Innocent

26

Nia cocked her head to the side, but immediately let out a deep breath when she watched Caine's truck skrt off away from the shop.

A king von song playing loudly, the song being the gun shots she heard.

"Your fiancé something else." The designer said to Nia with a small laugh.

"He sure is." Nia agreed laughing with the woman who handed her over her wedding dress. Her wedding was tomorrow.

The next day. * WEDDING DAY.*

"Bro this shit is not real..." Caine looked at himself in the mirror. He was currently in his suit for the wedding that would be starting any time now.

"It is son.." Josie said, smiling at her son who was about to marry the love of his life.

"I'm so happy right now ma. I think my heart Rey jump out my chest." Caine never told anybody his feelings other than Nia. But she wasn't here right now so his mother was the next best thing.

He knew when Nia came down the aisle he was going to be even more of a mess than he already was for her.

"That's good baby. That means your doing the right thing, it means your happy." His mom placed hwe hand on top of Caine's hearr, smiling up at her son who couldn't stop smiling.

Meanwhile Nia was staring at herself. It was just her here, no father to bring her down the aisle and no mother to console her.

Nia didn't want her mother here with her, she allowed her to wait in her seat at the venue with the rest of the guests. She wanted to do this alone, because after today she wouldn't be alone ever again.

"You're beautiful.." she said to herself, a tear running down her cheek as she stared at her dress. She couldn't wait for her fiancé to see her.

Nia kept her hair natural, her curls down her back and glowing. Maya came over to her and placed the veil into Nia's hair gently. She smiled, dragging her hand back through it and seeing how long it was. Her dress was just as big and long as her veil.

Nia picked her head up when there was a knock at the door. She saw Jay standing there in his tux with a smile on his face. Maybe even a little tear in his eyes before whipping it away.

"I gotta call for you." He said with a small knowing smirk as he made his way forward with the phone. Nia took it and placed it onto her chest, waving her hand so Jay and Maya could wait for her at the door while she talked to her fiancé.

"Hi baby.." Nia said first, a smile on her face as she waited to hear his voice.

"Hi my soon to be wife."

Caine's words immediately made her blush, immediately made her want to let the tears fall for the day they had ahead of them.

"Don't cry okay? You cry imma cry:" he said honestly, biting his bottom lip as he squeezed a stress ball his mother had given him. When really he only wanted to squeeze Nia to his body.

"Are you ready baby?" Nia questioned, she was so ready she couldn't wait anymore.

"I'm ready ma. I see you out there I love you."

"I love you so much more." She says, even blowing a kiss to him in the phone before they hung up. She made her way back out to Jay and handed him his phone.

"You look beautiful." He said honestly, a look of love for his best friend in his eyes making her eyes already start to water again.

"Shhh stop stop you haven't even seen your husband yet." Jay chuckled, bringing Nia into his chest and hugging her as soft as possible. Maya smiled, rubbing Nia's back as she calmed down. The two of them leading her down the hall to the entrance doors of the wedding.
