"Okay so I got a really good story for Aria so I'm going to go first," Layna says standing up from her chair. "So, one night Aria and I went to a club for the first time when we were fifteen. This was also the first time she ever drank too by the way. So, we drank, took many shots and the club was in like Huntington Beach somewhere, but I don't remember the exact location. We were walking down the street to where our Uber was parked and when we got inside Aria asked the driver if he wanted a free strip show. Sorry, Ace. But yeah, Aria then started taking off her dress while I kept laughing. She was just in a bra and her spandex while singing with no music on the entire way home. It wasn't the best singing by the way. But yeah, I needed to share that story. It's time to finally let it out," Layna finishes while everyone is chuckling.
"Layna, I'm getting you back at Cole and your’s wedding," I yell across.
Layna laughs along with everyone else.
Oh, yeah I forgot to mention. Cole and Layna are engaged now. He proposed a few nights ago. He took her to this romantic place, and I even helped Cole with everything.
Leo now stands up from his chair and smiles. "Oh, have I got the story for you," Leo laughs before talking. "Ace and I were around nineteen or twenty. I don't remember it was a very blurry time. Ace and I went out because we just needed a break from the real world. We took the cars out and he started drinking but don't worry we were safe. We had a driver pick us up after all of this so yeah just want to say that," Leo winks before talking again. "Ace and I ended up at a trampoline park and we were both drunk so Ace decided it would be a fun idea to go jumping. Everything was normal. We were having a good time and even made some kids fall by jumping too close to them and we even were playing dodge ball and hit some kids." the crowd laughs. "But suddenly, Ace decided to flash his whole ass to this kid who threw the ball at him. His bare ass was out, and the kid started crying once he saw Ace's ass. I even have it on video so Aria if you want that text me and I will send it to you," Leo finishes, laughing.
Everyone is cracking up at this point.
Ace's whole face is red. "Stronzo," he mutters.
We have a few more speeches and then it is time for the wedding garter.
People are now gathered around Ace and I in the middle of the floor. Ace takes my chin to make me look up at him. He kisses me before getting on his knees and dives his head under my dress.
Everyone is whistling and laughing. I look at Layna and see her crying with tears of laughter. I feel his tender kisses all the way up my inner thigh. He lifts my leg, so it rests on his shoulder.
I can feel my face getting hotter and hotter from embarrassment.
He travels his kisses right up until he gets to the spot between my legs. My breathing getting heavier and I refrain from groaning or closing my eyes.
He kisses through my lacy underwear making my eyes roll. He kisses his way down to the garter and takes it in his mouth and drags it down my leg until his head appears with the garter in his mouth.
Everyone cheers as Ace throws the garter to to the group of guys and I shake my head at him before he pulls me up from the chair roughly. I pull him down for a kiss kiss him. He groans into the kiss and wraps his arms around me.
“I’m going to have so much fun taking you to bed.” Ace mutters as he kisses me one last time before leaning away and smiling at me. His smile makes my heart melt and I fall immediately in love all over again. Everyone backs away from the dance floor and Ace slides his hand down my back to my waist. His other hands grabs mine and I rest my other hand on his shoulder. “No turning back now.” Ace smirks down at me as he starts to sway.
The soft music playing in the background is soothing and it almost feels like Ace and I are alone dancing.
“I wouldn’t want to.”
“Good. Because now you are never leaving me.”
My lips lift as I remember what Ace said in the dream I had before waking up to Dante.
“Now that I have you both, I’m never letting you go.”
“You said that,” I state. “in my dream.”
“Dream?” Ace furrowed his eyebrows.
“Yea. When I woke up in Dante’s warehouse I dreamed of you. We had a wedding, similar to this one but you said that right after you saved me.”
“It’s true. I know things haven’t been the best but I promise it will get better.”
“I believe you.” I assure Ace.
Ace leans down and places his lips on mine. “Ti amo.”
My cheeks start to heat up as I smile at Ace, staring into his green eyes that still have that very sparkle since he said those three words for the very first time
“I love you.”
Thirty One
Aceand I run into our bedroom before closing and locking the door.
