It's Always Been Godfrey ||ROMAN GODFREY||

Wedding Day -24

Today is the day. My mom was very quick at choosing her wedding dress with a budget of 3000. Overall the wedding costs around 28000 which Roman is very unpleased about since he didn't want this in the first place.

I pull up my puffy red wedding dress and look over to my mom who is having her makeup done.
"Wow, mom, you look so beautiful," I mention placing my hand on hers.
"Thank you, darling. Uh, miss? When is my daughter getting her makeup and hair done? You do know she deserves just as much as me, yes?" As she says that I feel guilt flood over me realizing how selfish I am.
"When I have finished working with you, ma'am," The woman smiles.

I walk down the Isle with my mother's arm wrapped around mine, her dad passed away a few years ago so I have the honors. I smile at Roman as he gives me a discrete dirty look so no one in the crowd could notice. I stand up on the platform next to Jasmine, who I cried to and spilled my heart out to after apologizing to her over and over again. I think she forgives me.

On the other side stands Jaxon and Cam, who I feel very awkward around right now.
The pair say their vows and my mom slightly hesitates on the 'I do' but comes around. Then comes Roman. He hesitates even worse than my mom, I know this isn't what he wants but it's for the best, I mean, look at the hope in my mom's eyes. A shot at happiness once again.

He opens his mouth.
"I d-" He gets cut off by the church door being busted open and a manic screaming man.
"I object!" He shouts storming down the Isle as security follows after him.
"What the fuck is he doing here? Who told him!" My mom shouts letting go of Roman, of course, that man is my father.
"Julia, I love you, I'm so sorry for walking out on you, baby, I don't want this for you, please, be with me, you deserve better, you deserve a man," He holds my mom's waist as she doesn't fight back, instead she doesn't do anything, she just stares into his sorrow filled eyes.

I look at Roman with a hidden smile and he instantly catches on.
He walks down the stairs to the Isle as everyone in the Church whispers.

"Don't you dare touch me," My dad says to him, and he doesn't, he doesn't say anything. Instead, he takes off his bow tie and suit and then hands them to my dad. Everyone gasps as my dad takes it and my mother looks shocked.

"Have the wedding, Julia, I know you're in love with him, and I don't mind," He smiles with the most empathetic look I've ever seen on his face. Who is he right now? This isn't the Roman I know, but I like it.
"But Roman-" My mom places her hand on Roman's shoulder.
"Julia, wanna get married again?" My dad says taking her hand.
"Uh- Sure," She smiles at Roman while he gives her a nod of approval.

Then the wedding goes on, my parents get married for the second time... Although, they never got divorced. Honestly, they have the most fucked up relationship I've ever seen, it's like a story, and my mom is just so blinded by my father's love that she would do anything to get that back.
It's quite poetic really.

After the ceremony, I find Jasmine and her family, I go over to them and give them awkward smiles.

"I have so much I wanna say..." I look at Cam and he smiles.
"It's fine, I'm over it, Jasmine told me," Cam places his hand on my upper arm.
"Are you sure? I've felt so bad," I reply.
"Positive, besides, I have a girlfriend now," I raise my eyebrows and he laughs.

"Okay, enough speaking to my brother, Alison, I've missed you! I'm sorry for being a bitch to you at school, and I'm sorry for being too stuck up to text you first!" Jasmine pulls me in for a tight hug.

"Oh, Jasmine, I'm just glad you're not mad me," I laugh as she pulls away.
After talking to the siblings and their parents for a while I go to find Roman, who is helping himself to the Whiskey at the minibar.

"Roman," I smile cheekily.
"You smart-ass girl," He smiles back. "How did you know?" He asks.
"It's quite simple really, I just found my dad on Facebook and told him about the wedding, and the only reason I wanted you to have it in the first place was because I knew he would show up, they were each other's first love, and you can never run away from that," I bow after my little speech and he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Roman!" I whisper as I look around to see if anyone is looking.
"It's okay, you're 18, and your mom and I aren't together anymore, plus she just got married again, it's a win-win," He smiles and I let out a sigh.
"Woah, what?" Says my mom's voice approaching us and my heart drops.
"Mom, hey," I try to play it cool when I turn around after Roman lets go of my waist.
"Since when are you two a thing?" She asks and my dad shortly shows up with a glass of Bourbon.

"Oh I went to find him after the Ceremony and we talked out everything and we kind of just... Hit it off," I give him an unsure look because I'm worried she won't buy it.

"Oh, cool, don't hurt her feelings Roman, only her insides," She winks before walking off hand-in-hand with my dad leaving me with a red face.

"That was easy," Roman says pulling me into him with my back still facing toward him.
"Roman, I've just realized how weird this is, you've had sex with my mom. She knows what you feel like, did you not just hear the comment she just made? And, the only reason she's not flipping out is because she's hammered," I try to keep my cool as I turn around and look up at him.

All he does is laugh and then kisses me, I'm not used to this, it doesn't feel right, kissing Roman in the same room as my mom.
"C'mon, let's get out of here," He drags me with him to his car and then starts the engine.
