I open my eyes and see Winston's sleepy face less than an inch away from mine, somehow his unconscious hands made their way around me into a cozy cuddle and I ended up freezing in place not knowing what to do, so I just lied there for a while and watched him sleep as he clung to me which I find myself doing quite often, I loved how peaceful and calm he looked asleep on the contrary to when he's awake and on a 100% energy boost. He was perfect either way.
As soon as Winston's eyes began opening he loosens his grip I slowly return to my original position before he notices.
"Get up get up we have to get going" I hear Ted knocking on my door and knocking on the next room and the one after. Winston stretched along with the weird noise we all make while stretching and looked over at me.
"morning Sargent" he said with a raspy voice.
"morning Marshall" I stifled a laugh and sat up as he did the same.
"My arms are asleep" he whined shaking his arm.
I turned my head to look at him "Probably because I was sleeping on them" I shrugged and he returned a confused look.
"..um..yeah I..you were kind of.." I struggled to form a proper sentence and began doing random hand gestures of a hug awkwardly.
"Oh shit, sorry I wasn't aware" he chuckled nervously running his hands through his fluffy hair and I smiled not saying anything.
"Well I better get dressed" I got up and so did he.
"Alice?" he said right before going through the door.
"yeah?"
"um..thank you for letting me sleep here last night you are..really great" he chuckled moving his hands nervously.
"anytime Win" I smiled and he nodded and left.
I don't know why I was upset. Was it for all those little comments he made like 'I can sleep on the floor' or 'I'm sorry for hugging you', as if those two weeks we spent every minute of together only happened in my head.
Or was is because I was too big of a coward to ask him the question that has been running through my head for the past month.

"Alice you ready?" i hear Jemima shout from across the room
"yeah just a second" i shout back standing infront of the sink taking a final look at myself, thank god Jemima is the same size as me or i would've been screwed.
"hair up or down?" I ask Jemima pulling my hair up in a ponytail.
"down" she said putting on her earrings.
so I brush my hair down into its natural wave, grabbed my purse and we headed down the lobby where the boys were.
"aww you guys look too adorable look at you in your suites and ties!" I pouted pulling out my camera, "scoot closer" I motioned with my hand looking into the viewfinder. They all obeyed with wide grins and I took a photo.
"don't you look handsome" Jemima told Ben giving him a kiss.
"You look great" Marcus told me.
"why thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" I elbowed him lightly.
I see Winston struggling with his tie, he looked so handsome but so miserable to be in a suit which made me laugh.
"here let me help you" I walked over to him and started tying his tie.
"thank you" he chuckled "I look like a fucking joke dont I?" he laughed
"what are you talking about you look so handsome" I pinched his cheek and he gave me a wide childish grin.
"don't you look amazing" he exclaimed holding my hand and giving me a little twirl "oh..and especially the backside" he joked.
"shut up" I pushed him away laughing.
"the car's here" Ben announced and we all got in.
Ted was driving, Marcus was sitting shotgun and the rest of us squeezed ourselves in the back so Ben and Jemima were sitting next to each other and leaving me and Win sitting butt to butt.
"this is cozy" Jemima said looking at me.
"a little too cozy if you ask me" I said and I felt Winston's eyes on me, I look at him and we share a smile.

After we all greeted the couple, Winston dragged us to the open bar where we stayed for a while till Marcus, Ted, Ben and Jemima left us early.
"You are not making me drink again" I laughed.
"look at me! if I have to be in a fucking suit the least you can do is let me buy us a drink" he laughed as well.
"fine just one" I gave up and let him buy us what was supposed to be just one alcoholic beverage.

Next thing we know we were running upstairs laughing like children walking into random rooms.
"in here!" I whisper-shouted and pulled Winston into the wedding suite.
"I have a feeling we shouldn't be in here" Winston whispered back laughing.
I played the music player on the table and put my hands up and started dancing by myself and a few moments later Winston was joining me, we looked completely ridiculous.
"someone's coming turn it off" I panicked, Winston rushed to turn the player off and we ran in the closet laughing hard.
I turned around and faced him "why did you apologize this morning?" I demanded an answer.
"I.." he began stuttering.
"i mean is it that bad being with me that you have to say you're sorry for placing your arms around my back" I began acting out the hug and apparently couldn't shut up "I mean for a whole month I've been waiting for any move for anything Winston and you just left me hanging there waiting" I rambled on.
"Alice.." he said calmly.
"don't Alice me" I poked his shoulder strongly and continued talking a blue streak.
he sighed heavily and pushed his lips on mine.
"if you think kissing me will.." I pulled away "will you just shut up!" he interrupted again and kissed me again, I tried fighting it off and carry on rambling but gave in, he gave me two soft kisses before looking into my eyes.
"ok?" he said with a soft smile and I nodded.
I didn't know what he meant but all I knew was I loved him. Yes, Alice Burr is capable of having actual human emotions and even she was surprised.
