One Kiss - Mayans MC

Part 12

Note: A little flashback scene tonight. 

Four years earlier

The room is pitch black and even though there are two of us in this massive bed, I feel like I'm here alone.

"It's not too late to run" I whisper into the dark

"I'm getting married tomorrow Cami"

"Yeah, well we could totally sneak out and get out of here if you want"

"I want to marry Miguel, I love him"

I sigh reaching for my friend's hand "is this life really want you want? To be a cartel boss's wife?"

She squeezes my hand "I've never been so sure of anything in my life" she says firmly

"Well this offer stands forever, you ever want out, I'm here for you" I say

"I love you" she whispers her voice quivering

"I love you too" I say rolling onto my side to look at her "What's wrong?"

"My mom isn't coming tomorrow" she whispers holding back tears "You're the only person I have left and I don't want Miguel to come between us"

"Emily Thomas, I promise you there is nothing that Miguel could ever do that would make me stop being your friend, we are family remember?" I say pulling her in for a hug

I feel her nod against my shoulder "You should get some sleep, you've got a big day tomorrow" I say smoothing her hair down, kissing her on the forehead.

"Goodnight Cami" she says rolling over

"Goodnight Em" I reply rolling over myself, I lay there listening to Em fall asleep, wishing sleep would come so easy for me but I lay there for hours before I fall into a restless sleep.

When I wake up the next morning I find the bed empty, I get up and open the massive bedroom doors, I see Em sitting in a chair getting her makeup done

"Good morning" she says spying me walking out "I thought I would let you sleep in a little, you looked tired"

"Thanks" I say sitting down in the chair next to her, a moment later Em's hairdresser appears behind me and starts brushing my hair out. She starts straightening it and an hour later she has wrestled my usually wild wavy hair into a sleek ballerina bun on the top of my head.

Em and I swap places and the makeup artist does my makeup, before I know it, it's time for me to get dressed, my dress is a deep oxblood colour and floor length, its form fitting all the way to under my butt and flares out into a mermaid bottom, I look amazing. I barely recognise myself when I catch my reflection.

Once dressed I help Em into her dress, she has a simple A line lace wedding dress it looks timeless and classic on Em.

I step back and instantly feel my eyes fill with tears "you look so beautiful Em" I say blinking rapidly trying not to ruin the makeup artists hard work

"So do you" she says embracing me, we stand in the middle of the room with our foreheads touching just holding each other. There's a knock at the bedroom door and the wedding coordinator walks in "Ladies, it's time for us to head downstairs" she says

The three of us leave the hotel room and walk to the lift heading down to the grounds of the resort, Em doesn't let go of my hand until we reach the gardens

Someone hands both Em and I a bouquet of flowers each, I take a deep breath turning to Em "You've got this" I pull her veil down and make sure her dress looks perfect.

"Positions please" the wedding coordinator says

I give Em one last squeeze of her hand and turn to the entry of the gardens, I hear the string band start playing and the coordinator nods at me, I step forward and walk around the corner. The first person I see standing at the end of the aisle is Nestor, our eyes meet and he smiles, I look away, focusing on Miguel, but the whole way down the aisle I feel Nestor's eyes burning into my skin.

Once I'm standing at the makeshift altar, I hear the wedding march and everyone rises turning towards Em, she starts walking towards Miguel, her face full of love.

The ceremony goes off without any issues and we head towards the ballroom it's a massive room overlooking the ocean. Miguel and Emily make heartfelt speeches about how much they love each other and how they are so grateful to all their friends and family joining them. After dinner Emily and Miguel share their first dance as husband and wife, it's like they are the only two people in the room.

I few hours later, I can feel a headache creeping into the base of my skull, I get up and go to the bathroom, I pull my hair out of its tight bun, smoothing my straight hair out around my face, I leave the bathroom, I pause at the entry of the ballroom watching the party go on around me. I need some fresh air so I head outside, I remember seeing a small courtyard off the front of the ballroom. As I walk around to the edge of the cliff I see some stairs which lead to the balcony/courtyard area. I walk over the railing resting my elbows on it, watching the waves crash against the beach below getting lost in my thoughts.

"Hey" a voice says behind me pulling me back to reality

"Hey yourself" I reply without moving

Nestor walks over to me leaning against the railing watching me

We stand there in silence, me watching the waves and him watching me

"Do you want to get out of here?" he asks me

I turn my head looking at him "In case you didn't notice but our friends are inside getting married, I think they might notice if the maid of honour and best man were missing"

"I don't think they even realise anyone is in there with them" he says, "Come on Cami, let's get out of here" he offers me his hand, without replying I slide my hand into his and we start to walk back towards the resort.
