Forever Love (Fghter Club 1) (14 page)

M; ‘Of course James, we won’t
say a thing. Our lips are sealed. The theme of our speech is this:
why marry James Taylor? Well we thought long and hard about this
and the answer is you’ll have to ask Alexia because fuck if we
know! Well actually we have been doing a lot of investigating into
this and we think we've found a few answers. One reason to marry
James is that he’s exceptionally thoughtful – he’s always thinking
about friends and family. In fact, he starts thinking from the
moment he gets up…… and doesn't stop until he opens his mouth!’

S; ‘Another reason to marry
James is because at school, his sporting progress was legendary. In
fact, when he graduated he was recognised as having made a major
contribution to the schools football first team..… by sticking to
cage fighting.’

M; ‘He’s academically bright. We
were talking to him one lunchtime at college when suddenly he
looked at us with a joyful expression on his face. ‘I’m done here,’
he told us, confidently, ‘they can’t teach me any more.’ Now,
initially, we put that down to his inflated ego. But, curiously
enough, the head of the University at the time was having lunch
behind us so we turned and asked him about James and we were
shocked that his words were exactly the same, but his face had a
whole different expression….. ‘We simply couldn’t teach him any
more’. He told us.

S; ‘Another reason to marry
James is that he’s very caring – especially about his appearance.
It's easy to see from today that James is impeccably dressed, has
always been an image-conscious sort of guy. You know, he once
admitted to us that his favourite forms of entertainment were TV,
Fighting and mirrors …. In reverse order.’

M; ‘He is most known however for
his care of money. As he has often told us: ‘The safest way to
double your money is to fold it over once and put it back in your
pocket.’

S; ‘But marriage changes a man
and his approach to spending is shifting. Just yesterday, while
mulling over a purchase, he blurted out, ‘Well, if you’ve got it
why not spend it! I’m not extravagant enough! It’s a lot of money,
but hey, you only live once! I’m going to buy this right now! I
don’t care how much it costs!’

We were really impressed by
this. And dramatically James threw the packet of Jaffa cakes in the
shopping trolley and marched off.’

M; ‘Now we’re not saying James
is a skin flint but it’s a well known fact that when he suggested
getting married at Alton Towers it was because he thought he could
just pay for him, Alexia and the kids, then make everyone else pay
for themselves.’

S; ‘Now we can only assume that
the reason for Alexia choosing James was that opposites attract.
What we mean is, one of our fondest memories is walking into James’
parent’s garden….whilst they were away we might had… for a party to
see James in the kitchen wearing a floral apron making cocktails
and Alexia in the garden chopping firewood with an Axe. They
certainly are opposites. If the theme of our speech had been: why
marry Alexia? It would have been straight forward. She is
beautiful, intelligent and funny. She’s got the patience of a saint
and is the only person who can knock James out. James, we can say
with our hands on our hearts that you’re one of the luckiest men
alive and we are so pleased that you have got the love of your life
back. And she writes a cracking best men speech as well.’

M; ‘Joking aside, it’s a
wonderful honour being your best men today, James you are a very
special person to us. You are a true friend who never ceases to
amaze us with his kindness. You have listened to us through many a
crisis. You give without any thought of reward. You are a super guy
and a role model of a friend. And yes, we all have had our
differences… but nothing that three lawyers and a judge couldn’t
sort out. We’d now like to wish the happy couple well and toast
their future happiness. Ladies and gentlemen, to the bride and
groom.’

Everyone stood up, clapping and
cheering for the guys as James walked over to them and shook their
hands, clearly moved and gave them a hug.

In the evening Tracy, Sarah and
the dance crew surprised the guests with a performance of their
own, singing and dancing to:

Little Mix - Wings,

Will.I.Am and The Script - Hall
of Fame

Rhianna - Diamonds.

Alexia had said she wanted to
sing a few songs so went to her changing room to change into her
outfit. Sarah and Tracy helped her get ready then went on to help
her get sorted on stage.

James’ eyes were completely
fixed on his wife whilst she was on stage, he loved watching her
perform. She sang her own version of: Go your own way, I won’t give
up, To love you more.Then she went on to sing Bellefire’s, Say
something anyway, All I want is you,You were meant for me,
Finishing with a powerful version of Heart’s Alone.

When she had finished, she went
back to her changing room. She had just taken her stage top off and
was about to take her trousers off when the changing room door
swung open. She jumped and looked up but when she noticed it was
James, she continued to seductively get undressed and stood with
nothing on but a white thong. No words were needed as he locked the
door, walked over to her and started kissing her hard and deep, he
picked her up and carried her over to the sofa, laying her down and
climbed on top of her. They had been making little comments and
touching each other discreetly all day and now they couldn’t take
it anymore, he ripped her knickers off by tearing the seams at the
side of them and undid his trousers pushing them down just enough
for what he needed and slammed into her, they looked at each other
and smiled and as they got their rhythm, for the next hour it was
nothing but the sound of passionate pleas and cries. When they got
back to the party, everyone was having such a good time and
enjoying the expensive champagne that they hadn’t even noticed they
had gone.....or so they thought. They looked over to Tracy and
Sarah who had a big grin on their faces and Matt and Sam who were
sat smiling with a drink for them each in their hands.

‘
Well, you're truly
married now then.’ Tracy said as Sam handed Alexia her drink and
winked at them.

‘
Congratulations mate on
finally marrying the love of your life and banging her like a
goodun in the changing room, classy.’ Matt said as he handed James
his drink. They all burst out laughing and went and joined everyone
else on the dance floor.

‘
HA! Your only jealous but
don’t worry you and Sam can bang Tracy and Sarah in the changing
rooms when you get married,’ James joked.

The four of them looked at James
and Alexia, to each other and back again. ‘Oh stop it you four, we
all damn well know you’ll end up back together.’ Alexia said with a
smile.

Epilogue

‘
Push baby push!’ James
said. Alexia looked up at him, ‘What the fuck do you think I’m
doing?’ She said taking deep breaths before the next contraction.
‘OH MY GOD!!! Why the hell I am doing this again?!’ she
shouted.

‘
Well done Alexia, one
more and baby number one will be here,’ the midwife said. Alexia
gave it all she had, gave one last push and suddenly she heard the
most beautiful sound......A crying baby. She took a deep breath and
watched the midwife place the baby on her tummy. ‘Congratulations
it’s a boy!’ the midwife said. James and Alexia started crying and
James gave her a kiss.

‘
Thank you baby, another
son, he’s so beautiful,’ James cried.

‘
Ok Alexia we will just
take him over there to clean up whilst we get you ready for baby
number two.’ The midwife said.

‘
Ok,’ Alexia
replied.

James knew he had to stay at
Alexia’s side but he wanted to split himself in half so he could
keep an eye on the midwife with his son. He kept looking over at
them until Alexia said, ‘Oh god, here we go again.’ Ten minutes
later the midwife put baby number two on Alexia’s tummy, ‘It’s a
girl! Congratulations.’

‘
Holy shit we have two set
of twins both one boy and one girl,’ James cried and looked at his
daughter in his wife’s arms, ‘Thank you so much baby, for our four
adorable children.’ For the next hour James and Alexia spent time
with their new babies before phoning and telling everyone as they
knew that it was only going to take fifteen minutes for everyone to
get there.

‘
Baby, we’d better phone
home and tell everyone the babies are here.’ Alexia
said.

‘
Umm,’ James replied as he
pulled his phone out. ‘I had better put it on speaker, god forbid
you miss out on their reactions,’ he said with a smirk and Alexia
playfully smacked him.

Sarah, Sam, Tracy, Matt, Ben,
Amber, Tony and James’ parents were all in the front room when the
phone rang. Tracy and Sarah jumped up to see who it was. ‘IT’S
JAMES.’ They both shouted and put it on speaker. ‘HELLOOOOOOOOO.’
Everyone shouted excitedly.

‘
Hello everyone,’ James
said and looked at Alexia and signed for her to keep
quite.

‘
Has she had them?’ Sarah
asked.

‘
No not yet, Doctor said
if she doesn’t have them in the next few hours she has to go for a
C-section,’ he said with a straight face and Alexia tried not to
laugh.

‘
Oh bugger, we got all
excited,’ Tracy said ‘Are you being serious?’

‘
No, she had them an hour
ago!’

‘
WHAT!’ They all
said.

James laughed, ‘Yeah, we have
just got sorted. We have another boy and girl!’

James and Alexia listened to
them all respond at the same time with a mixture of
‘Congratulations, Hooray, Yeah, about time.’

‘
Names?’

‘
Jacob and Harriet.’
Alexia announced.

‘
We are on our way.’
James’ mum shouted and the phone went dead.

James and Alexia looked at each
other, ‘Peace is about to be shattered babe,’ James said.

‘
Yep,’ Alexia
agreed.

James lent down and kissed her,
‘I love you.’ He said looking into her eyes.

‘
I love you too.’ She
smiled at him.
