Chapter 10: Wedding Day

Maya sat on a bench outside of the chapel wiping her eyes. She hadn't even realized how emotionally invested in this stupid relationship she was. She'd told herself over and over again not to get to this point. And now she was stuck in Florida, dumped. It was pathetic.

"Hi," Fulton said walking over. She looked at him. "I can't believe you're staying." She looked at him.

"They don't deserve a free pass," She said, sniffing. He laughed.

"You look really beautiful," He said softly.

"Nah," She shook her head, "I look skanky. I wouldn't dress this way normally for a wedding, but you know, I was here to prove a point." She laughed. "I don't why I went along with this. I'm like the poster girl for low self esteem."

"Hi, we're getting ready to start so," Julie came bouncing out, "Maya, hi, you stayed."

"She's here with me," Fulton said, "Is that a problem Jules?"

"No problem." She said, "Um, why don't you two go find seats." She rolled her eyes.

"Mommy!" Eric ran over and Connie picked him up.

"Hey baby," She said, "Look at you all dressed up, you look so handsome."

"We got you a present," He said and handed her a silk flower attached to a hairclip, "In Japan."

"It's perfect," She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She smiled at Guy. "You go with Daddy and sit down. I love you."

"I love you too," Eric said, "After we go see fireworks?"

"Absolutely," She said. "Go with Daddy OK?" She handed him to Guy. "Thank you." She whispered.

"I love you," He smiled and kissed her.

"Ready?" Aimee stepped forward.

"Aunt Aimee you're a princess!" Eric said. Aimee laughed.

"That was the idea," Sherry said, handing her the bouquet. "Congratulations love."

"Thanks Sher," Aimee hugged her.

"The hugging is nice and everything," Julie said after pushing Guy and Eric into the chapel, "But we are on a schedule."

"Aunt Julie silly," Eric giggled.

"Yeah," Guy nodded, "She is silly." The wedding march started and Julie cued everyone walking down the aisle. She smiled and hugged herself.

"Good work Cat," She said quietly and watched her masterpiece unfold.

"Sherry," Adam said, grabbing her as they walked into the reception room. "Can I talk to you for a second."

"Of course," She smiled. "But it can really only be for a second, because," He cut her off by pulling her into him and kissing her.

"I love you," He whispered, "I think I always have, and I think you love me too." He kissed her again.

"Adam," She mumbled, "Adam stop, we can't."

"Tell me you don't want me," He whispered, "And I'll stop." She sighed quietly.

"I don't want you," She whimpered as he moved down to her neck, he stopped and pulled back. "Not like this," She said softly, "I love you, so much, but it's been so long, who knows anymore? And you live in New York, which is a million years away from everything I know, not to mention I'm still with Derek."

"But you love me," He whispered and kissed her again. "And you've never been happy with him. End it Sherry, I can give you everything,"

"I can't," She sighed, "I can't risk my whole world Adam. I'm always going to love you, but it can't happen."

"Fine," He whispered. She swallowed and watched him walk away. She took a deep breath and headed into the ballroom.

"How long?" Derek stared at her coldly.

"What are you talking about?" She said.

"How long have you been sleeping with Adam Banks?" He sighed. She groaned and walked past him. "Sherry, I'm not screwing around here."

"Of course you are!" Sherry snapped, "Do you think I don't know what you do Derek?" He stared at her. "Do you think I don't see the way you treat every new girl at work, or every cute waitress at a bar or restaurant? Do you think I don't notice when you come in at 4 AM, smelling like sweat and cigarettes? You have no right to accuse me of anything when I've put up with everything for three years!"

"Yeah," He nodded, "Maybe I've screwed around a few times, but I've never been in love with someone else."

"Except Aimee," She spit out. She noticed his eyes narrow and his nostrils flare. "I'm not an idiot, I just chose to ignore certain things."

"It's over," He said, she nodded, "Fine. Tell Aimee congratulations for me." He walked away. She closed her eyes and walked inside, wiping the tears away. And what was worse was she knew she wasn't crying for Derek.

"Hey," Portman walked over to the kitchen and kissed Julie. "What if me and you go upstairs?"

"Mm," She whimpered, her body melting into his. "I can't," He sighed, "Not until after dinner goes out, then I promise, I'm all yours." He kissed her again.

"Jules," He whispered, "Come on baby." He kissed her, "I'll be quick I promise." She laughed.

"Stop distracting me," She pushed him away. "I have big plans for us tonight, I promise."

"I like the sound of that," He laughed. "This really is unbelievable, even for you." She smiled. He kissed her gently.

"I know," She smiled. "I have to go though. I love you."

"I love you too," He said, "One dance, please?"

"God, you're a pain in my ass," She laughed.

Layla rolled onto her back in her and Charlie's hotel bed. They both lay separated and quiet for a minute catching their collective breath.

"We should probably get to the reception," Charlie spoke first. She rolled onto her side.

"Do you want to marry me?" She asked. He raised his eyebrows.

"I would love to marry you," He rolled over and looked at her, "But you've kinda made it clear you're not into that." She nodded. "Why? Got an impulse to fly off to Vegas?"

"I was thinking book a cruise actually," She mumbled.

"You've still got a year of college to go," He whispered. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," She whispered and kissed him softly.

"What about your brothers?" He asked, "Your cousins?"

"The Ducks? Your mom?" She shrugged. "This is about us, just us." They kissed again. "I love you."

"This is crazy," He said. She giggled, "I guess four years with you I should be used to it, huh?"

"You betcha," She giggled and pecked him on the cheek. "Come on lets go dance. We'll elope in the morning." He laughed.

"Are you happy?" Luis asked Aimee softly as they danced and he held her close.

"I'm ecstatic," She smiled and kissed him. "I can't stand up anymore." She whispered. He looked at her. "Are you ready to make this official?" She bit her lower lip.

"You bet your pretty little red head I am," He smiled walking away pulling her by the hand. She stopped and kissed him. "You can't tease me like that Aims, you just promised me wedding night sex."

"You, my unbelievably wonderful husband, are getting wedding night sex," She kissed him. "Do you want a peek at what I've got in store with you?"

"I think a peek would do me in," He smiled. "Honeymoon suite?" She kissed him

"Honeymoon suite," She smiled. They giggled and ran out.

"Adam?" Sherry walked over to him. He was standing leaning against the bar. He looked at her. "I um, I love you too."

"You mentioned that," He took a sip of his drink. "Where'd Derek go?"

"He left," She sighed, "Its over." He nodded. "Where's Mel?"

"She left," He looked at her. "It's over." She nodded. "So, what does this mean?" She kissed him.

"It means that this is going to happen," She whispered, "Unless you've changed your mind in the past hour."

"Is it really over?" He asked.

"It was over the day I met you," She whispered. "I've just been too scared." They kissed.

"You'll move to New York?" He asked.

"Let's just move to your hotel room for now," She giggled.
