not everything is rainbows.

37 // Their Wedding (3)

Scott and I walked to the diner, hand in hand. My fingers fiddled with his and it was clear I was nervous. As if our kiss was written all over my face, I felt like everyone would know. Now don't get me wrong. Scott isn't anything to be ashamed of. Actually, I wanted to scream that I kissed him. But, I didn't want to steal Alyssa's thunder. So, when Scott opened the door for me, I took back my hand. When he was visibly upset and shocked, I said, "Don't think that." I grab his face and continue, "Just until after the wedding. I don't wanna dull the excitement of their wedding with this."
He nodded, "Roger that."
As I walked in and he followed, eyes were on us. It's not everyone. Actually, Sky's family looked like we were disturbing their dinner. Alyssa, Sky, Momma, and Pops were staring. I smiled at Scott and waved. He went to talk to one of the guys, Rodney. He looked sorta like Sky. But as soon as I reached Alyssa, Mom, and Pops, the questions poured.
"Are you guys a thing?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were in love?"
"Dearie, you look so smitten!"
That last one was Pops. He was such a sweet old man. I actually love him. He's like a dad to me. I sure do miss my parents. But it's faded somewhat, as long as I keep my mind full. I shake my head, "Talk later. Right now we've gotta eat these mac and grilled cheese sandwiches."
The small sandwiches were wedged onto a shot glass. The shot glass was filled with tomato soup. The insides were macaroni and cheese, but the outsides were crispy toast. It was like a bite of heaven. That was only the appetizer. Then, we all got a plate, full with steak (all medium rare), mashed potatoes, and a small salad with cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded carrots, cheese, ham, and an optional egg. It was so good. Then we all got a small glass of ginger ale, which was a mouth cleaner. Then Momma came around and poured coffee, and Scott's sister poured in cream. When she came to me, she said, "Meet me after this dies down."
I nod and she offers a smile. It's pretty fake. Then we got the cake. Oh my god. When Alyssa went to cut it, she shoved a piece in her mouth. What she couldn't fit, she smothered on Sky's face.
When everyone was done with cake, (which was heaven) Alyssa came up to me, "We're clubbing. You should come." She was with Scott's sister.
I nod, "Sounds good, Scott going?"
Alyssa nods, "Yeah. It'll be Autumn, you, Scott, Sky, Rodney, and I."
I smile, "Yeah, wanna get changed?"
Alyssa nods and says to Autumn, "We'll be down soon."
Autumn smiles, "Okay! I need to privately talk to Rachel later, so let's hurry."
I raise an eyebrow and she looks at me. I shrug, "Okay." As I turn off to walk upstairs, Scott appears behind me. He puts his hands on my waist and I stop.
As he's hugging me from behind, he whispers, "Don't talk to her without me, okay?" I shiver. His husky voice is so close for the second time today. This time his hands are also keeping a firm, yet gentle grasp on me. I smile as red fills my cheeks.
I turn around and peck his cheek, "Okay." He lets go and falls into a deep blush. I smile and with a wink, I walk off.

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