Short Story by: katey 1111
Eight years old wearing his daddy's hard hat
He grabbed the water hose
Says he saw the fireman do it like that
His wagon was his ladder truck
He pulled it around, and at the top of his lungs
He'd make a fire engine sound
In The Dream
He is more than just a hero
More than anything he ever wanted to be
In The Dream
There's a world that lasts forever
And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything
In The Dream
Fumbling through the attic
She found her mother's old wedding dress
She said someday she'd wear it
And wouldn't mama be impressed
She can just about imagine what everyone would say
When her knight in shining armor comes to carry her away
In The Dream
She's as pretty as a picture
More than anything she ever wanted to be
In The Dream
There's a world that lasts forever
And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything
In The Dream
On the one side of the isle
Sits all her family
On the other side are all his friends from Engine 53
When she looks at him
I wonder if he knows
To her he's still the boy she met 20 years ago
In The Dream
He's more than just a hero
She pretty as a picture
Like they wanted to be
In The Dream
There's a world that lasts forever
And life is so much better than it seems
Close your eyes you can be anything
Close your eyes you can be anything
In The Dream
I looked down at my beautiful new wife, Emily as we
danced to our first song on the day of our wedding.
Her dark black hair was in loose curls, moving over
her face as the wind blew. The rest of our lives had
began tonight, when we said i do.
I had been so nerves when i seen her walk down the
aile on her dads arm. I was shaking like crazy! When
she got to me, and took my hand as we said our
vows, i was praying the whole entire time that the
preacher would hurry up before she changed her
mind.
Emily looked up at me with a smile on her face, "I
love you." She whispered.
My heart lept at her words. You would think after
dating for five years i wouldn't be surprised to hear
those words leave her lips. I never thought in all my
21 years she would ever love a reckless crazy
firefighter like myself. "I love you more." I whispered
in her ear.
When the song ended, i kissed her and led her to
our table. Some of the guys from the fire station and
her family were already seated at their assigned
seats at our table. I watched her laugh when my
brother, Caleb whispered in her ear telling her some
thing.
Her laugh was sweet as honey. Her beauty put me in
a trance every time i looked at her. I put my arm
around her shoulder as every one began talking
about how wonderful the wedding was and, how
they always knew her and i would get married.
Every one seemed to be so sure that we would wind
up getting married, when we were kids. Emily, and i
grew up two houses down from each other, and
never staid far away from each other. Our moms had
been best friends since being little, so they had all
ways wanted us too get to together some day.
It took me until i was 17 to ask her to go on a date
with me, to my surprise she agreed. A couple
months after our first date she'd told me she always
had a crush on me but, was scared i didn't feel the
same way. I'd told her that I'd always felt the same
way about her but, i was scared of the rejection she
might would have given me.
I watched as, Emily talked about how hard it was to
plan such a wonderful wedding. She looked
beautiful in her mom's old dress. It fit her perfectly.
She looked so much like an angel wearing it. I
couldn't believe i was going to spend the rest of my
life with this amazing woman.
"Honey, are you ok?" Emily asked, as she laced her
fingers with mine.
I smiled at her, "Enjoying the view of my beautiful
wife." Her cheeks blushed red.
Emily's, best friend and made of honor, Amber got
up from the table and, walked over taking the mic
from the wedding DJ. "Can i get every ones
attention?" She called over the mic. Every one
looked up at her as she made her way to stand in
front of Emily, and I. "I think it's time for the
speeches." She laughed.
Emily looked up at me smiling as she kissed me.
God, her kisses could never get old. I was so in love
with my best friend.
"First off i would like to say, Mason you are one lucky
guy to be married to my best friend. Hold on to her.
She loves you more than anything in this world." I
smiled up at Amber, and nodded. I knew i was a
lucky guy to have her here next to me. I planned to
be her night in shinning armor for forever.
"Emily, i really don't know where to start." Tears
streamed down Amber's face. "But, girl you have
been there for me through every thing and, when i
say this i mean every thing! God, i didn't plan to cry."
She wiped away her tears with her free hand. Every
one under the wedding tent began to laugh.
"I'm so thank full that Mason finally got the balls to
ask for your hand in marriage! We all knew it had
been coming since you guys were like four!
Thankfully now your husband has his head from up
his ass." A roar of laughter filled the night. There
were a few "I know that's right" and few "About
time!" coming from the 150 people.
Emily, busted out laughing, nodding her head at her
best friends words. She knew just like i did that it
had been a long time coming. I just never found the
right time until 8 months ago to ask her to marry
me.
One of the guys from the fire station high fived me.
"I know you guys will have a wonderful, and a full life
together, and i love you both!" Amber handed the
microphone to my best man, and fellow fire fighter,
Kyle the Mic.
****Emily's POV****
When Mason's Best friend Kyle took the mic i looked
over at my handsome husband laughing. I knew this
speech would be the best one of the whole entire
night. Kyle, always had this way of telling crazy and
funny stories, some times stretching the truth allot.
Kyle, and my new husband. God, calling him my
husband will never get old! Any way, Kyle and my
husband had been best friends since Mason joined
the fire department here in Hynesville, Georgia.
Every Friday night when all the guys in their
company were off they would be at Mason, and I's
home grilling and watching the football or baseball
game on TV.
Kyle began his speech, "The first time i met Mason,
was about 3 maybe four years ago. He was a rookie,
and well most of the people here tonight know what
it's like when their company gets a new guy." The
guys all start yelling, and laughing.
I've heard a speech so similar to Kyle's at so many
fire fighter's weddings before. They were all as funny
as this one would wind up being.
"Here i was thinking, Oh yeah we got a newbie to
mess with. Turns out though, he could dish out
worser than what we could. One night at the fire
house our boy, Mason here decided it would be fun
to play a joke on us guys.
So when we all fell asleep, he was busy putting every
ones boots by there beds. Well as we all are in a
good nights sleep, the fire stations fire alarm goes
off. We all jump out of bed, and realize the whole
entire room is smoky, and hot as all hell.
We all look down, and realize our boots are on fire.
Now here is this huge fire blazing right next to me,
and While we all our trying to put out the fire on our
boots i look over at the door and see Mason
watching and laughing." I have to admit i was in
hisarics laughing, but i sure wasn't the the only one.
Every one else was laughing as well, including
Mason.
"I have to admit, Mason pulled off the best fire
house joke ever, and after that we all came to know
Mason, a little better. Hes one hell of a firemen and
friend. Emily, you have one good man, even if he is a
total dummy. Love y'all and congratulations." Kyle
held up his glass and toasted us.
Kyle handed the mic over to Mason, and patted his
shoulder after mumbling something in his ear.
Mason, looked at me as he stood up, and pulled me
up on my feet to face him. "Emily, I love you with all
my heart. I know i can be stubborn and annoying,
but you love me any way. Thank you for marrying
me, baby. And thank you for being the love of my
life." I looked up at Mason as tears streamed down
my face.
I wondered if he knew he was more than a hero, and
my true love. Hes my night in shining armor. I put
my hand on the side of his face, and kissed him with
everything i had in me.
