Manda

Chapter 2

They made their way to the the private air strip just outside of Trenton. Ranger had given them a two week all inclusive trip anywhere they wanted. That was two months ago. They finally settled on a date to go to Vegas. It was only going to be the two of them, just the way they wanted it.

They were missing out on the Rangeman boat party; where Tank was going to introduce his long time girlfriend, Lynda. Manda and Evan had already met her. She was something else, and they knew she would keepTank on his toes. Lester would be in for a big surprise when he tried to flirt with her.

They arrived at the air strip, where the Rangeman corporate jet was waiting for them. When they went inside they were surprised to find that out had been decorated in creams and silvers; the colors they were using in their wedding at The Mirage Hotel and casino.

"Evan, who? How? What?" Manda stuttered out. Ram chuckled.

"I think Ranger may have put his hand in this."

"Sounds like him."

They sat and prepared for takeoff. The six hour flight went by quickly and smoothly. They were met by Eric, a friend of Ranger's at Macarran airport. He took them directly to The Mirage.

They were immediately taken to the penthouse suite. Manda was amazed by the amount of cream colored roses that covered ever surface. They were greeted by the wedding coordinator, a Mrs. Simms.

"Manda, Evan, it is so nice to meet you. Mr. Manoso has informed me that everything you want to make you day special will be covered. Including all of your clothing. Manda, he has also arranged a spa day for you on the day of your event."

Manda gasped and covered her mouth. She couldn't understand why Ranger would do this for them.

"Baby, are you alright?"

Manda only nodded. He pulled her into his arms and held her tight. Mrs. Simms silently left the room. She knew the couple needed a few moments to gather themselves.

"Evan, why would he do all of this for us?"

"I think it's his way to let us know that he's happy for us. Ranger is a man of few words, but many actions. Look at how he's been with Steph all these years."

The next few days went by in a blur as they finished their prep for the wedding. Manda found a beautiful cream colored Vera Wang gown that had silver piping along the bottom and the bodice of the sweetheart style wedding gown.

Ramsey had found an Armani Tux with a silver and cream colored tie. He was nervously waiting for Manda to make her appearance. He knew she would be beautiful, she always ways.

They were being married in the tunnel where you could view the white lions and tigers in their habitats. All 13 of the large cats were standing at attention. It was as if they knew exactly what was going on.

At six pm on the dot, the music began to swell. Ave Maria was playing instead of the wedding march. Andre Botchelli's version is what she wanted. The big surprise for her was that he was there singing it just for them.

Ram got his first glimpse of Manda and hand the wind knocked out of him. She was carrying a bouquet of roses and calla lillies wrapped with a silver ribbon, her hair was pulled slightly away from her face.

She made her way down the tunnel to Evan. She was taken aback by everything around her. The twinkling lights, the cats, the singer, and her love. This was exactly what she wanted; it was perfect.

They barely heard their vows as they spoke them. They knew that they would be able to watch the video of them shakily saying I do.

The rest of their evening was spent in each others arms. All too soon it was time to return to New Jersey as Mr. and Mrs. Evan Ramsey.

When they touched down at the private air strip they were shocked to see Ranger, Steph, Woody, Jackie, Tank and Lynda all waiting for them. It seems there were a few announcements to make.

Jackie pounced on Manda first.

"I'm pregnant! You're gonna be an aunt!"

Manda squealed and hugged her friend. They hadn't been made aware of Steph's pregnancy yet, but her overnight belly gave it all away. They had been together for a long time, but it had been kept a secret due to both of their fears.

Tank and Lynda hung back keeping a slight distance from everyone. Ram walked over and spotted the ring on Lynda's left ring finger.

"Congrats, man!"

Ram slapped Tank on the back and lifted Lynda into a bear hug.

"Need to breath, Ram."

He put her down as he laughed.

"Hey, Ranger! Where's Lester?" Ram asked.

"Atlanta. Some problems came up, so we sent him. I think Melanie is giving him a run for his money though."

Steph, Jackie and Lynda all busted put laughing.

"Run for his money, hell! She's taking no prisoners with him!" Lynda exclaimed.
