Don't let this be real...please

chapter 22

it had been a month, a month since they started to plan the wedding, they already had a rough estimate of where they wanted to get married, and who would be invited, roger and marjories mum was not on that list, everyone else on the staff was, they both didn't have many outside friends and they didn't want to invite any of their familys - except from autumn - as they didn't want any drama.

During this month of intense wedding planning, their smiles and laughs had became more frequent, they had felt more happier than ever and it seemed as though things were finally starting to get better for them, that things were starting to go the right way, so they allowed themselves to bask in the happiness that they had started feeling a lot more frequently.

As they went out in town to gather a few bits and pieces, they interwined their hands together and smiled warmly at one another, marjorie had also been wanting to get her favourite ice cream again, so that was also a part of the reason they were going to the shops "what ice cream are you getting this time gorgeous?" reece asked, his thumb stroking over her hand as they walked, hand in hand.

"Do I have to decide?" she asks, looking up at him but continuing to look in front of her so she doesn't walk straight into a lampost, or trip over on the pavement, reece laughed, moving out the way so people could get pass and stopping right on the side of the pavement rather than the middle, he then brought marjorie into his arms, wrapping his arms around her waist as she wrapped her around his neck, loosely.

"Its not that hard to choose" he laughs, rocking them side to side, she looks up at him "it is hard, you're just plain and boring." she replies, they start walking again, hand in hand making their way to the icecream shop "plain and boring? wow, how rude." he jokes, she laughs leaning onto his arm as they walk into the ice cream parlour.

"okay I'll make you a deal, you can get three flavours." he says and she smiles widely, going up to t6he counter and looking at all the ice cream flavours, she hums, thinking before turning to reece and saying "Mint chococlate chip, and hmmm rocky road and then strawberry." she says grinning widely at him, he nods.

He then tells the cashier, him choosing a vanilla and banana cone, he grabs the ice creams, giving marjorie hers, laughing at the way her eyes light up and then paying the cashier, they walk out of the ice cream parlour and go to sit on a nearby bench, she leans on his arm as they both eat their ice cream in silence.

Marjorie then swipes a bit of her ice cream off the cone and onto reeces nose making him laugh "I'm going to get you back for that." he speaks before wiping a bit of his ice cream on her nose, she laughs grabbing the napkin from the cone and wiping her nose, she then decided to be nice and wipe reece's nose too, making sure its all gone.

When they finally finish their ice creams, they get up and put their napkins in the bin, marjorie then wraps her arms loosely around reece's neck and going on her tip toes to give him a kiss on the lips, it lasted only a second before she pulled away and laid her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat "come on gorgeous, lets go get the other bits and then we can go home and you can have a nap." just as he said the last sentence she yawned.

She nodded in response and pulled away, he took her hand his and they started walking again, things were finally starting to get better for the couple, as they walked, hand in hand, they shared memories and laughed, smiling at one another, they were so in love with eachother, they couldn't believe their wedding would be in 5 months, it almost felt too good to be true.
