“Oh god! Oh god, Josh!”
I didn’t last another minute. I leaned down and gently bit on her shoulder as I started to come.
Fuck me. Why does every time with her feel like the first time?
Heather collapsed onto the sofa, and I followed. She rolled onto her side, so she was facing me.
“Oh. My. God! Why have we never done it that way before?” Heather smiled at me.
I smiled back before I kissed her. As many girls as I’d been with, I’d never tried that position before. Really, I’d never had them on top ever.
“I’m so glad you found me,” I said.
Tears began building in her eyes. “You found me and saved me. ”
“I love you so much, Heather. I’ll love you forever…for infinity. ”
She kissed me softly on the lips and then rested her forehead against mine. “I love you, Josh. I’d be lost without you. I’ll love you for infinity…plus a little more. ”
I smiled and kissed her nose. “We better get going, babe. We have a long drive, and with your pee breaks, it will take us twelve hours to get there!”
She jumped up and started getting dressed. Lying there, I just watched her. I’d waited for so long to find her, and now, she was almost officially mine. When I glanced down at her stomach, I felt mine take a dip. I’d never thought I could ever be this happy.
I looked over at my iPod sitting on the iHome. I got up and pulled on my pants before walking over to find the song I wanted. When “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts started to play, Heather turned around and looked at me. I gave her my crooked smile, the one that I knew melted her heart, and I held out my hand. She walked up to me and then placed her hand in mine. Pulling her in as close to me as I could, I sang the lyrics to her as I ran my hand through her beautiful blonde hair. When I heard her sniffling, I knew she was crying.
As the song ended, I leaned back and wiped away her tears. “I’ve never in my life…ever…felt this way with anyone. You’re the air that I breathe, the light in my darkness, the hope of my future. ”
She started crying harder as she shook her head. “Josh…” Her voice cracked as she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. “When my parents died…I never thought I would ever feel love again. I didn’t want to feel it because I was so afraid of getting hurt. But when you snuck into my heart…I…I didn’t want to do anything else but love you. I’d rather love you than never have you in my life. I love you with every ounce of my being. I can’t wait to be your wife and the mother of your children. Most of all, I can’t wait to sit on our front porch when we’re eighty years old, bitching about the young couple next door who play their music too loud. ”
I started laughing as I pulled her to me. After I kissed her, I asked, “You ready to be Mrs. Joshua Hayes?”
A tear rolled down her face as she nodded. “More than anything. ”
Chapter Thirty-Nine
As we pulled up to the Peninsula Island Resort and Spa, my heart started pounding. Of course, Jenny was standing outside, waiting for us.
“Holy hell. What time did they get here?” Josh started laughing.
I smiled, but I felt sick to my stomach. I’m getting married tomorrow. Tomorrow. When I glanced over to Josh, he was smiling as he put the truck in park. As he hopped out, I saw Jenny walking up to the truck. She knocked on my window and gave me the sweetest smile as she winked at me.
I slowly opened the door, and she held out her hand for me. When I got out, she leaned up next to my ear.
“It’s okay to be nervous, but everything is going to be beautiful,” she whispered.
I smiled as I took her into my arms and hugged her. “Only you could plan a wedding in a few short weeks, book everyone’s rooms, and make me feel better with just a simple sentence!”
“I love my job! What can I say?”
Aaron walked up. “What did Josh take? He’s high as a kite!”
I looked over at Josh. He was talking away to the bellhop, who was helping him take out the luggage from the back of the truck.
I had to laugh. “He talks a lot when he gets nervous. I think he’s feeling the same way as me. ”
Aaron started shaking his head as he walked toward Josh. They shook hands, and then Aaron leaned in and said something to Josh. Josh snapped his head up and glanced over at me. When I smiled, he gave me that damn panty-melting smile back.
Yep. I can’t wait to be his wife. He winked at me, and I started giggling. If we can both make it through this night, we have it made.
