Chapter 34 The Wedding, early morning
Baby didn't sleep well last night, she hears her son and stands up, she looks at him and he's stirring, "you can't sleep either, can you?" She whispers as she lifts him up, she looks at the time, it's 6 in the morning, it's still too early, she sits down on the bed and lays junior on her breast, she looks at him with a smile, "today is a big day for mommy and daddy." she whispers, she thinks of what Johnny is doing now, probably being asleep.
Johnny and Billy went away about an hour after dinner yesterday, they wanted to have a sort of bachelor party, just a few drinks at the staff house, Johnny turns on his back and yawns once, he couldn't sleep though he's very tired, he's missing Baby and junior, he never thought he would be so lucky to marry the one he loves most, he looks at the time, it's only 6 and he sighs deeply, he looks at the ceiling and rubs his eyes, he decides to take a shower, that might do him good, he stands up and puts his normal clothes on, he takes his shower stuff and went to the showers.
Billy has the same problem, the guys didn't drink that much and Johnny didn't even stay that long in the staff house, Billy walks into the showers and turns one on, "Billy?" Johnny asks, Billy jumps, he was lost in his own thoughts, "Johnny?" Billy asks, "you can't sleep either?" Johnny asks as he looks around the curtain, Billy looks at him and sighs, "yeah, I don't know if it's because of the nerves for the wedding or because Jen's not next to me," Billy says as he takes his shirt off, Johnny turns and let the water run down on his face, he close his eyes, "I guess both, I miss Baby and I can't wait to see her again."
"We're getting married today, did you ever thought this would be happening?" Billy asks as he steps into the shower, "I never thought I would ever marry, let it be a double wedding with my favorite cousin," Johnny says as he takes the soap, "it's a miracle for sure, but I'm looking forward to the married life with Jen, I want to see her in the wedding dress," Billy says with a smile as he let the water run down on his head, Johnny smiles, "when are the kids coming?" Johnny asks, Billy sighs a little, "Jen wants to wait until she's done with her study," Billy answers as he takes his own soap, "you're still young, I understand her side but I know you want kids," Johnny says, "yeah, seeing you and Baby with junior, I want it too but I need to wait," he says, "you'll get it one day, cuz."
Johnny turns to wash his hair, "you want a second one?" Billy asks, "yeah, but after Baby's study," Johnny answers, "Baby is so strong, you know how people are talking about her," Billy says, "I know, but Baby doesn't seem to care," Johnny says as he also soaps his face, he turns to wash the soap off, "you want to have breakfast?" Johnny asks after a few moments of silence, "at your cabin?" Billy asks, "yeah, the guys will come around 11, Peter said that he needs to watch the staff with putting everything in place, after that he can come to prepare," Johnny says, "he's amazing, I never thought we would be friends with him," Billy says, "me neither, he is so different from what I first thought, same for Colin and Chris."
About an hour later, Jenny wakes up and looks at Baby, they're sharing the room with Lisa, who's not actually there, she's with Colin, Baby is looking at junior with a smile as he's asleep on her arms, Jenny smiles as she watch her best friend, she moves on her side and Baby looks up, "good morning," Jenny says, Baby smiles, "good morning, you slept well?" Baby asks, "barely, I think I've fallen asleep two hours ago from tiresome, it feels weird to sleep without Billy," she says and Baby smiles, "true love," Baby says with a wink, "what about you, Baby? You look like you haven't slept at all," Jenny asks as she sits straight, "I haven't, I can't sleep without Johnny anymore, I wonder how I'll be able to do it when our sophomore year starts," Baby says, Jenny smiles, "we'll be fine."
"It's still early, but I'm hungry," Jenny says after a moment, Baby giggles, "breakfast time is in an hour," Baby says, "I'll go for a shower, when will Lisa come back?" Jenny asks as she gets out of bed, "don't know, but I'm happy she found someone who loves her," Baby says with a smile, she looks at her son again with a smile, she's very happy for her sister, "it's good to see her being in love, I mean," Jenny says and Baby looks at her again, Jenny smiles, "a year ago she liked Billy a lot, and she was so heartbroken that he didn't want her," Jenny says, "yeah, but I think Colin is better for her." Baby says and Jenny nods.
Jenny went to the bathroom when the door opens and Baby sees her mother walking inside, "I see you're awake," Marge nearly whispers and sits down on the bed, "I couldn't sleep, and junior has been stirring the whole night as well," Baby says and looks at her son again, Marge looks at him and smiles, "you'll see Johnny soon," Marge says and Baby nods, "I never had that before, mom, that I can't sleep without Johnny," Baby says, "I guess it's because you haven't seen each other that much over the last year and this summer, junior is born and you've been every night with your family since his birth," Marge says, Baby smiles, "you became very attached to your family, I can see that," Marge says, Baby looks at her mother, "you had that as well?" Baby asks, Marge push some hair out of Baby's face, "I did, but not as much as you."
"I don't know how I'll handle it when I go back to school and Johnny's here, not being able to see his son," Baby whispers and looks at junior again, Marge smiles, Jenny came back from the bathroom and looks at them, "good morning," Jenny says, Marge looks at her and smiles, "good morning, you're looking forward to the ceremony?" Marge asks, "I can't wait," Jenny says and sits down, Marge looks at Baby again, "you need to shower too, Baby," Marge says, Baby nods, "hold him, mom." Baby says and hands junior to her, Marge takes him on her arms and smiles as she looks at her grandson, Baby stands up and went to take a shower as well.
Chris wakes up and turns on his side, he smiles as he looks at Penny's face, she stayed the night with him, he has a double bed, he push some hair out of her face and she moves, "I love you," he whispers, Penny smiles and grabs him, giving a kiss on his chest, "I love you too," she whispers, his hand is roaming her body and she giggles about it, "hmm," he whispers as she starts to kiss his throat, "you're becoming an experienced lover," she whispers, he chuckles, "only yours," he whispers, she lifts her head up and looks in his eyes, "you mean that?" She whispers, he nods and bit his lip as he looks down, his hand caressing up to a breast, she grabs his chin and starts to kiss him passionately, he holds his breath and rolls over with her.
Peter is early awake as well, he already took a shower and got dressed, he looks at Colin and Lisa, they're both fast asleep, he sighs a little and walks outside, he wish he had someone, he looks around and takes a deep breath, it's 7 now, too early yet but he's hungry, he's going to look at the main building, to see if the waiters are there already that Max has appointed that would help today, for the wedding, he wants everything to be perfect for the two couples, Lisa moves a bit when the door went open and close, she opens her eyes and yawns a bit, last night they couldn't be intimate because of Peter, Colin couldn't come to her room because of Jenny and Baby, she looks at Peter's bed and sees he's gone.
"Good morning," Colin whispers as he opens his eyes, Lisa looks at him again and smiles, his curls are messy and she loves to let her hands go through his curls, so she let her hand go through his hair, he moves and starts to kiss her, "Peter is gone," she whispers and he chuckles, "hmm, do I know what that means?" He whispers and she giggles, he grabs her and rolls over, Lisa shrieks and giggles.
Mr. Castle wakes up and turns his head, Clarissa is still asleep and he smiles, she's staying in his room since their talk, he loves it and he thinks about how to do this when they need to go back to work, then he thinks about his son and smiles, he stands up and went for a shower, after the shower he came back to the bedroom and sees that Clarissa is still asleep, he takes his clothes and looks for a piece of paper and a pen, he writes her a short note and went to his son, it's a big day and he wants to spent some time with his son before the ceremony, he looks around and it's still quiet on the resort, he inhales deeply and sees Peter walking to the main building, "Peter!" He says, Peter looks up and smiles.
"Hey, Mr. Castle," Peter says as he is close now, "please call me senior," Mr. Castle says and Peter nods, "what are you doing here so early?" Mr. Castle asks, Peter puts his hands in his pockets, they walk on to the main building, "I'm gonna see if the staff is ready to make everything in order for the wedding, it needs to be perfect," Peter says, Mr. Castle smiles, "I'm sure it will be perfect, I'm happy to see you're doing something you seem to love doing," he says, "I do, I love doing these things a lot," Peter replies, "have you ever thought about doing this as a professional?" Mr. Castle asks, Peter looks at him and sighs a little, "yeah, it would be my dream coming true, but my father will kill me," Peter says, "why don't you tell him?" Mr. Castle asks, "I don't think he wants to listen to me, he wants me to become an economist or accountant." Peter says and inhales deeply.
"Is this maybe because of his wealth, that he has so many expectations from you, you got siblings?" Mr. Castle asks, "yeah, I have an older sister but she's married to a millionaire," Peter answers, "is she successful?" He asks, "not really, she only finished high school and then got promised to that millionaire," Peter says, "so, he has these expectations because he wants one of his kids to be successful," Mr. Castle says, "I guess so, that's why I'm learning economy," Peter says, "please, take this from me," he says and Peter nods, "do what you dream of doing, and show your father your real self, even if he would hate it at first, and maybe will make big troubles," Mr. Castle says, Peter sighs deeply, "he loves you, I'm sure, and if you can show him what you do, he'll be proud of you."
"I know it's hard for you, you've been having so many secrets, I know you told your friends, I can see how you loosen up around them, they accept you and they love you," Mr. Castle says, Peter starts to smile now, "I'm so happy to have them as my friends," Peter says, Mr. Castle lays his hand on Peter's shoulder as they stand still at the stairs, "things will probably not go easy for you, but your father deserves to know, think about it," Mr. Castle says, Peter only nods, "I'm going to my son," he adds and turns, "I'll see you soon, senior." Peter says and walks up the stairs, Mr. Castle turns his head to look after Peter, he smiles a little and walks to the staff quarters.
When it's near 11, Peter looks around as he stands at the gazebo, the chairs are standing in lines, covered with the white lace that he had ordered, the flowers are placed, he smiles as he watch how a few waiters are finishing the porch, the chairs for Tito's band are standing ready as well, after lunch the tables in the restaurant will be prepared by the waiters, the wedding will be at 3 this afternoon, so there's still enough time left.
Chris walks with Penny to the girls, they stand still at the stairs, she looks at him and smiles, he leans in and gives her a sweet kiss, "I'll see you soon," he whispers, she grabs his head and starts to kiss him passionately, "don't kiss me like that," he whispers and she giggles about it, "I'll see you later, gorgeous," she whispers and walks up the stairs, he looks after her and smiles, he turns and walks to Colin, they need to go to Johnny and Billy, he walks up the stairs and knocks on the door, "enter," he hears Colin saying, he opens the door and sees Colin and Lisa smooching, "you're ready?" Chris asks with a smile, "we were just saying goodbye," Colin says, "I can see," Chris says and Lisa giggles, she looks at Colin and gives him a kiss again, "I'll see you later." She whispers, he smiles and quickly gives her a kiss before she walks away.
"Let's go," Colin says, Chris smiles as they walk towards the main building to get Peter, "you sure look very happy with Lisa," Chris says, Colin looks at him with a smile, "I am, she's something," Colin says and Chris chuckles about it, "I mean, she's a hard one, she knows exactly what she wants and people need to move for that, I know she sometimes comes across as being cold," Colin says, Chris is only listening to him, Colin can't stop talking about Lisa anyway, the guys got used to it, "but she's so sweet and she has a warm heart under all those layers," Colin says, Chris chuckles about it, "I get it, Colin, everyone can see how much you love her," Chris says, Colin smiles, "how about Penny?"
"I want to stay with her for the rest of my life, I never had these feelings before, this morning I told her I'm only hers, you should've seen her face," Chris says, Colin keeps smiling as he looks at Chris, "I don't think someone has ever told her that," Chris says and inhales deeply, "you're still scared that she gets tired of you?" Colin asks, Chris only nods, "can I say something?" Colin asks again, "sure," Chris answers, they stop and look at each other, "we all heard Johnny telling you that Penny never had someone like you, someone who really loves her," Colin says, Chris nods when he thinks about the conversation, "you have to take his word for it, I don't think Penny will leave you," Colin says, "what do you mean?" Chris asks, "I mean, I know she's older than you, she's working here and you're going to college, she has experienced a lot in her life, but Johnny knows her through and through."
Colin pauses for some moments, they walk on, "they're best friends since they were about 10," Chris says, Colin smiles, "what I'm trying to say is that Johnny has seen her going through bad and good times, if he told you that he never has seen her being so happy, that this must be true, then you must be the one for her," Colin says, "you think so?" Chris asks, Colin nods, "I do." Colin answers, Chris is thinking about it as they are close to the gazebo.
"Peter, we need to go," Colin says as they are close to Peter, who looks at them with a smile, "how's it going?" Colin asks as he looks around, "everything is ready for the ceremony, the pastor will arrive soon, the tables in the restaurant will be dressed up after lunch, so that's the only thing I need to check on," Peter explains, Chris looks at the whole picture and smiles, "it looks very romantic, you outdid yourself," Chris says, "thanks, Chris, I want it to be perfect for them," Peter says, "I think it's already perfect," Colin says, "let's go, we'll be having lunch at Johnny's." Chris says, they walk away.
