last chapter

--

eight months passed quickly, michael standing at the door, grinning from ear to ear. he's messing with the cufflinks, now making his way to the back. lauren walks out, squealing and turning michael around. they stand back-to-back. "what are you doing, lauren?"

"we can't see each other before the wedding, michael! what the hell are you doing?" she rushes, looking away.

"i'm sorry baby, i'll go. run to the room, until im gone because im tempted to look." he smiles. lauren scurries off, michael looking back to see no one.

he gets to the altar, his best men standing waiting for the bridesmaids. as soon as the ceremony starts, michael started tearing up and she wasn't even walking down the aisle. as jay and calum walk down the aisle and split, they both laugh. "don't cry! she didn't even walk out yet!"

michael breathes in, looking down. luke and alexia walk out, followed behind nick and Lauren's sister, jasmine, then ashton and tyla. once they're in their spots, michael starts breathing hard.

the flower girl throws white and pale blue flowers down the aisle. he gasps, eyes widening when he sees lauren being walked down the aisle with her father and step-father. "baby," he whispers looking directly at her.

"i love you." he blurts, calum laughing.

"stop being so nervous." jay whispers, lauren intertwining their fingers. the priest starts with his prayers, and the words of wisdom.

michael just wanted to tell lauren how much he loves her, so he went first saying their vows. "lauren devine, words can't describe how much a love you. it's hard to believe that we met at seven eleven. in the parking lot, and we hated each other. i don't have that spark feeling when we touch, it's something deeper, that you can't explain. i love you, baby."

lauren was tearing up, and when a tear fell he wipes it away. she says her vows, stumbling over her words at times, laughing in her hands. the priest was getting lazy, so he skipped some parts, and soon michael heard the words he was waiting for. "the groom may now kiss the bride."

he grabs her cheeks, caressing them softly, before pressing his lips to hers. the crowd cheers, the bridesmaids squealing. calum and luke fist bump, then lauren and michael run down the aisle outside to the after party.

••••

before they left for their honeymoon, they decided to stop midnight, at seven eleven. lauren lifts her dress as she walks into the gas station, michael wanting to strip from the tux he's in.

"congrats newly weds." someone in the store congratulated them. michael thanks him, grabbing her hand.

"stock on whatever you'd like, baby. there's a long way to canada." he smiles, hugging her close and kissing her forehead.

"i cant believe we actually fell in love in a seven eleven parking lot."

"just hope our kids don't turn out like us."

lauren laughs, "who said we're having kids?"
