Title: a good friend knows all your stories, a best friend helped you create them…
Summary: Michelle, Marjan, and Nancy get to listen to Carlos and TK’s vows before the wedding when they realize they are actual soulmates having the same opening speech…
It wasn’t every day Carlos ran over to his best friend’s house unannounced. He usually did call but this kind of thing couldn’t wait. The police officer knocked on the door loudly, hoping she was home. When he knocked again even louder, finally someone opened the door.
“Iris!!” Carlos shouted hoping she’d remember him and be okay in remembering.
Michelle was doing such a good job taking care of her but he knew she could still have an off day.
“Carlos?” Iris said softly in question letting him inside, “I haven’t seen you in a very long time,” She let him inside and offered him a piece of gum, and immediately Carlos took it knowing that gum was her way of staying calm.
“Yes, it’s me! Thank you for the gum, please tell me Michelle didn’t leave you alone,” He popped the gum in his mouth and looked at her protectively too.
“Oh no she didn’t, she’s just outside with our new puppy, come on let’s go surprise her,” Iris encouraged as she dragged him outside calling out for Michelle to show off whose hand she had.
“Carlos?!” Michelle gasped and turned around and practically leaped into his arms. “What are you doing here?” She was speechless. She just missed him so much.
“He came to see you, duh!” Iris grinned and took a seat down as the puppy jumped in her lap.
“I am so glad that he did, thank you for answering the door, Iris… for what do I owe this pleasure though with no phone call to tell me you are coming?” Michelle asked curiously making Carlos sit down.
“My vows are finished and I need you to hear them, be the first person to hear them!” Carlos got out the crumbled piece of paper from his back pocket making a little face.
“Oh my god!” Michelle clasped her fingers over her mouth and bounced in her seat.
Carlos laughed as he watched his friend almost fall over. “I can’t believe this is even happening that we’re even doing this…that TK even asked me to marry him…I…” Carlos started to tear up a little.
Iris leaned over and handed him a tissue.
He ended up laughing a little.
Michelle then swatted him, “Oh stop being a sap and just read me the vows, please…I am dying to hear them.” She collected herself.
Carlos said ow but then nodded and cleared his throat and began his speech.
By the time he was finished both Michelle and Iris were in actual tears themselves. “That is going to make everyone sob, oh my goodness.” Michelle hit him again, “I’m going to hear them again and still be a sobbing mess and I’m going to be thinking about them the entire time I am on my way there…”
Carlos sniffled with a little laugh, “I just can’t wait for TK to hear them and have him know just how much I love him,”
“Oh he’s going to be a mess, I hope he doesn’t go second, he’s never going to recover.” Michelle sniffled.
Carlos took a deep breath, feeling so proud of everything he’d written down to tell TK when they got married, he really didn’t think they were as good as Michelle had raved but the fact that he got her crying - he figured they most have really touched her.
“Carlos, you and TK are soulmates and I am so damn happy that this is really happening. Remember when he was just a 10 and ghosting you?” She nudged him.
Carlos pouted, “Don’t remind me, I still feel like I’m sitting on that couch sometimes and it was all just a dream and soon I’m going to wake up from it…”
“Na, I learned a lot from TK before I left, I even knew how much he was into you but afraid to say anything…right up until I left…and I’m kind of sad that I don’t get to work with him now knowing he chose to be a paramedic!” She mentioned happily.
