On getting there, They all had a smile on their faces as I walked up to them." Sir, since the bride is here shall we commence with marriage?" Miles asked the man I presume to be a priest or a lawyer." Of course, please let the bride and groom come forward." He announced and Cole rolled his wheelchair towards him while I walked next to him.He went ahead and did the norm for a union and asked us to say our vows.Cole held my hand as he gazed into my eyes. " First of all, I want to start by telling you how gorgeous you look in your dress, and use this opportunity to thank you for being a part of my life. I met you when I had given up on everything and your presence not only brought love into my life again but it brought a light in this dark heart of mine, my love. And with every single breath I take my love for you continues to blossom and my heart grows even funder of you, I promise to always stand by you till my last breath." " Cole, you don't realize how much bumping into you at t
A week later, I got a call from Miles that Cole was finally awake. My heart leaped in excitement on hearing such wonderful news.I left everything I was doing and took off to the hospital, and while I ran through the halls it felt like I wasn't speeding up enough, that I needed to fly if possible teleport to his room. I just couldn't wait to see him, to hear his beautiful voice again.But when I opened the door, I was met with a sad face, Miles seemed not quite excited as I speculated he would be, rather he was glum and his eyes appeared red as if he had been crying." Gabby! Hey, you. You are here." He forced a smile as he walked up to me and gave me a quick hug. I didn't think anything could be wrong on such a joyous day so I never cared to ask." He has been asking for you ever since he opened his eyes," Miles muttered. " Really?" " Yeah, why don't you go ahead and see him? I will wait outside." he left the room immediately before I could say a word.I hurriedly made my way to C
" Please have a seat." The doctor gestured with his hand before proceeding across the table and settling right in front of us." Doctor, please can you explain to us what is going on here? What happened to my friend?" Miles broke the silence immediately. The doctor took a deep sigh and picked up a chat from his desk and ran his eyes through it before raising his head to look at us again." I am sorry to say but Mr. Cole has had a brain tumor for a while now." " What! How long is a while doctor?" Miles asked while I just sat there frozen in time as I was trying so hard to process everything going on around me." It's been three years already. He has been managing the tumor growth for thread years and has refused surgery until recently when he suddenly called me and told me that he wanted to go through with the surgery. I was beyond excited for him and offered to leave my vacation with my family midway to come to attend to him but he insisted to take his team to the finals, and after t
Gabrielle's POVImmediately the blimp showed up, everywhere became quiet and the people sitting next to me turn and looked up in my direction. The mumbling began as quickly as I was recognized by a few people around and from there, in just solid seconds the entire eyes on the arena had turned my way.I had my hand over my face as I hurriedly left for my car.I kept reprimanding my heart for feeling hurt when it knows that nothing was real. Everything was just a game, and nothing more. I don't have the right to be upset, I wanted him to choose someone else, to be with his family. He made it clear to me that he loves someone else at first and I believed his words. How on earth was I supposed to know that I was the one he loves? How could he do this to me? Perhaps he still wants to play games with his ex-wife? He didn't leave me with any choice.I was mumbling to myself as I walked down the parking lot.Just as I was about to open the door of my car, someone held my hand I knew he was
Gabrielle's POVI was busy enjoying my beautiful and quiet slumber when my phone beeped continuously. I got up and saw it was a foreign number, a call from my bestie Michelle, quickly I slide my thumb across the screen. " Hey, Gabby! Are you dressed up yet? " Michele asked without hesitation.Oh yeah! I forgot today is the game. But it wouldn't hurt to pull Michelle's legs just a little bit." Dressed up for what exactly? Where am I going?" Did I ask bluntly? " Are you fucking kidding me!" She screamed almost deafening my eardrums. Girl do I have to come over there and whoop your ass myself?" I could sense the fury in her voice. I burst into laughter immediately, I couldn't hold back the pretense anymore.I hear her heave a sigh of relief. " Please never do that again!" " I'm sorry Mich, I'm so sorry. " I said trying to control myself." So tell me, are you getting ready for the game?" She asked calmly." Yeah, I am of course. But I'm just waking up and the game won't start until
"Hello! Are you still with me Gab? I heard Michelle's voice in my head and I snapped back to reality. Will you stop thinking and tell me already?" She nagged." Well, he gave me a special invite to his team's finals this Friday."" Oooh! I see a proposal on the way." She quipped." You are crazy, stop talking nonsense. Nothing like that will happen, we are just good friends that's all." " Uh-huh, good friends that fuck huh?"" Michelle quit teasing me or I'm going to hang up." I threatened to take the phone off my ear." Not yet, hold on! She yelled. There is something I need to tell you." Just in the nick of time, my secretary knocked on the door. " Yeah, come in," I announced and she proceeded into my office carrying a big box in her hands." A message for you ma'am." She placed it on my table and continued out." Hey, Mich. A box just came in for me can we talk later?" I asked her while analyzing the big box in front of me. " Listen Gab, I can't see you later. I must tell you now
