You & I « Motough

Chapter 19

"Okay, let's go over it one last time.." Mark said.

We were practicing the tango to Dance With Me by Drew Steely.

Derek smiled, taking my hands into his as we started the dance once more for the fifth time.

"Okay, great. Thank you guys so much for doing this.." I smiled.

"B, your our family and the days are counting down very fast.." Witney smiled, in Mark's arms.

I was about to respond when we heard the door open, turning around we saw Nina standing at the door.

"Um, hey.." She smiled.

We all stayed quiet for a minute until Janel spoke up.

"It's a private practice.."

"Yeah, I know I was just wondering If I could talk to the lovely bride and groom to be."

Looking around the room, I nodded for the other to leave.

"We'll see you guys tomorrow." Derek nodded.

We watched as they packed their stuff and leave, Janel made it obvious she still hated Nina by couching 'bitch' as she walked by.

"What are you doing here Nina?" Derek asked.

"Look, I know we all had a very rough patch and I'm very sorry. I saw online that you two were tying the knot so it was time to say sorry.."

Looking over at Derek, he had an uncomfortable look on his face.

"Yeah, okay, we're good.." I nodded.

"I hope you have an amazing day, Bethany. You deserve it and I'm sorry for all the pain I caused."

We watched Nina leave then looked at each other.

"That tension between you two made me feel like I'd throw up." I shook my head.

Derek chuckled and shook his head.

"I was thinking.. For our first dance instead of dancing to Thinking Out Loud, we can do our week nine dance. "

"Viennese Waltz?" I smiled taking off my dancing shoes. "Okay."

"I'll meet you at the house, my parents are coming in and I have to go a get them."

"All good babe.." I kissed him. "The girls and I have to prepare for the rehearsal dinner.." I took a deep breath.

"Exhausted?" Derek smiled when I nodded. "It'll be worth it in the end.."

"That is if I say I do.."

"Oh, you'll be saying I do.." He smiled kissing me.

"Dork, go get your parents."

After Derek left, I made my way to Janel's house.

"B, are you stressing.." Janel questioned, giving me a pat on the back.

"J, our rehearsal dinner is next week Then I have to stock the bar, make final payments, do assign seating, buy gifts for bridesmaids write vows and stay sane! That's only the half.."

"Beth, at least this is better than in the beginning of the year."

"Well, you helped then now I have to finish it myself.."

Janel smiled and sat down besides me. "I'll help you if you promise when you come back from your honeymoon, you'll help me."

"I promise J, I'll make it spontaneous!"

"Okay boss, What do you want me to do?"

"So, this list you have to reconfirm times with the vendors, all the contact are there, take care of the bridal party that you're apart of, call the photographer, I'll give you my check book to take care of the vendors and can you send the final guest list to the catering company?"

Janel looked at me like I grew two extra heads. "Holy crap B, but I will do everything. How about the dress and spa treatment?"

"Sadie is taking care of the spa treatment, then Witney and Brittany are taking care of my dress and other things. Thinking about that, shoes.. I have to go buy my shoes I completely forgot about that."

"I'll take care of the shoes, I'm going to the mall to buy a new suit for Val so I'll do it for you."

"Thank you so much J, I'll see you later for the planning.."

Leaving Janel's house, I felt like taking a two hour nap but the vows were making me want to rip all my hair out.

Derek finished his vows and my sheet of paper is burning a hole in my purse. Once I got into my car, I grabbed my phone and texted the one person who I knew would tell me anything I wanted to know.

Bethany: Mark, please tell me you've seen Derek's vows, I need help. I can't write mine!! I'm going to cry please please please help me! -B

Mark: Okay, Bethany take a few breaths! I can't really tell you what her wrote but I can help you write yours if you want help from me.

Bethany: meet me at the house.. I just can't write my vows at all and it's killing me.

Not waiting for a reply, I made my way down home listening to the music on the music to keep myself from getting discouraged.

"Hey, thanks for coming.." Greeting Mark, we made our way into the house.

"Okay, let's start this.." Mark clapped his hands together.

{Later that night}

I was laying on my couch, balling up papers frustrated. While throwing the papers away I heard the front door open then close showing Derek and his parents.

"Marianne! Bruce!" I squealed, pulling them into a tight hug.

"Oh darling, How are you feeling?" Marianne smiled, placing a hand on my arm.

"I'd say good but I want to rip all my hair out."

"Ah, it's come to the point where you want to give up.." Bruce chuckled looking over at Marianne.

Derek came over to my side and placed a kiss on my lips.

"How are you?" I asked, facing him.

"Exhausted actually.." Derek sighed.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"You.." Derek whispered in my ear.

Pushing him away I turned towards his parents.

"Are you guys hungry?"

"No honey, you two go to bed we ate on the way here.."

"Well, I'll take you guys to your room.." Derek grabbed their bags, leading them up the stairs.

After a couple minutes, Derek came back down the stairs taking the seat besides then pulled me towards him.

"What do you want me to help you with babe?

"Just tell me your best man and your groomsmen are on the same page as me.."

'They're all ready babe, just 5 days left." Derek smiled, kissing me softly.

'5 days, you'll last.."

"Come on Beth.." He chuckled.

"Five days.." I kissed his nose before getting up.

As I made my way up the stairs I could hear him grunting then following me.
