I've been waiting

Chapter 33

Sabrina POV

*Phone call*

Jayla- "Hello Sabrina. What's happening?"

Sabrina- "Guess what?"

Jayla- "What's that chick?"

Sabrina- "I get married tomorrow. What are we doing tonight?"

Jayla- "Well I thought we could hit up some clubs. Have a few too many and rock up tomorrow to your wedding absolutely sloshed. What you think?"

Sabrina- "Sounds like the best plan out there. Maybe I will be too drunk to walk the aisle. I might need to be pushed. Reckon we could find a wheelchair or something?"

Jayla- "Oh, you are a goose. Nah just a quiet one at mine. We will watch silly romance movies and paint our nails. You will need an early night so then we can get you all made up ready for the afternoon"

Sabrina- "Sounds like a plan. I can't wait to see you later. I'll be at yours around 5. I think that is what Michael said"

Jayla- "Sounds like a plan hun. I will leave you to it and see you in a few hours. Ahhhh I'm so excited Sabs"

Sabrina "Me too hun. Me too. Ok I'll see you later. Love you bye"

I hang up the phone and go and pack my over night bag. "Ok I have my pyjamas, my toothbrush and toothpaste. I have my underwear for tomorrow and my hairbrush. What am I missing?" I say to myself while I go through my room making sure I have everything ready to go. I walk into the closet and realise I have forgotten the most important thing.

"Oh, shoot my dress and shoes. I better not forget those"

I look at the clock on the wall, willing the hours to go quicker so I can get to Jayla's and spend my last night as Sabrina Morris. Come tomorrow after noon I will be Sabrina Simpson. Realising that I never actually looked at the time I look back to the clock. It is only 10:30 in the morning. Seeing as I still have over 6 hours before I go to Jayla's I start pacing the house. Yes, I know it's not going to make time go quicker but my brain will not let me settle.

"Digby, where are you boy. Let's go for a walk" Digby comes running up to me. He lowers his head to me for a scratch between his ears. "Do you wanna go for a walk?"

Digby looks at me and barks at me in agreement. I grab his leash and we head to the front door. I go to open the door and Michael is on the other side of it. He sees me and Digby getting ready for a walk "Is there room for one more on your walk?"

"Of course there is. Hurry up. I need to get moving. I can't sit still" I say to him. "You got ants in your pants or something" He says to me with a smile "More like I have the nervous giddies. Hurry up" I say to him "Ok ok, let me just put this stuff inside and we'll go"

He was taking too long in my books, so I start walking slowly down the front path on to the sidewalk. Michael soon catches up with us taking the leash out of my hands. He holds my hand with his free hand, and we walk in a comfortable silence. We have gotten to a local dog park where we have let Digby off his leash, allowing him to run free around the park.

"Doll face, are you okay?" Michael wraps his arms around my waist, staring into my eyes. "Yeah babe. Just excited for tomorrow. Just wish time would go quicker. The quicker it goes, the quicker I will be your wife" I say with a sigh. "We might not be married yet but you are already my wife in my eyes" He leans down and gives me a gentle kiss. "Oh, aren't you a smooth talker, Mr Simpson?" "Only for you Miss Morris"

Michael winks at me and blows me a kiss. After a little while we decide to head home and have something to eat. Digby had other ideas though.

"Come on Digby, it is time to go home" Digby rolls onto his back, letting us know that he wasn't ready to go home. I start walking towards him. Digby gets up and runs off in the opposite direction. "DIGBY GET BACK HERE" I yell for Digby to come back when I hear Michael laughing at me. I whip my head to him "What the hell are you laughing at arsehole?"

"Clearly he doesn't listen to you" Michael now has tears rolling down his face. "Oh, no shit Sherlock. Well the floor is all yours sweetheart"

Michael calls for Digby once and he goes running over to him. Michael is still laughing. I turn my back to them, flip Michael off over my shoulder and walk ahead of them.

Michael is calling for me, but I ignore him. Both boys in my life have pissed me off and I am not in the mood. I rub my belly and ask for my baby to be a girl, so I won't be alone. I know what you are thinking, you are only 8 weeks along. The baby won't be anything but a blob, but I am allowed to talk to him or her.

"Sabrina, you can't ignore me forever. Just remember what is happening tomorrow?" Michael yells out. Instead of answering Michael I just flip him off again. I am not going to partake in his silly games. I keep walking until I feel a cold nose on the back of my thigh. I stop in my tracks and allow them to catch up to me. Michael puts the leash in his other hand so he can hold mine.

"Good boy Digby. I knew you would get her to stop" Michael says to the dog while patting him between his ears. "Don't get to comfortable. I might just grab all my stuff that I am taking tonight and leave now. Make you go longer without me" I say to Michael with a smirk on my face. "You wouldn't?" He questions me. "Oh, I would. Might even call Jayla and get her to come and pick me up"

"But what about our afternoon delight date?" He whines. "You have a hand. You don't need me" I say back with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. Michael smacks my bum. "Oh, that is it. Just you wait until we get home. You will cop it then, my love" Michael says playfully. "Oh, I'm scared" I retort.

I look at Michael and give him a quick kiss on his cheek. We get home from our walk with Digby. I have only gotten one foot in the door and Michael is already attacking my mouth with his. He shuts the front door behind me and locks it. Our lips never breaking until we make it to the bedroom where his afternoon delights happen.

**

It is now 7:30pm. Jayla and I have had dinner and while she is drinking champagne, I am drinking orange juice. The night has been like the old times. We have sat on the couch, watching silly romcoms, talking about random stuff going on in our lives and most of all the men who make us happy.

Jayla and Shane have been together for nearly 2 years. She is a year older than me. We met in primary school. I was in grade 2 and she in grade 3. We hit it off straight away and have been best friends ever since. She has been there in the all the bad times in my life. Jayla is the kind of friend everyone needs. She isn't fake and tells it like it is.

I'm so thankful she didn't leave me after my outburst those few weeks ago. Instead she has helped lift me up along with Michael. I am so thankful to have her in my life and even more thankful she will be standing next to me tomorrow when I say 'I do'. The time has been going quickly tonight. Before we know it, it is already 11:30. We both decide it is time to get some sleep. Jayla gives me a kiss on the cheek

"I'll see you in the morning Sabby. If you can't sleep. Come and join me. You know, I will big spoon you to sleep. Love you girl" Jayla says in my ear. "I love you too big spoon. I might take you up on that offer, but where will Shane sleep?" I ask her with my eyebrows raised. "Oh, don't you worry about him. He can big spoon me and I will big spoon you"

She winks at me and heads into her bedroom. I take my old room/their spare room. I get changed into my pyjamas and go back out to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I get back to my room and turn the light off. I jump into bed and pull out my phone to send Michael a quick message

Text to Michael- I'll see you tomorrow baby. I love you so much and I can't wait to walk down the aisle to you xx

Text from Michael- I love you my queen. I will see you tomorrow. Sweet dreams beautiful xx

I put my phone down on the bedside table and lay down under the covers. My body is exhausted and sleep comes easily
