Chase saw his parents off at the airport first thing in the morning with the promise to keep them in the loop on the wedding plans . He had to swear to Pamela to stick to his guns on what he wanted for his wedding and not to let Zoey steam roll and sweet talking him into anymore fancy . He assured both of his folks that the tuxedo with tails was his only concession to fancy and prayed it was the truth . They were flying back to Baltimore to return to work and would return the week before the actual wedding .

Meanwhile at the Brooks home , Zoey sipped at her coffee ignoring her Dad , who was conducting some sort of business on his cell phone as Dustin shoveled another massive bite of cheesy eggs into his mouth between texting his sort of girlfriend back in Malibu .

Chase had went with her grandparents to make sure his folks got to the airport on time while the rest of their friends insisted it was the perfect morning for sleeping in because that was their prerogative now . Wedding details could hold off a few hours or so .It didn't stop her from being filled with anxiety and hated the fact as she was easy going mostly .

She didn't want to be a crazy bride !

Mike ended his call, placed his phone on the table and took a drink of his now cold coffee, making a disgusted face . He didn't care for the whole iced coffee thing the kids seemed to drink by the gallons . Did that make him old ? God , he felt old .

' Ech !'

Zoey furrowed her brows, worriedly .' Dad , will you do me a favor , please ,' begged Zoey , insistently ,' Talk to Mom , make her actually listen to what Chase and I want before she gets more out of hand . You know , Chase wanted to get married on the beach at PCA …'

Mike heaved a tired sigh .' She's excited, honey, and only wants your wedding to be perfect. I understood when you didn't want to do though whole debutante cotillion thing like Amanda did when she was your age so she's just latching onto the wedding as a mother /daughter thing, Zoey . '

He debated on confiding to Zoey and Dustin how his and Amanda's two years spent in England getting his new branch of the company up and running had been more of an adjustment than they had expected . Not being nearby when Zoey came to her own terms on being in love with Chase had always weighed heavily on Amanda's mind .

' I know that, Dad , but she all but insulted Chase's Mom ! I don't want my future mom -in-law to suddenly hate me because Mom wants us to have a huge wedding ' Zoey moved away from the table to the sideboard and helped herself to an apple to munch on wishing there were grapes instead .

When had it suddenly become so difficult to talk to her mom ?

' Your Mother apologized to the Matthews and all is well ' reassured Mike , trying to put her at ease ,' if you include her in your decisions , it will help .'

Zoey frowned .' Dad , Chase is wearing tails for me because I don't really want to hurt Mom's feelings '

Dustin lifted his head from his phone .' Chase looks funny in it too . '

' You guys just hate to dress formal , Dustin, I am sure Chase will be quite handsome '

Dustin just shrugged at his older sister , non-plussed . ' You got more wedding junk today or are you hanging out with Quinn, Lola, and Lisa later , Zo ? You know we could go fishing off the dock at Grandpa's like we used tooo…'

' We'll see, kiddo '

' I wont hold my breath then cause I know what that means ,' Dustin turned to look at his father ,' Dad you want to fish today ? '

' Fishing sounds great, buddy, but I've got some business to wrap up first ' told Mike , missing the flash of sudden disappointment across his sons face .

' Zoey, look what I found ,' Amanda burst into the dining room looking stylishly laid back in a fresh pair of designer jeans and a long pale pink button down shirt with her honey blonde hair bouncing casually against her shoulders ,' I know you didn't want to wear my wedding dress but will you consider the veil ? The headpiece is still gorgeous '

She held out the delicate rhinestone encrusted headpiece with the whisper thin chiffon veil and sent a loving look to her husband . Mike caught her eye and smiled warmly as they shared a memory of their special day . .

Zoey had been prepared to shoot her mom down except she had never really paid that much attention to the veil . The headpiece came down to a v , the rhinestones crisscrossed and instead of making it overly much, it seemed to be princessy and modern at the same time .It really was stunning !

' Oh, wow, it is soo cool ! How come I don't remember ever seeing this before ? ' asked Zoey, taking it from her mother . She moved over to the large antique mirror by the credenza and placed it on her head , marveling at the overwhelming rightness of it .

' Ooohh, Mom ….wow ' Something clogged in her throat that might have been emotion .

Amanda came up behind Zoey and placed her hands lightly on her daughters shoulders, beaming and sniffling at once . She brushed at a pale strand of blonde and adjusted the veil with a mothers touch .' You are going to be the most beautiful bride, sweetheart .'

' I thought it would be too much , too eighty seven or something but its perfect ' gushed Zoey, turning the angle of her head left then right .

Amanda laughed .' Well I was quite a stylish bride in my day , Zoey . I like to think I have excellent fashion sense ..'

' You've always been gorgeous to me, Amanda ' Mike rose to kiss his wife on the cheek as he rose to head into his office ,'and Zoey clearly takes after you .'

' Dad ! '

' I love you too, Mike ' called out Amanda as he left for work ,' So, Zoey, does this mean you'll wear my headpiece ? You could always trim the veil if it doesn't suit you .'

' Yes I'm going to wear it ! Thanks, Mom ' Zoey pulled her mother into a hug ,' It will look amazing with my dress . I'll have to show you my design '

Amanda's heart felt full and light that Zoey was choosing to include her now in the plans since it felt as they had been at odds . . This was so important , and she had been feeling as if she had to push and pull to do her duties as the mother of the bride . She had shared so much of her own wedding day with her Mom and expected to do the same with her daughter .

' I cannot wait to see it , dear '

Dustin grabbed another piece of bacon from the platter and moved away from the now empty table . It was good to be home and see his family but so far this wasn't exactly the rocking summer vacation that he had been hoping for it to be .

' Well all this goopy , mushy stuff is disgusting ,' declared Dustin , in a bored tone of voice ,' since no one needs me , I'm gonna go fishing . By myself

' Dustin, if you'll just wait, I'll go with you ' called out Zoey, feeling guilty but it had fallen on deaf ears as her little brother had high tailed it out of the house already .She would have to find the time to make it up to him later .

Amanda put an arm around Zoey's shoulders, giving a little squeeze .' Show me the sketches of your design for your wedding dress . Have you decided what the girls are wearing yet ? '

' I was thinking short and pale pink but I haven't found anything I like yet ' replied Zoey as she led her mom down the hallway to her bedroom ,' Lola will grumble just to be the drama queen she is , Lisa will go with whatever I decide, and so will Quinn though I'm sure she'll hate the pale part '

Amanda chuckled ,' But they are your best friends and will happily wear whatever you choose for them, sweetie .'

' I know . I'm just glad Ashton isn't making a fuss about being a bridesmaid ' Zoey reached for the sketchbook , rifling through it until she found the one she wanted and held it out to show her mother ,' I so wouldn't be able to handle the stress '

Amanda stared at the stylish strapless gown in awe of her daughters talent , sighed .

' This is the right gown for you , Zoey . Simple, contemporary, stylish '

It was really happening , her baby was getting married this summer . She would do everything in her power to make it a fairytale wedding that Zoey deserved to have .

********************wedding ***************************************

It was a bright , sunshiny day , a light breeze wafted through the air bringing with it the scents of the bayou and the flowers that grew nearby, as Lola donned a bright blue and yellow bikini and loaded with her sunbathing gear found the ideal spot that would be perfect for tanning and not burning . Vince and the guys were eating a late breakfast , Lisa was doing her morning yoga , while Quinn had decided to set up her equipment for some wacky new Quinnvention down in the sunroom off of the side of the house .

She pulled her dark hair into a ponytail and was digging out the lotion when a very buff shadow blocked the sun rays from her sight .

' Need a hand, Lola ? ' Lewis flashed a charming smile as he held out a hand ,' you should protect that delicate skin from our blazing southern sun '

Lola blushed and considered .' Thanks but I think I can manage '

' Ouch, you wound me ! ' teased Lewis, looking unruffled in a pair of crisp linen shorts and a blue polo shirt ,' I only offered assistance . There might be a much better spot for sunbathing on the far side of the house unless your fond of watching for hungry gators and the smell of old cotton '

' It's pretty here ' Lola had the urge to tug her bikini top but resisted ,' trust me it smells much better than some roofs that I've laid out on before and no bird pee '

Lewis blanched ,' That is rather disgusting '

' It really was yuck ,' agreed Lola as he sat down on the edge of her lounge chair ,' so what brings you out here today ? Your Grandparents went with Chase to the airport to see his parents off so they aren't here yet and Zoey is at her house '

' I thought I might see if Chase and the fellas were interested in a game of golf ' Lewis reached out to brush a fingertip against her knee ,' though I suppose I would enjoy spending the day with a beautiful woman instead .'

Lola found herself blushing at the compliment . ' I don't golf '

' We don't have to golf , Lola . I am sure there are much more entertaining things that you and I could find together to keep us occupied '

Vince spotted the smooth looking man looking quite intimate with Lola and found that he had to bite back the urge to punch first and ask questions later . He wasn't a violent man , he had much more control than Logan did , and he trusted that Lola loved him .

She wasn't going to cheat on him , it was probably all harmless .

' There is my Goergous Girl ,' Vince strolled over to drop a possessive kiss on his girlfriends mouth ,' I was looking for you . Quinn said you were tanning …' He met the curolous expression that other man directed his way and offered a hand ,' hey, pal, you must be the other cousin of Zoey's . I'm Vince Blake, Lola's boyfriend .'

Lewis met his gaze with a steady one of his own .' Vince , good to meet you . I'm Lewis and yes, Zoey is my much younger cousin .'

Lola reached to hold Vince's hand .' Vince, Lewis wanted to see if you guys wanted to all go out golfing with him . Is Chase back yet ? '

' I think so,' answered Vince, his smile polite but clouded ,' Reese will be thrilled . I know Logan brought his clubs with him though you will find that he and Michael are the better golfers than Chase and myself .'

' Should be a challenging game then , Vince ' replied Lewis , sliding his appraising gaze briefly from Vince back to Lola ,' well, lovely Lola , it was a pleasure seeing you again . If you will excuse me, I am going to see if Grandfather would care to join us .'

After Lewis was out of earshot, Lola made a point of becoming engrossed in rubbing down her arms with the lotion . She hadn't done anything wrong but she recognized the voice that Vince used and prepared for his reaction .

' Lewis is very nice . He's like 22 ,' chattered Lola , tugging on her top ,' when they were kids, Zoey said he used to be like way protective of her .'

' He was polite ,' stated Vince, putting his hands in the pocket of his shorts ,' he also couldn't take his eyes off of you, Lola . Kind of looked like some flirting was happening before I joined you so is that what is was ? '

Lola's brown eyes flashed .' Vince , really , so what if it was a bit of harmless , totally harmless flirting ? I mean this is the South so its like practically tradition along with ultra politeness and Lewis is Zoey's favorite guy cousin . You want me to be rude ? '

Vince lifted both palms up in the air .' You haven't done harmless since the kissing booth , Lola . I like to believe you and I are good with the harmless because we're confident in our relationship to each other . Logan seems to think Lewis is going to be a problem for us . Is he right ? '

Lola crossed her arms across her chest, mad .' Your best friend is a pig ! We don't have any problems , least of all from some guy I just met , unless you don't trust me '

She pivoted off the lounge chair to face him, brown eyes glaring up at him . He had been down here one day and stupid Logan was making mountains out of mole hills for them .

' Vince , you do trust me ? Don't you ? '

Vince chewed on the inside of his cheek. He didn't want to fight with her but he didn't want to ignore a potential problem either . He had learned to accept that Lola as an actress would often be required to be stage kissing men through her acting career . He wasn't crazy about it but he had dealt with it in his own way and was fine with it .

This wasn't acting and Lewis was a little too slick and charming to be trusting .

Favorite cousin or not , it bothered him slightly .

Vince sucked in a deep breath , let it go, and reached for her .' You know that I do but we don't know this guy and you have to admit he's got that Rhett butler Orlando Bloom thing working for him and I know you ….'

Lola wound her arms around his neck, threaded her fingers through his reddish brown hair and pressed little kisses against his mouth .

' I am also not 13 years old anymore , Vince . I'm gorgeous and I admit the flattery makes me feel like a million bucks which I also love but I am in love with you'

Vince brushed a light kiss against her temple . ' I am still so much in love with you '

He drew her into him for another heart stopping kiss . ' Can we save the flirting to strictly between you and me while we're down here , Lola ? '

' Awww, its like your kissing booth jealousy all over again . I love it !' Lola patted his chest with her hands as a seductive smile curved around her lips ,' you want to lay out with me today, Mr. Cutie Vince Blake and forget golfing with the boys ? '

Teasingly , Lola began undoing the buttons on his shirt .' You don't like golf that much …and we haven't been together for a whole week .'

Vince covered her hand with his own .' I like the wicked mind, Lola '

Lola threw her head back , laughing .' I know '

As she pulled Vince down on the lounge chair , bodies pressed close together as their mouths fused together , the miniscule problem seemed to be forgotten to the corners of their mind . Spontaneity and love had carried them away to another world .

************************Wedding Bells ******************************

Quinn had set up her traveling lab in the sunroom enjoying the juxopoxation between the old world feel of the white wicker loveseats, the antique table that held a crystal pitcher of freshly made sweet tea should she get thirsty mingled with the bubbling concoctions she was experimenting with in the flasks and beakers . Having gotten permission from the Cory's , the scientist was trying her hand at mixing the flavors of the south for a perfume for Zoey. It was an area she didn't really play around with much other than the neutralizer cologne she had mixed up for Michael a year earlier but it was different .

Quinn was using the components of cotton, magnolia, and other flowering plants surrounding the bayou to make her own fragrance for her friend . If perfumeries could bring to life incredible scents then surely she would have no problem on her own .

She had braided her long hair so it wasn't in her way while she worked and with the heat index scorching today, Quinn had went for comfort in a pair of shorts and a sleeveless PCA Wrestling top she had borrowed from her boyfriends suitcase .

She fingered a strand of green moss she had procured from a tree deliberating on its possible affects and if it would be too earthy . Would it cut the scent which was starting to bubble already and form color ?

' Babe , if your mixing a new drink, don't add the tree lint ' remarked Logan, coming up behind her to kiss her cheek ,' that is just gross '

Quinn lifted her face for his kiss .' It's moss, silly, not lint . I'm not making a Frazz 2.0 , I'm creating an exquisite Southern perfume for Zoey as a wedding present '

' Oh , cool,' Logan ran his hands up and down her arms , lightly ,' That's kind of sweet of you, Quinn . Hey I wanted to let you know I'm going with the guys to play some golf but I thought when we all got back we'd go into town to Tops for a romantic dinner '

Quinn sighed , took a moment to lean into his arms and dropped a kiss on his arm .

' That sounds wonderful '

' Wear something pretty ,' Logan tugged, playfully on a braid ,' don't blow up the mansion, baby, that would be rude .'

Quinn jabbed him in the elbow .' Go play golf, leave me alone '

Logan kissed her deeply then let her go .' Love you . Don't work too hard '

' Love you more .,' called Quinn as he left the sunroom ,' Be a good sport , Logan . Don't go throwing your golf clubs, sweetie "

Chuckling to herself at her Logan, Quinn lifted the goggles to her eyes and tore off a small strand of the moss to add to the mixture then watched as it gurgled turning a bright fuchsia .

That was awfully bright shade of pink but then Zoey did love pink .

*********************************Wedding Bells *************************

Hair up top of her head in a bun and outfitted in a bright blue leotard , Lisa lifted a graceful leg up to her head and held it as she concentrated on her breathing and the elegant lines of her body . The glorious scents of southern sweet tea and cotton blossoms drifted throughout the house and the dancer felt totally calm and relaxed .

' Lisa, we're on vacation , cant you do your sun salutations later ? '

Lisa lowered her leg to the ground and fixed him with a amused half smile .

' No, I can't ,' muttered a good natured Lisa , stretching her other leg into a new position all the while keeping her very energetic boyfriend in her line of sight ,' my body is my instrument , Michael . Aren't you supposed to be getting ready to play golf with the men ? '

Michael reached for the Blix and took a long pull from it .' I'm waiting on Chase - the dude is freaking out because we didn't bring our clubs . Well, except Logan but I told him it wasn't that big of a deal but you know how Chase can be .'

Lisa nodded , understanding .' You could be his best friend and help him out .'

' Chase doesn't need my help picking out a dang shirt , honey '

Lisa rolled her neck then simply walked over to kiss him , ever so softly .' Imagine how nervous you would be if you played golf with my father ? I'm sure Chase is still wanting to make a good impression on the rest of Zoey's family and you aren't helping '

Michael slid his hands around her waist .' Your dad still gives me the stink eye '

Lisa laughed as she straightened the collar of his yellow polo shirt .' That is because you act absurd when you try to talk to him , Michael . Go help Chase so I can finish getting changed before Mrs. Cory takes me on a tour of the place .'

' But I want to be alone with you, baby ' pouted Michael, scattering kisses across the delicate skin of her neck ,' have I told you how I was dying without you ? '

Lisa dropped a kiss on his chin .' About a million and two times but who is counting …'

Michael made a face at her .' Are you mocking me ? '

She kissed his ear .' Maybe a little '

Before the couple could continue , there was a knock on the door then Chase burst in , one hand covering an eye as he looked at his friends to make sure it was safe .

' Sorry for interrupting but my khakis with the blue polo made me look like one of those preppy guys in those 80's movies the girls made us watch . Do I look bad ? I mean, I'm pretty sure Logan had on shorts and a polo too but it doesn't matter if you guys look casual . I don't want Mac or Lewis to think I'm a bushy haired bum or anything '

Breathed Chase, anxiously as he wore a pair of long denim shorts and the nice dark blue polo that Zoey had gotten him recently on a shopping trip .

Her buying him clothes was another new change in their relationship .

Michael darted a glance at his frantic best buddy .' You look fine, Chase , relax '

' I think Mac likes me but I don't know ,' rambled on Chase ,' and Lewis looks like one of those perfect guys plus I don't want him to think Zoey deserves better than me . He taught her how to throw rocks , you know .'

On a overly dramatic sigh, Michael released Lisa and slapped a hand across his friends back in a gesture meant to bring him down from his babbling .

' Buddy, get a grip , they think you are great . Your marrying Zoey ,' replied Michael, sincerely ,' your suckish golfing skills aren't gonna make a damn bit of difference one way or the other . Lets just go and let them beat the crap out of us , eh '

' Yeah, your right . Thanks' Chase hugged his friend back, ' thanks, man , I needed that . You know I think it's the Louisiana Zoey and all the pomp and stuff its a lot …I'm good . Better now '

Lisa wiped her face off with a towel .' Zoey's family seems very kind . I think you should just get out of my hair and go have fun at the golf course , you two .'

' I think my love of my life is trying to get rid of me , Chase '

Lisa blew him a kiss .' You're a nutcase , Michael '

' I love you too, lil Lisa '

' Don't forget we're doing the romantic dinner at that fancy place tonight,' Michael pulled Lisa closer for another long kiss ,' Look extra hot for me .'

Lisa kissed him back .' I didn't forget . Go '

******************************Wedding Bells *************************

Golfing went as well as could be expected as Mac and Lewis seemed to have a natural ability on the course while Logan was equally impressive with his skills as was Michael both whom had been on the P.C.A. golfing team for a couple of years .

Chase and Vince gave it the old enthusiastic try making it amusing if all else and gave all a better chance to get to become better acquainted with each other as the day went on .

Back at the Brooks home front , Zoey and Amanda worked together making a pattern for her wedding gown and carefully began making a mock up to check for mistakes that needed to be fixed before Zoey would purchase the actual fabric to start sewing it .

At the Cory estate, each of the woman was content doing their own thing until it was time to start getting dressed and prettied up for the evening out with the guys . Rachel had mentioned that Tops was a bit pricey with excellent food, live music , and a bit on the formal side which had immediately sent the young women in a tizzy .

After their showers they all clambered together in Lisa's room to compare the dresses they had all brought along with them . Quinn still wrapped in a short green robe had a red dress and her favorite pink and orange dress on either arms while Lola who was draped in a towel was vetoing everything she had brought along as well .

' These are all wrong ,' dismissed Lola, pushing her wet brown hair off her forehead ,' I mean, they might work alright for Vaccaro's or Pete and Sam's but none of these scream elegant .'

Quinn tossed her dresses on the bed .' Well we hardly have time to run into town to go shopping for new, Lola .'

She twisted Logan's class ring around her finger in a nervous gesture .' The guys will just be wearing suits so that's something . Maybe we should see if Zoey has anything in her closet here we could borrow ? '

Lola examined her favorite short skirt and burgundy top with a frown .' We were being so super lame today . Not to mention the guys have seen us wear these a hundred times before ….'

Lisa stopped brushing her own hair to look at her friends .' Ladies, it isn't that big of a deal . It just so happens that my aunt gave me a bunch of her old evening gowns before I left and I brought them with me . I think they'll be perfect for us '

She opened the closet and pulled out three sparkly short dresses with a flourish .

' Oh,' exclaimed Lola, latching onto short black strapless dress with a gleam in her eye,' this is hot ! I could wear my fake diamonds with it too '

Lisa held up a backless red sequined gown to Quinn .' I think this would look spectacular on you, Quinn , and it wont take a minute to cut out the shoulder pads '

' You are so right , Lisa ,' agreed Quinn, liking the design of the short dress and knowing that Logan would love the sexiness the backless would bring to it as well, ' oh, are you going to wear the pale gold ? That is just amazing and Michael will croak when he sees you in it .'

Lisa felt the silky fabric of the one shouldered pale gold dress , revertly .' Gotta love making my Michael squirm '

Lola held the dress against her with a wicked gleam in her eyes .' They are soo going to want us so bad '

**********************WB*****************************************

Tops was located in the heart of the city amid the old architecture that defined St. Martinsville history , the restaurant was housed at the top of a historical building with a simple gold plaque stating the name . Dressed in their finest , the couples rode the elevator to the top floor and was surprised to find a modern restaurant with a balcony and small stage . A large bar was tucked in the corner of the restaurant while small tables dressed in crisp white linens , soft candles, and flowers set the intimate ambiance of the place . To complete the further feel of intimacy and romance , golden sconces on the walls illuminated the stage and soft music filled the air .

' Wow , they totally glammed this place up since the last time I was here ' admitted an impressed Zoey , laying a hand on the front of Chase's dark blue jacket ,' which was when I was like 13 . '

Chase tugged at his collar and hoped he could afford their dinner .' Cool ,' whispered Chase, putting a hand on the small of her back ,' you look really beautiful, Zoey .'

She was dressed in a strapless dark blue satin dress with lace accents with her honey hair pinned up in a knot with a fancy barrette . Chase looked handsome as well in a dark blue jacket and his adorably bushy hair gelled to perfection .

' I know , Chase, you've told me like three times already '

' You just blow me away , Zo ' expressed Chase , dropping a slow kiss on her mouth as the hostess showed them to their table .

' Aw, Chase, I love you '

Though the group of friends had arrived together , they were seated as couples at separate tables to really bring the romance home and no one minded . Though they enjoyed everyone's company , it felt right to be with just the one they loved tonight here and right now . Rachel and Mac watched them from a corner table as they shared a bottle of the finest champagne with Amanda and Mike toasting young love so true .

At their own table, Logan caressed the smooth skin of Quinn's back then leaned in to kiss her , passionately . Red was his favorite color and he loved it on his girlfriend thinking the vibrant color suited her fiery , passionate nature . It was also a trait they both shared .

' You look so hot , Quinn' Logan brushed a soft fingertip against her cheek ,' I really want you right now, baby .'

Quinn colored and moved her lips over his .' Let's just enjoy us right now, sweetie '

Logan scooted his chair to be closer to put his arms around her .' I'm so gonna buy this dress off of Lisa for you when we get back later '

' That's sweet , Logan, but where on Earth am I suppose to wear sequins to once this vacation is done with ? '

' Even if it's just for me , that is cool ' Logan brought her hand up to kiss her knuckles .

Quinn smile was full of love .' Ooooh '

********************************WB*********************************

' Can't we get out of here , find somewhere private right now , Lisa ? ' whispered Michael , soaking up how fine his own love looked in the short body hugging shimmering pale gold gown with her dark hair all sexy a top of her head ,' like a coat closet ? '

Lisa skimmed a kiss along his jaw .' Michael, no '

' You cant wear a goddess sexy dress like that and not expect me to not want you,' hissed Michael, brushing a hand across her bare shoulder and setting her nerve endings on fire with his touch ,' that's just not playing fair '

Lisa moved her mouth over his expertly , changing the angle of the kiss to deepen it .

' We'll see what happens when the night is over ' teased Lisa as he pulled out the chair for her and making a grumpy noise sat down beside her at their table .

' Maybe we should have just gone to a cool, happening club instead '

' I think this place puts me in a very romantic mood , Michael ' confessed Lisa, quietly .

Michael gulped down water from the glass goblet .' On second thought , a noisy , crowded club really doesn't have the romantic vibe '

Lisa kissed him again .' I knew you'd see it my way '

***************************WB*********************************

' This place is something else ,' marveled Vince , sliding a hand around Lola's waist as he guided her to their table ,' pretty ritzy '

Lola brushed at an errant strand of hair , touched the dangly fake diamonds glittery to her shoulders and caught Vince up in a steamy kiss as she was so in the mood right now .

The short black strapless dress fit all of her curves like a second skin and she recognized the admiration and desire in Vince's eyes when he saw her in it .

' Ritzy, classy, ultra romantic ,' Lola rested her forehead lightly against his ,' wouldn't it be cool if we made like the society papers here , Vince ? '

' Former P.C.A. Graduates Romance and Dine at Tops ,' replied a teasing Vince, tracing her bare shoulder, tenderly ,' Lo, people don't know us down here .'

Lola slapped his hand, playfully .' Oh, indulge me , please ! Let me dream'

' I think you are even more incredibly beautiful tonight ' said Vince, lovingly as he took her mouth in and under in a heated kiss that left them longing for more .

' For you, Vince ,' Lola reached to hold his hand,' always for you '

*************************WB ************************************

With love and romance swirling in the air around the couples , a duo of entertainers came out on the stage and began to serenade them with a love song that spoke to them all .

What would you say if I told you

I've always wanted to hold you

I don't know what we're afraid of

Nothing would change if we made love

Conversation was all forgotten as Chase pulled Zoey into his arms for a dance , tucking her hands close to his heart, and resting his head against her hair . It didn't matter that he was a horrible dancer , they were in love, they were together, and they would soon be married . It was a perfect moment to him .

' Actually I always wondered that for like years ' whispered Chase ,' about us '

Zoey pinked slightly .' I was scared to think that for the longest time , Chase , you know that .'

Chase kissed her easy and warmly .' Honeymoon ? '

Zoey giggled as she returned his kisses .' Hawaii '

Chase waggled his brows at hers .' Only if we charge it to my brand new credit card '

So I'll be your friend

And I'll be your lover

Cause I know in our hearts we agree

We don't have to be one or the other , oh, no, we could be both to each other

Zoey ran a hand through his hair that she had great affection for as the words seemed to call out to her . It had been a journey through friendship to fighting and not understanding her own feelings but the truth had been there between them all along .

Chase had known it way before she had but now she knew with a certainty they were soul mates .

Yes, it's a chance that we're taking

And somebody's heart may be breaking

But we cant stop what's inside us

Our love for each other will guide us

' Zo. Penny for your thoughts ? '

' I think they wrote this song for us ' murmured Zoey, under her breath .

' Cool so we should make it our song ,' decided Chase , excitedly ,' Lisa and Michael could sing it for us . Or it could be like our first song as a married couple , eh ? '

' I am completely madly in love with you, Chase Matthews ' murmured Zoey as he caught her in a dizzying kiss of love that went on forever and ever .

I've been through you

And you've been through me

Sometimes a friend is the hardest to see

We always know when its laid on the line

Nobody else is as easy to find

Wrapped in each others arms, barely moving to the song that spoke the tale of their love , best friends , lovers, soul mates , Chase and Zoey basked in their love and happiness .

'
