Suddenly a Bride: Post 102

“You may now kiss the bride,” the minister said.

Squeezing her hands, he leaned forward and kissed her. Caitlyn’s brother picked up the violin and ran the bow over the strings in a sweet melody while Caitlyn and Chris stepped down from the gazebo to greet the guests.

“That was a beautiful wedding,” Sandy said as she hugged Caitlyn.

“Thank you, Sandy. I’m glad you could be here,” Caitlyn replied.

“Yeah, I just love how you threatened to eat all the chocolate in the diner if Jack didn’t let me off for a few hours today.”

“I could eat all the chocolate he has, Sandy.” Patting her stomach, she added, “This little girl is a child after my own heart. She knows that few things are better than chocolate.”

“Chocolate is good for energy,” Chris said. “It helps the baby develop.”

Sandy laughed. “As long as the mother doesn’t gain weight, but I admit, Caitlyn, you are keeping the weight off remarkably well for all you eat.”

“Speaking of which, I’m hungry.” Caitlyn looked at Chris. “Are you ready for the reception?”

He nodded so they joined everyone and went to the restaurant further down the boardwalk where they had reserved a room for their party. While they ate, he noticed that Mark sat by Lexie.

“Caitlyn,” he whispered as she poured more chocolate syrup onto her brownie sundae until he couldn’t see the vanilla ice cream anymore, “didn’t you fix Mark up with Sandy?”

After she took a bite of the ice cream, she shrugged. “I didn’t fix them up in the traditional sense. I introduced them and decided to let nature take its course.” She dug her spoon into another portion of her sundae. “I can’t believe how good this stuff tastes. I should try chocolate syrup on hot dogs. I bet that would taste good.”

She stood up to go to the all-you-can-eat buffet to get a hot dog while Chris glanced over at Mark who leaned forward and whispered something that made Lexie giggle. Granted, he wasn’t an expert on women or relationships, but it was obvious that they were more interested in each other than they should be. He certainly wouldn’t like it if someone was that friendly with Caitlyn.

Caitlyn returned to him with a hot dog and bun and glanced around the room to make sure no one was looking before she put syrup on it. He hid his smile. If she knew how normal it was to eat everything with chocolate for women on his world when they were pregnant, she wouldn’t feel so self-conscious about it. She took a bite of her hot dog and sighed with pleasure. Slipping his hand under the table, he rubbed her thigh.

She groaned. “Chris, I’m trying to eat.”

He laughed. Now that he knew how horny she was while pregnant, he couldn’t resist messing with her. “What?” He raised his eyebrows, hoping to look innocent while his fingers brushed the inside of her thigh.

She gave him a pointed look and shook her head. “You don’t play fair.”

Pulling up her dress until he felt her bare skin, he said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

She took his hand and placed it on top of the table. “Be good, Chris, or I won’t give you the wedding present I picked out for you.”
