Cameron shakes his head as he starts to re-climb the tree. “If I ever get married, Stan, you are going to pay, and I’m going to the beach while you do all this shit.”
I smile and turn my attention to Brock. “Don’t let her out of your sight.”
“I won’t.”
“Not for even a second,” I warn.
“I know, I know. Relax.”
Brock and I have somehow turned a corner, It turns out Tash was right and perhaps we do have a lot in common after all. He was there for me in my darkest of days, even visiting me in prison. His support means a lot to Tash, therefore it means a lot to me, too. I turn my attention to Max.
“Max?”
His eyes meet mine. “Yes.”
“You won’t be working tonight.”
His face falls. “Oh,” he mutters, sounding dejected.
“I want you at the wedding as a guest, a friend of ours.”
He drops his head and smiles at the ground.
“And I also want to thank you.”
He looks up and frowns. “For what?”
“For staying by Natasha’s side when she needed you the most.”
He smiles a relieved smile and Ben slaps him on the back.
“Getting pathetic now, Stanton?” Brock questions, as he raises a brow.
I look at him straight faced “Don’t make me hurt you, Marx.”
“As if.” He shakes his head as he and Max start to walk up the stone stairs that hug the cliff.
“Three hours!” I call after them.
“Yes,” They both reply in a bored voice.
“And don’t let her out of your sight,” I repeat.
They ignore me and keep walking.
My attention turns to Cameron who is now up the ladder, he looks down at me and shakes his head. “There is no way in Hell they will be back in three hours.”
I shake my head in defeat. “Tell me something I don’t already know.”
I slowly button up my white, crisp shirt as I look in the mirror.
Its my wedding day.
A day I thought had been stolen forever.
She’s back.
I drop my head and smile.
My girl is back, along with my appetite, my sex drive and my freedom.
“Stop fucking smiling. You’re getting all creepy?” Cameron tuts from his place next to me as he pulls up his pants.
I throw him a wink and smile broadly again.
“Photo time,” Murph states as he starts to snap photos with his camera. Cameron grabs his crotch and sticks out his tongue while Ben smirks from his place at the end of the bed.
