“Greg, what are you doing here?”
He smiled as he came up to me. “Heather, you’re breathtaking. Josh is going to…well, to be blunt and honest, he’s going to shit his pants when he sees you. ”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “I hope he has a reaction but not quite like that. ”
“Josh didn’t want you walking down the aisle alone, so he asked me if I would do the honors. ”
I felt tears building in my eyes. Thank God I have on waterproof makeup. “I would love that,” I barely got out in a whisper.
“You ready, baby girl?”
I nodded as I took his arm. We rounded the corner, and I didn’t look up until we were out on the light blue runner. The moment I lifted my head, the only person I saw was Josh. I sucked in a breath of air as I looked at him.
“Oh. My. God. He looks amazing,” I whispered.
Greg laughed. “He does look pretty sharp, doesn’t he?”
I turned to Greg and smiled. “Just like his father. ”
“Now, you’re just suckin’ up to find out where he’s taking you!”
I laughed as I put my eyes back on the love of my life. My heart started beating faster, and the butterflies were going crazy in my stomach. He looks so handsome…and hot as hell!
He was dressed in a white button-down shirt with a light blue tie and white linen pants. When I looked down at his feet, I busted out laughing.
“He has on flips-flops, Greg!”
“He said if you got to wear comfortable shoes, so did he. ”
The chairs were all covered in a light blue fabric with white bows. At the end of the aisle, there was a small makeshift tent made from white lace fabric with a table under it. The table had four beautiful vases with light blue candles in them.
When we walked up, Greg placed my hand in Josh’s hand, and Josh just stared at me. I saw the tears in his eyes, and I did everything I could to hold mine back.
Gunner leaned forward and bumped Josh. “Josh…”
Everyone started laughing.
Josh looked me up and down and then stared into my eyes as he shook his head. “You’re so beautiful. You leave me speechless, princess. ”
Greg said, “Damn, I taught that boy good. ”
I turned to Greg as Elizabeth smacked him on the arm.
I smiled and looked back at Josh. I never stopped gazing into his eyes. I barely even heard the preacher talking.
“Josh, Heather, are you ready to say your vows?”
Gunner had to snap us out of our endless staring contest.
“Josh, say your vows,” Gunner said.
“Heather, first, I just need to say…wow…baby, you look beautiful. ”
I smiled. “So do you!”
Then, he squeezed my hands and gave me that smile that drove me mad. “I didn’t write down any vows because I wanted to speak straight from my heart. ”
Yes! I just won four hundred bucks!
