A Lucky Catch

Chapter 35

Lani's pov:

"Babe, please can I just come up for one second?" Corey whined from the bottom of the staircase.

"No, go away!" I hollered back.

"Here you go ladies. Lan you ordered a caramel macchiato right?" Tracye asked while handing us girls our starbucks drinks.

"Did you get it with raspberry? She likes it like that." Corey yelled before I could tell Trayce yes.

"Thank you genius, but yes I did get it with raspberry." Tracye yelled back down at my nervous fiancé.

"Thank you, you're a lifesaver." I said before sipping a drink.

"You look amazing Lani, and so do you my love." he said looking at both Layla and I.

"Trayce! Can you take a picture of her and show me damn it?" Corey said sounding frustrated as ever.

"No! Go away! It's bad luck!" I yelled for the second time now. "Is he completely dressed?"

"Nope, he is still in his damn Dodgers dri-fit shirt." Trayce chuckled. "I wouldn't doubt if he is going to wear it under his tux."

"Oh please make sure he doesn't!"

That boy is always in comfortable clothes, especially his Dodger gear.

"He's driving himself crazy. Alright, can you give us two, a couple minutes." I said earning weird looks from the both of them.

"Lani. Are you crazy? It's bad luck." Layla said freaking out.

"Oh shut up. He's stuck with me forever. There's no bad luck. Now let me see my soon to be husband." I replied.

They both looked at each other and agreed and walked down the stairs. As soon as they left I untied my robe so my lingerie was visible. I turned away so my back would face Corey when he entered. I heard his footsteps quickly come up the stairs as if he was as eager as ever to see me.

"Close the door behind you." I said as I heard his heavy breathing at the top of the staircase.

"I'll close my eyes if you want me to. I just want to hold you and hear your voice." He said sounding so vulnerable.

I turned around and sure enough he had his eyes closed, squinted shut.

"I don't believe in that bad luck crap. Once that priest ties this knot, you're stuck with me forever. So open your eyes." I whispered into his ear, earning chills to run down his body.

He placed his soft hands on the curves of my waist and centered me right in his vision.

"Alani, you look so beautiful." He choked out as if he was speechless.

"You look so beautiful my love. How did I ever get this lucky. You look amazing babe."

"You look handsome like always." I chuckled.

"I don't even have my tux on yet. You see me like this all the time." He smiled embarrassed.

"You look handsome all the time." I said dropping my robe. His eyes trailed down my body and he gulped once he seen the piece of lingerie I had on.

His grip on my body grew tighter as he brought me into his body. He dragged his finger across my lips and down to my jaw. He earned the chills from me right away. His finger continued down until it reached my chest. My scars were visible through the lace garment.

"You are the strongest person I know. You have faced every obstacle head on and you are going to make a fucking unbelievably great wife and mother to our future kids, that will probably be conceived tonight with the way you are looking right now." he said in such a soft and delicate tone and ending it with a soft smirk.
