Chapter 13 - The Wedding - Part 2The wedding ceremony was short and sweet, pretty much like the first wedding only this time it was legitimate. Karma wore a gorgeous Vera Wang dress. After the ceremony every one headed off to the reception, which was being held near the lake at a marquee. Karma had spared no expense in making sure everything looked perfect. The lake edge was lined with fairy lights along with the dance floor. Each table had an elaborate centrepiece along with a gift bag filled with bits and pieces which included Karmas first album. As Taylor walked into the reception with Tommy and Jude she rolled her eyes at how cliché the whole thing looked. There was no doubt about this wedding had Karma written all over it since the beginning. As the three took there seats they watched the happy couple enter Taylor couldn't help but notice how down Speed seemed for his own wedding, she figured it was nerves which was weird considering he was a rock star who had played in front of bigger crowds than this."So anyone found out why the wedding started so late", a bored Taylor asked to no one in particular."Apparently Karma's hair fell slightly out of place so in true diva style made everyone wait while she got it fixed""why does that not surprise me" sighed TaylorTaylor looked over in Tommy's direction hoping he might have something to add but he kept his focus on Speed and Karma who were having their first dance as bride and groom. Tommy had been fairly quite since he and Jude had picked Taylor up that afternoon. Taylor new that there was something on his mind and was almost certain that it had to do with her. As much as she wanted to push him to find out what was wrong she opted not to, it was the smart choice. Their relationship was still fragile and she wasn't going to do anything to destroy it.After Karma and Speed had there first dance dinner was served. Taylor and Tommy managed to keep conversation flowing through the meal but avoided any serious topics and mainly talked about work. After the table was cleared Tommy, Jude and Taylor all sat in silence as the dreaded awkward silence filed the air once again. Jude was trying to think of something to talk about when she felt Tommy lightly squeeze her hand knowing that was her signal to step in."Well Mr Quincy would you care to have this next dance with me" Jude asked while standing up and offering Tommy her hand."I certainly would Miss Harrison"As Tommy and Jude walked over to the dance floor Taylor let out a sigh of relief. She began to relax now that she wasn't worrying about what to talk about with her brother. As she watched Tommy and Jude dance she could help but smile at how happy they looked together. Taylor was so busy watching Tommy and Jude dance that she didn't even notice Speed walk up behind her."So are you going to sit there all night or are you going to dance with me""Speed you scared me!" a startled Taylor responded."Sorry I didn't mean to I just wanted to see if you wanted to dance""No it's ok I would love to dance"As Taylor took Speed's hands she noticed that for the first time all night he looked relaxed and happy. The moment they reached the dance floor the band started to play a slow Ballard, which was suited to couples as a slow dance. As Taylor and Speed got in to waltz position she kept a three feet distance as she didn't want to make Speed feel awkward. But Speed wasn't awkward at all quite the opposite. He noticed Taylor's hesitation and pulled her in to him so they were so close that there bodies were touching. Their eyes connecting the whole time."So where is Mrs Spiederman I haven't seen her about in a while""Well she is busy chatting up the industry guys and posing for the paparazzi""Wow she is a busy woman""Yeah so busy that she doesn't even care that today is our Wedding Day""I'm sure she cares" Taylor trying her best to sound convincing."You know sometimes I wish she was more like you""Trust me you don't want her to be like me""Why not your funny, love music and not so wrap up in yourself that you forget about everyone that matters.""Speed you don't even know me there are things I've done that I'm not proud of. Compared to me Karma and looks like mother Teresa" a annoyed and agitated Taylor retorted leaving speed reeling at how fast her mood had changed."Hey calm down it's ok" " No it's not ok, you should go find Karma she is probably looking for you"Before had a Speed to reply Taylor separated herself from him."I'm really sorry but I have to go have a good honeymoon"Once again Taylor didn't give Speed a chance to reply a she practically ran back to her table. Leaving a confused and worried Speed standing by himself in the middle of the dance floor. But what Speed and Taylor weren't aware of was that Karma had watched the whole thing play out. While she couldn't hear what they said she could see their body language and immediately recognised the look of lust in Taylor's eyes.As Taylor made he way back to the table she had to fight the urge to turn around and go back. Tommy was sitting at the table as Taylor made her way back Jude had gone to talk to Sadie who had just arrived and Kwest was talking with Jamie about his new contract with NVR. Tommy looked up just in time to see Taylor walk up to the table she didn't have to say anything he could tell she was upset."Tommy can we go now please""Umm yeah sure of course just let me go find Jude and I'll meet you at the car""Ok""Taylor is everything ok""No it isn't"A with those words Taylor continued to make her way to the car park. Once she was in the car park she let the tears she had been fighting back escape. For the first time in months she had thought about her past and what she saw was horrible.
