Leaving the cave, going into the unknown

Work this week seemed to fly by; there wasn’t really that much that needed to be done design wise because I had finished all my projects the week before. It was now Friday and I had taken the day off for the wedding, Tom was more than willing to give me time off. If Kate was my mother figure than Tom would be my father, he was just as happy as Kate that I had found myself a boyfriend and was doing everything possible to make sure I could spend time with him.

I had a shower and shaved while I listened to some CD’s that Alan had given me of bands that he had toured with or that he thought I would like. I was currently listening to Common Courtesy by A Day to Remember and they were really good. I hopped out of the shower and started to put makeup on, Alan had requested that I barley put any on because he said I didn’t need it and that he preferred me without it. I know that I shouldn’t let a guy control how I looked but I really like that he preferred me without makeup. I finished and just looked at myself, my face looked happier even though I wasn’t smiling. For the past couple of weeks I could tell that my face was starting to look brighter and more inviting. I put on my rings, a bracelet and a simple necklace along with the dress and underwear set that Alan had picked out. I stood in front of my floor length mirror and spun around before falling onto the bed laughing at my silliness.

“You look beautiful Alex.” I looked up at the voice to see Kate leaning on the doorframe of my bedroom.

“Thanks Kate. What are you up too tonight?” I got up and straightened out the dress and went to grab a small purse to put my things in.

“I’m going to Tom’s so the house will be all for you tonight.” She said as she smirked, she looked so sassy with her arms crossed.

“Shush. Ok well have fun with Tom and I guess I’ll see you tomorrow than?” I smacked her arm as I walked by.

“Ya you will. Alex just remember if you need me just call me ok? Anything at all.” She said as she pulled me into a hug.

“Thanks Kate I will.” I said back. She pulled me back and looked at me at arms length.

“My little girl is growing up so fast. Next thing you know you’ll be moving out of the house.” She whipped away a fake tear and then we just broke out in laughter.

“Go get em sport.” She said as I walked away I just shook my head and closed the door.

I decided that I wanted to walk to Alan’s house; I told him Kate was going to drop me off but I really just wanted to go for a long walk while I listened to some music. I had my vans on while holding on to heals I had borrowed from Kate. I felt like I had to wear them, that it was only appropriate. I reached the street to see Alan coming out the door to great me; I’m guessing he saw me coming from the big window on the front of the house.

“Alex did you walk here? I thought Kate was driving you? I could have picked you up!” He pulled me into a kiss while giving me a scolding look.

“I wanted to walk. You look very handsome by the way.” He was wearing a tux because he was a groomsman. I thought he couldn’t get any hotter but it seemed I was wrong, his tattoos were peaking out of the suit and I just wanted to kiss him all over.

“Fine fine. You look beautiful by the way. You always look beautiful but today your glowing.” I blushed and looked down; I saw my shoes and went to sit on his front steps. I started to remove my shoes but Alan gave me a strange look as to say why are you doing that?

“I brought heals, I can’t imagine wearing vans would be appropriate for a wedding.”

“No wear the vans, it’s fine Aaron isn’t really traditional anyway. Hell I’m wearing skinny jeans you’ll be fine.” I tried to defend myself but Alan just took the heals from me, put them in his house and locked the door. I just gave him a glare and headed to his car so we could drive to the venue.

We arrived at a cute little church and headed inside, he sat me down in my seat kissed me and told me that he had to go and get ready to be with the other groomsmen. I watched as he walked away before turning around and looking around the cute little church. Soon enough the ceremony had started.

The wedding was beautiful; throughout the ceremony Alan would throw me cute winks and smiles. We headed to the reception and found our table; we were sitting with the other band mates and their dates. I saw Val and I sat down next to her, it was like we were old friends we just started talking.

“So I heard that you and Alan are a couple now! Way to go girl!” She said while lightly tapping me on the arm in a congratulatory manor.

“Thanks Val. It’s crazy to think of weddings isn’t it? I feel like high school just ended now all the people I know are getting married and having babies.”

“Ya I know my sister just had a kid and I’m just sitting here like nope not for me yet. I’m only 25 and I feel like people are pressuring me to settle down right away.” She said as she leaned back.

“I feel that, I’m only 21 and my mom is always bugging me about getting married. In the future ya but right now I’m just happy. Why are people always trying to push things?” We just laughed and talked all night. Austin asked Val to dance so I looked over at Alan to see him smiling at me.

“Sorry I haven’t talked to you that much tonight. I know I’m supposed to be your date and all.” I apologized, I wasn’t trying to ignore Alan I was just really enjoying talking to Val.

“No problem. In fact I like seeing you being social and I love that you’re becoming friends with Austin’s girlfriend.” He kissed me and put his hand on my leg.

“Come on let’s dance.” Before I could protest he grabbed my hand and pulled me up. A slow song started and his hands found my waste as my arms found his neck and we started to sway back and forth. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, as it seemed to keep time to the music. I closed my eyes and it felt like it was just him and I, no one else was in that moment. He rubbed my back and gently and whispered in my ear.

“You look so beautiful Alex I’m so glad you’re mine.” I just smiled and ran my figures though his hair, looked up and kissed him.

We continued to slow dance, even though fast songs. I never wanted this night to end.
