Want You [B.E.]

Chapter 40

Gemini's POV
the door men opened both of the church doors and i saw everyone stand up. my Abuelo started walking me down the aisle as i smiled at Billie, who's bottom lip was quivering.

when we got half way i saw that Billie was crying fully now. i handed my flowers to my mom as we passed the front row and walked up the single step. my Abuelo gave Billie a hug and placed our hands in each other's.

he walked over to his seat next to my Abuela and sat down. Billie wiped under her eyes again and joined her other hand in mine, as the priest started talking.

"friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the lives of Gemini and Billie, you may now exchange your vows of holy matrimony" i turned around to Nova and she handed me a folded piece of paper.

the priest handed me a microphone as i opened it and looked up at Billie, feeling her eyes on me. she was nervously looking at the paper in my hand and nodded her head for me to read it. i looked back down at the paper, taking in a shaky breath and started reading.

"dear Gemini, to start off i wanna say i cried while writing this knowing that it would be you reading it, i didn't really know what to write and had a few people help me because your the writer, i always tell you what i need when i need to say it and i wanna thank you for that, i still remember the night that we met and me still staying in the store after you said it was closed, i'd taken a picture of you secretly that night, i try to take a picture of all our memories together because i feel that it's important, you know how much i love you and i try my best to keep you happy even when you're not having a good day, you've helped me through a lot of things and you keep me going everyday, the night that you had Aliana, i remember you were laughing at me because i said i wasn't gonna cry but ended up crying the most, that night ended up with us both laughing together and me planning to propose to you and for this moment right now"

i took a second to wipe my eyes and continued reading.

"i don't know how it's possible for a person but you always look beautiful no matter what, when you wake up your beautiful, when you fall asleep your beautiful, when you give birth your beautiful, every little thing you do is beautiful, you own my heart as your own and make it feel fuller everyday, every Facetime during tour really sucked but you always made it worth it, for someone that i'v know for almost 3 years it feels like i have talked to you everyday of life, you're my forever soulmate and i never wanna stop being with you, you have the best of ideas and one was this, reading each other's vows and i wanna grow old with you and at some point get a tabby cat, i love you with my present, i love you with my future, i love you with my past, i love you with every smile you make me have, i love you to the Moon and back, from Jupiter and Mars"

i gently wiped under my eyes and folded the paper back up. i looked at Billie and saw her wipe her eyes while letting out a soft laugh.

she turned around to Finneas and turned back around with a folded piece of paper. she looked at me one more time before looking down at the paper and unfolding it after i handed her the mic.

"dear Billie, it took me a while to write, speaking as i had to shorten it a little, i wanted to start my vowels off with something different but there's one of the poems from the book i read to the first night we met, it was your favorite poem that night and i remember how it went like the back of my hand, She is not confined by time she is a running river seeking for freedom to flow through life unchained, you asked me to reread it to you a couple more times and when i did, you told me it reminded you of me, though you hadn't known anything about me that day, you somehow knew that i'd been through a lot, you didn't ask me any questions about anything and i love that, because you made me feel like a normal person and everyone during that time period made it seem like i wasn't normal, i love everything about you, but the things i really love most you about are, how gentle you are with me and the way you show your kindness, how you say family is most important and spend time with us as much as you can, how much you worry about me and so much more, you somehow always seem to make me laugh every day with one of your stupid jokes"
