This song is sent to me by one of my readers, she translated these words for me from a song that is from another language and it's beautiful...
Every time she hears this song, she is reminded of these two so...thank you Mouse for this :)
Gabby pulls away from the kiss as she touches Ricardo's cheek and smiles dreamily before her finger grazes his lower lip.
"This is not a dream, is it?" she whispers ask scared it will go away if she shouted out loud.
"Then let's keep dreaming" he replies as he holds her hand before pulling her down on the ground.
Gabby frowns as she steps on the ground before he wraps his arms around her waist and puts her hand of his chest.
"Our first dance, after this you will never have to look around in seek of anyone to dance with. You will legally have me by your side to always dance in our own tune" he grins as another hand holds the back of her head, their head rests side by side before she hears the words from his mouth.
"I will tell you all my heart desires if only you are ready to listen...
If you promise to be mine for forever and always...
If you promise to wipe my tears away thinking I am yours when times are hard...
I will tell you all my heart desires...
It's easier for me to smile and laugh with you, thinking of our future together helps me to survive
I will give all my happiness to you if you promise to be mine
If you will willingly touch these eyes thinking I am yours, if you will wipe my tears when times are hard
I will tell you all my heart desires if you are ready to listen..."
Gabby holds onto Ricardo as he sings those words to her and she feels fortunate to have someone as if in her life first as her friend and now as a partner.
"Thank you" Gabby whisper too choked up with emotions as she has no clue what more she can say to him.
"You will always be welcomed" he smiles wiping her tears away before kissing both of her eyelids.
The sounds of car coming startles Gabby as she turns around at once, to find two cars moving her way and stop beside Ricardo's car.
*******
"Step away from her" Damon warns Ricardo as soon as he walks out of the car and Gabby watches Gage walking out of the same car before she eyes Nicholson's car as he walks out as well.
"It's midnight, time for Cindrella to vanish away from the palace" Damon adds as he eyes the way they were standing.
"What's going on?" Gabby asks to her brothers before she stares at Ricardo whose hold on her tightens at once before slowly pulling away.
"He can no longer be here" Nicholson replies.
"You did not tell her, did you?" Gage asks as he watches his sister confused filled eyes.
"Tell me what?" Gabby voices.
"It's his last day here Gabs, he is not allowed to be seen after midnight" Gage states before he rubs his temple.
"He was supposed to follow me to mom's and then I was supposed to escort him out of the border, but before you two missed dinner at mom's" he grumbles.
"When did you say anything about that?" Gabby asks her brother, incredulously.
"When I said I texted mom asking for dinner?" Gage replies as if that was explanation enough.
"Unbelievable" Gabby mutters shaking her head.
"Hey, mom..."
"Shut up Gage" Gabby sighs before she turns to pick up the papers she signed.
"No need for him to..." Gabby goes to start but get interrupted by Nicholson.
"I gave you enough time Russo, not just for the sake of our friendship but respecting your feelings regarding Gabby yet this is how it has come to an end...
It will be better if you step away from her and walk to your borderline before we must take matters in our hands"
"But we..."
"Yo" someone shouts interrupting Gabby once again and they turn to watch behind Ricardo as the lights of the car blazes and they can easily find three of his brothers standing there.
*******
"I was waiting for the dance to end" Rustic grins as he waves his hands.
"Dance?" Damon frowns.
"I see you have come prepared" Nicholson frowns.
"You are not the only with protective brothers" Ricardo grins.
"Exhausted, irritated and hungry brothers will be much suited" Richard grumbles irritated.
"Gabby, here" Damon asks her, but she just groans.
"Let me talk"
"We know it's hard for you to take this all in, trust me we all have been..."
"Do shut up, you assholes, Ricardo does not have to go anywhere" she shuts him.
"Don't tell me you will open your arms and stand in between him and us, crying out loud that we will have to go through you to get him" Damon sighs as he steps towards the girl.
"I don't have to because I am going with him" Gabby announces.
"The fuck you are not" Damon shouts at her.
"Don't raise your voice at her" Ricardo warns Damon.
"And you don't raise our sister against us" Gage warns Ricardo.
"And all of you stop stopping me" Gabby shouts at once.
"The only reason I have not thrown him away is because of you, Gabby so do not doubt that..."
"I am married" she finally shouts out loud.
"It's okay we all get married that does not mean that...wait...what?" Damon stops, thinks and reacts.
*******
"I don't love drama, it loves me" Gabby mumbles as she walks towards Nicholson and pushes the papers in his chest which he lets slide.
"You made her sign it" Nicholson narrows his eyes at Ricardo.
"Eyes down here, Cole. He did not I am more than happy to and just as Damon said one day, we all have to marry, and this is my day" she grins as she bends to pick up the paper and Damon takes it in hurry.
"A co...married? What the...you?" Damon reads the paper in hurry before he looks from Gabby to Ricardo in disbelief.
"You got married?" Gage gapes at his sister.
"Just now" she nods her head while all three of the men just gape at her.
"Unbelievable" Gage throws his hands up in air as he pulls out his phone to call his mother.
"Funfuckingtastic" Damon sighs holding the papers.
"So now Rare does not have to be a Cinderella and go poof, he is family and no longer just a treaty" she smiles.
"No, no, nope, even if you got married young lady these papers, have you read them?" Damon asks.
"I trust Rare" she voices out.
"But these will be checked thoroughly before you two are announced married" he warns as he walks past Gabby towards Ricardo.
*******
"You do know I won't let her walk away with you tonight no matter what these papers says or how much she screams" Damon states as he stares at Ricardo who nods his head in understanding.
"I have no intention to take her with me, tonight" Ricardo agrees.
"It's our wedding night" Gabby shouts at Ricardo.
"Go home with your brothers, they are correct. Damon needs to go through the papers even if your father signed it...
And Nicholson does have a say in all of these as right now he is the one leading the family"
"When will I see you then?" Gabby asks sad.
"I will find a way"
"But they will not let you in" she cries running towards him.
"But I can let you in" he smiles as he nods to where his brothers are.
"Then let me" she pleads as she stares in his eyes.
"I told you I am not taking you home tonight Precious"
"What if Damon burns the papers or make me sign into divorce papers or..."
"I am not that heartless, jeez what do you take me for?" Damon groans at Gabby's accusation.
"The man who can leave the woman he loves on altar is not trustworthy"
"We are married now" Damon shouts at her.
"Because you are sex-crazed" she accuses and Damon growls before he turns and walks towards his car.
"Nick drive her back" Damon orders as he gets in the car.
"I will go with them" Gage voices out unsure.
"No, you are coming with me, there are things we need to go through. And you, if I find any clause in here that is in any way brings harm to my family..." Damon leaves it at that as he eyes Gabby before signing.
"I will not separate you Gabs, so relax. It's just, you two cannot just...go back home with Nick okay" he requests.
"She will" Ricardo speaks for her and before she can protest, he covers her mouth.
"I give you my word, tonight she won't go with me" with that Damon leaves them.
*******
"Why are you making me leave?" Gabby asks as soon as Damon drives away.
"Listen to me just this once"
"I always listen to you"
"Good" he smiles before eyeing a silent brooding Nicholson.
"Why did you not tell me?" Nicholson questions.
"I did send you the papers" Ricardo replies.
"I thought...never mind, but this, in anyway will not affect the future will it?" he asks, and Ricardo turns to glance at his brothers before he replies.
"You can trust me like a brother" he gives his word.
"I have enough brothers Rick and no matter what there will always be a law between you and us. You are a brother by law not by blood...
And sometimes, laws can break while blood can only be spilled" Nicholson replies as he turns to walk towards his car.
"He looks pissed" Gabby comments staring at Nicholson's back.
"I should have gone through him to you, but I have had enough of people meddling between us"
"You two will be fine, right?" she worries knowing how much good friends they were.
"We have always been fine, no go. Don't make him wait or do not argue, you are no longer just their sister but my wife as well...
And from now on, your behavior will reflect me, okay?" he asks as he kisses both of her hands.
"I cannot be who I am not whether or not I am married to you" she narrows her eyes at him.
"Just behave is all I am asking" he sighs as he pulls a box out of his pocket and puts the ring on her finger.
"I promise there will be a better one next time" he smiles as he checks on the ring on her finger.
"Next time?" she frowns as she looks away from her ring to his face.
"You deserve better than just signing in the papers to be my wife, a wedding of your desire" he smiles making her grin.
"Wait, where is your wedding ring?" she frowns as she checks the box.
"I did not get one" he shrugs his shoulder making her narrow her eyes.
"So, you mean while the whole world knows I am married they do not know you are" she asks making him frown.
"I did not..."
"You males are so hypocrite" she accuses before grabbing his hand and without a warning biting on his finger.
"Ow" Ricardo shouts in pain before Gabby finally let's go of his finger.
"What the..." Ricardo gasps shaking his hand before he checks to find her teeth mark around his ring finger.
"Until the day I put the ring on your finger you better not let it fade and if I found it faded and you did not get new one from me...
I am pulling the divorce paper card on you" she warns before turning to walk away but he grabs her wrist pulling her back to him as his lips crashes on hers.
"Tomorrow morning, I will wait for you here" he promises making her smile as she caresses his cheek and stares at him for as long as she could before they step away.
"Brave of you to give away your wedding night" she teases as she walks back staring at him while he does the same.
"I will give it away again if it means get to have all of yours come tomorrow" he grins before they both halts.
"Tell me, that when I wake up tomorrow this will not be a dream" she asks him unsure.
"Then I will stay awake all night, so this dream never breaks" he assures her.
"I love you" she whispers.
"From the very first moment" he smiles watching her get in the car and driving away.
"Jeez, if only people know the level of cheesiness you show when she is with you" Ryman groans making Ricardo smile before he turns to his brothers.
"Good thing it's just you three then" Ricardo smiles at them.
*******
Gabby fidgets on her seat as Nicholson refuses to talk or even acknowledge her, she finally gives up and turns to stare at his side.
"I know, you feel betrayed by Ricardo after all these years being together but sadly, he is straight" she sighs, and Nicholson glances her way with a brow raised.
"That was supposed to be funny" she points when he does not speak.
"I hope you died of laughter then" he comments after a while making her smile.
"You are okay with us, right?" she asks unsure as she touches his arm.
"It's not about being okay Gabs"
"Then?"
"He could have done it differently"
"But then it would be unlike him" she smiles knowing Nicholson was okay with the news.
"He loves you, no one has doubt but sometimes there are situations where love will never be enough"
"Says a man who has never been in love" Gabby teases while Nicholson stays silent.
"Can I go to your place?" she requests and seeing his frown she adds.
"Rare promised to see me tomorrow and your place is closer to the border" she states making him gulp.
"Uh...about that, there is something you need to know" he starts.
*******
"Nicholson Cole Price, you are in a living relation with a girl?" Gabby shrieks making Nicholson wince a bit.
"You have been having one-night stands with the same girl for weeks and now you are telling us?" she shouts again as he does not reply fast enough.
"Oh my God, I am having a panic attack" Gabby gasps for air.
"Don't be dramatic" Nicholson groans as he stares out of the window.
"Dramatic? All my life, all my very this living life I have never heard a single name that belongs to a girl from your mouth and now you are telling me there is a girl that stays with you?" she gapes at him.
"Things happened" he clears his throat not very comfortable on the topic.
"Did you get her pregnant?" Gabby asks holding his arm.
"Of course, not" Nicholson snaps feeling offended.
"Thank God, don't you dare get a kid before me, I will always have to have an upper hand when it comes to you" she warns before she too sighs and stares out of the window.
"Do you like her?" she finally asks turning to face him.
"She stays with me, so"
"No, do you like her, like her"
"What kind of question is that?" he frowns.
"Just answer it, do you?"
"Maybe"
"Nick"
"Yes, she just makes me crazy" he smiles taking a deep breath.
"Do you want me to meet her?" she asks.
"To be honest?" he asks, and she nods her head.
"I want to keep her to myself for now" he confesses and Gabby nods her head in reply.
"I understand"
"You do?" he raises a brow in surprise.
"To be honest?" she asks him, and he nods his head.
"I don't want to share Rare with anyone, even the news of us being married, so yes I do understand sometimes it's the idea of someone just being ours is enough" she smiles making his nod.
"Thanks" Nicholson smiles before Gabby touches his hand and squeezes it.
"I hope this works for you because falling is not the best part but when you fall and look beside you, seeing someone next is" Gabby states before asking him to drop her back at her father's place.
