She was bewitching.
She had Tate in knots. He couldn’t concentrate at all during the wedding. His sole concern was her, not the joining of his best friends. Nothing else mattered, just her. He had never felt like that, never felt the need to have someone so intensely. He didn’t know what it was. Was it her eyes, her face, her neck, or her legs? Or maybe the fact that she was so gorgeous in such a little package.
When everyone started cheering, Tate looked towards the happy couple to see Fallon’s hands on Lucas’ face, and her lips pressed to his. Lucas had one arm around her and the other in the air, as if he was cheering for the prize he had just won.
“Show off,” Erik muttered as everyone whistled and cheered. Everyone stood as the happy couple made their way down the aisle. As his Brunette Beauty and Aiden ran behind them, Tate smiled. He couldn’t wait to approach her again.
“What the hell are you staring at?” Phillip said.
Tate looked down at him, “Fallon’s bridesmaid.”
“Oh, Audrey?”
“Audrey?” Tate asked, his stomach sinking.
“Yeah, that’s Fallon’s sister and Lucas’ new sister-in-law. She isn’t as hot as I thought she would be.”
Tate fell into his chair, breathing hard as Erik and Phillip made their way towards the aisle to follow everyone to the reception. He couldn’t believe it. The girl he was infatuated with was his best friend’s sister-in-law, also his neighbor? The same sister-in-law, who Lucas was insanely protective over.
Awesome. Just f**king awesome.
Chapter 5
The wedding was exquisite.
Audrey couldn’t decide if the best part was when Fallon walked down the aisle with her hand gripped tightly to their father’s arm, or when Lucas held his fist in the air as he kissed Fallon. Both moments brought Audrey to a puddle of tears, hell, the whole wedding did. Everything was just so perfect. Audrey couldn’t wait until the day she had could have someone look so intensely in her eyes like Lucas had looked at Fallon. It was so fulfilling to watch him catch a stray tear from her cheek, and smile when his own eyes filled with tears.
It was magical.
Audrey leaned against the back of her chair, her eyes locked on the happy couple as they held each other in the middle of the dance floor. As Jason Mraz sang about not giving up on the other person, Audrey watched her sister cry in the arms of the man who she was going to be with for the rest of her life. When Lucas leaned over to kiss Fallon’s nose, Audrey’s eyes fell shut as she sent a little prayer of thanks up to heaven. She wasn’t sure how much more she could have taken of Fallon’s stubbornness, if she had continued to try ignoring Lucas. Thankfully, the Lord had other plans, and now her sister was living her Happily Ever After.
A smile formed on Audrey’s face as her eyes opened and she continued to watch the happy couple. She was no longer jealous, more like so stinking happy she could scream. Lucas and Fallon deserved each other. They were made for each other and no one else. Audrey could do nothing but just hope and pray she found that person. Then life would be grand.
Audrey looked down at the little Post-It note that said, ‘The Best Maid of Honor Ever’ and smiled. Fallon was so clever with the décor. Post-It notes meant a lot to her and Lucas, and having them as the name cards was too cute. With all the little umbrellas and soft sounds of rain falling, the wedding symbolized the start of their relationship. Audrey still got chills when she thought of the story Fallon had told her, about how she and Lucas had gotten back together for good. It was something straight out of a movie. Making up in the rain and then making sweet love in the grass.
Um yes, please sign her up!
As the song ended, Audrey glanced up to see Lucas kissing Fallon deeply while everyone clapped loudly. It was extra loud with the whole Assassin hockey team there, but man, did they make the wedding even more gorgeous. It wasn’t hard to pick out the hockey players. They were all dressed to impress and, man, were they scrumptious. Audrey should really work the room, maybe her Lucas Brooks was sitting at a table, drinking it up without her.
Suddenly someone was pulling at her arm, yelling, “Come on, AA, it’s our turn!”
Audrey smiled over at her favorite little guy as she stood, “Let’s go, Punkin!”
Aiden looked fantastic in his mini suit and his hair brushed to the side. Like always, everyone forgot to get the little guy a haircut, so he resembled Justin Bieber something serious. Audrey, of course, thought he was the cutest little guy ever and was proud to walk beside him towards the DJ. It was time for the speeches and even if Aiden was excited about it, Audrey was still a little nervous. The DJ was already holding a mic out for Aiden, who took it eagerly, a big grin on his face as he turned towards his parents.
“Now if I can have everyone’s attention, the best man would like to say a few words,” the DJ said loudly into his mic.
Aiden’s grin grew as everyone aww'ed and cheered for him. Who wouldn’t though? The kid was a doll baby! Audrey watched as Fallon and Lucas’ eyes zeroed in on Aiden, both with blissful grins on their faces. Aiden cleared his throat and began, “I couldn’t ask for a better mom or dad,” he then glanced back at Audrey, and took her hand in his, “Or a better AA.”
Damn kid! Audrey’s eyes filled with tears as she squeezed his hand. She loved him so much.
“My mom and dad are both great, but what makes them even better is when they are together and not fighting.”
Everyone laughed as Fallon leaned into Lucas, “I love you both so much and I’m so happy that we all get to live together. Now all I need is a brother. So I’m gonna need y’all to go get me one. I’m lonely you know!”
