Blissful sleep and the amazing dream slowly leaves me, but I don't fight to stay asleep. Why dream it when I can live it? I rather feel Shane now and not just in a dream.
When my hand reaches out for him the bed is cold. I open my eyes and see a rose on the pillow with a piece of paper.
I sit up and look at the note.
'Good morning, Little Paws. I have a few things I have to do before you step out the back door in your dress by noon. With all my heart, Shane.'
I smile at the note, as a knock sounds on the door. Lola peeks her head in and smiles.
"She is awake." Lola swings the door open, letting Jovi and herself in.
Thank God, something told me to at least wear a tank and shorts to bed last night, and not one of my little sexy nighties I normally wear to bed.
"I am going to grab a quick shower and be ready for whatever you two have planned." I smile and get off the bed.
Lola gets all the fur babies out of the room and lets me know she is going to let them out back. Jovi starts hanging up the dress and smoothing over it.
I take an incredibly fast shower, because something hits me. Wrapping a towel around me, I step out of the bathroom and over to the closet. I throw on clothes, not giving a care my hair is still wet hanging down.
"What are you doing girly?" Jovi looks at me with a side eye.
"I need you to take me to the jewelry store in town."
Jovi grabs his keys from the side tray when we get downstairs.
"Hey Lola, could you watch them while Jovi takes me to town for a quick run?" I ask her, throwing on my shoes.
"Of course. Gram and Mom will be here in a few minutes with the mums and other flowers. Samual is coming right at noon."
"Thanks! I won't be even an hour." I smile and take off to Jovi's car.
In no time, we are parked and getting out of the car. "Why did you have to make this emergency trip?" Jovi asks, catching up to me.
"Because Shane needs a wedding band." I smile and walk inside. I probably look ridiculous with wet hair and baggy clothes.
"How can I help you today?" A older man asks.
"I need a wedding ring for my soon to be husband." I smile and walk over to where he moves too.
"Does he prefer a particular metal?"
I shake my head. "Something to match mine? I know mine has the bottom engagement and wedding bands, but not a matching one for his."
The older man looks at my band and smiles. "That is a white gold. We have some over here if you want to keep the same metal for him as yours is."
I pick out a basic white gold ring because the others don't speak for him. Plus, the type of ring he will have it will be easy to clean and not hold all the dirt from the type of work he does.
Once I pay for the ring, we are back in the car and at the house in no time. Shane is here and carrying mums for Gram.
I get out of the car and before I can get a word out to Shane, I am dragged away.
"Girly we got to get this hair done and in your dress in exactly one hour." Jovi goes into his theatrics.
"Oh, I got food being delivered for all of us." Mom calls out as, I am pulled up the stairs.
"Thanks!" I squeak out. "You're legs are longer than mine. I can't go this fast."
"Oh shush, I have seen you run when you want too. Just think maybe Lola has a chocolate bar in the bedroom." Jovi laughs.
That got me in gear!
Everyone laughs, because lets face it, this is chocolate we are talking about and I want something deliciousness now with not having breakfast or my morning fill of Shane. A girl has got to compensate, right?
I get in the dress before Jovi and Lola get to work on my hair. They finish drying it out and then curl it in loose curls to where they hang down my back. Lola walks to my small box of hair clips and pulls out two nice looking clips. They pull the top half of my hair back and place the clips in my hair.
I work on a light tan eyeshadow, to help make my eyes pop more. Forgo the rest of the makeup though.
Lola slips into the bathroom and changes into a summer dress. I seen Mom and Gram already had their dresses on. As for Jovi he has on dark jeans and a nice button up shirt on. Something I know Shane is doing too, having forgone the tuxes for the wedding. I like it though, Shane will be more in his element and I wouldn't force him in a suite.
"I am headed down stairs. Samual is here and ready when you are sis." Lola hugs me tight.
Jovi holds his arm out for me. "May I walk my best friend down to her future husband?"
"Of course. I wouldn't have anyone else do it but you." I smile at him and put my hand in his elbow.
"Do you know what your going to say for your vows?" Jovi looks to me.
"Yes I do. When Shane mentioned that at dinner last night, I had to jump at us doing our own vows. I am going to let my heart take over and speak for itself." I smile.
Jovi opens the door and I see Gram and Mom stands off to the side with all my fur babies. Each one of my boys has on a little bow tie, in place of their normal collars.
"You boys look so handsome." I let go of Jovi to pet on my babies.
"You're absoutely stunning, sweet girl." Mom chokes out.
I stand up and she pulls me in a hug with Gram.
"I am so proud of you little one." Gram smiles softly at me.
"I wouldn't be doing this or even here today, if it wasn't for you Gram. You always knew just what I needed to hear and listen too." My eyes water.
"No tears. Make up will run ladies." Jovi fans our faces, making us all laugh.
"Down we go Densea. We will let Shane and Samual know she is on the way out." Gram takes moms arm as they walk down the stairs.
"Go ahead with Gram." I point to the boys but they stay with me.
"I think there is a better idea, these boys are wanting to do for their mom." Jovi smiles looking at all four fur babies.
