Author's note: This story can stand on it's own, but it is also a continuation of "At the end of the day".
I look at the woman that I see in front of me in the mirror. She has the biggest smile on her face and her eyes sparkle. She looks happy, and confidant, and so much in love. That woman can't be me. Can't they see how nervous I am? This is the most important day in my life and I can't wait for it to begin. I also can't wait for it to be over, when I could finally wrap my arms around him and just hold him close to me and never let go.
I didn't imagine that my smile could grow wider, but just the thought of him does the trick. I haven't seen him since yesterday and I started missing him one second after we broke our last kiss goodbye.
I close my eyes and I see him in my head. He is standing in front of me, waiting for me to come to him. He is wearing his dress whites and I can see the gold wings on his chest sparkle with every breath that he takes. I forget everything else the moment my eyes reach his face, and he captures my gaze with his. He smiles that fly-boy smile of his that I love so much, and that always makes me go weak in the knees. From the first time that I saw that smile it had that effect on me. I resented that smile at first, because I was sure that he was using it on every woman he meets. And he is in a way. He has all sorts of copies of that smile for everyone else, but he saves the real one for me.
I open my eyes and look at myself again. I slide my hand across my dress, as though to smooth some invisible wrinkles. The truth is that it's just another way to make my mind realize that this is real, that I'm not dreaming anymore.
I lift my hand to touch the little flowers in my hair, and as I do so I catch the sparkle from the ring on my hand. The ring I've been waiting for without realizing it since the first day I met him. The one that comes with the right man, in the right time and with the right future.
I hear the door open behind me, and through the reflection in the mirror I see a blond head coming through it.
"Ready to go ma'am?" She asks softly as she finally comes in and closes the door behind her.
I turn around to face her. "Harriet, it's my wedding day! Don't you think that at least for today you can stop calling me ma'am?" I try to say it in my best marine voice, but I can't really keep the laughter and the happiness out of it.
"Yes ma'am." Is her response to that, with a big smile on her face and a mock salute. Than she crosses the room and gives me my bouquet. After she fixes one of the flowers in my hair she says, "Come on... Sarah, you don't want to keep your sailor waiting."
I can't answer that. I want to but I can't find my voice. I'm too nervous now. I take a deep breath to calm myself and I follow her out of the room.
I couldn't wait for this moment and now it's here. I can't wait to start walking down the aisle and see Harmon Rabb Jr. waiting for me at the alter.
*****
A couple of hours later we are dancing together. Our first dance as husband and wife. We are the only ones on the dance floor and everyone is watching us. But I don't even see them. All I can see is that smile that I pictured in my head earlier, and those eyes that tell me without using words how much he loves me.
Than I feel his arms pulling me even closer to him, and I hear him whispering in me ear. "Have I told you lately how beautiful you are Mrs. Rabb?"
I tighten my hands around his neck and pull him down to me. I give him a light kiss on the lips before I answer him. "Yes. But I don't mind hearing it again."
He pulls away from me a little, so he can look into my eyes. "Sarah MacKenzie Rabb, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and I can't wait to spending the rest of my life with you." He says softly.
I look at him for a second. I can't talk. Those words and that look in his eyes make me feel like if I would try to open my mouth and make a sound I would start crying. So I just pull him down to me for another kiss. And this kiss tells him everything that I can't - how much I love him, how much I need him, how much I want him.
When the kiss ends we are both a little out of breath. He leans his forehead against mine as he pulls me closer to him.
"Do you think that anyone will mind if we leave a little early?" He says to me with a hint of a smile in his voice.
"Harm!" I hit him lightly on the arm and start to laugh. But the look in my eyes tells him that I actually have the same thought. He starts laughing and swirls me around in his arms.
It's been the perfect day, and the perfect wedding, but I can't wait to go home and start my life with my sailor.
