Chapter 64: indigo

I look at my reflection in the mirror and think back to this time last year when i hated grey and back to now when I love him more than life itself. I'm wearing a white satin dress that folds at the neck and has thin straps down the back, it clings to my figure as I arrange the veil on my updo. My pearl necklace hangs around my neck and I stare at the engagement ring on my finger.

Holy fuck.

"You look gorgeous" Bea compliments me as she walks into my bridal suite and snaps a picture of us together. She's wearing a gold satin bridesmaid dress exactly the same as Amelia and Sophie.

Soph totters in after and tugs at my dress, signaling to be picked up. I adhere to her request and she rolls my pearls between her fingers looking deep in thought. I roll my eyes.

"Before I drop you can you tell me what the issue is?" I ask and she looks up to me with tears in her eyes and shakes her head in defiance.

"Ok" I say and shrug.

"WAIT!" she all but screams in my ear and I flinch away from her.

"My god soap" I snap at her and she grins at me. Why so bipolar?

"Will you leave me now?" She asks quietly and I look at her weirdly.

"I don't understand" I say and she huffs.

"I will drop you, you little shit" I tell her and she clings on to me tighter.

"I mean will I not see you now because you and uncle grey are getting married?" She tilts her head and I smile at how ridiculous she's being.

"Of course not you idiot, god knows I'll need a break from grey every so often. I promise to let you babysit him when I need him to leave me alone" I explain to her and she smiles as I wipe away a few escaped tears from her cheek.

"I love you soap" I say and she rests her head on my chest and after a beat of silence speaks.

"I love you too aunty indigo"

"Ok moments over, don't call me that shit it makes me feel old" I tell her and shudder in discomfort at the word 'aunty' she giggles as I set her on the floor and she runs to mav who just walked in.

"Hey there princess" he says with a warm smile that gets wiped of his face when he looks at me I scoff as he glares in my direction.

"You look like shit" I say to him and Bea gasps and pats Mavs cheek.

"It might not be his finest hour but don't tease indigo" she tells me sternly and I laugh at how mav looks to her in betrayal.

"You weren't complaining this morning" he says with a smirk and I gag as Bea blushes furiously.

"Oh god" Amelia says "we have to leave like now!" She exclaims in panic and ushers us all out the door of the room in the church.

Flowers decorate the short hallway where at the end my dad waits to walk me down the isle. I swear I see him wiping a tear away as I approach him but I don't mention it as I link my arm with his and he smiles down to me.

"in che bella giovane donna sei cresciuta" (what a beautiful young woman you've grown in to) he says and the doors open as a soft melody echoes through the spacious brick walls. As I walk down the isle and pray to god that I don't fall I wonder where our flower girl is. It's one of my younger cousins but I can't see her anywhere.

I reach grey and he turns around with icy eyes that soften when I smile at him softly.

"Hi"I whisper to him and he smirks at me.

"Hi"

"Take care of her" my dad says as he places my hand in greys and steps to the front pew where my mother and the rest of mine and greys family are including Emilio who against greys wishes is also attending with his new girlfriend Nova.

I look to Matt and Elliot who look very smart in their suits as greys best men and wander where on earth Oakley is.

Just as I step in front of grey the doors to the church open once again and I look at the person with immense distaste as a whole new world from Aladdin booms through the church making everyone swivel around in their seats and look to the unplanned intruder with a Fanny pack attached to his suit.

"For fucks sake" grey mutters next to me and I nod in agreement.

Oakley unzips the pouch and takes out a handful of rose petals. He twirls and delicately throws them into the crowd prancing down the isle and winking at soph and Amelia when he passes them at the front.

He stops and blows some petals into greys face who looks incredibly unamused about the whole thing.

"Love you guys" Oakley says as the music stops and people clap at Oakleys little show. He goes and stands next to Matteo who fist bumps him as Elliot looks at the two of them and massages his temples.

The vicar begins to blab on about to love and to hold in sickness and in health but I can't focus on him, the only thing I can focus on is the man In front of me and his swirling grey irises that reassure me I'm more loved than I thought I ever would be.

"You may say your vows" grey and I decided we'd say our own little speech things at the ceremony. Bad idea because I'm suddenly very aware of everyone that's in the room and how they'll hear everything I say.

"It's alright baby" grey says in a hushed tone so no one can hear him "take a deep breath, it's just me. You're telling me" I nod and puff out my flaming red cheeks.

"When I met you I didn't like you at all" I begin and a quiet laughter runs throughout the room at the first line in my wedding speech.

"I thought you were arrogant, rude and had an ego far to big for your own good....I was right about all of those things but I couldn't be more in love with the asshole I just described, you showed me love when I thought I'd never have it and you cared for me when I needed it the most. You protect me and love me in a way that makes me fall for you all over again. Every single day. Every single time. You may not be the most easiest person to like but you're the best person to love so now that I'm marrying you and I'm finally truly happy for the first time in my life I want to say Thank you. For saving me in every way I needed and For loving me In Every way I dreamed. I love you Greyson king and I'll love you until the day I die and every life after" I finish and a tear runs down my cheek. He wipes it away and chuckles at my blush.

"I'm not sure I can tell you how much you mean to me blue. I've spent the past few days trying to figure out what I'm going to say now, in fact I had everything planned out but the moment you walked down the isle it all went from my head. It took me this long to realize that the love I have for you is indescribable, incomparable and infinite. I've never been much of a romantic but I adore you indigo. I'll follow you anywhere, I'll come anytime time you call, I'll be there every time you need me. You're the reason I believe that my life is worth living sweetheart, the reason I laugh and smile, the highlight of my day and the only girl I've ever loved, it's only you indigo and it'll always be only you" the tears run freely down my face as greys speech comes to an end and he throws me a easy smile and winks at me. This man.

"Do you Greyson Benjamin King take Indigo Gianna Knightly to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, for better or worse, for poorer or for richer" grey scoffs at the last part and prod his side.

"I do" he says and stares me straight in the eyes.

"And do you Indigo Gianna Knightly take Greyson Benjamin King to be your lawfully wedded husband to and to hold, in sickness and health, for better or for worse, for poorer or for richer"

"I do" my voice wavers slightly with emotion and grey brushes a piece of hair from my face.

"I here by pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" greys lips gently come down to mine and he kisses me slowly, with passion and love. When we pull away cheers erupt throughout the room and look at each other and smile.

"Ready?" Grey asks and holds out his hand

"Ready" I nod and put my hand in his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Congratulations you two I'm so happy for the both of you!" My aunt Lilly all but shouts to us as I lean on grey on grey for moral support.

2 hours we've been at the reception and I actually want to kill myself. I don't know how I'm supposed to do this for another 3 hours at least.

A glass clinks and I hear oaks announce that he will now be making his speech as best man. Grey and I go to sit at the long table at the front and wait nervously as Oakley makes his way on to the small platform and begins to speak.

"Now I know what you're all thinking. 'Oakley why aren't you the one getting married because you're so drop dead gorgeous' calm down ladies I'm taken but anyway. We're not here to celebrate my good looks, that obviously don't run in the family" he begins grimacing at Matteo who stops half way through a mouthful of cake and glares back at our older brother.

"Or my killer humor or maybe even my amazing body-"

"Daddy it's not about you!" Soph shouts from the audience and grey snorts as laughter runs around the room loudly.

"Anyway....I never thought these two would like each other let alone fall in love with each other so Id like to tell you all that change is possible. Darren I'm talking to you buddy, you can still drop those many pounds you've put on since Nancy left you" If you can't tell, oaks has had a few drinks.

""I love you guys and you deserve this....you really do" he finishes and steps off the platform. Grey and I sigh in relief as he didn't do anything to bad.

We get up as 18 by one direction plays over the speakers, it's slowed and it fits perfectly since we were both 18 when we fell in love with each other. Grey spins me in his arms as we get to the dance floor and our family and guests look at us with adoration.

I couldn't care less though, all I can think about is grey and how much I love him as he holds me to his chest and sways with me. Placing kisses to my head and cheeks and finally my lips.

"I loved you long before we were 18" he whispers in my ear and a traitor tear slips down my cheek, I stop dancing and just hug him.

"I love you so much grey"

"I love you more"

We stay like that swaying slightly just holding each other. I'd stay in his arms forever. I feel safe and happy with him and I will for the rest for the rest of my life.

He rests his forehead against mine and I close my eyes.

My grey.
