What The Body Wants

My Special Day

Chapter 70

Karyssa and I finished at the salon then we went to get our feet and nails done.  We sat next to each other and what happened this morning with Vincent was still on my mind.  At this moment I don’t know what to do.

“Karyssa let me ask you a question and I want you to be 100% honest with me.”

“Yes I think you are overreacting about the whole Vincent and Faatimah incident.  Yeah I agree he should have talked to you especially since it was communication that broke your first engagement up.  I really don’t think he was being sneaky or insensitive.”

“Listen Nikki, you and Vincent are great together.  I can see how much he loves and adores you each time he looks at you.  It would be a shame for you to cancel the wedding when it’s clearly meant for you and Vincent to be together.  I know you feel betrayed, but I believe him when he said he just wanted everything to be cleared up with Faatimah and Kevin so you all can live in peace.”

“I hear everything you’re saying Karyssa, but now I am second guessing his love for me.  I love him so much; I just don’t want to look like a fool in the end.  I don’t know I guess I’m just being stubborn, I don’t think I could live another day without him.”

“Then it’s settled, let’s get finished here so we can get back to your house and get you ready for this wedding.”

“Oh Karyssa I probably would have made a big mistake if I hadn’t opened up to you, thank you so much for being a friend to me.”

"You don’t have to thank me Nikki, the first week you and Vincent arrived I knew then that you were a good person and I really enjoyed talking to you and getting to know you.  Now that you and Vincent are getting married, we can see each other more often.”

Once our nails and feet were done we left and headed back to the house.  I couldn’t wait to get dressed and walk down the aisle and marry the man that I love.  After Kevin I didn’t think I would ever be able to love anyone again, but God gave me another chance to love and I won’t throw that opportunity away not for Faatimah or Demetri.

I ran in the house and grabbed my mother and hollered for Italia to come with me upstairs.  I quickly pulled them into the guest room and told them the good news.  It was already 2:00 and I had two hours before it was time for the ceremony to begin.  I ran in the bathroom and took a shower so I could start getting dressed.  Since it was my wedding day, I put on a black lace bra, with black lace panties and thigh high stockings.  I put on my robe and walked out in the room and jumped when I heard Vincent’s voice.

“Oh shit Vincent what the hell, why are you in here?”

“I’m sorry baby, I heard your voice and I had to come and see if you were back for good or if you were coming back to call off the wedding.  I guess I was just scared.”

“I had some time to think about what happened and I realized that I may have overreacted a bit, but I was still pissed off because you didn’t trust me enough to come to me and explain the situation.”

“I know sweetheart and I regret not talking to you and telling you what was going on.  I was a coward and very stupid.  I swear on my life that I will never do anything that will make you upset or make you lose faith in me.  I have never felt so helpless in all my life and to lose you would kill me.”

“Thank you Nikki for not walking away from me, for loving me still and I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you.  I love you more than I will ever be able to express to you in words.”

“Ok, ok, save all that for the wedding now get out so I can finish get dressed and you should go and get dressed too so the wedding starts on time.  Go, get out, and don’t make me call Italia and Lorraine in here to kick you out.”
