The Mission

Chapter 23- Smut

-Chapter 23-

*1 week later

I looked in the mirror at the white and black tuxedo I was wearing. I still couldn't believe that I was getting married to Jerome today. On the way here, I saw the chapel. Our sisters really outdid themselves. It looked like a dream. Well, it matches how I feel. It feels like a dream. It feels like I'll just wake up any second now.

I turned my head to the door opening. Ty walked in, holding a bundle of bouquets. "Here." He handed me a large bouquet of roses.

"What's this for?" I asked while searching the room for a vase.

"It's to hold while going down the isle." He replied while opening a cabinet and pulling out a cup. "I found the flowers in the forest. Here's a cup to keep them in for now." He put a cup of water on the side table and I put the beautiful bouquet in it. "Need help with anything?"

I took a deep breath. "I'm nervous." I truthfully said.

Ty sat in a chair in the corner of the room. "Why?"

"I don't know. I just feel like everything will go downhill." I sighed and leaned against the wall.

Ty yanked a rose out of one of the bouquets in his hand and sniffed it. "Jerome loves you." He said after a minute or two. "Nothing is going to go wrong."

"I hope." Was the last thing I said before the room went silent. I heard music in the room next to mine which was the chapel.

Ty grabbed the rose bouquet from the vase and dried off the ends. "Ready?" Ty asked, standing up from the chair and handing me the bouquet.

I nodded and we walked to the chapel. I could hear 'Cat' by C418 through the closed door. As soon as the door was opened, the music changed and the few people stood up. I gave the room a speedy look-over; creamy white walls, spruce wood chairs, glowstone lights, and a small, forest green stage-like platform. Standing on the platform was Jerome, my soon-to-be husband. He was dressed in a black and white suit, contrast to mine, with a rose clipped to the front pocket. He seemed to be just as nervous as I was.

The music changed as I started walking towards Jerome. It changed to a song I've never heard before, but now like.

"Heart beats fast,

Colors and promises,

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone,

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer,

I have died everyday waiting for you,

Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you,

For a thousand years,

I'll love you for a thousand more." The singer sang.

The music was cut off when I got to the platform. Jerome grabbed my hands after carefully placing the bouquet on the floor. "Glad you came." He whispered to me.

"Wouldn't miss this for the world." I whispered back.

A man walked up in the platform with a book and began to speak. Without meaning to, I zoned out for the first part of his 'speech'. I zoned back in when he asked me a question. "Do you, Mitchell, take Jerome to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." I replied.

The man spoke again. "And do you, Jerome, take Mitchell to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
