"Jaime, it's I THEE wed." Nick was visibly annoyed.

"I BE wed."

"It's NOT I BE WED. You just practiced this yesterday!"

Bobby came up behind Jamie and smacked the back of his head. "You're such an idiot."

Jamie grabbed him in a headlock and started messing with his hair.

Nick lunged at them and tried to pull them apart. "What is wrong with you two?!"

They were still wrestling when there was a small knock at the door. Nick pulled away and straightened his tie as he went to the door and opened it.

When he opened the door, Jess was standing in front of him with a smile on her face. She was wearing a strapless navy blue satin dress with thin silver sash wrapped around and tied at her tiny waist. The skirt of the dress was similar to so many of her others, and it billowed out softly from her waist. Her hair was pulled to the right side in a ponytail at the nape of her neck, which cascaded down over bare shoulder. He stood there speechless for a few moments looking her up and down.

"Nick?"

He shook his head slightly and spoke in a cracked whisper. "You look...You look amazing."

Jess smiled shyly and kissed his cheek. "Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but you left this on the bed." She handed him a sheet of folded yellow paper. He was confused for a split second and then took a deep breath.

"Oh geez. My speech." He took the paper and started to put it in his pocket. "well, if you can even call it that. Did you read it?"

She shook her head. "Do you want me to?" She reached up to straighten his collar and smooth out his tie.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I'll let you revel in my glory later."

She laughed as he grabbed her hands. His expression quickly became serious. "You look really beautiful. Have I seen this before?"

She smiled and shook her head. "Nope. I wanted something special for today. I AM here with the incredibly sexy Best Man".

He just swallowed and stared at her. She shook his hands gently to snap him out of his daze. "You should probably get back in there. It sounds like they might need some sort of referee." She nodded toward the door where loud arguing could be heard inside.

Nick rolled his eyes. "Jamie thinks it's I BE wed." Jess raised her eyebrows. "Don't ask."

The both shook their head and Jess stood on her toes to give him a kiss. "Good luck."

He squeezed her hands and turned toward the door.

"Nick." She started walking backwards and gave him a wink. "I left you a little message on that paper." She gave him a flirtatious glance over her shoulder as she swayed down the corridor.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out his speech. He unfolded it and scanned it until he saw her neat handwriting at the very bottom.

I didn't forget that you won last night.

His eyes shot up from the paper just as she was turning the corner.

Damn. That woman knew how to drive him completely crazy.
