"Morning sunshine."
"Aah, what are you doing here?" Melissa covered her head with the blanket pushing Mark off the bed.
"Can't I kiss my wife good morning anymore?" He asked pulling the blanket which she held tightly.
"I told you it's bad luck to see the bride on the wedding day."
"We are already married Melissa, it's our first anniversary and we are only renewing our vows." He kept trying to get her from the blanket.
"We are going to the church so it's like a wedding to me besides our whole family will be there. Can you go please, I'll see you in church." She said tightly covering her head.
"Okay, but can I get my morning kiss before I leave? Promise I'll keep my eyes closed." He requested leaning towards her.
Piping under the blanket, Melissa looked at his handsome face. With his eyes closed, for the first time she admire him. With her lips curved up, she looked from his thick eye brows his straight nose to the lips that made her quiver every time they made contact with her bare skin.
"I'm still waiting." He said getting closer.
Pulling down the blanket, Melissa lightly touched her lips to his but he pulled he closer joining their lips deepening the kiss. She mourned with pressure as he sucked and nibbled her lower lip feeling electric ripples run through her body. Quivering as her tongue touched his and his masculine fingers deep into her hair massaging her scalp.
"Mm, I've missed you so much." He groaned kissing her neck tugging down the strap of her lace nightgown.
"Oh Mark, stop please stop, we have to get ready for the ceremony."
"Relax we still have some time..."
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry I'll come back later." Lisa said closing the door as fast.
Feeling awkward, Melissa pushed Mark away covering her face. "This so embarrassing."
"Ha ha I'm sorry I forgot to close the door." He said laughing her reaction.
"Get out." With the blanket over her head she threw a pillow at him as he locked the door behind him.
After showering, Nancy and Lisa come to style her hair and helped with the make-up while Jenifer sat enjoying herself.
"Lisa can you stop giggling." Melissa slapped her on the back of the hand.
"I'm sorry, I just can't forget the expression on your face when I walked in on you." She said teasing her.
"Why, what did you see?" Nancy asked trying to get every juice from her.
"It's nothing, let concentrate on getting me ready." She said dismissing them. "Jenny honey, can you help me with the dress?" She inquired looking at Jenifer seated on the sofa.
"Mm this is so yummy, better than the one I usually buy." Jenifer said enjoying the pie in her hand. "Hey stop, give it back that's mine." She complained when Nancy took the plate from her lap.
"Jenny how many of these have you eaten?" Nancy asked keeping the pie from her.
"The baby wants more, what can I do?" She said pouting her mouth.
"Give back her pie or she starts crying again. My God I never knew pregnancy was this hard." Lisa said walking to the closet to get Melissa dress.
"Jenifer you can't indulge every time you feel like, try to control yourself sweety okay. Too much won't be good for your health and the baby." Squatting beside her, Melissa coaxed taking away the plate.
"Okay then, can we talk about something fun to keep my mind off that pie starring at me." Jenifer said standing up with Melissa's support.
"Being in love makes you growl, I see it on all three of you. I should get myself a guy out their today." Nancy voiced lightening up the mood.
"What happened to the date you had for today?" Lisa asked getting her dress.
"What date? Nancy has a crash on Jason, she say's no to every guy who asks her out." Jenifer blurted then covered her mouth when she realized she had said too much.
"We are running out of time, they will get impatient waiting." Nancy got herself ready ignoring their questioning stares.
Once they were all dressed, they walked to the sitting room joining the rest of the family waiting for Melissa to walk down the stairs. "This is it Melissa. Time to go meet the love of your life." With a bright smile on her face and sparkling eyes staring back at her, she told Melissa on the other side of the mirror dressed in a pure white mermaid gown with a veil fixed over her head. Putting on the gold earrings that belonged to her grandmother given by her grandfather, she looked more and more dashing.
Every step she took down the stairs in her white strapless heels while her son, aunt, brother, grandfather and her three best friends watched her felt so unreal. A few months ago she thought her marriage was over but now she had another chance to celebrate her love with the whole family present. The family she never knew existed and the people who over the months have became so dear to her. They have held her hand in good and bad times always supporting her and never judging her whenever she made a mistake.
"You look so beautiful dear." Betty held her hand as they walked out. "This is a happy day dear, don't shed any tears or you will spoil your make up." Feeling emotional she smiled wiping Melissa's face.
"Thank you aunt for taking good care of me and always supporting me." Melissa hugged her aunt feeling emotional all over again as they drove to the church.
Walking down the aisle she looked from her grandfather to her brother beside her, his smile ever reminding her of her father. Smiling back she wished her parents were still a live to hand her over in marriage as her her brother and grandfather did.
"You are breathtakingly gorgeous." Mark whispered to her while lifting the veil waking her from her never ending thoughts.
Gazing deep into his eyes she smiled, as he smiled back at her saying vow's imprinted in their heart's.
Taking the ring's Spark brought with Tommy beside him, Mark rolled the ring down her finger then sealed their union with a kiss as directed by the priest while everyone stood up cheering and congratulating them.
"Welcome to the family, I'm so happy for the two of you." Mark mother hugged Melissa the tenth time at the reception.
"Mother can I have my wife now?" Mark asked taking Melissa's hand.
"Okay, go on dear." She smiled at them as they went to the dance floor for the first dance. "They remind me of the day we got married." She leaned to her husband kissing him not mind the numerous guest looking their way.
Holding Melissa in his arm's with family and friends watching them was a dream come true. From the very first day he saw her he knew she was the only one for him. Looking at her sunny smile and her sparkling eyes Mark wanted her more. Never did he think he would fall in love more deeper with her than he was five years ago. Every time he watched her in that park back then he wished she would look at him and say she loved him as much as he did.
"We have gone through so much the past year. I don't want to ever lose you." He said caressing her cheek.
Briefly closing her eyes she snuggled in his arm. "I'm yours forever Mark no one can keep us a part."
"I love you so much."
Still dancing with her eyes closed, Melissa heard a commotion behind her, when she opened her eyes and looked back. She saw the one person she didn't expect to see on her wedding day.
"Sasha? What are you doing here?" Mark asked holding Melissa protectively.
Dressed in a long white strapless dinner dress with a long slit ending slightly above her knee, Sasha stood before the newly wed's. Her lips curved up with wrinkles at the corner of her eyes as she looked through her craps bag. Everyone in high alert fearing what she may do.
