" I've missed you so much it hurts. " Stefan murmured against her neck. They managed to make it back to the bedroom before he could devour her on the stairs.
"I've missed you too." Rella said a moan escaping her lips. She cupped his engorged member and Stefan stiffened and pulled back.
"I think we should stop before things get a bit too heated."
"Why? In case you haven't noticed I want you too."
"I don't want to hurt you. You just came out of the hospital."
"I'm not an invalid you know."
"I'm just being cautious."
" Such a spoil sport."
Stefan chuckled. "why don't we get you to bed… "
"You're leaving, please stay." Rella protested.
"I'm not leaving." Stefan assured her before he climbed in after her and gathered her in his arms. "Try not to wiggle too much."
"Like this?" Rella said wiggling her behind against his crotch.
Stefan hissed out a curse while she snickered. "Fiend."
It was her wedding day.
The idea of it feels surreal that Rella thought she was dreaming it all up. Her heart was beating wildly whether in fear, anticipation or excitement she couldn't tell– it might be all of those emotions at once. Her palms were clammy. She hadn't been this nervous the first time she was impersonating Cindy.
"Don't tell me you're having second thoughts." Van said.
"No, of course not!"
"Good because you look absolutely divine in that wedding dress."
Yeah she does. Rella admitted and what makes it even more beautiful was the fact that it was a wedding dress made specially for her and not someone else's like the first time.
"I'm so happy for you best friend. You've come a long way."
Rella couldn't agree more. After all the deception trying to hide her real identity, after all the heart ache that followed because she'd fallen madly in love with Stefan and the thought that she'd lost him to end up spending the rest of her life with him, everything was leading to this wonderful moment. She smiled. "Yes I have come a long way indeed."
Her attention suddenly drifted to Van's protruding stomach. "How's the little one?"
"Naughty. I barely get enough sleep these days I think I might be carrying a future champion league player." They laughed.
The doctor said she wouldn't have a hard time conceiving again and Rella had already begun to imagine herself looking like Van in a few months, she couldn't help feelung giddy. " You shouldn't stress yourself, Cindy can be my maid of honour. "
" Are you kidding no one else is getting this honour but me. Oh wait I have to pee I'll be right back. " Rella chuckled shaking her head.
" You look gorgeous." Rella turned from the mirror just as Cindy walked in.
"Cindy." Rella said with a smile.
"You were always better looking as a bride."
Rella scoffed. "That's a lie I've seen you in a wedding dress before and you looked ethereal."
Cindy shrugged. She was wearing a royal blue mini tube dress and she'd gotten rid of the crutches. "Perhaps it has more to do with the perception of the person wearing it."
"Thank you for coming."
" I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. Your happiness is my happiness as well an you deserve it, all of it. "
Rella's eyes stung as she blinked back tears." Stop you're making me emotional I might cry and ruin my makeup. " She grumbled and Cindy pulled in her hug.
" I love you. "
" I love you too. "
" Well this is quite a sight to behold. " Evie Cortes said as both sisters pulled away from each other. " I am so proud of you both." She pulled them both in an embrace.
"Mom please." Cindy rolled her eyes while Rella chuckled. They look exactly the same but they were polar opposites.
"It's time." Van poked her head in to announce.
