| �We�re not even engaged.� �Very true. But I want to go to Vegas, get married real quick.� �Where is this coming from?� �Just don�t want to lose you baby.� I gazed in his eyes, a smile creeping up on my face. �Just say when baby.� He leaned over and kissed me. We pulled back as the lights dimmed and the movie started. �Fuck New York,� I went to Vegas. I told Meshelle to cover for me, something came up back home. She bought it and I was watching MTV on the TV set. Odd, to know I was Mrs. Dorough. Howie was in the bathroom and I was there on the huge bed. Just less than 24 hours ago, we tied the knot. Now, there was no looking back. We couldn�t just break up for no reason. I watched him and smiled to myself. If the fans only knew! If our friends only knew! I had to laugh at the thought. The girls would know something was up. They knew me to well, they knew D to well. This was just something we would do. He walked back to the bed and laid down. �What are you thinking about?� �You, D.� �Why me?� �You know we�re just as good as dead when we go back home.� �I figured as much. But you�re mine, and they can�t take that away.� �Are we gonna have the big wedding?� �When we have time to settle down more.� �I want it huge. All fans, all family, all press. I want this white lace dress with purple in it. And you dressed up in zoot suits.� �Damn, we got the money for all that?� I smiled at him and nodded my head. �After all, aren�t we on top of the world?� He leaned over and pressed his lips against mine. �I love you so damn much Theresa.� �And I love you just the same.� Somehow, I found myself underneath him, his hands stroking my night gown over my body. Our third time tonight and our love would be expressed no different. His lips connected with mine and all at once, I fell in love again. A love with no end. If anything was right in this world, it was me and him. Our love for each other. I sighed as his lips left mine and traveled down my neck, nibbing at my tender skin, driving me insane. I awoke the next morning to the phone ringing off the hook. I checked the time, reading it to be 10 am. I glanced at D�s sleeping form and smirked. Oh, yeah, the night�s effects were on his body. Six times alone can tend to do that. I grabbed the phone and mumbled a hello. �What the fuck are you doing in Vegas?� �Oh, hello mom.� �Hi.� �I�m sleeping in Vegas.� �No, you got married in Vegas. I was walking down the strip and saw you and Howie. Does your brother know?� �Not in the least. No one knows, and mom, please, let�s keep it like that. We just got married!� �Fine, I can take a hint. Bye sweetie.� �Bye mom.� I hung up the phone and curled up next to Howie. �Who was that?� �My mom,� I mumbled. �What did she want?� �Wanting to know if I told my brother I was married.� My eyes closed and I heard him snoring. And all at once, I shot up out of bed and stared at D. He felt the sudden movement and looked at me. �What?� �Did you hear what I said?� �About what?� �You asked who was on the phone and what she wanted.� �Oh, what did she want? I fell back asleep.� �Just wanted to make sure I was happy.� �Good, now back to sleep please?� I took a deep breath and nodded my head. �Woah, close call.� We walked up out of the airport, hand in hand, and happy in love. �Now, this is truly a nice site.� I froze and quickly turned around. �Terri, Nick, what are you doing here?� �You weren�t home,� Nick said. �I meant home in Vegas. A family problem.� �Your mom called Resa, making sure everything was okay,� Terri asked. I smiled and laughed. �Well, it�s funny. And you�re gonna laugh when we tell you the story.� I shrugged my shoulders and laughed a little. But neither Nick nor Terri were happy. �Can we go though?� �To the dance studio, we�re having a big talk!� Nick said. I fell in step behind them, but nothing could bring me down, nothing at all. We took the two seats and all eight persons were looking at us. He grabbed my hand and I smiled. �Well, did you guys have fun?� I asked. �What the fuck is going on Resa?� Megan asked. I winced at the tone and took a deep breath. �We went on a trip. Made a stop in Vegas,� Howie said. I just nodded my head. All 16 eyes were glaring at us. And we shrunk down in our seats. �For what?� AJ asked. I smiled and held up my left hand, but still no one saw it. Of course, for now, it was nothing more than a little diamond and a small gold band, but I loved it and that was enough for me. �Don�t be a smart ass Theresa. Why the fuck were you there?� Shannon asked. This time, Howie raised his left hand and they still didn�t catch it. �Oh my God,� Jennifer mumbled. We both beamed at her and her eyes opened wide. �What?� Brian asked. �Are we missing something?� Kevin questioned. �Look at them. They�re face alone can tell you. Oh my God.� Brian gazed at us and he had the same reaction as Jennifer. �Good Lord! Please tell me you didn�t?� We shrugged and he just shook his head. �But, but, why?� �Love has no bounds. Sides, we wanted to,� I said. �Wanted to what, for the love of God?� Nick asked. |
