Stilettos in the City

Chapter Eight

"You look great in that, Liz!" Sadie complimented.

"Thanks! Do you need any help with your dress?" I asked walking towards her. Her wedding dress wasn't white but it was really pretty. It was black, everything was black. I know that sounds depressing, but it really was beautiful.

"I'm good, thanks." She said trying to reach her zipper.

"Are you sure?" I asked, watching her struggle to zip up the back.

"Okay, yes. I give up on this stupid thing." She said, sighing. I laughed and walked over to help her. Once I zipped her up she thanked me and had her other bridesmaid, Brittany, help her with her veil. I walked over to them.

"How do I look?" She asked as she spun around.

"You look beautiful. I doubt I'll look any better than you on my wedding day." I complimented.

"This wedding is going to be awesome!" She said excitedly.

While they were saying their vows Caden and I kept looking at each other and I kept blushing. Ah, romance. Isn't it a lovely thing? After the wedding Caden and I found each other while the bride and groom were having their first dance.

He looked down at me, "May I have this dance?" He asked, smiling.

I laughed, "Yes, you may." We joined hands and began to slow dance. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"So, are you enjoying yourself so far?" He asked as I raised my head up to face him.

"It's beautiful. I hope my wedding will be memorable like this one." I said laying my head back down on his shoulder.

He mumbled something, "I'll have to keep that in mind.." I don't think he knew that I heard that. We just swayed back and fourth for what felt like forever. I was starting to fall for him, hard. Maybe it's just my hormones but I have a feeling Caden is the one I'm meant to be with.

After we danced we made our way over to the buffet. We made our plates and sat down at a table.

"This food is delicious." I said taking another bite of it.

"Yeah, it is." He said taking a sip of his drink.

"It's a good thing that's not alcohol because I do not feel like driving tonight. We'd just sleep in the car." I laughed.

He laughed, "I'd never make you drive just so I could drink. I'm not big on alcohol anyways. You won't ever have to drive me home, unless I hurt myself." He said.

Once we finished eating we danced one more time. I was beginning to feel tired.

"Hey, Caden?" I asked tapping his shoulder.

"Yeah?" He asked turning around.

"I hate to ask you to leave your sister's wedding, but I'm really tired and you're my ride, so can we leave?" I asked, yawning.

"Yeah, of course. Let's go say goodbye, then we can go." He said as we made our way to Sadie and her husband.

"Hey Liz!" She said giving me a hug.

"Hey Sadie!" I said hugging her back then we both let go.

"Hey, sis. We just wanted to say goodbye because Liz is tired." He said.

"Okay, that's cool. Thank you both so much for coming." She said smiling.

"You're welcome, I had a wonderful time. It really was a magnificent wedding. Congratulations, newly weds." I said.

"The wedding was awesome and memorable. I hope you guys have a great life together." Caden said giving his sister a hug. Then we left. Once we got home I slid off my heels, yes I was wearing heels, stilettos to be exact, my favorites. My feet were a little sore, but not to bad. Only time I'm wearing stilettos during my pregnancy.

"I'm telling you, you shouldn't have worn those." He said, shaking his head.

"Shut up. I'm stubborn like that." I said.

"I'm going to get going." He said kissing me.

"Alright. I'll see you, Caden. Drive safe." I said hugging him.

"I will. Bye, Liz." He said leaving.

"I love you.." I mumbled.

I made my way to my bed and watched a movie. I couldn't fall asleep but I was exhausted.

"Ugh! Why can't I get comfortable?!" I had been trying different positions for an hour now.

"This is starting to make me mad. You know what? I give up." I threw my hands in the air and sat up.

I rubbed my stomach, "I wonder what you're doing in there.." I said as I continued to rub my stomach gently. I then grabbed my phone and texted Caden, hoping he was up. He tended to stay up late sometimes.

"Hey. Are you up?"

"I am now. Can't sleep?"

"Nope. I've tossed and turned every way possible."

"You want me to come over?"

'Aww how sweet..' "You'd do that?"

"Yep. I'm awake now so, I could come and cuddle with you, maybe you can sleep like that."

"Ok. I'll see you in a few."

"Bye."

"Bye."

I sighed and went into the living room. I heard a knock at the door and answered it.

"Hey. I hope you don't mind, I didn't feel like changing." He said looking down at his clothes.

"You're fine. Thanks for coming." I said as I moved out of the way so he could enter.

"It's no biggie." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, it's very sweet of you." I said as we walked into my bedroom. We sat on the bed and talked.

"So, wanna talk about the baby names I've been thinking of?" I said trying to keep the conversation going.

"Sure. What would you name the baby if it was a boy?" He asked.

"Max or maybe Jacob." I said rubbing my stomach.

"What if it's a girl?" He asked looking down at my stomach.

"Hmm. Alice or Marie." I said making eye contact with him.

"Those are good names." He complimented.

"Thanks. What would you name the baby if it were a boy?" I asked.

"Chase." He said.

"Any other ideas?" I asked.

"Possibly Liam." He said.

"I like the name Liam, I'd consider it." I said thinking.

"If the baby were a girl, I'd name her Jay. No other names. Only Jay, I love that name. Maybe Lacy. But I like Jay better." He answered.

"You ready to try and sleep?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said as we began to lay down.

We cuddled and I laid my head on his chest. I thought about the wedding and what my wedding would be like if I got married to Caden.
