Wilder Dreams

Chapter 65

"Hey"
"Can you open your front door?"
"Um? Sure"

The door swings open. "What are you doing here?" She questions me smiling, we bring each other into a hug. I flew out to New Jersey last night.

"Can we talk?" I ask her, and she nods letting me into her house. I make my way to her living room. I play with the ring on my left hand. When I turn around to face her, I outstretch my hand to show her.

"Oh my god.. no" she walks over to me, and grabs my hand looking shocked at my ring. "Really?" She asks me, and I nod with tears in my eyes. She brings me into a tight hug.

"I'm so happy for you Sagey but what made you fly out over here" she asks me pulling away from our hug.

"My wedding day, is going to be amazing. It's not the celebration that gets me, it's the fact that I get to marry Tobin. I mean we could get married right now if I told her, but I also want the sorta traditional thing." She looks intently at me. I take a deep breath because to me it's emotional.
"I want you to give me away" I let out, and her eyes are already shining, tears threatening to fall.

"You're my bestfriend Carlos, we have been through tought times but always by each others side. So I'm not only asking you to give me away to the love of my life, I also come to ask you to be my maid of honor." She pulls me in for a tight hug. I can feel her trying to breathe.

"I'm so honored" she whispers, and we finally pull away. Brian comes in, and looks at us worried. Especially seeing his wife crying. He walks over to us quickly, more like straight to Carli.

"What's wrong?"

"Sage is getting married"

Tobin Pov:

"Why did you girls get into a fight?"

"Because she said her dad likes mom, and that they should be together. I told her that her dad can't have mom, because mom loves you and your getting married" Savvy tells me as we drive home to get their gear for practice. The teacher called me today telling me that her and Valarie got into a heated argument. When we get home, I unlock the door for the kids. Meanwhile I grab the cooler to put ice in.

"Hey Tobin" Chris, Sage's dad comes over holding Camping chairs. I greet him, and I help him with the chairs, onto the truck. Ever since they've moved, they make sure to be at the games. Even ours, and it's nice. Especially for the kids, it's honestly starting to feel like a lot. Kid's, family and our career but I mean I love Sage. Did I rush things? Did she agree because.. she was pressured?

Alex POV:

"The whole teams knows" Kelly tells me over the phone. Finding out that the person you still love will be getting married to not only your teammate but someone who you use to be so close with.. hurts. The day after Christmas, Tobin purposed to Sage catching all of us by surprise. Tobin isn't one to do something like that which is absolutely odd. Maybe Sage brings out a side of Tobin no one knew Tobin had.

"Is everyone invited to the wedding?" I ask her, knowing already everyone but me will be. Having an ex at your wedding is bad luck or maybe they'll be kind to invite me. Guess time will tell.

"I'm sure everyone is Alex" she sounded unsure, which is fine. Not like I wouldn't understand why I'd be uninvited. I did break Sage's heart, and.. cheated.

"I'm be honest, I didn't expect Tobin to purpose. She use to love Christen so much,  remember?"

I nod along what Kelly is saying. Could Tobin just be rushing things to insure Sage she is over Christen? When she isn't.

Sage POV

"I know I can't believe it's happening" I tell Carli, as we admire my ring. I didn't think I'd ever get married, let alone find someone as amazing as Tobin.

"Have you guys talked about where your having it?"

"Sorta.. we actually don't talk about it a lot... holy shit.. is she getting cold feet?" I start to panick, as I feel the walls around me close in. Carli rubs my back to calm me down.

"Breathe Sagey, it's okay. Maybe she's just as nervous, trying to figure how to make your wedding day beautiful" Carli insures me. I nod as I take a deep breathe.

"I really love Tobin, and I don't think I'll ever love anyone like I love her. Even my kids, who have grown into her. She's my partner, like literally. My support, my guide, my best friend, my everything.. of course my kids are too." I confess, I can feel my heart race just thinking about Tobin being my wife, the mother to my kids.
