Falling In Love - Chapter 226

Trick

I don’t know what we are doing but I am all for it. This is crazy but I can’t help but be excited about it. A week ago, we had issues, I almost thought we were done for and now, he wants to get married. I am so happy about this jump; I want to do this more than anything. Yeah. I wanted to give him a grand wedding, one that would make him proud of me but he seems to want this as much as I want it and after everything that has happened, I just want to make this move with him.

“‘Are we really doing this?” I ask him as I drive to our house. It is already getting dark and I can see the lights from our house.

“I am tired of waiting to spend the rest of my life with you” he says.

“Me too” I say smiling at him.

I park the car and we get out of it. I hold his hand and he pulls me close to him.

“I love you” I tell him as we walk to the house.

“I love you too” he says lingering by the door. I don’t know how this is going to work but he mentioned Vegas and it is just a couple of hours away. If we start the drive now, we will get there before midnight. A Vegas wedding isn’t the most romantic but just knowing that he is there with me is all I need. I am so excited for this even though deep down I know it is crazy and he deserves a lot more than this. I wanted to give him more, I wanted the crowd, his family–and by family, I mean Lance and his mother. Jack doesn’t really have anyone but me. His father is still a drunk. I am so surprised that he has lasted so long. When we first moved out of the apartment, he used to make sure to check up on him but now, they have drifted. The only thing he still does is send him money every month. He wouldn’t want him anywhere near him for our wedding and I only want what he wants.

“Come on,” he drags my hand and pulls me into the house. “We’ve got to pack a bag and then start the drive,” he winks at me, pulling me into his arms. I am running on fumes, I have so much energy bursting inside me from the mere thought.

I don’t know how I am going to make it through the ride but I am glad that I will be with him. I am so excited to get married. He pushes me to the wall and smashes his lips to mine. The front door is dark, except from the light through the glass of the door but I see him clearly. I see his eyes, his beautiful red hair, the sparkle in his eyes. I see the little crinkle on his right side of his cheek. I see the cute way his nose flares when he smiles. He is a vision to me; I love the way he looks at me. We are barely even touching and I am ready to explode with need.

I pull away from him and force myself to take some steps away from him. I know that if he kisses me now, I would forget about everything else. I am already hot and if he touches me, I am going to lose it.

“We should be packing,” I remind him and he chuckles obviously loving my reaction to his touch. He knows how much he affects me and he likes to tease me about it.

I am going to pack. You pack,” he says and goes upstairs. I stand there for a moment and just catch my breath. It is crazy how fast I go into overdrive. I can’t believe that I am actually doing this.

I walk into the bedroom and hear him shuffling through the closet. I don’t think we need a lot of stuff. Maybe a change of clothes and some underwear. This is a one-day thing. I am going to be his husband in a couple of hours.

“Come on Trick. Should I just put some of your stuff in my bag,” he pokes his head out the closet. He has my bag open and is rummaging through it. He throws a couple of my shirts in his bag. I glance at myself in the mirror and see that my cheeks are red from the excitement. I look like a tomato. I reach for my bag and grab a couple of my underwear, helping him fill it up.

“We are doing this, I should call Lance,” he squeals in excitement. I know he can’t do anything without telling his best friend and I know that Lance is the one person that deserves to know.

He has been a lot of help to us.

He is the only family we have.

I am so glad that we have him. I know that I would have gone insane if it wasn’t for him.

I grab my phone and call him. He picks up after the first ring.

“Hey, what’s up,” he asks.

“We are getting married tonight,” Jack says and I can hear Lance’s joyous scream. I have to put my hand over my other ear so I don’t go deaf.

“You are getting married? Where? When? How?” he keeps firing questions and I hear Jack laughing.

“We are getting married in Vegas. We are leaving right now,” Jack says. I can’t help but laugh at him.

“You can’t get married in Vegas!” he yells.

“Why not?” Jack asks.

“Because you can’t!” Lance says.

“Why not?” Jack asks again.

“Because you can’t get married in Vegas. You can’t do this without me. That’s not fair,” he whines.

“You are going to be fine with this,” Jack says. “Just let us do this,” he says and I can hear Lance try to talk but I can’t hear him clearly.

“You know I am going to do this even if you don’t agree, just support us. would you?” he asks his best friend.

“You have to have like a celebration with us, and I need pictures and videos. that is the only way I will agree to this,” he says.

Jack grins at me. “Fine, we will have a party. We will call you when we get there,” he tells him.

“Ok, good luck guys,” he says before ending the call.

I don’t think we need it because I feel like the luckiest person on earth right now.

I am at peace.
