“So I’m not the only one who came home drunk at one point. How many parties did you went to.”
“Enough.”He said.”I hope they had a good flight.”
“They did. Are you coming home.”
“No. I’ll see you tomorrow at the altar.”
“How sure are you that I’m gonna come.”She teased.
“I don’t know that I’ll have to wait and see tomorrow.”
“I’m gonna miss you.”She said honestly.
“Same here beautiful. Spend time with your family because after tomorrow I’m not letting you out of my sight.”
“I’ll hold you to it handsome.”He chuckled at her words.”What? You are handsome.”
“We’ll talk soon, I have a few things I need to take care of before we gonna go on our honeymoon.”
“Okay. Let me not keep you.”
“Ready for tomorrow.”She heard Gina asked from behind her after the call.
“I’m a little jittery and nervous. I wonder if I’m doing the right thing.”
“Your heart brought you here Sage there’s no room for error or doubts if you love him and you feel he’s the man for you then it’s right. I’m happy for you so is Sean always be happy and love with everything you’ve got.”
“Thank you Gina for being a good friend, you and Kim have been so supportive and loving I don’t know what I would do without you guys.”
“That’s what friends are for and I know you would do the same for us.”
“Let’s go back inside.”Sage said.
“Have you and Bruno decided on having more kids.”Her brother asked her. “When Liam and Logan will be older.”
“We haven’t discussed it yet.”She lied.”But we’ll see. Maybe in the long run I don’t think I’ll be able to handle another set of twins at this moment. The boys are at that age when one needs to watch them extra carefully and I won’t be able to do that with a big belly, just picture me running after them with a belly bigger than a soccer ball.”
Gina laughed.”I can imagine.”
“Besides I don’t think I’ll survive another set of twins. What if it’s more boys.”
“You did great with Liam and Logan.”Sean said.”I’m proud of how you handled everything throughout your whole pregnancy, till the birth and up until now.”
“I had and still have a good support system. You and Gina have helped alot I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay the both of you.”
“You don’t have to sis. That’s what family do help each other.”
“And we’ll always help you.”Gina added.”Same way you and Bruno will help the day we have our little one. Do you mind if I use the restroom.”Sage told Gina where it is.
“I wanted to ask what you and Bruno discussed the day he invited you out for a drink when you first arrived here.”
“Why don’t you ask him.”
“He won’t tell even if I can ask?”
“What makes you think I’m gonna tell you.”He said.
“Sean please. You’re my brother and I know you won’t keep it from me.”
He smiled.”You taking advantage of my kindness and the love I have for you.”
“Sean please.”She begged.
“We talked about you and the boys. He wanted to know everything about your pregnancy if you had any difficulties if it was a hard pregnancy and if there had been any complications if you had alot of pain during delivery.”
“He could’ve just asked me.”She said.”Why ask you.”
“Probably because he knew you wouldn’t have told him everything.”
“Like what?”She asked.
“Like your pregnancy was high risk in your last stage and that the umbilical cord got stuck around Liam’s neck and you almost had to get a c-section.”
“You told him that.”She asked in disbelief.”Why did you do that.”
“He asked, he cares about you Sage he wants to know what happened in your lives when he hadn’t been there. Anyway he’s their father, your soon to be husband in a few hours he has a right to know.”
“What else did you tell him?”
“Everything. He said if there’s anything I need I shouldn’t hesitate to ask him. I refused but he said I should think of it as a thank you gift, for taking care of you and the boys when he hadn’t been there to do it. I think he paid off the whole mortgage I got a call from the bank a few weeks back when I made a deposit they told me everything’s been paid off and I didn’t even pay it.”
“But how does he know and how sure are you it’s Bruno.”
“Come on Sage. We don’t have that kind of money to begin with and we don’t know anyone that’s wealthy I asked him but he denied it as I thought he would.”
“But why would he do it?”
“He did it for you.”Sean said. Sage excused herself after Gina came back, she wanted to be alone, to process what Sean has just told her. Why would Bruno go to this extend if he only cared for her, his actions makes her wonder why he’s doing what he is to such a point that she has no idea what to think or say…
It’s the morning of her wedding and Sage is nervous as hell, she hardly closed a wink all night and she hasn’t spoken to Bruno since their conversation yesterday morning. She so badly wants to call him, to hear his deep sexy voice to assure her it’s gonna be okay and that he too was feeling the way she is. Early this morning she’d gotten ready, make-up artist and hair stylists had come to do her hair and everything else, she had decided to fasten her hair the seamstress who’d design her dress was also here waiting for her to give her the go ahead so she could come and help Sage with the dress. The mermaid trumpet design was beautiful, it had a v-neckline with no straps a back zipper which was covered with tiny buttons, a natural waistline the fabric was silk and appliques lace, the designer of the gown will lay out the sweep train when they get to the church that is if she’ll make it there.
She had decided not to take the veil that comes with the dress she wasn’t a virgin and Bruno hadn’t been her first either although deep down she wish he had been, she wishes she’d wait in giving her body to another man, a man who hadn’t appreciated her innocence that’s why after him she never slept with anyone until she met Bruno and meeting him is the best thing ever. Sean will be walking her down the aisle everyone else has already left for the church where their wedding will be held Bruno has allowed two people from the press to be there to cover everything.”Miss Palmer.”The designer said.”It’s time.”
She nodded.”Give me a few more minutes please.”Even her tone was quivering due to her anxiousness. Can she really go through with this?
“Sage.”Sean said coming in a few minutes later.”We need to go. Have you checked the time we’re already late. Why aren’t you dressed yet and I see you haven’t wore the pearls Bruno send this morning.”
Sage glanced at the Victorian style three multi strands swarovski pearl necklace it’s gorgeous any woman’s dream it’s a complete set with earrings, and a bracelet.”It belonged to his mother.”She muttered softly.”They are so precious. Why did he give it to me.”
“You can ask him that later for now get ready, it’s time to go. We’re ten minutes late everyone must be worried including the groom.”He told the designer to come in and help her get dressed five minutes later she was ready.”You look beautiful sis Bruno won’t know what hit him when he sees you. Ready?”
Even if she wasn’t there’s no turning back, she nodded her head and hooked her arm through his. She was quiet the whole drive over to the church, instead she fiddled with her fingers to hide her nerves.
Bruno was beginning to get worried about Sage not being here, when he’d spoken to Jorge he had said they are on their way, and that had been fifteen minutes ago. Did she decide not to go through with the wedding, for the first time ever he was scared, nervous too Sage won’t leave him like this he shouldn’t think she would stood him up and leave him at the altar.
