//AN: ZANDER WANTS ELENA AND ASH TO GET MARRIED IN HIS BIG BACKYARD, ASH INVITED HIS PARENTS AND ELENA INVITED NATE AND AMBER ZANDER INVITED A LOT OF OTHER ARTISTS THAT LIKE ELENA//
I woke up staring at Ash's sleeping face. I put my hand over his cheek and he moves his hand to my wrist.
"Goodmorning." He says in a deep groggy voice.
"Goodmorning." I smile. He holds my hand and looks into my eyes.
"I don't have to work." He says
"Why not?" I ask
"Because we have to finish packing and because it's our wedding day." He tells me, I give him a peck on the lips
"Come on." I say sitting up and looking at the time, eleven. "We have to help set up the place." I say
"Okay." He whines and I stand up taking off my shirt and pants "I'm up." He says, I turn my head and laugh. I put on a bra, light grey spaghetti strap shirt, and black skinny jeans. I put my hair in a quick pony tail and see Ash has on joggers and a dark grey t-shirt. "Why are we always dressed alike?" He laughs
"Whatever." I roll my eyes and feed Aniease.
"Baby if you don't mind me asking," ash start
"What is it?" I ask sitting on the bed
"Who do you want to walk you down the isle?" He asks I sigh and look at him
"I really don't know." I say shrugging my shoulders "maybe Zander? He's always been there for me." I say
"Yeah, he has." Ash sits next to me and grabs my hand "he's done so much for us." I lay my head on his shoulder
"I miss him." I say meaning my dad
"I know." He replies.

Me and Ash walk around in the back yard of Zander's with our hands intertwined. I see people unfolding tables and chairs and stuffing white roses in vases.
"It's so beautiful!" Ash says looking around.
"I know." I say
"The newly weds!" I turn around to see Zander
"Hi Zander." I say hugging him and he kisses both sides of my cheeks.
"Hey Zander." Ash says giving him a hand shake "I appreciate everything you're doing for my wife and us."
"No worries." Zander says smiling "as long as I get to see my client get married and have an amazing non-worried wedding."
"Thanks." Me and Ash say at the same time.
"No problem. Now, Ash Nate said he is your best man and he will also take care of your suit and tie. Elena, Amber is your best woman."
"Zander can I talk to you?" I ask
"Yes, in your dressing room." Zander grabbed my hand and lead me to the room before Ash was taken away from Nate.
"Zander, I want you to walk me down the isle." We stop in my dressing room "my dad, he died last year." I say and start to undress
"I would love too!" He claps his hands in excitement and Amber helps me in my dress, flowers where everywhere even on the tail of the dress.
"Thanks." I smile at him "plus you even made this wedding happen, you need credit."
"Okay, now make-up Amber." Zander told Amber
"Yes sir." She chuckled and made me sit in a chair in front of a mirror.
"Amber aren't you going to get ready?" I ask Amber
"I will after I do you." She smiles at me and brushes through my hair and tightly pack it into a pony-tail so the hairs won't get in her way.
"Then I guess I'll do your make-up and hair?" I ask hopefully and she laughs
"Yes El, yes." She starts to put on foundation to make my face look smooth and that's all I about need for my face, I just need my eyes and lips.
"I'm getting nervous." I sat with shut eyes
"Don't be. You both love each other so much!" She loudly says.
"I know." I say.
"El, have you ever felt like Ash was distant with you?" She asked
"No, why?" I ask
"Nate, he's always on his phone, leaves late at night, and is always secretive." She sadly says
"I don't know what to do? Have you confronted him?" I wonder
"Yes. He said for me to not worry about it." I feel her pout
UNKNOWN POV
I stand outside of Ash's changing room and make a call.
"Hey." Masons voice says through the phone
"Hey boss. The weddings happening today." I tell him
"When will they be leaving to Colorado?" Mason asks
"Tomorrow. We can do our plan after two weeks." I suggest
"Yes. Keep an eye on them. She wants me, but she keeps denying it." Mason hangs up.
ELENAS POV
After an hour Amber gets done with my hair and make-up.
"Okay." I get up and grab her dress and put her into it. "Now, what do you want your hair?" I ask her
"Loose fishtail with flowers in it." She smiles
"Okay." I say and brush her hair thoroughly. I start to straighten it and braid it. "Nate doesn't really seem very much boyfriend material?" I try not to offend Amber
"He told me he wasn't, but he wanted to try right when you came." She wipes her eye. I furrow my eyebrows about how weird he would date her when I came.
"That's weird." I softly say
"Yeah." She replies
"Do you know where he goes when he drives?" I ask
"I tried to follow him, but I think he went to an abandoned warehouse that's halfway from here to the other country. I think he's investing in it." She says
"Yeah, probably." I say and keep on braiding her hair.
~
I put three squirts of me and Ash's favorite perfume on me and so does Amber.
"Are you ready?" Zander pokes his head through the door as I stare at myself in the mirror. I exhale in nervousness.
"I think?" I say. Amber gives me a big hug and then leaves.
"Come on temporary daughter!" Zander yells making me laugh. I hold tightly onto his forearm. "Just deep breaths." He tells me as we walk out of the dressing room.
"I know." I say nervously. Music plays softly and I see everyone stand up gently. Ash is at the end of the isle and looks up at me nervously and smiles angelically.
I hesitantly start to walk and Zander pats my hand to reassure me. I walk down the isle with white rose petals on the sides. I get up to Ash and Zander takes both my hands and looks me dead in the eye.
"I will miss you." He says wiping his eye a little, I smile and give him a hug. "Now, you take care of my temporary daughter." Zander points at Ash and everyone laughs. Ash takes my hand gently and brings me up to his level.
The priest starts to talk and I get lost into Ash's green eyes and he stares into my eyes too.
"Elena Gillian, do you take Ash as your lofty wedded partner?" The priest asks me and I smile
"I do." I say while looking at Ash's smile.
"And do you, Ash Steel take Elena as your loftily wedded partner?" The priest asks Ash
"I do." He smiles brightly and chuckles softly.
"You may now kiss the bride!" The priest says happily and Ash doesn't have to bend down to kiss me this time.
~
Me, Ash, Nate, Amber, and Zander sit at the head of the table while everyone else sits scattered. Me and Ash drink wine while a lot of people are drinking something else.
"Pictures!" I here someone yell. I get up and sit on Ash's lap and the person snaps the picture. One with me and Ash kissing and another with and another with all five (Nate, Amber, and Zander) of us together.
~
Everyone dances slowly and me and Ash sway in the middle. He holds my waist tightly and I have my head on his shoulder.
"I love you." I whisper with our hands intertwined and extended as well.
"I love you too." He replies. We sway gently with no care in the world.
"When will our honey moon be?" I ask Ash and he chuckles.
"We could go to a cabin in Colorado and go to a hot springs?" He suggests
I smile and close my eyes "that'd be nice." I approved.
"Get naked." He sang, He chuckled and so did I
"Whatever." I roll my eyes.
"It'll be relaxing." He claimed.
"Yeah. Let's do it." I say excitedly.
"Okay." He starts "I'll plan it." He softly says.
~
It was around eight o' clock when everyone was gone. Ash intertwines our hands and we go to where he parked his car.
"See you guys later!" I yell out to Amber and Nate who were going to their car they waved bye to me and Ash.
~
Me and Ash finally got to our apartment. He helped me out of my dress and I went into the shower first.
"Baby, we should pack a little today." Ash says from inside the bathroom.
"Sure." I say rinsing off my shampooed hair.
"I'll start right now and take a shower after." He says
"Okay." I say and hear him leave the bathroom.
I step out and dry my body putting on the same sweater that had Nike on it, since it's warm. I put my hair in a bun and leave the bathroom going into the bedroom.
"Here, tape this." Ash tells me and I grab the tape and tape the box that look like it was about to explode.
"You're a fucking idiot!" I laugh historically. I feel Ash grab my hips tightly and throw me on the bed. He gets on top of me and I stop laughing.
"What did you call me? Wife." He adds and I smile.
"I called you," I start and wrap my arms around his neck "an idiot." I chuckled and he kissed me roughly. "Husband." I say against his lips and feel him smirk. He gets off of me and gives me a hand to stand up.
"We need to get at least half way done." Ash said "but that's kind of hard with you parading around in that." Ash whispers to himself and smirk
"Whatever." I say and start to put stuff in this one box "Ash," I say seriously and look at him and he looks at me "has there ever been anything," I try to think of the word "off, about Nate?" I ask
"Like?" He wonders
"Mid-night drives, distracted with his phone, asking questions about me?" I suggested
"Yeah. All of those, actually." He rubs his chin "I thought he was meeting some girl, getting answers, and wanting to know you."
"I don't want to accuse him of something, but" I start, turning around and packing and Ash does the same "there's something about him that just seems like he's working for..." I didn't know how to tell him
"Mason?" Ash asked
"Yes." I sigh in relief "he even started to date Amber when I came."
"Maybe? Maybe not?" Ash addressed.
"There's just something weird about him." I sigh again stuffing things in a box.
"Don't worry too much, El." Ash says behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, I hold his arms with mine and he starts to kiss my neck up and down.
~
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling while Ash is sleeping with his arm securely around my waist with his knees bent a little, I put my right leg over his legs.
I try and add things up about Ash and how I barely know anything about him, how he dates Amber when I come. Things don't add up and can't add up.
I feel Ash move closer to me and in his groggy voice of sleep he tells me "go to sleep baby. I can hear you thinking from here." And he falls asleep right away. I close my eyes and feel his warmth over-power me into sleep.
