Hope's Chance(92)



“If you change your mind, you know where to find me.” She said as she started walking away.

I made my way back into the bedroom. Hope was sitting up hugging her naked chest. “I can’t believe you didn’t get dressed.”

“I want to get caught I think. I can’t hid this anymore Chance. Look at everything we have had to go through. I can’t stand it.”

“Me either.” I admitted as I pulled her back into my arms.

Hope finally fell asleep, but I stayed awake wondering how all of this was going to play out. I needed just a few more days.



Three days later, things were still weird being around Susan. She had gone from throwing herself on me, to not getting near me at all. Mark had pulled me aside twice and asked what was wrong with her. It was hard to tell him that she wasn’t Hope.

Buffy made Hope a beautiful birthday cake and dinner. Her father had gone out and got her a new laptop for deciding to go to school and she was so surprised. I slipped her a gift in private. I had printed out a photo we took at the beach that time we went together. I made a paper frame for it and wrote a note on the back about how much she meant to me.

Hope’s birthday dinner was also the rehearsal dinner for the wedding. We had a house full, and there was a bunch of people stopping by. After the minister who was performing the ceremony had gone over all of the details, everyone started to leave. Of course, that left the five of us in the house again to ring in the New Year.

Susan had drank a bit too much and was trying to grope all over me again. This time she cornered me in a hallway and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I shook my head and called it a night.

Hope joined me after an hour of waiting and I gave her the other half of her present. We reigned in the New Year and afterwards, I spent at least thirty minutes kissing her, with my lips and my tongue, on every inch of her body. When my head reached her tender skin between her legs, she cried out in ecstasy. I love satisfying her and for the first time I didn’t have to hide it.

We fell asleep naked in my bed and when Buffy came in to wake us up, Hope never even moved. “Seriously? You guys want to get caught on my wedding day?”

“She is an adult Buff, let her enjoy it.” I stated while still holding her close to me.

“Okay, well before you spill the beans to everyone, could you at least give me one day to get married?” She pleaded.

Hope and I sat up, realizing how much it was upsetting her. “Sorry Buff. We were being selfish. You are right. We can tell my father about us another day. What is a few more days right?” Hope said.

“Well, I came in here to let you both know that your dad and Susan are already up. We have a lot to do and I knew Hope was in here. I would appreciate it if you could get yourselves up and arrive in the house at separate times.” She said frustrated.

“We will get there when we get there Buff. Calm down. You are just being bitchy because you are nervous.” I blurted out.

Buffy held her hands up in the air. “Whatever Chance! It is my day ya know!”

Buffy stormed out and left us to be alone.

“Maybe we should head to the main house.” Hope suggested.

“Yeah, probably.” Chance said as he kissed me. “But, I hate pretending that I don’t want you.” He looked up at me and licked his lips. “Because, I always want you Hope.”

A few minutes later Hope and I got up and made our separate entrances into the main house. Buffy finally calmed down and we were able to start getting everything ready. Since they decided to have the service at the Country Club, we all had to pile into cars and make our way there.



The wedding started at two and only about twenty people had been invited. The wedding party was just one of Mark’s friends and myself, and then Hope and Susan.

Buffy had spent hours upon hours making arrangements with mason jars. She and Hope had taken at least fifty jars out back and spray painted the insides silver. She found these pink and white flowers that matched her colors and filled the jars. I thought it was stupid until I was standing there looking at the finished product.

I should have never doubted my sister’s creativity. She was amazing.

Her dress wasn’t an old-fashioned dress. As a secret surprise to me, and a promise to our mom, she had taken our mother’s wedding dress that she kept, and had a professional dressmaker alter it to her tastes. Tiny fabric roses lined the top of the strapless dress. They also surrounded the circumference of the entire base. I had only seen pictures of my mother’s dress, but Mark filled me in about it right before she came down the aisle. I got choked up about it, even before I saw her in it.

Hope came down the aisle first, and I felt like I was going to cry because she was so beautiful. Her hair had been curled to perfection and she looked like a china doll. She caught my eyes while she walked and never even paid attention to her father noticing. I was shocked when he turned and nodded at me, as if knowing she was looking at me.

My sister looked beautiful walking down the aisle and she seemed so happy. I wanted to walk her, but she insisted on doing it herself. That was my sister.

During the ceremony, I couldn’t take my eyes off of Hope. When the minister asked them to repeat the vows, I mouthed “I do” to Hope. She did the same to me. I noticed Susan staring at me the entire time and realized she must have thought I was saying the words to her. I had ignored her for days, but she still wouldn’t let it go.
