Chapter 42
(Caspian)
I looked over at the door nervously, my hands lifting up before brushing my hair back as I started to pace yet again..I had never been so nervous in my life..
Not because of what we were about to do..but because Johnnie had been out of my sight for more than five minutes. Robin took her to the bathroom to freshen up and I was here waiting with the rest of the guys as Ben began pacing just like me.
"I can't believe this is really happening.." Ben mumbled yet again as Alder came up to me and squeezed my shoulder. "Hey, just relax, she will be here in a minute okay?" Alder reassured me as I took a deep breath trying to calm down. "Do you think mom is going to be pissed?" I asked, feeling guilty for a moment.
"No, but she will expect you to have another wedding. One she will be heavily involved in." Alder stated, making me crack a smile as I knew it would be true. Mom would definitely expect me to go all out for Johnnie.
"Thanks for coming and being so supportive..it means a lot." I confessed, seeing my brother look at me with such warmth that I began to feel damn emotional..fuck..I can't break down, not yet anyways.
Luckily Alder came with us because as soon as we got to the counter to get our marriage certificate...they told us we had to wait three days to get married..then Alder ended up figuring out a loophole that cost a little extra and we were able to get it all squared away. So here we are now..waiting for the judge.
Suddenly I heard the door open as I turned my head and all the air immediately came rushing out of me..
Johnnie walked in with her the most beautiful f*****g dress I have ever seen. Her golden hair was up in a ponytail, showing off her gorgeous neck as her skin practically glowed..she looked like an angel...my angel.
Like a gift sent from above and made just for me.
I couldn't stop my feet from moving as I rushed over to her, my hands looping around her curvy waist as I buried my face in the crook of her neck.
"You look breathtaking." I breathed, feeling her body tremble beneath me as I pulled back and peered down at her. Had she been crying? "Are..are you okay?"
Oh god..she wasn't having second thoughts, was she?
"Yeah..I just..I love you a lot." She choked out, making me laugh as I felt so many emotions flood through me.
I lifted my hands up and cupped her face.
"I love you too..so f*****g much." I gasped, kissing her deeply before another door suddenly opened.
"Good afternoon, I see the happy couple is ready to go." An older woman in a black robe stated with a bright smile.
Johnnie laughed nervously as the woman motioned for us to come over.
"Well, come on, let's make it official then." She said before introducing herself as Judge Susy and explaining the whole process.
The judge had us stand up in the front before joining our hands together as I stared down at Johnnie with so much f*****g love and adoration. I couldn't believe this was truly happening.
"I love you." I mouthed to Johnnie as she stared up at me with those big gray eyes as she whispered it back.
"We're here today to witness the union of Caspian King and Johnnie Turner in marriage." The judge began as the world around us ceased to exist.
Right at this moment it was just me and her as I gazed down at my future wife..the only woman I had ever dreamed of standing at the altar with..and now my dream is coming true.
"Do you, Johnnie Turner, take Caspian King to be your spouse and to live together as partners, to treat them with love and respect, and to build a marriage that grows stronger and more loving as time passes?" The woman asked Johnnie, pulling me out of this trance as I waited on bated breath for her answer.
"Yes..I do." Johnnie breathed, making me fight the urge to kiss her as I felt like I was about to f*****g explode.
"And do you, Caspian King, take Johnnie Turner to be your spouse and to live together as partners, to treat them with love and respect, and to build a marriage that grows stronger and more loving as time passes?" She asked me as I didn't even let her finish. "I do..more than f*****g anything." I blurted, making Johnnie stifle a laugh as the Judge looked at me with a warming glance.
I smiled at her sheepishly as she continued on with the ceremony.
"By the virtue of the authority vested in me by the State of Florida, I now pronounce you married. You may kiss the bride!" She concluded as I didn't f*****g hesitate a single second to grab my wife and smash my lips to hers. Kissing her so fervently that I couldn't help but whimper as tears filled my eyes.
The room exploded with clapping as everyone cheered for us and I wrapped my arms around Johnnie tight.
"You are finally mine..my wife..my best friend..my everything.." I gasped against her as Johnnie let out a sob, making me hug her even tighter to my chest as I couldn't believe this really happened.
"I love you Caspian, with all my heart. I can't believe you are mine too." She confessed before lifting her hand and placing it on my cheek.
"Nothing will ever keep us apart again..I promise Johnnie..you are all that matters and I will spend every day of my life cherishing you..I swear..I swear on everything." I rushed out as Alder and Ben ran up to us, circling their arms around both Johnnie and I as we all hugged.
"I'm so happy for you little brother.." Alder choked out as I turned my head to smile at him, seeing the tears running down his cheeks as he grabbed Johnnie and kissed her on the head.
"Now you're officially my little sister." He stated making her laugh as I pulled her away from him.
"Okay..that's enough kissing my wife." I grumbled, feeling protective over my wife..yes..my f*****g wife..shit...that feels so good to say. I can't believe we are married..
I pulled Johnnie into another kiss as I suddenly heard muffled screaming and cheering, realizing Milo was holding Johnnie's cell phone up, and on the screen was Anna.
"Oh god, you look so hot J! You are one lucky man Caspian King." She said, making everyone laugh as I couldn't help but agree..
"Yes, I am..I am the luckiest man on earth." I agreed as Johnnie smiled at me brightly before lifting up and kissing me again.
"Okay, let's sign the papers and then go celebrate." Ben stated as I slid my hand down and intertwined my fingers with Johnnie's before lifting it and placing a gentle kiss on her skin, making me see that empty spot on her finger..then I looked at mine. We decided not to get rings for now so our parents didn't see..but you know what..fuck that..and I have a better idea than rings..something more..permanent.
