I Left My Heart In Vegas

The Big Day

            "Good morning."
            "Morning."
            "We're getting married today."
            "We are."
            Aaron and Bree lied in bed together, arms wrapped around each other. Bree's head resting on his bare chest, listening to his quick heart beat. "Is that pounding heart caused by excitement, or anxiety?" Bree asked.
            "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous at all, but regardless, I'm still excited." Aaron replied, before he kissed the top of her head.
            "I'm a little nervous too."
            "Yeah?"
            "Yeah, I'm nervous I'm going to trip over my dress when I'm walking down the isle." Aaron laughed. Hearing that that was Bree's biggest worry, made him feel more comfortable. Bree finally climbed out of bed, and slid on a pair of comfy sweats, and a tank top. "You know, we shouldn't have had sex before the wedding, its bad luck. Technically, we aren't even supposed to be seeing each other."
            "Oh, I don't believe in all that."
            "You hunt ghosts yet you don't believe in wedding superstitions?" Aaron rolled over in bed, and rested his eyes.
            "We love each other, no kind of bad luck is going to keep us from each other."
            "Hey, don't fall asleep! Zak will be here soon to pick you up." Bree said, as she bent down beside the bed.
            "What can I say? You wore me out."
            "If you thought that was good, wait for the honeymoon, babe." Bree firmly pressed her lips against Aaron, then walked towards the door. "I'll see you later."
            Aaron wasn't lying when he said he was worn out. As much as he needed to get up, he couldn't find the strength to push himself out of bed. He drifted to sleep, and just minutes after, Zak peeked his head in the doorway. He chuckled quietly to himself, as Aaron's snores sounded like a freight train passing through. Zak sighed, happy that he only had to hear that when they were on the road. I feel sorry for Bree.
            Zak's twisted mind hatched up a sneaky idea. He slowly crawled into bed with Aaron, keeping himself above the covers, and with a single finger, tickled Aaron's neck. When Aaron smiled, Zak had to bite his lip to keep from laughing out loud. "Bree, did you want round two?" Aaron said, softly, with his eyes still closed. Zak leaned in closer.
            "Yeah, baby..." Zak said, with his deep voice. Suddenly, Aaron popped his eyes open. As he leaped out of bed, he pulled the comforter with him, and wrapped it around his bare waist. Zak couldn't hold back his laughter, as he saw Aaron's beat red face.
            "Bro, what the fuck?"
            "Oh, calm down, I was just messing around." Zak said, through his obnoxious laughter.
            "Do you realize that I'm completely naked, and you just laid in the bed where me and my future wife just had sweaty sex?"
            Zak wore a disgusted face, and quickly swung his legs around to jump out of the bed. He almost fell to the floor, as the bed sheets wrapped around his ankle. Aaron saw him as a wet dog, kicking his legs over and over to removed the sheet. Now, Aaron was the one laughing. "Bro, that's so fucking gross."
            "Hey, next time stay out of my bed, you creeper." Aaron walked to the bathroom, as Zak wiped the tainted residue off his clothes.
            "Hey, man, you're getting married today." Zak said, as he inched towards the bathroom door. Aaron was dressed, and swung the door open.
            "I'm getting married today."
            "You're getting married today!"
            "I'm getting married!!" Aaron yelled, and strongly high fives Zak. Trying to keep their masculinity, and not showing any real emotions. But as they stood face to face, they realized that this was exactly the kind of day to show how they felt. Zak hugged Aaron, but made sure to give a few hard pats on the back. Suddenly, Billy and Jay walked into the room, and curled their lips at the sight.
            "Enough with the sappy shit, can we get going, please?" Billy joked. Zak and Aaron quickly separated, and cleared their throats. "Are you marrying Bree or Zak?"
            "Fuck off, dude."
            I was overcome with happiness, as I stood behind my best friend, and watched her share her vows with the love of her life. As moving as the ceremony was, I couldn't resist looking past Aaron at Zak. His eyes were steady on me as well. The way he smiled at me was filled with warmth, and tenderness. Maybe, it was the loving ambiance, or watching his best friend take that final leap, but the way he was looking at me made me feel even more love for him, and I knew he had something up his sleeve. "I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. Goodwin. You may now kiss the bride."
The entire room was filled with cheers, and whistles, as Aaron dipped Bree low, and gave her a strong, passionate kiss. Zak locked his arm with mine, and we followed, as Bree and Aaron walked down the isle. Now, as a married couple. Billy and Billie walked together behind us. "I'm Billy, what's your name?" Billy asked her.
"Billie."
"Nice." Billy smiled.
The Ghost Adventures crew really knew how to throw one hell of a party. I don't even want to imagine the kind of money Aaron shelled out for this reception. Open bar, great decorations, and prime rib on every table. I sat with Zak, as we watched Aaron twirl Bree around for their first dance. Zak might as well have took out his eyes, and directly placed them on me. His stare was steady, never looking away. "Would you like to tell me something?" I asked, with a grin.
"Now, why would you ask that?"
"Zak, you haven't stopped staring at me since the ceremony."
"What? I can't look at my beautiful girlfriend?"
"Come on, Zak. Tell me." I urged. Zak smiled, and looked around at the group of friends who shared the table with us. The atmosphere wasn't right for him, so he grasped my hand.
"Come with me."
