Love & Tribulations – Chapter 33
THE NEXT DAY
Cj unlocked the door to her apartment and was about to walk in when Randy pulled her back and scooped her up into his arms. Cj squealed and smiled at Randy.
"What are you doing?"
"Carrying my beautiful wife over the threshold"
"You're crazy"
"Yeah I know" he said kissing her before he carried her into the apartment kicking the door shut behind him.
"Put me down then"
Randy shook his head and carried Cj into the bedroom kicking the door closed behind him again.
LATER…
Cj ran furiously through the crowded street and spotted Faith stood waiting for her. She finally reached Faith almost collapsing in her arms.
"I…am…so…unhealthy" Cj said while gasping for air. "I'm sorry sweetie I got…distracted" she said with a devilish smile.
"No worries when have you ever known Nikki or Dogma to be on time? Come on we'll take a steady walk to the café"
"Ok" said Cj dragging her tired legs and feet with her.
A While Later - At the Café
The four friends sat down and picked up the menus to choose what they were having for lunch.
"I'll have a salad with hot hard boiled egg and a coffee please" said Nikki smiling at the waitress as she handed her the menu.
"Err…I'll have a burger and fries and an orange juice please" said Faith politely
"Cheese omelette and diet lemon please" said Cj handing over her menu with her left hand carefully laid underneath the table out of sight from her friends.
"A glass of mineral water please" said an unhappy Dogma handing the menu to the waitress who smiled and left the table.
"Mineral water? Are you on a diet?" asked Nikki
"Just don't want anything to eat that's all"
The three girls knew not to dig too deep with Dogma and to let him tell them what was bothering him in his own time.
"Ok I have some news" said Cj jumping straight in very excited about her nuptials the previous day.
"Me too" said an excited Faith interrupting Cj "Me and Mark are back together"
"Oh my God congratulations" said Nikki as Dogma's expression didn't change and Cj sat shocked in her seat. What had changed? Mark had just wanted to give Faith her belongings and now they were back together.
"That's great" said Cj putting on a false confused smile
"I told you he wanted to get back with me. I went over yesterday and we were a little uneasy to start with then he pulled out a picture of us which I'd practically had to glue to the table because he didn't want it there. Well he'd apparently by accident broke the frame it was in so he bought a new one for it…from Tiffany's"
"Tiffany's? My brother shops at Tiffany's?" asked a shocked Nikki
"Yes he does and he said the next time he shops at Tiffany's he wants it to be for a ring and that if a bad picture of us deserved a frame like that then maybe we deserved a clean slate. It was so romantic, we didn't sleep together but we just slept in each others arms all night and that's what I missed"
"We're so happy for you. I'm still a little stunned that Mark would pay Tiffany's prices but maybe you've changed him" said Nikki smiling at Faith
"Ok now I have some news" said Cj trying to get the spotlight back
"So do I" interrupted Dogma "Jeff and I are over"
"What?" asked a concerned Cj
"He came back to discuss us and neither one of us will move. We can't live apart and be a couple. So he left last night"
"Dog I'm so sorry" sympathised Cj holding her friends hand
"I thought you loved him" asked Faith
"I do"
"Then why aren't you in North Carolina?"
"Why should I have to move?"
"Why should he?"
"He's more flexible there's nothing holding him down in Cameron"
"What about his family?"
"What about mine?"
"When was the last time you spoke to your Mom?"
"I meant you guys. I can't live in Cameron it's like asking you to move to some tiny little town and take you away from your big city life"
"I'd do it for Mark. If he lived somewhere else and didn't want to move I'd move to be with him. It's a sacrifice I'd have to make for the man I love"
"I'm not sitting here to be lectured at" said Dogma standing up and walking out of the café
"Dog!" called Cj as her friend walked away. She turned to Faith. "Why?"
"He's going to lose the best thing in his life because he won't move to Cameron. What's stopping him?"
"Just let him work it out for himself"
"Fine"
"So Cej what was your news?" asked Nikki trying to ease the tension
Cj felt the moment at been ruined and uncaringly slapped her left hand on the table for them to see her rings.
"Whoa!!" said Nikki taking Cj's hand in hers and examining her finger
"You're engaged?" asked Faith
"No…she's married" said Nikki pointing to the white gold diamond encrusted wedding band out to Faith
"Married?"
Cj sat silently and emotionless while the two girls sat in awe over her left hand.
"Are you going to explain this?" demanded Nikki
"What's to explain? It's all there"
"Cj!" Nikki said sternly
"Randy proposed I said yes. We wanted to get married before the year was out but there's all the arrangements then the location we couldn't have found somewhere before the New Year and when he proposed…Faith and Mark weren't happy and Dogma was going through stuff with Jeff I didn't want to parade my big rock around and talk about weddings when everyone was so unhappy. So we got married at City Hall…yesterday"
"Yesterday? That's why I couldn't get in touch with you?" asked Nikki knowing the answer
"Congratulations" said Faith smiling and hugging her friend
"Thank you"
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for it I'm so happy for you" Faith said smiling at Cj
Cj looked at her sister and wanted nothing more than her approval. "You deserve more than City Hall"
"It was my choice I just wanted him"
"Congratulations" said Nikki standing up and walking around to her sister hugging her.
"Girl that is one good rock" said Faith picking up Cj's hand
Cj laughed "I'm not complaining about it"
LATER…
Cj went home to be with her new husband before he was summoned by the WWE once again and Nikki and Faith proceeded to the shops.
"I'm happy for her" said Faith
"So am I but come on Faith you've known Cj long enough to know she wants the big fairytale wedding. She always has and she's had it planned since she was about six. She might be happy she got her man but you know she's not happy about the way it happened…I mean City Hall"
"You know she had me you and Clara as bridesmaids"
"Clara?"
"Before the fight of course"
"She had us each carrying a different flower. I was carrying calla lilies, you were carrying roses and Clara was carrying daisies. You're right she wanted the whole day"
"So lets give it her"
"Nik she's married"
"She didn't get the wedding…she just got a room at City Hall with obviously no guests because we weren't invited so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't class as a proper wedding"
"So they're not married?"
"Of course they're married but why can't they have like a commitment ceremony or something just so Cj gets her big white wedding?"
"She won't go for it"
"Cj wants this even if she won't admit it all we have to do is make it very appealing to her. I'm her sister I should help with her wedding not find out about it the day after"
Later…
Cj arrived at Dogma's door and rang the doorbell and waited patiently for a reply. Dogma finally made it to the door and opened it and stood in Cj's way.
"Cj I'm not in the mood to talk"
"Who says I wanna talk to you? I've just brought over this delicious cheesecake hoping that somebody might help me and stop me for gorging on it"
Dogma smiled "Come in"
"I knew cheesecake would break you" said Cj kissing Dogma on the cheek and walking into the kitchen.
Cj placed the cheesecake on the counter and took two forks out of the drawer handing one to Dogma who sat on the kitchen stool.
"Best cheesecake in New York" said Cj drooling over it.
Cj used her left hand to turn the cheesecake to find the thickest base suddenly the light caught her diamond and it sparkled in Dogma's eye.
"Hey what is that?" he said pulling Cj's hand towards him
"When did this happen?"
"What?" said Cj trying to avoid the topic in front of her vulnerable and recently dumped friend.
"You've got a wedding band, unless you're trying them on for size. You're married"
"I forgot I'd got them on, I'm sorry. I didn't want to bring it up in front of you because you were so upset about Jeff"
"Cj that's sweet really it is but when my best friend gets married I wanna know about it"
"Ok I got married"
"Well thank you for telling me" said Dogma with a lazy smile
"You're welcome"
"So when?"
"Yesterday"
"And you didn't tell anyone?"
"No"
"City Hall job?"
"Yep"
"Are you happy?"
"Extremely"
Dogma smiled "Then congratulations" Cj smiled and Dogma kissed her and took his fork and started to eat the cheesecake before him.
"Let's hope it's this easy with Mark" said Cj as she filled her fork with cheesecake.
THE NEXT DAY
Knock Knock!!
Cj stirred as she heard knocking at the door she looked over her shoulder at her handsome husband whose arms were draped over her.
Knock Knock!!
Cj gently moved Randy's arm and quietly walked out of the room and towards the door.
Knock Knock!!
Cj opened the door.
"Ok now shh Randy's asleep"
"Sorry" said Nikki walking in followed by Faith and Dogma.
They all walked over to the couch as Cj closed the bedroom door as not to disturb Randy.
"What are you all doing here?" asked Cj sitting down in the chair across from them feeling like she was in front of a panel of judges.
Cj crossed her legs in the big cow chair and watched on as Nikki, Faith and Dogma tipped out a pile of stuff on her coffee table as she watched everything flow out of the bags and onto the table Cj quickly became aware of the mass of bride magazines.
"What's going on?"
"You're getting married" said Nikki with a smile
"Again" added Faith
"Apparently" added Dogma
"I already got married…see" she said holding up her left hand showing off her rings
"We know but we're a little upset that we weren't apart of it and I don't think Mom and Dad will be too happy about not knowing and I think the same may apply for Randy's. So you're getting married again so we can all be apart of it. You're going to have the big white wedding that you always dreamed of"
"Randy may find this a little weird"
"He's your husband he'll have to get used to it"
"And us" added Dogma
Suddenly the bedroom door opened and a sleepy eyed Randy walked out in just a pair of black boxer shorts. Dogma smiled at the desirable view.
"Good morning everybody" he said walking into the kitchen and putting some coffee on.
Nikki jumped out of her seat and walked into the kitchen.
"Randy" said Nikki trying to get Randy's attention and succeeding as he turned to face her "You don't mind marrying Cj again do you?"
Randy looked over at Cj in confusion "They're bitter because we didn't invite them so they want us to get married again so they can have a big white wedding for us"
"We're doing it for you" said Nikki snapping at her sister. Nikki looked at Randy "Cj has had her wedding planned since she was running around in shitty diapers…" Cj laughed and smiled at her friends before turning back to Nikki waiting to see where she was going with the shitty diapers example "…as romantic as I'm sure your spur of the moment wedding was my little sister needs more than City Hall. And if she doesn't have the big wedding she'll never forgive herself. Plus your parents and ours are not going to be very happy when they find out you eloped in a sense"
"Speaking of not very happy does Mark know?" asked Cj
"No but when he saw me with these magazines he flipped and went to work out so I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm booking the church"
Cj smiled "Please don't tell him let me do it. It'll only make him worse if he hears it from someone else"
"Do you think I'm crazy enough to tell him?" joked Faith
"Hello!" said Nikki trying to get everyone to focus "So what do you say Randy?"
"If Cj wants to do this then we'll do it. And if we get married again baby then we'll know it really worked" he said putting up both thumbs before pouring a mug of coffee and walking back into the bedroom.
Cj smiled as Nikki joined them back near the wedding chaos strewed on her table.
"I guess that's as romantic as it gets. So let's plan this wedding"
"Whoa!!"
"Whoa what?"
"I'm not going to pretend that I'm not already married"
"But…"
"No Nicole I do not want to lie for the rest of my life. I don't want people thinking we got married on any other day but the one that we did. We're telling everyone the truth and this wedding you're intent on will be a commitment ceremony, a blessing, a renewal of vows I don't care but I got married December 2nd and I'm not going to pretend it didn't happen"
"We didn't want you to" said Faith
"We just want you to have the wedding of your dreams" said Nikki
"And we will but not right now unless you want to wait because I think I should go and break the news to Mark"
"Oh do it gently I have to live with him" pleaded Faith.
LATER – AT MARKS APARTMENT
Mark was in the kitchen making himself some lunch when someone knocked at the door.
Knock Knock!!
Mark walked away from the kitchen and towards the door and opened it to see his sister stood before him.
"Hi" said a perky Cj
"If you're here where's Faith?"
"At my apartment I need to talk to you"
"If it's about me and Faith please don't" he said walking away from the door. Cj walked in and followed him to the kitchen.
"It isn't and why would it be?"
"Because the other day I was going to give Faith a box of her stuff and ended up getting back together with her. I'm waiting for you to start telling me I was an idiot for stringing it out like I did and we were meant for each other"
"You are an idiot and you two are meant for each other and I'm glad you're back together but that's not why I'm here"
"So why are you?"
"I wanted to come and tell you something and I wanted it to come from me"
"Ok" said a curious Mark
"Randy proposed to me and I accepted"
"Congratulations"
"You're not guna hit the roof?"
"Everyone could see it coming"
"Well I wish someone had told me because it came at me like a bolt of lightning. Well that's not all"
"Oh if you tell me you're pregnant I might fall down dead"
"I'm not pregnant"
"Oh thank God"
"I'm married"
"What?" said Mark completely shocked by Cj's announcement.
"We got married two days ago" Mark stood silent just staring at his sister "It was my idea and I don't regret it even though I know you and Mom are guna give me hell. I love him and it felt right" Cj waited for a reply from Mark "I told Nikki and Faith yesterday at lunch and before you start screaming at Faith I told her not to tell you because I wanted to do it myself" Mark still hadn't said a word and now he was walking away from his sister "We're having another wedding well a blessing of some sort that's why Faith came in with all the wedding books"
"So she doesn't want to get married?" he said breaking his silence
"She probably will but right now she's just happy being back here with you"
"I'm happy for you" he said turning to face Cj
"You mean that?"
"Yeah I do. You're great together I saw how miserable you were when you were apart. If he makes you this happy then he's ok with me"
"I got my brothers approval? We've gotta catch this on tape because nobody is guna believe me"
Mark smiled "Shut up" he said pulling his sister in and hugging her. "Congratulations sis"
