Turning back time ((Lance<3))

[lance warren wright]

"Pshhh and receive the full wrath of Rachel Miles again?....no thanks." He said rolling his eyes as he laughed when she made the comment about him leaving Roxie by herself. When she commented about the vows he took a sharp intake of breath. The vows. Something that made his brain freeze. He had so many things he knew he could write down and they would be amazing, but he wasn't quite sure on how to put them in the perfect context. Lance couldn't obtain the perfection he wanted he had rewritten them about a dozen times, "Great..." He lied through his teeth as he smiled down at her trying to see if he could get that past her.

He doubted he would get it past Rachel, but it was worth a shot. He took his arms off of her and took a seat in the sand pulling her down onto his lap. He placed his arms around her putting his hands on her knees and started to trace small circles on them as he thought more about the wedding. He had been so nervous about it lately. He sure hoped he wouldn't be the one to get cold feet especially after being here where so many bad things had already happened. He placed his forehead on the back of her shoulder blade as he let his mind run. He knew he couldn't bring up his wedding jitters to Rachel cause he didn't want her to become worried about his feelings and everything. Lance knew he would have to talk to Ava about it or something. He couldn't throw more weight on Rachel's shoulders it just wouldn't be right.

Rach smiled when Lance pulled her down into the sand, ontop of his lap. "The full wrath of Rachel Miles, hey?" she asked with a curious smirk. When she heard him answer the question about the vows, she frowned. She knew Lance well enough by now to know when he was lying. "Seriously? Because by the looks of it.. they're not going great.. don't forget who you're dealing with here. I am like the master of detecting lies" she said with a smirk. "If it makes you feel any better.. mine aren't going that well either.. it's so hard!" she said, with a frustrated sigh. Maybe Ava could help her out with her vows, she had always been the better writer between the two. "Listen.. i wanted to ask you something.." she added at the last second.

He laughed as she had figured him out just as he thought she would have. "I figured I couldn't get it past you, but I had to try." He said smirking as he rested his chin on her shoulder he leaned in a bit and kissed her neck lightly before looking back up at her. "Good i'm not the only one then." He said when he found out he wasn't the only one having trouble. He had been trying for the past few days, but every time he finished and reread it he just tossed it in the trash. He never thought it was good enough. He had to think of the best for the best. "Maybe we'll start a new tradition and do no vows...just ask where the beer is." He said jokingly as he chuckled a bit as he knew that wouldn't go over well. "Just kidding i'm sure the words will come to me when I attempt to write them...again." He sighed thinking about the countless hours he had tried writing. He got a curious look on his face when she said she wanted to ask him something, "Shoot." He said nodding for her to continue.

Rach laughed as she listened to Lance talk, and then smiled a bit awkwardly when it was her turn. "Umm.. i didn't know if i should tell you this, or how i should.. but i can't not tell you. Okay, the other day, i ran into Kennedy at the pier.." she started, first waiting to see what his response would be before telling him what the two had talked about. She figured Lance would be shocked by this, seeing as she hadn't spoken or seen Kennedy in over two years. She looked into Lance's eyes as she waited for him to talk.

Lance felt like something had been caught in his throat. He knew he couldn't bring up his run in with Kennedy at the hotel cause it was less than graceful to say the least. He put a shocked face on cause he truly was, "Really?....that's crazy." He said not knowing what else to say without giving something away. He figured that wouldn't have gone over well and hope Kennedy didn't say anything about their run in. He figured she wouldn't since there wasn't too much of a conversation except yelling back and forth. Though for some reason he knew he shouldn't bring it up to Rachel and make her question him even more. "How'd that go?" He asked cocking an eyebrow as he put on a sympathetic look for Rachel cause he knew he would probably feel bad. It was his fault the two girls hated each other....well Rachel hated her anyways and i'm sure Kennedy didn't take that lying down.

Rachel groaned. "Horribly.. she totally bombarded me, seriously. I felt like i was being attacked.. she just keept saying all these horrible things about me and you.. and us being together and how you're an asshole for not being in your sons life.. and so on.. eventually i told her to fuck off.." she said, telling the whole story in a soft, yet angry voice. Rachel couldn't keep having reminders of Kennedy, she had almost forgotten about her since the move to New York. She wished she could erase her from her memory, and have it be like she never even exsisted.

"Lance.. i need you to promise me something" she said, in a louder voice. She turned her head around to face him and put one hand on his check. "I need you to swear to me.. that you'll never cheat on me again.. ever, not with her or anyone else. I need you to never see her, or be with her alone.. If you're sleeping with someone, it had better be me.. if you can't make this promise to me, then i can't marry you. This is it, it's time to make a choice" she said softly.

Lance looked into Rachel's eyes as she spoke to him. He knew how much he had hurt her the last time. He took her hand as it rested against his cheek and kissed it lightly, "I promise." He said quietly hoping he could keep that for her. He promised himself he wouldn't cheat but he knew he had to get a few thoughts in his mind straight and knew he would have to talk to someone other than Rachel about them cause they would just upset her. He didn't want to upset her he hated seeing her sad, but there was only far he could go. He would try and see if anything else in this world would make him happier and if he couldn't find that he would know he didn't have anything but Rachel. Lance was a mess. He was keeping everything inside of him and not speaking to Rachel because he couldn't hurt her again though he knew by not speaking to her he might lose her forever in the end. He had a lot to think about before the wedding. He knew that much.

Rach smiled and kissed him softly. She was satisfied with his reply and smiled into his lips. After she pulled away she turned back around and looked out into the water, watching the waves move. She closed her eyes as she smiled to himself. "The one bad thing about New York.. is no beach" she said simply, still keeping her eyes shut. Rach had always been a big beach fan and the fact that her current living destination didn't have a beach made her very sad.

[lance warren wright]

He laughed lightly as Rachel spoke about not having a beach back home. He knew how much she loved it, "Yeah well I can tell you one thing I sure do miss the cold weather back home." Lance had always been a fan of cold weather opposed to warm. He loved to surf here but he could always do without it. He rested his chin back on her shoulder as he looked out at the water with her. He traced small circles on her thigh as he held her in his lap. "How are your parents?" He asked curiously having not asked her about them yet. He would definitely have to go with Rachel to see his soon to be in-laws.

[sparkleoats]

((I hate this whole suspense, will he call off the wedding or not? It's killingg me..!!))

Rach smiled. "Yeah i know you do.. they're good.. Lily's good too" she said with a smile as she thought of her family. "Have you seen Aiden yet?" she asked curiously. She turned around to look at him as she thought of his brother and how the two were not on the best terms. She also frowned as a mental image of Kennedy from the other day popped into her head. She shook her head and tried to think of something else. "By the way.. where are you staying? Or will you stay at my house?" she asked with a smile. She obviously wanted to stay wherever he was, she knew Lance was always welcome in her parents home, especially since the two were soon to be married.
