Wanted

I never wanted this moment to end. I never in my life felt so loved and wanted as I did at this very moment. I would love this man with everything I had in me for the rest of my life. I would do everything in my power to make him just as happy as he has made me.

I looked up at him and smiled as he smiled down to me.

“Drew…...it’s another first.”

He looked at me confused. “What is baby?”

“This……this feeling……it’s a first for me.”

“Tell me Ellie.”

“I have never in my life…..ever felt so completely loved and……..wanted.”

Gu

No, It was……..heaven……

Evening had already come and the lights in the trees were turned on by someone. Probably Je

Gu

“So are you going to change or stay in that dress?” Ari asked with a wiggle of her eyes.

Gu

“I guess I’m keeping the dress on!”

Ari let out a laugh and hit Gu

“If you think she looks beautiful in the dress, wait until you see what she has on underneath the dress. Or all the little outfits I packed in her suitcase.”

Gu

“Ari, I always knew there was a reason I liked you so damn much.”

“Damn straight ass wipe and you better spoil her rotten on the honeymoon or I’ll punch you in the nuts and not think twice about it.”

With that Ari turned and walked away. I had to laugh. I loved her so much. I thought about the whole situation with Jefferson. Ari didn’t know it but Je

“We need to do something special for Je

“Baby I’m already one step ahead of you. I booked them a room at the Marriott in Austin for the next two nights. I had Jeff go and leave them some gift cards for a few restaurants also and Gramps hired a whole crew to come and clean everything up and take it all down. Je

I turned around and looked at him.

“You really are too damn good to be true do you know that?”

Gu

Just then Jefferson pulled up in Gu

Gu

“You ready to go and start our honeymoon Mrs. Mathews?” Gu

I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks just at the thought of what it was going to be like tonight. The thought of making love to Gu

“I’ll take that as I yes.”

Je

“Welcome my sweet darling Ellie to our family. I loved you the moment you jumped out of Drew’s truck and smiled at me. I absolutely ca

I was at a loss for words……again……I hugged her back as tightly as I could and whispered in her ear how much I loved her and what a wonderful job she did helping to raise such an amazing man.

She pulled back and smiled. “He is, isn’t he?”

I nodded my head yes. I looked over at Gu

“A happy tear I hope.”

“Yes baby, happier than you can ever imagine.”

Garrett cleared his throat and moved over to us. He looked like he was about to cry which made me start to cry.

“Drew, you continue to make us so damn proud. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am for you son. You did well, especially with this fine young lady here.”

Gu

“I know you had your whole honeymoon pla

Emma was standing there ringing her hands like she was nervous as hell.

Gu

I looked at the check and almost fell over. Was I reading that right? $550,000…..

“Gramps what are you doing? You can’t afford to give us this kind of money. I won’t take this.”

I looked up at Emma and Garrett and they both looked pissed. I took a step back.

“Drew, don’t you ever again tell me what I can and ca

Oh.MY.GOD…I had to sit down before I passed out. I looked up at Gu

“Gramps, Grams I don’t even know what to say? Are you sure you’re ready to turn it over to me to run? What if I fuck it all up?”

Garrett laughed. “Drew, I will be here every step of the way to help you.”

Gu

As we pulled away I started to get excited. Gu

“You ready sweetheart?”

I smiled at him and felt so nervous. I felt like it was my first time all over again!

“I’m so ready you have no idea! Can you possibly speed just a little? I’m not sure I can wait another three hours to be with you!”
