My Promise, My Love (Book 3)

Uh oh

"You what?" My heart had stopped so this was the first words that popped into my head.

"You heard me."

"I heard you, but I don't believe it."

"Why?"

"Because this, it took you, it took you that long to say that? Come on Sam."

"What are you talking about?"

"If I knew I had to be engaged to have you come back to me, to love me, I would have gotten engaged sooner."

"I'm utterly confused. Why would you 'fake' marry someone?" I started laughing as tears came down my face.

"Clearly I'm missing the funny concept of all this." He said.

"I'm marrying someone I love and I love someone else too." My tears came faster when I admitted it out loud that I loved Sam.

"You still love me?"

"Of course." He walked closer to me and took my face in his hands. I hesitated and stood on my toes and kissed him. He kissed me back and I ran my hands through his hair as he wrapped him hands in my waist.

"Taylor? Is that you honey?" A voice behind me came and I jerked away from Sam. Thank god it was dark.

"Who is that?"

"Judy, Will's mother?" Uh oh.

"Honey who is that?" Judy asked, coming closer to Sam and I.

"Um, just an old friend. Who was leaving." I looked at Sam and he nodded. Judy and I watched him walk away.

"Handsome young man isn't he?" She said.

"Uh I guess." I said.

"Well, where is my boy? Is he inside?"

"Yes, come on we can go in together." We started walking up.

"Tell me, do you have your dress for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow?"

"That's tomorrow? Oh god, I totally forgot." I said.

"Yes dear. I'm sure you did. The bride always has the most to worry about. And do you know who you are walking down the aisle with?"

"Yes, I asked two of my friends to come with me."

"Which might that be? That young man down there?" God when are the questions ending?

"No, my friends Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky."

"With two?"

"Yes, they are the closet things to brothers. I couldn't pick one."

"Well that's nice dear." I helped her up the stairs.

"Taylor?" Will' voice came from the doorway.

"Here, I'm here." I said and we walked into the house.

"Mom! What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Coming to visit my son and his beautiful bride to be. Don't just stand there boy, help me up." He took her arm and led her and her suitcases into the guest room. While they were in there, I walked out to my friends.

"Where's Sam?" Cam asked.

"Uh, he went home. He didn't feel very good I guess." I shrugged and noticed that they kept giving me little sneak looks when they thought I wasn't looking. I wish they stopped.

*Sam's POV*
I pushed open the door to my house and immediately attacked by my dog, Bailey, and Camilla.

"Why didn't you text me? I was worried!" She said.

"Sorry, I had to make a stop at some old friends house."

"Who?"

"No one you would know. Just haven't seen them for six years I guess."

"Wow. Well I missed you." She kissed me and said,

"Sammy, you need to come home more often. I miss you."

"I know I'm sorry. You know with music and interviews and all that shit, I barely see anyone, including the Jacks." She gave me a pity smile.

"I'm going to go to bed. You coming?"

"I will in a couple minutes. I have to take care of something first." She nodded and went upstairs. I waited and got out my phone and texted Taylor.

Me-U going to get me into ur wedding?

I waited a few minutes before I got a reply back.

Taylor-No
Me-??
Taylor-Why should I?
Me-Cause I want to be there
Taylor-I guess should I invite your girlfriend too?
Me-Jack tell you?
Taylor-yep
Me-only if you don't want her there
Taylor-If I'm getting married, I can certainly handle your girlfriend
Me-please, I need to talk to u
Taylor-what about the day after tomorrow?
Me-Day before your wedding?

There was no reply after that. I guess I'll see her when I see her. I grabbed a wine glass and filled it with some red wine and finished it in one gulp. I put it down and went upstairs.

*Taylor's POV*
Everyone had left and I was waiting in the bedroom for Will so we can have our "talk". Sam texted me but I didn't want to respond after his last text. I shouldn't be messing around with him. Three days from now, I'm going to be married in front of all my friends and he was going to be there with his girlfriend. I have to forget. I rolled my neck in a circle and the door opened.

"Well, that was a nice crew." Will said. I nodded.

"You going to tell me now?" He asked and I nodded again. He sat next to me.

I opened my mouth and began the story.
