My Girl

part 11

*Gabriel's pov*

We arrived back home in the US 14 hours later. "Victoria, love, do you want to come with me?" I pulled her towards her, wrapping her arms round my chest. She hummed and rested her head against my chest, "don't see why not.." she mumbled.

I kissed the top of her haid before slowly pulling away from the hug too get ready too leave. I usually wear suits around the house incase I need to go out all of a sudden so I just needed to gel back my hair and get some fresh clothes for my brother.

As I walked downstairs again I saw my fiancé struggling to put on her golden heart necklace, once I had placed the bag down on the wood floors I began walking over. I took it from her and moved her hazelnut curls out the way.

I kissed her on the back of her neck once before clipping the jewellery together. I ran my fingers down her back. "You nervous?" I broke the silence. She turned to look at me once again. "About?"

"The wedding.." I replied. She gulped. She was trying to hide it but she looked a nervous wreck. It was 8 hours untill we were getting married. Which we had decided would be in the church where my whole family has been baptised, married and even buried. The girl, my girl, simply nodded.

My brothers arm was thrown over my shoulder as I helped him walk too our car. As I sat him down he looked at me. "Who's the best man then" the boy chuckled.
"You ofcourse." I sighed as I shut his car door and got in the other side. I looked at my watch, 5 hours.

Victoria was sat on the other side of me. She was staring out the window. Almost lifeless. I nudged her softly but she didn't turn too look at me. Not even blink. "Love? Whats up?" I pulled her hands into mine and kissed one softly.

"Dunno.. nervous I guess.." she mumbled. Nerves? Or... regret?
I don't even want to think about it. I kissed her temple in attempt to calm her down the slightest.

As we pulled up too the house I helped my brother out with the help if a body gaurd. We took him in and sat him down on the sofa. "You up for trying to walk around a bit?" I scuffed up his hair making Victoria and Ruby giggle.

My brother nodded so I helped him back up. I stood next to him as he took a few steps, ready to catch him. I really wanted him to be stood besides me as I married the girl of my dreams.

*Victorias pov, 2 hours before the wedding*

I was sat in my room, Ruby doing my hair as I done my makeup. I applied some lipstick with a frown on my face. I wasn't ready too get married today. I had already told my sister about it.

"If you don't want too marry him today. Tell him." She tried too convince me for the 8th time. I knew I should. But I can't.

"I would but his business is vulnerable. A married man has too take over soon." I explained now in tears. My sister stroked my hair comfortingly just like mother done when we where little girls.

"I've got an idea." Ruby blurted out suddenly.

I walked towards Gabriel's room where all the boys were sat. After knocking 3 times I entered. All turned to me. My fiancé was stood in black trousers, a crisp white shirt and a tie that hadn't been done up yet. "Gabriel.. can I talk to you? Outside?" I pleaded. The boy looked round confused at my family and his brothers before walking towards me.

We began walking downstairs and into the garden. I saw all the boys leaving out from one window and Ruby from the other. My hand drifted into his. "Gabriel.. I don't think I can marry you today. Or anytime soon.. I need atleast a few weeks.." I began explaining.

I practically heard his heart shatter. "But.. the mafia.. I need to take over soon... an-and we already payed thousands for the wedding stuff, alot of it we can't reuse! It would be a waste" He frantically exclaimed. His hands ran through his hair in a panick. I grabbed one of his biceps.

"Gabe.. listen. Ruby had an idea, she said that while she was back at home she missed Mateo. They apparently got close. She said if Mateo is okay with it all then they can marry, he'll take over untill your able too." I whispered hopefully. The boy just looked at me.

*Gabriel's pov*

My lips finnaly parted, "If there both 101% okay with it then.. I don't see why not.." I knew one reason why not too.. I loved her.

"Victoria's pov*

My face transformed into a grin. "Well.. maybe we should see what Mateo thinks then?" My fiancé suggested. He gestured for Mateo to come down.

Within seconds he was stood besides us clearly confused. "So.. Victoria and I aren't getting married today.. but obviously someone still needs too so they can run the mafia-" Mateos eye brows furrowed and Gabriel began explaining, "Ruby suggested the both of you could marry and take over untill Victoria is ready. Only if you want to. If not then we'll go against the rules and just take over whike unmarried."

The boy looked between Gabriek and I clearly in shock and very confused. "I- uh.. Ruby's 100% okay with it?" He questioned once again. Both of us nodded. "Uh.. y-yeah sure. I'm happy with that." He didn't sound too sure. Great. He felt like he had too marry and save the mafia.

"Yah know what.. you clearly don't want to, I'll just suck it up and we'll stick to the original plan!" I blurted out.

*Gabriel's pov*

Suck it up? Really? She can't even tolerate me enough to be open to marriage. They both burst out into argument. The only thing I managed to make out is, "Victoria! It's fine! I'm more then happy to marry Ruby! Not just for the business!" Finnaly they stopped.

"So.. who's getting married?" I finnaly asked the dreaded question. Mateo and Victoria passed a glance. Honestly for two 20 year old they look like guilty toddlers.

"Ruby and I." Finnaly an answer.
