~Chapter Forty-Four: It's Wedding Day~
Matt's POV
Waking up to the bright sun in my eyes and a persistant Trevor shaking my shoulder saying, "Matt, Matt it's time to wake up man. We have to go get the tuxes and check on the set-up at the reception hall."
"Yeah yeah I hear you but what are you fussing about?"
"Dude its your wedding day and you need to get up NOW! Your mom just called and said we need to get our tux and then check on the reception spot before we head over to the church. So if your trying to take a shower you need to GET THE HELL UP NOW!"
Jumping up after finally understanding what he said I grabbed my bathroom stuff and rushed into the shower shouting, "I'll be ready in ten minutes."
I can't believe this day is actually here already. I get to marry the love of my life and the mother of my child. Smiling I started humming to myself as I went through my morning ritual. Once I was dressed, shaved and teeth brushed I went into the living room where I saw Trevor folding up a letter and slipping it in his back pocket.
"Hey man what do you have there?"
"Huh? Oh that? Thats nothing just somethings I needed to write down before I forgot. So umm are you ready to go?"
"Yeah sure...Are you alright with being up there with us today knowing Raven and Alexander are getting married today?"
"Yeah I'm cool. I was thinking I will talk to her beforehand and than maybe I can get rid of some of these feelings because right now I am seriously confused especially after meeting Sapphire."
"Well just make sure you do it before Alexander shows up ok? I don't want anything to ruin this day."
"Me either."
After are little chat we went to pick up our tuxes, then headed to the country club to check on the decorations for the reception which looked great when we saw it. I can just imagine how it will look tonight and I can actually picture Becky and Raven's vision when they set this up. Its going to be awesome. Once that was finished we did some random things until it was time to head to the church.
I needed to get there early so I can make sure my vows were ok and get dressed before the ceremony. In just four and a half hours my beautiful love will be walking through those doors. Time to relax and think positive this day is going to be perfect!
Raven's POV
Waking up with a big yawn I couldn't help but smile as I felt my little man kick. Rubbing my belly I said, "Yeah I know, we are going to see daddy soon though" Smiling as I felt he roll and kick I know he is just as happy as I am. Today I will become Mrs. Raven Sterling and nothing else could make me happier!
Getting up off this mattress I gently nudge Becky to let her know she needs to wake up. She swats at my hand and says, "Leave me alone I need five more minutes."
"Becks we don't have five more minutes we need to get up and make sure everything is ready."
"Ready? Ready for what Raven and what time is it anyway?"
"Our wedding day duh Becky now get up and its 11am I think they let us sleep longer than they were suppose to now GET UP WOMAN or I am going to get married without you."
"Fine grumpy pants. I'm coming dang."
Once I knew she was up and wouldn't go back to sleep, I left to go take and shower and sneak some blood before anyone sees me. I inhaled to bags of blood while standing in the shower than I washed up really quick. After drying off and finding a secure place to store the empty bags, I brushed my teeth and got dressed in sweats until it was time to go to the church.
"Hey Becky the showers all yours. I'm going to order up some room service and get us some breakfast, what would you like?"
Before she could respond there was a knock on the door. So I moved slowly to get it and as soon as I opened it I was shocked to see Trevor on the other side with pushing table loaded with food.
"Um hey Trev whats all this?"
"Matt ordered you guys breakfast and as the best man I was obligated to make sure you got it. So here it is and plus I wanted to talk to you. I know its just you and Becky here and the ladies won't be back for you guys until three o'clock."
"Um ok, come on in I am starving."
After he was in and I made myself a plate of waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream, eggs, sausage and a glass of orange juice I sat on the sofa and patted the place next to me.
"Come sit down and while I eat you can tell me what you wanted to talk about."
"Ok" So he sits down and doesn't say anything for a few minutes, than he takes a breath and says, "Well you know I've been in love with you for years right?"
"Yeah I kind of figured that out when you kissed me in your car while I was pregnant with another man's baby. We're friends Trevor and I like you but I am in love with Alexander."
"I know Rae but I needed to tell you that because I needed to know what I was feeling was real or not. But Raven I can honestly say I like us better as friends and I think my feelings for you are finally clear. I can honestly be your friend now and not have any regrets later. Something happen last night to make me look at you so differently."
"I know what your saying Trevor. I saw how you looked when you were talking to Sapphire. It was the same way I looked at Alexander the first time I met him. And I bet the whole time you were with her you didn't think about me once. Right?"
"Yes how did you know? I mean I just met her but I can't get her out of my mind and when she's around me everything just seems quiet and peaceful. You know?"
"Yes I do, thats how I knew I would marry Alexander after our second date. When you connect with someone on that level its hard to let go. So if you want her you need to spend time with her, take her on a date and get to know her before she has to go back home. And stay in touch with her because I honestly think she is your one. And I want you to be as happy as me and Alexander or Becky and Matt. You deserve it."
"Thanks Raven, your the best. Do you think you can see if she can get a closer seat towards the front so I can see her at the reception?"
"Oh her table is right next to ours and how I set up the seating chart last night, you both will be close enough to talk and touch." winking at him I added, "I figured you would want it that way and I want all the best men to be happy on our day."
After that we just sat and talked for a while until Becky joined us. Before long Trevor had to leave and we had to head over to the church. I sent Alexander a quick text before we left, {Hey love I hope your ready for today. We are on our way to the church right now so we can get dressed and ready. Are you sure you will be there at 7:30?}
{Hello grogeous? How are you and my boy today? Yes I will be there on time I wouldn't miss marrying you for the world.} After recieving this text I decided to call him.
"We are both ok but I think you need to send over a few bottles of smoothies ASAP we are starving for something other than food if you know what I mean."
"Yes love I do. Sapphire is on her way there now to give you that and help you with whatever else you need done since Onyx and Scarlett can't be there yet. She is also bringinf you and Becky's something old, new, borrowed and blue."
"Thanks babe but can you tell her to meet us at the church and hurry? Little man is really being jumpy right now."
"Can you put the phone to your belly so I can talk to him?"
"Your on love"
"Hey my little soldier. I know you are hungry but you can not feed from mommy anymore. I am sending over some food for you now so please just hold out for ten to fifteen minutes and you will get your smoothies. Plus I will also give you a treat at the reception. I love you my beautiful boy and please protect your mother until I can join you guys."
"Thanks babe he is settling down now and I feel like I have a bit more energy."
"Thats good and Sapphire has already left so go meet her and than feed our boy before he gets to antsy. I will see you soon my love."
"Ok and I love you Alexander."
"I love you too my soon to be Mrs. Sterling"
After that I grabbed everything I needed and Becky drove us to the church. As soon as we got there I saw Sapphire standing by the door talking to Trevor and I smiled. Than I saw she was holding one of my drinks and that just made my day.
I got out the car, walked over to her and I tapped her shoulder. Once she saw me she handed me the smoothie before her and Trevor went to get all our things out the car and taking it to our dressing area.
After downing the first smoothie I went to the dressing room and sat next to Becky for the next three and a half hours as we were fussed over and cried over. Once our make up was done our mothers came in and kicked everyone out so they can help us into our dresses.
When we were dressed and almost ready to go, I saw the clock say 7pm and I knew it was almost time to start. Smiling I asked everyone to leave so I can just have few minutes with my best friend.
"This is it Becks we are about to get married."
"I know and I have no idea what to say except I am extrememly happy we got to do this together."
"Me to, there is no one else I would rather share a wedding date and baby birth date with than my bestest friend in the whole wide world."
"And we lucked out because we landed ourselves some hot, amazing guys."
"I know. So are you ready to be Mrs. Wells?"
"Yes. Are you ready to be Mrs. Sterling?"
"Heck yeah. Now lets go get hitched."
Hugging we walked out of our dressing room with our matching new charm bracelets, our borrowed earrings, our old jeweled hair clips for our veils and our blue necklaces. We were ready for this next step in our lives and in a few more months we will be taking another major step together.
