the light in his dark

Epilogue

"Ladies and Gentlemen, here comes the dance with the parent" Someone announces in the mike

James stops dancing and closes his eyes shut "fuck! I'm sorry Wedding. I forgot to tell them to cancel this tradition" He growns

"Hey" I take his hands "It's okay James" He looks down at me "Go dance with your mom. I'll go sit with Kellie" I smile reassuringly

"Wendy I'm not letting you alone. Specially with this dance" He says stroking my hands with his thumbs

"I'm asking you to dance with your mom" I say "Please"

He hesitates for a long time but eventually nods against his will. He kisses my forehead and presses his lips against it for a long time. I rest my hand on his cheek so he can feel that I'm really okay with this

I go on the tip of my toes and kiss his lips. I pull away and watch as his mother grabs his hands and starts dancing wiht him

It's been hours now that we are celebrating our wedding with our family and friends. Everyone watched us cutting the wedding cake, they watched us doing our first dance and they watched us sharing our love to each other through our eyes

I just couldn't look away from him at all. I'm pretty sure that in every picture people took from us there will be my eyes on him.

Kellie, my savior, distracted people so I could sneak away from guests and put my other shoes on. I swear James must massage my feet tonight because I won't be able to stand in any way

With sex and because of those shoes coming right from hell itself

I'm sad to not dancing with Stephen of course but I'm happy to watch James dancing with his mother. It's been a long time the last time they saw each other so I'm happy they have this moment together

I smile when his mother talks to him. I keep smiling when they both look at me, I just watch his eyes looking into mine like no one does. He doesn't smile but I know the look he has on his face and it's better than anything else

"May I have this dance ?"

I snap out of my thought and look beside me. James's father looks at me with a smile and a hand between him and I

I give him a genious smile and take his hand

"You made a beautiful wedding Wendy" He nods looking around. His hand meets my lower back and I take his free hand and wraps my fingers around his

"Thank you. It means a lot" I smile

"They would've been proud of you. Of what you've become." He looks at me "I am" He finishes smiling

I smile at him before looking around us. People are watching us and smile. It's crazy how everyone smile in a wedding

At one point James and his mother are dancing right beside us. Little freak, I know he did it on purpose

"are you stealing my wife ?" James asks at his father making me smile. His father laughs and shakes his head "I'm not but you surely are stealing mine right now"

James's mother laughs too before, I don't know how, we switch partner and I'm dancing with James now.

The power the Morettis men have is incomprehensible and pationant

"I'm proud of you my little boy" Ma tells me while caressing my cheek

I swing us around and she easily follows my steps "Thank you mother but as you can see I'm not a little boy anymore" I chuckle
