Ch.27
Ethan stood in the dressing room of the church. He was finishing getting ready. While he looked in the mirror to make sure everything looked good, he remembered the conversation he had had with Teresa a few days before.
Flashback…Ethan is sitting in his office. *
"Hey can I come in?"
Ethan looked up from his computer to find Teresa standing in his doorway.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" he asked as he made his way towards her and gave her a hug.
"I needed to talk to you," she said. "Can I sit down for a minute? I can come back of you're busy…"
"No I'm not busy at all, please sit." He pulled a chair up for her then made his way back around to his seat.
"So what's going on?"
"Well…" Teresa began. "I have a favor I need to ask you."
"Sure go ahead."
She hesitated.
"Teresa what is it? You can ask me."
"Well as you know the wedding is in a few days-"
"Teresa you're not going to ask me to help you escape or anything are you?"
She laughed.
"Of course not Ethan!"
"Ok," he said laughing. "Just checking."
She giggled.
"As I was saying…before I was so rudely interrupted…she glanced at Ethan causing him to laugh again. "The wedding is a few days away, and everything is almost perfect. There is one thing that's not quite done yet, and that's where you come in."
"Ok" Ethan said unsure of what she was talking about.
"Ethan…will you give me away?"
Ethan was stunned.
"What?"
"I want you to give me away."
"Teresa," he said. "Why me?"
"Because I love you…you're my best friend Ethan. Nothing would make me happier than having you give me away."
He didn't say anything.
"You know I always thought that Luis would be the one to do it…but God had a different plan for him Ethan…and I want you to do it. If you don't want to I understand-"
"Teresa." He interrupted. "Nothing would make me happier."
Her eyes grew wide with excitement.
"Really?"
"I would be honored."
"Oh thank you Ethan!" she jumped up from her chair and ran over to him, kissing his cheek.
"You don't know how much this means to me."
He smiled as he hugged her.
"I'll make Luis proud."
End Flashback*
"Ethan are you ready?"
he looked up from his daze. He could see her reflection in the mirror.
Teresa.
She looked stunning. She was wearing a long white dress, which flowed at the bottom. She was wearing a curly wig, and on top of it, a long white veil. She looked like a goddess.
"Wow" was all he could say as he turned to face her.
"Ah so you approve" she said smiling.
"You look stunning."
She blushed.
"Thank you Ethan."
He walked over to her, taking her arm in his.
"Are you nervous?"
"Nervous? Me?" she asked, trying to hide her shaking hands.
He smiled.
"Maybe a little bit."
"Well don't be." he kissed her hand.
He took her, and led her to the chapel, where everyone was already inside. She looked in the partially opened door, trying to get a glance of Fox.
Just then, the wedding march began to play.
"This is it." She whispered. She looked up at Ethan, giving him a huge smile.
"Lets go."
They slowly opened the door, and began walking down the aisle.
