A/N:

So I finished two ½ out of six of applications. I decided I needed a break from writing college essays. And what better way to spend my break than write fanfiction? Exactly, there is no better way to spend your free time. Okay enough of my rambling…enjoy :)

Chapter four

-WPOV-

I rolled over to my side and bumped into something hard but tender. I opened my eyes and saw a blur of familiar blue. I stretched slightly, as Ian wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." He whispered gently.

I yawned weakly in response, stretching a little more in his arms. I reached up and rubbed my eyes so that I could see his face more clearly.

He chuckled, probably at my pathetic attempt to wake up.

"Am I really that funny looking when I wake up?" I asked playfully.

"No, you're beautiful as usual." He reassured.

"That doesn't explain why you were laughing." I countered.

"I was laughing at your kitten-like awakening." He said briefly before connecting our lips.

"WANDA!" I heard Melanie shout. "WANDAAA!"

Ian broke the kiss and pecked my forehead lightly.

"I better go see what she wants before she makes our lives miserable." I sighed

Ian frowned, making me giggle.

I joined our lips once more for a quick kiss, but Ian had other ideas. He pulled me closer to him and began to smolder my lips lethally. I broke the kiss, my breathing labored.

"Ian," I said pushing his face away slightly as he tried to steal another kiss.

He scowled, "Why can't she wait?" he looked like a little kid who was being reprimanded.

I reluctantly slipped out of his arms and the warm bed. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a black tank top and headed toward the bathing area.

"Meet me in the dining area for breakfast, once you're done talking with Melanie." Ian said as he made the bed.

I nodded, stepped out into the dim hallway, and headed toward Melanie.

"Wanda!" Melanie screamed with fury.

"Good morning to you too." I replied sarcastically.

"We need to talk." She said sternly.

"Okay, about what?" I asked.

Her face suddenly became torn.

"Mel," I said my voice full of concern. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, I guess." She replied.

Uh oh. I'd read about this somewhere, when the bride or groom start having second thoughts about getting married. What was the word?

"Mel you're not getting cold feet are you?" I asked worriedly. If it didn't work out for Mel and Jared there was no hope for a marriage to work out between Ian and me.

She laughed lightly. "No, I'm not getting cold feet. I think I'm getting the opposite."

I was officially confused. "Huh?"

She sighed and explained. "You know how I had said earlier that I didn't care what my wedding was like, just as long as I got married."

I nodded encouraging her to continue.

"Well, while I was lying in bed last night I realized that I do care what my wedding is like. When I was little, my mom used to read me bedtime stories about Cinderella and the other princesses. Then one night ,after she had just read me Beauty and the Beast for the billionth time, I asked her what Belle's wedding was like. She said she wasn't sure but she would find out. The next night instead of reading one of the princess stories she told me the story of Belle's wedding. She described the most beautiful wedding. When I grew older, I found out that the wedding she had described was hers. Ever since then, I knew that I wanted a big, magnificent wedding just like my mums. I want to be able to have that magical moment of finding the right dress, I want to sit for hours looking through bridal magazines choosing silly things like flowers for the tables, I want a flower girl and a maid of honor. I want it all, but I know that it's impossible." She admitted with a sad tone.

I could feel tears forming in my eyes; I knew that I would do anything to give Melanie the wedding of her dreams. I wrapped her into a tender hug. "We'll find a way. I just know it." I reassured not only her but my doubts as well.

"Thanks,Wanda. But how?" Melanie said.

"I have a few ideas…" but before I could finish my sentence my stomach growled loudly.

She laughed lightly. "Let's go wash up and eat before Ian kills me for making you starve. Then we'll sit with them and discuss this."

I rolled my eyes. Did I mention I hated looking so vulnerable and fragile?

----------------------------------------------

"So, what's for breakfast?" I inquired, as Melanie and I strolled to the table where Jared and Ian were sitting.

"PANCAKES!" Jamie shouted excitedly, walking over to the table with three plates full of pancakes.

"Mmm, sounds delicious." I responded just as excitedly. Jamie's mood always seems to rub off on me.

Ian weaved his fingers through mine, pulled out the chair next to his, and directed for me to sit. I smiled at his courteous gesture and placed a light kiss on his cheek.

I moved my chair closer to Ian's so that we could share the pancakes. Before I could grab the fork on the plate, Ian took it. He poked a piece of the pancake, dipped it in the sweet maple syrup, and then brought it towards my mouth. I rolled my eyes, before opening my mouth to let him place the soaked pancake piece into my mouth. As soon as, I released the fork from my mouth, Ian scooped a large piece of pancake into his mouth. I sat there contently, marveling at how even with a slight scruff on his face Ian looked handsome. He caught me staring, and smiled goofily making the food in his mouth fill his cheeks. Before I could stifle it, a giggle escaped. That just made him smile even bigger.

"Mel, where did you go this morning? You were gone before I woke up." Jared said, forcing me to tear my eyes away from Ian. When I was with Ian I would always forget our surroundings. It was hard not to get lost in his deep blue eyes, especially when he was being unconsciously sweet. That's what I loved about Ian, his actions were so miniscule but their effects on me were huge.

"I had to talk to Wanda." Mel explained.

"About what? Couldn't you have waited until we got to breakfast? I hate waking up to find you absent from my side." He complained like a little kid.

This time she rolled her eyes.

"I know what you mean. She ruined my morning too." Ian said finally swallowing his fourth bite. That was the other thing. While I would've eaten only two bites, Ian would've already taken four.

"Suck it up. It was important. Okay? "She snapped.

Ian made the wrong move then. "What was so important that you had to interrupt the mere hours that I have alone with Wanda?"

Great we weren't going to finish breakfast anytime soon. This subject wasn't supposed to come up until after breakfast when we were in the privacy of our rooms.

"Oh please, you have all night for that and the rest of your lives. And let me remind you that your future with Wanda lays in my hands?" Melanie retorted.

That caught my attention. What did she mean by that?

Ian didn't reply. He just shot daggers at Melanie, who now had a smug smirk on her face.

I was utterly confused.

I opened my mouth to ask for a clarification, but Ian was faster and he placed another piece of pancake in my mouth before I could say anything. It was an awfully big piece too. I scowled at him, and crossed my arms across my chest. I hated being left in the dark.

I heard Jamie burst out laughing. I turned to see what could possibly have caused this boy to go into hysterics. I didn't see anything worth laughing at, as I glanced around the room. Jeb was sitting at a table with Doc discussing their act for the talent show the cave had at the end of every month. Sunny and Kyle were sitting a couple tables down eating their pancakes. I turned back around to face Jamie and looked at him questioningly. He finally sobered up and explained "Ian you really shouldn't feed Wanda such a big bite, because she ends up looking like a chipmunk while she tries to chew the food."

Jamie sure did know how to distract me. When I saw Ian mouth thanks to Jamie, I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. They weren't fooling me. I could tell they were hiding something and if it meant using my vulnerability against them to find out, I would.
