Soul-Mates Forever (30 page)

The light bulb went off in my head, and I smile. I push him back, grab his hand and start pulling him all the way to the booth. As we get closer my mom raises her head from her menu and stares at us. I stop us dead in front of our table, Marcus bouncing into my back so I pull his hand for him to stand next to me. “Mom! I’ve had a brilliant idea!” Still holding Markie’s hand, I guide him into the booth with me and we start the big conversation. As I talk excitedly, Mom’s eyes go wide and then soften, her smile tells me she’ll do what I need and Markie? Well, he’s bouncing up and down in his seat and jumping into the plans both feet first. Now if I can just get everyone else up to speed. By the time we leave the Café, Mom, Markie and I made a ton of calls, ate lunch and Mom had three pieces of paper, that she got from an ecstatic Betty, with everything written down. Let the fun begin!

When we arrive back home and walk into the living room, my heart stops when I see Tuck sitting on the couch, holding an ice pack against his right eye and his arm around his waist. I abruptly turn to Marcus, cross my arms pushing my girls up, which are getting larger by the minute, and smirk. “What in the fuck did you do to my man?”

He takes a step back and smiles, his hands up in surrender. “Now, your bitchiness. Calm down. You knew I hit him, he told you that. Don’t blame me after you didn’t call me and tell me your plans. I… I couldn’t help myself. It was spur of the moment, ya know?”
Oh! Using my own words against me! UGH!

I look back at Tuck who is giving me his cocky, sexy dimpled smile and back at Mr. Fireball. “Now this really sucks now doesn’t it?” Marcus lowers his hands, walks over to me and places them on my upper arms.

“Queenie, I can do wonders with makeup, right? I’m the best! Now, don’t worry about a thing. I’ve got this!” He puts his arm around me and leads me into the living room, stopping right in front of the couch. Tuck looks up at me, cocks his head and has the most confused look on his gorgeous face.
Too cute!

“Babe! Guess what? We’re getting married tomorrow!” His eye widens and his mouth drops open. “Well, with Markie showing up here I got a brilliant idea to go ahead and have the wedding tomorrow in our backyard. Betty is going to get with Peter and cater all the food and have him make the cake. Mom and Lily are busy running around town shopping and making calls and Markie here will do my hair and makeup and um, put some makeup on your eye to help cover his bad timing.” I look over at Marcus, who is looking rather proud and back to Tuck. “Isn’t this brilliant?”

Tuck lays down the ice pack and I gasp when I see his swollen shut eye, purple and black already forming around it. I look back over at Marcus, who is tiptoeing out of the room into the kitchen, and back at Tuck. Placing my hand carefully on his eye, he closes his other one. “Oh, my sexy rocker, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.” His hand covers mine against his eye and he sighs. “Well, if it’s any consolation, it does make you look really tough.” We both burst out in laughter and then he pulls me into his arms.

“I love the idea of getting remarried tomorrow.” He kisses my lips softly and leaves his pouty ones there. I lick his bottom lip. “And… No one, especially Marcus, is putting makeup on me.” I jump and giggle when he smacks my behind. “Sounds like we need to get busy cleaning up around here, beauty.”

We spend the rest of our day and into the evening cleaning the house and Tuck, Marcus and Dad cooked out some steaks for dinner while us girls made all the rest of the food in the kitchen. Well, we were talking about tomorrow, and laughing as we fixed the rest. After dinner Mom, Lily, Lana, Cassie, Allie and I spent our time in the spare bedroom as Allie fitted my wedding dress that Mom bought me while Tucker, Marcus, Dad, Alan, Jesse and Shane spent their time down finishing the basement. I was exhausted when I crawled into bed, alone, around midnight.

“Mmmmm,” I moan as I feel something fire me up inside. Wet mouth kissing my stomach, my ribs and then encasing a breast, sucking and nipping while a harder than hard cock infiltrates inside of me. My hips buck, and my arms move around Tuck’s long and soft hair as my eyes open a slit to see his face etched in ecstasy. “Oh, sexy!” I yell out in a guttural moan as I climax, his head bowing back, eyes closed and the look of pure satisfaction spreading across his gorgeous face as he cries out my name. He collapses beside me and I move in close, our sweaty bodies entangling with each other’s. “Aren’t we not supposed to have sex the night before we get married?” I giggle, my hand on his chest and his arm pulling me even closer.

He looks down at me, his cocky grin showing brightly. “Oh, my bad. Ah, fuck ‘em! We’re getting remarried anyway.” We both laugh, and I snuggle in deeper. He brushes my hair over my shoulder and starts playing with it. “I’m too tired to get us cleaned up, baby. We’ll just clean up extra hard in the morning and wash the sheets.” He kisses my forehead as I nod and yawn and I close my eyes, a huge smile on my face.

The next day is a whirlwind. Tuck and I did manage to clean each other rather well, twice, in our morning shower. Tuck went out to help the guys string lights up around the back deck and front porch then all over the backyard trees. A company came and pitched a huge tent in front of the pond for the dinner/reception and a smaller tent closer to the deck but off to the side for the ceremony. Both tents have lights outlining the outside with a beautiful dark lavender carpet that leads from the bottom of the deck steps to both entrances. The reception tent has lights all over inside and set up tables and a stage. Another company came and delivered glasses, dinner plate and silverware, cloth napkins and centerpieces. Then Mom and all the girls decorated the deck and backyard with silk flower arrangements, signs, and balloons all over the place as well as inside the house. I spent a fair time in the afternoon sitting in the bathtub with lilac salts and then Marcus gave me a manicure and pedicure. By the time I’m done I am shaved, plucked and polished and am sitting at the makeup table in my bedroom with Marcus doing his masterpiece.

“Girl, you’re gonna look more beautiful with that pregnant glow about you than ever before.” He’s brushing some powder on my cheeks when the door opens. Mom scurries over and pushes it until there’s only a crack open. Marcus’ head whips around and he frowns. “Tucker, dammit man, you can’t see the bride before the wedding, you idiot!”

In the mirror I see my beloved’s cocky smile as he tries to peek inside the room. “Hey, can’t knock a man for tryin’! Damn, it’s worse than Fort Knox! Ok, ok! I give… Just wanted to tell my beautiful and sexy woman that I love her and will see her soon. Love you, my beauty.” Mom practically shuts the door on his face and turns the lock. She leans her back against the door, crosses her arms and laughs.

“Gotta give him an ‘A’ for effort. He really loves you, sweetheart. You couldn’t have picked a better man,” she says smiling at me. The tears start to form in my eyes, and Marcus starts cussing at me, wiping them away with a Kleenex and yelling that I’m gonna ruin his perfect makeup masterpiece. My mom walks over, plucks out a few Kleenex and starts drying her eyes, and Lily gives me a hug and does the same thing.

“I’m so proud of my boy and so glad I’m back in his life again and yours. I have so much to be thankful for and so much time to make up for.” She hugs me again and kisses my cheek until Marcus shushes her away, and I start laughing.

“You ladies will have to leave if you keep making her cry and smudging her makeup,” he says over his shoulder as he touches up my face. “Seriously, what I have to put up with. Trying to make you perfect and you go and cry and start ruining my work.” My eyes travel to his face to see the tears streaming down, and I can’t help but tear up again. “Oh, Lordy woman. Now stop that! It’s almost time!” And that’s how it all begins.

The backyard is all a glitter with lights strung from the trees and around the deck. The tent is all alit with lights trimming the outside of it and all inside making it all seem like a fairytale. I’m standing by the window in our bedroom, alone, with the drapes pulled over a bit so no one will see me. I watch as all of the town are milling around the yard, talking and laughing, while some are walking into the smaller tent. I don’t see my sexy man anywhere but see my mom and Lily running around and fixing last minute things. A clearing of a throat catches my attention so I let go of the drape and turn to find my dad standing there with a sweet smile gracing his face. “Are you ready, my dear? There is a very eager man waiting for you in the tent. He’s actually about to drive everyone crazy.” Laughing I slowly walk to my dad, put my arm through his and lean up to kiss his cheek.

“I thought you’d never ask,” I tell him laughing. He guides me out of the room and down the stairs. Lana runs over and hands me the most beautiful lilac with baby’s breath bouquet. “Oh, Lana. It’s beautiful” She smiles and I kiss her cheek then she moves in front of me. Allie approaches me and I pull my arm out of my dad’s and hug her. “Oh, baby girl. I’m so happy you’re here with me.” She peck’s my mouth with hers and rubs my back.

“Don’t you dare start crying or Marcus will have a cow!” She says laughing. I carefully wipe under my eyes with my thumb and Allie nods and smiles at me and then takes her place right in front of me and Dad. I look ahead and see Lana right in front of the back sliding doors, and Allie and then I look at Dad. Taking a deep breath I nod at him and face back forward.

The music out in the tent is faint but my heart starts racing when I hear it. Looking over at Dad I can see the proud look on his face as he winks and smiles at me. “Sure you want to go through with this,” he asks. I smack his shoulder and then put my arm through his again as I laugh. Lana opens the sliding door, turns her head, smiles at me and then turns back and walks through. Allie does the same but blows a kiss at me before she starts to walk, her little bulge of a tummy sticking out a little from her beautiful lavender dress. As we walk out onto the deck and stop I look around the yard. It’s all aglow with the lights in the trees and the outside of the tents making it not even seem like it’s nighttime. It’s beautiful. I can hear the talking and laughter coming from inside the ceremony tent as Dad leads me down the deck stairs and then the hush as we get closer to the entrance. We stop right inside and I look over at the left side to the front of the tent where Spike is sitting behind a keyboard, Granger is standing there with his guitar and Turner with his. My eyes move to my girls’ standing there smiling and looking at me and then I move over to see the guys but get no further than my man when my eyes meet his. My heart moves up into my throat when I look at him in his black tux, his trimmed beard with that cocky and sexy as fuck grin on his face, his left brow raised in that seductive look of his.
Damn, I’m horny. Not now!
I’m startled when the music starts playing the wedding march, I look at Dad winking at me and then I look back at my hot man. He motions with two fingers pointing at my eyes and then to him, telling me to keep looking at him as I walk.
I don’t know why I’m so nervous. Hell, I just got married a week ago in front of a bunch of people I don’t know. Maybe that’s why. All my family and friends are here and more of the town gathered around.
My flowers begin to shake a little as Dad and I start our walk. When we get almost to the front he turns me towards him and leans over and kisses my cheek.

“I couldn’t be more proud,” he whispers in my ear. He turns us back towards the minister and clears his throat. When the minister asks who gives this woman in holy matrimony my dad stands up straight and looks at me. “Her mother and I do.” He kisses me again, places my hand into Tucks and walks over to sit by Mom.

Tuck pulls me up beside him and we face the minister but his hand is squeezing mine, and I can’t help the waterworks that start in my eyes. We stand there patiently, well, impatiently for my sexy man, until the minister finishes talking to the crowd and then to us. Finally, we turn to face each other holding both hands and looking into each other’s eyes.

My beauty. I’m so thankful that you came into my life, just like the angel you are. You took my breath away as soon as my eyes fell on you and from there, there was no turning back. You still my beating heart with every glance you make my way and you stop my breath with every giggle and laughter that leaves your beautiful mouth but you fill my heart with your love and keep me breathing with your happiness. You’re full of life, spirit and love. You’re my soul-mate forever and ever, until I breathe no more.

I reach up and dab at my eyes with the white handkerchief that Mom had tucked in the sleeve of my dress and then placed my hand back into his. His dimpled smile catches my breath and gives me the courage to go on.

My sexy rocker. I never imagined that anyone would be able to break down the high walls I had built over my lifetime but the moment I saw you I knew you were the one. Your cocky ways, and your gorgeous dimpled smile blew me away. Your tender care, always being there for me and anyone else that needs you, showed me how big your heart was and what a loving person you are. You fill my heart with love and happiness. You’re my soul-mate forever and ever, until I breathe no more.

We put our rings back onto each of our ring fingers that we had taken off earlier and he brings my hand up to his mouth and kisses mine. We let go of one hand and turn to face the crowd as the minister announces us husband and wife, again, and everyone stands and cheers. I lean over, take my beauty into my arms and kiss her with all the passion and love that I feel inside me. Of course the bandmates start whooping. I laugh as Tuck raises our entwined hands up in the air and turns to give me his sexy, cocky ass smile.

We walk quickly down the aisle and straight to the house as everyone continues shouting their congratulations. Tuck leads me through the kitchen, up the stairs and into our bedroom, shutting the door with his foot and his mouth latches onto mine. We quickly get undressed, him helping me out of my dress, and make fast but passionate love as we know everyone will be waiting for us in the reception tent.
God I love my sexy rocker!
