Love
(v.) A set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion and commitment. It involves care, protectiveness, affection, and trust.

I have always dreamed of this moment for as long as I could remember. I didn't know it would be her at the time but I damn sure happy it is.

Looking at her right now as we both smile, holding each other's hands. The officiate was speaking but neither of us were listening. She looks so beautiful right now, I can't even fathom how in loved I am right now.

"I do" she says making my smile grow brighter. She squeezes my hands gently making me lift our joined hands to my lips, placing a soft kiss on the back of hers.

"You're so beautiful" I mouth to her and she blushed profusely, looking away from me.

"Where do you see yourself in ten years?" Maeve asks me as we lay down on the fake grass of the football field. School ended about a hour ago and we didn't want to go home so we decided to come to the field.

I pondered the question before shrugging my shoulders as my eyes stared at the clouds above us. "Hopefully married but like rich. I want to be so rich that I become one of those bougie neighbors." I laugh making Maeve smile beside me.

"Really?"

I nod my head and sigh. "I want to have enough money so when I decide to have kids I know that they are going to grow comfortably. I don't want them growing up wondering about their next food or some shit." I tell her as I sit up, bringing my knees to my chest.

"That's good" Maeve says sitting up as well. "Because I ain't trying to be working sugar mommy" I look at her like she crazy making her burst out laughing.

The fuck she just say?

"Girl I ain't about to be your damn sugar momma" I tell her kissing my teeth as I shake my head no.

She laughs harder and I just stare at her ass. "I'm just playing." She says and wraps her arms around my shoulders, kissing my cheek. "The rich life sounds nice though."

"And what makes you think we getting married?" I joke even though I kinda like the idea.

She shrugs her shoulders with a smile. "Because you like me too much not to marry me." She teases before giggling to herself.

I stare at her with a smile on my face before shaking my head. I smash my lips against hers and tangle my hands in her hair.

"You right about that."

"I do" I say and Maeve looks like she's just about ready to jump my bones at this point. I smirk biting my lip as I think about our plans tonight.

"...I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride." I grab Maeve by her throat and smash my lips against hers hard. She gasps into the kiss and I slid my tongue into her mouth without a second thought.

Maeve grips the jacket of my suit in her hands, pulling me closer as she kisses me back. I could hear the cheers of our friends and family making me smirk against her lips. I pull away for a second before pecking her lips.

"Hi wife" I whisper to her making her giggle softly. She stares at me with love in her eyes and wraps her arms around my neck.

"Hi wife"

We turn to face everyone before I lift Maeve in my arms. She gasps in surprise as I stare her down the aisle bridal style. I smile as everyone claps us on. My eyes find my mother's where she stands a few feet away with tears in her eyes.

I thought she was going to reject me but she didn't. She stood by my side and walked me down the aisle with a proud smile on her face. I gave her a big hug afterwards and almost started crying. No one wasn't expecting her to actually come but I'm damn happy she did.

My dad didn't show, no surprise there. I honestly didn't give a fuck about that man anymore. I was sick of letting him bring my spirits down. I wasn't going to let his absence ruin the best day of my life.

I put down once we reach our limo and she climbs in after waving at everyone once more. I climb in after her and instantly my lips find hers. "I love you so fucking much" I don't hesitate to tell her causing a grin spread out on her lips.

"It's always been you" She mumbles staring into my eyes.

"I now present Mrs and Mrs Lovett!"

Maeve and I rush out as our friends and family clap and cheer for us. Maeve had the biggest smile on her face as I pull her into my arms once we reach the dance floor. My lips find hers and she grins into the kiss before kissing me back.

Pulling away, I stare into her pretty eyes with a smile on my face. "Dance with me?" I ask her lowly making her giggle but take my stretched out hand.

"Of course."

Music began playing and I held Maeve's hand as my other wraps around her waist. We stared into each other's eyes as we began to move with the music.

We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings the sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you

I lift my wife's hand and spin her around in a circle before swiftly bringing her back into my arms. She wraps her arms around my neck loosely and grins up at me, pecking my lips as we sway.

"Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs" I sing with the music and Maeve's eyes began to tear up making me gently kiss her tears away. "Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around" I continue to sing, pulling her closer as she lays her head on my shoulder.

And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

"You're my forever" I whisper to Maeve as we sway to the music. "It's always been you and will continue to be you. I love you so much baby and I will spend the rest of my life proving that to you."

She sniffles against me and lifts her hand to wipe her tears. "I don't know what I would do without you Divine. You are like a light burning through my darkness." She tells me softly, her eyes meeting mine.

Though relationships can get old
They had the tendency to grow cold
We have something like a miracle
Yeah, I'll stay with you

"I will forever love you Maeve Lovett."

She grins and leans up to gather me in a sweet sensual kiss. "I will always love you Divine Lovett." She whispers against my lips before deepening the kiss.

Always
