Mr and Mrs Rhodes
Grayson’s P.O.V
I was pacing up and down the room, muttering to myself and freaking out…badly. I was a nervous wreck, my palms were sweating and my heart was pounding hard in my chest, I am sure everyone waiting downstairs could hear it.
“You wanna breathe mate before you pass out?” Samuel laughed trying to get me to calm down
“I can’t. I am getting married Samuel…MARRIED! To Alexa, how do you expect me to calm down? I never thought I would get married, never mind to someone as amazing and beautiful as Alexa. What if I mess up? What if I go back to old ways? God why would she even wanna marry me?” I said, talking fast he probably cannot understand a word I was saying
It had been a year since I proposed to Alexa and now it was our wedding day. I couldn’t wait to make her Mrs Alexa Rhodes but that never stopped me from freaking out. We were getting married at a beautiful Country mansion we had hired out for the weekend. It was perfect, the place we both wanted. We were getting married in the backyard next to the large lake…the reception getting held in the ball room.
“Grayson Alexa loves you…you love her. You are not gonna mess this up OK? Stop thinking that way. You two were made for each other. Now relax before I slap some sense into you OK?” He said
I nodded, taking a view deep breathe. Samuel was my best man, only person that knows how to keep me sane…Addie Alexa’s bridesmaid, we decided we would only have one each. We never wanted anything too big and out there…we had 150 guests…close family, friends. We were gonna run away and get married cause the planning was stressing her out, we decided against that though in the end, wanting to share the day with our loved ones.
“Time to go buddy, you gonna make it without passing out?” Samuel laughed
“I am sure I will manage.” I laughed
I was getting married in less than twenty minutes, guests would already be here so decided we should head down. Samuel made sure my tie and tux was sitting right, handing me a Scotch to drink, hoping it will calm me down. I took it, downing the lot in seconds and was ready to go. Samuel and I headed down to the garden and I said hello to all our guests. When I arrived at my mother she was in tears
“I cannot believe you are getting married Grayson. I never thought I would see the day, I am so proud of you.” She sobbed out, pulling me into her and hugging me tightly
“Thank You. I love you.” I said kissing her cheek as we pulled apart
“How you doing son?” my dad asked
“I am a nervous wreck. My palms are sweating and my heart is pounding in my chest.” I chuckled
“That is just signs son you are marrying the right one. Now go, your beautiful bride will be on her way.” He said hugging me
I made my way to the front, shaking the hand of the vow master who was marrying us, we never wanted a church wedding, neither of is really religious. I stood my place, keeping my eye on the aisle that Alexa will be walking down soon, well if she hasn’t changed her mind anyway. Soon enough the music started, everyone standing up and turning around to watch the bride-to-be when she approached. And soon enough she appeared, her arm linked in her fathers. She has never looked as beautiful to me as she did right now in her beautiful dress and her hair in lose waves…whoa! What did I do to deserve her? I smiled as I watched her getting closer to me, feelings the tears filling the corner of my eyes…my heart going at double speed and my pulse racing. I can’t believe she is gonna be my wife.
Alexa flashed a smile at me as she got only inches away from me…a smile that even after two years still drives me crazy and makes me fall even more in love with her. Her smile was soon followed by a wink and a giggle, making me chuckle and wink back at her. What can I say even after two years we still have fun teasing and flirting with one and other.
“Look after her Grayson.” Her father said, letting go of her arm
“I will…I promise.” I said shaking his hand
Alexa kissed her dad’s cheeks, telling him she loved him before he took his seat at the front. I reached for her hip, pulling her in closer to me
“You look beautiful baby, I can’t wait to make you my wife.” I whispered, stroking her cheek
“I can’t wait either my love.” She replied, her eyes meeting mine
*************
“I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Grayson’s Rhode.” The vow Master said “You may kiss your bride.” He added
Oh yes please. I pulled her into me, pressing my lips against hers…kissing her with everything I had in me as the place erupted into cheers and a few whistle’s, making the two of laugh into the kiss. I wrapped my arms tightly around her, deepening the kiss cause her to whimper into my lips, making me smirk. I love how I can still have this effect on her after two years…and she still has the same effect on me…the woman still knows how to make me crazy and want in her ways I have never wanted anyone else. We finally pulled away but I kept her close, resting my forehead against hers
“You are stuck with me now Mrs Rhodes.” I smirked
“I know, wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you.” She whispered, the look in her eyes still making me feel like the luckiest man in the world
“I love you too.” I replied stealing another kiss before taking her hand, heading back down the aisle
I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her, she really had become my whole world.
“You are all mine tonight…got a surprise for you.” She purred in my ear
I felt every part of my body shudder when she said that. We both made a promise that even after we get married we would make sure to find ways to keep the passion burn between us, not wanting to lose like many couples can. Only now, that passion…that want…that lust? It was coming from love and not from only s****l desire.
“Mmm baby I can’t wait. I love you so much Mrs Alexa Rhode, don’t ever leave me.” I said
“I love you too. Don’t worry baby, I aint going anywhere, that I promise you.” She said
And I believed every word. I was excited for what was in store for us.
