everybody talks [COMPLETED]

twenty eight

"does anyone else object to this marriage?"

no one jumped up or answered and the ceremony continued as normal.

the later it had gotten, the more fun everyone seemed to have. i think it was mostly because of the unrealistic amount of alcohol being consumed, but maybe it wasn't. i had only had one glass of wine and pete had only had one jack and coke. we were 95 percent sober and still having an amazing time. the dance floor was flooded and it was finally time for a slow dance.

"this goes out to the newly wedded couple, mr and mrs taylor!" the dj yelled, amara and lucas both smiling widely at each other as they prepared themselves for the dance.

pete and i weren't on the dance floor yet, but we were very close. we happened to be speaking with one of pete's distant cousins named zack and his girlfriend, aurora, when the song started.

"get out there, you two, have some time alone," zack told us, nudging pete towards the dance floor with his hand.

"alright, alright, we'll see you out there," pete responded, taking my hand and leading me to a spot on the floor.

i put my hands on his waist almost instinctively. pete, being some inches shorter than me, had to reach a bit to put his arms on my shoulders. as we swayed happily to the music, i started thinking a bit.

what did i do to deserve to be here, in this moment, right now? why did pete choose me to take to this wedding, knowing he was going to be surrounded by his family? why is he dancing with me right now? what is so appealing about me to him? why did he have to be my work assistant in the first place?

i didn't really know any of the answers to those questions, but i did know the answer to this one: why am i here with him right now?

because i love him.

i don't want this moment to ever cease. i am my happiest when i'm with him and loving him. i know this is cheesy as fuck and sounds like it is right out of some wattpad story written by a 14 year old, but my life is set for now, and i'm not one bit angry about the way it's turning out.
