About to pull in, just come on out and get in the truck,beautiful.
“Are you sure that you’re all right with this?” I asked Emily as I grabbed my purse from it’s hook next to the front door. I was so nervous to leave the baby for the firsttime.
“Get gone! That man is waiting for you and I can handle a baby. Besides, Annie is here as backup if I need it.” Emily gestured into the living room where her daughter was sitting on the floor crosslegged watchingcartoons.
“Fine!” I hugged her, kissed Mikey on the top of his head and rushed out thedoor.
Hopping into the front seat of the Bronco, I slid into the middle of the front bench seat. Ax threw his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer into hisside.
“You ready fortonight?”
I kissed his cheek before replying, “Heck yes, I am, Mr.Axston.”
We drove out to the back field of my parents’ place where we used to have all of our bonfires when we were growing up. The flames were already blazing and trucks were starting to park in a circle around just like oldtimes.
“This is perfect.” I muttered while glancing up at myfiancé.
“Wait, there’s one more surprise.” He parked the truck next to my brother’s and helped me slide out of the liftedvehicle.
My brother was standing in the bed his truck, holding a binder and amicrophone.
“Come on.” Ryan led me by hand and we climbed into the bed of theSilverado.
Nate handed a vail over to me, helping me put it on my head. “You’re going to need this, sis.” He winked and then cleared his throat before talking into the mic, “Dearly beloved, we have gathered here tonight to marry my best friend and my sister in holymatrimony.”
Ryan beamed at me as I started to get choked up. “Wait!” I gasped. “Mikey, Emily, Annie, Fletch! They can’t miss my damnwedding.”
“How could you ever think that we’d miss it?” Fletch yelled at me from the hood of the Bronco as he helped Annie climb into his lap. Emily was holding Mikey, rocking him softly standing in-between the twotrucks.
I started to look around at all of the people that were gathered around. Friends and family had all shown up Most of the Unacceptables, including Ryder and Raine, were standing in a semi-circle around the bed of Nate’struck.
Tears came to my eyes as looked into Ryan’s midnight iris. “This is perfect.” I whispered to Ryan as he took my hands intohis.
“Good. Now become my wife, damn it!” He winked before kissing myforehead.
