“How?”
“Well Griffin is currently on the internet trying to get ordained so he can marry us. We can do it here in the club. Everyone is already here, and most will be hung over,” he laughs.
“Seriously?”
“Yes. Astera is the one who came up with the idea.”
“That girl is a genius.”
“And if you still prefer to get married at a venue, we can do it in the spring, or on an anniversary, but I’m not waiting another second to marry you. We could get married in a box, but I wouldn’t care as long as we are together.”
I smile wide. “I don’t want to wait either.”
By evening, Astera is ushering Hayden out of his own room. And once he leaves, she reaches for my hand. “Let’s get you up and dressed.”
“You look so fucking pretty.” Her hunter-green dress and shows off her small baby bump. “Thanks for saving the day,” I add.
“Hey. You’re my bestie, and I am not letting some goddamn snow get in the way of you and Hayden professing your lives to one another. It took some maneuvering, but it’s doable.”
In the closet, I reach toward the back to pull my dress out. With my dress on, the day finally seems real. I’m getting married.
“You look like a goddess,” Astera says once my dress is on. Astera helps put my hair half up, and the rest hangs down in waves she is putting in with my curling iron.
“Knock, knock,” I hear a woman’s voice.
“Come in,” I call.
Makenna comes in. She is a club whore. “I wanted to offer to do your makeup. I know a thing or two about it. And you have always been nice to me so I promise not to make you look ridiculous.”
I chuckle. “Yeah, come in, babe.”
“I know you don’t need the makeup because you have that smooth, pretty face. But it’s your special day.”
“I appreciate it, Makenna. My makeup bag is on the counter in the bathroom.”
“Perfect.”
She gets to work on my makeup while Astera pulls my boots on my feet. “I can do that. You are pregnant.”
“Stop fidgeting,” she scolds me.
Sighing, I let them continue what they are doing.
Makenna steps back to look at her work. “You look stunning.”
I stand to look in the mirror, and she really did a good job; the makeup isn’t caked on my face. Just enough to give me a natural glow look.”
“Thank you.”
Astera pulls Makenna back so they both can look at me from head to toe. “You don’t look like a goddess, you are one,” Astera gushes. Smiling, Makenna excuses herself, leaving Astera and me.
“I am so proud of you, and how far you have come over the last few months. It’s almost a one-eighty.” Tears well up in her eyes, and I’m fanning my face so I don’t ruin my makeup.
“You are going to make me cry, and you know I hate this sappy shit,” I tease to make us both laugh.
Astera continues. “I love you. And no matter what, I will always be here for you.”
“We have each other,” I add.
