My eyes became glossy, watching him look at me like I was the most important thing in the world. I put my ear to his broad chest hugging him tightly, "Forever is enough."
He smiled as he kissed the top of my head, resting his chin on my head. "I just can't believe you're here."
"I'm glad I'm here, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to belong."
He hugged me tighter, "I knew you belonged with me."
I kissed his lips again, before we were interrupted by Adele walking in. "I knew Daddy liked you."
We smiled at her as she walked over toward us. Wade kneeled down next to her, "I see my little girl has become very smart and I do love Lea."
"Do you love my Dad?" she asked innocently.
I kneeled down next to them, "I love both of you very much."
"I finally have the family I always wanted" said the little girl as she hugged me, her embrace causing me to feel overwhelmed. I knew exactly how she felt having a mother that never showed interest in her and now I could give her all the love in the world.
Wade smiled at me watching us. "Why don't you take Lea, to help you and Molly?"
"Could I change first?" I asked staring at my wedding gown.
Wade chuckled, "Sure, there are some clothes in your old room, just some we found."
"That's perfect" I said leaving to get changed.
Adele took her father's hand, "I'm glad she's here, Daddy" she whispered.
"I am too" whispered Wade in her ear. She grinned as Wade took her hand and they walked into the kitchen.
I looked in my old bedroom; it looked just as it was. I looked in the cupboard and there was a green sundress that I had forgotten about. I changed from my wedding dress into that and sat on my bed. I stared at my ring, as I slowly pulled it off and placed it on the bedside table. I still felt guilt being here, here I was happy and there was John who was a mess. My thoughts were diminished at the sound of knocking. It was Molly with a kind smile as she walked in, sitting next to me. "How are you, Dear?"
"I'm fine, actually more than fine... I feel very happy" I said.
"But I still sense some despair in you?"
"I'm just thinking about everyone at home, today I was supposed to get married to John but I'm here... with Wade."
"Things like this happen; you just have to go with what your heart wants. Don't worry about what everyone thinks, I'm sure everyone who loves you will be happy if they know you are happy."
"I know I just didn't want to hurt them. Especially John, he was really good to me and I wasn't."
She took my hand and held on to it tightly, "In time, his heart will heal and I know John will speak to you again, you were a big part of his life as he was to yours."
I nodded, "Thank you Molly."
"That's what I'm here for sweetheart, I'm happier than anyone that you're here."
I smiled.
"Adele is asking for you, she wants you to try some of the salad she made. She actually made it quite well for a five year old."
...
After dinner, I put Adele to sleep by reading her some fairy tales and then tucking her in. She was a beautiful, sweet girl and I was honoured that she thought so highly of me. I walked out of her room, turning her light off and went to look for Wade. I found him lying on his large bed, he seemed deep in thought.
I kissed his warm cheek, "What you thinking about?"
He smiled, "Adele, work... but mostly you."
I blushed as I lowered my gaze.
He grabbed my hand and tugged at me to lie next to him, the idea dawning on me that we were going to share the same bedroom. I lay next to him, watching the smile on his face turn into a grin.
He grabbed a jumper that was positioned on the drawer next to him. "Wear it, it'll get cold."
I put it on, it was about two sizes two big and was longer than my actual dress but it was very warm and it smelt like him so I adored it.
He looked at me hesitating before speaking, "I...I heard you've been feeling a little down?"
"Down?" I asked, "Did Molly tell you?"
"No, I was going to get you but I overheard you two talking" he said, his gaze lowered.
"It's just that I feel a little guilty... it's just... never mind" I sighed.
"Please, tell me" he said interested in what I was going to say.
"I just feel bad for John; I was supposed to get married to him today."
Wade was silent, his gaze still lowered.
I watched his hushed demeanour. I lay my head on his shoulder, "But I'm so happy to be here with you. You have no idea."
"No you have no idea. I would do anything for you Lea, anything just to see you happy."
"You don't have to do anything; just being with you is all that I want."
He grinned, "That's all I want." He placed his arm out, inviting me in.
I huddled next to him, laying my cheek on his chest.
"I've been thinking, I think after a few weeks I want us to move back. Phillip has been harassing me with phone calls about how he cannot stand Drew" said Wade.
"You want to go back?" I said excited.
He nodded. "I know you want to be close with your father and the only reason I moved here was so I wouldn't have to see you and John being all happily ever after."
I laughed, "It was pretty funny, seeing you all emotional."
"Funny?"
"Yes it was funny, you were all moody and angry... well you're always like that" I joked.
"I'm not always angry" he said.
"I'm sorry, but you are... especially to me!"
"It was only because I liked you the most, I wasn't aware that I being emotional was humorous to you?"
"It was also very sweet" I said brushing my hand across his forehead, "It's one of the things I love about you."
"Really?" he said.
"Yes, I love lots of things like when you look after me when I'm down, when you buy me roses for no reason and how you seem to think so highly of me."
He chuckled, "It's because you are the most perfect woman I've ever met."
...
I was lying in bed when I felt Wade's kiss on my lips. He was gazing at me, still this smile on his face. "Good morning beautiful."
He was suited up as usual, while I looked like an awful mess. "Morning" I said hiding under the sheets.
"I know you're tired from last night but get up love; I want to spend the day with you" he said.
I uncovered my face from the sheet, my heart beating a little faster hearing him want to go somewhere with me. I was sure in the entire time I had known him we never went anywhere where it was just the two of us, alone but it was different now that we were now together. I wondered whether he would want to go out like other couples. "Where are we going?"
"I thought it would be nice, to just go out for lunch" he said, "I bought you something; I thought would look nice on you."
He handed me a box, it was beautifully wrapped in pink and white ribbon. I sat up opening it; it was this beautiful round neck, navy blue and black lace trim detailed dress with an embellished waistband and underneath the dress was these black peep toe heels.
"Thank you" I said grinning, "they're lovely." I kissed his soft lips.
"I'm glad you like it, I must say I looked kind of foolish buying these in the store" he said.
I laughed picturing the image. "Give me one hour."
He nodded, leaving the room.
...
We walked down one of the streets of Miami, seeing Wade wear sunglasses was so attractive to me; I had never seen him wear them before. He grabbed my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. I grinned at him. I was excited to see where Wade would take me; this was our first date and I felt really nauseous.
Wade gave me another one of his smiles, where the skin around his eyes would wrinkle and I would feel better again. We were standing in front of this quite lavish looking restaurant. "This is it."
We walked inside and the waiter guided us to our table. The waiter pulled out the chair for me and I sat down. I looked around at all the people who were eating here, they all looked very wealthy.
"This place looks like a palace" I said.
"It's nice, isn't it... beautiful view of the ocean" he said.
I turned and looked to see how beautiful the day was and the beach looked lovely, the scenery was just magnificent. "It's gorgeous."
He nodded, as he gazed at the menu. "I'm going to have the steak."
"I'll just have the chicken" I said seeing that it was the cheapest option, everything was so highly priced.
The waiter returned, "Can I get something for you to drink?"
"Yes, we'll have some white wine, please?" said Wade, "Is that alright?"
I nodded.
"And we're also ready to order, we'll have two steaks please, both medium to rare" said Wade.
I looked at him confused.
He smirked as he gave the waiter the menus back.
"I was fine with the chicken" I said.
He grabbed my hand tracing my knuckled with his fingers, as I gazed at him. We were quiet for a bit, just enjoying the time together. Then the waiter returned with the bottle of wine, filling our glasses with the liquid.
"I spoke with John today" said Wade.
"What? You spoke with him? What did he say?" I asked surprised.
"I met with him, he's here in Miami."
"He's here?" I said. This overwhelming feeling of anxiety filled my body.
"But it's alright, I told him everything that happened and he's happy for us, well mostly for me... he was glad that it was me you wanted not that prune Orton" he said.
"He's happy?"
"Yes, he actually seemed quite fine when this woman came to see him."
"A woman?"
"This brown haired woman, she had blue eyes" he said, "Does he have a sister? I think he called her Ally or something."
"Alex?" I said.
"Yes that's the one!" Wade exclaimed, "Do you know her?"
"Yeah, she's a friend of mine... It's kind of nice that the two are together in some way; I thought she was interested in someone else. "
