Part 1
Chantal Lewis
made a beautiful bride. She walked down the aisle with her dad beside
her. Kymberley Taylor looked from her to the groom. Trent Malloy
was beaming from ear to ear. 'And a nervous wreck,' thought Kym.
The ceremony
was beautiful, and when the couple kissed, both Katie and Tandi Malloy
were in tears. Soon the couple began dismissing the rows.
"Trent, congratulations.
My baby!" Katie kissed and hugged her son and then Chantal.
Tandi hugged
them both and took off to find Tyler.
"Congratulations
you two," Kym hugged them both.
"Thank you for
coming, "Chantal said. She whispered, "I think Tommy's looking for
you."
Kym smiled and
headed for the doors of the church. The day was beautiful and people
began to talk among themselves. Kym looked around for her blonde-headed
boyfriend. She saw him under the big tree, his tie loose around his
neck.
"Tommy,
you looked wonderful standing next to your brother," Kym jokingly said.
"Yeah,"
Tommy answered, rather nonchalantly.
"What's
wrong Tommy? Is it a bad day or something?" a look of genuine concern
crossed Kym's face.
"Not really.
It's just, never mind. Come on," Tommy grabbed Kym's hand and led
her over to his family.
"Oh, Tommy,
you look so nice all dressed up! You and Tyler both," his mom gushed.
"Mo-om,"
Tommy said. "I guess that Trent and Chantal are riding with only
the maid-of-honor and best man. So, I'll ride with Kym, if that's
okay."
"Sure,"
Katie looked worried, but smiled.
"C'mon
Kym," Tommy tugged at her hand.
"Don't
order her around so rough, Tommy!" Katie called after them. Kym
laughed.
"I'm
sorry Kym, but it's just that...," Tommy became silent.
Kym
unlocked the doors to her car. "You driving or me?"
"You
can," Tommy answered.
They
both got in and Kym started the car. "Where to? We're leaving
before anyone else and it's really early for the reception."
"I don't know. Um… let's go to the park by the banquet hall."
Kym and Tommy rode in silence except for the radio. Kym pulled into
the park and they both got out. Tommy led the way to a bench, Kym
following.
"Now, Tommy. What is wrong? You're acting weird and it's starting
to scare me." Kym sat next to Tommy and smoothed her knee-length burgundy
skirt.
"It's just that,… well, I… I'll tell you later, don't be scared.
I'm fine, I'm just… thinking," Tommy smiled and pushed a strand of Kym's
blonde hair back from her face. "Come on!" Tommy stood and took Kym's
hand.
"What?" Kym asked. She stood and followed Tommy as he ran across
the park to the swingset. A young couple was pushing their kids.
Tommy grabbed an empty swing, he looked at Kym with a mischievous grin
on his face.
"Tom, I'm wearing a dress!" Kym laughed.
"So?" he glanced from her to the swing and back.
Reluctantly, Kym sat on the swing and Tommy began to push. When she
was soaring through the air, Tommy stopped pushing and came around to face
her. Kym laughed as the swing began to slow. "Tommy,
that was crazy. You're crazy!" Tommy stopped the swing and Kym got
off.
"I know, and that's why you love me!" Tommy was beaming as they walked
to the car together. "I guess we'd better head to the reception,"
he turned and faced her. "You look so beautiful today, thank-you
for being here with me." He gently kissed her and opened the passenger
door for her, "I'll drive."
