Chapter Thirty Three

Victoria's POV

"Thanks again mum," I clipped on my second earring.

"Will you just stop thanking me? If I don't do this who will?" Mum helped me with my zip causing me to instinctively stand up straighter.

I used my perfume and gave myself a once over in the mirror.

"How do I look?"I turned around to face my mum and she nodded in approval.

"Beautiful. Now go have fun." I felt her push at my mid back.

Is she pushing me out of the house?

"Are you pushing me out of the house?" I voiced my thoughts.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Andrew!" She yelled.

"I'm here," Andrew announced his presence as he stepped back into the house. "Damn," his eyes remained on me and I knew he was checking me out.

"What is it?" I chuckled shyly.

"You look beautiful." He complemented.

"I haven't even done my make up yet." I chuckled, again. I picked up the small bag that had my shoe and purse in it but Andrew quickly took it from my hold.

"You look beautiful either way." He said with a small smile on his lips.

I felt myself blush and I looked away.

"Aww, you guys are so cute." Mum cooed.

"Mum!" I whined.

"What? It's the truth." Mum defended herself.

Andrew just laughed as he placed his hand on my mid back as we both walked out of the house.

"Make sure you guys have fun!" Mum said as Andrew opened his car door for me.

"We will, thank you!" Andrew called back.

I settled myself in the seat and Andrew gave me the small bag then closed the door for me.

As he got into the car I was clicking in my seat belt.

"We're kind of running late." Andrew said as he started the car then dropped his phone into the cup holder situated in the middle of both of us

"You are. I'm very sure if I were really running late, Maya would be blasting me phone right now." I said with a small chuckle.

Andrew laughed. "True to that."

After Funke, Adrian and I's talk the other day, during Maya's bachelorette the girls also talked "some sense" into my head and I'm just waiting for the right time to talk to Andrew.

We're definitely giving this a try again but there are some things that need to be said, some "ground rules" to be put in place.

For one, I want things to go as slow as they can. No rush anymore.

Andrew dropped me at Maya's place and drove off to join them at the venue.

Maya chose to do the wedding outdoor and the view of the place is just amazing.

Like I told Andrew earlier, I wasn't running late. Well if I had gotten there ten minutes later than I did, then it would have been counted as running late to Maya.

The make up artist did my make up and we took a lot of pictures which I must say was the beginning of my exhaustion for the day.

After ten thousand pictures we were finally on our way to the venue.

Maya's dress is also stunning and she just looks absolutely beautiful. Everyone was looking really beautiful and I'm pretty sure all the guys would have their eyes glued to us.

Despite the fact that the wedding was kind of in a rush, everything was going smoothly and it all looked well planned out.

As us bridesmaids marched in first, the first person my eyes landed on was Andrew and the only thought I had in my mind was that he was too good looking and that tuxedo was doing him wonders.

I am lucky to have him in my life honestly.

Andrew's POV

She manages to take my breath away every single time.

When I saw her earlier in the house I didn't even care that her mum was there the first words that left my mouth was "damn."

She is stunning especially in that dress. I know I said she doesn't need the make up to look beautiful and I mean it really but with her on make up now it just is the icing on the cake.

All of them were looking stunning, from the bride to every single bridesmaid.

The venue the couple chose was really beautiful. The view and everything.

As the pastor gave a short talk to the couple I couldn't help myself from looking at Victoria only to find her staring at me.

Her eyes widened and she quickly looked away and I am positive that she was blushing. I smirked, knowing the effect that I still had on her.

I didn't take my eyes off of her and a few seconds after she looked at me again and this time she didn't look away.

She looked at me and her lips tilted with small smile. I smiled back just as I felt a nudge on my arm.

I broke eye contact and realized that they were asking for the rings. Almost everyone had their eyes on me.

Fuck shit.

I gave them the rings and went back to staring at Victoria as the couple said their vows.

"Guy focus," I heard Adrian whisper and I shook my thoughts about Victoria away. I need to focus. James wouldn't like it if I wasn't paying attention as he tied himself to someone for the rest of his life.

I heard the rest of his vows and Maya's vows and when they were both declared husband and wife I joined the crowd to clap with a huge smile on my face.

I just couldn't stop stealing glances at Victoria as the couple went to sign the marriage register.

"You're whipped man." Adrian whispered to me.

"I know," I admitted. "But man I can't help it. They all look too beautiful to resist."

"I know man," he said dreamily with his eyes fixed on Funke.

"Now who's whipped?" I said and Adrian laughed.

The dress they were all wearing was too sinful, how can anyone take their eyes off of them?

On the way to the reception. Funke, Adrian Victoria and I got into one Range Rover and the others got into the other cars.

Victoria was to my right, Funke beside her and Adrian at the passengers seat. Funke and Adrian were talking about something I wasn't interested in.

All on my mind was the woman beside me. I slowly took her hand in mine and I noticed she sucked in a breath at our skin contact.

I slowly leaned in. "Have I told you you look absolutely stunning today?" My mouth was directly above her ears and I'm very sure the breath that fanned her ear and neck had an effect on her because she unconsciously pressed her legs together and lightly squeezed my hand.

She cleared her throat. "You didn't exactly use the word 'stunning.'" She now turned her face to me causing our lips to be inches away from each other.

I didn't move and neither did she. I looked into her eyes and I just wanted to drown in them. She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. So mesmerizing. She could look at you and have you fall to your knees without her saying a word.

My eyes flickered to her lips that was coated in God knows how many layers of lipstick but I didn't care, I still wanted to kiss them.

My gaze flickered back up to her eyes to find them looking at my lips too. She looked up and our eyes locked again.

"That tuxedo is doing you wonders." She broke the silence.

The corner of my lips tilted up slightly and I licked my lips earning a nervous gulp from her.

God I just want to kiss her.

"Hey love birds, we're here." Funke said causing Victoria to flinch and create a distance between us.

I got down from the car and opened the door for her. I stretched a hand forward and she placed hers in mine as she got down from the car.

Apparently, we were the last group to get there so they were waiting for us.

"Alright, let's do this" James joyfully clapped his hands just as we heard the cue of the music.

I looked at Victoria who was now by my side, just as it was arranged a few days ago.

Let's do this.
