Jen's pov

His arms were wrapped around my waist as we rocked gently back and forth. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I wanted to enjoy this moment as much as possible. In the arms of my true love, my husband, dancing at our wedding.

I felt his soft lips on my forehead and smiled. 'Have you had a good time?'

I opened my eyes and looked at him without taking my head off his shoulder. I pressed a kiss in his neck. 'Of course. It was perfect'

'Colin, may I borrow your wife for a dance?' I heard my father's voice

Colin nodded. 'Of course!' He handed me over to my father, who smiled at me proudly. 'I'm so happy for you, honey. After all those years you have finally found the perfect man'

I smiled and put my arms around my father. I saw Colin dancing with his mother next to me. I closed my eyes again, but when I opened them a little later, he was gone. Behind me I heard the music stop. I turned around and saw Colin standing on the small stage with a microphone in his hand.

He smiled at me. 'I know you wanted me to sing this evening and you know how much I hate to do this, but today I want to make an exception for you.' He placed the microphone back in the stand and grabbed his guitar. (A/N: you can play the video above this chapter if you want to! Makes it more real even though it's not Colin's voice)

'I can't unfeel your pain
I can't undo what's done
I can't send back the rain
But if I could I would
My love, my arms are open'

He opened his eyes and stared at me with a smile.

'So when you feel like you can't take another round of being broken
My arms are open
And when you're losing faith and every door around you keeps on closing
My arms are open'

I covered my mouth with my hands. This was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me.

'I can't uncry your tears
I can't rewind the time
I can't unsay what's said
In your crazy life
My love, my arms are open'

Tears welled up in my eyes

'Ooh, and when you're cursing at the sky
And thinking, "Lord, you must be joking"
My arms are open
And, and when you're looking in the mirror
Thinking "Damn, my life is over"
My arms are open

My arms are open
My arms are open
My arms are open
My arms are open

So let me do to you
What you've always done for me
And let me be the ground
Underneath your feet'

His voice gave me goose bumps all over my body. My knees became weaker and weaker after every word he sang.

'I can't unfeel your pain
I can't undo what's done
I can't send back the rain
But if I could I would
My love, my arms are open, arms are open

So when you feel like you can't take another round of being broken
My arms are open
Oh, and when you're losing faith and every door around you keeps on closing
My arms are open

My arms are open
My arms are open
My arms are open
My arms are open

I will be standing here
I will be by your side
You'll see me loud and clear
With my arms open wide
I will be standing here
I will be by your side
You'll see me loud and clear
With my arms open wide

My arms are open'

He continued to play on his guitar before the song ended. He jumped off the stage with a loud applause. Tears rolled down my cheeks as he walked towards me and took me in his arms. I buried my face in his neck and inhaled his familiar scent.

'Why are you doing this to me?' I sobbed

He wiped the tears from my cheeks. 'Was it really that bad?'

'I was able to keep my tears all day and now you've ruined it' I smiled through my tears

He pulled me against him and rubbed my back. 'Sorry, love' he whispered in my hair

We stood there for a few minutes. Our bodies against each other, his head against mine and his strong arms wrapped around my body.

'You are irresistible in a suit' I whispered in his ear

He raised his eyebrow. 'Says the woman walking around in a beautiful dress'

'I think you're even more irresistible without a suit' I added cheeky, totally ignoring what he just said

He pressed his lips to my ear, making sure I got goose bumps all over my body again. 'You'll have me all night without this suit, Mrs. O'Donoghue' he whispered

Every end of my body became weak. 'You couldn't handle it'

He smirked. 'Perhaps you are the one who couldn't handle it'
