Crazy In Love

Chapter 19 |Mrs. Anoa'i|

May 4, 2010 - Wedding Day

Today is the big day. The day I leave as Mrs. Anoa'i and I am extremely nervous. I got up and it was 7:30. JoJo was sleeping right beside me so peacefully and I didn't want to wake her up but we have to catch our flight. The ladies and I stayed at a hotel last night because we were celebrating the fact that I was getting married. So we had some drinks and had dinner and called it a night.

"JoBug?," I said, softly. She didn't budge. She just continued to sleep.

"Wake up, baby." I shook her softly and she began to stir a little. I knew I wasn't gonna get this child up. She's a hard sleeper just like her father. I got dressed and put on one of Joe's shirts and a pair of jeans. I put my blonde and brown hair in a high bun and got JoJo ready as well. My phone vibrated indicating that I had a text message. I looked at my phone and saw that it was Summer. The text message said:
Rise and shine beautiful bride. Meet us at the lobby.

I texted her back and told her ok. I grabbed JoJo and my stuff and walked out the door. My mother came out of her hotel room and began walking with me down the hall and towards the elevator. The elevator opened and we walked inside.

"She's still sleeping?," my mother asked.

"Yeah, she's a hard sleeper," I told her.

"I love how you treat her as if she's your own daughter."

"Ever since I moved in with Joe, we built this strong bond that's unexplainable. I really love her, mom."

"I know and you wanna know what's crazy?"

"What?," I asked.

"How you're doing a great job with JoJo and you still wanna wait until you're 30 to have a baby."

"Mom, not now," I whined.

"Oh we're gonna talk about this right now," she said. Then the elevator doors opened. Yes! Thank God!

"Can we just focus on the wedding?" My mother gave me a look of defeat.

"For now. But when the wedding is over, we're gonna continue this conversation," she told me. Damn it! I really don't wanna have this conversation later.

We walked out of the elevator and saw Trinity, Summer,
Vanessa, Myritza, Patricia, and my sister Solange.

"You guys ready?," I asked.

"Yeah, Jey texted me and told me they're about to get on the plane," Trinity told me.

"Ok, let's go." We walked out of the hotel and there were three cars to fit everyone. There were paparazzi and a lot of fans outside to the point where you think people are waiting to get into a concert. We hurried in the cars and drove off.

We arrived at the airport and got out of the vehicles. We got on the jet and once everyone got situated, the jet began to move and lift up into the air. I had JoJo laying on my lap with her head on my chest and I heard her light snores. I can't believe this girl was still sleep! Sheesh! I grabbed my phone and texted Joe saying that we were on the plane. Five seconds later, he texted back and said:
Ok good because I can't wait to see my beautiful bride today. I love you!

I smiled and texted him back and said:
I love you, too!

Then I put my phone in my pocket. I was still a little tired so I figured during the plane ride I just go back to sleep until we get to Florence. I wrapped my arms around JoJo, gently laid my head on hers, and closed my eyes.

"Mommy, wake up," I heard. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that JoJo was awake.

"What is it, JoBug?," I asked.
