It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

E3 & Dress Fittings

We're now back at Mike's place for the week, or well until Friday. It's well into the morning and we're all awake and hanging out outside on the roof around the pool, until I take a look at the time.

"I think we should get going to the dress fittings."

"Yeah." Aly agrees, after looking at it herself.

"And don't worry, we'll be back before you and I have to get to E3." She says to Mike.

"Alright." He nods, squeezing her hips gently.

"One thing before you go though..." He adds, and she looks at him curiously.

He just grins and leans in, kissing her gently.

"Mmm...love you too." She murmurs once he pulls his lips away.

"Same to you. I'll be back and we'll have more of that alone time that you can't quite seem to get enough of." I add, turning to Alex.

"Sounds good." He smiles and kisses me.

Then I get up from sitting on the edge of the pool, and follow Aly inside. We grab our purses and head out to the place. When we get there, Ethan is there to greet us like last time.

"How're you feeling?" He asks Aly cautiously as we walk back to the fitting area.

"I'm feeling good. I shouldn't have any mood swings this time, at least I hope not. I've had a few weeks to come to terms with how much my body's going to change so I should be okay." She replies.

He nods as we reach the fitting area. This time I let Aly go first, and she walks in to put her dress on. A couple minutes later the curtain slides open. She's standing there and looking at the dress in the mirror from different angles.

"So how does it fit?"

"Better."

"That's good."

She nods, biting her lip.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

Her eyes get watery and she fans her face.

"I'm okay."

"Another mood swing?"

"Maybe." She sniffles.

"But a totally different emotion."

"It's not a type of sadness is it?"

"No, no." She shakes her head.

"Well at least it isn't that. Happiness perhaps?"

She nods, still trying to control the tears.

"It's really hitting me that I'm seriously getting married. I mean I know I've been married for four months already but this is the real deal wedding..."

"Awwww." I smile.

She walks over to me and hugs me tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be standing here this happy."

"You're welcome." I reply, hugging back.

She pulls back and fans her eyes again.

"Must not cry."

"But they're happy tears...happy tears are alright."

"Right." She laughs, wiping some of them away.

Then she heads back in, closing the curtain behind her and she gets changed back into her clothes. She comes out and sits down, letting me go in. She chats with Ethan while I'm changing. After changing I slide the curtain across and I walk out, looking in the mirror for what's gonna be the last time.
