CAT'S POV

“So what the fuck were you thinking, huh?” He stared at me with an angry expression. Instinctively, I ducked. I didn't expect such a strong reaction “You really think you’re going to this wedding without me?” He let out an exaggerated sob. "My Caity-pooh, my one and only. You can't just... How could you do this to me?" Another sob. Don’t play drama queen, you little bitch!

“Uh, actually I was thinking exactly that, yeah. I mean, since you’re stuck here for some more weeks…” I played along, looking at my feet.

Jimmy stuck out his tongue. “Seriously,” he complained while waving his long gawky arms, “the food is so fucking disgusting here, I don’t even know what it is that they’re bringing me. Like, the spicy ramen noodles today taste exactly like the spaghetti carbonara from last week, and I really don’t want to know what they put in that lasagna yesterday. It tasted like shit. And piss. And Johnny Christ's sperm.”

I grinned broadly. “I’m pretty sure the ramen noodles are leftovers from the carbonara noodles. And concerning the lasagna, well where do you think they put all the amputated body parts and removed appendixes and stuff? And firstly, how do you know how Johnny's jizz tastes? And secondly, why do you think he comes here so often? For JC's special semen seasoning of course!”

“Fuck you!” After some seconds, he added, “on the other hand… That’s actually possible.” I just smiled. I was so happy he was feeling better every day.

It was Saturday. The day of the wedding. I was just quickly swinging by Jimmy’s in the hospital before Matt would pick me up from my home. At one pm, the ceremony in the church would start, and after that, just a long long afternoon with cake and a lot of wine and a long evening of partying.
“Are you at least bringing me some of that cake?” he asked.

Before I could answer, there was a knock on the door. I noticed immediately how a smile I’d never seen before formed on his lips… “Hi there,” a redhead came into our room. Isn’t that Lizzie, the donor? “Am I interrupting something?” she asked.

“No, you’re not,” I said and so she sat down on Jimmy’s bed, too. At about twenty-one with a fine facial structure and energetic dark blue eyes, she definitely was something. Wait... Is it possible that...? No, right?
“Jimmy, I just wanted to let you know that I’m leaving today, actually right now…” she said, and Jimmy frowned. Wait a minute. Now seriously, what is going on here?

“But you’ll visit, right? I could take you out to a fancy date at the hospital cafeteria, how does that sound?” he grinned. WHAT! Holy fuck, Jimmy and the donor? Is he fucking serious right now? I mean... THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTEEEEEEE oh my God would my fucking mind shut up right now?

“Actually, that sounds great. I’ll see you soon, Jimmy. Don’t worry. And Cat, it was nice meeting you. Again. I heard so much about you.” She handed him a neatly folded piece of paper before shyly kissing his cheek. HEY THAT’S MY FUCKING SPOT!
Before I could even say anything, she was gone.

“Uhm, Jimbo?” I grinned at him as his cheeks turned crimson red, almost as if he was a school boy and I caught him doing something he wasn’t supposed to do. “Don’t ask, okay? She’s just … Ahhhhhh. And I don’t even know if she likes me back and ahhhhh!” Jimmy tore his hair out.

“EARTH TO SERGEANT SULLIVAN, don’t be fucking dumb. That girl gave you a kidney ‘cause she likes you so much. She’s wax in your hands man.”
Mere minutes later, I left the hospital with a satisfying grin.

At home, I quickly put on my dress. It was cherry red like Matt wanted, it was strapless and ended just above my knees. There were black lace roses all over it and it showed off my slim waist as it was tight until about in the middle and then flared like a ballet tutu. It was perfect, really.

I completed my look with black, traditional heels and fine black jewellery. I curled my hair, did it back on one side and put a black flower there. Carefully, I applied black eyeliner and a matching red lipstick. Done. I was stunning to say the least. Matt would be really pleased.

I texted Brian as I waited. I wanted to know if he really got Michelle to accompany him. When would he finally admit how much he was into her?
Finally, the doorbell rang. I heard my mom open. "Salut Matieu, she'll be down ina...- mon dieu, that's really cute of you," I heard her say, "I'm sure she'll be happy about that." Wait, about what?

"Hi, Maman Frédérique, I hope so." God, he's really here. That sexy voice, damn... - Uh, earth to Cat? He's been here a thousand times. It's Sanderbanders.

"Hi Matt," I called out as I slowly made my way downstairs. Man, he looks freakishly handsome. His tux was classical, his tie red. He wore his hair gelled back and, what the fuck, had a bouquet of red roses for me.

I watched in awe as his hand fumbled with his car keys and his lip trembled before he finally said, "Hi there, you look gorgeous."
So do you, Matt. So do you.


MATT'S POV

I didn't even know how to greet her, seing as Mama Fred was right there, so when she came closer, we shared an awkward hug and I couldn't resist the urge to at least kiss her forehead. She smelled so great. When we pulled apart, the smile on her red lips was so real, so broad I just had to smile, too. She looked exactly like her soul was, beautiful, dark and wild.

While I drove to the church, our hands entwined. I can't believe that three weeks ago I would have come here for my own wedding. With someone who's not Cat.

Her curls were blown back by the wind and my heart beat faster at the thought of this beautiful creature being my plus one today. I had it sorted out, the whole evening. I'd be the perfect gentleman the whole time, giving her my jacket, caring about only her well-being, and only having eyes for me.

I didn't care what my friends thought, I wanted everyone to know that I was in love with her and that I'd do anything to win her heart. And for later, I put rose petals and a nice rosey scent into my whirl pool, where I planned on, well, you know.

"Sanders, you look fucking sexy tonight," Johnny said as he started humping my leg. GOD JOHNNY CHRIST IS THAT A BONER I FEEL? Him (highly alcohol intoxicated) and Lacey were the first ones we saw outside. "Hi there," I said and stepped away from him.
Cat started a conversation with Lacey, so I chatted with Johnny for a while. Soon, we were joined by Zack and Gena.

I almost thought Brian wasn't coming, but in the very last minute before we headed inside, he came running. He was breathless. His tie was crooked, his hair was shaggy and there was a lipstick stain on his white shirt. I grinned. It was typical of Brian to get it on right before an event like that. Truth be told: I would have also fucked Cat senseless when I saw her earlier, I was just too romantic.

"Damn, Brian!" She laughed her cute little laugh as she hugged him, "she coming later or what?" He chuckled. "Yeah. She needs to redo her make-up and hair." Hopefully he'll make him and Chelle something real, too, I thought.

The ceremony was beautiful, and then we drove to a restaurant and the rest of the afternoon flew by quickly. Soon, it was time to dance, so I stood as close as possible to Cat so half-way into the first waltz, when the rest of the people started dancing with the married couple, I'd ask her, too.

When the time was right, I just held out my hand to her and she quickly grabbed it with a smile. We made our way to the dance floor and I wrapped my arms around her, leading our dance. We were perfect together. I looked around and saw other couples dancing off beat, stepping on each other's feet or not dancing at all. No-one fit so perfect like we did.

Just as I focused at her beautiful features, ready to attack her lips any second, I registered a movement by the door. Immediately, I turned there.
Shit.
My whole body stiffened. It was as if every last bit of air was knocked right out of my lungs, just like when Jimmy hit the snare really hard in our very first band room. I literally couldn't breathe.

Shit, shit, shit.
