CHAPTER 24

Sorry about the last chapter, I couldn't resist!

"…Get married tomorrow." Sue said as she leaned in to kiss Jack. She leaned into his chest and kissed him passionately. Jack's arm wrapped around her pulling her close. Their tongues entwined with each other's heightening their passion. Sue's hands traveled across his chest and slipped inside his shirt. Jack groaned as her finger tips caressed his nipples. His lips traveled along her jaw line to her neck making her moan as his lips traveled along the path of torment.

"Jack…" Sue whispered. "Jack… not here…" She said as she pulled back from him a bit. Jack looked guilty for allowing himself to get so caught up in the lust he felt for Sue. He pushed himself upright and began to act uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry Sue… I shouldn't have…" Jack began, but Sue stopped him with a kiss.

"I don't want to wait..." Sue said as she leaned into kiss Jack again. As their lips parted, Sue backed up to give herself some much needed space. She smiled a devilish grin up at him as she gave him another quick peck on the lips. "But I will" She said giggling. She pushed herself off the couch and headed for the door.

"Take me home?" Sue said smiling at Jack. Jack cringed knowing his evening was done, but also knowing that tomorrow held his future. He stood up from the couch and took Sue's hand. They walked to the car hand in hand, and stayed that way for the ride to Sue's house. They pulled up outside Sue's apartment. Jack started to get out of the car, Sue stopped him.

"I don't need to go up yet. I don't have a curfew…" Sue smiled as she leaned in to kiss him. Jack softly backed away from his bride to be and kissed her gently on the nose, and got out of the car. Sue looked at him curiously. "Everything alright?" She asked.

"Yes." He said as he put his hand on the small of her back. He led her to the door and up the stairs to her door. As they reached the door, Jack pulled her to the side, and into his arms. He kissed her passionately, as his hands 'slipped' down a bit and cupped her back side. Shocked, she pulled away from him, playfully smacking him and pulling his hands off her.

"I cannot wait until tomorrow at this time…" He said as he kissed her lightly.

Sue looked at him curiously.

"You will be my wife… and we won't be standing in the hall way kissing goodnight…" he said suggestively. Sue blushed and turned the handle to the door.

"Then I guess I should go before it becomes tomorrow, and we give us bad luck by seeing the bride before the wedding…" Sue said as she turned to go inside the apartment.

"I love you Sue." Jack said smiling at her.

"I love you too." She said as she closed the door.

Sue crept into her room and changed into her PJ's and walked back into the kitchen for a glass of milk.

Lucy was sitting at the table looking over the check list for the wedding.

"Hi…" Sue said as she poured the milk. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing really. I can't sleep, so I thought I would double check the list for tomorrow… that is what the maid of honor does, right?" Lucy asked, smiling at Sue.

"Did we miss anything?" She asked. Lucy shook her head no.

"Nervous?" Lucy asked.

"No." Sue lied. She broke into a chuckle. "Scared to death!" she confessed.

"It'll be fine." Lucy said knowing that didn't reassure her any. "You're marrying your soul mate; it doesn't get any better than that." Lucy said with a big smile on her face.

"You're right about that… I am so lucky." Sue admitted. "I should go to bed…" Sue said smiling at her best friend.

"You should… You have a big day tomorrow." Lucy said. Sue walked over to where Lucy was sitting and gave her a hug. Lucy smiled and hugged her back.

"What's this for?" Lucy asked.

"Doing this for me. Being here for me. For just being my friend- my best friend. Thanks Luce." Sue said as tears began to fill her eyes. "You're the sister I never had." Sue said as turned to walk into her room.
