not everything is rainbows.

36 // Wedding (2)

Alyssa stood by the door as Pops came over. He teared up and said, "I'll always be your old man. I have a very special wedding present for you.. see me after the honeymoon."
Alyssa smiled and hugged Pops, "Okay, Pops.. ready?"
He wiped a single tear and said, "Yes baby girl."
Alyssa nods as Scott walks over. His tie was a bit darker than my dress and he had on a regular tux. He made it look so good, the way it was loose, but just tight enough. His dress shoes looked much different than my plain feet. His usually messy hair was somewhat slicked to one side. He looked even at least an inch or so taller. It wasn't usual for him, but it was adorable. He looked me up and down and smiled a wide smile. Oh god, I've missed the warm smile and the laugh lines and the pearly white teeth and only one lopsided dimple.
It makes me blush and smile as Alyssa says, "Scott, take her arm and walk to the pastor, then go behind Sky. Rachel, you leave space for me and stand at the opposite side. Hurry!"
I nod as Scott as he takes my arm. The sparks are noticeable. As the music starts, we walk, facing forward.
Scott bends over and whispers, "You look so beautiful, Ray."
I shake my head, "That's all you, Scottie."
I see him smile out of the corner of my eye, and he says, "I'm really sorry. Let's talk this out after the dinner. Meet me by diner doors, okay?"
I nod, but say nothing, because now we're arriving at the alter. I unlink my arm from his and face him. He swiftly kisses my head. I feel heat radiating from my cheeks as I turn away.
I walk to my side of the alter and look at Sky, who is smiling and tearing up at Alyssa, who is proudly strutting with her head up high. I smile at her, and watch as she steps on the alter and faces me. We quickly hug and I wish her good luck before she turns around and faces Sky.
The preacher says what he needs to in order to get paid then ends with, "You may kiss your bride." They have a sweet, long kiss, full of love. I craved for that and by the way Scott was looking at me, so does he. Sky and Alyssa walk off as people throw rice and blow bubbles at them. As I look into the crowd, I see everyone. Regulars at the diner. Momma and Pops. Sky's extensive family. Scott's sister and niece.
I smile as I walk to Scott and reconnect our arms. He bends over and huskily whispers right into my ear, spreading heat and the words, "Don't let go of my arm." I offer a nod and try to swallow the lump in my throat.
After formal greetings, Scott and I walk to the opposite side of the shore. I immediately rip away my hand and pour out everything I've thought about, "Oh my god. Why would you leave? Was I not good enough? What happened that night? What's going on with you. Why is your sister here? Can I do anything better?" I draw in a breath as my lip quivers.
I feel a few hot tears as Scott sits down on a rock. I sit a few feet away. He sighs, "Rachel. Just.." He draws in a sharp breath, "Listen.. I really really like you. You don't even know. I miss you. I miss your touch. I miss your hugs. Please. I left because I didn't want to admit how much I like you and how much you've started controlling my life. It's tough to say but I like you a lot. I like your smile and your height, you're a head smaller than me. I like thinking about our future and I like your face. I like your freckles, they look so strategically placed all over your dainty pale body. I mean, how are you so pale? I like it! You look like a porcelain doll but I'm getting sunburned! How are you so perfect, Rach. How do you fuck me up like this? I regret leaving and miss waking up to your beautiful face. Please, please, please take me back!" At this point, his breath quivers too. He doesn't stop though, he finishes with, "You're more than enough."
With that.. I break. I stand up and he does too. As soon as I run to him and he catches me, I throw my lips on his and it's magic. All of the butterflies explode as salty tears pour onto our sweet lips. He tastes minty and sweet. Like a Andes bar. I savor the taste and slip my tongue into his mouth, exploring what I call mine now. My legs hug his hips and his arms held me by my rear. My stomach has fairies cheering us on. Eventually I plant my feet on the soft sand. After a few more seconds, I depart my lips too. I smile and hug him, saying, "I missed you."

Quick Note ; This is my first story, I hope it's not cliche or something, but so far I like it.
