SKYLAR
Stark raving nuts that's Talon; I mean seriously, who gets married at the drop of a hat? my man is gonna make me crazy. Though I'm secretly thrilled at the idea I'm also scared shitless, what if we get into trouble? what if we're breaking some kind of law or something? I know he wouldn't listen he's so damn hot headed. I bit my lip and tried to think of something we could do that wouldn’t get anyone in trouble, dad hadn’t mentioned a contract when we asked, but Robert seemed pretty sure of himself and Talon was right. Dad was acting kind of strange about the whole sordid mess.
"See what I mean you're worrying about this shit." He started pulling on his hair like a crazy person. There was a knock on the door and Olivia came in with a garment bag over her shoulder.
"Skylar dear, if the caveman that is my son doesn't object I think this dress would be perfect, unless you brought something suitable for the occasion?"
"Uh no, no wedding paraphernalia, I didn't know I was getting married this weekend."
"Well this might need a little adjusting but I have someone ready to get on it right quick. Your grandmother is already making calls there're going to be a few disgruntled people in town, it is a holiday after all."
"They'll get over it this can't wait."
"You always were a fast mover son, come on Skye, it's best to just let him have his way lets go try the dress."
"But, doesn't it bother you that your son is getting married in a rush to someone he only just met a few short months ago?" I looked back and forth between them still not quite sure that this wasn’t all a dream and I’d wake up and laugh with Talon about it.
"Skylar as time goes on you'll realize this family is very unconventional. Let's just say the Averys, especially the men, dance to the beat of a different drum."
"There you go babydoll it's the drums now go with mom and let me handle the rest."
He actually rubbed his hands together like this was a good thing. I followed his mother out of the room still in shock.
"I'm not sure I know what's going on, I mean what if we're making a mistake?"
Olivia took me into her rooms where she already had one of the servants waiting.
"Ingrid good you're here already we have to work fast and I know you're good on the sewing machine." They helped me out of my clothes and into the dress that I presumed was Olivia's. It was gorgeous but too long and a little too wide, not by much though. I still wondered how anyone was going to be able to adjust it with such short notice.
"Now to answer your question Skylar, do you love my son?"
I know the big sappy smile on my face gave the answer away before I could open my mouth but I couldn't help it.
"With everything that I am."
"Then believe it or not that's all that matters. I'm sure you know by now that Talon is a very take charge kind of guy, he likes things done a certain way, usually his. It's best when he gets like this to just stay out of his way, but know that you will never in all your life together have to doubt his love for you. He'll always put you first, no matter what. I can say this with all confidence because I've had the pleasure of witnessing the Avery men in action for quite some time and believe me, they're all pretty much true to form. But one thing you must know, we run the roost, they'll pontificate and bluster all day long but when push comes to shove their only concern is making us women happy and my dear girl you can't ask for more than that."
She made so much sense, but this situation was completely crazy, I mean who does these things? I'm a whole lot nervous right now, I don't know if I should call home or not. If I should try to get Talon to hold off, but knowing him nothing short of an explosion would move him from his position, but damn, this was all so fast.
My phone chimed just then with a text, it was him and he made me smile' stop worrying babydoll, it will all work out I promise.'
