Chapter 73------------------------------------------------------------------------

"do I look ok?" Jordan said once again fidgeting with her veil.

"you look beautiful" Alex assured with a smile.

Jordan gave a happy smile.

"this is gonna work out right?"

Alex put her arms around her friend and hugged her tight.

"this is going to work out. You're going to have a happy life together."

Jordan sighed.

"I believe you, your dress looks good on you."

Alex looked down at her crazy dress and forced a smile.

"have you seen Luke yet?"

Alex looked down and shook her head.

"not yet, I don't even know if he's coming. I haven't talked to him today"

At that moment the wedding march began inside the church. Jordan swung her wide eyed vision toward the door.

"it's time" Alex smiled

Jordan's hands were shaking as she smoothed down her dress.

"I'll see you out there" Alex winked.

She pushed open the church doors and nearly dropped the rose bouquet in her hand. Luke was at the front of the church sitting next to Kate and Collin. She quickly jerked her eyes away from him and concentrated on putting one foot in front of the other. When her and the rest of the bridesmaids made it to the front of the church everyone turned and smiled waiting for Jordan's big entry.

She came out looking beautiful in white. Max's loving gaze followed her all the way up the isle. When she made it to the front they both stared into each others eyes. The pastor made a motion to Alex saying It was her time to sing. Alex's stomach did a sickening twist as she stepped over to her stool with the microphone and guitar. Her gaze brushed over Luke as she situated her guitar around her. She took a deep breath, started to strum and locked her eyes on Luke.

"I am insensitive I have a tendency to pay more attention to the things that

I need.

Sometimes I drink to much, sometimes I test your trust, sometimes I dunno

Why you stay with me?

I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I

Stood where you stood

I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve

It but I love that you love me. goood

I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball crashing into your heart like I do

You're like a Sunday morning full of grace and full of Jesus I wish that I

Could be more like you.

I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I

Stood where you stood,

I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve

It but I love that you love me. Goood

Love me good

you've given me a million second chances and I don't ever wanna take

You for granted.

Hard to love, hard to love, oh I don't make it easy and I couldn't do it if

I stood where you stood.

I'm hard to love, hard to love and you say that you need me, I don't

Deserve it but I love that you love me. good.

You love me good."

Their eyes stayed connected through the entire song. His face broke into a beautiful smile knowing she was singing that song to him.

She lowered her eyes as the applause broke loose and resumed her bridesmaid position by Jordan. She tried listening to the vows but kept finding her eyes wondering back to Luke. His eyes were staring at her, burning with intensity .

After the service everyone gathered in the fellowship hall of the church for the reception. Alex barely got to speak to Jordan because of everyone surrounding her.

"you did great sis!" Kate squealed when she seen her.

Alex laughed and hugged her sister.

"thanks" she said while eying the tall figure behind Collin.

"your song was beautiful lo- er ms. Rogers"

Alex blushed at his almost slip up.

"thanks Mr. O'Grady. I'm glad you liked it."

"aye.. That I did"

They really tried to stay away from each other for most of the reception. They both denied dances to anyone else but when Luke excused himself Alex didn't wait long to do the same.

She lost sight of him down of the long hallways. She crossed over heading toward the dark back entrance of the church when an arm reaches out and snaked around her waist.

A hand slammed over her mouth in mid scream.

"shhh" a deep voice purred in her ear.

Her body instantly relaxed into his grip.

"that's an awful dress lass"

"I'm aware. You look handsome though" she said turing to face him.

"the song... Was it for me?"

"it describes me pretty well" she said with a shrug.

He cut off any further conversation by capturing her lips. She accepted the kiss eagerly pressing her body into his. He took a few steps back pressing them farther into the dark corner.

"I love you" he whispered.

"I love you " she echoed.

"be mine" Luke said shakily brushing a kiss over her lips.

"I'm already yours." she said closing her eyes and leaning in for more. Her lips met air.

And when she opened her eyes Luke was down on one knee in front of her holding a still closed black velvet box.

"no... I mean... Really... Be mine?"
