Love Never Felt So Good

Chapter 9: An Unexpected Surprise

Chapter 9:

As the day of Liam & Hope's wedding came, excitement went through the halls of Forrester Creations. Everyone was eager & excited.

Except for two. Carter & Steffy.

On the day of the wedding, they had decided to go to his place & just hang out. They had chosen a couple of movies to watch, & Steffy had volunteered to make popcorn. This particular Saturday was going to be a great one.

As they sat down in Carter's living room & started watching Guardians of The Galaxy, everything felt right. Steffy was in Carter's arms as they were feeding each other popcorn, sharing kisses, & laughing at the movie's funniest scenes.

However, the sweet moment would get interuppted by the ringing of Steffy's phone.

"Do you think I answer that?" asked Steffy. "Maybe. Could be your father. I'll pause the movie," said Carter who then grabbed the remote for his Blu-Ray disc player while Steffy grabbed her phone out of her jacket.

"Hello?....Hi, Dad, how did the wedding go?.....really?.....oh my God, are you serious?!?.....wow! I can't believe this....well, I'll talk to you at work on Monday....love you, Dad. Bye," siad Steffy who then shut her phone off.

"What was that about?" asked Carter. "Hope left Liam at the alter," said a shocked Steffy. "Are you serious? I thought this was going to be it," said Carter. "I guess not," said Steffy. She then explained to Carter what Ridge had told her.

As it turned out, Hope had taken off her engagement ring & had sneaked out of the church. Maya had found the ring on a dressing table in the brides' room after Brooke had asked her to find out what was taking Hope so long.

Now Liam was left wondering what he had done to deserve it. Steffy knew that trust had been a major issue in his & Hope's relationship, & that she had caused it to be an issue because of her meddling.

Just knowing that caused Steffy to start crying.

Carter took her in his arms & held her close as she sobbed. He knew that her messing with Liam & Hope's relationship was something that Steffy would regret for the rest of her life. He just felt horrible for her.

"Steff......" he started to say. However, she looked up at him & put her finger to his lips. The she shocked him with these words:

"I love you, Carter."
