Mount Olympus [7]

Jace

I smile and blink a few times, heat rushing to my eyes. No. I will not cry like a baby here. That's Nic's job. Squeezing her hand, I slip the ring around her finger and watch her she does the same to me.

Rayah

I smile back, biting my lip as the preacher goes on.

Jace

"With the power invested in me by the Gods of Olympus, I now pronounce you man and wife," the preacher concludes. "You may kiss the bride."

I don't hesitate, pulling her into a kiss and closing my eyes as everyone around us breaks into applause.

Rayah

I kiss him back, closing my eyes and wrapping my arms around his neck as Jackie smiles at us, clapping.

Jace

I wrap my arms around her waist and hesitate before pulling back, knowing this isn't the place to make a scene.

Rayah

I smile, resting my forehead against his as the limo drives up to take us to our honeymoon.

Jace

I smile back and kiss her quickly once more before leading her to the limo. Nic opens the door for us, smiling in a way I didn't think was possible for him a few hours ago.

Rayah

I wave at Jackie and go in the car first, thanking Nic. Finding champagne, I smile wider and wait for Jace.

Jace

"You know... if I were you, you'd of kicked my--"

"Shut up, Nic," I smile, shaking my head.

I get in the car and thank him as he closes the door, looking at Rayah.

Rayah

I smile and blush, looking down when he looks at me as the car starts moving.

Jace

I smile back at her and move closer, not fully believing that we're married just yet.

Rayah

I smile and glance up at him, biting my lip.

Jace

I take her hand and kiss her cheek, "What's the matter? Why are you so shy?"

Rayah

I smile wider, "No reason. I'm just still shocked. I'm just...really exited and stuff."

Jace

I match her smile and nod, "Me too."
