EPILOGUE

Two Years Later

I t’s Spencer’s wedding day.

It took Jared a long enough time to propose, I swear Spence was losing her mind waiting for it to happen. When Jared told me his plan to do it during one of her shows, I helped him organize it after she sang their song, “Only Forever.” It was beautiful and the crowd went insane.

I had to dodge a bunch of hate from her ex after it happened. The asshole got booted from the Spartans and no team in the league wants anything to do with him. He pops up every once in a while to try and make Spencer’s life miserable, but I’m the one that gets all the messages. I’m also the one that presses “delete” on every single one of them .

No one thinks about him, and we all intend to keep it that way.

Now, a year later we’re here helping her get ready. Chandler got Evie dressed in her flower girl outfit she keeps twirling around in. She’s fallen a couple times after being so dizzy, but she just laughs and gets up again. Her brown hair is curled and turquoise eyes shine with her laughter.

When Audrey was changing, Spencer noticed her nipple piercings and that sparked a whole discussion because she wanted a distraction from her nerves.

“Do they hurt?” Spencer asks.

“Getting them did, but not anymore, they feel amazing now,” Audrey explains. “Would you ever get them?”

Spencer shakes her head. “No, I don’t think I could go through with it. I only have the one tattoo and I may do that again, but I’m not sure.”

She displays her “Only Forever” tattoo on her ribs proudly.

“What about you, Brynn, want to join me in the pierced nipple club? I know Chandler won’t.” Audrey gives Chandler a pointed look.

“Nope, you’ve tried and failed many times,” Chandler responds.

I shrug. “Maybe. I only have one tattoo right now, but I would consider it.”

Audrey looks me up and down like she’s searching for the ink through my clothes. “I never knew you had a tattoo. What is it and where?”

Slightly embarrassed, I pull down my lip to reveal it. It’s a little faded at this point, but still readable and I see the moment she reads it. “Good girl, damn I knew I always liked you.” Audrey winks and I chuckle.

“What about Colton, does he have any secret piercings or tattoos?” She wiggles her eyebrows at me.

“No piercings, he does have a princess crown tattoo for me.” I feel the blush on my cheeks.

“That’s so cute,” Chandler joins in. “Brent just has the one piercing on his d–”

“EW! Oh my God, no! Don’t ever talk about anything Brent has on his body or talk about him at all. In fact, I don’t even know him.” I gag at the new knowledge. She didn’t even need to finish her sentence for me to know what she was about to say, and I feel like I’m about to pass out.

Spencer and Audrey keel over with laughter at my expense.

“I always knew your brother was a secret freak,” Spencer says through her laughter.

“Sorry, I forget you’re related sometimes,” Chandler apologizes, and I don’t even know if I can look at her right now.

“I’m leaving this room before I end up even more traumatized.”

I leave the large bridal suite and run into a large body immediately, for a second I worry it’s my brother and I think I’ll throw up on him if I see him. Luckily, as soon as the hands grip my biceps, I know who it is and I relax.

“What are you doing?” I ask Colton.

“I came to check on you guys, Colver is freaking out and I was the one suckered in to make sure his bride didn’t run away.”

I chuckle, appreciating the distraction from the trauma I just experienced. “She’s in there and she’s not going anywhere. They’ve been best friends forever; you’d think he wouldn’t be worried.”

“Yeah, who the fuck knows. I also wanted to see you.” He leans down to press a kiss to my lips, but I stop him with my hand on his mouth.

“I’m wearing lipstick.”

“Good, I want to fuck it up.”

Before I’m able to stop him, he kisses me roughly and I let him because I don’t care if it gets messed up, I’ll never get used to how it feels when Colton kisses me. Our love has only grown, and I wouldn’t have ever guessed we would be where we are today.

When he pulls away, he asks, “Would you want this someday?”

“The marriage or wedding?”

“Both. ”

“With you, of course.”

He kisses me again, but I push him back. “This doesn’t count as a proposal though; I still expect a real one.”

He chuckles. “I’ll always give you anything you want.”

When our lips meet this time, I don’t want to break apart. I don’t care who finds us, I don’t care if we miss the wedding, as long as I’m here with him I’m so happy.

“Get a room,” a voice booms and I look up to see Matt, Vince, and Brent standing at the opening of the hallway.

Brent looks disgusted and I’m glad because that makes two of us.

“On second thought, maybe we should just elope,” I whisper to Colton.

“Done.”

The End
