our perfect paradise*
chapter nine
The next day Danielle and Kimberly didn't wake up till about 2 in the afternoon.
JC came in waking up Danielle. He got on the bed lying next to her as she slept underneath the blankets. He wrapped his arms around her, lightly kissing her neck.
"Baby, wake up." He whispered.
She twitched. Then moving to face him.
"What time is it?" She mumbled.
"2 in the afternoon." He said
"Oh." She rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"You sleep good?" He asked
"I'd be better if you were by my side, but good enough."
He smiled, kissing her lips lightly. "I love you."
"Love you too."
"What are you doing today?" He asked
"Probably nothing, since the whole day a basically passed, just counting down the seconds till we get married." She said excited.
He laughed, "Me too baby."
"What are you doing today?" She asked
"Me and the guys all have to be at the studio at 2:30. I just came to wake you up and see your beautiful face."
"Aw, I love you so much." She kissed him.
There was a knock on the door and Chris came walking in.
"Hey JC, let's go." He said
"Ok, see you later baby." He gave her one last kiss and got up from the bed, leaving with Chris.
"You have fun last night?" Chris asked Danielle
"Oh yeah!"
"Hey Chris! What's that in your hand?" Kimberly asked walking past him in the hallway.
"A viedo."
"Of what?"
"The bachelor party last night."
"Let me see it." Danielle said sitting up.
"I can't."
"I won't marry JC if you don't give it to me." Danielle said
"You liar!"
"I'm serious." She said
"Here you go." He handed her the tape.
"I was just joking but thank you!" She smiled
"Damn you, got to go...bye." Chris said leaving.
"Let's watch it." Kimberly said
Kimberly put in the tape, seeing tons of guys cheering. Danielle saw JC still on a chair by a table with a topless woman giving him a lap dance. All the guys cheered him on.
"Oh my gosh!" Danielle said
"Maybe we should turn this off." Kimberly turned off the tape, shutting the tv off.
"You mad?" She asked
"No...it's just a bachelor part. He would never cheat on me and I had a stripper too, so it's only fair." She said
"Danielle..."
"What? I'm serious...let's just go to lunch."
The 2 of them got ready and went to lunch at Denny's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 days later.The wedding day!
"IT'S MY WEDDING DAY! YEAH!" She shouted jumping on the couch in the living room.
"Danielle...what the hell are you doing up so early?" Kimberly mumbled still half asleep.
"Didn't you hear me? It's my wedding day!"
Kimberly said, "Woo Hoo!" She said weakly.
"You're no fun!" Danielle walked back into her room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
JC stood in front of the mirror fixing his bow tie. He was already at the church, the guys were in the dressing room trying to calm his nerves.
"Guys, I don't think I've ever been this nervous in my life." JC told the guys.
"You'll do fine JC." Lance said.
"Just think of the honeymoon." Chris said laughing. The rest of the guys laughed at his comment.
"I just hope I don't freak out and mess up." JC said
"I got an idea for your nerves..." Chris said walking up to JC and putting an arm around his shoulder.
"What Chris?"
"...Just imagine everyone in their underpants."
JC laughed. "Thanks, but no."
Just then Luke walked into the room. "Hey what's up guys?"
"Nothin much, just chillin." Justin said. "What's on your arm?"
"Danielle's garder."
"Why do you have that?" JC asked
"In high school, I was in the advanced choir Madrigal's and as a trademark I would wear a garder around my bicep. And now I have Danielle's." Luke said
"Ok." JC simply said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Danielle smoothed out her dress one more time before they opened the doors to walk down the aisle to see her husband-to-be. She took a deep breath just before they opened the doors.
"Ok, I'm ready." She said exhaling.
The doors swung open, Danielle saw everyone looking at her, most importantly JC. She smiled. She began to walk down the aisle. She stared at JC the whole time. He couldn't take his eyes off her. As soon as he saw her all the butterflies in his stomach went away. He knew this was the right thing, the right one. She looked so beautiful. In the white lacy wedding dress that poofed out just a little, but it still hugged her figure loosly. All those butterflies became excited, happy emotions. He began to cry because he was so happy.
Danielle finally reached JC, it seemed like an eternity. She smiled at him. She reached up and wiped his tears away.
"Don't cry baby, you'll make me cry and I'll mess up my make up." She said, a few tears ran down her cheek.
"Too late." He wiped them away. "You look beautiful sweetheart." He said
The priest began to talk. Danielle and JC held hands as they both patiently waited to be offically married.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The priest said
JC looked down at Danielle, he placed his hands on her neck, bringing her closer for the kiss. His lips captured her in the most passionate kiss they've ever shared. The kiss ended and JC placed his forehead on Danielle's.
"Finally...we did it." He smiled kissing her lips softly.
She smiled back at him, she had her arms around his neck. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." They shared another intense kiss, then began to walk down the aisle together hand in hand. Greeting family and friends as they walked by.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"And now it's time for the first dance as husband and wife...JC, Danielle let's go." one of Danielle's aunts said.
JC and Danielle walked out onto the dance floor. JC wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to his body. They danced to 98 Degrees 'The Way You Do' Danielle rested her head on JC's shoulder, as he silently sang to her where no one else could hear. She couldn't take the smile off her face. She was so happy.
"JC..." She lifted her head from his shoulder, looking at him.
"Yeah?" He said
"Did you have a stripper at your bachelor party?" She asked randomly.
"Uh...um..."
She lifted an eyebrow, not breaking eye contact.
"Yes."
She smiled, laughing lightly. "You looked like you were ready to pass out...Don't sweat it, just as long as you didn't have like a topless stripper give you a lap dance or something like that." She was messing with his head. His eyes about popped out of his head. She laughed resting her head on his shoulder for a second.
"I saw the tape." She laughed.
"You did?"
"Don't worry, I had a stripper too."
"You did?...Did Kimberly get him?"
"With a little help from Chris..."
"What?"
"Yeah he got Ben Affleck to come strip for me. It was great."
"Are you serious? Ben Affleck...I'm never letting you go to a party without me again." He hugged her, holding her tightly. She wrapped her arms around him. The song soon ended.
When it was time to throw the bouquet Danielle stood in front of the crowd of bachelorette's. She saw Kimberly.
"Are you single for this or what Kimberly?" Danielle laughed
"Yes...shhh." Kimberly said
"Ok then." Danielle turned around and threw the bouquet in the air. The crowd of girls stummbled to the floor fighting for it. Kimberly got it.
"YEAH!" She said excited.
"And what about me? Am I a bachelor now?" Justin asked
"Yes, now go catch the garder." She told Justin.
Danielle sat down in a chair in the middle of the floor as JC took off the garder from her leg with his teeth. Danielle was blushing the whole time as JC stared evily back up at her. He kissed her lips real quick before he pulled back the garder and it flew across the room. Luke came walking out of the crowd.
"I got it." He put the garder on his left bicep, like before the wedding. "Hey Kimberly I guess we are getting married after all." Luke said
"In your dreams Luke!" Kimberly said
"Yeah, don't even try buddy." Justin added in.
It was getting close to midnight. JC and Danielle changed thier clothes and began to say goodbye to everyone before they left for their honeymoon in Hawaii.
Danielle woke up at 6 A.M. just to begin gettin ready, when the ceremony didn't start till 2 P.M.
