His Redemption (MxM)

Epilogue

Luke

It's been approximately five months since Hewitt and I became official, and the past five months has been the best five months of my life in all my adult years
Our relationship isn't exactly rosy and all vanilla, but we've learnt to work through our differences, compromising for each other.
Like the time Hewitt decided to move down to Italy because of me, we tried the whole long distance dating thing but it was proving harder than we thought, so he decided that he would move down to Italy to stay with me

At first I thought he was messing with me, until he actually did move, I think that made us even closer, making our relationship stronger than before.

And Stefano and I did settle our issue, with the intervention of my mom of course.
Everything was going so perfect for me, and it all happened in the space of a year.
I reunited with my best friend, made new friends, fell in love with the most unlikely person, in the most unlikely circumstances, when I fell in love with Hewitt, I was sure my life was fucked, because there was no way he would want to be with me.

For one he hated me so much, two Hewitt wasn't always so accepting of the whole relationship thing, so it was a hard call for me, especially when he started turning me down, doing and saying things that broke my heart, I didn't think we would ever end up together, but then that night at the rooftop, when Adriano had set us both up, it was a memorable night for me, it marked the beginning of a stepping stone for not just me, but Hewitt too, and I'm grateful I went with Adriano that day to that date, if I had turned him down because I was angry for what he did to me, I probably would have missed my chance with Hewitt, and I would have regretted it

But anytime I tell Hewitt this, he always says, if we were meant to be together, one way or the other we would have found each other.

Now we're pushing five months together, and it has been nothing short of beautiful and amazing.
And today we were in New York, together, for Spade's wedding.
I promised him I'd come, and here I am.

I didn't peg Spade to be someone religious, but we were in a church, and Spade was standing at the alter waiting for Nate, I know he's trying not to show it, but I know he's fucking nervous, he keeps tapping his feet on the ground lightly, and the way he kept staring at the door, and glancing at his wristwatch, was a sure giveaway that he was fucking nervous and rattled.

The church wasn't crowded, just a few of Nate's colleagues, his sister, Stefano, Hewitt and I, Bernie and a few of Spade's men, and of course Spade himself.

He didn't have a best man, Matteo was supposed to be his best man, but Nate had asked him to walk him down the aisle, so Matteo was not here yet, probably escorting Nate from the hotel down to the church.
"He's fucking scared" Hewitt murmured beside me, his breath fanning my face, I turned to look at him, and he was looking at Spade.

"Wouldn't you"? I asked and he just shrugged, looking away from Spade, his eyes now on me

"If I were standing there, waiting for you, I wouldn't be scared, because I know you'll be here no matter what" he rasped out I bit my lips, looking back at Spade, he was fucking terrified, even Hewitt could see it.

"You think he's scared because he thinks Nate won't show"? I asked and Hewitt just gave me a pointed look.

"Why else do you think he looks so nervous"? He asked and I smiled

"I don't know, I've never been married before...." Stefano cut me off, leaning closer to me from the other side of the bench.

"Can you guys stop"? He gritted out, I looked at him and he was glaring at us both "you know he can hear you right"?
