Tough Love

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

ISABELLE

Ashton groaned loudly as he pushed his lips to mine, trying to muffle the sounds as he blew.

Yes we had morning sex on our wedding day.. oops!

His mum coming in and threatening to back hand him one was hilarious; she didn't look too impressed and was standing there waiting for him to get up out of the bed. The moment Ash had told her that he was naked and wasn't showing off his godly gift for her to look at was even better when she replied Not like I haven't seen it before, but then again it was tiny.

So now we were faced with a new dilemma.

Ashton didn't want to leave me to get ready and his phone was dinging every few minutes from Parker who was obviously in a wild state of panic.

Where the hell are you?

Did you take a dancer home?

Please tell me you didn't take a dancer home!

Seriously Ashton, you better not be banging the dancer!

"You need to leave babe" I ran my hands through his now shorter haircut which I gave him a week ago and smiled up at him lovingly.

"I don't want to leave" He was sounding exactly like I was yesterday afternoon; I definitely didn't want to leave him for the night, I knew what Parker had planned.

"Babe your mum is going to come in and growl us both again, I already told her you left" I whispered quietly as he still gave me the puppy dog eyes until his face broke out into a wide grin.

He buried his face into the crook of my neck and quietly tried to laugh "Belle, do you know how hard that bed just rocked, they know I'm still in here." I was mortified. He was still inside me, and I could feel everything beginning to leak out.

I frowned moving as his breath tickled me "Ash they don't, now get up, and by the way you didn't rock that much. I was the one moving." I winked as I push him off my body before his mum came back in here and took him over her knee. "We have all night and trust me I won't be wanting to sleep."

"Didn't rock that much, are you calling me a bad lay?" He scoffed pulling his boxers on and giving himself a scratch, God this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.

"Well, the man I'm marrying today can give me better, so you better get out before he finds out about you" I shrugged and lifted my arms up out to him so he could help me off the bed.

"Whatever beautiful, I might not show up" He winked and gave me a kiss before he walked towards the window and opened it.

"You're not going to leave through the door?" I asked mortified.

He grinned "Fuck no."

Oh, this man was going to get it later tonight.

I pulled on a pair of sweats and a long-sleeved shirt and made my way towards the kitchen where Ash's mum, my mum and Rachel was looking at me. Ok now all I had to do was at like I hadn't made love to Ashton before we exchanged our vows.

"Has he gone yet?" Rachel smirked.

"Yep" I grinned, "Ages ago" I sunk down beside her as she bit into her apple.

"So, when did you turn into such a whore, I like it?" she winked.

I let out a laugh "Ash and I are just being us. It feels like how things were at the very beginning; things have gotten better and it's like we're first dating again".

"Well sex on your wedding morning is sending you both to hell, just keep them shut and try not to hump each other at the reception, wait until you're on your honeymoon" She nudged me.

"Rachel" Mum scolded her, and I burst out laughing.

I stood up, heading into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I pulled my hair back and let out a shriek "I'm going to kick his ass!" He had left me a love bite just above my collarbone. Damn him but thank god for makeup.

"So, are you nervous?" Mum asked walking over to me as I was curling my hair. I was doing my own hair and makeup; I guess it was a given.

I shook my head laughing at her "Mum seriously, I just want to marry him already, is it time to get ready?" I asked, I was calmer than I thought I would have been today, Ash had been waiting for my crazy bride moment, but it hadn't come yet.

"Isabelle finish your hair and then you can get dressed" Rach's voice entered the room and flashed me a toothy smile.

She was dressed and ready, I had organised her first and she was perfect in a black strapless knee length dress, I didn't want anything to flashy, Ash and I were having a simple wedding. ]

A wedding that was completely us. I couldn't wait to see him.

My hair was done, and I had just finished my make up when the phone rang, looking at the number and it was blocked. Sighing I answered it "Hello?" I spoke and once again I was filled with silence, this had been happening all week and I was going to mention it to Ashton later today or tomorrow morning, I had been meaning to but kept forgetting.

I didn't want to say anything to him, but I had called Jenna and asked her if she was coming, I knew it would have meant the world to him to have her be here. But I was not so nicely told to get stuffed by her mother, I wasn't even aloud to talk to Jenna and it just made me feel even sicker about this whole situation. She didn't belong with them, I wanted to do something about it but there was nothing I could do. I wasn't her mum. Ash wasn't her dad, so there was nothing either of us could do.

I had to accept the fact we were out of her life for good. As much as it pissed me off in a way.

I hung up and tossed my phone on the bed as I walked in the bedroom, smiling wider than ever as I stared at the white dress hanging by the window, my wedding dress.

The white tulle drop waist flared sweetheart gown was perfect. My favourite part was the dazzling neckline which was embellished with diamante beads and also the back, the keyhole part showing little skin. I didn't know if I was going to wear the satin beaded belt, I would have to wait and see how my stomach looked.

It took me half an hour to fit into it, my stomach and breasts had grown even more, and I was certain if I sat down the belt was going to fly off me and fling into someone's head. I swear Ash was going to have a fit when he seen me, I in his word as he now called them had Knockers.

"You look so beautiful" I looked through the mirror and smiled at mum as she dried her eyes on the hanky.

"So do you" I turned giving her a look, she was in a deep purple dress that came just under her knee.

"Isabelle, I'm so proud of you" she started, and I rolled my eyes at her as she started on her blubbering speech of losing me. Ten minutes later and I was touching up my makeup and making my way out to the living room.

"Well, this is it" Rachel let out a squeal "It's about freaking time!"

I looked back in the mirror and rubbed my hands over my stomach "It sure is, let's go get me married."

The drive to the garden was slow, well it was ten minutes away, but it felt like a lifetime away. I was so excited to just see Ash, to marry him and just be his wife.

We pulled up and I was made to stay in the car, I could see our friends and family standing around the small lake that was covered with flowers, I think I even spotted Parker, but I looked away then, I didn't want to see what they were wearing. Even though I picked it out.

"I'm ten minutes late, I want to get married now." I grumbled pushing the door open and getting out of the car, who the hell locks a bride in on her wedding day.

Rachel came running over to me, slightly panicked "What's wrong?" I asked in a hushed whisper.

"Ashton isn't here, Parker can't find him, he went to speak to someone, and he's just gone" she blurted out and then checked her phone and laughed holding a hand to her mouth and blowing out a breath of relied. "Never mind. Sorry, he was in the bathroom fixing his hair."

Oh my god, I'd expect no less from him.
