We both started laughing as my father approached me. “I think they want to do the father daughter dance now Honey.”
I had purposely requested this dance to be one of the last of the night. Marrying Colt while he cried was hard, but dancing with my father, at this particular moment was like sealing my childhood away. I know it was juvenile to think like that, but I couldn’t help be a little irrational about it.
I could hear the music to Heartland’s “I loved her first” coming on. My father reached out his hands and took me in his arms. I buried my head into his broad chest and tried so hard not to cry. He started rubbing my back and I could feel him crying against my body. Saying goodbye to my parents when I moved to Kentucky was a rushed decision. They wanted me to finally be happy after so many years of uncertainty with Ty. Colt changed my life, at a time when all I had on my side was my parents. Sure, they had respected my decision, but I knew they missed me terribly.
“I love you Daddy.” I cried on his shoulder, forgetting all about my perfect wedding face of makeup. The cameras flashed like crazy around us, but my father never let go of me. He squeezed my hand and held me tight.
“I love you too Honey. I’m so proud of the woman you have become. Please promise you will come to visit as much as you can. I miss you so much already.”
I saw Colt watching us, he was dancing with his mother. She was much shorter than he was so just watching them was really cute. I knew what they were talking about and it made me even more emotional. As the song ended, my father kissed me on the cheek and slowly let go. He gave Colt a quick hug before finding my mother.
“You okay Darlin’?”
“I am now.” I smiled and accepted his gentle kisses to my lips.
“I know we live together, but for some reason, I can’t wait to get you home and strip off your clothes tonight.”
I ran my hands around his perfect butt and pulled his body toward mine. “I can’t wait either.”
“So did I do good?”
He spun me around and pulled me back into his arms. “You have no idea how happy you’ve made me. This day was more perfect than I had ever imagined.”
“You know I aim to please.” He teased.
“Well, I can’t wait to show you how grateful I am to be your wife.” I ran my lips over his, causing an instant heat between my legs.
People around us were starting to get rowdy, including Conner and Ty. I wasn’t exactly sure where Bella had gone, but the music got a lot more clubby and Ty and Miranda were lighting up the dance floor with their provocative dancing. It wasn’t classy, but it wasn’t as dirty as I had seen them dance in the past. They were both good dancers to begin with and together, they were fun to watch. Of course, Brina and Conner took it as a challenge and began trying to out dance them.
Miranda and Ty had them from the beginning, in fact they never changed their pace, while Conner was reaching under Brina’s dress and grinding her into his body. Since they’d already hooked up, I knew where it was leading, in fact everyone there did. Ty and Miranda knew they were together, so the chase wasn’t an issue for them. As much as Conner tried, everyone watched Ty and Miranda who were so in sync you would think they rehearsed.
Colt and I stood back and started clapping and egging them on. Even the older guests were getting a kick out of the two guys competing for bragging rights.
“I think Ty’s got it.” Colt laughed.
I shook my body to the beat of the song. “Yeah, Brina has nothing on Miranda. Ty told me one time that Miranda danced better than any stripper or Porn star he had ever watched. Since I have no idea what they dance like, what do you think?”
He started laughing hysterically. “Yeah, she’s pretty good, but she’s my younger cousin and I hate comparin’ her like that, besides, I think it’s okay for Ty to say that but he wouldn’t want anyone else doin’ it.”
Colt was right. Ty was a protective person. He could brag all he wanted, but if someone said anything about either of those girls, it was on like Donkey Kong.
After three more long songs, Conner and Ty finally high fived and went back to their seats. Even with everyone seemingly entertained by their immaturity, it was good to have a break from laughing. People were starting to head out, so Colt and I made it a point to walk around and make sure we thanked everyone for joining us.
When it was just our immediate family, Colt’s mother came up and told us to just head home. She said that she had arranged for the cleanup and we needed to enjoy our night.
I didn’t want to leave my parents since I barely ever got to see them, but they also insisted it was our night to enjoy.
