[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[KneelingAngel]

"Sure." Clay says and picks Effie up. He walked out and turned to Justice. "If anything happens, you let us know."


Justice nodded in understanding and headed back to James's room where he was asleep. She walked up with him with a tired sigh and tucked him in again. She looked at him with worried eyes and brushed her fingers through his hair. "I love you." She whispered and kissed his head before taking a seat in the chair beside his bed and falling asleep herself.


Clay arrived home and parked the car before carrying Effie inside. He walked up to their room and placed her down in the bed. "Just rest, okay, darlin'?" He smiled and kissed her head. "If you need anything just call. I'll be right back." He said and walked out of the door.

( went back to bed lol.


Time skip. James has just gotten out of rehab. It is about a week before the wedding. )


Effie sat in the car with Justice and Clay. She tapped her fingers as she listened to music on the Radio. She was tired she hadn't slept the past few months she stayed up worrying about the wedding and her sister. She yawned and watched as James ran out and over to them. He got in the back of the car smiling. " Hey guys."He said smiling. He kissed Justice on the lips they had worked a lot out while he was in rehab, especially when she would visit they would just talk and talk.

[KneelingAngel]

"Hey babe." Justice smiled and kissed James back . She was so happy that she had given him a second chance.


Clay helped Effie out the car and kissed her cheek. He knew she was a bit nervous about the wedding, hell, so was he, but he couldn't wait to see her walk up to the alter. "You alright, darlin?" He asked as he watched James and Justice interact. It was good to see them happy again. It was a lot more fun to see then them fighting.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie was helped out by Clay.She nods." Just tired Love. I mean the wedding is only a week away.I am excited scared happy and about a million other emotions."She says. She wrapped around him and sighs. " your marrying a crazy person. "Effie says


James smiles. " hey babe." He kissed her and pulled her close." How you doing beautiful? "He asks. He looked her over. She seemed to be okay.her hair had grown back. She didn't seem to be in much pain.

[KneelingAngel]

(They're at the mason right?)


Clay laughed. "I know, and I love it." He smirked. "We still have to tell the others about our plan by the way." Clay mumbled in Effie's ear so that the other wouldn't hear him. Everything was well again. James out of rehab, Justice was healed completely, the wedding was planned, now they just needed a time to tell the others about the house they had found.


"Stop it." Justice laughed and pushed his face away. "How do you like my new hair color?" She asked with a smile and showed off her new colored red hair. Now that her hair had grown back she could finally color it again. No half colored stupid hair dyes anymore. Not that she didn't like her hidden blond hair, she just liked the other colors better.. And besides otherwise she would look too much like Effie.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

( yeah sure )


Effie smacked Clay on the arm and scoffed at him.when he made his remark about loving it." Mean"she said joking. Effie gets serious when he tells her that." Yeah I know love." She said she bit her lip. She didn't want to tell them quite yet but she knew they had to. Effie sighed and walked for the mansion with Clay." Oh I forgot I have something for you."Effie said happily. She smiled at him and bit her bottom lip.


James laughs and sighed. It waa good to be out and be sober. James looked at her hair." Hmmm you look like a strawberry. " he teased. " no I like it looks good on you. But then again I always love your hair colora. Not as much as I love you. So how are things the wedding going okay?"He asks


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Clay got curious and raised a brow. He liked surprises. "What you got for me?" He asked and watched how she bit her lip. He loved that look on her and he was going to mary this next week? He couldn't wait!


"Good, good!" Justice beamed and smiled at the fact that he called her a strawberry. She would take that as a comment. "They chose the wedding cake today and it is going to look awesome! How are you feeling?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into him.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie smiles and grabs his hand. She pulled him along to there room. She had placed the box on the bed before she left inside was a picture frame of the two of them on the beach and new drumsticks leather bound for him.Effie let him open it as she went to the bathroom to change into a swim suite she had her bikini on today. She needed some color before the wedding.


James pulled her closer and out of the car." Good love he said. And what kinda cake?"He asks. " I am feeling alright doll face."He said. He closed the door and lightly pushed her against the car. He held her there smiling.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice smiled back. "I just helped them do the design, I don't know the flavor." She said. "I just know that it has six layers." Justice moved her hand up to James's face and caressed his cheek. It was so good to have him back! Justice grabbed his chin and pulled his face closer to her's so she could place her lips on his. She grabbed his collar and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss. How she had missed this while he was in rehab.


Clay smiled at the present, there was nothing better. He walked after Effie and grabbed her waist as he spun her around and kissed her lips. "You're the best." He smiled and looked her up and down. She was beautiful. "I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress." He smiled and kissed he cheek. "Decided on who to walk you down the isle yet or are you going to walk alone?"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie squeaks as he grabs her waist and turns her around. She kissed him back and smiles. " nah your the best I am just little old me."She says" oh good god I have to pick it up still."She said. She had almost forgotten. "And walking me down the aisle Mac is actually. "She said and laughs. "That will be interesting. "


James smiles and laughs." Of course my love." He smiled at her and looked her over. He was glad to be out and actually holding her. Wjen she grabbed his chin he laughed and kissed her. His kiss deepened as gently pressed her against the car.He slowly pulled away. "Maybe we should take this to your room."He says


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Clay laughed as well. "Of all people." He smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, Mac loves you to bits. He won't let you fall." He said. "As for that dress, we can have Justice get it for you. She'll do anything for you." Clay was actually quite proud of Justice. The girl had planned the wedding all by herself and it couldn't have been easy with James in rehab. He couldn't wait to see the finished product next week.


Justice laughs. "Maybe we should." She smiled, but then remembered something. "Ah crap, I forgot that I had to go to the florist to check on the flowers." She whined and threw her head back. She hadn't done anything with James since he had come back from rehab. "You can come with me, if you want." She said with a apologetic smile. "You don't have to if you don't want to though. I also have to get the wedding dress and my own dress. Did we get you a suit?" She asked, not really remembering if they had done that before rehab.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie laughs." Well yeah, but man has been like a father to mem thats true let me call her. You change into a swim suit. Yes it is partly cause I want to see those abbs and partly cause were going swimming."Effie said. She grabbed her phone to call her sister. Effie listened to it ring.


James shrugs." I will go with you babe. And I don't have a monkey outfit yet."He said and laughs as her phone rings.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice picked up her phone and rolled her eyes when it was her sister. "Dude, I'm right outside." She said. "I'm gonna go out a bit though, I need to check up on somethings and get the dresses, plus a suit for James. It's not a monkey suit." She said to James as she pulled the phone from her ear. "What did you want to call me about that was oh so important that you couldn't come downstairs."


Clay just smirked and put on his swimming trunks and waited for Effie to stop talking on the phone.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie laughs. "I am not dressed to come out there and well I was going to ask about the dresses but you got it. Your the best sis."Effie says and hangs up. She turns around and jumps clay. She wrapped around him." Hello Handsome. "Effie smiles.


James laughs and gets in the car. He leans back the seat and takes the keys.he would drive. " where to my lady?" He asks with a grin.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Hello yourself." Clay smirked and tossed her a shirt to cover up. "As if I'll let anyone see yo like that." He said and winked, pulling on a shirt himself. "Let's go to the beach." He said and grabbed her hand. "You know what, maybe we should have looked for a house at the beach. Then we wouldn't have to take the care every time." He smiled and kissed her cheek.


Justice smiles and took a seat in the passenger seat. "Flowers first." She said and kissed his cheek before they drove off. "First the flower check up, then we go get your suit and then before six we need to have picked up the dresses." She counted the things they needed to do on her fingers. "We have to make sure that you get a dark red tie." She smiled.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie smiles at him and kissed him. She covered up."yeah we should of oh well.I like our place."She says. She kissed him and put the cover up on. She grabbed her purse and sunglasses. " come on love lets go find a quiet place to play."She winked at him and walked out the door. She got the butler to get them food and drinks. She waited on him leaning on the wall. She thought about everything that had to be done.


James smiles and drives off. He shook his head at her list." Oh babe I do love you."He says. He went to the flower shop, then the suit store. He made a face trying it on. He walked out of the dressing room." Now don't get use to this." He says


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Awww…" Justice whined. "But nothing looks better then a man in suit." She smiled. "Try the Hugo Boss suit too." She pleaded. She was probably enjoying this too much, but she couldn't help it. He was so handsome in suit, he should wear it more. Justice exhaled in delight. "If you wore a suit more, I would do anything you'd want." She smiled and walked up to the changing cabin. She stuck her head through the curtain and blinked her eyes. "Try the Calvin Klein one too?" Justice blinked her eyes at him, not caring that James was half dressed. "Be a piece of eye candy." She pouted and pulled her biggest pleading puppy eyes.


Clay got dressed and walked out of the room. He grabbed Effie's hand and lean her to the car that was readied for them. They stepped in and drove to the beach, to the spot that had become theirs. "Let's hope the Paparazzi doesn't show up." He said as he put the stuff down. The paparazzi had been on them like never before now that the wedding was around the corner. Even the other members were being followed.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie nods and sits on him in the car. She faced him as the drive drove to the beach looking for a private spot.Effie smiles at him."I am excited for next week babe. I love you so much. I dont know how to thank you enough. "Effie says and kissed him gently.


James made a face and tryed on both suits. When he had chnaged. She watched him. He shrugged and let her. He had abs so he wasn't to self conscious. He ran a hand through his hair and smiles at her with just the pants on. "So which one love?"He asks


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"The one you want." Justice smiled and looked around before getting into the cabin with him. She ran her finger from his belly button over his abs and up his chest. How she had missed those muscle. Her hand ran up his neck and into his hair, pulling him down to her so she could crash her lips on his. Justice didn't care if they were in public, James looked to good and was just asking to be jumped. Justice pulled herself up and wrapped her legs around his waist, pushing him against the wall of the changing cabin.


Clay smiled and kissed her back. "You can thank me by staying with me." He said and pulled her closer to him. "How did I ever get a beauty like you?" He asked and rubbed his nose against her's. "What was running through your head when you met me?" Clay asked her. "What went through your head when you agreed to go out with me? I used the cheekiest pick up line in the world."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James got suprised. He smiled and kissed her when she jumped him. James shrugged and turned so her back was to the wall. He held one hand on her back and one on her face.He kissed her and pushed her into the wall more. He let out a groan.he sighed and pulled himself away." Babe we need to get the dresses. And I have something to give you at home. I will take the Calvin Klein." He says and kissed her again.


Effie smiles "trust me I am not going anywhere babe as long as you don't go anywhere."Effie kissed him. Effie smiles. " hmm how did you get me. Well let's see you smiled in my direction and how could I not fall for that smile and sweet nature."She says"what was running through my head was how could a man like this even look at me."Effie says.She smiles. " the day you asked me to go out with you. Was the best day I have ever had besides the day you asked ne to marry you."She says. She nuzzels him. " I love you. "

[KneelingAngel]

Justice held him close, she wanted and needed him now. She wanted to do it here! "Then give it to me later." She said and unbuttoned his pants. "I would rather want something else now… Please?" She begged and pulled him closer. "Please Jamie." She said with a pout. "Please, I missed you. I don't want to wait until we're back home. If we're quiet, no one will know." Justice whispered and kissed him again. She didn't know where this feeling came from, but she just felt like she needed him. She wanted him close as possible and she wanted it now.


"I love you too." Clay smiled and kissed Effie on the lips. He went to lay down on the beach towel and pulled Effie with him so that she was laying on his chest. This was life. Beach, sun, a beautiful girl and a wedding around the corner. Clay sighed and ran his hands over her back and down her ass. He couldn't help it. Everything was just perfect about her. "You're the best thing that happen to me." He said and kissed her lips softly. It was nothing but the truth.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

He smiled and kissed her back. He groaned and pushed her to the wall. He kissed her and took the pants off.He stepped out of them and pulled himself closer to her and sighed. " No babe I am sorry. I want to more then anything but what I have yo do needs to come before this. Babe I love you and fucking want you, but not here let me do what I have planned. " he said.


Effie smiles down at him. Her hair went over to one side as she leaned over him." And your my hero or knight in shining armor however you want to look at it."Effie says.Effie kissed him and pressed happily against him.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice looked at him and nodded. "Okay." She said and let him go. She trusted him. She had learned that over the last couple of months to let him do his thing. Apparently it was important to him, so she had to let him do it. "We take the Calvin Klein suit." She smiled and grabbed the clothes she needed to pay for. "Get dress and we can go get the dresses before we head home." She smiled and kissed him quickly before she left to pay the clothes, shoes and tie.


Clay just smiled and closed his eyes with Effie on top of him in the sun. It was nice to just sunbath like this. "Did your mother reply to the invitation?" He asked, feeling a bit curious when he thought of the wedding. He knew that Effie wanted her mother there, even if it was just for a couple of minutes, and well.. He didn't really know what Justice thought about it, but he knew it wasn't too well with her on that. All Justice wanted was her sister happy so she had send the invitation.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

He dressed and let her pay. He walked out and shook his hair. He kissed her cheek and drove them to get the dresses, once done he got her home and took the stuff to the closet. He picked her up and took her to his room. " now stay sitting. "He says. He went to his closest and grabbed a box. James walked over and knelt infront of her.he smiles. " so since everything the hospital, I been thinking your my life and fucking love you. You make me crazy. So Justice Lock will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me." James says


Effie nods."yeah she is coming. "Effie says and sits up and lays next to him. She didn't really want to talk about it. She had slight frown on her face.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice did what she was told and stayed seated on his bed as James went to get something from his closet. She watched him with a curious frown on her face. What was he up to? Justice got her answer when James kneeled down in front of her with a small box in his hand. She had lost her breath. This wasn't something she had expected! Tears swelled up in Justice's eyes when he showed her the silver ring. Was this really happening? Was he really asking him to marry her?!


Justice dropped from the bed and hugged James close. "Yes, a thousand times yes!" She cried, tears rolling down her face. She pulled back and crashed her lips on his. It didn't matter if they had dated a little over a year. This was right. This was supposed to be, even with their differences and history.


Clay didn't say anything and combed his fingers through Effie's hair as he closed her eyes. "It's going to be alright." He mumbled and kissed the side of her head before he sat up. "Let's go for a swim." He said and reached out his hand towards Effie.
