Had to be His

09, Rehearsal

Melody:

I woke up this morning in tangled in Tristen's arms. I remembered I had asked Tristen to stay but our clothes were on so I didn't think we did anything.

I sat up to look at Tristen's face, his eyes slowly opened. "Good morning" Tristen said in a tired raspy voice. It was sexy

"Good morning" I said blushing at him and laying back down.

"We get married tomorrow" Tristen said "Omg your right I totally forgot" I said sarcastically.

"Was that sarcasm?" Tristen said while sitting up and moving one hand over my shoulder to be on top of me.

I looked up at his eyes blushing. "Maybe it was" I said quietly.

Tristen looked down at my body then back at me and grabbed my waist.

I was caught off guard, I stayed silent for a moment. I started to talk "Tristen-" but before I could finish he ran his thumb over my lips.

I held eye contact with him for a moment before looking down at his lips.

Suddenly he quickly pulled off of me and cleared his throat.

"I'm hungry" Tristen said breaking the awkwardness. "I'm going to have the maid bring us up some food" he said.

He went downstairs leaving the door cracked. Leaving me extremely confused of what just happened.

Tristen came back upstairs and got in bed. There was an awkward silence.

Before he could even say anything there was a knock at the door. Tristen got up to open it and a maid came in with our breakfast.

We ate our giant breakfast in almost complete silence. He put some music on the tv before sitting back down.

Eventually Tristen realized the time and had to go work. He quickly got up and got ready for work. Then left.

It was now around 2pm and people were starting to fill up the house to get ready for tomorrow. The wedding wasn't happening at the house but we were preparing for it.

Tonight was also the rehearsal dinner that was happening at the home we had to prepare for.

I was upstairs just combing my hair when I heard my moms voice in the hallway. "Mom!" I yelled in excitement and ran down the hallway

We ran into a huge hug and just stayed there for what felt like forever. " Oh my I missed you sweet girl!" She said well cupping my face.

"I missed you to mom" I said giggling. "Well let me not interrupt, go finish getting ready my love I'll see you in a bit" she said beaming with joy.

I went back into the bathroom and finished my hair and make up. I'm not sure why but I really wanted to see Tristen.

I didn't like that. I had to not get so close to him. I finished my final touches.

I put on a cream white dress with white heels and a bow in my hair. I felt pretty.

I went downstairs to greet the rest of my family and help them set up. It was so nice to see them all again.

After about two hours we got the house looking stunning. There was a ballon arch and a giant wedding sign. It was perfect.

I went back upstairs to touch up my look when I heard the bathroom door open. I turned around and saw Tristen leaning against the bathroom door.

"Your back" I said as I walked up to him. I'm not sure why but I had butterflies in my stomach.

"I'm the boss and I get to make the rules so I left early." He said while undoing his tye and looking at me. It was sexy. Really sexy.

I started at him with awe as he unbuttoned his shirt. "Melody?... Melody!?" He said a few times trying to get my attention.

"Hm um yes sorry." I said while blushing. "My eyes are up here" He said while smirking and lifting my head up to meet his eyes.

He leaned down and slowly and whispered in my ear "You look nice" making me blush. "Thank you" I said softly.

He laughed and said "I have to take a shower, why don't you help finish up downstairs"

Still flustered I went down stairs and saw Tristen's family arrived. "My future sister!!!!!" Tristen's sister, Courtney said while running at me and hugged me.

I laughed and said "Hi, it's so good to see you!" Tristen's parents then came up and hugged me.

"Tristen is just going through the shower and he'll be right down" I announced just before Tristen walked down the stairs and kissed me cheek.

"Hello everyone" Tristen said to his family. "Tristen so nice to meet you" my mom came in interrupting and hugged Tristen.

"Tristen my mom, mom Tristen." I said introducing them to each other. "Lovely to meet you" Tristen said politely. I could tell he didn't liked being touched. Although he didn't seem to mind my touch.

"We're about to let the guest in so go back upstairs and be ready for your entrance" his mom said hurrying us upstairs.

Tristen took my hand and we headed up stairs. We decided to wait in the room until we were called down.

"Are you nervous?" Tristen asked while I sat on the bed bouncing my leg. I shook my head yes in response and Tristen put his leg on my thigh.

The warmth of his hand put a shock through my whole body giving me goosebumps.

"I barely touched you and your already falling for me" He said slowly moving his hand up my thigh.

I just rolled my eyes in response, but to my surprise it made him keep moving his hand up. We locked eyes and I raised my eyebrow up slightly, questioning what he was doing.

He kept his eyes locked on me and smirked as he slowly reached the line of my thong. I slowly gasped as the warmth of his fingers grazed my heat.

Before Tristen could make another move there was a knock on the door. "There ready for you" a maid said through the door.

Tristen sighed and removed his hand. Leaving me beat red and took his hand in mine as we headed for the stairs.

I glanced down the railing and saw a mix of family and friends, as well as a bunch of people I didn't know, who I'm assuming are part of the mafia from the guns in there waist bands.

I gripped Tristen's hand a little tighter. " are you nervous?" He asked me. I shook my head yes, he then moved his lips behind my ear and whispered "Trust me"

He led me down the stairs as everyone clapped for us. It was overwhelming so I just tried to let Tristen do the talking.

A man handed us a mic as we reached the bottom of the stairs. Tristen took it and spoke "Hello everyone, we want to thank you all for coming. Please enjoy the prepared food and sit."

Almost like an order, everyone listened immediately. We took our seats at the head of the table. Our parents on either side of us.

Honestly I had so much. Most of the dinner I catch up with my family, and Tristen's family.

After dinner we had thanked our guest and all walked them outside. Sooner or later it was just Tristen and I.

I wasn't sure how I felt about sleeping in the same bed as him the day before the wedding but part of me wanted him there.

We watched a movie and fell asleep half way through. I snuggled up to his warm skin, and happily fell asleep.
