Wanted

I looked over to one table and they were setting mason jars all on it. That table would contain lemonade, sweet tea and ice water. Next to that was a giant trough that would have ice in it and filled to the max with beer. Last night Gu

The other table had the wedding cakes on it. The groom’s cake was a 4 tiered chocolate cake that had an orange longhorn on the front of each layer. There were chocolate covered strawberries on the edge of each layer and on the top of the cake. All along the bottom of the cake were small chocolate footballs and helmets. The bride’s cake was a three tier white butter cream cake with silver beaded accents on it. It was sitting on a piece of oak that Gu

Then I saw the fire pit that Gu

The trees were all filled with white lights that would turn on right at dusk. I could not wait to see what it looked like! I looked around at all of the games that were set up everywhere. Horse shoes, croquet, washers…it was perfect. I had to giggle at the quilt on the ground with the chess set on it. That must have been Garrett’s idea.

“Ellie honey it all looks so beautiful.” Ari said as we started to walk towards the barn. Oh my god….this did not look like the same barn! I don’t know how Drake and the boys did it but the slab floor was cleaned and white lights where everywhere! The band was already setting up in the corner along with the DJ. I was feeling overwhelmed yet so happy. I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I started to cry. I was going to be Gu

“Ellie! What’s wrong?”Ari said as she took me in her arms.

“Nothing it’s all just so beautiful. More beautiful than I could have ever imagined…..” I was crying like a baby. Oh god…I was starting to hyperventilate. What the fuck was wrong with me?

“Ellie, breathe! Sweets you have to breathe! Hum, Je

I didn’t even notice Ari and Je

I can’t get enough air…...OH MY GOD…… I am going to die before I even get married!

“Ellie darling look at me. Look right at me.” Emma said as she grabbed my face to look at her.

“Ellie take a deep breath in and blow it out.”

I tried I really did……all I could take was small gasps of air and that was starting to not be enough. Emma turned to Ari.

“Aria

Ari turned and ran into the house screaming out Gu

Not thirty seconds later there he was. He came out of the screen door and our eyes met. He came ru

“Ellie baby what’s wrong?” Gu

He grabbed my hands and I felt that familiar jolt of electricity. I instantly felt the tightness in my chest let up and I was able to take a deep breath. I threw myself at him and hugged him as hard as I could. He got up and lifted me up with him. I wrapped my legs around him and he started to walk off to the other side of the porch away from everyone. God I loved to be in his arms like this. It was my favorite way for him to hold me.

He was ru

What?! NEVER!

I kept my face buried into him. My god he smelled so damn good. I was starting to get that ache in between my legs.

“NEVER! I want nothing more than to marry you Drew Mathews. I’m not sure what happened to be honest. All I know is I needed to see you and the thought of not being able to see you at that moment, I guess it made me panic. I love you! I love you so much!”

“Jesus baby you scared me. I love you too Ellie. I love you so damn much it hurts.”

I pulled back and looked into his eyes. “I feel the same way!”

He just laughed.

“You know we’re not supposed to see each other before the wedding. They say it’s bad luck.”

“I know for a fact that is not true. Emma told me that she and Garrett saw each other the morning of their wedding. Look how happy they are!”

Gu

“Can we sneak off somewhere real quick?” I asked as I pushed myself into him.

“My greedy greedy little girl. What am I going to do with you?” Gu

“Um, Ellie…we really need to get you back and start getting ready.”

I looked at Gu

“Soon, baby……soon.” He slid me down his body in that oh so slow way he had.

“See ya soon?” I said as I looked up at him.

“See ya soon baby.”

After we got back from checking everything out I felt so much better. I think just being in Gu

“I just ca

Jet was doing my hair and I loved it! She curled it all in big curls and then piled it all on my head. She pulled pieces of my hair down to frame my face and the back of neck. I smiled as I watched her put baby’s breath all throughout my hair. I gave Gu

Jet was going on and on about something. I had tuned her out after the first five minutes and just thought about Gu

“Ellie did you hear me honey?”

I opened my eyes to see Jet staring at me.

“Oh, I’m so sorry; what was that?”

“How do you like it honey, your hair. Do you like it?”

I looked into the mirror. I looked perfect. I had just a small amount of makeup on but the way Ari did my eye makeup really made my blue eyes stand out. The tint of pink on my lips was perfect and my hair…...my hair looked beautiful. Was that even me in the mirror?

“Jet……it is just so amazing. I love it so much! It looks elegant yet simple.”

Jet smiled from ear to ear then picked up a can of hair spray and sprayed the shit out of my hair. God I needed oxygen by the time she was done. Clearly she didn’t hear the NO spraying hair spray inside rule.

I didn’t even notice Ari, Amanda and Heather each going behind the giant sheet that was placed so everyone could change. I looked over and saw Ari walking out in the pale pink sleeveless sundress. Oh my…...she took my breath away. The gray silver cowboy boots she had on were perfect……just like she said they would be. She smiled at me as she put on her white cowboy hat. I wanted to jump up and down it looked so fucking good! Just then I saw Amanda and then Heather. They looked like super models……all three of them. I just stared at them. They started to laugh and Ari said something to Heather about getting the same reaction from Josh. Heather hit Ari in the arm and told her to go to hell.
