It feels like I haven't updated in forever and I know that really it's been quite a while. I honestly don't have an excuse to be taking this long to update because I'm not doing anything right now besides being lazy. So I apologize to you all for the delay. You can yell at me all you want. Lol. Anyway, this is the last chapter of this story. OMG. Haha. I didn't really plan it this way but I hope you all enjoy it anyway! Please let me know what you think of this chapter and just everything about this story! I love you all! Thank you!
James POV:
I stared at myself in the mirror for what felt like hours. I had no idea what I was looking for but I just wanted to look absolutely perfect today. I had I ran the black comb through my hair once more before setting it down in the table and turning around. I immediately turned back to the mirror though and straightened out my bow tie. After I thought it looked perfect I ran my hands down the front of my tux to smooth it out. I closed my eyes thinking of how it was only a year ago that we were planning for this event. I thought that I was completely ready and that I wouldn't be nervous at all but now that I was only minutes away from watching my fiancé walk down the aisle I was getting quite shaken up. I could feel my hands shaking and the butterflies in my stomach felt like they were trying to break their way out of my body. I took a deep breath and jumped when I felt someone put their hands on my shoulders.
I spun around and sighed, "Oh God, Carlos. You scared me."
He gave me a sympathetic look, "Sorry dude. Are you ready? It's almost time for you to go out there. We have to make sure Kendall doesn't see you before he walks down the aisle."
"I'm so nervous."
He patted my back and gave me a friendly smile, "You have nothing to be nervous about, James. You love Kendall and he loves you. You guys are meant for each other and if he hasn't left you yet then there's no way that he's going to leave you now." He laughed and pulled me in for a hug. "I can't believe you're already getting married. It feels like just yesterday we were playing hockey in high school."
I sighed happily, "Yea I know. We've come a long way, haven't we Carlitos?"
He nodded and pulled away from our hug but left his hands on my shoulders. "We sure have. And no matter what happens we'll always be best friends." He flashed a smile at me once more, "You look amazing man. I'm so happy for you guys."
"Thanks."
He ruffled my hair, "Now go out there and get your man!" I glared at him and he shrugged. "Sorry man. Uh, let's comb that one more time and then go get your man."
I rolled my eyes and smiled before lightly punching him in the arm. "What would I do without you dude?"
"I don't know but I bet you would be completely lost."
We both laughed as I combed my hair down one more time.
Kendall POV:
"Kendall, relax. And stop doing that." Logan ripped my hand away from my mouth. I always bit my nails when I was extremely nervous and he couldn't stand it. I had done it since we were little and every time he saw me doing it he would groan and slap me. Today was a special day though so he refrained from getting so frustrated. He knew how much I was looking forward to this day but he could tell that I wasn't dealing with my nerves so well.
"Sorry Logan. I'm just a little nervous is all."
He chuckled, "A little? Dude, I've known you forever and this-" He pointed to my shaking body, "-is a lot more intense than a little nervous. If you were shaking anymore I would think you're getting electrocuted."
I managed a little laugh and said, "That obvious?"
He nodded, "Yes."
I sighed, "God, I bet James is all calm and collected in the room next door. I just can't stop thinking about how amazing he's going to look and how blah I look. I mean I'm nothing compared to him."
Logan put his arms around my shoulders, "That is not true, Kendall. James is probably just as bad as you are right now. Maybe even worse. He may act like he's ok but really he's freaking out inside. He's just much better at hiding it than you are. And you have absolutely nothing to worry about. James loves you very much and even if you trip and fall walking down that aisle he'll still think you're the most beautiful creature to ever live."
I smiled, "Thanks for the pep talk Logan. When I trip and fall I'll make sure to do it gracefully."
We laughed and he said, "You know what I meant. You could be wearing hobo clothes right now with stains all over you and dirt all up on your face and he would still want to marry you. It's scary how much he adores you."
I looked up at him, "You really think that?"
He nodded, "I know that. The only one that doesn't know that is you. Trust me on this. You're his one and only."
I took one more deep breath and said, "Let's do this then. I'm ready now."
He smiled, "That's the Kendall I know and love. Now let's get this party started."
James POV:
I was standing at the end of the long aisle. I looked out and saw all of our friends and family sitting on the left and the right. My palms were sweating and I kept wiping them off on my pants knowing that at any moment Kendall would be walking through those big doors and I would take his hands in mine. It would be terribly unromantic if my hands were this disgusting when I took his. He probably wouldn't care but I would never forget how embarrassed I was if it had happened to me. Carlos must have noticed that I kept doing it because he tapped me on the shoulder.
He leaned in close to me and whispered, "Dude stop worrying so much. Kendall isn't going to care if your hands are sweaty. You act like he's never touched your sweat before and we both know that he's probably licked it off of your body at one point."
I smiled at my best man and we both let out a little chuckle. When I looked back up at the beginning of the aisle I saw that the doors were being opened. Logan and Katie came walking in first. Their arms were linked with each other's and they both looked absolutely stunning. Katie was in a burgundy knee length dress and Logan had on a black suit with a burgundy vest to match her. They had big smiles on their faces and when they got close to me I saw a tear fall down Katie's face. I smiled at her and he nodded as if to say that she couldn't be happier for us.
They both stepped over to the side and we watched Dustin walk in with his newest boyfriend Matt. They had met before Dustin had moved to Minnesota and over that time I had grown rather close to him. They really were cute together and everyone else thought that as well. Dustin was wearing the same thing that Logan was and Matt was wearing the same thing but his vest was black and his tie was burgundy.
Behind them were the ring bearer, Jordan, who was Matt's nephew and the flower girl, Madison, who was Jordan's twin sister. Kendall and I had babysat them multiple times and they were the cutest kids in the whole world. They were six years old and had the cutest dimples and brunette hair. I had fallen in love with them and talked their parents into enrolling them into the daycare I had worked at.
And before I knew it Kendall was walking through the doors with his mother at his side. He was clutching a bouquet of flowers that attempted to rival his beauty but in my eyes they couldn't even compete. He looked so gorgeous and even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off of him. His green eyes looked brighter than normal and his hair was brushed so beautifully. He lit up the room the second he stepped foot through those doors and I could swear that I fell in love all over again. The tux hugged his body perfectly and once I saw him the nervousness vanished from my body. My smile got bigger as he got closer to me and once he reached me his mom nodded and I took his hand. He handed the bouquet to Logan and turned back to me. I must have looked oddly happy or something because I could tell that he was holding in a little chuckle as he looked at my face.
I wanted to wait but I couldn't help myself. I leaned over and whispered, "You look absolutely beautiful Darling."
He blushed and grabbed my other hand before the minister started to speak. I tried to listen to what he was saying but all I could focus on was the beautiful man that stood before me. I was so ready to just start my life with him. Before I knew it our vows were being exchanged. We had agreed that I would go first so I took a deep breath and started.
"I James Maslow, take you, Kendall Schmidt to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I swear to you that I will be faithful to you, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I will trust you and cherish you, laugh with you and cry with you, and love you every day regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I promise to care for you and protect you, to comfort you and encourage you, and stay with you, for all of eternity. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
I saw a tear slowly roll down his cheek and I had to fight to not let one fall myself. I squeezed his hand tighter to let him know that he could go ahead and start. I wanted him to know that I would be there for him and that I really did love him. I looked him in the eyes once more as he started to say his own vows.
"I Kendall Schmidt, take you, James Maslow to be my husband, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I'm ready to start my life with you so that we can grow together. I anticipate seeing the man that you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I will respect you in your successes and in your failures, I will care for you in sickness and in health, and I will nurture you. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and cherish you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to love you for the rest of eternity."
Even before he began I knew that I would cry, and I was right. As he said the last words of his vows I let a few tears fall and I smiled at him. He smiled back at me and brought his thumb up to my cheek to wipe the tears away. We said our 'I do's' and he gave me his left hand and I slipped the white gold ring that was now engraved 'I will love you forever and a day. –James' onto his finger. He then took my hand and did the same with the gold band on my finger.
Before we could even hear the minister say, "You may now kiss the groom." we were already in each other's arms, kissing passionately and never wanting it to end. I knew that we couldn't stay there all day so I pulled us apart and I smiled at him.
"I love you, Kendall."
He smiled back, "I love you too, James."
We walked down the aisle together before I picked him up bridal style and carried him the rest of the way out of the church. He laughed and once we got outside we kissed again. I hugged him tight and said, "Finally, you're mine forever."
He gave me a quick peck on the lips and nodded, "Finally."
He held my hands and I saw him frown a bit. "What's wrong babe?"
"I'm just sorry that we didn't have enough money to pay for a real honeymoon."
I smiled, "Well, about that…"
His eyes grew wide, "James, what are you not telling me?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise. I know how much you love surprises."
He chuckled, "I hate surprises and you know it. They scare me."
I laughed, "Well I hope this one doesn't scare you. I've been planning it for quite some time."
"Tell me where we're going!"
"Nuh uh uh." I shook my finger at him and poked his nose. "Not until we leave."
He made his best pouty face and I kissed his cheek, "Not even for this face?"
I laughed, "Nope. I want you to be really surprised."
He sighed in defeat, "Fine. But I'm gonna get you back for this."
"I look forward to it."
Kendall POV:
The reception had ended and we were now in a limo headed for wherever James was planning on going. He still hadn't told me where we were going and I was a little scared because sometimes his surprises were a bit much. It's not that I didn't love them, it was just that I didn't want him to be spending huge amounts of money on me when we had agreed that he wouldn't go behind my back and do something extravagant. At the reception he had assured me that his parents had paid for it though and I was surprised when I had seen them sitting in the church during the ceremony. I knew they didn't approve of me and it was a little shocking to see that they had actually shown up.
I could hear James move around a bit and I sighed, "James, please tell me where we're going. You're making me nervous. And was this blind fold really necessary?"
I heard him chuckle, "You'll see in a little bit. We're almost there." He gave me a kiss, "And yes it was necessary. I'm hoping we can use that later too."
I could tell that he was wiggling his eyebrows at the thought of bondage. I never really liked the idea of it but for James I would do anything. If it made him happy then it made me happy too.
"Yea, yea. As long as you behave mister."
He laughed, "Ooh. Are you gonna spank me if I'm a naughty boy tonight?"
I chuckled, "Oh you know I am."
I felt the limo come to a stop and I heard a car door open and close. I felt the one I was sitting next to open and James took my hand and helped me get out.
"Can I take this off now?"
"Nope. In a few minutes. Just wait."
I sighed, "Alright. This better be good."
He laughed, "Oh I think you'll love it."
He grabbed my hand again and we began to walk. To where I wasn't quite sure but I could hear voices and other noises that I couldn't really identify. We stopped and he sat me down on a rather uncomfortable chair.
"Ok. Ready?"
I nodded.
"Alright. On the count of three take your blind fold off."
"One. Two. THREE!"
I took it off and James was standing in front of my holding two tickets. I grabbed them and read the little printed words.
The only thing I really saw on the ticket was the word in all caps: BORACAY.
My eyes grew wide and I looked up at James. "Really?!"
He smiled and shrugged, "Really."
I flung my body at him and wrapped my arms around him in a big hug. I jumped up and down. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"I knew you would like it."
"Like it?! I love it! I'm so excited!" I looked down and realized something. "Wait, where's our luggage?"
"I had some people that work for my mom drop it off at the resort for us. I didn't want to ruin the surprise."
I smiled and hugged him again, "You think of everything. I love you so much."
"Only the best for my Kendall Bear."
I happily sighed, "You're so amazing. I don't know how I deserve you."
He smiled, "Because you're amazing too." He kissed my forehead. "And I couldn't think of a better way to spend my first few nights with you as my husband. The place where you said yes. That was the happiest day of my life until now. Now that you're mine I'm never going to let you go. I love you too much to even think of being without you."
I kissed him once more and grinned, "I love you too. So much"
"And all of this because you were being a big tease. The best tease ever though."
He sat down and I sat on his lap, "Only the best for my Jamesy."
