Falling For You In Cape May

THIRTY ONE

Maine

"RJ! Get your hands off her!"  Stacey cried. "You're eating off her makeup!"

RJ is unabashedly giving me a lip locking kiss in front of all the female entourage. We are all waiting for Audrey who is inside the bedroom having her photos taken.

Today is  a very special day for me and the Hanson's, because today is Audrey's and Steve's wedding day.  It's a very beautiful Autumn afternoon and everyone is happy.  The sun is shining and everything is perfect.

Stacey smacked RJ on the shoulder and he reluctantly released me, his face looking so despondent.  I laughed at his expression.  He looks like a five year old whose candy was taken away.

"Oh, you crushed your boutonniere," Stacey whined as she repinned the flower to RJ's lapel. "Now go! The groomsmen are gathering at the library. You're gonna be late for the pictorial." 

RJ was given a part as a groomsman, since one of Steve's friend have some personal issues to take care of last minute. He looks so handsome in his gray tuxedo, one hundred percent debonair.

"Shoo, you're not even supposed to be here!" Stacey hauled him over with a wave of her hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, sheez!"  RJ raised his arm up in surrender, but before leaving, he drops another kiss on my lips.

"Ugh! RJ go!" Stacey whined again. Since Stacey found out that I am pregnant, she took over my Maid-of-Honor duties for the actual wedding day.

Everyone in this family is babying me. Audrey, Stacey, Dawn and John, even Matt and Steve are constantly asking me, how I am,  which was so heartwarming at first, but after a few days, for a pregnant woman whose hormones are constantly changing, it is utterly annoying.

RJ love it though, because he has been so over protective of me ever since the doctor's appointment, and by him and the Hanson's being on the same page, I am ganged up!

He has been extra clingy too, always touching and kissing, that I will not even complain about because I like it when he's like that. I actually crave for his clinginess, and the oddest thing is that I am yearning for his smell. I love smelling him, and I love poking his dimples.  When it comes to food,  I am developing a loving relationship with French Macarons.  Ugh!  I love them. 

RJ told me one time that there is a Tagalog term for it. I forgot what it was since it was too long and too hard to say. It has something to do with my cravings.

We already went to my second doctor's appointment, and all is well. Right now I am eight weeks pregnant.  I am not showing yet, and I am glad, because I was still able to wear my very beautiful Maid-of-Honor dress by Monique.  I love how I look today.  The make-up artist did a very natural make-up and my hair was pulled up in a bun with messy tendrils.

When RJ saw me for the first time wearing my dress,  I saw him staring and licking his lips.  I guess that is also the same reason why he just gave me that no holds barred, lip locking kiss.  He just couldn't help it. He never saw me in a gown before, and it got me to thinking, that most likely than not, I will be wearing more red carpet worthy gowns soon too when I accompany him to awards night and formal showbiz gatherings. I wonder if someone is going to style me, that is so right up my alley.

"Maine!"  I heard Audrey yell from the room,  yanking me out of my reverie.

"Yes, Audrey, the most beautiful bride?"  I said, walking towards her inside the bedroom she's using as her dressing area.
