned around and headed back towards the house.
When I woke up, I saw blurs at first until my vision started to clear and I saw Kenny tending to his wounds. He got up and started limping very badly, as he grabbed the bandage wrap from the table. I tried to get up but my head was killing me and I was tied to the bed.
"wha...whats going on?" I asked
"shut up" Kenny said with a snarl as he finished wrapping his knee.
I looked around and saw that he had lit some candles. "Kenny, what are you going to do to me?"
"I SAID SHUT UP!" he yelled as he tried to stand but fell back into the chair
"The cops are coming!"
He smirked and then laughed. "No, they're not. I called and said it was you playing mind games with them and that you were very drunk and they laughed. I can be very convincing when I want to be Steph." he said as he went back to laughing.
I just let the tears roll down my cheek, as if I had a choice to anyway. This is not how I envisioned my night would turn out.
"So" he said walking towards me and taking his shirt off "i'm finally going to get to have my moment, aren't I?" he teased as he started feeling my body up and down. I wanted to throw up, this was absolutely sickening. "mmmm" he said licking his lips "You'll all I need and more" he said as he climbed on top of me.
"So, you're just going to rape me?" I asked as more tears fell
"Don't think of it that way" he said stroking my face "Think of it as us both getting what we want." he said with a smile as he lowered his head and kissed me on the lips before he started kissing on my neck.
I was about to accept my fate when all of a sudden the door to my bedroom knocked down.
"THIS IS THE POLICE! HANDS UP NOW! DON'T MOVE!" one office yelled as he came up behind Kenny and pointed his gun to the back of his head while the other place Kenny in handcuffs.
"Officers, this is all a big misunderstanding"
"SHUT UP!" the female cop said as she jerked him away in cuffs
"I'll be seeing you again Stephanie! I PROMISE!" he yelled as the officer walked out with him.
"are you okay, ma'am?" the male officer asked as he started to untie me
"where's my fiancé?" I asked
"They'll be here in a moment" he said as grabbed me gently and held me. "it's okay, he can't hurt you anymore" he said rubbing my back as tears flowed freely.
"STEPHANIE!? WHRERE IS SHE!?"
"PAUL!" I cried out
"STEPHANIE!" Paul said as he ran straight into the room and took me from the officer. "Baby, are you okay?" he asked as he planted a kiss to my head and held me close.
I said nothing as I just held onto him tight.
"Stephanie!" Frank said as he and Vince and the rest of my family ran in.
I left Paul's arm and ran into both of my father's arms. "It's okay baby, it's okay" Vince said rubbing my back
"you okay?" Frank asked
"I'm fine" I muttered
Shane walked over and gave me a hug from behind. "I'm going to kill that son of a bitch"
"You and me both" Paul said, fuming in the corner
"Leave room for us" Vince said
"Don't forget us" Anne chipped in, her fist balled. I've actually never seen her angry before, but she has good reason to be
"No, no" I said pulling out of their embrace. "I don't want to think about it right now, or even talk about it"
"We understand baby" Paul said walking over and rubbing my shoulders.
I turned and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I'm just glad that It's over, i'm just glad that it's finally over" I said as she rested my head in Paul's chest, just blessed to be surrounded by the love and care of her family and away from Kenny forever.
One year later
It's here, it's finally here, the day I've been waiting for, the day I marry the man of my dreams.
"Steph, you look beautiful" Linda said as she walked into the dressing one and gave me a kiss on the cheek
"absolutely stunning" Anne said as she hugged me from behind "you nervous?"
"Thanks, and yes, more than you will ever kn...well, I guess you do know"
They chuckled.
"It's just all coming to you at once, the moment you walk through the curtain and see his face, all this nervousness will be forgotten and the only thing you'll want to do is jump into his arms."
It's the not the wedding that I'm nervous about. I thought to myself
"Steph, are you all set to g...ohhh, you look beautiful" Patricia said as she walked over and hugged me
"Thank you" I said softly as I smiled at the woman who was about to become my mother-in-law
"Paul is a nervous wreck" she said shaking her head
"Really?" I said covering my mouth. I hope he's not thinking about backing out. I thought
"don't worry" she said squeezing my shoulder "it's a good nervous, I promise. I know my boy" she said with a smile
Good. Because there's so much he needs to know...So much. I thought as I gave her a smile
"well, i'm going to go and take my seat before everything starts" Pat said
"me too" Anne agreed "Bye baby, we'll see you after" she said giving me a kiss on the cheek before walking out
"Bye baby" Linda said before hugging and kissing me "you got this" she said pinching my cheek before walking out
"Bye guys" I said waving as I watched them leave and turn the corner. I let out a deep breath and looked into the mirror. I know what I look like, but it was the first time in a long time that I had truly looked at myself. Instantly a flashback came running through my head of the night Paul called me beautiful for the first time.
I smiled. With little memories like that, there was no doubting that I wanted to marry this man.
"all set sweetheart?" Frank said as he peaked in through the door, Vince right behind him.
"Yes" I said standing up and turning towards them
"You look beautiful" Vince said looking me up and down
"Hasn't she always?" Frank said as he smiled at me
I looped my arms through both of theirs as I took my place in the middle of the two. We walked to the end of the hallway before we stopped in front of the doors that led to the ceremony. I just closed my eyes for a minute and gathered all of my thoughts and envisioned what my new life was going to be like, our new life. I had no doubts that it would come with both the good and the bad but in the end it would be just perfect.
The music started and I opened my eyes, I turned and looked at both of my father's before giving them both a smile and I looked forward as the huge wooden doors opened. We walked in and the first thing my eyes saw was Paul. Paul and only Paul, not the decorations, not the guest and family members, not the orchestra playing in the background or anything else, just Paul, my man, my one and only. He was smiling from ear to ear, but I swear I saw him wipe at his eyes twice before I got to him.
"Who gives this beautiful young lady to this man?" the priest asked
Frank and Vince looked at me and smiled before they looked back at the priest and said "we do" in unison
I smiled hearing that. Just knowing what we all came from to get here meant everything to me, my fathers coming together, and me marrying the man of my dreams, what more could I asked for.
Paul came down the steps and hugged both of my father's before they kissed me and walked away to take their seats. As I stepped up into the alter, I smiled at Tim who was Paul's best man. He gave me a thumbs up and blew me a kiss and mouthed the words "I love you" to me.
"I love you too" I mouthed back to him as I took my place in front of Paul and we held hands and waited for the priest to begin.
"As we stand here today..." He began
As the priest was talking, I could no longer hold in a secret that i've been dying to tell Paul for a while now, no one knew but me and I wanted him to be the first to know. It was something I was going to tell him after or during our honeymoon, but considering all we've been through, I felt it'd be the perfect time and would make this moment even more special. While looking into his eyes, I took his hand that was currently in mine and placed it on my stomach and smiled. At first he furrowed his brows until it finally hit him what I was signaling him about. His eyes nearly popped out of their socket in shock. He mouthed the words "really? do you really mean it?" I nodded my head and watched as tears slowly began to form and then fall from his eyes, which in return made my eyes do the same. Without a second thought, Paul reached over and cupped my cheek and kissed me on the lips. The priest interrupted us and said, "heyyy, I know i'm moving slow but I haven't given you permission to do that yet." Everyone including Paul and I started laughing as we grabbed ahold of one another's hands again and gave the priest a nod of our heads so he could go on.
As I stood there, as I stood and looked into the eyes of the man I knew I loved as much as the child inside of me, I could see into our future and I knew there would never be a dull moment and that I would always be happy. Through all the pain, through all the obstacles put in front of me, through all the emotions of not knowing who I was and who truly loves me, none of that matter in this moment. Because in this moment, as I looked into those beautiful hazel brown eyes of my husband and the father of my child, I saw everything that I ever needed in one person. He was my true love, he was my heart, he was My Savior.
Well guys, hope you enjoyed it! if you did great! if you didn't; well that's your little red wagon, you can pull it or push it. I'm looking to update If You Only Knew How Much next and then Trophy Wife, I plan on doing it in that order so I won't hop back and forth like I've been doing. As usual, plans could always change, but I think i'm going to stick to it, so be on the look out for them! :)
