“I just saw it hanging in the closet.” Ty paused in spreading kisses all over her stomach long enough to mutter. Then he went right back to it.
“Stop it, Ty.” Tanesha giggled as her hands shot down to Ty’s head. “That tickles.” He’d gotten to the sides of the stomach, which was very ticklish.
“Do you think it’s possible for me to see them before we leave for our honeymoon tomorrow?” He asked softly, looking up at her with such tender eyes.
“Where are we going?” Tanesha asked.
“Answer my question first.” Ty gave a mock scowl which made Tanesha laugh.
“It can be arranged.” She said, gently stroking Ty on the cheek. “I’ll tell mum to arrange with Dr. Brooks so that we can go see her tomorrow morning. They’re friends so she can get her to work on a Sunday. Say around ten?”
“Perfect. I hear you don’t have appetite these…” He tailed off when his phone began to ring. Michael’s face flashed across the screen. “She’s up.” Ty knew why he was calling. Michael fooled around a lot but when it came to human health, he didn’t usually joke no matter how calm he pretended to be.
“Open the door, Ty,” Michael demanded quietly.
“You must be kidding me,” Ty muttered as he drew Tanesha’s gown down to cover her tummy. “Coming.” He sighed as he pulled Tanesha to her feet and turned her around to fix the lacy cords on her corset. “Go freshen up.” He placed the make-up bag in her hand and gave her a gentle push in the direction of the bathroom. Then he went to open the door for Michael.
“Where’s she?” Michael had a small bag in his hand.
“You mean you actually went to bring your kit?” Ty asked with a look of incredulity.
“I called Danny to bring it.” Michael chuckled. He always had his kit inside his car. But since they’d all driven to the hotel in the limo, he didn’t have his car. He’d therefore had to call his driver to bring it. “How’s she?”
“She says she’s fine,” Ty said. “Hey, you did say she was okay.”
“I knew it was nothing serious but because of her condition, I wanted to check her out…make sure everything is okay. Besides, I had to say she was okay. You were beginning to panic. I didn’t want you having a heart attack and dying on your wedding day…in a hotel room…butt naked…fucking your w…”
“Will you shut up.” Ty growled and then burst into laughter. The image Michael painted was somehow funny. “Thanks, bro.” He said quietly and then entered the bedroom to fetch his wife.
Sometimes the love and care shown to him by his guys overwhelmed him. It reminded him of something Chris had told him Shane had said to him once. He said family didn’t end in blood and didn’t start there either. Family cared and was always there for the good and bad. Those guys were more than his friends. They were family. And he loved them to bits.
After Michael had done a quick check and pronounced Tanesha fit, the three of them went down to the reception in the beautiful garden. The guests were having the time of their lives. Immediately the MC spotted Ty and Tanesha, he announced that it was time for the AGADZI moment. The confused look on the faces of the guests morphed into smiles and grins when the talented Ed Sheeran stepped onto the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the couple of the moment to show us their dance steps.” Ed said in his soft voice, just as the band began to play ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
The guests actually oohed and aahed as the strikingly captivating couple walked to the dancing area and melted against each other. Then with their gazes locked together, they swayed beautifully to Ed Sheeran’s captivating voice. It was totally enthrallingly.
‘When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me – I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are’
Tanesha cupped Ty’s cheek with a hand as they swayed to that beautiful song. “I never believed in fate until you came into my life.” She said softly. “Nothing has been the same since…or felt so right.”
“Oh, baby.” Ty breathed. Her words caused his breath to hitch in his throat. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against her smiling lips. “You leave me breathless, Mrs. Wesley.” He muttered against her lips. “You’re the air that I breathe. But then you already know that.”
“Damn right I do.” Tanesha laughed softly. “I love you, husband mine.” She whispered.
“And I love you to death, wife mine,” Ty whispered right back, and then dipped his head to take that lush kiss-swollen mouth in a kiss so sweet it rocked Tanesha to her very soul.
There were cheers and whistles from the excited friends, family, and guests but the two newlyweds looked like they were alone on another planet and couldn’t hear a thing. They tuned out everyone and totally got lost in each other.
According to the great Einstein, when you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again. Well, Ty and Tanesha would never be able to ‘stand’ again. Theirs was indeed two hearts, absolutely and unequivocally entwined as one.
THE END
‘WHEN TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE, THERE ARE ALWAYS SOUNDS OF BLISS.’
