But no matter how hard they tried, they really couldn’t make me forget him.
He was already a part of me.
It sounded crazy, even to my ears, but it was true. And now, I found myself wondering how I was going to survive the coming years.
“Guys, I’m fine. Just go back to your house, okay?”
“That’s just you trying to—” Suddenly, Susan sat upright, her forehead furrowing as she turned a confused look at me. “Do you hear that?”
“Hear what?” Jessie asked.
I blinked, wondering what they were talking about. Is this another act?
“Look if you just want to—”
“Shhh. Kylie, listen!” She whispered furiously, jerking a finger at the window, “I think someone is calling your name.”
Someone calling my name?
“What the hell are you—”
But then I stopped, abruptly, hearing for the first time, the faint but unmistakable sound of my name slicking in through my window.
“Kylie! … Kylie!”
My eyes widened. Is that….?
Without waiting for an answer, I tore across the living room, making a beeline for the window and immediately flung it open.
What I saw down below made my heart stop.
It was Tom. On his knees. In the middle of the road as some people whispered and looked at him like he was a lunatic. Some even had cameras. And what was more… he had a bunch of roses in his hand.
“Wh—what…?” I couldn’t even bring out that single word.
“Kylie,” He shouted, “Before you say anything else, hear me out.”
By now, I could hear the gasps and squeals of the sisters standing on either side of me. What the hell was Tom doing?
“I have been a jerk.” He boomed out again, “In fact, I’m the worst scum on earth. You know why? You told me you loved me, Kylie. Which kind of idiot stays silent when a smart, beautiful, witty, woman with both an amazing sense of humor and the purest heart ever, says that to him? I’m… I’m so in love with you that it’s hard to believe. I-I’ve never felt this way before. I understand if you’re gonna give me a hard time now but know well that even if it takes running through hell and fighting the devil himself, I’m gonna make you mine again. My woman.”
To say my heart did not move would be worse than Judas’ betrayal. In fact, I was no longer there.
I was downstairs, with him, crying my heart out as I realized that the love of my life… loved me too.
Epilogue
Before the Wedding
Tom
"He really didn’t come?” Rachel asked in her sweet voice, popping her head into the room where I sat waiting for the guy who should have been my best man.
“We still got a few minutes. He’ll come.” I said, but even I couldn’t see the conviction in my voice. Frank was a terrific guy, but when it came to keeping grudges, he was a pro.
“You know,” She entered the room, smiling slyly, “I could be the best man.”
“Ha, ha, ha,” I laughed sarcastically, “Then you’d have to be a man first, darling. And I don’t think your husband would take that very well.”
She giggled, reaching over to grab my arm before resting her head on my shoulder, “I’m so happy for you, dad. I honestly thought that after mom left like that, you were just gonna…”
“Die a sad lonely death surrounded by my money and nothing else?”
“Well,” she chuckled, “Not exactly. But you get the idea.”
“Angel,” I took her hand and squeezed lightly, “At first, it was all about me. But now… Kylie has brought joy to both our lives and I think she is just what we need. I love her, you know?”
“Dad, you’ve said that like a gazillion times now. Jeez, even Richard and I weren’t this sappy!”
I guffawed, drawing her to my arms in a big bear hug, “Oh darling, this is just the beginning. I’m going to love this woman so much you’ll think I’m crazy.”
