Strong (Book 2 in the No Control series)

Chapter 32

Sara hands me a note from Liam, I grin.

"Oh my goodness. You two are so cute, it's sickening." Sara whines.

"You don't even know what it says."

"It doesn't matter. I can tell from the look on your face that it's adorable."

We all laugh.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road people." Caroline orders.

I am then inundated with several people, doing my hair, my makeup, checking my nails.

Karen stops in to check on me. "Now do you have your something new, something old, etc?"

"Oh no, I forgot to finish. The only thing I have is the old. It's a bracelet that belonged to my grandmother."

"Don't worry, sweetie. Look this is from Liam, it can be your new." She hands me a gift box. Inside is a pair of exquisite diamond earrings. "They're perfect."

"Knock knock. Is everyone decent?"

I grin. "Yes, Harry, come on in."

He looks me up and down in my robe. "Hmm, a slight improvement from earlier. Keep working on her girls." Harry smirks.

I kick at him, but he moves too quickly. He laughs, and I am happy to see the sparkle in his eyes. I'm glad he's enjoying teasing me today.

"Here's another note from Liam." He hands it to me.

"So you still need something borrowed and something blue." Karen insists.

I look around the room.

"Here." Harry takes the blue ribbon hair tie off his wrist and slips it on mine. "That's both blue and borrowed. Because I would like it back." He winks.

"That won't look very nice on her wrist." Sara pipes up.

"Well then she can wear it on her ankle, or wrap it around her bouquet." H replies.

"The bouquet, I like that." I say.

Harry smiles. He waits patiently as I read Liam's note and write one in return.

Liam's note says:

'Hey Beautiful,

I've got a great idea. How about we get married today?"

I love you,

Liam'

I smile. Oh my sweet Liam.

'Hey Handsome,

I like how you think. Let's do it!

Meet you at the gazebo at 3.

I love you more,

Liz'

I fold the note up tight, handing it to Harry to deliver.
