Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 58

I yawned and slowly opened my eyes, the warm Californian sun shining through my curtains. I rolled over to face Aston. He was still sleeping, so I shuffled closer to him so our noses were almost touching. I gently kissed his nose, causing him to stir. I snapped my eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. I felt him sit up, before shuffling back down and pulling me close towards him. A smile soon appeared on my face.

'Are you awake?' he chuckled.

'Maybe' I smiled, my eyes still shut. I felt his warm breath against my lips, followed by a moist pair of lips pressed against mine. I opened my eyes to be met with his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. Just as we were getting into the kiss, we were interrupted by a knocking on the door. I sighed, pulling away from our kiss. I climbed out of bed and walked towards the door to unlock it. Aston tapped my bum lightly as I walked past him, causing me to giggle. I unlocked the door, revealing my mum stood smiling at me. I hid myself behind the door, as I was only wearing a vest top and my underwear.

'Morning' I yawned.

'Morning sweetie! Are you two getting up?' she asked, trying to peek around me to catch a glimpse of Aston.

'Mum, it's not even 8am!' I giggled slightly.

'Yes, but we're leaving for the church at 11!' she reminded me.

'Oh shit! I forgot!' I gasped.

'Language, Chloe. Just make sure your ready in time' she warned.

'Okay, sorry mum!' I replied, closing the door and locking it again. I turned around to see Aston laid on his belly with his face buried into the pillow. I ran to the bed and dived on top of him, my legs landing either side of his waist so I was straddling him.

'Woah!' he exclaimed, jumping out of his skin.

'Come on, time to get up! We have 3 hours to get ready, so shower, now!' I instructed him, climbing off him and undressing myself before running into the shower. Just as I went to close the shower door behind me, Aston squeezed himself in with me.

'No funny business Ast.. We have to be quick!' I warned.

'Aww, please?' he begged.

'Nope' I said, determined not to let him have his way.

Three hours later, and me and Aston were just about ready.

'Babe, will you fasten my necklace please?' I asked Aston, struggling to do it myself.

'Sure' he smiled, coming round behind me. He swept my soft curls away from my neck and clipped my necklace together, before placing a sweet kiss on the back of my neck.

'Okay, ready' I grinned, looking at myself in the mirror.. I felt so good today.

'Me too' Aston said, quickly spritzing himself with aftershave before turning to face me.

'You look wonderful baby.. Absolutely stunning' he smiled, kissing my lips gently.

'You too' I blushed.

We waited for the wedding car downstairs with my parents, my brother & his closest friends, and Marvin & Nikki. Everyone looked amazing. When we heard a beep outside, we all hurried to get outside at once, excited for this special day..
