Chapter 16
- - 3 Weeks Later- -
Mark had been on medical leave...Glenn said it was actually cause he couldn't get his head on straight...but who cares...Meanwhile...While we were stopped in Chicago...Samantha and John's wedding was going to be taking place...
I was finally off the crutches and getting around with a slight limp...and Randy never left my side...I think we actually had grown closer...I still hadn't told anyone what Mark had said to me...I knew I would eventually have too.
Randy and I sat with Paul and Stephanie and Nina and David. As soon as we walked up Paul said, "Hey look Gimpy did make it." I gave Paul the finger as the others laughed. We sat down and Randy pulled me close to him...He said, "You look beautiful."
I said, "No...Sam looks beautiful...she's the one getting married." Randy said, "Too bad it isn't you...you look beautiful enough to get married today." I said, "You suck up quite well ya know that?" Randy smirked and said, "Of course...is it working?" I said, "Only for you." Randy kissed my cheek and I returned the kiss only a softer version on his lips.
Sam's dress was a Unique A-line gown with a double organza skirt accented with a contrasting satin hem. Italian satin bodice with contrasting boning is embellished with contrasting floral embroidery and rosettes on straps and at center back. Her veil was an elaborate tiara featuring round and baguette rhinestones; the edging of the sheer veil was satin ribbon, 2 tiers of veils, one at 28 inches and the other at 36 inches.
She was beautiful.
Sam's sister Nia was her maid of Honor in a powder blue bride's maid dress...and Brock was John's best man. Nia and Brock had finally gotten their shit together and decided to start dating HEAVY.
We watched as Samantha walked down the isle on Glenn's arm...he was such a proud Uncle...and happy to be giving away one of his beautiful niece to a man he knew would take care of her and love her like no other man could.
After they said their 'I dos' and were pronounced husband and wife...we went to the reception...speeches were made with toasts...Then the dancing and fun stuff began...the photographer got some great pictures of the bride and groom stuffing cake instead of into each others faces...into their maid of honor and best mans faces Brock and Nia...Who weren't exactly expecting to get a hand full of cake smashed into their faces.
All Nia got out was an "I'm gonna kill you Sammie!" Before Brock threw her over his shoulder and said, "Ah...Pipe down woman." And carried her off s to places unknown.
Randy asked me to dance and we got to the dance floor...and he wrapped me up in his arms...and we talked a little while we danced...I said, "Remind me to thank you for having such a great time today." He smiled and said, "Okay...remind me to say you're welcome after your thank you." I smiled and said, "Okay...One we get back to the hotel...We really need to talk...I've had something on my mind since I broke my toe and I really need to talk to someone about it."
Randy rested his forehead against mine and said, "I'm all yours." I leaned up and kissed his lips softly and said, "Thanks." He said, "Anytime." It was nice to feel Randy's arm around me as we danced so slowly...I think we continued to dance even after the song was over.
