Hey guys, here's today's chapter =D This one is long, so i hope you like it! BTW, this really shows the love Mike and Maryse have for one another :')
Maryse's POV
"Ahh! Today's the wedding!" I screamed at Mike, super duper excited. Mike laughed as I jumped up and down.
"Hahaha! Maryse, settle down!" Mike couldn't help but laugh.
"I can't help it! I come here with you, we have a great time at the engagement, and now I'm going to be a bridesmaid! It's really hectic when you think about it. The girls told me I have to pick up the dresses, because they're all pitching in and doing something. Ahh! I'm just so excited!"
"Maryse, really, calm down!" Mike laughed again at my excitement.
"Mike I love you!" I screamed over and over. We were at his house, early morning. I just couldn't help but be excited. The girls were getting ready to go to the hair salon. I heard some of the girls running down the stairs, then a knock on the door caught both Mike and my attention. "Come in!" I called, and the door opened to show Melissa.
"Hey Maryse, are you ready?" She asked, looking really stressed and panicked.
"Yupp. Why?" I asked, walking over to the door.
"I was wondering if you could possibly take care of Jake's little brothers until 12:00?" She asked desperately.
"Umm, I don't know..."
"Please! It would mean so much! All you have to do, is dress them, feed them, and entertain them. Then one of Jake's groomsmen or one of my bridesmaids will come by to pick them up. Then you can go get your hair done, pick up the dresses and just show up and get dressed, then stand beside/behind me." She gave a hopeful smile.
"Okay. I hope it's as easy as you say..." I said nervously.
Melissa smiled in victory. "Oh, thank you so so so so so much! This means so much to both me and Jake! I can't thank you enough! Now I have to go get ready for the wedding! Ahh!" She screamed, running down the stairs.
I fake smiled and called out "Great..." as she flew down the stairs. I sighed and looked at Mike with a desperate look.
"Oh, no, no, no." He said, shaking his head and hands in front of him. He backed away as I stepped forward.
"Oh, pleeeease! For me." I did the puppy dog face and he scrunched up his face, getting weaker, I could tell. "I'll do whatever you want." He got too tempted right there.
"Oh, fine." He said, giving up.
"Yay! I love you Mike!" I screamed, throwing my arms around his neck in a tight hug.
"I love you too, Maryse." He said back. I smiled, pulling away. I pecked his lips before running down the stairs, but stopped abruptly at the sight of 3 little boys.
"Oh, wow. And what are your names?" I asked them.
"I'm Jack, and I'm 7 years old. This is Johnny, and he's 6. That's James, and he's 4." The oldest, who I guess was named Jack said.
"Mmm, great. I'm Maryse, and I'll be looking after you guys until noon." I said with a smile, trying to stay on their good side. "So, do you guys want to get ready first?" I asked, and they, just, freaked! To say the least!
"You can't tell us what to do!" James screamed, jumping on the couch.
"I don't have to listen to a dumb blonde!" Jack screamed, running away.
"Yeah!" Johnny agreed, jumping up and down.
"Whoa, what just happened?" I screamed, trying to catch Jack. "Please guys! Calm down! Please!" I screamed.
"No!" They all screamed in unison.
"Please!" I kept chasing them for about 30 minutes before finally stopping and catching my breath. "Hey, how about some breakfast?" I asked, and they immediatly stopped, and sat down at the table. "Okay, so do you guys want some cereal?" I asked, taking out 3 bowls and filling them up with cereal. I laid it in front of the bows, and they smirked evilly. My eyes grew wide and I gasped as they threw it all on my. I screamed as the milk and bits of corn flakes stuck in my platinum hair.
They boys ran about again, and Mike ran downstairs. "What the hell is going on down here?" He demanded, taking me into his arms, even in the mess I was in. Aww.
"Mike...!" I said, my mouth still hanging open in shock. "These kids are monsters!" I screamed.
"Calm down, it's okay, I'm here." He comforted.
"No, Mike, it's not!" I said, on the verge of tears.
"Maryse, I'll try my best to take care of this." He said, pulling away to hold my shoulders and look into my eyes. "Until then, you can go take a shower, and try to relax. You don't need this stress, okay?" He assured. I shook my head,hugging him again before I rushed upstairs into Mike's room, locking the door. I rushed into the washroom, stripping down and immediately washing myself off. I didn't want to take more than 15 minutes, because I need the other 15 to straighten and add some dry conditioner. I was trying my best to hurry, I don't want Mike to have to deal with those rascals for too long, he doesn't deserve the agony.
I rushed downstairs to see Mike easily helping the boys put on their suits for the wedding. My mouth hung loose and my eyebrows scrunched as I walked over to a smiling Mike. I was speechless, pointing to him, then the boys, then back to him. He laughed, shaking his head.
"Maryse, it was really easy. I guess their just at that little boy fase where they think all girls can give are cooties. They just, listened!" Mike smiled, shaking his head.
"Eww, it's the dumb blonde!" Jack screamed, running away.
I rolled my eyes as my phone ringed. "What? !" I answered, watching as Johnny knowcked over a vase.
"Maryse, what the hell is going on?" Kelly's voice demanded.
"Oh, hey Kellz, umm, this isn't the best time right now... You should've picked up when I called! No, just kidding, but- Hey! Put that down! Sorry, I really have to go. Talk to Mike! Bye! Love you!" I threw the phone to Mike, and rushed after Johnny who had taken a picture of Mike and his mother off the wall.
I was getting frustrated, too frustrated. I was getting so frustrated to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore. "STOP!" I screamed, filled with rage. The kids stopped running around. They must have been scared to death. I glared at the boys, as clapping sounded behind me.
"Well done." The maid of honour, Sarah, said with a smile spread wide across her face. She walked over, pinching James' cheek. "You definetly deserve the 25 dollars I promised each of you." She said and handed each boy their money. I watching in shock, wanting to push her against the wall and keep hitting her head back at it. Sarah turned to me, with a smirk on her face. "If I were you, I'd be going to the hair saloon now, You're already 5 minutes late, and they're only open for another hour." She warned, walking out with the boys.
"What the hell just happened?" I asked Mike, who hung up the cell and handed it to me.
"I don't know. Don't let her get to you. Whatever she does, it's because of me. She's one of those crazy ex's who think they're still with you, you know?" He asked, leaning against the kitchen counter.
"What...?" I asked, eyebrows raised. "You never told me she was your ex! No wonder she's trying to kill me today! Now, I really have to go! By Mike, love you!" I said, grabbing my purse. As I began running out the door, Mike took my arm, turning me back around.
"Maryse, do you want me to come with you?" He asked.
I shook my head. "What? No! I've already put you through way too much. Just go to the reception, I'll be there in a few." I called, rushing to get a taxi. I heard Mike call my name, then tsk. I laughed.
I reached the salon just in time, and got my hair done in 30 minutes. They asked me if I would pay extra for a mani-pedi. I decided to take it, seeing as I wanted to look amazing at the wedding, but not as much as the bride. They also gave ma a facial, and it all took only 30 minutes, which left me just enough time to go get the dresses.
I literally, ran to the place. I walked in, taking deep breaths to calm myself as I went to the front desk.
"I'm here to pick up the dresses for the wedding taking part at St. Joseph's church." I said, showing them a receipt Melissa had given me.
"I'm sorry Miss, but those were already picked up." The receptionist replied.
"What? That's impossible!"
"Sorry, but you're holding up the line. NEXT!"
I gasped, stepping aside. I was on the verge of tear as I took out my phone and rang Mike's number.
"Maryse! Where are you?" He asked.
"Mike-" I said before I sobbed and let the tears take control.
"Oh no, where are you? I'm coming to get you." He said seriously.
"No, you're not. I-I'm not go-going." I gasped out, sniffling.
"What? But Maryse-"
"No, 'But Maryse', I can't go. I ruined the wedding. Sarah gets what she wants."
"Maryse, please explain."
"The dresses aren't here!" I said into the phone. There was a big lump in my throat as I gasped for breath.
"Maryse..." Mike was speechless. "Here, Melissa really wants to talk to you. Bye Maryse, love you." He said before he handed the phone over to Melissa.
"Maryse, where are you? I can't have Mike here alone!" She said worriedly.
"Melissa, I can't go. I'm so sorry, but the dresses-"
"The dresses?" She asked, confused.
Now I was confused. "Yes, the dresses. They aren't here!"
"Of course not, silly! You gave them over to Sarah to bring! She already brought them. Did you forget or something? Now come on, we need you!" She said, and I stood shocked and speechless.
"Whoa, what? I never gave them to Sarah, in fact, I was at the hair salon, trying to get ready when she said it would be closing soon. And she paid the little boys to be naughty!" I said, outraged at what horrible things Sarah has done.
"What? Maryse, come here and we'll sort this all out. Mike is on his way right now."
"Okay, thank you so much!" I said with a sigh, wiping away my tears and re-applying my mascara.
I heard Mike honk and I smiled, rushing outside to the passenger's seat. I got seated and pecked his lips. "Hey, sorry you had to go through so much today." I said, putting on my seat belt as Mike sped off.
"Me? No, you went through a lot. Almost as much as the bride!" He joked.
I giggled. "Thanks Mike, I really needed something to cheer me up."
"Anytime Maryse." He said with a smile.
He parked the car and we both ran out of the car, entering the church. I ran into the brides room where all the girls were getting ready.
"Maryse! I though you wouldn't come." Melissa joked, giving me a big hug. She and the rest of the girls were putting on their dresses. No sign on Sarah. I inched to the doorway with my dress, about to go across the hall to the washroom, until I saw Mike and Sarah in the hallway. I know I can trust Mike, but there's no way I can trust Sarah. So I stood there, listening in on their conversation.
"So since Maryse isn't here, I think you need a escort." She said flirtatiously. I could tell Mike was raising his brows.
"No, no. I don't think so." He said, rejecting her.
"Well I know so." She said. I watched as she leaned in. Mike stepped back, pushing her off.
"What the hell! Sarah, leave me, and my beautiful girlfriend Maryse alone." I smiled as he stuck up for us.
"I'm double the woman she'll ever be!" Sarah screamed.
"And she's double the beauty you'll ever be." If there was an audience, they'd be like, 'Ohhh!' because he was winning. "Inside, and out!" He screamed at her. 'Ding, ding, ding!' I smirked as he walked past her and into the grooms room. I came out of my hiding place with a satisfying smile as I walked into the changing room and dressed into my beautiful dress.
As soon as the reception started, the bridesmaids were being escorted down the aisle. As I took hold of Mike's arm, he whispered, "You look beautiful."
I giggled a bit, whispering back, "And you look very handsome." before we parted ways. Then Melissa came. She caught everyone's eyes. He long train made the girls in the crowd jealous, and her hair was done just right, and she just looked so fabulous. I smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up. That's exactly how I picture myself when I get married.
I looked over at Mike and I saw him smiling wide at Melissa. Aww, that's so cute! I stood behind Melissa as she and Jake said their "I Do's" and all of the bridesmaids took out rose petals from the flower girls basket and we threw it at them as we walked behind them outside, where we would celebrate.
Music started playing, and everyone was grabbing a partner for a slow dance. I immediately ran to Mike, and he smirked. He took me to the center of the dance floor, beside the bride and groom. It was so romantic as stars shown in the sky, and the light hitting the right spots on the dance floor, making both Mike and my eyes glow as we looked into eachother's eyes. Cheesy, but so true.
"Mike, thank you." I said, with tears about to come down my face again.
"For what?" He asked.
"For everything." I said, and I laid my head on his shoulder as we kept dancing. His head went on my head and I sighed. Words could not express how much love I felt at the moment.
"I love you Maryse." He said into my hair.
"I love you so much more Mike." I said, letting the tears of joy come out.
"This'll sound cheesy, but it's the truth. Maryse, my love for you is as big as the universe." He said and I laughed.
"Thanks, Mike."
"My pleasure."
Okay, it was a little awkward, seeing as there were so many people around us, but I kissed him. Like, made out in front of everybody. But who cares? I love him, and that's all that matters. I could tell his mom was probably smiling at us, but I kept kissing him, which he of course returned.
Later that night, the newly wedded couple and Mike and I sat at their house. We were laughing at one another, so happy at the happiness the other couple had. We were sitting in the living room, just talking about life.
"So when well you two tie the knot and have babies?" I asked with a wink. They both blushed.
"Oh, that won't be for a while." Melissa said, hiding her face in embarrassment. Well, of course she'd be embarrassed, her brother was right there.
"At least 3 months." Jake added in.
"Okay, fair enough." I teased.
"And when will you guys be getting married?" Melissa teased back, now it was our turn to blush.
"We just met this month, that is way to fast for me." I said, taking hold of Mike's arm. "Although I love him a lot."
"Yeah, I agree with Maryse. There is no way either of us will be getting married anytime soon. That would mean settling down, and I love traveling around the world with Maryse." Mike explained.
"Okay, I understand. Even though I would love to see Maryse in the brides dress and me in the bridesmaid, that is of course, if I'd be one." Melissa joked.
"Of course! How can I not have Mike's sister be a bridesmaid?" I asked, with a look that said 'Did You Even Need To Ask?'
"Thanks Maryse!" She said and sarcastically glared at Mike with a smile.
"Hey!" Mike said, offended.
I giggled, patting his back. "Well I think we should get going. Tomorrow Mike and I have to catch our flight to Brazil." I said as we all got up and Mike and I headed to the door. "It was really awesome meeting you Melissa, and such an honour to be one of your bridesmaids!" I thanked, and she shook her head.
"Of course Maryse! I hope we get to see you soon!" She said as Mike and I waved and called goodbyes.
We got into Mike's car and started to head to his house.
"When do you think you'll be a groom?" I asked him at random.
"Whenever me and you are both ready for marriage." He answered simply.
I rolled my eyes. "And when will that be?"
"Well, I don't know. It'll be up to us when we would." He said, and I giggled.
"Okay then." I looked out the window as we zoomed past everything. "Hey, since we're here, why don't we visit Trinity tomorrow morning? Make a quick visit? I miss her."
"Sure, I don't mind." Mike said with a smile. I giggled and kissed his cheek.
Once we had got to Mike's house, we didn't even bother changing or eating. We were full from the food given at the wedding. We just marched upstairs and jumped into bed. I snuggled up to him, sighing. "This was a hectic day." I said tiredly.
"No kidding. But we got through it, and in the end, it was all worth it." Mike said back.
"Yes, it was." I said before drifting off.
Wasn't that cute? Lol, JK, but I was really trying to bring some more love between them. I hope you guys like it! Review! And this was longer than the usual =P
