Then, they exchanged rings, Piper slipping a simple silver ring, engraved with the date, onto his finger. She then leaned up to kiss him when the priest allowed, her hands cupping his cheeks delicately.
The reception was next, the blonde relaxing comfortably beside her husband. Her arms were wrapped around one of his, a tired smile on her lips. “I love you, Brent…”
“I love you too, Piper.” he smiled in return. It was a small gathering with the few people, neither one of the couple had many relatives or friends to get back to but with who ever was there made every second worth it. From the dance to the goodbyes before they were seen off by their friends for their honeymoon. As soon as they were out of the sights of their other loved ones Brent hastily put up the divider between them and the driver and launched a million little kisses on her face.

She had kissed him rather harshly, absolutely stunned that he had proposed. After years of waiting, they were finally getting married..
“I-I love you too, honeybee..” She managed to stammer out between her sniffles.
It honestly didn’t take long to plan the wedding. Only close friends were invited, Brent’s sister even making an appearance to help Piper with her gown. It was short-sleeved, said sleeves and the top of the bodice being made entirely of lace. The skirt ended just before her ankles and pinched at the waist. Her hair had been pinned into a simple, yet elegant bun, her makeup being her usual cat-eye eyeliner and red lipstick.
It seemed like forever until she actually walked down that aisle and got to the altar where he had been waiting. Her heart hammered away in her chest as the ceremony proceeded, Piper grasping her bouquet tightly. It wasn’t until their vows that she moved, giving Abby the bouquet in exchange for a folded piece of paper.
Turning to Brent, Piper took a deep breath and began,
“Brent, I love you so much. I remember the day we first met, when we saw each other in our English class, and you immediately walked over and introduced yourself t’ me. I knew then that you would be someone to change my life.” Her voice shook a bit, forcing her to stop for a moment before continuing. “I didn’t think that eight years later, we’d be standing here. In fact, I didn’t even think I’d even get the chance to date you.”
“I promise to love you through thick and thin, to never give up on you, and to never keep score during any fights, even though we both know I’ll win. You’re the only one for me, and I’m glad you’re here with me today. I love you…” By the time she finished, she was wiping tears away quickly, trying not to smear her makeup.
All the planning and everything didn’t hit him up until this moment, the moment she spoke those words. Nothing could compare to the point where he swore to be hers and she swore to be his. Brent’s heart was beating so quickly in his chest he just wanted the whole stressful ceremony to be over but at the same time he wanted to be able to stare at her with her beautiful white wedding dress on until the end of time.
“I promise you that every second of every day I’ll be worth your time and your love and I will never give you a moment to doubt how much you mean to me. I’ll keep you safe and from harm with everything in my power, which is a whole lot more now so… yeah.” He chuckled the last part while blushing madly, I’ll never give you a reason to question your trust in me. I still don’t know why a girl like you would ever fall in love with a guy like me but hey, I’m not complaining. I pledge my love, life, and devotion to you and for every second from now on.“
And yes, his sister did help him write those vows, he wasn’t all too savvy with words like everybody else, but what really mattered to him was how they were said. "Babe, I love you.”

She was absolutely starstruck. After years of living in a small apartment, they were moving into a grand house and, to her utter surprise, they went shopping for the first time in years. The dress had fit her like a glove, the sequins glittering with each movement.
As they arrived at the restaurant, the woman slipped out of the car with his help, her arms wrapped around one of his own. “Brent, really, you didn’t need to do this, honeybee.” She murmured, blushing slightly as they were led to a secluded table, her seat being pulled out for her. After sitting and crossing her legs at the ankles, she looked up at him with those big blue eyes of her’s.
Piper didn’t mind the selling. She honestly didn’t. After all, she wasn’t really involved too much in it other than riding along with him every now and again. No matter what he did, she loved him more than anything. After all these years, she still looked at him the same way, with the same hope and happiness in her eyes. “Honeybee,” she began. “What’s goin’ on? What’s with all the nice treatment?”
“Babe, don’t you think this is something to celebrate?” He asked her as he pointed out a wine on the menu to the waiter, “We’re free from half of the bullshit we were going through.” Even though that was true they were taking on a whole new set of responsibilities but there’s a difference between stressing over having no cash and whatever the hell they were going to be doing now, it was an opportunity that was worth it. Brent had earned it and for once on his life and celebrating this felt right. It just felt right. The wine was brought out along with the subsequent rich courses that they had ordered, they marveled over the food, they enjoyed the other’s company, the two of them shared what they ate with the other with the soft flickering light of the candles between the illuminating the other. Perfect. It was perfect.
And when he got down on one knee, when he asked her to marry him… The way her hands went up to her mouth almost like she was bewildered that the thought of proposing had occurred to Brent, she wasn’t able to even say anything other than nod her head with tears brimming her eyes. Piper pulled him over to her and kissed Brent.
“I love you babe.”

That day had to be one of her favorite.
She remembered being asked out by Brent, the request striking her as odd. “Come for a ride with me, babe? I won’t take ya too far.” He had said, leaning against his Cadillac. Of course, Piper’s parents would be furious if they found out she had gone, but she went gladly. They drove for what seemed like hours, the then 17 year old girl being too shy to say anything. She had such a huge crush on him, but there was no way she’d tell him. He’d think she was such a geek.
When asked if she had a prom date, she looked over, blinking a few times as she registered his question. “Ahh.. No, I don’t.” She replied with a smile that curved the tips of her red lips upwards. Lightly, she tucked a blonde curl behind her ear, which became untucked the moment she turned back to the open window, the wind blowing at her lightly.
They parked not long after in a nearby clearing, Brent walking over to her side to open her door. After getting out and walking a few feet, the two sat down, Piper sitting rather close to him. Her blush was hid by the colours of the setting sun, her hands folded in her lap. It was then that Brent took one of her hands and pulled her to his side, an arm wrapping around her protectively. “Babe, will ya go t’ prom with me?” He murmured, rubbing her arm lightly.
She nodded quickly, leaning up to press her lips to his. Her hands cupped his cheeks gently, a soft, content sigh leaving her as they pulled away. “Yeah.. Yeah, of course…”
At that time, he wasn’t sure if he should have asked her or not but when he finally balled up and asked her, Brent got the answer he was looking for. But why would a girl like her even like somebody like him? She had a bright future and he was set up to be running drugs for the rest of his life, and that was being optimistic. Not once did it occur to him that this would be the beginning of a long term relationship, and one where he had asked Piper to marry him.
The night after he got the coveted promotion he took her out to dinner at this one fancy restaurant the blonde had been eyeing for a long time. Taking whatever saving he had, they drove to a department store and bought the most beautiful blue dress for her on the racks and a decent shirt and tie for himself. Piper went to try out the dress in the fitting room and came back out, the sequins shining brightly and beautifully. Brent was speechless, all he did was sit there with his jaw dropped before he finally got up to kiss her whispering ‘You’re my little diamond babe.’
They pulled up to the curb of the place and a valet came by and took their car to park it, giving them a ticket in return which he tucked into the same pocket as the ring which he had bought a long time ago just waiting for the right moment to ask her. Now they could afford a nice lavish wedding if that’s what they wanted, they wouldn’t have to worry about saving money for the ceremony or where to have it, there was so much that was lifted off of their shoulders that made him know that if it wasn’t tonight, then no other night will do.

She squealed softly as she was picked up and kissed, her arms wrapping around his neck. “Course I am, honeybee.” She giggled, kissing him lightly on the cheek.
Piper missed this. Driving in the Caddy, not caring about what they had to do. They only seemed to care about selling back then. Of course, that was after she graduated. She used to only care about her grades then…
After the two of them were buckled in he backed out of the driveway headed straight for the city, every now and then to steal a glance of Piper who was looking out the open car window and enjoying the breeze as they were going 50 mph and closing in on the residential areas right before they hit the north part of Seattle. It took him straight back to high school where he took Piper out for a ride after hearing she didn’t have a date for prom before asking her himself as they both sat on the ground over a clearing as the sun set. Now that he looks back at it

She giggled softly, returning the kiss lightly. “Dear, if we don’t go, you’re gonna lose your work ethic.” Piper slipped off of him, then grabbing his hands and pulling him upward.
“Well, if you insist.” She sighed teasingly, gently running her hands under his jacket and pushing it off of him.
At this point he no longer cared about his work ethic, with a beautiful woman on top of him he’d gladly throw away any ethic if it meant he’d be getting laid. The problem was that they’ve adjusted to this life so well, Brent was obscenely great at handling money in a business and had earned the respect of those working for him, getting laid wouldn’t be a good enough excuse to throw it all away. As she took his blazer off he leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips, and then helped her with the rest of the clothes, fitting into his old clothing with ease and a smile on his face.
Oh man did he miss this.
In one swoop he picked Piper up and carried her all the way out to the car showering her with tiny kisses down the side of her face and neck. “You ready baby?”

“Alright, honey.” She replied, continuing through their clothing until she found the wanted items. As he napped, she took the opportunity to get ready. Her dress was exchanged for the dark blue and white polka dotted halter top, her old jean shorts, and a simple pair of red heels. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a bun, in order to keep it out of her eyes.
Quietly, Piper moved to the bed, straddling him with a grin. “C’mon, hun. Time t’ wake up.” She purred, leaning down to kiss him. “I got your jeans and everythin’ all laid out for ya.”
Brent opened his eyes and looked up at Piper on top of him, he put his hands on her waist and began to gyrate her hips on his, “Now I don’t wanna get up, babe. How about we take the day off and spend it in bed or something?” Cupping the back of her neck he brought her face down to his and gave her a kiss.
“How about you help me get undressed and then we’ll dress each other up again?” Piper should know by now that him waking up to her straddling him would make Brent extremely lazy and on intent on doing one thing. “Whaddya say?”

“I think we still have a few. I could find some of my old jean shorts, too. Maybe a halter top?” She mused, smiling flirtaiously. Instead of pulling him downstairs, she started for their room, her skirt swishing with each step. To be honest, she missed the way they used to dress. Now that they were the heads of a mob, they had to look classy, 24/7. It was rather tiring, but as long as they were financially stable, Piper didn’t mind that much.
Walking into their room, she let go of his hand and walked to the closet, beginning to go through racks and racks of clothing. “Let’s see…” She hummed.
Brent smiled, “Yeah, I like that top on you.” She looked adorable in anything but it was the first gift he had gotten her when he took her shopping at the mall, it gave her innocent look a little edge and it made him want to push her up against a wall and kiss her until they were both gasping for air. Once they were in the room he sat down on the edge of their king sized bed, sinking into the pillow top and the down comforter that covered the mattress, slowly he lay back as he watched Piper go through everything in their wardrobe and tossing their newer clothes to the side to find the things that they were looking for.
“Baby, let me know when you have it. I’m going to rest my eyes before we go for the ride, alright?” Any type of paper work made him exhausted, he just wasn’t used to the whole sitting down and getting things done, especially with the whole try to make this business look like a real tax paying one that’s not suspicious in anyway at all.

“Of course I wanna go!” Piper giggled, standing and fixing her dress. “And I’ve been dyin’ to see Abby.” Taking him by the hand, the younger woman began to pull her fiance out of his office, grinning brightly. “We could take the Caddy like we used to. Hell, I bet I could even find your old leather jacket.” She mused. Of course, she didn’t bring up his class ring. She always wore it, even to that day. It still hung around her neck on a thin gold chain, sparkling as brightly as ever.
“C’mon, love. We could make the day of it! It’ll be wonderful!!” She exclaimed, draping her arms over his shoulders.
“The leather jacket, huh?” Brent mulled the thought over,it had been a while since he had been able to wear it since he moved up in the game his outifts had to make him look like a classic businessman. Well tailored suits and everything, the whole making sure you look classy all the time was killing him. His past had absolutely nothing to do with all these nice clothes, the nice car, the big house, the beautiful woman pulling him out of the room by his hand– but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t accept it with open arms.
“It’d be nice to wear that again. But did we throw out my old jeans?” There wasn’t any way he’d wear the jacket with dress pants, apparently, the move and everything gave him some sense of dignity fashion wise.

She tilted her head so she could look at him properly, her lower lip being stuck out in a pout. She loved this life, she really did. There was nothing better than the thrill of getting pulled over by the cops, only to be let go after a few minutes. “Honeybee..” She sighed, moving to sit in his lap, her legs draped over the arm of his chair. “I got a real serious question for ya.”
Piper paused for a moment, biting a bright, ruby red lip. “Where’s the next run to? Cause if we go back int’ Seattle, I was thinkin’ that we could maybe make a few stops.. Back to that little diner we always went to.. Maybe to our old high school..?”
“Got a movement of barbs bein’ dropped off in a couple hours.” He said, “I could tell them that I got it taken care of if you really wanna go.” Brent wasn’t a fan of the old neighborhood they both went to school in but his little sister was still in the area and it had been way too long since he’s visited the place.
“You sure you wanna go?” The older one asked as he got up from his seat and walked around his desk so he was in front of Piper. “Just say the word and I’ll get somebody to start up the car.” Kissing her nose, he watched her smile and nod in response, besides it would be fun as hell to go back to the little drives they used to have normally ending with sleeping with each other in the back seat of his Caddy.
