Mysterious Marriage

Chapter 27 - Revealed

Amilee's POV:

I couldn't believe the things I was witnessing. Tate, big, tall, and intimidating was before me actually acting a fool and letting loose. He was being silly and dancing with me, ignoring everyone else around him. This was so not like him, but I loved that he actually was showing me this side of him.

He trusted me.

I felt overwhelmed by the joy and happiness that was filling up my chest. I felt so overjoyed that I felt as if I was going to burst. With Tate here and actually enjoying himself with me it actually felt like a real date. A true date.

A real marriage.

I watched him as more music continued to play, all upbeat and making me want to keep moving. With his challenge presented after his lawn mower, I couldn't help but go with it. I quickly thought of one and acted as if I was pushing a grocery cart at the store, and grabbing items off the shelf and then putting them in my cart.

That's when it heard it. A new sound. One that I had never heard before and I never wanted to stop hearing.

Tate threw his head back and laughed. A real, big, full laugh.

The love that arose in my heart made it hard for me to figure out what to do. I was stunned and wanted to smile, yet I wanted to cry, but I also wanted to do something to make him do it again. Such mixed emotions was so powerful I knew I had officially lost my heart to this man.

The laugh slowly died down, but the biggest smile I had seen was still planted on his face. His once distant blue eyes were now a warm sea blue and welcoming. Tate reached out and wrapped his arms around my waist, giving me butterflies. "Come here crazy woman." His strong body pulled me against him and I reacted by throwing my arms up and around his neck as much as I could.

It was here that we both just moved together with the music.

A new song came on. It was a bit slower, so we followed suit. "Remind me not to have you give me dancing lessons." his deep voice lightheartedly told me. I gasped lightly back in return.

It is harder when you love beyond belief

Tate gave me a soft look of adoration. "We should go visit your mom though. I would like to thank her for giving birth to an amazing woman."

But I'm a fool to let you go

I couldn't help but allow my eyes to water a bit. The words taking my breath away for a moment and speechless. Was he serious? "If you are okay with that, of course."

So this is for you my love

I smiled at him and nodded and I finally found my voice again. "I would like that. A lot."

We will never, we will never have a change of mind

This man was different from any other I had ever met. This man was the real deal. What I needed.

We belong together

A sudden flash went off right next to us and it both caused us to turn our heads towards the reporter who had just taken out picture. He pulled his camera down and smiled brightly. "Mind if I get another shot of you two lovebirds?" he asked. Tate looked to me to make sure I was alright with it. I nodded. We both turned and wrapped an arm around each other, looking at the camera. A flash went off.

We will never, we will never be the weary kind

The reporter had taken our picture and allowed us to go back to what we were doing. It was nice that they weren't pestering us as much as I thought they would be. With this whole 'Mysterious Marriage' they kept posting about, it seemed that already after being in the public eyes tonight, we had proven something to them.
