"Care to explain"
Wade looks at me wide eyed.
I turn from him and sit on the sofa, putting my head in my hands, my head thumping, dizziness setting in.
"Please, Wade. Not now please. Pen will be back soon with some medication, just give me half hour."
I meekly request and Reaper comes up to me placing his head on my lap.
"What medication? what's wrong ?"
I look up at Wade.
"Jesus, Princess, your so pale !"
Wade turns from me, fishing his phone out of his jacket. Why is he being so nice all of a sudden.
"Penny, where the f**k are you ? Hurry up !"
He hangs up the phone and throws it on the chair. Making his way over to sit by me.
"Wade, its fine, I've..."
I jump up making a run for the toilet to throw up, clumsily with my heels. On the plus side the headache will either clear up or cause havoc for a good few days.
"Ava! Ava!"
The bathroom door swings open, with me kneeling on the floor. Reaper gets inbetween us and growls at Wade.
I turn and sit on the cold tiled floor, wiping my mouth with tissue, then gesturing for Reaper. How embaressing, especially our first night together.
"It's fine, it's just a headache, hopefully it'll clear up now."
"Do I need to ring my mum?"
Diane being a very well established Doctor with her own practice, would obviously be Wade's first go to.
I can hear the clicking of heels running down the hall to us, Nates feet clearly not far behind.
"What have you done to her ? I knew this was a bad idea!"
Nate looks ready to explode. I stand like Bambi on ice. Flushing the toilet.
"Nate, enough, it was just one of my headaches. I haven't taken my tablets that's all."
I try to keep the peace.
"She has bad blood pressure and I've bet you've been a d**k to her the whole time, Wade. Your my best friend, why be like this to her!"
Nate's starting to lose his s**t. This is why he remained quiet for the past few days and all through dinner. He had his own reservations.
Wade swings round, ready for, what by the looks of it, isn't the first fight these pair have had.
"How am I meant to know, I haven't seen her in years. Anything else I should know ? Any pregnancies because I highly doubt she should be wearing white!"
My jaw drops, all I can do is stand there and quietly sob. One look at me and Nate has seen red and swings a punch at Wade.
Wade rubs his chin and goes to retaliate but not before Penny can step in.
"You"
She points to my brother, go wait in the car.
"and you ! How dare you ! Don't you ever speak about a woman that way, let alone talk about Ava, Your wife that way."
Penny snaps at him, shoving a prescription bag into his chest.
"Be a good husband and get her a bottle of water and give her one each of these."
Wade leaves to go to the kitchen and Penny puts her arm around me and guides me through a door, where a beautiful mahogony staircase is hidden. She leads me up the stairs and shows me the master bedroom. Now to be my bedroom.
"Thanks Pen."
"I'm sorry about him Av's, about both of the cavemen. Try and rest, Wade won't be long with your meds."
"Okay, love you."
I express my gratitude.
"Love ya too girly."
Penny says handing me a chewing gum as she leaves. I hear brief one-sided yelling downstairs then silence. Finally.
I stand realising I still have my wedding gown on and try to unclasp the dress.
"Here, let me help."
Wade says as he walks in
"Forget it."
I tell him as I rip the clasp apart.
"Ava, dont"
Wade says with all the care in the world like he didn't just question my character.
"No. No,no,no. After all you said down there, Wade. No ! Actually while your at it why don't you tell me how you really feel."
I dry my undereyes and shimmy my dress to my feet and I'm stood before him, in a white fishboned corset, matching French knickers with a suspender belt to hold up my stockings. I step out of the dress and kick off shoes, my height drastically dropping to 5ft3.
"Ava, I..."
Wades hand rakes through his hair as his eyes roam me body, still side eyeing the mirror on the dresser, I fiddle with the pins holding in my veil and I shake the rest of my hair loose. my blonde curls cascading down the majority of my back.
"Too little, too late Wade."
I tell him as I turn to face him, purposefully letting him get a good look at my petit body... Then to add insult to injury.
"And for your information, there's a reason I was in white, I'm still a virgin, you prick!"
I yell as I walk over to him and snatch my meds and water and walk away, into the ensuit.
I hear Wade mutter about being an i***t as he walks away. Then I hear the front door slam shut.
