My Navy Seal II: Undeniable Attraction - Chapter 114

KIM

As my mom opens the door I see my dad standing there. There are tears in his eyes and then I can see struggles to speak.

“My baby girl, you look so beautiful today. Nick is indeed a lucky man”

“Thank you so much, daddy”

Then he pulls me in for a hug and I hook my hand into his arm. We start to walk towards the hangar and I realize that now I am actually getting married. I want to take in every moment and every facial expression. I want to remember this day in detail. I am so ready to become Mrs. Nick Roberts.

NICK

I look at myself in the mirror and I feel proud. Not because of the things I have done but because I can wear this uniform on my grandpa’s behalf. I wish I could have gotten to know him because somehow I think we would have gotten along well.

I turn around and look at John.

“I am ready”

“Great let’s go”

We make our way back to the hangar and I start to take a good look at the people around me. Most of the people are the ones that we invited to the wedding but the others are all people I worked with one or another time. Everyone greets me and says hello and I feel honored standing here today.

I am surrounded by people that love me and it is a good feeling. I never knew that so many people would pitch up at my wedding but then again, I realized I did not know a lot of things. We make our way to the front of the aisle.

Then suddenly it hits me. I am getting married to Kim McPherson. I am getting married to that doctor I could not keep my eyes off. I am going to stay with her for the rest of my life. She will be mine to look at every day and I would have the privilege of being with her.

I look around myself and I realized that we are close to the place where we met each other for the first time. Suddenly, every memory of that day comes back. I know that I was with Helena and I remember how I tried to not look at her.

I remember how I wanted to stay faithful to Helena and not let my thoughts about Kim run away with me. But she soon stole my heart and soul and definitely my body. She makes me a captive of her heart and she hasn’t set me free since then.

Of course, I do not want to escape that prison because that is where I want to spend my life forever. Without warning, I feel my hands starting to shake and I am in disbelief of how nervous I am. Then the music starts and the hangar doors open.

I can not stop myself from looking back and then I swear I see an angel. She looks more radiant than what the sun looks like in the early morning in all its brilliance. Her dress is just low enough so that her cleavage can draw your attention. Her dress is not too long to make you wish it was shorter.

The silk of her dress compliments the curves of her perfect body. She is the princess of my heart and she will stay it forever. My eyes do not seem to lose contact with her as I do not want to lose a moment with her.

She’s smiling as she walks down the aisle and I realize that her eyes are fixed on mine. Then she bites her lip just to make me a slave to everything she will do to me. She finally reaches me and then I take her from her dad. He congratulates me and then reveals her beautiful face.

KIM

As the doors open and the music starts, I make my way down the aisle. I want to look at each and every person in the room but my eyes can not escape the prison that Nick has created for me.

The moment that I saw him in that uniform, every nerve ending on my body switched to high alert. I know that Nick is a handsome man but this just pushed me right over the edge. No man will ever take his place in my eyes and I feel so proud to have him in my life and call him my husband.

The closer I get, the more I want to be next to him and when I finally arrive and I feel his hand in mine, I feel complete. Then he moves his beautiful lips next to my ear and says in a whisper.

“How did I get to be so lucky?”

NICK

I feel myself struggling to breathe and this time I know it’s not because of my broken ribs. This has to do with the beauty that is standing next to me. As I tell her how lucky I am I see her smile and a slight blush appears on her face. This just makes me fall even deeper for her and we walk to stand in front of the Admiral.

“I know that you have prepared your own vows. So, Nick if you want to go ahead?”

I feel nervous as if I’m going for an interview but at the same time I want to say this to her and I want her to hear me. As I take out the paper that I wrote my vows on I see my hands shaking. Then I clear my throat and say.

“Kim, I knew from the very moment I laid eyes on you that you were mine forever. Someway, somehow, I was determined to make you mine. And from this day forward my heart is entirely yours…

As we continue to grow in our lives together, I promise to give you all of my words when needed and to share in the silence when they are not. To pick you up if you are down, to love you unconditionally, to lay my bare skin on you when needed most, to care for you and our families for as long as we live, to adventure with you always, to say I love you before falling asleep each night, to be the best dad that I can be as we grow a family together, and to always know in the deepest part of my soul, that when challenges arise we will always find our way back to one another.

Kim, you are my everything and this is my promise to you. I will love you forever, every day”

I close my paper and put it back in my pocket but then I see Kim is in tears. I know exactly how she feels because I meant every word that I said.

KIM

As always he finds these words that just knock me off my feet. I hear everything he says and I see how nervous he is. I know that this must be terrifying for him to do in front of his teammates but I can see the honesty that shines through his words. Then the Admiral says.

“Kim, if you would like to say something?”

I swallow deeply as I take my letter from Nita. I know that my words would not even come close to his but I have written every word from my heart. I take a deep breath and then I nervously start.

“Nick, of all the people you have met on your journey and of all the places you have been, somehow and someway, you ended up here…with me. It is the most powerful and humbling fact that I can accept.

I used to think that we met by chance but now I know without a doubt that you were in front of me because we were meant to spend our lives together.

You have filled my life with joy and have given me a sense of peace that I have never known.

You are my best friend, my biggest supporter, and…my strong pillar. Although today marks the start of the rest of our lives, I know it will not be enough time with you.

I will not take our time together for granted. And because words can not do it, I promise to show you, for the rest of my life, how much I love you.

I promise to make you laugh when you are taking yourself too seriously.

I promise to hold your hand through the good times and through the bad times.

I promise to be loyal and faithful and to put you before all else. And I promise that when we are old and gray, we will look back on our lives together and we have no regrets.

Nick, from this day forward, you will never walk alone again. I will always love you, My Navy Seal”

NICK

I do not know how to react to what she just said but my body knows exactly how. I feel my tears falling from my eyes and I quickly wipe them away. I dare not show any emotions in front of my fellow teammates but I could not help myself as those words just healed a once broken heart.
