Hey!
New story, whoohoo!! :) I know, I'm excited too. I love writing. Another sappy romance story, coming up! You know I love them. Well... this one's not so bad in that department, but the next chapter might be! Hahaha.. just read and find out. Major twist at the end!
Enjoy!
Until 'I Do'
"I cannot believe I am doing this." I moaned, fidgeting anxiously. Flyboys, I can handle. Erasers? No problem.
Wearing a dress and getting ready to take a walk down an aisle strewn with flower petals? Not so much.
I gasped as Angel jerked the zipper up on my dress. "Jeez, Angel, I can't breathe!"
"Oh Max, that's how it's supposed to feel."
I turned to glare at her, hands on my hips. "And just how do you know this, young lady?"
Angel gave me a pretty grin and shrugged. "Magazines?"
"Pshh."
I turned back to the mirror, eyeing myself critically. "I look like a barbie."
Angel tugged on my hand to make me look down at her. "You look really pretty, Max."
"Yeah, pretty freaking awful."
Nudge danced into the room, looking absolutely stunning in a knee length, frilly dress. There she goes with the runaway model thing again.
"Ready for the ceremony, Max?"
I groaned again. "No. Where's Fang?"
"It's bad luck to see the guys before the wedding, Max!"
"Nudge, I'm not-"
"Max, Nudge, Angel, let's go let's go! We're starting, like, now!" A frazzled looking Ella swung through the door and began herding us out.
"Oh, there you girls are," Dr. Martinez rushed out, excitement giving her a red flush across her cheekbones. "Hurry, hurry, they're about to start." She kissed each of us on the cheeks, then began bustling around again.
We were hustled into line and then stopped to smooth our expressions and rumpled clothing. I took a deep breath and then fixed a smile on my face and stepped forward.
The whole ceremony seemed like it passed in a blur. I stood for what seemed like forever, then glancing up to meet Fang's serious eyes opposite me. He looked darkly handsome in his suit. I suppressed a chuckle at the memory of my mom forcing him into the fancy clothes. He did, however, flatly refuse to put on the tie.
A flash of amusement lit up his eyes as he saw me fidgeting uncomfortably with the sleeves of my dress.
I glared at him discreetly and the corner of his mouth quirked upward before he returned his attention to the man speaking solemnly in front of us.
I shifted my attention to Iggy. He also looked nice in his white shirt and jacket, but his hair was spiky as usual. His milky eyes were focused somewhere over the preacher's shoulder and he was as still as a statue. Next was Nudge, for once silent, and then Angel. She was carrying a basket of flowers and looked like a candy shop girl in her little pink dress and white shoes. Her hair was perfectly curly and she had an adorably solemn expression in her blue eyes. The Gasman was next to his sister, an almost perfect replica of Iggy in stance. He made his hair messy to look like Iggy's too, I thought with no little amusement. I guess the pyros are sticking together.
I finally dragged my attention back to the front of the church, just in time for the vows.
I stood next to Fang in the receiving line, shaking hands and smiling forcedly. I probably have lipstick all over my cheeks from those old ladies, I thought in disgust.
I saw Fang's jaw clench as he shook yet another hand and felt my tension ease a little bit. At least he's suffering with me.
Finally, the last person wrung hands with, hugged, and/or gave their best wishes to the entire wedding party. With a sigh I rolled my shoulders and stretched. Fang nodded agreement with my expression of relief and did the same.
A real smile overtaking my face, I walked over to my mom and Jeb.
She looked gorgeous in her long white dress and veil, and as I hugged her I whispered, "Congratulations, Mom."
Heh heh heh.. I know, I know, you all thought it was Max and Fang's wedding, right?? :) I betcha I really had you going. Well.. it's not. I'm sorry to disappoint you. And this chapter wasn't the most amazing thing ever written, but the next chapter will be way better.
Promise.
Pinky swear :)
