Love of Hitters

Wedding Disaster

JEZABELLA

Two days until Dals and my brother say I do. We are sitting in the kitchen enjoying our coffee and chatting about the center pieces.

" Daliah stop their fine I promise"

" What am I going to do without you Jez?"

" Live your life Dals, you are going to be fine I promise"

We go quite as someone comes in Britton grabs a cup of coffee and wraps his arms around me.

" What are you two talking about"

" Center pieces, Daliah thinks they arn't extravagant enough"

He looks at the picture

" They look great and they have Jez's favorite flower in them"

I turn to him

" How the hell do you know that?"

He raise an eyebrow

" Thats a joke right?"

I just stare at him

" You always have tiger lilies in your room. and I have known you for 13 months now I would hope I know your favorite flower for douche bag moments at least."

" Douche bag moments?"

" Ehh sounded good"

" You are rediculous"

He nods and kisses me picking me up on the counter I wrap around him and he carries me out of the kitchen. We return a few hours later and I finish helping Daliah with the last minute prep.

We spend the next day getting our nails done and shopping.

" You know I am not wearing heels right?"

" I expect the combat boots I am okay with it"

I laugh

" I was thinking more teal leather booties to match my dress"

" You already got them?"

I nod

" And they are open toe"

I show her the picture I took with them on

" How many wepons do you have in there?"

" One in each just my brass knucks and my butterfly"

She nods

" Hopefully those won't be put to use"

" Your marrying a Desecantez there is a good chance they will be"

" Dals can I tell you something but you have to keep it a complete secret even from my brother"

She nods

" Always Jez"

" I was planning on joining the family business up until 3 days ago"

" What happened 3 days ago?"

" I threw up after the last contract and went to Veda"

" I'm...Um.... Not the only one using my body right now"

She gasps turning toward me

" Are you f*****g kidding me"

I shake my head

" I don't want my baby growing up in this life Dals and I can't just give it up I can't be like my mother."

She nods

" I get that Jez but does Britton know?"

I shake my head again and sigh

" I'm not sure how to tell him this is the life he knows the one he wants. I don't want him to feel like I am forcing him to leave for us."

" Your secret is safe with me I will make sure your brother gives you your last contract before our honeymoon so you can start your new life"

" Thank you Daliah"

She nods

" Always Jez"

We go about the rest of the day, when we get home I spend most of the night upchucking the Korean food we ate.

I walk into my room from brushing my teeth again and Cobe is sitting on my bed.

" Um... What are you doing in here?"

" How far along are you?"

" What are you talking about?"

" You have been in here since you got back all you ate was Korean food you love Korean food. That leaves one explanation"

" 9 weeks please don't tell anyone Cobe I am begging you"

" He should know Jez"

" I will talk to him I swear but I can't right now I need to figure things out"

" Your not thinking of that are you?"

" No never, I want this baby there isn't a doubt in my mind about that"

He smiles at me

" Good I will make sure you get your last contract before my honeymoon Jez but please talk to Rit"

I nod

" I will, I promise"

" Do you wish dad was here?"

I nod

" A lot lately, I know he would understand my Dilemma"

He gets up and hugs me

" I love you Jez I am always here for you no matter what"

I nod and smile at him He leaves and I crawl in bed falling asleep.

Wedding day

" The caterers arn't here yet the band canceled what the hell am I going to do?"

I grab her arms

" Breathe the world isn't ending Daliah I will handle it"

She nods I grab my phone making a few calls and booking one of my old acquaintance bands.

I call the catering company and they are stuck in traffic. They plan on being here within the hour.

I walk back into the room

" Alright there taken care of let's get you down that Aisle"

She nods and we walk to our places, her dad walks her down the Aisle behind me and I see a tear fall from Cobe's eye.

" If there is anyone against this Matrimony speak now or forever hold your peace"

A man stands up

" You can't do this Daliah you don't know who he really is"

She turns to him

" Sit the hell down Gregory"

" He a f*****g mob boss"

Britton and I take our leave and walk over to him

" Gregory you are ruining my best friends big day sit down and shut up or come with me and my boyfriend to be escorted out"

He sits down and Daliah's dad stands up

" Is he telling the truth Daliah?"

" Because if he is Mob I don't aprove of this marriage"

Britton and I have made our way back to the front

" Sit down dad he isn't a mob boss"

" He is Mafia"

" Oh that is so much better Daliah"

" What the hell is the diffrence?"

I look at him

" The diffrence is mobs are gangsters and thugs who do shady s**t and live a life of crime"

" Mafia is a family who will kill for their own and will die for their own we don't do shady s**t and our family is very successful in all aspects of business"

He nods

" Never mind continue"

Daliah turns and mouths a thank you and I nod. Britton is looking at me with an eyebrow raised and I roll my eyes.

We get to the reception and the band starts playing

Daliah walks up to me

" How the hell did you get Sentona at our wedding?"

I shrug

" They owe me go dance have fun"

She hugs me

" I'm really going to miss you Jez"

" I know I am going to miss you two now go"

" You going somewhere?"

I turn to Britton

" Um yeah I work my last contract tomorrow I am getting out of here"

" And when where you going to tell me Jezzy"

" I don't know Britton there is a lot I need to tell you but I'm not even sure where to start"

" How about where the hell you are going?"

" I don't know where I am going I just plan on driving until I find somewhere"

" Why?"

" Why what Ton?"

" Why the hell are you leaving Jezabella"

" Why Britton? Does it really matter? If I asked you to come with us would you?"

" You know I can't this is my life Jezabella, why can't you just accept that?"

" I can Britton for you, but this isn't my life anymore I can't stay here"

" Not even with me"

" I'm sorry Britton but I can't be around this lifestyle anymore" Tears start streaming my face he reaches up and wipes them pulling me to him.

" Stop, please Jezzy don't cry just one more night with me that is all I am asking"

I nod and nuzzle into his chest. We spend the night dancing and then he pulls me away and we have the most sensual s*x we ever had. I wake up early the next morning and sneak out grabing my stuff and completing my last job. Then just drive with no destination just a heart that I never thought could be broken and a hope for a better future for my baby.
