“Wow…maybe I should have gotten two.”
“Let’s just say that was the down payment. I’ll really thank you later, when I give you your gifts.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” She kissed him again. “Did you tell Jordan?”
“Yes.”
“And?” The door opened and Zoë and Jordan came barreling in.
“Break it up, you two.” She pulled Kyla and Sean apart and stood between them and looked at Sean not smiling. “Is it true?”
Sean looked at Kyla. “Is what true?”
“Sean Myles Prescott, just because I love you, doesn’t mean I won’t hurt you. Answer me.” She looked around to see if they were alone. “Is it true you and Kyla are getting married?”
“What are you talking about?” Sean asked.
“Jordan told me you and Kyla are getting married tonight,” Zoë replied.
“I’m sorry man, she wore me down, and I had to tell her,” Jordan winked at Sean and Kyla.
“Yes.” She socked Sean. “Ouch Zoë!”
She turned to Kyla and hesitated before hugging her. “Congratulations, girl.”
“She gets a hug and I get socked, what’s with that?” Sean asked.
She turned around, waited a beat and then smiled. “Brother-in-law,” she wrapped her arms around him. “I’m so happy for you.”
“Thanks, Zoë.”
“I’m sorry, man, she’s been running hot and cold like this for a while. I told her she was pregnant.”
“Jordan, stop it.” She pulled back and looked at her watch. “Okay, it’s three o’clock and we have to get the show on the road. Sean, kiss your fiancée and get out of here. We have a wedding to get ready for.” They all laughed at her giving instructions.
Kyla r
ushed to answer the door. She patted her chest and took a deep breath before opening the door. “Mommy, Daddy, look at you two.” Nadine and Percy stepped inside as Kyla closed the door. “Mommy, you look beautiful.”
“Thank you, baby.”
“Daddy, you look very handsome.”
“Thank you, baby girl. Is everything all right?” Percy asked.
“Have a seat,” Kyla pointed to the sofa.
“We don’t want to get wrinkled,” Percy announced.
She stood facing them like when she was a little girl wrestling with a confession for something she’d done wrong. She cocked her head, swallowed hard and continued with her confession. “Sean…uhm,” she looked at her parents, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. “Sean and I are getting married… tonight.” She looked at her parents, waiting for their reaction, but nothing. “Did you hear what I said…Sean and I are getting married.”
Her mother covered her mouth with her hand and kept blinking, trying to fight the tears sitting on her lower eyelids. She leaned back into Percy’s chest and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Mommy, say something,” Kyla urged. She stepped closer to her, and Nadine threw her arms around her neck and started crying.
“Nadine, get a hold of yourself.” She stepped back and sat down. Percy reached forward and wrapped Kyla in his arms and hugged her. “Congratulations, baby girl.”
