Second time is a Charm

Chapter 30

                 

Brett Di Camillio

I held her tight as we swayed to the music on the dance floor in the wedding. Cris had her head resting on my chest, making me feel calm and content . I wish time stilled and I could hold her in my arms like this forever.

I looked down at her as my hand slowly slid from the back of her shoulder to her waist, and to her lower hip. She had her eyes closed but, she smiled as soon as she felt my hand move.  She titled her head and looked up at me, no words were spoken, but as I looked into her chocolate brown eyes, my heart swelled , my breath hitched and I felt myself drown in the love she was displaying through them.

I pulled her closer to me bending to kiss her neck and take in her sweet smell of lavender.

I wanted to show her, that I wasn't frightened or appalled with what people had to say about her. She was nervous the whole night, she kept glancing at me every few minutes as she confronted Gale and Eleanor. I don't know, what she expected from me, but nothing that anybody said bothered me. I know my Sunshine, and she was not what these people believe her to be.

I was so proud of the way she handled everything, so calmly, there was no shouting, screaming, throwing stuff, or any abusive language. I think that behavior of hers, riled Gales even more. He kept looking at her with longing in his eyes and a hope she would come back to him. Something tells me, he still loved her, And I was not happy knowing that.

I can't wait anymore, I wanted to give her a little more time and not suffocate her, by pressing my needs, but after seeing Thomas yesterday and Gale today, I needed  to tell the world she was mine. I need to make her mine. 

The music came to a stop, and the DJ changed the tone of the night with a more peppy song.

"Shall we call it a night Sugar" I whispered into her ear, as I led her out of the dance floor.

She bit her lower lip and gave me a seductive look, "Your tone is changing Brett"

"Well that dress is too distracting ....... I want to rip it and taste your creamy skin" I said, roaming my hands on her arms. She stumbled a little letting me know, I was affecting her.

"Give me 5 min, let me say bye to my AUNT AND UNCLE, then I am all yours" She said, lust evident in her eyes.

"Meet me in the front, I will call Johnson to get the car" I said as I kissed her and left.

I went back to the table, got her stroll, and purse. Eleanor, sat there with her friends, sulking and Gale was no where to be seen.

"I wouldn't trust her , if I were you" Eleanor said

"Aren't we glad You are not me." I replied.

As I turned to walk away "Really, then why is she cozying up with Gale. She still wants him. " she sneered, pointing at Cris and Gale talking to each other.

It actually looked the other way round. Gale was explaining something animatedly, and Cris replied with a small smile shaking her head. I felt anger, at how close they stood to each other, I wanted to get her away from him and this town, but I know, Cris wouldn't like my interference. I had to calm down and think with my head and not my heart.

I saw Crystal, turn around and walk away but Gale stopped her by holding her wrist.He was touching her, oh no...I was fuming,  I am going to kill him if he left a mark on her skin,  I made a move to pull his hand away from her, but Cris looked at him with so much anger and disgust, he let go of her hand and she left. He stood back looking at her, with so much sadness in his eyes. I looked around to see Eleanor pissed off, and angry, seeing the whole scene with me. She turned red with anger, and walked away from the table.
