Previously.
It was Christmas.
The couple get set for the wedding.
Chapter 38.
It is the morning of the wedding, Joey got up early deciding she needed to go for a run and get her head together, she had intended on getting an early night, when she got back from being kicked out of Leah's, but Aden had other ideas and they sat outside on the swing drinking beer and talking. She found her running gear dressing quickly, before heading out of the door and heading to the beach, an hour later she walked through the door "Something smells nice." Joey said as she made her way into the kitchen. Aden was stood in his boxers and t shirt, cooking a large breakfast for two.
Charlie woke up from a restless nights sleep. She turned to look at the clock, "Shit I'm late. She grabbed her gown putting it on as she ran through the house to the kitchen where she found Ruby Leah and VJ sat at the table. "Why didn't you wake me? I have an hour to get my hair and make up done, I don't believe this." She shouted rushing around the kitchen but not really doing anything but flapping. "Charlie you have three hours, so I suggest you sit down have some breakfast and relax." Leah said. "Three hours? Leah look at the time we have less than an hour it's nine o'clock, look." She shouted as she looked at the clock on the wall. "Is that the right time?" She asked. "Yes. Charlie I know it's natural to be stressed on your wedding day but I didn't realise you were that bad you forgot how to tell the time." She teased. Charlie looked at her before running back to her bedroom to check the clock before walking back to the kitchen "Very funny, who was it?" Charlie asked looking between the three. Leah looked completely puzzled, and ruby didn't have the tell tale sign of the red patch on her neck to say she had been caught out, so that left VJ. As she turned to face him he started to laugh, "I was just making sure you got to you're wedding on time." He smiled. Charlie moved fast grabbing him around the waist before he had chance to escape and began tickling him. She tickled him until he begged her to stop, Leah and Ruby sat laughing. Leah then stood to make breakfast.
Charlie sat struggling to eat the beautiful breakfast Leah had provided, she felt sick with nerves. What if Joey changes her mind? What if something has happened to her? What if this is Joey getting her own back for all the crap I put her through, what better way than humiliation in front of the whole town? The thoughts kept running round and round in her head. She jumped up from the table rushing to her bedroom. She grabbed her phone and dialled the number. Waiting for what felt like hours until it was answered. "Hey babe." "Hey baby. I needed to talk to you." "Ok, do I need to sit down for this?" Joey asked worriedly, is she about to tell me she has changed her mind? "I needed to ask if you really want to go through with this wedding." Charlie asked nervously. "Charlie if you are trying to tell me you have changed you're mind, I would rather you just said it." "What? Joey I haven't but I started thinking that everything I have put you through in the past, you would change you're mind, you would realise you can do better than me. You haven't changed you're mind have you?" Joey let out a relieved breath. Laughing she said "Charlie listen to me. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, I love you and today will be the best day of my life, if you meet me on the beach and say I do." Charlie also let out a relieved sigh smiling she replied. "I love you too. Nothing will stop me from marrying you today, I'm sorry I had a wobble, but at least the wobble was you deciding not to marry me not me freaking out and not marrying you. I will see you shortly." They talked a few more minutes before saying goodbye.
Charlie walked back into the kitchen where she let a couple of tears escape. "Charlie what's wrong?" They asked concerned. "I have just spoken to Joey on the phone." "Oh my god, she hasn't cancelled has she?" Ruby asked quickly. "No I rang her, I suddenly felt sick and thought Joey would change her mind, after all the shit I have put her through, when I asked her she told me I was just being daft, she loved me and couldn't wait to marry me." She suddenly had a big grin on her face "Joey said she loved me and couldn't wait to marry me. I'm getting married. Can you believe it? I'm getting married." She hugged her friend and daughter before saying she was going for a bath.
Aden had watched his best friend go through a range of emotions during one telephone call. First she seemed happy, then her colour drained and she looked scared, shocked, and then relieved. Joey smiled at him, "That was Charlie; she was suffering from nerves and phoned to make sure I would still marry her. She also told me she loved me." Joey said with a huge grin on her face. Aden laughed as he threw a tea towel at her. Laughing Joey stuck her tongue out at him before skipping up the stairs to get ready.
Half an hour to go and Charlie was sat in her robe having her hair and make up done. "There you go, all done." Ruby who was also getting her hair done turned to look at her mum. "Wow mum you look gorgeous and you haven't even got dressed yet, you're hair looks perfect, and the colour of you're make up is beautiful, it really suits you." "Thanks Ruby, do you think Joey will like it?" Ruby and Leah laughed. "Mum you could get straight out of bed, run through a hedge backwards and Joey would still think you were the most beautiful woman in the world." Making everyone laugh. "Right lets get you into the perfect dress to match the perfect hair." Leah said as they made their way to the bedroom.
Joey was just getting dressed after she had her hair and make up done, she hated wearing make up but she wanted today to be perfect, for Charlie, once dressed she took a look in the mirror, wow I scrub up quite well, although, I will never be even half as beautiful as Charlie she though. As she made her way down the stairs Aden suddenly stood up whistled and walked across the room to greet his friend. "Joey are you really sure you're gay? Wouldn't you rather marry me instead?" He gave her a cheeky grin. "Aden honey, if I was straight I would definitely marry you, I mean how could I not, you are gorgeous." She laughed. "Jo you look absolutely beautiful. Charlie won't be able to keep her hands off you. Right we better not keep you're sexy lady waiting." With that Joey and Aden walked towards the wedding car. Charlie had told her they should both arrive in cars but Joey said it was wasting money as they lived on the beach, Charlie then managed to change her mind using her magic hands and lips. The driver had agreed to drive around the block.
Charlie was stood in the lounge with Ruby, Leah and VJ had already left. Suddenly Ruby cheered from the window, "It's here, the cars here." As she picked up her flower's ready to walk out. "Ruby wait, I want to tell you something." Charlie said still standing on the same spot, holding her daughters hand. "Ruby we have been through so much, losing mum, finding out that I was your mum instead of sister, losing dad, there were times when I thought we would never be close again, it took time but I feel we are as close as we once were. I love you Ruby, and I want you too know I always will. Marrying Joey will never change that." "I love you too. I know I didn't handle things well but I am really happy we are close again, and I'm really happy about you and Joey, she really loves you and brings out the best in you, I know you will be really happy together, I love you mum." They hugged quickly before Ruby asked if she was ready. Taking a deep breath she replied "Lets do this."
As Charlie's car pulled up she smiled when she noticed Joey's car was empty, she climbed out and Ruby made sure her dress lay properly. They had decided to have two carpets lay from either side, Elijah was waiting patiently in the middle and the guests were opposite him. The music started, Joey and Charlie set off from either end finally catching sight of one another, Ruby held her arm out to escort her mother down the aisle smiling as Aden did the same for Joey. They finally met in the middle, smiling widely at each other before turning to the guests. They then turned to face Elijah. The ceremony was going well but too soon Elijah asked Charlie to say the vows she had written. Charlie turned to face Joey holding her hands, "Joey, the first time I met you I knew you were special, even with everything you were going through you were amazing. You bring out the best in me. I was stupid to lose you, but when I saw you again I was determined to show you exactly what you mean to me, the day you left I thought I would die. You are my sun, my moon, my night and day. Your smile lights up a room. I love you with all that I am, I love the way you blush when someone pays you a compliment, the way you have those gorgeous dimples when you smile. I love the way you can't stay angry for long, I love the way you put everyone else first before yourself. I love the way you laugh at my stupid jokes even if there not funny. I love the way I am a better person because of you. I promise to love and cherish you for the rest of our lives and never take you for granted. Josephine Collins I love you." She smiled as she noticed a tear in her girlfriend's eye.
"Joey would you like to say you're vows now?" Elijah interrupted the couple looking lovingly at each other. Joey smiled at him before looking deeply into her girlfriends eyes. "Charlie, from the first day I met you, you were determined to help me, I was a broken shell of a person and you put me back together again, taking care of me, you went far beyond you're job and I knew you were special. I fell in love with you quickly but never thought you would ever look twice at someone like me. You make me feel safe, loved, cherished. I am a better person because of you, I have confidence, I feel like I am a good person, and that is because of your love and patience. You are the air that I breathe, the light of my life. Everything I am is thanks to you. I have to pinch myself every day because I cannot believe someone as amazing as you actually loves and cares for me, I give you my heart and soul completely. I will cherish love and care for you for the rest of my life. I love everything about you from how the colour of your eyes change with your mood, the way your whole face lights up when you smile, I even like your rubbish jokes. I love the way you blush and get embarrassed if anyone pays you a compliment. Charlotte Buckton I love you with all that I am, and will spend the rest of my life loving and caring for you and I promise to never take you for granted." Joey smiled as she also noticed a tear escape her girlfriend's eyes.
"Ok all that is left to do on this special day is declare you wife and wife, life partners. May you spend the rest of your lives loving and caring for each other. You may seal your marriage with a kiss. "About time." Charlie blushed as her thoughts were spoken out loud causing everyone to laugh. Joey smiled at her girlfriend before they both moved forward slowly joining their lips, before taking the kiss deeper, forgetting the audience they continued to kiss until suddenly a loud applause brought them to their senses. They pulled apart and smiled at each other lovingly, "Joey you look absolutely gorgeous, that suit looks so good on you, although I can't wait to help you out of it." She said leaning forward to whisper the last part making Joey blush. She had worried what to wear. She new Charlie would be wearing a gorgeous dress that would out shine anything she could possible do, she always looked sexy. Joey was uncomfortable wearing a dress so she had spent days searching for a white suit that was very feminine, it was a fitted design and she wore a red lace camisole top below, which went perfectly with the small red flower detail on Charlie's dress. They also had red roses and carnations in their bouquets. "Charlie I look nothing compared to how gorgeous you look, but thank you for say that, I can't wait to help you out of that dress either." Again she whispered the last part. They were suddenly surrounded with people wishing them well and telling them how lovely the service was.
The party made their way from the beach into Angelo's restaurant, where Ruby, Nicole, Leah and Angelo had worked their magic decorating the room in red and white. Everyone took their seats, Aden and Ruby had taken their seats at the top table. Aden stood and asked everyone to quickly find their seat. Ruby then stood once the room went quiet and asked the room to welcome the bride and bride. They all stood and began clapping as Charlie and Joey walked through the entrance and made their way through the tables until they got to the top table. The food was fantastic, Leah and Angelo had done them proud, and Aden suddenly stood and asked for silence. "I promise not to bore you for to long, I have known Joey for almost four years, since we started working together on the trawler together, we have been through a lot together and she is more than a best friend to me. I have watched her grow from a scared and shy girl into a beautiful out going confident woman. I also have watched the relationship blossom and have never seen a more perfect couple. When Joey went away, I was worried that I would loose my best friend, but she kept in touch and helped me through a lot of rubbish, I must admit when she told me she was back with Charlie I was concerned she was setting herself up for more heart ache, I came back to the bay to warn Charlie not to mess with her, Charlie convinced me she only wanted the best for her and anyone can see how in love they are, and how lost they are without each other. I actually talked to Joey this morning about not marrying Charlie, and marrying me instead, but she turned me down flat, telling me there was and would only ever be one person for her. Could you please raise your glass to Charlie and Joey, a perfect couple."
Ruby then stood, nervously, looking gorgeous in her red with white flowers bridesmaid dress, she had asked if she could say a few words. "As you all know things were difficult for us last year. I had believed for 16 years I had the best sister in the world, someone I knew would always be their for me no matter what, then I found out she wasn't my sister but my mother, I didn't handle it too well, but Charlie did everything right and continued to show how much she loved me no matter what rubbish I threw at her. I am so proud to call her my mother, I love you so much mum. Charlie cares about her family and friends and will fiercely fight to keep them safe and happy. If I am half the person she is, then I am honoured and proud. It is fair to say I always teased her about not being able to keep her relationships; I always thought she would grow into a lonely old woman with cats as her only family, the type who scared kids. When I first met Joey I liked her straight away, I was confused by the way Charlie opened up her emotions and was happier around her and I am ashamed to say I did not handle it very well when they told me they were in love, but I am so glad they met, Charlie is a fantastic person and deserves to be loved and cherished. She deserves to be happy and Joey is the person that does that for her. I am proud to call them both my mum's. I love you both. Please raise your glass again for Charlie and Joey." The couple sat crying, Charlie hugged her daughter thanking her and telling her how much that meant to both of them. Joey also did the same.
Suddenly they heard a loud cough, the room went silent and they looked around to find Joey's brother Brett stand up. Joey and Charlie's heart sunk, worried he was about to ruin their big day, Charlie held tightly to Joey's hand. "I know it is unusual for a brother of the bride to give a speech but I feel I need to say something. As you all know I haven't been the best brother to Joey, I am very ashamed of the way I behaved. Joey I know I hurt you physically, and mentally time after time, I wasn't there for you when you needed me, and for that I will never forgive myself. I know it has taken a lot for you to give me a second chance and I am grateful to you both for that. I will spend the rest of my life proving you have done the right thing in giving me that chance. Charlie I know I behaved abominably to both of you, when all you did was show Joey love and compassion. You were their supporting her when it should have been me, which I am eternally grateful for. I was a fool to try to come between you, because anyone can see you were made for each other, the perfect couple. The love you share is something we all hope to share. I want to say thank you, and wish you look for the future. To Charlie and Joey." He held up his glass and gave them a genuine smile. Charlie stood up, clearing her throat, she asked Brett to stand up and come towards the front. "Brett you know I have never made a secret of the fact I was disgusted with you're attitude towards your sister, especially when she needed your love and support, I also know it must have been hard when you found out about Joey and myself, lord knows I struggled with it myself. When you first turned up on the door step I must admit I didn't think you were for real, I believed you were unable to change, and i was determined not to let you hurt her again. But I also realised it must have taken a lot to come and do what you did, you admitted how badly you had behaved and never once forced Joey into a relationship with you. I do believe you have changed and I am pleased to say I am proud of you. I hope we get to know you and your beautiful family more, and I want you to know the door to our family is open. Thank you." He moved forward to quickly hug his sister in law before doing the same with his sister, both siblings began to cry.
The rest of the day went past happily; everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Joey held her wife's hand as they were stood talking to friends. "Baby I need you so badly right now." She whispered into her wife's ear causing her to choke on the sip of champagne she had just taken. She turned to face Joey leaning forward to kiss her before whispering "Well what are we waiting for?" They grabbed each others hands throwing a quick apology to their friends as they made their way to the bathroom. Quickly locking themselves in a cubicle, they joined lips fiercely both needing release, hands and mouths were everywhere with their need to satisfy everyone. They climaxed noisily together before leaning against each other satisfied. Kissing gently, as they both tried to control their breathing.
Watson and Kim were stood talking to Leah, Miles and Ruby. Just as Ruby said "No way, I don't believe they are doing that." The group turned to what had caught Ruby's attention. Laughing they saw the couple disappearing into the bathroom. "Will they ever change?" Watson asked shaking her head in amusement. "They are so embarrassing; they are like horny teenagers all the time." Ruby said also smiling.
The couple eventually came out of the bathroom slightly blushed and sharing a kiss. Suddenly they cringed as Watson stood on the makeshift stage. "At long last ladies and gentleman the happy couple have come out of the bathroom so that they can follow tradition by having the first dance, and get this party started. Charlie Joey if you could make your way onto the dance floor." They did as they were asked and took each other into their arms, the music started, their song played and they moved slowly in time with the beat, never taking their eyes off each other. Eventually they were joined by friends and family.
As the night went on they danced with family and friends. Morag Danced with each of them, telling them she was proud of them and she knew Ross would be looking down smiling that his little girl had married someone as perfect as Joey, "He would be very proud of you." She told them. Joey's mum also danced with them telling her how proud she was, and how thankful she felt to be able to celebrate with them. Ruby also danced and told them how happy and proud she was of her two mums.
The night finally drew to a close, the couple made their way from the restaurant saying their thanks and goodbyes to everyone. They slowly made their way along the beach towards their home. As they stood gazing up at the clear star filled sky they kissed and held each other. They then made their way through the gate astonished to see banners and balloons everywhere, "Aden, and Romeo." They said together before smiling and kissing again. They then made their way into the house and up the stairs, never putting a light on in their rush to get to their bedroom. Aden had already moved out and Ruby had decided to stay at Leah's for the night.
The couple quickly helped each other out of their wedding attire, smiling as they both stood in new sexy lace underwear. They kissed each other passionately letting their hands roam over each others bodies slowly the made their way over to the bed and lay down; Charlie slowly removed Joeys underwear, using her mouth and hands to explore slowly she moved her mouth across her jaw to her ear loving the way Joey responded to Charlie's touch. Her hands found her breasts and she began teasing her nipples with her finger and thumb. Before replacing one of her hands with her mouth, Joey arched of the bed holding Charlie's head to her breast. Charlie used her free hand to slide slowly downwards until it came to rest between Joey's open legs, smiling as she felt Joey's warmth and wetness. She slowly began rubbing her thumb over her throbbing clitoris; Joey moaned and raised her hips trying to get Charlie's hand further between her legs. Joey begged Charlie for more, and she slipped first one finger then a second into her wet folds. Joey quickly climaxed screaming out her name. They lay in each others arms for a while before Joey began teasing her smiling; she said "It's my turn to enjoy my sexy wife." They spent the rest of the night pleasuring each other.
Next time.
The couple go on their honeymoon.
