You are all cordially invited to the Clowen wedding!
Ch. 38 Take My Hand
(CLARE)
"You know it's a good thing we got the dress that zipped up the side and not the one with all the buttons in the back because I'm fairly certain Owen would have ripped that one in half tonight." Bianca remarks as she helps me zip up my wedding dress.
"Yeah I can't believe his parents booked you a hotel room for your wedding night and they're okay with you guys getting married and everything. If I'd tried to get married at sixteen my parents would have flipped!" Paige tells us as she affixes the tiara in my hair.
"My parents did flip hence the need for the shot gun wedding it's the only sure way to keep me from having to go back to my mother's house." I remind them.
"You don't have to do this we could always hide you at our place," Emma offers clasping the diamond necklace that Wendy was loaning me around my neck.
"No I'm in love with Owen and I want to marry him I'm happy to be getting married to Owen today. It would have been nice to not have been somewhat forced and to have all my family and friends here celebrating with us. But I'm happy and I know Owen's happy and I have no regrets. I am glad Wendy remembered to invite Janice though she's practically family to Owen." I say as the girls help me on with my shoes.
"Who's Janice?" Emma inquires as she clasps on my bracelet which like the rest of my jewelry is on loan from Wendy.
"Their housekeeper," Bianca explains as I look at myself in the mirror.
My wedding gown is princess style with a full satin skirt going all the way to my ankles, the bodice has strands of silver in it so it sparkles in the right light and a sweetheart neckline with off the shoulder tulle sleeves. It's a good thing the bodice had a built in bra; the dress was simple but elegant. Completing the look I had a tiara, a small one with glass stones not real ones none the less I felt like a princess. Wendy had leant me very beautiful and very expensive diamond jewelry including a necklace, earrings and a tennis bracelet. My shoes were simple white heels and all the girls had spent the better part of the day at the spa getting massages and then our hair and makeup done. My hair was up except for a few strands that came down to frame my face.
"You look amazing Owen is going to die!" Bianca says from behind me just as there's a knock at the door.
"You girls ready?" Wendy asks from the doorway.
I turn around to look at the woman who is about to be my mother in-law, the woman who in the last few months has already been more of a mother to me than my own. "I'm ready," I smile softly.
"You look gorgeous Clare I'll tell them to start the music," Wendy says.
"I better go sit down," Paige says hugging me before leaving through the door with Wendy.
They leave the door open; Emma and Bianca go out to the hall. The guys smile when they see us Drew holds his arm out to Bianca and they start down the aisle. The photographer Eric and Wendy hired starts snapping pictures; he'll be doing it all through the ceremony. Then Adam escorts Emma and Tris walks behind them. I can just see Owen standing under the archway; he looks very handsome and very sexy in his tux, he looks nervous but excited very excited. Jay, Spinner and Peter pick me up and carry me down the aisle just like last night; Owen's smile gets bigger and bigger the closer I get to him. They hand me over to Owen, he holds me in his arms a minute my arms around his neck, our eyes lock and we smile at each other with blissful anticipation. He sets me down and takes my hand as we turn to the officiator and he starts talking.
"We have been brought here on this joyous occasion to join Owen Milligan and Clare Edwards in the unity of marriage. If anyone has just cause why these two should not be wed speak now." The officiator says.
While I never take my eyes from Owen a part of me fears Eli and Alli are about to come through the doors and stop the wedding. Or worse my mother with a court order telling me to move back in, of course I'm fairly certain that if any of them come through the doors Owen, the groomsmen, Jay, Peter and Spinner would kill them before they could say a word. After what feels like an eternity of silence the officiator starts talking again.
"Owen and Clare have written their own vows, may I have the rings please?" He requests and I take my eyes from Owen just long enough to see the beginning of the sunset over the water.
Drew and Bianca produce the rings I take Owen's holding it tightly in my palm and he takes mine slipping it onto my finger as he starts his vows.
"Clare at the beginning of the summer we barely even knew each other and then we became friends and fell in love. You are the most beautiful, amazing, sexy and smart girl in all the world and I could never love anyone as much as I love you. You make me happy; you make me strive to make the world better to just to see you smile. You make me a better person just being with you and I will spend the rest of my life making you happy and keeping you safe. I love you with all my heart Clare and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together." Owen finishes his vows and I have tears in my eyes.
I take a deep breath so I can talk again and then slip his ring onto his finger. "Owen I have never been in love before, I know that now because I only knew what being in love really was after falling in love with you. You have been my confidant, my protector, my shoulder to cry on and my rock. In a short amount of time I have put you through so much and never once did you try to run or turn away. I would not have made it through this summer without you. Whenever I'm sad you cheer me up, whenever I'm hurting you make it better and I'm happiest when I'm around you. I cannot imagine my life without you in it and I don't know what the future will throw at us but I know that we'll get through it together. You are the love my life Owen and I will do everything to make you happy for the rest of our lives together."
Owen has tears in his own eyes, he's squeezing my hand and we're breathing deep to keep from crying. At some point the officiator starts talking again but I'm a little lost in Owen's eyes to notice at first.
"Clare Diana Edwards do you take Owen Milligan as your husband to have and to hold from this day forward as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," I smile.
"Owen Milligan do you t…" the officiator begins but Owen cuts him off.
"I do," Owen says quickly.
"Okay then somebody's a little eager so let's get on with it. By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. Ladies and gentleman may I introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Owen Milligan, you may kiss your bride." The officiator says.
Owen smiles pulling me to him, my arms go around his neck his arms encircle me and our lips meet. I've kissed Owen dozens of times possibly hundreds since June but this kiss is different. Maybe it's just that we're so happy or maybe it's that we're so in love or that this is our first kiss as husband and wife, whatever it is this one kiss is better than all the others. I can hear the others clapping and cheering, giving us congratulations, I hear the photographer snapping picutres but our lips won't part. Drew and Bianca finally have to pry us apart and we're both smiling from ear to ear. I go from kissing Owen to being swept up into a flurry of hugs as one by one we hug everyone in the room. Then we pose for a bunch of wedding pictures with the sun setting over the water as our back drop.
"Alright everyone to our house for the reception," Eric says when the photographer is done.
The last thing Owen and I do before going down to the car and home for the reception is to sign the marriage license. Finally I take my husband's hand and we walk down to the car, blissful smiles never leaving our faces.
(OWEN)
I open the car door and help Clare out putting my arm around her as we walk down to the backyard. I saw how the event planner was setting it up before we left for the hall but it's been a couple of hours. There's lanterns strung all over the yard, a dance floor bridged over the center of the pool with floating candles in the pool water and the outdoor speakers are playing music. Food is set up near the BBQ area and some tables and chairs have been set up so there's enough room to sit.
"It's gorgeous," Clare smiles when she sees the yard.
"You're gorgeous," I smile picking her up and catching her lips for a soft kiss.
I carry her down to the patio before setting her feet on the ground but don't let her out of my arms. Everyone soon joins us forcing me to look away from Clare briefly.
"I'm starving let's eat," Drew says coming over to us.
"Not yet bro you two need to have your first dance as a married couple," Adam tells us pushing us toward the dance floor.
'Can't Help Falling In Love' by Elvis Presley starts playing over the speakers which I find appropriate for us and we begin dancing.
"Does this make this our song?" Clare asks.
"I think it works," I smile and she giggles a little.
When the song ends we go down to the tables so we can eat, everyone else is already sitting and ready to eat. It's buffet style because we had like two days to plan and that was easiest. Clare and I get our plates and sit at our table, a small table in the middle of the others.
"I want to thank all of you for being here with us on this wonderful occasion and helping us to officially welcome Clare to the family. We are overjoyed to have her in our family, welcome to the family Clare." Mom says raising her glass for a toast when we're all sitting.
Clare smiles taking my hand and I kiss her forehead. Dad also welcomes Clare to the family with a similar speech.
"I just want to say it's about time because honestly we knew you two were in love way back in June." Drew remarks with a grin and Clare shoots him a look.
"I'm just glad that the girl to finally tame Owen is someone as awesome as Clare because I've known him forever and I never thought I'd see him do anything just to put a smile on a girls face." Bianca says; Clare smiles and kisses me gently.
After a few more congratulations speeches we finish eating and I take my wife out to the dance floor again. Drew and Bianca follow as do Paige and Jay, Spinner and Emma and my parents; which pretty much fills the dance floor. After I dance with Clare Drew steals her and I dance with Bianca.
"You know married at seventeen is usually a disaster but I think it's the best decision you've ever made. You and Clare are meant to be; maybe you should have had a crush on her last year and kept Fitz from trying to kill Eli." She jokes and I smile.
After dancing with Drew Clare dances with Adam, then Peter, then Jay and Spinner before I actually get my wife back. Hey I wasn't exactly standing around waiting to get her back in my arms. I danced with Emma, Paige, Bianca again, Janice and my mom. Finally I get Clare back and we have one more dance together before it's time for cake. Our cake is simple but nicely decorated with flowers and Clare is smiling but she hasn't stopped smiling since her brothers gave her to me at the start of the ceremony. We cut a piece of cake and people start snapping pictures of us with the disposable cameras mom bought. Then we each take a chunk of cake and feed it to each other. More pictures and more clapping ensue and then Mom cuts us each a real piece of cake, we sit down and have champagne with our cake. After cake we're pulled inside by Clare's brothers, Emma and Paige. Not just us the rest of the Fab Five are pulled inside as well.
"Okay so we know you said no gifts but these aren't really for the wedding these are just gifts for the five of you and the Bashful Babes. And since Spin and I as well as Peter have to get going shortly because we all have to be at work on Monday morning we wanted you to open them now," Emma tells us.
Jay hands me a box wrapped in silver paper, Paige hands an identical one to Clare, Peter hands one to Adam, Spinner hands one to Drew and Emma hands one to Bianca. The five of us exchange a look and then tear off the wrapping and open the boxes. Pulling out a very nice black leather jacket with a number five on the back above which is the word FAB and below which is the word FIVE.
"These are awesome!" Adam says pulling his jacket out.
On the front of the jacket in script just below the shoulder are our nicknames. The girls also have jackets but with a girl cut.
"These are for the Bashful Babes; we thought they should have their own jackets since the three of you are so cute." Paige says handing Adam two more boxes.
"Sweet thanks guys," Adam smiles.
"Yes thank you these are great I can't wait to wear mine at school tomorrow but when did you guys have time to do this? You've only been here for two days and you were pretty busy those two days." Clare remarks.
"Well I designed the jackets then Em and I found jackets already made that were similar to the ones I had designed and we all chipped in to get the nicknames and logos put on." Paige tells us.
"You guys have done a lot for Clare and each other and this is our way of showing you that we know that and now you can show everyone else." Emma explains.
"I love it, thanks you guys." Clare smiles hugging Paige and Emma.
"Yeah thanks guys this jacket rocks," I say shaking hands with Jay.
We hug and or shake hands with all of them and then Emma, Spinner and Peter get ready to leave since they all have a few hours of driving ahead of them.
"Jay will be keeping us up to date but we expect to hear from you too and not just when there's some crisis or wedding." Spinner tells Clare as he hugs her goodbye.
"Don't worry I'll make sure she keeps in touch," I assure him.
Clare hugs the three of them; I hug Emma and shake hands with Spinner and Peter they say goodbye to the others and then they're gone. The party continues for another hour but we have school in the morning and my parents and Jay have to work. Besides I would very much like to get my wife to the hotel for our wedding night so Clare gets ready to throw her bouquet, of course there's only a couple of girls to catch it and I don't think Bianca wants to catch it so Paige gets it. Then Clare sits on a bench and I take off her garter with my teeth tossing it and after a bit of a fight Jay catches it. Clare and I say goodbye to everyone, grab our new jackets and get in my car to drive to the hotel. I've already checked us in, it was my last stop before the ceremony and took our bags up to the room so when I park at the hotel I pick Clare up and take her up to the room.
"I'm gonna get out of this dress in the washroom you should be naked on the bed by the time I get out." Clare instructs.
"Mmm we've only been married for three hours and you're already giving orders," I tease her taking her in my arms and ensnaring her lips. "Yes ma'am naked on the bed," I reply when I stop kissing her.
Clare smiles, takes her suitcase and goes into the washroom closing and locking the door behind her. I take off my shoes and finally get out of that tux laying it over a chair since we have to return it to the rental place. I lie on the bed with my arms behind my head and wait for Clare. When she doesn't come out for several minutes I turn on the TV. I would complain to her but I'm sure that dress and all that jewelry were hard to take off. Finally the washroom door opens and I look away from the TV and stop breathing at the sight of her, absentmindedly turning off the TV as I try and speak but seem to have forgotten how currently.
"Hot damn you look so very sexy," I exclaim with a very pleased and I'm sure dopey looking expression on my face, I'm standing at full attention so to speak, she smiles coyly and bites her lip. "Where did that come from and why haven't I seen it before?" I inquire as my eyes rove over her enticing body in the alluring lingerie.
She has a lace choker with a satin bow at the bottom of which is a string of pearls. The pearls go down between her cleavage and attaches to a lacey white teddy that goes under her breasts so I have full access to her luscious breasts. She has on sheer white stockings that attach to a garter belt at the bottom of the teddy leaving her sweet pussy accessible to me and she's holding a long string of pearls, long enough that I could tie her up with it or do any number of dirty things with it. She wraps the string of pearls around both hands and pulls it tight, biting it briefly before answering.
"Paige and Emma took me to this nifty little store downtown and we got it there." She informs me in a coquettish voice as she saunters over to me.
"Remind me to thank them," I remark with a carnal grin as she puts the string of pearls around the back of my neck, straddles over me and captures my lips.
I put my hands on her lower back and turn us so that I'm on top of her now. My hand wanders down her body and between her thighs, her legs part for my hand and she moves her body closer to mine. My hand cups her pussy and I feel the heat coming from her, I wiggle one finger between her pussy lips and she moans into the kiss arching her back a little. My other hand migrates to her breasts squeezing lightly as I work my finger into her a little more. I circle my finger in her depths a few times to get her good and wet and then withdraw my finger from her. She whimpers slightly and bites her lip as I pull away from the kiss.
"Now then what should I do with these?" I question taking the string of pearls from her hands.
"I don't know it came with the lingerie but Em and Paige assured me you'd know." She tells me shyly.
"Oh I have a few ideas but let's start with this." I tell her holding the string of pearls taught, sliding it between her pussy lips and grazing it over her clit.
She moans, biting her lip, arching her back and her head going back into the pillow a bit. After teasing her clit and pussy for a bit by pulling the pearls along them lightly I wrap the pearls around three of my fingers several times and then slide them into her slowly. She gasps clutching the bedspread and arching her back as she moans a little louder. Her eyes open as I start to pull my fingers out and I lock my eyes with hers. When my fingers thrust back in a little faster she quivers with a shuddering breath moaning my name. Speeding up my pace a little every time I thrust back in I start lapping her clit with my tongue.
"Ohhhh Mmmm Owwwwwwwen!" She calls as her hips begin to buck.
I suck on her clit lightly thrusting my fingers a little faster, her hands grip into my hair to keep me in place. She's trembling, panting hard, moaning loud and my name dropping from her lips with each moan and heaving breath. Her body tightens, her hips bucking, gyrating wildly and her back arched high off the mattress. She screams with animalistic lascivious rapturous pleasure as she orgasms, I slow down withdrawing my fingers only when she'd ridden out her orgasm and eliciting one last whimper form her lips. She's still panting but I take her lips with mine briefly.
"That was beautiful and we're definitely keeping these but I think that's enough of them for now, unless of course you want me to tie you up with them?" I offer.
She nips her bottom lip rolling it between her teeth as she ponders this suggestion for a moment. "Some other time but not on our wedding night," she finally says.
I take the string of pearls from my fingers and drop them to the floor as my mouth encases her nipple. Positioning myself between her legs as I ravish her breasts with my mouth and then I enter her. She pulls in a shocked but pleased breath as my hard as a rock cock slides into her. She arches her back pushing her hips up to meet mine, a long low moan emitting from her lips. Her hands grip the back of my neck, her hands raking into my hair lightly. Her eyes open and lock with mine, I smile at her and she smiles back in euphoric bliss. I use one hand to support my weight off of her, my other arm slides under her lower back to lift her off the mattress a little so I can drive deep into her hot velvety depths. Having just cum a few minutes ago I can tell she's close to climaxing again. Her eyes begin to close and her head goes back into the pillow, she bites her lip again moaning loud, long and low, heaving breaths making her breasts bounce and the pearls between them shake.
"Nnngngng Owen oh god Mmmmm!" She exhales as she climaxes for a second time that night.
I'm far from done however so as she's riding out her orgasm I grab her legs and wrap them around my waist and her arms around my neck. Then I move so I'm sitting up with her on my lap facing me. She whimpers and moans, sort of screams in fervent rapturous ecstasy. I give her a moment to adjust and catch her breath before grabbing her waist and bouncing her along my cock. I can get so deep into her like this and she feels so fucking good! Her breathing and moaning become erratic and more erotic. Her hands grip my shoulders tightly her nails digging into my flesh, I'm breathing heavier now and she begins bouncing without my help. I feel myself getting close, about ready to pop, so I help her along going a little faster until she can no longer take it and she reaches orgasm for the third time that hour.
"Ohhh Cllllaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrre!" I exhale against her neck as I cum.
She stops moving and I lay her back on the bed, she's covered in sweat and panting hard, quivering and unable to open her eyes all the way still but she reaches for me. I take her hand kissing each finger as I work on recovering my own breath. I'm covered in sweat too and still trembling occasionally from little aftershocks of pleasure myself. I pull out of her, her body lurches and she whimpers as I lie next to her, kissing her lips briefly and then move on to kissing her breasts until she's breathing normal again.
"So my beautiful wife how do you feel?" I ask her.
"Amazing, exhausted but amazing," she smiles attaching her lips to mine again for an impassioned loving kiss. "We should get to sleep can you help me out of this thing? It's sexy but not very comfortable to sleep in." She requests.
"Of course Hot Legs and we should probably rinse off in the shower before bed too." I tell her picking her up.
I carry her into the washroom setting her on the vanity counter and she hisses slightly when the cold tile hits her bare ass. First I unlatch her stockings pulling them off and kissing down her legs as I do and she giggles. Next I unhook the choker and the teddy, I honestly have no idea how she got this thing on by herself. I take it off and let it fall to the floor as I kiss her neck and massage her breasts.
"Owen we need to shower and get to bed," she commands when I don't stop kissing her.
"Fine," I groan reluctantly pulling away from her to turn on the shower.
It's not all high tech like ours so I actually have to take some time to find a good temperature. Clare hops off the counter and comes behind me to feel the water before getting in. I get in behind her enjoying the show as she quickly washes her body and her hair. She gives me a quick kiss before getting out of the shower and she dries off while I start washing. She blow dries her hair and we get ready for bed, I turn out the lights and we get under the covers. She turns on her side to face me looping her arms around my neck and I put mine around her lower back.
"I love you Hubby Boyfriend, or should I just call you Hubby now?" She asks.
"Hubby sounds better but not at school probably. Can I call you Wifey now?" I ask back.
"Yes just not in public or around anyone that doesn't know we got married." She replies.
"I love you Clare," I smile.
"I love you Owen," she responds presses her lips to mine gently and nuzzles into me.
I hold her close, it's been a very long weekend, week actually and I'm exhausted but fall asleep extraordinarily happy holding my wife, my true love in my arms.
(CLARE)
"Wake up Hubby we need to get up," I tell Owen shaking him gently after having shut off the alarm.
"I don't want to go to school," he whines, "we got married last night we should be on our honeymoon right now not going to school."
"Yes but we got married in secret, 95% of the people we know don't know we got married and they won't for a while. If we're missing from school today people are going to wonder why now up we need to pack, check out and get breakfast." I inform him.
"We'll grab breakfast at the Dot," he replies getting up.
We get dressed and ready for school then pack up quickly sort of haphazardly throwing everything in our suitcases, except for my dress and Owen's tux which go into garment bags. When everything is packed up we check around quickly to make sure we got everything, Owen was very sure that my bridal lingerie and the string of pearls was packed up first.
"Wedding rings," I remind him looking at our fingers.
"Right," he nods taking his off and handing it to me.
I take mine off too and put them with the rest of my jewelry in my suitcase. We take our luggage down and Owen checks us out as a bellboy helps me pack up the car. Owen comes out and we drive to the Dot, Owen goes in and grabs us a couple of coffees and muffins then drives us to school. We get our backpacks out of the backseat which we put in yesterday, put on our Fab Five jackets and go into school deciding to eat in the memorial garden.
"Hey Hubby Boyfriend and Hot Legs looking all spiffy in your jackets!" Bianca exclaims as she comes into the garden with us.
"Well you look spiffy too Queenie," I return the compliment as she's also wearing her jacket.
Adam and Drew join us a short time later also wearing their jackets and as we're in school none of us talk about the wedding. Adam says the Bashful Babes will join us for lunch so Adam can give them their jackets. When the bell rings Owen walks me to social studies and kisses me at the door. Alli gives us a glare and then a mischievous smirk that tells me she has some sort of plot churning round in her head. I simply smile back at her, Owen is now my husband and there is very little she could do to ruin my mood on this day after my nuptials. Jenna, Connor and K.C. come into class talking about their weekends. I can't exactly tell them what I did so I simply say we hung out with the rest of the Fab Five.
"I love your jacket you get that this weekend?" Jenna asks.
"Thanks, yeah it was a gift from some old friends they gave us each one." I reply as the teacher starts class.
When class ends Alli bolts out without even glaring at me, the rest of us start walking to gym when I'm stopped by Principal Simpson.
"I need to see you in my office Clare," he says.
"Okay I'll see you guys in a bit," I tell them and follow Simpson to his office. When I go in I see Officer Turner and my mother. "What are you doing here?" I ask my mother curtly.
"I'm signing you out of school so we can get your stuff from that boys house and move you home again and what are you wearing?!" Mom demands.
"It's a jacket mother and there is no way I'm moving back in with you!" I state flatly.
"Oh yes you are young lady, one day you'll see that I'm doing this for your own good. Whether you want to or not you are coming home with me, the judge revoked the Milligan's guardianship." Mom says producing a court document from her purse.
"I'm sorry Clare this is legal and I have to enforce it," Officer Turner says after looking at the document.
I just chortle as I have a document of my own to show them and it's just as legal. "No you don't and I'm not going home with you mother. That may have been signed this morning but I got married yesterday!" I inform her taking our marriage license from my purse and showing it to the three of them.
Simpson is just sort of staring at me wide eyed while my mother looks positively livid and Officer Turner picks up the license.
"WHAT DID THAT BOY DO TO YOU? ARE YOU PREGNANT? YOU CAN'T GET MARRIED YOU ARE ONLY SIXTEEN!" My mother yells with the vein on her forehead throbbing, I'm very glad I closed the door when I came in.
"No mother I am not pregnant, Owen hasn't done anything but love me and yes I can. Sixteen is the age of consent, I can legally get married without your consent and as I did so yesterday I am now legally emancipated and Owen's wife." I inform my mother with a satisfied smile.
"She's right Mrs. Edwards age of consent is sixteen in this province and this is a binding marriage license if Clare doesn't wish to go with you I have legal cause to stop you." Officer Turner informs her.
"You and Owen got married?!" Simpson exclaims as he seems to still be trying to believe that part.
"Yes we did but we don't want to tell everyone yet so I'd appreciate if you didn't broadcast it over the school," I reply to Simpson and then look at Officer Turner, "please don't say anything to Dave." I request and he nods.
"That boy did something, he tricked you somehow he…" my mother begins rambling and I cut her off.
"Owen didn't trick me mother, the only things Owen has ever done is been wonderful to me, make me happy, take care of me, look out for me and love me which is much more than I can say for you in the last eight months." I snap back at her with venom in every word then turning and opening the door.
"Clare where are you going?" Simpson asks.
"To get my husband I have a feeling I'm going to need backup." I reply then walk out the door. I walk very fast with a determination to Mr. Bettankamp's science class and throw open the door disrupting class. Everyone looks over at me but I'm only looking at Owen. "My mother's here," I inform him and Owen, Drew and Bianca all jump up.
Update soon starting from here and a confrontation between Helen and Owen! As well as some trouble from Alli and Eli and some sexy time.
