Love's Deception

Chapter 24 - Misunderstandings

In relationships, sometimes you have arguments. Arguments and fights are all-natural in relationships. But, if you can get through them, that's a sign of strength. No good relationship went without their little spats, and that's okay.

But sometimes there are some moments where there's a misunderstanding. Now a misunderstanding is a failure to understand something correctly. We all do it. The important part is to go back and learn to understand so that you don't make the mistake again. That's the only thing you can do to make things better, that and apologize if you're in the wrong.

What happens when you have two strong-willed people who have a misunderstanding. One person gets upset, and the other person has trouble explaining the misunderstanding. What do you think will happen? Will they butt heads? Or will they work to get through this? Your guess is as good as mine.

The next morning I wake up extremely tired. More tired than usual. I roll off the couch and get up to get some coffee. As I rub my eyes, I see Shana sitting at the kitchen table, already up and drinking coffee. She looks a little stressed.

"Good morning," I say as I pour some coffee into a mug.

Shana only mutters a reply and I sit down next to her, "Is something wrong?"

Shana looks at me and hesitates a moment, "How do you think Aidan would react if I suggest we get married at the courthouse today?"

My eyes widen, "I thought you wanted a big wedding?"

"Well, I still do. But, both our schedules are so busy and we could barely even find time to come here to visit and look for locations, so how are we even supposed to plan a wedding?"

Shana's eyes glaze over and I can tell she's about to cry. I stand up and give her and hug, which she gladly accepts.

"I understand. You guys really are busy with work. But, Aidan loves you, he would do whatever he takes to marry you because he's crazy about you. He's wanted to marry you since the day you guys met!"

Shana pulls away from me, "Really?"

I nod, "The day you guys met in high school, Aidan came home with the biggest grin on his face and told my mom and dad that he had just met his future wife. It's like he knew he was going to marry you."

"That day we only spoke two-sentence to each other," Shana wipes a tear away.

"Well, look at you now," I think for a moment, "Hey, what if you guys get married tomorrow in the high school courtyard where you first met?"

Shana's eyes light up, "That sounds amazing! But, where are we going to find a minister on such short notice?"

"Cam is ordained!" I say loudly, "He got ordained to officiate his brother's wedding, he can do it. He's like family."

"Are you sure he'd do it? Is it asking too much since I've never met him?"

"Trust me," I smile, "He'll do it."

I watch as Shana jumps out of her seat, "Will you be my maid of honor?"

"I'd love to!"

Shana squeals, which is something I've never heard from her, "I have to go wake Aidan up and tell him what's happening."

"Okay," I laugh.

"You can invite your boyfriend too, we all know you have one," Shana whispers and winks before going to my bedroom.

I laugh and then take a deep breath as it hits me. Jace may be mad at me. I take my phone out and text him 'Good morning' with a heart emoji. Jace responds back with a simple 'Good morning'. No heart, nothing else. He doesn't usually do that.
