Chapter 18
Tricia’s POV
Today is the day I will marry Danny! I cannot believe that Daniel is actually going to marry me today. When I think back to how much of a player he used to be I have to admit it does worry me. What if he gets bored with me? Then I smile, thinking about a few nights ago when we made love for the first time. The way he took his time, his tender touch caressing down my skin, his hot kisses leaving scortching tracks in thier place, and gentle words of love he whispered against my cheek as he made us one. Fanning myself, I try to stop thinking about the other night before my makeup melts off.
“What has you smiling so wide and if it’s anything sexual with my brother please do not tell me,” Jenn said. This caused me to laugh so hard I nearly cried.
“Well let’s just say we can’t talk about it then,” I tell her enjoying the way she looks grossed out about the whole thing. She scrunched up her nose at me.
“Ew, that is totally gross! I don’t see what you see in him but I am glad you do, because now we get to be sisters,” she said effectively changing the subject.
“It’s time,” Dhira said as she peeked in the room.
“Okay,” I said. Standing at the back of the church waiting for the double doors to open I looked to daddy. He was standing there tall and proud.
“I love you daddy,” I said to him. He looked down at me and smiled.
“I love you too baby and just so you know if this boy doesn’t treat you right I will kill him,” he said still smiling, but I knew he was completely serious.
“I know daddy. I think we are up,” I tell him as I hear the wedding march play. We walked up the aisle toward Danny and every step seemed to take forever as I prayed that this would hurry up before he changes his mind. Danny looks so handsome in his tuxedo. I have never seen him so dressed up before and he was staring at me like I was a prized jewel. This increased my confidence as daddy stopped walking.
“Who gives this woman to this man,” the preacher said.
“About that preach, give me a minute huh?” as daddy said this all the blood drained from my face. No! Please don’t mess this up for me daddy!
“Boy, I am going to tell you here and now this little lady here is my baby, my one and only child. God gave her to me and now I will give her to you. You should know that you are being given the best thing that ever happened to her mother and I. If you hurt her I will do the same to you,” daddy said low enough that the crowd couldn’t hear it, but the entire wedding party including the preacher heard it all. Looking to Danny I saw that he had a serious look on his face.
“Yes, sir and I do understand what you mean, now anyway. If any man were to hurt Chrissy I would do the same. I will treat her like my queen and do everything I can my whole life to make her happy,” he said.
“Okay preach, let’s do this,” daddy said loudly again causing the crowd to chuckle. The preacher smiled.
“Who gives this woman to this man?” he asked for the second time.
“Her mother and I,” daddy said with pride as he sat my hand in Danny’s. The rest of the ceremony went off without a problem. The reception was incredible; the food, the cake and the gifts were all more than I could’ve asked for. To think that this part of my life may have never happened if it hadn’t been for Natasha bringing Daniel’s Babe home to him.
============================================
It's over folks! I am considering taking Dante's cameo out of this book and giving him his own story. Would you want to read it?
