''Richard; '' she called and stretched her lips into what looked like a smile. Nicklaus wasn't fond of him, and the last thing she wanted now was to make Nicklaus mad on his day.
''You look pretty; '' He said, admiring her.
Tiana nodded and murmured a 'thank you' and looked above his shoulders; thankfully, Nicklaus had his back to them so he wasn't seeing Richard, she turned back to him impatiently.
Richard looked behind him and saw Nicklaus, and he turned to her with a smile;
''I just wanted to say I was sorry for being an ass in the past, ''
Tiana nodded, ''Okay, I forgive you. ''
She wasn't going to have anything to do with him anyway, so she forgave him.
''Congrats on your wedding; ''
''thank you; um, excuse me,'' she said with a smile and walked past him to meet with Nicklaus.
When Nicklaus saw her, he leaned in and kissed her cheeks, then held her hand as he spoke to the people in front of him.
''What are you staring at? '' Diana snooped up by his side and whispered in his ears, jerking him from this thoughts.
Richard rolled his eyes when he saw her;
''don't tell me you are still having a crush on a married woman? '' she raised her eyes at him with a light chuckle;
''No, I was just wondering what it would feel like to have someone you love and who loves you back. ''
He heaved a sigh and Diana laughed out loud;
''Why do you always take everything to be a joke? ''
Richard held himself back from pinching her cheeks; she was so annoying.
''Oops, sorry, it's just that hearing this from someone that has changed up-to 10 girlfriends in one year is quite surprising; ''
Richard shrugged, putting his hands into his pockets,
''none of those are real. I was just flirting with them. I've just felt it once, and then never again.''
''oh really, where is she, the one you loved?''
''she dumped me; ''
Diana erupted in laughter, her cheeks flushing;
''I thought as much. ''
Richard glared at her, then he remembered something;
''Yeah, our parents are here, can we tell them at once that we support… ''
Diana's face paled instantly; ''don't spoil my mood on this joyful occasion, Richard Howells. ''
She glared at him then searched around with her eyes, when she saw Michael, she smiled;
''I see you have nothing to say, so I'm leaving you to go meet my man. '' she said with more stress on the 'man'
Richard's lips fell, ''your… your man? ''
Since he knew her, she had never been in any relationship, so he was truly shocked when she said that, he watched her walk forward to Michael Wills and kiss him on the cheeks then hold his arm.
Oh well, it seemed he was the only single one now.
After the picture taking, everyone drove to the reception in one of Nicklaus' hotels. Nicklaus and Tiana went in to change into something more comfortable.
Tiana wore a short white dress, while Nicklaus a white shirt with his pants.
They were alone in the changing room and she helped him to button up his shirt;
''I missed you; '' she said, looking in his eyes.
''Me too; ''
Nicklaus leaned down and pecked her cheeks, and then he kissed her;
''I couldn't sleep last night; '' he whispered and she laughed;
''Me neither, I thought I was the only one. '' she raised her hand to clean the stain of lipstick on his lips; Nicklaus bit her finger lightly in the process, making her giggle.
''Why am I looking forward to tonight? '' he asked with a husky tone, grabbing her by the waists, he pulled her towards him such that she was against his groin and he was holding her backside.
Tiana giggled as her cheeks flushed, they already had sex many times in the past, but yet she was still feeling giddy at the thought of it.
''Strangely, I look forward to it too; '' She moaned as she felt him kiss her neck.
''mm, I can't wait, '' his voice sounded at the back of his throat as he nibbled on her neck, Tiana's eyes rolled back as her fingers grabbed his hair, but suddenly the door was pushed open, and a surprised-looking Elizabeth walked in;
''What are you both doing here when everyone is waiting for you outside? Don't tell me you want to start your wedding night this afternoon? '' she asked, and Tiana laughed;
''No, not at all, I was just helping him with his collar; '' she lied as she pretended to dress the collar.
''We'll be out in a second; '' Nicklaus said and Elizabeth eyed him;
''Quickly, everyone is waiting,'' she said and closed the door.
Tiana turned to Nicklaus with a chuckle;
''We should get going now. '' She said with a sexy smile. His eyes remained transfixed on her; everything she was doing today was just irresistibly sexy.
''Mm. '' He nodded and instead of leaving, he leaned and kissed her lips again.
Tiana kissed him back reflexively; '' alright, let's go now. ''
''Just one more; '' Nicklaus said and kissed her again, when she tried to let go of him, he held her and kissed her again, Tiana laughed;
He finally let her go and she arranged his hair with her hands, after which they walked out of the room.
When they walked into the hall, everyone clapped. Tiana was filled with smiles as she waved at them. Today was truly the happiest day of her life.
They sat down and the MC began the event, a few people gave toasts to the couple including Diana. After which was the couple's first dance.
Tiana stood up shyly as everyone clapped them to the center;
The music 'At Last' by Etta James, started to play.
Tiana melted into Nicklaus' embrace as he held her waists, guiding them on the dance floor. Her eyes closed as she immersed in the song, everyone watching them.
When the song finished, a more lively song took over and other couples joined them on the dance floor.
After the dance, Nicklaus was told to sing for Tiana. He was surprised as everyone ranted
''Sing for her!''
He had never sung in front of people before but seeing her excited face, he quickly cleared his voice.
