Dream Partners: Dark Rain (book 2)

Chapter 34: New Chances

Meanwhile, in Andrea's dressing room, she too was freaking out; but it was more about the future instead of the past. Andrea was sitting while Paula curled her hair and just exploding with panic. "what if I lose my powers? what if he changes his mind and leaves? what if he gets tired of having sex with me? what if-".Before Andrea could say another word, Paula shushed her and said "I love you bestie but your tripping...if you're really freaking out that much then read his mind". Before she could activate the link, Andrea's mother burst in and said "no need, I just talked with him and he's nervous about you too sweetie...like he was a few feet off from a mental wreck before I came in, but he's okay now and you will be too".

Andrea said "how do you know mom...you're not me" and her mother smiled and said "that's why I can see how amazing you really are without the insecurities blocking my view...ill tell you like I told jay...today you gotta put your foot down and leave the past behind and look forward to your new life together...from this point on everything is new except your feelings". Paula smiled and said "After some of the crazy stuff I've seen you guys do for each other, I can tell it will last...I mean you broke a woman's jaw over him and he killed himself to save you...you can't get more devoted than that". Andrea's mother smiled and said, "I've seen the way you two clicked after you met in person and you guys just went together like syrup and pancakes, you two are right for each other don't ever doubt that or your marriage will hit the rocks".

Andrea smiled, took a deep breath, and said "yup I'm ready for this and Paula hugged her bestie and said, "that's the spirit". Meanwhile, Raul had come back and was now escorting jay to the alter under the gazebo where tons of Andrea's family and a large group of jays worker friends including Sheila, were now focusing their full attention on. Jay stood there with Raul who tried to comfort him as the music began to play; signaling that the bride would arrive any minute. Another minute passed before Andrea came into sight; she was being escorted by Maldor who had managed to show up last minute and disguise himself as a friend of her father". Ariel and Maya were watching from the far back of the field with smiles on their faces.

When jay saw her, he immediately began to tear up at how beautiful she was, her dress was a white laced dress that was galaxy blue around the chest which spread out and stopped around the knees, leaving the rest white as well as the sleeves. Jay's mind was overloaded with joy as she walked up on stage and they turned, grabbed each other's hands, and stared into one another's eyes as her mother and Paula made their opening remarks about the couple before it was now time for Andrea and jay to deliver their vows to each other. Jay started first and said, "Andrea when I first met you...and we started talking, I never would've imagined that I would actually get this far with you, I'll be honest, I was prepared to live the rest of my life alone before you came into the picture".

He continued and said "when I finally moved here and we started living with each other, I was a nervous wreck, and I was convinced that i would screw up somehow, but even when I did, you forgave me and helped me improve myself, stayed with me through the darkest time and I'm blessed that I get to stand here and call you my wife soon". Andrea teared up, before saying "Jay when I met you, I thought I was unlovable, just a nobody and i had nearly given up on love until i met you". She teared up, and said, "but you always found ways to remind me that i was special and you always went above and beyond for me ever when you were tired; you always put me and my needs first when I didn't ask, and every since we've been together, we've grown into better people, happier people and i know that no matter what I do, I'll always have a loving man here to support me in any way possible".

She burst into tears before wiping them away and saying "you are everything a man should be and despite standing here right now, I still can't believe I get to call such a wonderful man, my husband in a few minutes, I love you jay Rodriguez, you and me really click and I can't see myself spending my life with anyone else but you, they really broke the mold when you were born". Jay and Andrea were now in full tears, just as Andrea's niece brought the rings up to the altar as her sister Elizabeth smiled from in the back...she managed to make it after all which was a shock but greatly appreciated as Andrea cried even harder.
