I FakeD That Smile (book 2)

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

With Destiny fast asleep in my arms, my heart swelled watching the happy couple standing on the Alter exchanging their vows. They looked so happy and for once, I actually felt safe for the both of them, knowing that our family were securely locked up. The only thing that has always puzzled me since the first day I found out that we where cousins was why did they attack and treat her so bad? How comes they never came after me, not that I would want them to. I thought to myself.

So deep within my own thoughts that it wasn’t until I heard the crowds behind me cheering and clapping that I noticed Damon and Sheena kissing. The ceremony was over, staring between the both of them my eyes turn to Lee as he too had a smile that I knew mirrored my own. Blocking all my thoughts from the past year I made my way behind the newly weds, “this will be us soon baba” Lee whispered into my ear. With his hot minty breath blowing against my ear, my heart went into overdrive as it did the very first day we met. I hope these feelings never leave us, I mumbled to myself as I tried to pull it together. “It will sweetie and as soon as we are married I want lots more little Lee’s” I replied knowing he wouldn’t be thinking of the babies but only the bit where we will be making the babies. I couldn’t help my self from laughing as I watched his face heat up; he looked beyond flustered and frustrated. His eyes Wow, they scared me, as I really thought he was going to take me there and then in front of all these people. Luckily he put a little space between us but not before saying,”you will pay for this when we get home and believe me, you will be the one who will be blushing.” His words had my body yearning for him but knowing he will tease me until I physically can't take no more had me mentally kicking myself.

Once reaching the horse and carriage, I couldn’t get over the look on Sheena’s face. Bless her, I have never seen her so happy, ever. She was the sister I was never lucky enough to have; nonetheless, I wouldn’t want anyone else. As she was everything I could’ve wished for and more. Watching Damon lifting Sheena up into the carriage made my heart stop for a second, knowing I was not going to see Sheena for at least a month or so. Tears started overflowing as I handed Destiny over to Damon before hugging him goodbye, then climbing into the carriage I got hold of Sheena not wanting to let her go. “I’m going to miss you so much,” she said as she too started crying. “Me too, please just make sure you call me when you arrive, so I know you’re all safe,” I asked as my insides started flipping and tossing as feeling uneasy for them. Neither of us wanted to let go and feeling Lee’s arm pulling me away only made me hold on tighter “please be safe, I wouldn’t know what to do if anything happened to you” I said as I gradually left Lee lead me away. “I promise, love you Cherelle” was the last thing I heard before Damon jumped in along side her before they set off for their honeymoon.

After we waved them off, David, Lee and Damon’s sergeant came over beside me and gave my shoulder a squeeze. “They will be back before you know it,” he said. Raising my head so I could see him I gave him a nod, however seeing he was crying with there departure too I grabbed him into a hug “I believe you,” I replied.

After my tears eased up a little we started making our way to the reception, which was being held in one of  the hospitals conference rooms. I could hear everyone talking about how happy they all where for the newly weds and how much they had deserved this day along with what had been happening the last few weeks. Although I really wanted Sheena to be here with us, I knew Damon had made the right choice. As Damon thought it would be too much for Sheena, after all it’s only been what three days today since she came out of the safe house. However, if she could hear all these people talking with pity for her it would have ruined her day, as Sheena hated anyone feeling sorry for her as I found that out on the first day we met. 

It was past midnight when we finally arrived home and I was feeling totally exhausted. Kicking off my shoes by the side of the door, I made my way to the kitchen, while Lee put our little one to bed. Switching the kettle on I started to make Lee and I a hot chocolate.  While waiting for the milk to boil I grabbed my phone waiting for Sheena’s call.  Feeling Lee’s warm comforting arms wrapping around my waist seemed to settle my anxiety. Slowly I left my body sink completely into him needing his reassurance “what time do you think they will get there?” I asked sleepily. “They wouldn’t tell anyone where they where going but Damon did say if they didn’t call tonight he will definitely call by midday tomorrow. Feeling more at ease than I have all night since they left I slowly lifted my head until our eyes locked “Take me to bed baby” I said sleepily but teasingly. Lee started wiggling his eye brows while the smile on his face went from ear to ear “now its time for your punishment remember ba-ba” he replied while stretching out his nickname for me.
