What Happens In Vegas Doesn't Stay In Vegas

Maybe Memories

Maybe Memories

Caleb was frowning at my answer. I could see his eyes darken with sadness.
He asked me if I will stay forever with him. And I started with "I don't..."

He looked down. Eyre speak up! I was slapping myself in my head. Why have I told him I don't. Good job Eyre.

"I..." he looked up again to me. I held his hands and pulled him. I assisted him to stand.

"I don't think why not." I finally told him. I finally said it.

He smiled and hugged me so tight that I feel like I can't breathe. He hugged me like there was no tomorrow.

"I thought your gonna turn me down." He broke our hug and put the ring on me. It was not that fancy. It was silver and had hollow letters on it. C&E. it stand for our initial. He had one on his hand too, just like mine only bigger.

He kissed me gently. It was very warm. Knowing that the boy I love will be my forever kissing me made my heart leap.

"Congratulations." I was startled at the voice I heard. It was Rachel.

Rachel ran towards me and jumped up and down.

"I have a confession to make." Rach blurted out. I was waiting for what she is trying to tell. "I knew Caleb liked you. I knew it ages ago when he texted Adam that he was excited that you were going into the university. I read it because Adam's left his phone in my apartment." She continued and it was a revelation of the year.

"OMG Rach, you knew?" I uttured in astonishment. "I was ranting at you whenever I see Caleb or he did something annoying back then." I suddenly whinned. She smile at me.

"Yes. And it took me years to figure out how you and Caleb would end up together. I had the chance in Vegas." She said.

"You knew it was not a fake wedding?" I asked her.

"No. Actually I just want Caleb to kiss you back then but heck, we are in Vegas and I knew that Vegas is famous about weddings and sins. Plus we were drunk." she explained.

I pouted at her.

"Rachel knew I liked you." Caleb held my hand. "I was ecstatic to marry you there in Vegas. It's a win-win situation for me because I got to get your first kiss, which I intend to get but can't figure out how back then. I even planned on torturing you or teasing you to get it. Then the dare happenrd and I mentally planned what will happen in the future when we get back here." Caleb said.

"I never been so attracted at you." I blured out as he said that confession. It was psychotic but kind of sweet. He smirked upon hearing what I just said.

"We are really an arranged marriage." He continued. I was shocked at the news I just heard. "Our grandparents were best friends and they decided to marry the two of us. At first they agreed to marry first born child of our parents. But clearly Adam is years older than we are, so my grandpa changed it to me and I am very thankful for that." he finished it with kissing my cheeks.

"It was planned all along? Why didn't I knew this?" I asked him in curiosity.

"Well, for starters, it was my task to say it to you. I never meant to hurt you or make me your nemesis or make your life miserable. Our first meeting was not that great. This Vegas wedding was perfect to know me so I took the opportunity to do so."

I was overwhelmed by what he was saying. Caleb and I are arranged marriage. So whatever happens we were meant to be together.

Caleb's phone rang.

"We will be there don't worry." He said on the other line.

He held me tight again and kissed my forehead.

"You ready love?" he suddenly asked me.
"For?" I asked him looking intently in his happy glittering eyes. "are we gonna be wedded again today?" I asked but it was a tease but then again, my heart skipped a beat.

I know he have another plan installed ahead of us but I don't know what it was. My eyes moved to find Rachel and Adam was nowhere to be found. Where are they? I didn'rmt noticed they already have disappeared.

Caleb responded with just a smile at me.

He led me unto the elevator and pushed the button for the 28th floor. He held my hand and kissed it while looking at me.

"I just can't believe that you are mine now." He whispered through my knuckles.

"Is that a line from a song?" I said laughing.

"But it is what I feel though." He said as he smiled. It was pure happiness. The most geniune smile I saw from him.

He pulled me and our bodies was pressed against each other. He kissed me gently at first and by the time the elevator was at 21st floor our gentle kiss became more intense. I knew the floor because I checked it.

The elevator bell rang when we hit the 28th floor. He broke our kiss that made me whimper. I saw a smile crept on his lips when he heard me whimper upon our lips parted.

He pulled me out of the elevator and led the way to our apartment unit. I was surprise when my sisters and Caleb's sisters was running towards me and jumped at Caleb and me.

"EYRE!!" all of them shouted. I was really surprised at what is going on. I never imagined that my family and his are here. Each of the kids got a kiss and a hug from me. I look around and I saw our whole family was in there, in our apartment. Caleb's family and mine.

"Family," he started. I felt my stomach churn. The animals had turned into Godzillas. Every single one of them. "I introduce you Hazel Eyre Waters, my wife."
