Chapter 15 Somebody To Love
Mary hit the off button on her alarm clock and got out of bed. She walked out of her room and into the bathroom. She turned the hot water on in the shower and felt relived as it hit her body.
She soon stepped out and dried herself off. She combed through her hair and wrapped the turquoise towel around her body. She opened the door to find Joey walking towards it. "You look hot in a towel."
Mary smirked at the comment. "Thanks…I think."
"Ya know, I've never seen you in a bathing suit."
"Well would you like me to walk around in the house with one on?" Mary sarcastically asked as she let a little laugh out from her lips.
"We're going to go to the beach tomorrow." Joey nodded at his own decision and Mary just laughed.
"Ok." She softly agreed, walking past him and into her room. She liked the fact that Joey was living here. And in a month Brit and Bree were buying their own apartment. They wanted to be right next to their college. Then Mary and Joey would have the house all to themselves.
Mary quickly blow-dried her hair, before throwing on a pair of denim capris and a turquoise strapless shirt. She slid on a turquoise open toe wedge. She grabbed her purse and put on a 'touch' of make-up. She then went downstairs to, amazingly find Brit and Bree ready to go. She followed them out the door and into the car.
Mary pulled out of the driveway and soon pulled into Tami's driveway. Tami and Dustin both walked towards the car, studying it on the way over. Tami got in the front, while Dustin slid in the back with the twins. "Where'd this car come from?"
"It's new! Joey surprised me with it last night. Isn't he amazing?" Mary replied forming a smile form ear to ear.
"Dustin where's my car?" Tami teased, turning her head to look at him.
"I told you I'd buy you one, but you're too attached to 'The Great Orange'."
"It's 'The Great Pumpkin,' not orange."
Mary laughed at the conversation, before pulling into the lot. They all got out and walked into the shop. The manager of the place greeted them. "Hello, may I help you?"
"I was here yesterday looking for wedding dresses. Claudia is my planner, and she told me to come back today to decide."
"Oh ok. You may have a seat, she'll be with you in five minutes." The manager sweetly smiled.
"Ok, thank you."
"Hello! Have you decided what dress you want?" Claudia asked, as the five of them stood up and followed her to their room.
"Um…I'm not sure yet. It's between dress two and four."
"Ok." Claudia narrowed her eyes. "Let's try those two on again."
Claudia led Mary into the dressing room and helped her into dress two (A sweetheart gown has simple straps and delicately placed crystal and beads on an asymmetrical pleated bodice. The back of the a-line pick up skirt is detailed with candied buttons, which start at the bodice and line the chapel). They then walked out and everyone smiled. "I think this is the one."
"Yeah I like this one the best." Brit said, glancing up at Mary's face.
They quickly tried on dress four and realized dress two was the one. They put dress two on again and tears worked their way in. "Joey is going to pass out when he sees you."
"Ok, go change and we'll talk about a place and date."
"So have you thought about when you want the wedding?"
"Well My Joey said, he wanted it really soon, like august." Mary bit her lower lip, thinking deeply about a date.
"Ok well let's pick out a place."
"I think I want it on the beach." Mary smiled, imaging the thought in her mind.
"Ok, on Los Angeles beach, there is a spot where they have this raised little hut that is on the beach, but not on the sand."
"Yeah, that's exactly what I want. What dates are available for Saturdays?" Mary questioned.
"The only days for Saturday are the first and fifteenth."
"Hold on let me call Joey." She grabbed her cell phone out of her bag and dialed his number.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's Mary. The dates available for the wedding in Los Angeles on the beach are the first and eight. What do you want?" Mary asked.
"The first." Joey didn't hesitate for a second.
"Ok. See you in a little while. Bye love you."
"Love you too. Bye."
"Ok, the first." Mary took a deep breath in, realizing that is in exactly thirty days. Making that conclusion, she realized it was the Fourth of July today.
"Ok you're set today. Let's talk decorations, music, flowers and accessories Monday at eleven."
"Sounds good." Mary agreed.
Mary dropped Tami and Dustin off, before driving her and the twins' home. "We're home!"
"I'm in the kitchen!" Joey called out.
Mary's wedge clicked against the floor and soon on the tiles of the kitchen. "Are you cooking?"
"I just happen to be a good cook."
"Really?" Mary asked rhetorically, putting her bag on the counter.
"And you just happen to look amazing today."
"Well, now that I'm out of prison, I can dress the way I want." She grinned, staring at Joey.
"Well, you look absolutely gorgeous today."
"Thanks. So, what are you making?"
"My specialty; grilled cheese." Joey exaggerated, smirking at his comment.
"Wow!" Mary sarcastically said, placing two plates, cup and napkins on the table. "Don't make for the twins, they're going to out."
"Ok, well we'll just have extra, because they're done." He placed a grilled cheese sandwich in each plate and sat down across from Mary. "So, since we're getting married, there are a few things we need to discuss."
"Like what?"
"Well, if we want to have children." Each word slowly came out.
Mary paused for a moment. "Do you want children?"
"Yeah, I do actually." The conversation seemed awkward, but the two were too into thought, they didn't realize.
"Well good, because I want children too."
I know it's kind of short, but I wanted to update before I went on vacation. I'm going Sunday and today is my sister's high school graduation. I won't have time to update again, until July 6th of 7th. Around there anyway. We do have out two winners. Twilightlover13 and Ember411 are the winners. They both guessed 14 and that's my age. The people who said I was seventeen or eighteen really made me smile, because that means my writing is mature. Well congratulations to the winners, I promise to read your stories and review after vacation. REVIEW!
