Loving You (Love Wanted in Texas 6)

He handed me my bouquet of white roses Alex made. They were wrapped in the same color fabric as the bridesmaids gowns.

I took my father’s arm and let him walk me down the stairs and to the car. The wedding was taking place at the lake on Layton and Whitley’s ranch.

My heart was beating so hard in my chest, I felt like it was rocking the car. We were the last to pull up. I looked out the window to see the girls walking down the aisle. I couldn’t help but smile when my eyes landed on Jase. He looked so handsome dressed in a black tux. The windows to the limo were tinted and no one could see me inside.

My father bumped my shoulder. “You ready?”

“I’ve never been more ready for anything in my entire life.”

He got out and walked around to my door. A group of people gathered around and somewhat blocked the view of me as my father helped me out, adjusted my dress and held his arm out for me. When I slipped it around his, they stepped aside and Jessie ushered Bayli and Mireya down the aisle as everyone gushed about how cute the girls were as they skipped down the aisle literally throwing pink rose petals everywhere.

The music changed and the wedding march started while I locked eyes with Jase.

His smile was so big, I couldn’t help but giggle.

“I’d say he was happy by that grin across his face,” my father whispered.

“He looks so handsome,” I whispered.

I tried to pull my eyes off of him to look at our guests, but I was mesmerized.

It felt like forever by the time we made it up to the altar. My father lifted my veil and kissed my cheek as he placed my hand in Jase’s.

“Take care of my little girl.”

Jase nodded. “I will, sir. I promise.”

Walking up to the altar, Jase and I faced one another. “You’re so beautiful, I feel like I can’t breathe looking at you.”

My face warmed as I squeezed his hand. “Thank you. You look so handsome, I couldn’t take my eyes off of

you.”

The pastor cleared his throat and began the ceremony.

The whole thing was a blur. Jase and I stared at each other almost the entire time. When he finally announced us husband and wife, Jase cupped my face with his hands and smiled. He slowly pressed his lips to mine as everyone yelled out and clapped. Pulling back slightly from me, Jase winked.

Turning to face everyone, Jase held up our hands as if we had just won a race. We started down the aisle and off to the side where a few quick photos would be snapped before we headed to the reception.

Stopping, he pulled me closer to him and kissed me once more. “Do you know what makes me the happiest man in the world?”

Lifting my mouth up in a smile, I asked, “What?”

The back of his hand moved softly down my face. “Loving you.”

“You have no idea how much I love you,” I softly spoke.

“I think I do. Now kiss me before they start making us pose.”

And kiss I did. Luke cleared his throat as he walked by and said, “The photographer isn’t waiting patiently for the two of you to stop sucking face. Save it for later.”

We spent the next thirty minutes taking beautiful pictures as well as silly ones with our best friends and family.

Nothing would ruin this day.

It was perfect.

Beyond perfect.
