Rags 2 Pitches: A Secret Baby Sports Romance (25 page)

Chase

“Shit, man. The bride is the one who is supposed to be late. Not the damn groom.” Reg patted me on the back. I was lost in my thoughts, looking out on the beach.

The sun was beating down like there was no tomorrow. It felt romantic getting married on the beach of Ocho Rios, in Jamaica. Dad and Grace - that was Mary’s real name - were watching from inside. It made me realize that it wasn’t such a good idea after all.

I wanted today to be romantic.

Kayla deserved everything.

“Reg, they’re all sweating.”

He laughed. “Just like sinners in church. I thought they had the outside air conditioners going?”

I had visions of Kayla seeing them and thinking that this was some kind of omen or something. Today had to be perfect.

Reg looked good in his white suit and the dark tan that he had picked up in the last few days of being here before the wedding with Lisa.

“Chase, that isn’t a problem. Everyone’s just happy to be here. Everyone just wants to see you get married. Stop worrying and get out there. Your bride awaits.” I nodded as I walked out with my little cousin, who was taking out the ring on a pillow.

Dad was giving Kayla away. As soon as the violinist started playing ‘Thinking Out Loud’ by Ed Sheeran, I knew that it was time for her to walk up the aisle. The groom is not supposed to look back, but I had that nagging feeling inside of me.

The one that made me think, Kayla would look at the crowd, see them sweating, and all her insecurities would come back again.

I couldn’t let that happen.

I looked back and decided to jog lightly down the aisle.

I wanted her to know that this would be it. Everything would be perfect from now on. I got to her and moved her veil. She gasped, “Have you changed your mind?”

I kissed her and said, “This is the last time I will kiss you as ‘Sadie Nelson’. The next time, you will be Kayla Logan.”

She smiled for a minute, and I was going to do it again, but Dad pushed me back and said, “Son, get back there and get married.”

I smiled like a little boy in a candy store. The violinist stopped, and everyone was confused by what I had just done.

I reassured them and said, “Let the violinist play. Let the wedding begin. Today, I’m going to get myself a bride.”

Reg screamed out, “Hell yeah!” I laughed as I hugged him. I had a strong suspicion that he would be following in my footsteps real soon as he winked at Lisa in the crowd.

I smiled at my beautiful daughter as she walked in front of her mom, wondering when the next one would come along. One thing for sure. I wanted Kayla to have loads of babies. I wanted us to have a large family and for everything to be perfect.

She was to me.

I wanted to be that to her.

Perfect.
