Valentino's [3]

When it's over I grab his hand and we walk down the pathway. I look at him, taking a deep breath.

He smiles at her, walking back down the isle.

I let go of his hand when we get to the end. "I'm gonna change for the after party."

"Alright." He smiles. "You want me to change too?"

I shrug, "Whatever you want."

I walk back to the room and change into a tight, short, mini dress, keeping my makeup and trying to still wear the high heels. I walk back out and all my friends from Olympus rush over to me and start asking me a bunch of questions. I make them sit down at a table, I sit down too, and Start answering them.

Jace sighs and decides to just take his tie off, going off to search for Rayah.

I see Jace wondering around and flash a smile, motioning for him to come sit down too.

He flashes a smile and sits at her side, kissing the side of her face in greeting.

My smile grows wider as my friends introduce thierselves. I grab Jace's hand under the table.

He smiles and nods at each of her friends politely.

"Alright! It's time for speeches!" I hear someone yell behind me. I turn around to see a stage and my Dad on it. I smile and turn my chair around to watch him. The place goes silent.

"Ray, Your my little girl. I never want you to grow up. Please know that." He says, a drink in his hand. I nod, tears threatening to come.
"I remember when you were five and at your aunts wedding you threw the cake in your face and you used to always push your brother in the fountain at home." He remembers.

I look down, embarassed, chuckling.
"Anyone else?" He asks, looking around.

Nic hesitantly stands, raising his glass.

"I'll admit it. I underestimated my brother." He says. "I didn't think he could find something as good as he had so quickly, and was stupid enough to act on it. I didn't support him when he needed me and I apologize for that. But I see the way you look at her, Jace, and the way you look at him, Rayah, and I can't imagine things any other way."

I flash a smile at him, nodding, and mouth 'Thanks.'

I sigh when he walks off the stage and stand. Walking up, everyone looking at me. I smoothed my dress and looked around, taking the mic.

"Um, hi." I started, biting my lip. "I didn't know this would go so perfectly, me and Jace I mean. It's been amazing, just being with him. I can't believe it. Like, seriously." I chuckled. "I want to thank my mom for the set up, this place looks amazing. I would also like to thank all My siblings for supporting me. I swear if It weren't for them I wouldnt have been able to do any of that or walk in these heels. I would like to thank my daddy, for keeping me close to him. Gem, Andrew for protecting me. I love you guys. And most importantly...Jace. I love you, Thank you for everything. Your amazing." I said, handing the mic back to my dad and sit back down, everyone clapping.

Jace smiles at her, unable to stop, and kisses her when she sits back down, hugging her. "I love you too."

I flash a smile back and I hear the music kick back on. I shake my head at it all and lean against the stage, looking up at the stars.
