-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to my wonderful beta..Carolyn..love ya. Thanks to Rach...my muse...you really are..love ya. Also thanks to Sid, Mari and Karen, for being my other eyes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WPS 21 Justin I’m looking in the mirror and remembering how this day finally came about. How I fought to have Brian with me, while having had to stand by as he awaited the divorce from his first husband. I have to laugh at the thought of that. I feel arms around my waist and know it’s Brian. “So glad you don’t believe in that ‘can’t see the bride on the wedding day shit.’” He laughs as he kisses my neck. “Well I’m not really a bride.” Turning around in his arms, kissing him. Brian moans in my mouth. “No you’re far from being a bride.” He smiles, gazing into my eyes and I look deep into his, knowing he’s hurting. “I’m sorry.” I whisper. “Not going to happen today. I’m not going to let ‘him’ ruin this day without even being here.” Brian’s kissing me once again. “Now finish getting ready.” Slapping my ass he heads back into the other room. Smiling at myself in the mirror once more I can’t help but feel someone watching me, I turn around to see Brian there with Heath, Emmett, Daphne and Ben. “Hey Justin, I brought in a few people we wanted to talk to.” Brian does his tongue in cheek and ushers them in to sit on the bed. “Yeah, we wanted to talk to you. Em, Daph I was kinda hoping you would stand up for me today?” Em jumps up and hugs me as Daph smiles. “Of course we will baby.” Emmett gushes out as Daph hugs me, whispering in my ear. “I didn’t think you would ever ask, of course I will.” Kissing me on the lips I hug her back. Brian looks at Ben and Heath. “And I need a few good men to stand up for me. So, you know of any?” Brian jokes and we all laugh. “Seriously, I would like you both to do me the honor of standing up with me.” “Brian, are you sure?” Ben asks as Brian puts a hand out. “Yes, I couldn’t think of a better man then you Ben, or Heath. Even though he’s my ex, it doesn’t mean he’s not a good man.” “Thanks Brian, I would be honored.” Heath hugs us both. I sit back on the bed and watch the interaction with them as Daph sits next to me. “You’ve come so far. I remember when we ran away.” I laugh, stopping her. “Correction, you wanted to run away and I didn’t want you to go alone. So I went with you.” I feel her slap my leg. “Yea we got what two blocks before you started calling me a weirdo girl and ran back home.” I give a strange look. “That’s because we were in the sixth grade and didn’t have jobs.” I laugh out. “Yea well you could’ve at least walked me back home.” Brian looks over at us and I burst into laughter. “I remember the day you told me about him.” She said nudging her head towards Brian. “You said you saw the face of GOD and his name was ‘Brian Kinney’ and how he said he loved you when he came in you.” Smiling, leaning over to her “and I was right.” She pushes me with her arm. “As long as he keeps you this happy, then I’ll leave his big balls alone.” Hugging me she stands up and Brian hugs her. “And I know you heard that Kinney.” “Love you too, Beautiful, and no worries, I’m not going to hurt him.” She nods and moves away from us as Brian pulls me into him. “Reliving your youth?” “Yea we were talking about a few things.” He kisses my lips and smiles. Brian “Like our first time. And the first I saw you under the lamp. And the first time I heard your voice, or saw that ‘Sunshine’ smile.” Grinning up into my eyes I can’t help but feel weak in the knees. “Brian…” He tries to play it off and I know he will know what I feel when I read my vows. “Ok, so what is it about me you were talking about, other then me being ‘GOD’ and you loving me that moment you saw me?” I can’t help the smile on my face as he looks up, pulling my head down to kiss me. “Justin, do you remember when you cut your hair because you got gum in mine and I had to get it cut and you didn’t want me to be the only one with short hair?” I look at Daph who grins at me. “What, save you’re sappy stuff for your vows.” “She’s right Sunshine, as always.” Kissing him once again I move away before I say fuck the commitment ceremony and I take off with him right now. “Brian, come here and leave them alone.” I go over to Ben, Heath and Emmett. “You alright?” Ben asks me. Simply nodding I look over at Justin who’s once again laughing with Daphne. “I couldn’t be better.” I look back to the boys who are all smiling as I look at Heath. “You know Brian, I never thought I would be the best man at my ex-husband’s wedding, commitment ceremony.” Laughing I put my arm around him. “Well that makes two of us. I never thought I would have two of my white party secrets standing up at my ceremony either.” Looking at Ben who laughs. “Fuck you Brian.” Ben grunts out as Emmett moves closer. “I almost forgot that you fucked Ben too.” Emmett giggles. “I’m the only guy in this room you haven’t fucked.” “That’s because you’re more woman than I want to handle.” He laughs out loud as he hits me. Deb walks in, “Okay boys, are you ready?” Looking over at Justin, who’s smiling back and nods, “I think we’re ready, just give us about five minutes.” After they all walk out I go over to Justin who is looking at himself in the mirror and I wrap my arms around him. “This is our last chance to run away.” Looking me in the eyes, he smiles, “Not on your life Kinney.” Kissing his neck and turning him to face me, “Good, because I’m not running away anymore. Not unless it’s to your arms.” I can see the sparkle in his eyes that I have always loved seeing and can’t wait to see every morning. Walking out we smile at our guests as I walk ahead of him and let his mother walk him down the aisle to me and into my life forever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next chapter..is the one you have ALLLL been waiting for, the wedding.
