Chapter 125
Smiles and Lisa arrived at the church alongside Grandma Shiley, they looked so beautiful in the all-white dress.
Both girls were super happy, but Smiles was on the edge.
Even though she knows things will turn out fine, she couldn’t help but sweat remembering the last time her long dream wedding was ruined.
As soon as their car stops, she helps herself out not minding how heavy her dress is. She rushed out and was met by Her dad and Mr Austin.
Since she came back, she hasn’t got the time to visit them. She was happy to see them but she didn’t have the time to spend with them as her eyes darted around, looking for a certain someone.
Her heart calls out to Keane, and she pushes herself through climbing up the stairs.
“Heading somewhere dear wife?” Keane sounded from behind.
Smiles could feel her heart flutter in excitement as she turns to him, without a word, she throws herself into his arms.
“You are here, thank God” she breathes out, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She can’t tell how scared she was, to imagine him not showing up.
“I will always be here, with you. You are the only place I would love to be, dear wife” he whispers into her ears, caressing her back.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
He understands her fears, and there is no way he will take a second chance to hurt her again… never.
Feeling happy and loved, the duo was about to kiss when Grandma Shiley spoke from behind.
“I doubt if it will kill you two to wait a few more hours,” Grandma said, shaking her head.
Smiles lowers her head, feeling embarrassed.
“I don’t mind kissing her a thousand times over and over again, don’t know why we have to go through all these formalities but because my wife agrees, I’m good with it,” Keane said, not minding the fact he’s talking to his grandma
“Impatient as always, ” Grandpa Jimmy said, intertwining his hands with Grandma Shiley.” Shall we? ” He asked, and Grandma Shiley nodded.
It was time for the mass to begin, the family members walked in all dressed beautifully.
The first is Nate and Kate, with Nate in his nice petite black suit and Kate in a white puffy princess dress.
Followed behind were Grandma Shiley and Grandpa Jimmy who looked all loving regardless of the number of years they had been married.
The next was Austin, then, Mr/Mrs Warren.
Xena and the mother-in-law followed behind. Everyone looked so happy.
It was time for the grooms to make their entry. Smiles couldn’t help but wonder who would walk them to the aisle.
Just then, Fiona pops out from the corner.
She was surprised but the happiness on her face couldn’t be hidden.” Mom, you are here. Thought you will not come” she said in an almost teary tone.
” Even if it’s my last day on earth, I won’t miss this day for anything. Not when my babies are getting married” Fiona wipes away her tears.
“Wait, you ain’t mad at me again? ” She asked, and Smiles nodded.
” Oh child, thank you so much and I’m sorry for everything ” Fiona cries, she can’t help.
She didn’t know she was welcome to their wedding because she never received an invitation but then, Keane and Derrick suddenly burst out of the blue. She was so happy, but to top it all she was grateful for Lisa.
It’s all possible because of her.“I don’t know how to thank you, you are a good child ” Fiona reached out to Lisa.
Smiles gave her a sweet smile,” I might not be a mom yet but I understand how much it hurts to be left out during such a memorable event. You deserve to be happy, everyone does. “Lisa said.
Fiona couldn’t explain how happy and grateful she felt, with no words, she pulled her for a tight hug.
She turns to Derrick and Keane and hugs them showing both equal love.
“I don’t think the priest had the entire day for us, shall we?” Keane said in a playful tone.
“Sure, pardon my tears.” Fiona chuckles and wipes away her tears.
After cleaning herself properly, she wraps her hands around both men’s arms. Keane to the right, Derrick to the left and walk them down the aisle.
It was now time for the brides to make their entry.
Mark greets Smiles and gives her one last hug. Even though he didn’t get the chance to be with her in this life, he hopes he will be blessed in the next.
After their happy greetings and congratulations, He holds onto Lisa’s arms, ready to walk her through.
“I know I have never told you this, but I love you, and you will forever be my sister no matter what,” Mark said and wiped away her tears.
“I love you too, brother” she confessed, her stomach was bubbling in excitement but the moment she started to walk down the aisle, she could no longer explain how happy she was feeling.
Smiles was the last to go down, Wright as her dad was there to walk her.
“I know I’ve never been the father you’ve wished for, I’ve been the cause of your pains and tears but… I’ve never stopped loving you and I am proud of you, and I’m so lucky to have a beautiful and understanding daughter like you. I wish I could turn back time to show you just how much you mean and matter to me… “he pauses,” regardless, I love you from the depth of my heart, and I’m honored to walk you on this special and memorable day” He leans down and places a kiss on her forehead.
“It doesn’t matter how short we got to spend time with each other, all that matters is I love you and I am happy to finally have a dad, not just a dad but a super dad. ” Smiles feel so fulfilled, being in his dad’s embrace is enough to calm her rumbling heart.
But that heart of hers starts racing on its own when she starts to walk down the aisle, staring at the crowd. Everything was so beautiful.
Her eyes darted everywhere, she saw her family, her loved ones. Nate and Kate standing beside Grandma and Grandpa, her mom, Mr. Austin, Xena, her once best friend, and many others.
Her heart threatened to explode when her gaze met with Keane’s. He is the only place she would love to be in, forever.
Wright places her hands on Keane’s, as he leads her to the altar. The priest did the process and began with their marriage vows.
Neither of them could wait for him to complete his words as they all answered in unison.
After a while, their vows were taken with each one of them promising to love the other till death do them part. But Keane was romantic enough to promise her even after death.
“Where will you be going for your honeymoon?” Lisa asked Smiles
“I don’t know,” Smiles answered honestly as they walked out of the church.
She hasn’t thought of that yet.” Where are we going for our honeymoon, hubby? ” She asked Keane.
“I won’t want to be disturbed when having a special time with my beautiful wife, so, I will be kidnapping you to an Island I got two days ago ” He smiles at her.
” Aww, that’s so sweet ” Smiles couldn’t help but blush.
” We will be going to an Island Keane got for us,” She tells Lisa.
” Great!” Lisa sounds happy.
” You? ” Smiles return the question.
” Toronto, it’s always been my dream to go there and Derrick agrees to it,” She said, giggling.
Both ladies were super happy.
When they were outside, the single ladies lined up behind, as Smiles and Lisa threw their flow.
It so happened that both flowers fell on one girl, the girl Bruce brought alone as his companion.
“Time for someone to get messy and confused” Keane jokes, Derrick laughs along.
“All the best man, I can’t wait to attend your wedding and carry your baby ” Keane taps on Bruce’s shoulder.
“Me too,” Derrick adds as they hug him.
“In your dreams,” Bruce said nonchalantly, as always. But deep down, he knows it will happen anytime soon.
From the first time he saw Tianna, he could tell there was something different and special about her. And no matter how much he tried to brush it off, he couldn’t.
“Don’t let him slip off your hands, make sure he is under you begging for your mercy” Smiles whispers to Tinna who chuckles in response.
“All the best, see you” Both ladies greet each other as they walk to their husbands.
Nate runs to Smiles” Mom, come back with a baby brother for me” he said innocently.
Smiles chuckles and places a kiss on his forehead, “Sure honey” She turns to Kate and kisses her too.
“You both be good, don’t stress grandma too much,” She said entered the car and waved them goodbye.
The crowd cheers at the couples leaving.
Keane leans closer and kisses Smiles, his kiss is passionate, demanding yet promising. “I love you, dear wife,” he confessed.
“If I am given the chance to meet you all those three consecutive times, and be your slave, I will happily agree over and over again ’cause I know I will end up in your warmth and loving arms… I love you, King Husband ” Smiles said and kissed him, with everything she’s got.
THE END.
