I Wont Forget you (Sequel to Ride The Wind)

Chalter Seventeen: Liss

"You wanna get married, Liss?" Rikki asks me and I smile.

"Yeah." I smile and Andy's step mom lights up.

"I'll go call your family." She says as she walks out.

"Oh Christ, I have family don't I?" I mumble and Andy grabs my hand.

"You gotta put this on." She pulls at the dress.

"I'm gonna wear what?" I wonder and Luca grabs my other hand.

"C'mom honey, we gonna make you pretty." They pull me off.

"Jesus, I look dumb." I look at myself in the mirror.

"You look beautiful." Andy tells me as she steps up beside me.

She wears my jeans and Poison shirt now. It's lucky we're the same size. That sick feeling washes over me again and I run for the bathroom. Thank god for Chuck Taylor's. Andy holds my hair and Luca stands in the door.

"Gonna talk to Rikki about it?" Andy wonders and Luca's eyes grow.

"You knocked up?" He wonders and I look down.

"Kinda." I admit and Andy hands me toothpaste and a brush.

"Told you I had a plan." She smiles.

I brush my teeth and Andy tells me it's time to go. Luca smiles as we get to the door and my dad stands there in camo, boots, and grease paint. He smiles.

"We were out hunting." Dad tells me as Andy and Luca go into the room. "Your brother and cousins look about the same."

"Good god." I smile.

"Alyssa, do you love him?" He wonders and I nod.

"I can't live without him." I say. "I love him more than life itself."

"He make you happy?" Dad asks.

"Yes, daddy." I say and he smiles.

"Good, that's all I want. If the city slicker makes you happy than I'm happy." Dad admits. "Your mama would be so proud of you. Mama's Fallen Angel."

Yeah, pregnant and getting married. The boys wrote a song about Andy's and my mothers and us moving to LA.

We walk down the aisle and into the church filled with rockstars and rednecks alike. My Rikki stands at the end with the minister. I get to the end and he smiles at me.

"I'll still shoot you." My dad mutters to Rikki.

"Daddy." I complain and Rikki laughs taking my hands.

I don't even listen to the minster, I just smile and stare into Rikki's dark eyes. I love him, I love him like crazy. Then he starts talking, he doesn't have cards, he just talks from the heart.

"Alyssa Keira Lynn, where do I even start with you. I don't want to live in a world without you. I can't picture my life without you. Honey, that first night in the bar, I knew you were the perfect one for me. You've changed a lot since then, you don't turn red when I talk to you now so that's good. You're still perfect for me." Rikki smiles and I know it's my turn.

"Rikki, I can't even put into words how you make me feel. I feel like I'm flying when I'm around you. We've been through some pretty rough times and some really great times, there's only going to be more. I love you more than anyone has ever loved another. You're my one and only." I smile.

"By the power vested in me by the state of Alabama, I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss your girl."

Rikki picks up my face and kisses me. Everyone in the church cheers and Rikki pulls away smiling at me. I'm gonna tell him now.

"Baby, I'm pregnant." I say only loud enough from him to here and he smiles.

"I'm gonna be a dad?" He beams.

"Yeah." I smile and he kisses me again.

That was easy.

I love him.

Everything in this moment is perfect.
