Chapter 4
ADAM'S P.O.V
I watched as Julie made her way back down the aisle with Charlie, I knew he was pulling a face of some sort at her as she began laughing and trying to ignore him. I felt all warm inside, I know I sound all girly and everything, but here I was watching my best friend and my girlfriend together, you know plenty of guys struggle to get their girlfriends and best friends to like each other, yet that wasn't a worry for me. I followed the remaining ducks outside, waiting for the bride and groom to appear from signing the registers. The next 5 minutes, went by in a blur, Casey and Gordon left the registry office, being chased by guests with confetti and such and before I knew it, I was climbing into a car with a few other ducks, to head to the venue for the reception.
As with every wedding, there's the photo's, the meal and the speeches, none of this registered, I had one thought running through my mind, Julie. The more I tried to think of other things, the more the thoughts lead me straight back to Julie. I had found myself doing this a lot lately, wondering what my life would be like without her, what life was going to be like with her, the same conclusion came for each - without Julie, life officially sucked, with Julie was the only option. Her smiling face seemed imprinted in my brain and throughout Charlie's and Jan's speeches all I could see was her. What was wrong with me? Everything about my life spelt Julie in numerous ways.
I was stood in a corner with my fellow team mates, whilst the hotel staff moved the tables and chairs we had been sat at for the meal, so that Casey and Gordon could have their first dance, I was vaguely aware that the conversation being held was about the Olympics, it was then I decided I better tune in before they actually noticed my gazing off into space.
"I read that most of the guys from Iceland team that we played against in the goodwill games are on the Olympic team". Ken informed us. "They'll probably be even harder this time".
"I think that the Canadian team is going to be harder to beat". Guy offered his opinion, just as Charlie, Connie and Julie came over. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.
"We're just as good as them, don't worry about it". Charlie joined the conversation straight away.
The conversation continued for a few minutes, until we all hushed as Gordon and Casey began their first dance. I stood on the edge on the dance floor with Julie's back leaning against my chest, my arms were resting around her waist. When the song ended, a small cheer let out as they headed toward Gordon's mom.
"CHARLIE, JULIE, CONNIE". Gordon's mom shouted them over, a camera visible in her hand.
"Not again". All of them said simultaneously as they looked at each other.
We all watched, laughing as the three of them posed with huge fake smiles on their faces, then as soon as the camera flashed, their faces fell back to a small genuine smile. When they came back, we all stood around, watching the by now many couples as they danced.
"You gonna dance with me or what"? Julie asked, as Connie dragged Guy up, and the ducks found a free table.
"Sure thing". I took her hand and we walked into the middle of the dance floor and stepped closer to each other. "Did I mention how gorgeous you look today"? I joked a little breaking the silence.
"No, you didn't actually, I was beginning to feel ugly". She joked in return.
"You could never be ugly". I replied.
"Yeah, well you scrub up pretty well yourself Banksie". She laughed gently, then the silence returned as we stepped slowly in time with Roxette's song 'It must have been love'. After the song ended, we exited the dance floor and sat with the others, well I say sat, it was mainly me sat with Julie perching herself in my lap. Connie and Guy were right behind us, all we could hear was Connie teasing Guy about him stepping on her feet all the time.
A few of the ducks asked both Connie and Julie for a dance which they willingly accepted. It was only whilst watching Julie try to get Ken into a rhythm, that Connie came and grabbed my arm pulling me to the dance floor. The song was Berlin 'take my breath away', we stepped in time with the music and I could tell Connie was dying to say something.
"Oh thank God you don't step on my feet, I'm sure I have a least 3 broken toes on my right foot". She laughed.
"Guy can't be THAT bad"! I exclaimed laughing a little.
"Bet you he can". She replied. "Anyhow, what's up, you've been staring of into space all afternoon". Ah, I knew she wanted to say something.
"Nothing just thinking". I replied as casually as possible.
"About Julie"?
"Maybe". I answered.
"Definitely about Julie". She told me. "So what about her"?
"I dunno, I just can't seem to get her out of my head recently, it's like I'm eating, sleeping , breathing her".
"Boy have you got it bad".
"So come on then, what do I do oh mighty one"? I joked a little but the question a genuine one.
"Propose". She answered simply.
"Huh"!
"Propose, you know ask her to marry you". She replied slowly.
"I know what it is, but what make you think I NEED to propose"?
"What makes you think you SHOULDN'T propose"?
"Well there's er, and then erm". I tried to come up with one reason why I shouldn't, but came up with none.
"See, now try to think why you SHOULD"?
"Well, I love her, I can't see myself being without her".
"There you go then, you've just answered your own question". She smirked jokingly at me.
"Do you think I should"?
"YES Adam, I think you should, you guys are made for each other, you never stop talking about her and she never stops talking about you".
"Ok, I'll do it". I said finally.
"Would I make a brilliant Dr Love or what"? She laughed, as the song ended and we left the dance floor.
We each danced a few more times, before it was time for Casey and Gordon to leave. We all followed closely, only diving in front of them at the last second so we could see the looks on their faces as they saw their final surprise. We had organised with the limo company to dress the limo up in Mighty Ducks jerseys, and among wonders of wonders Dwayne had the brilliant idea to put a duck on the roof. Knowing we couldn't put a real duck there, we negotiated with the sculpture class at college to make us a paper maché duck to stick on top of the roof. It was the first time we saw it, and it was about the size of a large dog. When they got to the top of the stairs and first saw the limo, they both cracked out laughing, before thanking us and quickly climbing in.
We stayed for about another half an hour, before organising to leave. Jan who had been sat and dancing with Gordon's mom all evening, was going to be staying at Gordon's with all his family for a few days before getting a flight back to Minnesota. We all left, saying our goodbyes as we did, though we'd more than likely be seeing most of them pretty soon anyway.
I headed straight home with Julie and we both got changed. Julie went for a shower, to wash all the hair spray and mousse out of it. Whilst she was gone, I headed into our bedroom and opened my sock drawer to find a small burgundy box of that my mom had given me when I first started going out with Julie. It was her engagement ring, and she had said I was to use it whenever, I thought now was the perfect time. I pocketed the box and then retrieved some cotton from under the bed where we kept all the sewing stuff, not that there was a lot anyway. I sat in the living room and waited for Julie to get dressed, before taking her hand and leading her outside. We walked for a little while, heading to the beach just in time to see the sun beginning to set. When I felt ready, I stopped to face her.
"What are you doing Adam"? She asked my curiously.
"You'll find out in a few minutes, give me your left hand". She willingly obliged.
I planted the burgundy box in her hand and waited for her to open it, revealing a small cotton bobbin, she looked at me confused, and I was pretty sure there was a little look of disappointment there too. I laughed inwardly, if only she knew what was coming next.
"I don't understand". She told me.
"It symbolises my love for you". I told her.
"Huh, I'm still not with you".
"Well, in 21 years, I have never seen the end of a cotton reel, the cotton goes on forever, just like us". I tied a loop around her finger and pulled the reel away, when I knew she wasn't looking, I slipped the ring over the cotton bobbin and dropped it, allowing it to slide down the cotton directly onto her finger. "Will you marry me". I finally got down on one knee.
"Adam, I'm sorry, but". She began but I cut her off.
"It's ok, I understand". I stood and began taking the cotton and ring from her, not understanding at all.
So what do you think???? PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
