To Love you more
By: Kary G.
Chapter 3
A/N: This chapter is my favorite…you'll see why and the song that I used in this chapter is called "To Love You More" by Celine Dion (I don't own the song or the characters in this story)
5:50 p.m.
Sydney looked for the tenth time in the mirror. Her hair was down and soft curls decorated her back. Her dress was strapless and black showing her back and her tones arms. The dress wasn't that long. The dress was below her knees and a small diamond that drew attention to her small breasts. She wore a pair of silver heels not too big. Her ears had a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. Her wrist had a diamond bracelet. She was beautiful. Her make up was simple just some powder and a soft blush and her lips had a soft pale pink.
She walked to the living room and sat in the sofa waiting for Gage. Her mind drifted to what Dahlia told her. "Why are you marrying her Gage? Why?" she thought but soon her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. She hurried to the door and opened it up and there he was. Gage looked good, his black tuxedo accentuated his big chest, and he looked handsome.
"Syd, you look beautiful," he told her. And he wasn't mistaken, she was beautiful.
"Thank you, you look good too," she said.
"Thank you. Let's go," he waited for her to stepped out of her apartment, he followed her and saw her locked the door. In those few seconds that she began to lock the door of her apartment, he looked at her back and then her hair. He wanted to touch her, he needed to touch her. Sydney turned around bringing Gage back to reality. Gage opened the door of his car for Sydney and once he saw that she was comfortable he closed it and ran to his side and put the car in gear.

The reception was beautiful. It wasn't small but humongous, the lighting was a soft blue, It felt like winter season. The tables were decorated by white cloths of silk and what made the table more special was the center piece of white flowers inside a big vase, besides flower a few crystals dance in the water that the vases had and around the big vase, small and white candles provided a little bit of light. The cake was a medium size and was plain white with a few dots. It looked like diamonds were inserted in the cake.
The couple moved to the center of the room and danced a soft melody. The bride rested her forehead on his now-husband's shoulder. They were so happy, the smiles on both of them were contagious and Sydney couldn't help but smile.
An hour passed and almost everybody in the room was dancing. Gage stood up and stretched his hand to her. "Shall we dance?" she didn't say a word and placed her hand on his. When his fingers closed around hers both felt a jolt of electricity running through their bodies. The song had finished and now the people went to their seats. Everybody was in fact in their seats. There was only the bride, groom and Gage with his partner in the dace floor.
Gage placed his hand on her waist and the other hand laced with her hand. Sydney held a hand on his shoulder and waited for the music to start. A violin began to sound and both rangers moved to the rhythm of the song.
Take me back into arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more
Don't go you know you will break my heart
She won't love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still
It looked like the song was made to Syd and Gage. Sydney tried to concentrate on other things in the room but her gaze went back to Gage's blue eyes.
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more
Sydney wanted to kiss him and to feel his lips against her. She wondered if he could see what she was feeling by just staring at those blue eyes.
See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more
The lyrics of the song were powerful and also the truth. "Let me be the one to love you more" Sydney's eyes screamed those words to him. But, could he really read her eyes? Sydney tried to get out of Gage's arms. The desperation in her eyes was evident; she tried to get away from him but Gage's hand pulled her close to him.
And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we'll find a way
Sydney felt his hands tighter around her waist. He wasn't going to let her go, she knew it. She looked at him and saw the love in his eyes. Was that love in his eyes? No way. He couldn't love her because he had Dahlia.
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more
They kept dancing. Sydney became nervous when Gage moved his face closed to hers, she could feel his hot breath against her face that said lots of things. Gage forgot about Dahlia and kissed Sydney just as the song ended with a striking note. But, didn't he love Dahlia?
**After the wedding**
The ride was quiet. Nor Sydney or Gage said a word. Both rangers had thoughts of their own. When Gage parked, Sydney jumped out of the car.
"Sydney," called her. Not 'Syd' but Sydney. She stopped and looked at him.
"Gage, that kiss was a mistake," and with that Sydney turned around and ran to her apartment not giving Gage a chance to talk. She opened the door and slammed it with all her power. She leaned on the door and let her body slid down the floor. Bittersweet tears ran down her face. She loved him so much but he wasn't alone. She rocked back and forth, her heart aching. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore and fell asleep in the floor still wearing the black dress.
