Chapter One
July 19th 2014
Swaying slowly back and forth accross the dance floor, he leant into her lips and kissed her gently. "Its been a long time coming Moss.. but we have finaly done it.. I got you down tht aisle". She leant up and into his lips "Dale Smith.. you are the most amazing man I have ever met". He glanced round the room and she moved further in to his body. "Your Dad doesnt look happy" he stated and she laughed "Did you expect him too?" she asked and he shook his head "I dont care... you are all I care about Stevie Smith". The couple had begun a physical relationship a little over a year ago and had both been swept up in a whirlwind romance that quickly developed into the real thing, only two months into their relationship he had proposed and now eleven and a half months later they were marrying. July 19th 2014, Stevie couldnt have been happier when they had decided to set the date so quickly and began putting plans into place. She had chosen the venue, a church just outside the city and then onto a hotel for the reception. The dress she had taken her time choosing and Smithy had been horrified when she spent two months mortgage repayments on it, but had soon forgiven her when she told him how beautiful it was and it was him who would be taking it off of her. The guest list had pretty much written itself, family, friends, work colleagues, her school friends, Smithys army mates. The wedding had taken much planning but she had enjoyed every minute of it. The wedding song they had chosen easily, the song that had been playing the first time he had kissed her, at Callums birthday party, they had been hidden in the corner of the hall and had too much to drink.
I see the questions in your eyes I know whats weighing on your mind But you can be sure I know my part 'Cause I'll stand by you through the years You'll only cry those happy tears And though I'll make mistakes I'll never break your heart
The tall brunette snuggled into his body further and he sighed contently kissing her forhead "They seem so happy" she grinned "I cant believe we have been together two years longer than them and yet here we are at their wedding..." Neil smiled "It will be our turn soon.." she nodded before leaning into his lips "I know.. Three months time and we will be married.." he nodded "I am so glad we decided against this Grace.. you and me.. and Jake on a beach in Spain... it will be perfect.." she smiled "It will be the best day of my life Neil". Their lips met and he pushed his hand deep into her hair. "Mind if I join you?" Jo asked as she sunk down next to them. Grace shook her head "Of course not". Neil groaned slightly and Jo glanced to the happy couple "Did you think we would be dancing at their wedding?" she asked "I didnt think they would last longer than a couple of months... I mean Stevie is.. ya'know... and Smithy is hardly the settling down type". Neil sighed "No.. it wasnt what I was expecting". She turned back to them "Its sweet though" she smiled. "What about you Jo?" Neil asked and the woman turned to him "What about me?" she asked. "No one special in your life?" he asked and she shook her head "I dont need this.. I have my career". The couple glanced at each other as Jo turned away and Grace leant back into his lips. "I love you Neil Manson" she whispeared. "I love you too Gracie" he replied.
I swear By the moon and the stars in the sky I'll b there I swear Like the shadow thats by your side I'll be there For better or worse 'Till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart I swear.
The song slowly came to an end and as she moved from his body she gripped onto his hand before leading him towards the bar. She ordered them both a glass of the most expensive champaine and moved into his lips, he allowed his hands to drift down her body and onto her bum. Her tight fitting dress was nothing like he imagined, it hugged her body perfectly and she had the perfect body. She turned to glance out over the room full of people and sighed "Do you think everyone is having a nice time?" she asked and he nodded "Look at them.. its perfect". The hard tap on his shoulder caused him to turn round "Perfect eh.. even without your best mate?" the man laughed "Greg.." Smithy grinned as he pulled the man into a friendly hug, he turned back to Stevies frowning face "Greg Stark... Stevie Moss.." she interupted him "Smith... Stevie Smith" he laughed "I guess so.. my wife" he grinned back to Greg. "Me and Greg were in the army together... Greg still is now.. he is my best mate". Stevie nodded "You have told me... its nice to finally meet you..." she held her hand to him and he shook it "You too darlin'.. you certainly landed on your feet mate.." the small blonde leant up and kissed Smithys lips "I am going to mingle". Smithy watched her go before turning to Greg, who was eyeing Stevies behind "I bet she is a lot of fun to bounce up and down on top of". The Inspector laughed "Mmmm and she is also my wife... keep your thoughts to yourself..". They both laughed and Smithy turned back to the bar "You want a drink mate?" he asked and Greg nodded. Smithy smiled "How long you in town mate?". Greg sighed "Only tonight... I had to pull some serious strings to get this off.. but I have leave in few months... I thought I could swing by for a few nights..".
Stevie felt the hand on her shoulder and smiled to Mel behind her "Who is that?" she gestured towards Smithy and the man, he had a muscular body simialar to Smithys, he had sandy blonde hair, blue eyes and if Stevie hadnt just married Smithy she too would be eyeing the gorgeous man. "That is Greg.. he is Smithys army friend". Mel grinned "Single?" she asked. Stevie shrugged "No idea... he has come alone...". The two women went quiet as Smithy headed over towards them. "We need to do the speechs and cut the cake soon" he smiled. Stevie nodded and glanced back to the man "Is he single?" she asked. Smithy frowned "He is... but your not Mrs Smith". She faked a laugh "Im not asking for me am I... Mel.." the young PC shook her head "No not me... I dont want to know.." she walked off and Stevie turned back to Smithy "You are skating on very thin ice Stevie.." she laughed "D'you really think I am interested in any one else... its our wedding day Smithy". He nodded "I know.. Im joking.." he pecked her lips "He wont be interested in Mel... let her down gently... he always goes for blondes". She leant up into his lips and kissed him gently "Maybe I should have a crack at him..." she grinned and he laughed "Maybe you should remember I am the only man getting in your knickers for the rest of your life". She frowned and shook her head "No can do baby... Im not wearing any". He licked his lips as she walked off "You are a tease Mrs Smith".
Just after 2am the couple arrived back at their hotel room, he gripped her wrists and pulled her towards him "I have been waiting all day to get my hands on you". She sighed "Smithy I am so sleepy". He shook his head "You got no chance Stevie... I am getting you in the sack tonight". She smirked as the slight bang on the interupted them. "Ahhh... you got to be kidding me" he rose to his feet and headed to the door "Greg... what are you doing here mate?". The man smiled glancing through the door to the small blonde "Listen mate.. I know its your wedding night... but.. I have no where to go.. they have no rooms free and... I have been drinking..". Smithy sighed "Mate.. I..". Greg nodded slightly "Dont worry... I will be alright..". Stevie sighed "Smithy... let him in". Greg pushed past him "Cheers love" he grinned as he moved into the room and sunk onto the bed. Stevie smiled to Smithy as he frowned, Stevie rose to her feet and made her way to him, she took his hand and he pulled away, she glanced back to the bed before to Smithy, he walked into the ensuite bathroom and she followed, she smiled to him as he leant over the sink "Smithy..." he turned back to her "Its our wedding night... we will never get another one". She smiled as she moved to him "Its just one night Smithy... and he is your best friend". He sighed "I want.." she smiled "I know what you want.. a shag but there is plenty of over nights.." he shook his head "No.. I want to make love to my wife on our wedding night". A frown covered her features as she pushed into his lips "Well you can use this to your advantage" he frowned and she moved into his arms "Every night for the rest of our lives you can say... remember when you didnt put out on our wedding night... and I will have no choice but to give you anything you want". He nodded slightly and she moved into his lips, his tongue slipping deep into her mouth "But you are forgetting one thing.." she frowned and he leant into her ear "Remember when you moved into my flat.. and you made me move my TV out my bedroom you said.." she bit onto her bottom lip as he smirked "You dont need porn anymore.. I will put out everynight for the rest of our lives.. how many of these deals are you going to make me?" he asked. She pushed up and into his lips. "Oi Smithy..." he sighed as the voice came from the other room "D'you mind if I crack into the mini bar?". Smithy sighed "Its a good job I love you" he pecked her lips before walking from the room. She smiled to herself as she heard Smithy say "Dont push it" before she walked back into the room with the two men.
