Chapter 34: Finally

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You're so beautiful," he whispered, and I blushed. He tipped my chin, "I mean it. Do you love me?" I slowly nodded, my mouth unable to answer. "Is that a yes?"

"What do you think, dipshit?" I laughed, and crashed my lips onto his. Fireworks exploded, the kiss sweet, but not needy. Slow and beautiful yet exciting at the same time. I pictured us doing this every night, sitting on a boat, the sun dipping into its peaceful bed, under the sea. Stars would twinkle, fish would sing, and there was no time in the air. We would be lost. Lost in our own little world. Together.

I pulled back as we came up for air, tingles still vibrating from my toes. I was taken aback by his bewildered look, his lips lazily slanted like a little boy having his first kiss. I laughed and was about to dip into seconds until Louise cleared her throat.

Brian and I flushed, but Charlie laughed, whispering something to Louise. The two chuckled and I wondered what they were saying. The music began to play again, MC Wallface's and DJ Easy Rock's, 'Takes Two."

Charlie did a little dance, and Louise shook her head, and turned around, ready to throw the flowers. Without delay, all the ladies gathered around, huddling for the big ticket. Even Maryna was pushing her way in, shoving her mom to the side.

"You're not going to go?" whispered Brian, his lips brushing my ear lobe as his arms remained around my waist.

"Why bother? I have everything I've ever wanted right here," I grinned, and pecked a kiss on his cheek. Heat rose up his face, and he melted, eyes dazed.

"One!" called out Louise, closing her eyes. "Two!" The woman squealed, eyes prying on the bouquet. "Three!" The garlands of roses were tossed in the air, and everyone dove, hands greedily hungry for the prized possession. For a moment, I was confused to who got it, the large crowd of ladies piled on top of each other. Then stepped up Kelly, her hands holding the flowers in surprise.

"Oh!" she giggled, and smelled the roses. All the ladies groaned, and whined, including Maryna who was pouting, arms crossed.

Louise chuckled, and soon, a carriage pulled up, but instead of horses lugging the round coach, it was two large elephants, their trunks thrown into the air in celebration. The happy couple waved their fairwells, and it was like a scene from Cinderella. She picked up her gown, and laughed as the two rushed up to the huge pumpkin shaped ride. Lovely doves soared in the air as someone opened the cage, and several little girls threw pedals after they closed the door. The two stuck their heads out the window, and waved one last time as they went underway, down the path of the garden, into their own little world.

The claps slowly died as they soon looked to be a speck in the distance, and I expected everyone to stand up, getting ready to leave. But everyone stayed put. Confusion washed on my face, and I turned back to the pathway.

Aunt Darby howled as she waved her cowboy hat in the air, her head sticking out of the driver's seat. Coming barrelling towards us was a large blue tinted truck; that crazy women's hands spiralling on the wheel as she drifted to stop, right at our feet.

"Darby?" I gasped, and my aunt hopped out, dressed in overalls. I ran over and got the loving suffocating hug I knew would come. "What are you doing here?"

"Well...I decided to come to Bangkok with you, but once I received a phone call from this idiot," she pointed to Brian, "and said to come crashing with a big ass truck, I couldn't resist. Crashing parties is my thing, sniggers," she ruffled my hair, and I grinned, shaking her off.

I turned to Brian, my expression still in shock. "So you planned all of this?"

He rubbed the back of his neck, and searched the ground. "Charlie helped a little of course, but yeah...I guess I did..."
