Apple in the tree (part 31 of 31)
Epilogue :
I laughed as the puppy licked at my face.
“Nacho…” I said pushing the fluffy golden retriever down.
I pushed up from the couch. I waddled to the kitchen.
I was starving.
Tom was headed home from work now though….I couldn’t wait for food though.
I rubbed a hand over my swollen belly, I was almost 9 months pregnant.
I sighed.
I heard the front door open.
“Thank god!” I said as I saw Tom walk in
He laughed setting the bags down.

The fabric of my dress, ruffled lightly in the breeze and the preacher read us the vows, the ever fading sun gleamed down on to Tom’s skin, making the blue of his eyes sparkle at me. I couldn’t even breath looking at him, he was as breathtakingly handsome as he was the first day I met him.
“I do” he whispered
I willed the tears away as the preacher finally said, “you may kiss the bride”
Tom’s soft lips pressed to mine.
He pulled away and grinned, he reached down and laced our fingers together.
The wedding was perfect, the weather had turned out great. I couldn’t wait to get all our photos back from Hannah and frame them.
In one day we would be on an airplane, headed to where ever Tom chose for us.

I pressed the cell phone to my ear.
I was in panic mode. I was going over my lists. I had the bouquets chosen. My family was coming into New York as was Tom’s family. We decided on a smaller wedding of immediate family and friends and a small party at the new apartment.
Rose and Brig and Carley were my bridesmaids and Alex agreed to be Tom’s best man and Brian was one of his groomsmen.

The warm waves felt good on my skin as I closed my eyes and waded in the water.
I felt arms wrap around me from behind.
“mmm” I sighed leaning in to Tom’s embrace.
He chuckled softly
“I love this..”
my heart swelled with the sound of his voice.
This trip was perfect.
I turned around so I was facing him and hugged his half naked body to me.
“I think I am gonna have a new rule of the apartment when we get back…..”
“and what is that?” I said
“I want you to walk around naked”
“what?!” I said looking up at him
“ I want you naked in the apartment….for me.”
“are you going to be naked too?”
“yes….” he grinned
“maybe I will…”
he leaned down and planting a kiss on my shoulder

I gripped the armrests of the plane.
I hated flying. I rarely ever did it.
“You look like you are about to pass out” Tom chuckled quietly beside me
I glared at him.
I felt him take my hand, my heart suddenly racing for a different reason.
He pressed his lips to my palm.
“it isn’t that long a flight. Just think about all the beaches and the waves”
“And you naked on the beach….” I whispered closing my eyes
I felt his mouth near my ear.
“Making love in the sand….beneath the stars” he whispered gently nipping at my ear.
I sighed. The turbulence was nothing compared to feelings he was giving me right than.

Tom walked alongside me up the driveway to the swanky looking resort.
We had just finished with the florist and the Baker.
Now it was time to see the venue.
This was the place to hold weddings, Terrace on the park.
This was one of the choices we had decided on.

It was the middle of February.
The absolute dead of winter.
The wedding plans were in speed mode.
We only had 3 and ½ months left to plan.

Tom’s POV
I groaned flinging the phone down onto my bed.
A week without Aimee was proving to be torture.
If I was this bad after a week. I would probably be worse by 3 months in.
I had spent the last hour trying to reach her phone. I knew she was probably at work. I texted her and yet still no answer.
I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door.

I sat on my laptop browsing online for where I could find the perfect New Years eve dress. New Years Eve was two days away. Tom was just finishing packing up again.
I leaned into the headboard of the bed. Dressed in a t-shirt and boy shorts.
Typing away into search engines. Whilst Tom was in the shower getting ready to go out for a job interview. I had the day off because Alex and Hannah came down with a 24 hour bug.
I let out a sigh as I heard Tom’s cell phone vibrate on the bedside table.
“Hello?” I said cheerfully into the phone.
Years of practice being nice to people…I usually didn’t want to talk with, even though I picked up the phone not realizing who was actually calling.

My blue high heels clicked on the pavement as we walked across the parking lot, heading into the bar.
Tom’s hand was laced with mine.
We made it inside to the warmth of the bar.
“Alright…who is going to be the designated driver?” Alex called out among us…
“I don’t drink much…neither does Mary…so I guess we could..” Steve said
We all nodded, which meant that Carley, Me, Rose, Brig, Jessica, Eric, and Tom were going to be participating…in Alex’s ridiculous drinking games. I liked the body shots, but I was in a dress, so I knew Alex would find a way to make Tom do a body shot off of me.
