hey everyone!!! Thanks so much for your reviews! Okay so we know there has been a lot of drama but it's part of the appeal.
So here we go again. Is Peter in time?
-
Peter stood there motionless and frozen to the spot in the silent room with only one sight in his interest. Kelly.
Kelly's heart jumped and her breathing stopped in her throat the moment she saw Peter at the door his piercing blue eyes catching hers. Why was he here? Was he here for her?
"Am I too late? Did I miss it?" He said sounding slightly defeated.
Kelly thought she felt her heart sink completely. He was just here to watch.
"No you didn't miss is, just interrupted it. Hurry up and find a seat." David instructed bitterly from next to Kelly.
Peter moved his eyes to take a quick glance at David. This was who she was marrying?
"No thanks." Peter said as he caught Kelly's eyes again and began walking towards them. "I'm not here to watch, " he continued swearing that he saw her eyes gleam and brighten up a little bit. "I came to stop it."
"I beg your pardon!" David almost shouted from his spot. "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Peter Gallagher, and I love Kelly" okay it sounded better in his head when he practised it on his was down the aisle towards her.
David's face turned pale. As all that could be heard from around the silence filled room, were gasps of disbelief and shock.
"What?" David said in an angry tone.
Peter ignored him and still he looked at Kelly.
"Kelly, I love you. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let you go. I've left my wife and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please don't do this. Don't marry him."
Kelly didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. Was this really happening? Maybe she was just dreaming, either way what was she supposed to do? Kelly's eyes searched around the room desperately attempting to find an answer, she knew in her heart she wanted Peter more than anybody, but she couldn't just forget about David, the man standing opposite her at the alter ready to become her husband.
Melinda watched feeling helpless, not sure whether she should intervene. She was as shocked as anyone when Peter burst through the doors. He loved her though and from her friends expression it was evident that she deeply loved him too. So it was deeper than a fling, an affair, in fact their feelings were so intense that Peter left his wife, his kids Melinda thought to herself. Looking from Peter pain ridden and hopeful face to David's angry and impatient one. Of the two Melinda knew who would give Kelly the life she deserved.
Kelly wracked her brains desperately searching for the correct words to say. "I want you to leave now" she vaguely heard David tell Peter. Helpless she found herself turning to look at her best friend and maid of honour. As she caught gazes with Melinda she felt her friend hand on her back as she whispered in her ear and then kissed her cheek.
"Kel, this is your decision. Whatever you decide I'm here for you. But just be sure to follow your heart, "she used her hand to move Kelly's blonde hair out of her face "otherwise you could regret it forever."
"I'm not gonna ask you again, please leave." David said conjuring all of what was inside him to not loose his temper.
"I am not leaving, not unless Kelly can tell me she doesn't love me too." Peter resorted.
"Kelly!" David shouted at her snapping her out of her daze. "Tell him"
Kelly felt the lump in her throat increase, she never thought this would be her wedding, or something she would live through never mind be the cause of.
"I'm sorry, " she whispered while looking at the ground "But I love him too"
"Excuse me!" David shouted not quite hearing her.
"I'm sorry David…" she spoke
Mustering up all the courage inside her and turning to look at Peter, seeing the small smile across him lips as he heard her previous words. The audience in the church all sat there, breaths held in anticipation as they awaited her next words. Some wedding this turned out to be.
"…but I love Peter."
Kelly count help herself, She threw her body into Peter's arms as she clung tightly to him for a moment.
Peter's face lit up as he felt Kelly hugging him tight. He gently kissed the side of her head as he let a tear drip down his cheek.
"I love you so much Peter" Kelly whispered in his ear so that only he heard.
"I love you too, and I am so sorry that I let it get to this far before I made that truly known to you."
David's face turned to one of shock and complete rage, it actually scared her. "Since when!" he demanded taking a step closer to her.
"It doesn't matter" she said quietly as she broke her embrace with Peter and looked back at David.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER! IT DOESN'T MATTER! OF COURSE IT BLOODY MATTERS!" David lost his temper. "SINCE WHEN! ANSWER ME!"
"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Peter shouted back in anger.
"I'll speak to her however the hell I want!"
Kelly watched as David enraged Peter even more. Standing right next to him she could see the little veins popping out of his head and how his posture changed as he stood there fighting for her.
"NO. If you loved her you wouldn't." Peter calmed himself hoping to take the heat away from the scene a little.
"I did love her!"
"Yeah as your babysitter!" Peter raised his voice again.
"YEAH! WELL NOW SHE'S YOUR TO LOVE AS THE GOLDIGGING WHORE THAT SHE IS!" David spat in pure rage as he got close to Kelly's face.
Melinda, gasped is that all she ever meant to him? Yeah she might have cheated on him, but he cheated on her too. He made her believe he loved her when evidently he didn't in the slightest, he was the one that had broken her heart.
That was it Peter thought. Nobody! Nobody was going to talk to her like that. Peter acted on his impulse as he grabbed David by the collar pulling him away from Kelly. Clenching his fist tightly closed he lifted his arm ready to swing.
As David felt Peter grab him, he knew this had gone too far. When he saw Peter raise a clenched first he lifted his arms in defence as he covered his face.
Peter saw as David lifted his arms in defence protecting his face. He wasn't worth it, why be the bad one.
"Coward!" Peter spat as he pushed David away out of his grasp making him stumble backwards.
Kelly looked down at David, all he looked to her now was pathetic. She wondered if she actually meant anything to him.
"Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is?" David shouted at Kelly once again. "What this is going to do to my business."
Peter was about to step in again when he felt Kelly hand grab his arm and stop him as she took a step towards David.
"Screw your business David." she said in an angry voice "and screw you."
She turned away and took Peter by the hand as she walked back up the aisle, undoing the steps she had taken earlier that day as she lead him to her dressing room behind the back of the church.
David stood there dumbstruck as he looked around at the hundreds of face still looking at him. His best man stood nest to him as he attempted to pull David away from the scene.
"GET OFF ME!" David yelled at his friend "GET OUT! EVERYONE JUST GET OUT!"
David sat down on the step as he watched the guests leave the church. The only people left were his two teenage daughters who held their baby brother.
"Do you have any idea how bad this makes me look." he spoke as they approached him.
"I know you thought she would be an asset to you Dad, but you are better off without her."
Escorted by his three children David left the church.
-
Peter followed Kelly outside the church and round the back into a small building that held the dressing rooms. He was so ecstatic with the outcome of the wedding. Although he felt guilty that Kelly had to go through that and be humiliated on front of all those people, but it was worth it. He had her, she was his and he was hers.
Kelly rushed to the dressing room as she pushed open the door and entered leaving Peter to close it behind her.
"I have to get out of this dress" she said over a couple of times as she frantically pulled at the zip at the back.
"Hey, hey, calm down baby." Peter closed the door as he walked over to her.
Kelly let out a sigh and stopped fighting her dress as she looked up into Peter's eyes.
"Hey" he whispered as he tilted her head up with a finger under her chin.
"Hi" she whispered back with a small smile as she closed her eyes.
Peter watched her close her eyes before he bent his head down and his lips found hers for their first kiss since that fateful day when they separated.
His hands fell to her sides as he pulled her closer into him. Smiling through the kiss as he felt Kelly's hands slip up his chest and clasp behind his neck. As the kiss continued Peter stroked along her bottom lip with his tongue hoping that she would grant him entry, when she did he seized the opportunity for his tongue to meet hers immediately as they brushed against one another.
The kiss was sweet and passionate. Personal. It was the beginning of something great they hoped and so far it was Perfect. Kelly found herself completely lost in Peter's touch, everything from the feel of his tongue against hers to their chests pressed close together to his hands caressing her back. This was what she had dreamed and fantasised about for so long.
When they kiss ended Peter pulled back and stared into her eyes. He gently lifted his hand pushed her hair out her face before stroking her cheek.
"Baby, we are officially a couple. Just you and me. Together." He could of cried as he said it.
Kelly smile at him really widely. "Forever" she whispered as she reached up to kiss him again.
"Could you help me out of this dress?" She asked him a moment later indicating to the zip. "I don't want to wear it for a moment longer than I have to."
Peter just smiled as she turned in his arms and he pulled the zip down for her. Kelly felt her skin shiver as she felt Peter's hands slip down the bare skin of her back as he pulled down the zip. Once the zip was fully down Pete stepped back in admiration as it slipped easily off Kelly's arms and down to the floor pooling at her feet. Peter stood there looking over her body as she was now only presented in her silky underwear.
Kelly felt slightly self-conscious as she let her dress fall to the floor, as anxious as she was about Peter viewing her almost naked again she didn't want to wear that dress for another moment. She turned back round to face him as she tried to avert his gaze, her only tactic was to kiss him.
Peter closed his eyes as he felt her lips on his once again. He was in heaven, he didn't think he could have ever been this happy again. As she kissed him Peter let his hands wonder over her bare stomach as his tongue roamed her mouth. It wasn't until he ran his fingers over her breast that he felt her pull away.
"Peter, do you really wanna do this here?" she asked quiet and breathless.
"Oh baby, please." he kissed her lips once more pulling her into him and allowing her to feel what she had been doing to him. "I've waited ages to have you again, and now that I do I don't want to wait another second." he kissed her again as a small grin approached her face. "Is that a bad thing?" he whispered,
"No" she shook her head as she closed her eyes and leaned into him more.
"I love you"
"Oh Peter, I love you too."
His lips were upon hers once more. Kelly quickly tackled the buttons of his shirt longing to see his body. His lips found her neck as she pulled his shirt off his shoulders and dropped it to the floor. Peter's hands wondered up her back as he unclipped her bra, her nipples hardening between his fingers as he played with them. Kelly moaned in sheer pleasure under his touch. Next to go was his trousers, desperately Kelly fought with the belt until finally she loosened it enough to push them down his legs waiting for him to step out of them.
Guiding them backwards Kelly pulled Peter towards the sofa that sat in the corner of the room, falling back onto it she skilfully pulled Peter down on top off her as she landed on the soft cushions. Both giggling they looked at each other, both so overcome with happiness. Peter's lips pressed themselves onto hers again, fitting perfectly between hers as he pressed his groin down onto hers making her moan.
Kelly allowed herself to moan out loud as she felt Peter's full hardness mix with her dampness. She wanted to let him know how much she wanted him as she audibly shared the pleasure she was encountering. Peter's hands wondered all over her as he massaged almost every inch of skin, It wasn't until he reached the silk panty line on her waist that the reality of the situation hit her. She was lying here, with Peter Gallagher on top of her, about to make love to him. It was so surreal, for the past little while she hadn't even allowed herself to think about how Peter was with her because she was having to adjust back to David's standards.
Peter moved his kisses to her neck as he slipped his hand beneath the hem of her panties. He grazed his hand over her skin teasing before going anywhere near her folds. As soon as he did he was rewarded by the brilliant sound of his name escaping his lovers lips. He slowly dipped two finger into her as he couldn't hold himself back any longer he wanted to give her every ounce of pleasure he could.
"Peter please, I need you now" she begged him not too much later.
Peter lifted his head out of her neck as he took in her heavy breathing and dilated eyes.
"Please baby, I'm so close, I want you inside."
Peter just smiled as he removed his hand and instead used it to pull her panties down her legs and then discard them on the floor. By the time he replaced himself on top of her his boxers were gone too. Peter gently pressed his groin to her groin as he kissed her lips once more. Kelly wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him further down to her as he entered her slowly. Each little inch sending some pleasure soaring through them. As Peter grinded into her the sounds she was making spurred him on. He buried his head in her neck as her walls clamped around him bringing them both to the edge. As their orgasms hit they yelled each other's name out simultaneously in ecstasy.
Peter collapsed onto her not putting too much of his weight onto her though. He placed a few light kisses over her neck and shoulder as he tried so savour the moment for as long as possible. Kelly regulated her breathing as she ran her fingers through the hairs on the back of his neck.
After they redressed they checked themselves into the hotel room that Melinda and Kelly had shared the night before and for the first time in ages they both had a sound night's sleep, curled up in each other's arms.

"Morning baby" Peter beamed as Kelly opened her eyes after feeling him kiss her.
"Hey" she smiled up at him as he hovered over her.
"This is the first of many mornings where I will wake up next to you." his smile was the widest one ever.
"Yeah, " she said contented as she reached up and stoked his cheek with her hand. "And you can feel free to wake me up like that every morning if you wish." she giggled.
"Sure" he kissed her again." whatever you want baby."
Peter rolled onto his side as did Kelly so they lay in bed facing each other. Peter wished the covers were slightly lower on her naked body as he looked at the exposed area above her breasts. He rubbed his hand up her bare side as he looked over at her.
"So baby, " he began, "I was thinking about what we are going to do."
"well, what do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, I am currently homeless, and I am planning on buying a place in LA." he paused to allow the information to register in her still sleepy brain, "I was wondering if you would maybe help me look, and then maybe you would want to move in with me?" he asked willing her to say yes.
Kelly let a grin creep over her lips as she heard what he was saying. Living together, she was sure she'd like that very much. Leaning over slightly she pressed a prolonging kiss on to his lips before nodding her head slightly.
"I would love to live with you."
"Really?"
"Yeah" she laughed "don't sound so surprised!"
Peter couldn't help but laugh at her. She was so adorable.
"But" she interrupted the giggles "I don't want you to just buy any house and then have me move in."
Peter looked confused as his eyes willed her to continue.
"What about it you move into my apartment with me" she saw him about to speak when she cut him off with her finger on his lips "for the time being, then we could look for a place together and it could be our house, as opposed to your house that I moved into."
Peter delight at her suggestion was evident as he grinned wider than any Cheshire cat.
"I think…" he said as he rolled them both over so he lay on top of her "that's a wonderful idea."
They both smiled up at each other as Peter brought his lips down to hers and they began round one of the day.
-
Later that day as Kelly and Peter lay on the sofa watching telly together they heard a knock at the door. As Kelly got up to answer she was happy to see her best friend standing there.
"Mindy!" she said excited as she hugged her friend tight.
"Hey Kel." her friend smiled back.
"Oh Mindy I can't thank you enough for what you did for me yesterday in that church and after wards, you know making sure the guests were ok and stuff,"
"well what are friends for huh?" she smiled as Kelly led her to where Peter sat.
"Hey Melinda" Peter said as she approached him for a hug. Melinda just smiled. "What are you doing here?" Peter asked still in a friendly tone though as Kelly sat close to him on the couch and linked her fingers with his.
"Actually I just wanted to talk to you guys, Yesterday was a crazy scene and I wanted to be sure you were alright. I can't believe you crashed the wedding."
"Well I was such an idiot and by the time I realised what I wanted, that was my only chance to get Kelly."
"Well you made it just in the nick of time" she joked.
"Yeah, when I came through those doors and saw them standing there I seriously thought I was too late and I can only thank God that I wasn't."
Although Melinda didn't agree with the way the whole affair had been handled by Peter, she had to admit they looked so happy and in love as they sat there on front of her. Of course Kelly couldn't be excused in this whole thing, she was as guilty as Peter, but Melinda couldn't bare to think what she would be like for the rest of her life if she had gone ahead and married David.
"How…ummm how long have you two…"
"Ummm the first time was when David was supposed to come through to LA, but instead he brought the baby and went out, Peter came round to help me baby-sit cause I would have gone crazy and couldn't cope with Leo on my own." Kelly answered honestly as she smiled almost proudly at Peter.
Melinda just nodded her head as she processed the information. "And when did it end?"
"The day I phoned you telling you that the wedding had been moved forward" Kelly admitted bowing her head guilty. "we had a fight because Peter wasn't sure that he could leave his kids for me."
Seeing that Kelly was getting slightly emotional Peter continued for her. "so we fought and broke up and then I realised after I lost her that she was all I wanted. I know it sounds all soppy and ridiculous but I loved her so much."
"So you left your wife and followed her to Canada where you crashed her wedding and won her back." Melinda finished as more of a statement.
Peter and Kelly just looked at each other as they tried not to giggle.
"Look Melinda I know you think it's probably all fast and sudden, " Peter began "but I really do truly love Kelly and I have from the start of this thing, it was never just an affair. I want to spend the rest of my life with her."
Melinda couldn't help but smile as Kelly leaned up and kissed him square on the lips. It was such an odd sight when they weren't on set.
"I feel the same way about him too." Kelly pleaded really hoping her best friend understood.
"So what now? " Melinda asked again "where do you go from here."
"We want to move in together back in LA, well into my apartment until we can find a house together." Kelly spoke again proudly.
Again Melinda just nodded. This was a lot to consume.
"Mindy" Kelly looked straight at her friend. "You told me at the wedding to go with my heart and that you would support me no matter. Right?"
"Yeah" Melinda knew where she was going with this.
"So I'm doing this with Peter. But I need to know you are ok with this."
Peter tightened his grip on Kelly's hand as he watched Melinda struggle for words, a rare occurrence. He knew how much Melinda's friendship meant to Kelly so he understood her need for her friends companionship on this.
"Mindy?" Kelly snapped her out of her daze, "Do we have you blessing?"
-
