Adrian's POV

It's the after party and everyone is dancing and talking. Kace is rubbing my belly and talking to it. He is so excited I am too. He will make a great dad because he is a great husband.

"You don't understand how happy I am Angel," he says holding my hand and kissing it. "Now you are mine forever." He says kissing my neck. "So is that," He slides his hand on my thigh and I know what he is referring to.

I push him off and chuckle. "Not here!" I mumbled. He sighs and laughs.

"We got time later," he says kissing my cheek.

30 minutes pass by and everyone is sitting at their table and has already finished eating . At my table it's Vivien, Quinni, Tyler, Blake, Kace, and me. Tyler was actually able to make it to my wedding even if he has other things to do. He sees me as his little sister so maybe that's why he made the time. But something is off about him. He has been acting strange and everytime someone talks about Kace and I, his hand forms a fist. His eyes were filled with...jealousy. But why?

"Hey," Kace says holding my hand in his as it lays on my lap. He rubs circles on the back of my hand when he realizes I am thinking about something I shouldn't and my leg is bouncing rapidly. "What's wrong? Is everything all right?" I look him in the eyes and he is worried.

I place my other hand on top of his hand that is holding my other hand. "Everything is perfect. I am here with you. Finally married to the love of my life. Nothing can go wrong today." I grab his fast gently and kiss his cheek. "I love you, Mr. Lexington." He smiles and caresses my cheek. I melt into his hand.

"I love you too, Mrs. Lexington." He kisses me gently and pulls back with a smile on his face. This man has flipped my world around for the better. He made my life so much better and know that we are forever it is really meant to be.

I hear a glass cup ding and when I look up I see my maid of honors, Vivien and Quinni standing up smiling at me. The tears started forming and they didn't even say anything. Keep yourself together Adrian.

"Am I going first or?" Vivien said to Quinni. Quinni handed the microphone to Vivien and sat down. Vivien looked at me and looked at her paper. She looked back at me and looked back at her and laughed. She brought the microphone closer to her mouth. "I don't need to read out of a piece of paper." She puts the paper on the table and we make eye contact. "Adrian," she wipes her tears away. "Look I am crying because I've never seen you so happy. It makes me so happy-" she clears her throat and laughs while a tears goes down her face but she wipes it off. "-Adrian, I remember the day when you ran me over with a scooter and you wouldn't stop apologizing no matter how many times I say 'it's ok. It was an accident.' You just kept apologizing that whole day. You still do it to this day and it's so funny. I remember when you fell down the stairs and got up and laughed it off." I laugh with a lump in my throat for crying. "I remember that you would always stay strong no matter what because Adrian..." she bursts into tears. "You are the most strongest girl I know. Nothing ever brought you down, you always was standing. You are like a sisters to me. I love you so much." She says crying. She puts her arm to cover her nose and cries. I stand up and run and hug her and cry with her.

My friends are the reason I am standing and they stand with me. We are a team. We laugh together. Cry together. Smile together. Fight together. I am so grateful for them. I pull back from the hug and grab her face and look at her. I mouth "thank you" and she smiles.

I sit back down next to Kace and he grabs my hand and kisses my hand.

Quinni takes the microphone from Vivien when she sits down. "Ok my turn," she grabs a piece of paper. "I tend to forget what I say so I have to read off of this." She says waving the paper in air and everyone laughs. "Adrian, I have known you since forever. I know, I know I am the mom in the group but it's because I want the best for you. You are the most beautiful strong woman I know. Our group is so strong together and God forbid something happens to you and we lose that strength. We can't be the baddest group without all three of us. I remember when I had that party and you saw a man trying to get in my pants and punched him in the face. You told him, and I quote, 'Touch her again, I'll break every fucking bone in your body. Don't fucking touch her again.' You asked me if I am okay and then you saw me cry. You started crying and then Vivien started crying. I'm happy for you A. I love you so much." She sniffles and laughs. I blow her a kiss since Kace won't let me get up. Quinni sits down and wipes the tears off her face.

Layla takes the microphone from Quinni. "Ok," she says in the microphone. "Now the bride has a surprise for the groom." She looks at me. "So may the bride and groom come here please. Kace and I stand up and go to Layla. "Kace, come sit right here." She pulls out a chair from one of the extra tables and places it in the center of the floor. Kace pecks my lip and sits down. "Adrian, come up on the stage." I go up on the stage and stand in front of the microphone stand. Layla puts the microphone on the stand and checks to see if it works.

"You got this," Layla whispers to me. She walks off and sits at her table. The lights go out and the spotlights are on me and Kace.

The music starts to play.

Play the music

If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no else that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
Ooh so keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes he goes again
Walkin' with that troublesome girl
But they're just afraid of something they don't  understand
Ooh but darlin' watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain
Don't you say, goodbye
Don't you say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain

The music ends and the lights come back on and the spotlights turn off. Kace gets up and wipes his face from crying. He runs to me and spins me around, lifting me up and kisses me as I am still in the air in his arms. He puts me down not breaking the kiss for awhile. Everyone around us is cheering, clapping, and awwing.

"I love you so much," he says while cupping my face and pulling me back in for a another kiss. My arms wrap around his neck as the kiss is the only thing I am paying attention to.

I pull away and smile at him. "I love you too."

He embraces me and it is so warm. Everything is so perfect. I feel so happy.
