Read Online Keeping Their Love (Griffin Brothers #7) by Crystal Perkins - Free Book Online Page A

wife. I’m not
ashamed. Because real men do cry. I kiss her when I’m told I can, pouring all my love and
gratitude into that press of lips. I feel it right back from her.
    We break apart because
we know we have to, but we don’t let go of each other. Everyone’s
clapping, and we turn to smile at them before heading through the
castle to the other side. The tables are all set up next to her ride,
and I’m glad I have at least a couple small surprises for her.
After we pose for pictures with everyone, I tell them that we need to
go for a quick ride, but we’ll be back soon.
    “We get to go in our
own boat?” Alex asks, her eyes lighting up.
    “Yeah. I wanted to do
something else, but I couldn’t.”
    “This is perfect.”
    We get into our boat
and she holds my arm tight as we hear the music. It’s so freaking
cute how excited she gets. She’s only been on this ride around a
thousand times. This is definitely the best time, though. Because I
can kiss her freely. Which I do. We pause so she can look at those
crazy dolls every once in a while, but we get plenty of kissing in.
The ride’s over too soon, and I help her out of the boat.
    We rejoin everyone and
go to sit at our little table for two. Alex gasps when she sees the
balloon with the message attached to it, just like in her high
school. I called her old school and made a donation in exchange for
an authentic one. I wrote the same thing I said to her at the altar
on the paper. I also got her a big heart full of chocolates, and a
little cheap necklace like she described to me. That was probably the
hardest thing to find, but I did it.
    “It’s perfect,
Miles. All of it is perfect. Thank you.”
    “I’d do anything
for you, Xandy. I want you to know that,” I tell her as I put the
necklace on her.
    Minnie and Mickey make
an appearance during dinner, which thrills the kids. And us. Who am I
kidding? We love taking wedding pictures with them. We cut the
beautiful Disney themed cake and feed it to each other before hitting
the dance floor. We share our first dance to “You Are in Love” by
Taylor Swift. After, Alex dances with Gary and her uncles, and then
it’s my turn with my Mom.
    “I’m so happy for
you, Miles.”
    “Thanks, Mom. I’m
happy, too. I’d be happier if you stopped ignoring John.”
    “Miles!”
    “What? He likes you.
And I think you like him. You need to go for it.”
    “He is nice.”
    “And you both live in
Chicago.”
    The song ends and
before she can stop me, I walk over and hand her off to John.
“Thanks, Miles.”
    “Just treat her well,
and we’ll be good.”
    “Not a problem.”
    “That was sweet of
you, King,” my wife tells me when I have her back in my arms.
    “They’d be good
together, Xandy. Not as good as us, of course.”
    “Of course.”
    “I love you, Mr.
Corrigan.”
    “And I love you, Mrs.
Corrigan.”
    We eat our cake and
dance some more. Alex tosses her bouquet, and we’re all a little
shocked when Stella catches it. Aiden catches the garter, but after a
glance at Ellie, opts to put it on Stella’s arm and not her thigh.
Smart man. We make our getaway soon after, and I’m surprised when
Alex steers me away from the front of the park.
    “Where are we going?”
    “Our room.”
    “Is that way,” I
say pointing behind us.
    “Not tonight.”
    I let her lead me to
New Orleans Square, but stop her as she starts to climb upstairs. “We
can’t go up there. Someone already has the room. I tried to get
them to give it to me, but they wouldn’t. I’m sorry.”
    “They wouldn’t give
it to you, because they’d already given it to me.”
    “What?”
    “I bought the room
from them. They told me someone else called after. I figured it was
you, especially when you came to me after and asked to change our
wedding day.”
    “Wow.”
    “I would’ve told
you, but I was a little nervous. I knew you’d really wanted this
room the first time we were here and I was happy to get it for
tonight. But then,
