I never make a promise I don't intend to keep
So when I say forever, forever's what I mean
I'm no Casanova but I swear this much is true
I'll be holdin' nothing back when it comes to you
You dream of love that`s everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
You want tenderness-I got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man who understands
You don't have to look very far
I love you Darlin’ “
Someone came and grabbed the microphone from Colt as the music finally faded into another song. He pulled me into his embrace and kissed me deeply. I was still speechless. I couldn’t believe he had sang to me in front of everyone. I had never heard him do anything like that before. Sure, he had sang to me as we danced, but never for everyone else to hear. I was overwhelmed with happiness.
“That was amazing.”
“Could you tell how nervous I was?” Colt got this embarrassed look across his face.
I looked into those green eyes that made me melt every time I saw them. “Are you kidding me, you totally owned it baby.”
“I used to sing in church when I was a kid. I hated people watchin’ me. I just wanted to give you everything today. Were you surprised with the barn?”
“You have no idea. My God, it is more beautiful than the other one. I can’t believe you did this for us.”
“For you Savanna. I did it for you. I would have married you anywhere, but I knew how important this was to you. I needed to make it happen Darlin’.”
“I love you so much Colt. I have never been happier in my whole life.”
We swayed to the music and he held me so tight in his arms. “Just wait until we fill that house with little feet. We are just beginning Savanna.”
Colt and I broke away after the second dance and started on our wedding to-do list. I had originally planned it all out, but after his vows and his song to me, I just couldn’t think straight.
Ty grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug. “Congrats Van.” He took both of his hands and grabbed my face to plant a kiss over my mouth. Miranda stood behind him laughing the whole time.
“Thanks.” I started wiping my lips. Bella came up and grabbed my dress while she jumped up and down. I picked her up and got a giant slobber kiss. “Aunt Van loves you.”
She poked me in the nose. “Van.”
Colt came up and grabbed her, spinning her on to the dance floor in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he danced around wildly, while she clung to him laughing.
I needed to be pregnant.
The food was even better than when we had sampled it and the cake was to die for. Colt and I agreed to not make a mess with our first taste, but Ty and Conner taunted him so badly that at the very last second, I got it smashed all over my face and up my nose. As Colt began trying to lick it off my face, I grabbed his neck and pulled his face into the mess over mine. Instead of pulling away, he pushed his face all over mine, gathering the icing with his own skin. He pulled away licking his lips, smiling at me.
How could anyone be mad at someone that looked like Colt?
After we had done everything traditional on my list, we met everyone out on the dance floor. Even my grandparents were dancing, as best as four very old people could. Colt’s mother was dancing with Ty’s dad, while Ty’s mother danced all around with Bella.
Miranda and Ty finally had a second to themselves, since Bella was occupied. Instead of dancing to the melody of the song, they were in a deep embrace with their faces buried into each other’s bodies. The old Ty would have been groping all over someone while he danced, but he held his wife so passionately, it made me so happy for them. I regretted all of the terrible things I had said to him when I caught them together. They were truly, madly and deeply in love with each other. It was picturesque. While Ty and Miranda fell in love with each other, Bella had made them a family from the beginning.
Just as I was thinking about the little beauty, I watched her spot her parents and go flying toward them. Ty startled when her little body smacked right into his leg. With one arm still around Miranda, he picked her up and held her between them. She giggled as he placed kisses all over her face.
“They’re beautiful aren’t they?” Colt asked as he watched them with me.
“I want that.” I confessed.
Colt pulled my gaze to his face. “We will have it Darlin’. Be patient. It will happen. Besides, not only do we have our whole lives together, but I’m really liking the tryin’ part of it all. Anything that gives me a reason to make love to my wife is a good reason to me.”
