Deidre's Midnight

24

It is the day before Will and Kelsy's wedding and the day of the rehearsal dinner. I took the day off of work to help Kelsy with whatever she needs.

I am wearing a lilac faux wrap detail tank dress with a pair of white heels. I have my long dark brown/purple hair curled, and some natural looking make-up on.

Everything is pretty much ready to go for the ceremony rehearsal.

"I think you are all set. Is Will on his way yet?" I ask Kelsy. Will had decided to go to work today and leave the preparations to us women.

"Yes, he has already been home and showered so he should be here any moment now."

"Okay, I'm going to step out and have a smoke quick before everyone gets here." She nods and I make my way outside to my car which I parked on the side of the church. I sit in my car with the air conditioning on so my sweat doesn't ruin my make-up.

A couple minutes later, I see Will's truck pull up in front of the church. He steps out and I smile. He looks good, I'm so excited for him and Kelsy to get married tomorrow. They are so happy together.

I notice the passenger door open but don't see who it is until they step around the front of the truck. I feel my heart rate pick up slightly at the sight of him and my mouth opens slightly.

I was not expecting this reaction when I would see him again. We had somehow gone through this whole wedding planning process without seeing each other at all.

Dillon is dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black button up dress shirt. I can see his muscles stretching his shirt from here. His dark hair is cut the same way he always had it. I can't see his pale eyes due to the sunglasses he's wearing but I can guarantee they are just as mesmerizing as ever. He is even hotter than I remember and I feel my nerves growing in my stomach.

I take a couple more long drags to finish off my cigarette and wait for the men to enter the church before I take a deep breath and make my way back inside.

Dillon's POV

I step into the church with Will and Kelsy comes running into his arms the moment she sees him.

I try to discreetly look around to see who is all here.

"She's outside." Kelsy says quietly, leaning close to me.

"Who?" I try to sound confused, but she just gives me a knowing look. I roll my eyes at her shaking my head and walk over to talk to Will's parents, Jon and Patty.

They are standing next to another couple talking when I walk up.

"Oh, Dillon!" Patty exclaims once she notices me. She comes up and throws her arms around me squeezing tightly. I return the hug before turning to shake Jon's hand.

"Jon." I nod.

"How are you doing son?" He asks.

"I'm doing good. The shop has been doing great, and I have no complaints."

"Good to hear." He then nods towards the other couple standing with them. "Dillon, this is Steve and Emily Holmes, Kelsy's parents."

I shake both of their hands and stand there making small talk with the men when I hear a squeal behind me. When I turn around, I swear my jaw hits the floor. There she is standing in a dress that fits her so damn well. Her hair is a little longer and curly and I swear I can see hints of deep purple in it. As I run my eyes up and down her body, I can't help but notice the numerous tattoos. Her right arm is covered in a sleeve that continues across half her chest but in a tasteful way. As she jumps into Will's arms giving him a hug I see she has more on her back and I see the bottom of another peek out from the bottom of her dress on her leg.
