Can't we go back ?

Chapter 23

Adrenaline is a thing of  the past...

Our date goes well and we were able to sort out the guest list but we weren't able to figure out the groomsmen, either because they don't want to come or my friends and I haven't kept in touch over the past few years...

"Why don't you try use those gadgets of yourself and tack them down."

"It's not that simple..."

"Why not ? "

"Because I have to get confirmation codes and have my supervisor check on the codes... Blah Blah blah !"

"Oh come on, it's can't be that complicated."

"Guess what, It is !"

"Gosh, calm down, I was just making a joke. There are other ways of finding them, like social media for example..."

"I'll try that, but have you figured out your maidens ?"

"Of course, my friends and I have kept in touch..."

"Then you get your side done, then I'll find my old mates and see if they can come..."

She lifts her glass, so I do so as well...

"A toast to our success !"

"No, a toast to us !"

We strike each others glasses, and jugging down the rest of the wine. We sit as we drink our wine and look through the magazines of other weddings, wedding cakes and receptions. The night goes by so quick, with in a blink of my eye I was already paying the bill.

We strolled down the street of London... the same street where I proposed to her.

"Do you remember this place ?"

"Of course !"

"Good !"

She laughs at me for bringing the memory back, all I could do is smile and blush. She turns to me, looks deep into my eyes, she pulls me into a hug and begins to whisper...

" I love you Ryder."

" I love you more Estelar..."

She kisses me, we hold onto each other for dear life, she holds me around my neck and I hold her around her waist. Our love is strong and cant be broken, no matter how hard someone tries. We pull away and continue our walk.

We get to our apartment, I slowly unlock the door, she hugs me from behind, and as the door opens she forces me to turn around as she kisses me pushing me into my apartment, I hold her as we kiss and takes me to our bedroom...

Where we spent the rest of our night....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly get out of bed, not trying to wake up Estelar, her gentle, soft body laying there under the covers. I put my jeans that hang over my chair and buckle the belt around my waist.

I go onto the apartments balcony where I light a cigarette, I enjoy the feeling the tobacco gives me, it calms my nerves as I lean against the railing looking at the sun, as it raises in the distance, just behind the Big Ben tower.

The view is amazing because I'm so high above the world, I felt powerful, I felt stronger than ever, but I take a few deep breaths, kill the cigarette and I go back inside.

I go into the study, I pull out a few plans and I continue the plan out a few, what I thought was a pretty good idea, of a weaponised car.

I feel two soft hands come from behind me and pulls me into a hug, I feel her head rest on my back and her hair falls dont to my lower back, she lifts her head to rest on my shoulder...

"What you doing ?"

"Just drawing out a few plans I've made."

"How long have you been working ?"

"A few hours maybe..."

"Come back into bed !"

"I'm not tired though."

"I don't care."

She turns and goes around the table and heads out the door, she stops when she reaches the door, turning her head so I could barley see her face, winks, and drops the blankets that was covering her body then walks away back into bed...

Finally, I'm living the dream life I've always wanted, I have my fiancé, I have my well paying job, I'm keeping in touch with siblings, time to catch up with some old friends.

I make a complete 180 on my chair,  to face my computer, I open up some social media pages and start to search my friends names.

I first look for Tristan, he got married a few years back, to a beautiful, smart and short blond woman.

Then I look for David, he was sent to Australia for work with the animals, he needed to make a painting of kangaroos apparently.

Finally I look for Ace, he stayed back home, him and his girlfriend both opened a book selling company.

We made a group so we could find the rest of our team, we made plans to meet in front of our university where we all became the best of friends.

Finally we can become one again...

Finally, we can become family.
