I grin as he addresses our witnesses, and starts the little speech about love and forever before he looks our way after about five minutes and smiles. "Now, I believe you've written your own vows?"

I smile and turn to my girl as Breaker’s whispered, "Fuck me, he's completely gone for her," hits our ears, making us laugh.

I grab Vi's hands, gently running my thumb over them and rasp, "The day I first saw you, you were looking around the high school, and I don't know why, but I gravitated toward you. But, because of our age difference, I walked away." Vi smiles as my heart pounds. "In college, you became mine, and I didn't even know it then. You came back into my life four years ago, and everything fell into place. When we bumped into each other at the home, I felt you first. When I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were always meant to be mine, and Shorty, it scared the living shit outta me." She giggles, her eyes filling with unshed tears as she squeezes my hands. I smile a little. "It took me a while, baby. Still, I finally got myself to a place where I deserved you?—"

She cuts in, "You always deserved me."

I smile and continue, "You went from being my best friend to being my heart. You burrowed yourself inside me so deep, I knew I couldn't lose you. And right here, today, I'm making a vow, a promise to always be by your side, through thick and thin, because you are my world, my heart. I love you, Violet."

Her tears fall and I quickly wipe them with my thumb with my left hand, leaving my right holding hers.

"Oh wow, that was so sweet," I hear Liv whisper as Judge Lord states, "Violet, your turn."

Violet smiles, her eyes never leaving mine as she whispers, "You're my everything," making me smile before she speaks a little louder, "For years, I had the biggest crush on you." I grin, waggling my brows, making her laugh a little. "I always thought you were out of my league. I always thought I wasn't your type or even on your radar…until I was. But then I lost everything, I lost my reason for living." My eyes tear up as a sniffle can be heard from behind us. "I hardened my heart, not willing to hurt again, but then you came back into my life, and crashed through that wall I built. You always saw yourself as unwanted, unloved, a burden, but to me, in my eyes, you're wanted every single day, you're loved by my whole heart, and you brighten my life. You've become why I live and breathe; you've become my family, hope, and home. Today, standing here with you and our friends, I get to prove to you how loved you are, and I get to vow to spend the rest of my life showing you how you've saved me."

My tears fall at the love my girl has for me as the judge clears his throat.

"Today, these two are showing their love, uniting as one. If anyone here can think of a reason why these two people should not marry, please speak now or forever hold your peace."

I keep eye contact with my girl, knowing our witnesses won't object, before the judge tells us to exchange rings. As soon as I have mine on her finger, I don't wait for the husband-and-wife part before my lips are on hers, making everyone laugh and cheer.

I finally have everything I've ever wanted with this woman, and nothing will ever tear her away from me.

I'd burn the earth for her.

Violet - One Week Later

Jayden groans as a bang echoes from the bathroom, and I bite my lip to stop my laughter, not feeling one bit guilty.

"For fuck's sake, Shorty!" I hear him growl before the bathroom door opens, and a furious Jayden storms out covered in pink dust and glitter. My body starts to shake as I try to control my laughter, but when he puts his hands on his narrow hips, and his towel falls, I nearly fall off the bed, laughing like a hyena.

His manhood doesn't look very manly right now.

He growls, shaking his head, making glitter fall on the floor, and that does it. One moment I'm trying to stay on the bed, and the next, my ass is banging on the floor, and my laughter gets louder as I look up at him.

His lips twitch, but he tries to look stern as he points at me and says, "Seriously, Vi, this shit has got to fucking stop. Your school is paid for, you've quit the café and lowered your hours at the home, get fucking used to it and stop with the pranks. It's Smokey's surprise wedding today, babe, and now I look like I'm going to a gay club with Cannon."

I know he's trying to put me in my place right now, and I know I should snap back at him, but he looks so fucking ridiculous my laughter doubles, making him growl loudly.

"Right, that's it," he snaps before heading my way. I squeal and scramble to get up, but as I get to my feet, his arms go around me as he tackles me onto our sheets, and I cackle when he starts to tickle me.

"J-Jayden, s-stop…" I laugh, feeling like I'm about to piss myself, before his lips go to mine. I hum, not caring about getting covered in glitter.

"I love you," I rasp against his lips, making him smile.

He replies, "I love you, too. I just wish I could take you to the wedding. I know Liv would want you there."

I smile but shrug and state as my fingers run through his hair, spreading the glitter, "I know, but it's okay, I promise."

He sighs, kissing me again. I know he doesn't want to go; being in a room with all the brothers is difficult for him.

I break the kiss and rub my nose against his, making him chuckle at the pink now on my nose.

I rasp, "Go watch one of your best friends marry the love of his life. This has been a long time coming, and now that he has his memory back, they can finally have their happily ever after."

He grins, kissing me again before getting up, butt naked. I laugh seeing his back covered in glitter.
