Hey guys!! Sorry it took me so long to update I started college and that's
been taking up a lot of my time. I try to update faster from now on though,
I promise. Please be patient with me and keep up the r/r!!! I love it
Now on with the story!!!
Jamie was sleeping so soundly that I hated to wake her, but I knew she'd never forgive me if she missed her own wedding reception.
"Jamie, baby," I said shaking her gently, "we're here."
"Mmm great!" she said waking up slowly. She smiled the widest smile I've ever seen, "Let's go party!"
Her excitement always amazed me. No matter how small or ordinary the event she reacted like a little kid at Christmas. She hopped out of the limo, grabbed my hand, and began running across my dad's lawn. When she reached the platform she teared up at the sight of all our family and friends gathered in celebration of us.
"Oh Landon, this is wonderful!" she cried.
Jamie squeezed my hand as her father proudly announced, "Ladies and gentleman, may I present to you, Mister and Misses Landon Rawlings Carter."
About an hour and a half in to the reception (after everyone had eaten) Jamie and me were sitting at the head table.
Eric (it was Jamie's idea) was djing the party.
He grinned, Now I don't know 'bout you all but I think it's about time for my man Landon and his woman to get their groove on. What'd ya say?"
Jamie laughed, I rolled my eyes, and Reverend Sullivan looked annoyed at his little girl being called "my woman."
"You ready?" I asked her as I took Jamie's hand and led her out in to the middle of the yard.
Jamie smiled as one of her favorite songs started to come through the speakers:
IT MUST HAVE BEEN COLD THERE IN MY SHADOW TO NEVER HAVE SUNLIGHT ON YOUR FACE YOU WERE CONTENT TO LET ME SHINE THAT'S YOUR WAY YOU ALWAYS WALKED A STEP BEHIND
IT MIGHT HAVE APPEARED TO GO UNNOTICED BUT I'VE GOT IT ALL HERE IN MY HEART I WANT YOU TO KNOW I KNOW THE TRUTH COURSE I KNOW IT I WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HERO YOU'RE EVERYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO BE AND I CAN FLY HIGHER THAN AN EAGLE CAUSE YOU ARE THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS.
"Oh Landon, this is perfect!" Jamie gushed.
Holding Jamie in my arms couldn't have felt more right at that moment. I started to kiss her finding more passion than I ever thought possible. What started out as a purely innocent kiss deepened.
"You wanna get out of here?" Jamie whispered against my mouth.
I grinned at her with a sparkle in my eye, "Uh huh."
Jamie took my hand and we began to leave. We were stopped by both of our fathers. After saying good-bye to my dad, she turned to Reverend Sullivan and hugged him.
"Are you happy Jamie?" he asked her.
"More than I ever thought possible daddy." Jamie said confidently.
"I want to speak to Landon for a moment." Said Reverend Sullivan.
"Kay." Said Jamie kissing me lightly on the lips, "I'll wait in the car."
I watched Jamie walk out then I turned towards her father, "So what did you wanna talk to me about sir?"
"Landon, when I gave my daughter away to you today I put my trust in you to take care of her. You know what that means don't you."
He looked in my eyes to be sure I'd gotten the message.
"Yes sir." I replied.
Then I left the reception hall sure of what I could or make that couldn't do that night.
