The next day
Ava greeted the nurses as she walked into Rich's room she smiled as she saw him drinking apple juice
" hey love " rich said once he saw her come from behind the curtains
" hey baby "
" you wasn't lying when you said you'd be up here as soon as you open yo eyes " rich joked
Ava laughed as well she stood by his bed in her pajamas her her was in a sleek ponytail
She couldn't sleep without rich she liked to be in his skin when they slept
" I'll be out of here tomorrow I been making calls while I been in here " rich said as he looked over at ava she was staring at him she couldn't believe that she could've lost her boyfriend in the blink of an eye
" what type of calls "
She just wanted to be married to him she wanted to move away & him to leave the streets alone
But rich couldn't do that until he found out who shot at him
" marriage plans "
" we can get married Friday "
It was currently Tuesday
Ava nodded her head
Rich had saint pick out a ring he was going to ask Melissa could she take ava dress shopping it was going to be a private wedding just his folks & ava peoples
Ava was happy she met rich her last relationship wasn't the best but she was glad it happened it pushed her into saints arms
" you know I love you right I never felt this way about a girl you make a nigga smile even when I'm laying in a hospital bed " rich expressed
Ava nodded her head taking it all in
" I love you too you pulled me out of a dark space I don't like the way you did it but overall I'm happy you did it "
Ava still didn't like that they killed her ex who she was deeply inlove with but she needed to get away from him he abused her cheated on her & he didn't love her the way she loved him
" I apologize for that As well I could of waited a few months I know that broke yo heart but I had to do what needed to be done " rich spoke
Ava only nodded her head she forgave him a long time she just didn't like the fact that they did it
" so mr . Rich it seems like you'll be discharged today in a few mins but you'll have to do physical therapy three days a week & take your meds until your Wounds heal " the elderly doctor spoke as he read his charts
" I appreciate you doc " rich responded
The doc gave him a small smile before he exited the room
••••
" so I can my mind I want a private wedding just me you saint Melissa & the parents " ava spoke as her & rich laid in bed it was silent & dark they were just talking
" so you don't want a big wedding that's what you saying "
" yes we don't know who even shot you yet it's not safe to have a big wedding "
Rich simply nodded his head but smiled now ava was thinking like him
" Ight whatever makes you happy it's your day & we gone get Melissa to help you pick a dress "
" I don't want anything to flashy I just want a nice long white dress & I want my hair did nice " ava ranted
" and I want lots of flowers pretty flowers at that I want them all different colors I want the wedding to be colorful but I want to wear white & everybody else can wear pink & blue & green I also want to push it back until you can Atleast walk right I don't want you using crutches to stand up " ava went on & on
Rich looked over at her
" so you wanna push it back for that or is it something else " rich felt that ava was having second thoughts as she went on about the wedding
But in all honesty ava wanted rich to be at his best it was also his day too she wanted forver with him she wanted him to be just as happy as she was
" what are you saying "
" I'm saying you wanna push it back but just a few days ago you was willing to marry me while I was in the hospital bed or was you just saying that to make me feel better " rich questioned
" no I'm inlove with you I just want you at your best because the wedding day won't be all about me it's about you too it's about us becoming one with each other "
" Ight " was all rich said he understood now & he didn't want it to become an argument
" mhm " ava mumbled
Yawning ava reached over turning off the lamp that sat on the nightstand never to her
" goodnight "
" night I love you " rich responded
" I love you more " ava mumbled as she dozed off
" girl I'm so happy for you you'll finally get to have your happy ending " Melissa told ava as they walked around the boutique ava was currently looking for a wedding dress
Rich was with saint picking out rings for them
" thank you I'm finally marrying the man of my dreams I feel so safe & secure with him & he loves all of me he adores me I've been looking for that in my last relationship " ava expressed as she looked at a long white silky gown
Reading the price it said " $1,100 "
" I wanna try this one " ava said as she took it off the rack going into the dressing room
Sliding on the dress ava fell in love it fit like a glove she felt like it was made for her
She spun around in it smiling
" this it the one " she said to herself as she slid it off putting on her clothes she put the dress back on the hanger
" I want this one " ava said as she approached the register
" I hope all is well ma'am & I hope you liked everything you saw " the old black woman spoke as she rung ava up
" thank you have a nice day " ava said as she grabbed her bag holding the door for Melissa to walk out
" bitch I'm hungry let's stop by checkers " Melissa said turning down the music
Two girls from a night club living a fairytale ava thought
