On the side is Phoebe and Sam 's song 'We'll be a dream' I would recommend not playing it until Ana and Phoebe walk through the doors of the chapel. Lol this is the perfect chapter.
Goal #3: Get married.
June 31st 2013
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 9.
I knew it was stupid a teenage girl wanting to go to Hollywood, but who wouldn't? I'm different, not like most girls, one of the guys, but I am still a girl. I wanna meet celebrities, be in a movie, and walk the Star's strip. It's not dumb it's not stupid though everyone has dreams, and that just happens to be one of mine.
"So do you know where we are?"
"No but I do know we are somewhere near L.A."
"How do you know?"
"I just do." Sam smirked at me, it had been maybe a little more than a week since we left Texas and it all felt like a blur. Lola gave me her number to keep in contact just in case I needed to, I did make her promise not to tell my parents yet though. She was hesitant at first but finally agreed.
"Whatever you arrogant jerk."
"You beautiful monster." I giggled and put my hand on the back of my head which held Sam's hat that I never took off. We were the only ones awake, Angel and Carla had fallen asleep not too long ago and Ana was curled up in the corner of the trunk. We put her there when she fell asleep, because when she did go to sleep on the floor of the van it looked like the most uncomfortable position ever.
"Aww am I really beautiful?"
"Words can't explain." Sometimes Sam makes me feel as if there's no one in the world but us, if it were possible I'd just take him and go somewhere that's just for us.
"You know you could be a poet."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What makes you think that?"
"Because words can't describe how your mind works."
"Then words shall not, but actions will." Yup he reads too much Shakespeare. Eyes still on the road he reached for my hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed my knuckles.
"Hey look Las Vegas up ahead." Looking through the glass I saw a sign that read 'Las Vegas 5 miles'.
"Oh but we're not old enough to get into clubs or casinos."
"So that's when you go out and meet interesting people." His smile warmed me making a smile break out on my face too.
"Ohh shit Vegas!" I turned to see Ana rush over to us.
"What time is it?" The sun had gone down a little while ago so it had to be late.
"7:43 Yo Angel get up man!!" Sam yelled into the rearview mirror.
"What the hell you want man I'm sleeping!?"
"We're in Vegas." Angel shot up and over to his bag with a smile on his face."
"I've been waiting for us to get here so I was prepared, everyone take one these will help us to party. Phoebe don't make me regret giving you one though, okay?" I nodded as my eyes met my face, a smiley one on a fake I.D.
"How'd you get these?"
"What eighteen year old doesn't know people?" We all laughed and heard a grunt.
"I am trying to sleep! I know we're close to Vegas so I need my sleep to party, now be quiet!" Carla shouted and curled back up.
"Sorry." Everyone whispered, Ana more sarcastically.
"It's party time y'all." Angel whispered and we all cheered.
**
We got to Las Vegas in an hour and a half and quickly rushed to a hotel. The guys went to find a good club while we got ready, Ana was on make-up while Carla did hair.
"For this once we need a truce?"
"I agree I need opinions." Carla added.
"So truce?"
"For tonight." They shook hands and our night began, the prepping, brushing, choosing, and changing took a long time mind you. But when we finished I felt as if the hassle was worth it. Carla had put on her red cocktail dress, it was red, strapless, and had ruffles reaching just above her knees. She had curled her hair to the side and had a misty grey shadow, light blush, and a pink shiny lip gloss. And being herself, Ana wore her strapless belly shirt which showed her whole stomach and only covered her boobs, and of course it was blue too. Adding to that she put on her white shorts which went mid-thigh with her blue ankle breaker heels. She decided to leave her hair waving down her back, finally they looked at me, Ana smiled, and Carla snickered. I gulped as they lunged at me. Ana insisted I wear my leather jacket, Carla let me borrow her sliver tube top which had ruffles and sparkled. Ana pushed a skirt at me, but I pushed it back.
"That is where I draw the line."
"Come on Pheebs live a little."
"No."
"Fine how about skinnies?"
"That's fine." And with that she threw my black skinnies at me, after I changed Carla forced me down and tried to put some heels on me they were small heels maybe three inches. But when I say force there was a fight.
"My God calm down they're just shoes." She said and held me down putting them on.
Finally I stood up and fell, I don't do heels, "Oh Phoebe you'll be fine, now make-up and hair." Great.
It took them fifteen minutes to finish, Ana worked her magic with my make-up putting a shade of light eye liner, a little black eye shadow mixed with silver, and a light red gloss. Carla did my curls justice by curling them just right. My hair was hanging down my shoulders, after my protesting Carla put Sam's hat back on my head making me smile. Ana got a call and she quickly picked it up.
"Oh hey you......really.......okay.....what is it?" Pause "No way...no you're playing with me.....omg I love you so much right now....I can do that..No problem....I won't okay bye."
"Who was that?"
"The guys, be right back." With that she vanished out the door leaving me and Carla alone.
"So are you ready for tonight?"
She looked at me and reached into her purse, out came a pack of cigarettes, she took one out, and lit it. Pulling it to her mouth she took a drag and blew it in my face, making me cough.
"Don't tell Angel." I nodded.
And with that she left to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Sam P.O.V
"Man you sure about this?" Angel asked concerned.
I looked at my cousin and nodded, "Yeah Angel I wanna do this for her and me."
"Explain it to me than because I'm lost."
"I love her, I wanna be there for her, and if she does......" I couldn't say it, "Then at least she'll know my true feelings for her."
He was silent for a minute then punched my arm, "Damn man sometimes you sound like a little pussy. But I can tell you're a good guy to her, she's lucky to have you."
"Thanks Angel now help me choose." We glanced down at the display case for almost an hour until we found it, the set I knew she'd love. Marveling at them me and Angel nodded and the sales lady smiled glad we finally made a decision.
"How are you gonna do it?"
"I'm going to ask her tonight and I already got the place."
"Outfits?"
"Yeah I got my suit and...." I stopped she wouldn't have a dress. Yanking my phone out from my pocket and I dialed Ana's cell.
"Hey you."
"Hey Ana I need to tell you something."
"Really?"
"Yeah it's important."
"Okay what is it?" The noise in the background told me the girls were getting ready for tonight.
"I'm uh...going to ask Phoebe to marry me." The rings shined in my hand as I said it.
"No way."
"No Ana I'm serious I wanna be there for her and show her I love her." Her squeal was deafening.
"No way you're playing with me" give it a minute "omg I love you right now."
"Okay now I kinda need you to get her a dress."
"I can do that."
"Yeah you sure?"
"No problem."
"Oh and please don't tell her."
She laughed, "I won't. Okay bye."
With that she hung up and I saw Angel smile, "What?"
"I'm going to look good as a best man." I punched his arm and we left the store.
**
Ana called and said they were ready, but she made sure to warn me not to have a heart attack. I had no idea what she meant by that until they came into our view, which stunned me and Angel. My jaw dropped and Angel literally lost his balance, which was saying something I tell you.
Ana was wearing her usual party clothes, but something about them tonight was different. Her shirt covered her boobs only and her shorts were tight like always, you can understand why Keith got jealous every once in a while. Carla seemed to look older than she was with the cute red dress she was wearing, Angel had noticed the length and was practically mind raping her.
But when I saw Phoebe my breath caught in my throat and my heart stopped, she looked amazing. She had the bad girl and shy party girl look, which made it, fit and be sexy. The shirt was sparkly and tight, the black skinnies blended in with it, and the leather jacket topping her shirt. She stumbled a bit and I just knew she was trying to walk in heels so looking down to her feet I saw them.
"Heels sweetheart?"
She laughed, "Yeah I was forced."
"Hmm I know you wore converse to my aunt's wedding." Her eyes sparkled their shade of green making her look perfect, her hair spilled over her shoulders and my brother's hat nestled on her head, "You're not going to take that hat off are you?"
"Why do you want me to?"
"No." I couldn't help myself, I brought my lips to hers and she didn't object.
"Eh hmm we have a night of partying to do there is no time for that." We pulled apart to see none other than Carla, sometimes I wondered what Angel saw in her. I can admit she's pretty, the perfect blonde, but she's a raging bitch. I don't say anything around Angel because he gets upset when I do, but for Phoebe's sake I have to stand up for her when I can.
"Alright let's go."
"Come on Pheebs it's time for your first time clubbing." Ana grinned.
"Can't wait." I could tell she was excited but nervous because she gripped my hand so tight she was turning it purple. The club Angel had picked was named 'Devil's Getaway' with a bar, a entertainment center, and lots of dance floor space. The IDs were good and got us in, but the second we got in the music hit us instantly. Ana bounced up and down pulling us through the crowd, I glanced at Phoebe as her eyes filled with excitement. I gripped her hand and she smiled.
Once in the middle Ana grabbed a guy and started dancing, Carla grinded on Angel hard and I gulped. I've had girlfriends but never danced with them, I knew how to dance but looked down at Phoebe.
"What do we do?" She asked.
"I think we follow their lead." I pointed at Angel and Carla.
"Okay." Phoebe looked at me then turned her back facing me, I held out my hands and she quickly grabbed them. She led my hands to her hips and backed up against me, once there I could feel her start in a circle and I paid close attention to how she did it. Soon me and her were going back and forth dancing slow fast, I was enjoying every last minute of it and I knew she was too.
"Ana you know you have a boyfriend right?" Phoebe yelled laughing at Ana who was grinding with some nineteen year old, possibly looking for more from her.
"Yup and you're not going to tell him about this." We all laughed.
"I'm telling."
"Sam if you do your beat down won't be pretty."
"Whatever." I lowered my head down and placed small kisses on Phoebe's neck making her giggle, she pushed her hair out the way to give me more access and I grinned.
"Stop Sam that tickles." She giggled harder.
"Come on I wanna talk to you." She turned and looked at me before she nodded, I nodded at Angel and Ana to follow and they smiled back.
"So what's up?" I couldn't help but watch her twirl as we made our way into the alley, which made me smile even bigger.
"I just wanna do something."
"Well then what is it?"
My breath caught in my throat as I saw Ana and Angel nod and give me thumbs up. This is it, I had one shot if she said no I'd be disappointed but I'd understand. And if she said yes I'd be over filled with joy and shock.
Phoebe's POV
"Sam?" I could see he was thinking really hard about something and for some reason I couldn't tell what it was.
"I'm sorry I just...."
"Tell me Sam." Slowly putting my hand on his shoulder he grinned, took a breath, and grabbed my hand in his.
"Phoebe Strider" he got down on one knee and my breath caught in my throat "will you marry me?"
He reached in his pocket and pulled out the most beautiful ring that I've ever seen, it had a half heart on it with a crown. His eyes searched mine yet the tears in my eyes blocked out his hazel ones, but I knew I wanted to be with him. And he wanted the same, he loved me and I loved him. We both wanted this but I knew I hesitated.
"It's okay if you say no Phoebe." The disappointment in his voice rang in my ears.
"Yes." My voice was so low that I couldn't even hear it.
"What?"
A smile came to my face, "Yes, yes, not no, yes!!" He picked me up and spun us around and then came the screaming. My eyes drifted up to see Ana and Angel who were hugging and jumping up and down making me giggle.
"Ready for your wedding?" Sam smiled and kissed me.
"Our wedding...wait I don't have a dress."
"Yes you do now let's go we have a booking that can't be rebooked." Ana yanked us from the alley way as Angel brought Carla, we were thrown in the van and Ana yanked off my clothes as we hid in the back.
"Oww ow that's my hair!"
"Hold still."
"Oww that hurt."
"Sorry."
"Can you not flash my panties?"
"Nope I have to." Once I was down to my bra and underwear shivering she pulled out a bag with a dress that brought a light over me, "Like?"
"Love! Did you pick it out yourself?"
"Do I know you or do I know you?"
"You really do know me." Slowly she unzipped the dress and pulled it over my head, it came down to just above my knees. It was all white, with silver designs from my right side to my left hip. It was strapless and it just made me love it more.
"Now put these back on." The silver heels.
"I hate you, can't I just wear my converse."
"No! This is going to be a traditional wedding, well somewhat of a traditional wedding. And besides you don't even have your shoes." We all laughed, the van pulled to a stop and Ana fixed my curls and applied some more makeup adding a smidge more silver eye shadow. Without me having to ask she put Sam's hat back on my head and I hugged her for it.
"I'll see you inside." Sam kissed my forehead and I watched him walk away.
"I'll be the pretty one."
"Yes you will!" With that he vanished.
"This is so stupid." Carla snared.
"Aww what's wrong Carla is the herpes starting to burn again." Ana smirked.
"Haha that was funny no I feel bad that Sam is promising you something he can't keep to you."
"What's that?"
"Being happily married to you."
"What are you talking about?"
"He's only doing this out of pity, because he thinks you deserve someone you think loves you." She laughed then climbed out the van.
"She's a bitch."
"Yeah." My excitement was gone, my eyes looked out the window at the little chapel before us. It was a Vegas chapel cheesy and small. Of course they were letting us get married because it was Vegas, crazy things happened here all the time.
"Phoebe?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay?"
How dare Carla get to me on this great day of days, I'm not going to let her do this, "Yup I'm great let's go."
This time I yanked Ana out of the car, which I got kinda lucky I didn't trip on these heels. My dress would have been ruined, and we couldn't have that. Once we stepped in we were blinded with bright lights and low music. Ana had gotten herself a nice blue dress which was strapless and short, of course she had to look good too. A lady handed me a little bouquet and I smiled accepting it.
We walked Ana's arm wrapped around mine, we made our way in until my eyes found those same hazel ones I love so much. Sam stood next to a guy dressed as cupid, he was dressed in all black his black V-neck, black Levi's, and sneakers. He looked good maybe better than me, Angel stood next to him dressed in the same, all black, and then I saw Carla sitting down still in her red cocktail dress legs showing and all. Ana pulled me in her arms and kissed my cheek as I gripped her tightly, then she handed me to Sam something my dad should have done. But I didn't know him or want dad here, Ana was way better to give me away. She had tears in her eyes as she smiled taking the bouquet from my hands.
Behind me I could hear 'We'll be a dream' by We the kings, the same song that played that night when Sam kissed me and told me how he felt about me, "Is that our song?"
"You know it is."
"Oh Sam."
"I did it just for you."
Sam took my hands and smiled down at me, "Is this really happening?"
"This is happening."
"Good."
Cupid began, "We are gathered here today to bring together Sam Evans and Phoebe Strider in holy matrimony. Did you guys wanna do your own vows or have me give you some?"
We looked at each other and I nodded "Our own vows." Sam smiled.
"Well how about you go first pal?"
"Alright" he cleared his throat and I quivered with excitement "I think about you every day. My life without you isn't one I'd enjoy, Ana I'm sorry but before Phoebe came our time together sucked."
"I can accept that." She smiled.
"Ever since I met you I knew you were going to be my world, I wanted no matter what to be there for you, care for you, and most of all be with you even when I can't. Seeing you happy with other guys made me mad because I wanted to be the guy you lit up around, I love you for you and everything about you. "
My eyes watered as he finished and tried to blink them back, "Phoebe?" Cupid said and I licked my lips.
"Sam you're on my mind constantly, not a minute goes by that we're not together I don't wish you were with me. I wake up thinking about you, I'm dead without you. You make me, me Sam without you I'd be lost in a world I didn't care for. Sam you're my everything, to me nothing could come between us, no matter how big or small. I'll love you for now and forever. Everything about you makes me wanna be a better person just to make sure we live together happily. Sam I love you."
"I love you Phoebe." Tears fell down my face as tears filled his eyes.
"Do you have the rings?"
"Yup right here." Ana pulled out a ring and gave it to me as Angel handed Sam mine.
"Do you Phoebe take Sam as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." I smiled and slipped the ring on Sam's finger before noticing the half heart on it.
"Do you Sam take Phoebe as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." He put the ring on my finger and I saw the other half of the heart which had a crown on it, I smiled and looked at him.
"Does anyone object to these two being married?"
I looked at the three other people in the room, Ana's eyes had tears in them and a grin plastered on her face, Angel had a smirk which told me he was happy for us, but Carla was nowhere in sight which kinda made me happy.
"Well by the power invested in me, and the wicked wedgie this damn diaper is giving me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Sam didn't hesitate as he cupped the sides of my face and kissed me, my arms came to his neck as I kissed him back. The kiss had so much love and passion making me feel weak at the knees.
"Okay you two save it for the honeymoon." Ana joked.
"You're right."
"Wait what..." before I could finish Sam picked me up bridal style and I laughed.
"Here's to the rest of our lives together." Sam looked deep in my eyes as he said it.
"To the end of time." Our lips met again and we left the chapel, ready to start the rest of our lives just me and Sam.
