This bakery was owned by pack members, thankfully, and we were the only ones in the building at the time. Dietrich, Shane, Riviana and I were all in there together. I didn’t care what we got for the dessert, it wasn’t what mattered.
Allison, one of the chefs was prepping a pie while we waited for Jenn to bring out an array for us to see. Allison was putting whipped cream onto the pie at that moment that Shane couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Hey, Shawn, does that cream remind you of anything?” Shane’s laughter was more than I could handle at the moment.
“Shut up.” I growled quietly at him. “Just don’t go there.”
“Come on. I see you’re both marked. I know what you’ve been up to.” He was still giggling.
“I swear, Shane, don’t do it. Don’t go there.”
“Come on. I know you’ve done it. Did you enjoy the cream he gave you?”
I lost it then, my patience snapped and I just had to retaliate. I focused on the room and where the shadows were. Thankfully, there were a lot of them. I concentrated on the pie, the one that had started this whole joke for my brother. Then I focused on my stupid brother’s annoying face, that one that was no longer identical to mine.
With just a little bit of effort I lifted the pie with my mind and sent it through the shadows. In less than a second the pie reappeared, in the shadow that was laying across Shane’s face.
The pie landed cream side against his face, splattering him and the wall behind him with the fluffy white cream.
“What the hell?” He yelled at me after wiping the cream away from his mouth. Riviana and Dietrich were both laughing hysterically next to us.
“I told you not to go there.” I laughed at him. “Did you enjoy your cream, Shane?”
“You’re an asshole.” He laughed as he licked the cream off his fingers. “A fucking asshole.” He took a step toward me then. “Come here.” Now he was running at me, and we weren’t that far apart to begin with.
Shane ended up smearing the pie’s filling across my face, making us even. But I have to admit that it was fun throwing a pie into his face to begin with.
And in case you’re wondering, we got an array of pies for the reception. All thanks to Shane.

August had arrived. The seventh to be exact. On this day, this saturday was the day that I was to marry my love.
We did this as properly as we could. I slept at Riviana and Joaquin’s while Shawn slept at his home. We did not have bachelor parties, because neither of us wanted one, but we still didn’t see each other until it was time to head to the mountains.
Joaquin was there for me, as my best man since he was the closest thing that I had to family here or anywhere really. Shane was going to be acting as Shawn’s best man. He had been there for his brother since the womb and neither Shane nor Shawn would have had it any other way.
Joaquin had his Brioni Tuxedo he had worn to his own wedding so I didn’t need to buy one for him. However I still bought new ones for Shawn, Shane, their father Franklin Asher, Gabriel, and of course myself. I paid for brand new beautifully designed dresses for Riviana, Pauline Asher, and Falena.
There were no decorations to be had, and there were no flowers or bouquets. The only things I could plan for were the clothing, the time, the place, and the food so I was going to go all out where I could. I was marrying the love of my life after all and I wanted to make this day as special for him as I could. But I also knew that he didn’t want this wedding to be a big affair.
No matter how bold Shawn had been acting lately, he was still my shy little Cupcake and I would not force anything really big onto him. This day was for him, for the both of us to prove our love.

I was standing in my living room, holding up a suit that had cost my fianc茅 somewhere in the high forty thousands. And he didn’t just buy one of these suits, he had bought five. He had wanted to buy Joaquin a new one too but he had the suit from his own wedding which was a perfect match for ours as it was. The only thing Joaquin needed was the shirt and tie to match us completely. If you added in accessories and shoes, which Dietrich bought as well, he had spent over half a million on tuxedos alone.
Oh Goddess, how was I ever going to get used to this?
“You’re a rich trophy wife now, just deal with it.” Shane joked with me. “Just let your husband pay for everything.”
“Just shut up, you asshole. Do I need to hit you with something again?” I joked back at him, I knew he was just playing around, but what he said was true in a way. I was not a trophy wife, I wasn’t talking about that part. No, I meant that part where he said I was rich and I needed to get used to it.
I was now a very rich man because I was marrying a very rich man. I was used to being economic and now I could do whatever I wanted or needed to without worrying. That was both nerve wracking as well as comforting.
Anyway, I didn’t need to be thinking of this right now. What I needed to do right now was get ready for my wedding.
This wedding was different than the one I had pictured when I was a kid. Everyone imagines their future at some point, imagines how their life would end up.
I used to imagine some beautiful woman coming down an aisle toward me. She would be wearing a big smile and a white gown. But it had never felt right to me. I used to think it was because I could never truly see her face. But now I know it was because I was waiting for a man, not a woman. And that we would be walking with each other, arm in arm, to the place where we were to take out vows.
Was it weird that I had butterflies right now? Was it weird that I was excited and eagerly anticipating this day? Or that I was happy that we were leaving on a honeymoon to a private beach in Belize?
I was actually really looking forward to that. It was time alone with Dietrich, just the two of us for two weeks at the beach. I could just imagine the things we would get up to while we were there. Especially with my new found confidence in myself when I was with Dietrich.
After Shane and I were dressed we got ready to go. Mom, Dad and Falena were meeting us at the estate and would be walking with us to the cliff. I was meeting Dietrich, Riviana, Joaquin, and Gabriel there as they would be waiting on us.
