Chapter 9- Surprise Guest

It was the morning of Sam and Zain's wedding. She stayed at their house the night before and Zain was over at Mickey's. Sam's alarm clock rung at about 8o'clock and she went downstairs and Catherine and Jo already in the kitchen, 'morning,' Sam said as she unsuccessfully tried to stifle a yawn.

'How are you feeling?' Jo asked.

'Hungover,' Sam replied.

Jo went over to the cupboard and found the aspirin. That should make it better,' she said as handed Sam the aspirin.

Sam smiled at Jo as she took one of the aspirin and washed it down with a glass of water. 'You ready for breakfast?' Catherine asked.

Sam nodded as Catherine put the kettle on. 45minutes later, Sam finished her breakfast, 'come on, let's start getting you ready,' Jo said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zain too had just finished his breakfast and he got into the shower. He couldn't believe that today had finally arrived and by the end of it, Sam was going to be his wife. Zain was absolutely positive he was doing the right thing and now, he had no doubts about marrying Sam. Half an hour later, he got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his lower body. Mickey knocked on the bathroom door, Zain unlocked it and the door opened, 'you alright mate?' Mickey asked.

Zain nodded, 'hows the speech?' he replied.

'It's fine Zain, don't worry,'

'Good, thanks for doing this Mickey,'

'No worries mate,'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil woke up at about 9 that morning. He sighed to himself as he remembered what the day was: he was going to lose Sam for good today and he knew it. Phil had no idea of what he could do or say that would persuade Sam not to go through with it. He'd already tried to talk her out of it but it hadn't worked.

Then an idea came to him, Phil decided to get dressed and go to the wedding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam was on the sofa in her living room while Catherine and Jo painted her nails. 'There's still time to back out Sam,' Jo joked.

Sam looked up at her, 'I'm not backing out Jo, I love Zain and by the end of today, I'll be his wife,' she said.

'I was only joking Sam,' Jo replied.

'That's fine then,'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, Zain and Mickey were at the hotel where the wedding and the reception were being held. They walked upstairs and saw all the guests, 'you nervous yet mate?' Mickey asked.

'I wasn't until I got here; it just seems so real,' Zain replied.

The registrar rang a bell and everyone fell silent, 'if you'd all like to make your way inside, the wedding ceremony will commence in 10minutes,' she said.

The chattering started again as people began to file into the hotel suite.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About 10minutes later, Sam, Catherine and Jo pulled up outside the hotel and Jack was stood outside. He'd agreed to give Sam away. Sam got out of the car with Catherine and Jo trailing behind and she walked over to Jack. 'You look lovely Sam,' he commented.

Sam smiled at him as they all entered the hotel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil was in a cab on his way to the hotel but it was stuck in traffic, 'can you find another route?' Phil asked.

The cab driver shook his head, 'it's the only way mate,' he said.

Phil sighed to himself and undone his seatbelt. He opened the cab door and jumped out. Phil ran off in the direction of the hotel. 'Oi, you haven't paid your bloody fare…you moron!' the cab driver shouted after him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Will you please be upstanding for the entrance of the bride,' the registrar said as she entered the suite.

Everyone stood up and watched as Sam entered the suite with Jack and Catherine and Jo not far behind. Zain turned around and exchanged smiles with his wife-to-be. They got to the end of the aisle and Jack gently squeezed Sam's arm before handing her over to Zain and taking his seat in the congregation. 'We are here today to witness the joining in marriage of Zain and Samantha. After today they will spend the rest of their lives together,' the registrar started.

Sam turned to Zain and smiled at him. He smiled back at her, 'do you have the rings?' the registrar asked, turning to Mickey.

Mickey nodded as he took two rings out of his pocket. 'I now ask Zain and Samantha to take each others hands-' Zain took Sam's hands in his. '-and publicly declare their vows in your presence, their closest friends and family,' the registrar continued.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil came through the hotel doors, he looked around. He knew that the wedding had already started and went over to the receptionist. Phil knew where the ceremony was being held, he just didn't know where it was. 'Can I help you?' the receptionist asked.

'Yeah, can you tell me where the Humber suite is?' Phil replied.

'Yeah it's up the stairs, second door on your left,'

Phil thanked the receptionist and walked towards the stairs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Before Zain and Samantha make their vows, I must ask if there's any lawful impediment which justifies a reason as to why these two people may be joined in marriage. If anyone knows of such a reason, then they should declare it now,' the registrar said.

At that moment, Phil entered the suite. He walked to the top of the aisle, Sam turned around and looked at Phil, worried about what he was going to do…

Ooooh! CLIFFHANGER!!!! What's Phil gonna do, will he say anything? You know there only one way to find out. 45reviews before I post the nxt chapter luv ya all Gemz xx
