Hey all!
Chapter synopsis: Lucy heads back to the UK for her year 11 prom. How will her old friends react when she tells them about America and her marriage?
"Have a safe trip you two" Mark says as Riker and I make our way to the departures lounge.
"Hey Lucy, get some pictures for us won't you?" Asks Rydel.
"Of course I will" I reply. "See you in a few days"
"Oh my God. Lucy you look so beautiful" Riker breathes as I walk down the stairs.
"You've seen this dress before" I answer. I had decided to wear my wedding dress because none of my friends knew what it looked like. I move to Riker's side and take his arm.
"Do you think your friends will like me?" He asks as we walk to the car.
"Of course they will" I reply giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. The engine came into life and Riker kisses me before we head to the school to meet everyone.
"Guess who made it back in time for prom" I say as I walk up behind my friends after having photos taken with Riker. They all turn and their faces light up. I embrace them in turn.
"How have you been?"
"How was America?"
"Who is this handsome man? Does he have any brothers?"
"Okay. I'll answer one at a time. I have been good. America was incredible. Finally this is my husband, Riker, he has two brother who are both single" I answer as I beckon for Riker to come closer.
"WHAT?!" They all exclaim.
"Did I forget to mention that I got married when we last spoke? Sorry" I joke as we make our way to the coaches to head to the venue.
The journey mainly consisted of me explaining to the girls what the last while had been like for me. They wanted to know every last detail of it, which is weird because I have told them basically everything over Skype, phone and text. Riker sits next to me with his arm around my shoulders. After what seems like no time at all we are at the venue. It was situated in the grounds of a large house with a lake near by. We all get off the coach and head into the venue the music was already playing. My mouth drops open at the look of the venue, it looked so similar to the venue of the reception at the wedding. I smile at Riker as we take each others hands. We begin to dance to the music.
"I love you so much Luce" he whispers into my ear as we move in time to the music.
"I love you too Rike" I answer. After that we laughed, enjoyed the company and danced the night away.
Oh how I wish my prom would turn out like this. It will never happen though, but heck I can dream.
Anyway I hope you liked it!
