The Diaz Brothers

Beauty Is... -- Chapter 16

Ace and I said our "I do's" and Reverend Hale told Ace he could kiss me. We must've kissed for four minutes straight. The photographer probably had plenty of pictures of us. We finally broke and went to change for the reception. While we were changing I looked at him. "I love you so fucking much. I can't wait till we get where we're going." He said with a fire in his eyes and I looked him over. "I don't know. I think you might need to wait a little longer." I winked and he made a low growl like sound. "Are you okay to dance tonight beautiful?" I nodded. "I'll be fine." "I noticed you were limping so I just wanted to make sure. If you need to take a break at any point in time let me know and we can sit. I don't care who you're dancing with. I will steal you." "I will. I promise. As long as you promise not to tell anyone it's because I'm hurt." He nodded and I hugged him. While I was there he kissed me again and it lasted a long time. Long enough that someone came to check on us. "Hey! Come on! We're trying to have a party!" I grinned and we went to the door. "So are we!" I said to Anthony and he giggled.

Ace put his hands on my hips and I kissed his neck. "You're evil." He said and I winked. "Fight me." I said tauntingly. "Later you two. We have to go dance now." I smiled and Ace growled again. "You love me!" I said and he rolled his eyes. "Yes I do." We all walked outside and I could feel my leg giving out. "You should carry me." I said this happily and he knew it was a lie. "I got you babe." He picked me up carefully and I smiled. "What's it?" He asked me quietly and Anthony couldn't hear it because he didn't respond. "My leg started giving out. I'll be fine." "With an inch and a half deep cut I'd say that isn't true." I frowned. "Can we just focus on us please?" "I am focused on us. If you get hurt today then what am I gonna do tonight?" I giggled and he smiled. "That has to be the most beautiful sound in the world." I smiled and he kissed me. "Let's dance!" I said and he set me down so we could two step. We danced for a long while until I felt a small tearing sensation in my thigh. "Uh oh..." He frowned. "What happened?!" "I don't know. I heard a tear. And it hurts like hell. I think it's okay. I just need to sit down for a minute." I had bandaged it up really well and I wouldn't know if it bled until later. "Okay. We can do that. Come on." He picked me up and we went to sit down. "Get the speeches ready." Ace said to Anthony who had sat down a minute ago. "Speeches?" I questioned and he nodded. "Best man and Maid of honor always give speeches." "I didn't pick a best man. Did you pick a maid of honor?" I asked then winked and he shook his head smiling. "Yes you did Kin... Last night you made your final decision." "Oh yeah. Ryan." "Okay." He wrapped an arm around me and we listened to the two speeches but I couldn't think straight with Ace next to me and me on cloud nine. Ace was happy and it made me happy. His smile fueled mine and the fact that he was happy took the pain away from me for a while. "Are you having a good day?"

"Oh I'm having the best day beautiful. I got to marry the love of my life today." He answered me happily and I laid my head on his shoulder. "Tonight should be fun." I said this and he kissed me. "We'll discuss that when I don't have to look at my parents." "I don't have to look at my parents anyways." I said this and realized that made me even happier. I didn't have to deal with my family, Ryan doesn't count of course. "When do I get to take you home?" "After our honeymoon." I said jokingly and he rolled his eyes with a big smile. "You know what I meant Kinley." "When your mom says so." I said this and he nodded. "Mom!" He yelled and she walked over. "When do I get to take her home?" "Son... Really?" He nodded and she shook her head. "You can leave at probably 10:30. It's 9:50 now." He nodded. "Okay! I can live with that!" She rolled her eyes and walked away. She found Tommy and must have told him what happened because he came over and shook Aces hand. "Kid... You're just like me." Ace laughed and stood up to hug Tommy. I laughed and pulled him back down. "You're perfect." I directed it at both of them and they both winked at the same time. "Let's go dance." Tommy said and I realized they were saying they were about to play I loved her first.
