Swimming in Stars | Byron Langley

twenty two

"Oh my god," I yelled and dropped my stuff. I ran to the couch and threw myself over the back. "It is so good to be back in England."

"We were only gone two months." Byron laughed and leaned over me.

"I still missed being here in England." I smiled.

He leaned down, pressing his lips against mine. I giggled as he pulled away.

"Okay, please, not in front of me." Joe said as he walked into the kitchen.

"I can't help it." Byron said. "I love her."

"Alexis! Jesus Christ get your ass up." I heard as my eyes shot open.

I looked over and saw Jackson shaking his head.

"What's wrong?"

"Your mom is getting married today and you're still in bed." He said. "You need to shower and we need to go to the church."

"Right," I nodded and pulled myself off the bed.

I went into the bathroom, pushing the door shut behind me. I pressed the door shut, placing my back against it. I took in a deep breath and let it go. Byron said he loved me. It was just a dream and I knew that but what if he really did? Would Joe really be that cool with us being together? Hell, was I even going back to England after this?

I let out another breath and turned the shower water on. I pulled my clothes off, dropping them to the floor. Byron and I didn't matter today, my mom and Andrew did.

After the church ceremony, we were at the venue. I was stood in my mom's dressing room, watching her stare into the mirror.

"Mom," I smiled, "You're married."

"I know," She smiled, "I don't even know how to feel."

"Fell happy," I said and hugged her from behind. "You deserve it."

"You should probably get out there." She said. "Get in some dancing before we make our entrance."

"I don't dance." I smiled.

"You do tonight." She smiled. "You better dance with your boy."

"I don't think so." I shook my head. "I don't want Joe catching on."

"Catching on to what?" She asked. "You guys aren't anything, right?"

"Not officially." I said.

"Then get your ass out there and dance with him."

"Alright," I smiled and kissed her cheek.

I walked out of the room and down the hall to the big venue room. I could hear History by One Direction start. Once I got inside, I searched for Byron and found him dancing with my mom's mom. I let out a slight laugh and walked over.

"Can I cut in?" I asked.

My grandma looked over at me.

"Of course," She said, "I don't know a thing about this jazz."

She pulled away from Byron and walked away. Byron took my hand, spinning me around. I laughed as he pulled me closer to his body.

"How's your mom?" He asked.

"She's good," I nodded, "She's an emotional wreck."

"So just like you?" He laughed.

I hit his chest slightly with a smile.
