They decided to record the song which Erica was going to feature on first since she had commitments to work and couldn’t be around 24/7. The song was called Kiss Me Again and was a lovey-dovey kind of song. Erica sang her parts to perfection as she listened to the already recorded backing track through her headphones. She could see that the band we were watching her through the studio window. They all looked really pleased with what they were hearing which made Erica feel good about herself. She really did hope she wouldn’t fuck up the album for them.
“How was that?” She asked nervously as she exited the isolation booth and entered the control room. “FUCKING AMAZING” Vic said pulling her into a tight embrace. “I can’t wait to play this song live!!!” Tony shouted.
“Wait live, what? I don’t think I can perform live” Erica got nervous again. “We planned on making this one of the first singles we release when the album drops” Jaime told her.
“Guys, do you really think that’s a good idea?” “No, we think it’s a fucking great idea” Mike said he cupped Erica’s face with his hands before kissing her.
“Okay guys get a room” Jaime messed. “I have a whole house, see you later” Erica laughed as she took Mike by the hand and lead him next door. “I swear his dick is going to fall off at the rate they’re going” Jaime jested before returning to messing with some of the buttons on the control panel. The band had decided to stick with Jaime and Erica for producing the album because they wanted a more natural feel to their record. Not something that would be over produced by someone who didn’t give a fuck about the music and only in getting a single sold.

Mike and Erica had made it up to her room where they were now enjoying a passionate make out session on her bed. Erica planted a kiss on the tip of Mike’s nose and got up and moved over to her closet. The weather had suddenly got really hot and Erica decided she would change into something more heat friendly.
They had been together for just over a month now and Erica could safely say it had been the best month of her life. She has never felt more alive or happy than she has the past weeks. She now has the greatest new best friend in the form of Jaime, the best boyfriend ever in the form of Mike and two amazing, brother like friends in the form of Vic and Tony. She knew that her decision to move to SD instead of Chicago was the right choice. She knew that everything was going to be perfect. Or at least she hoped. She knew not to have too much hope though because too much of anything, especially hope, can be a dangerous thing.

It was the first Saturday that the band and Erica have been back in Reading and Huw had invited everyone out to dinner. He was taking everyone to Aubrey’s favourite Chinese restaurant in the town centre. When they got there, they were given a party table and everyone began perusing the menus. Soon a waitress came over and took orders. The night was really chilled and full of alcohol and laughs. Just before desert arrived Huw announced that he had an important speech to make.
He was sitting at the head of the table so everyone was able to see and hear him perfectly. Well as you guys know, I proposed to Aubrey a couple of weeks back and she said yes. Now we’ve made the decision to get married soon. As in, 3 weeks soon. We realised that neither of us are getting any younger and we know this is it for both of us so we wanted to tie the knot as soon as possible. The point of this speech is to invite you four to our wedding. You have become such a big part in all of our lives over the last month or so and it wouldn’t be right if you weren’t there. The date of the wedding coincides with you still being here, recording so please come and celebrate this day with us?” Huw finished. There was a chorus of ‘of course we’ll come” and not long after desert was brought to the table.

3 weeks later – the wedding.

The boys had been in Reading for a month now. They had one month left of recording but so far this was the most exciting day they have encountered. Huw Simmons was marrying Aubrey Clelow. They were both super nervous but they were good nerves. Erica was a bridesmaid, Trent was to walk his mother down the aisle and Mike had been asked to be one of Huw’s groomsmen. He needed Mike to make the ratio of bridesmaids to groomsmen even. He would be walking down the aisle with Erica, obviously.
“You look amazing, Aubrey. My dad is going to have a fit when he sees how perfect you look” Erica gushed as she handed Aubrey her bouquet. “Thank you Erica. I can’t wait to finally be a Simmons” She giggled and adjusted her dress just slightly.
“Time to go” The wedding planner called through the door. They made their way to the back of the church. Erica got in line next to Mike who was looking so handsome in his tux. “You look fucking beautiful, E” Mike admired Erica. “As do you Michael” They shared a quick kiss before linking arms and walking down the aisle. Huw had already seen Erica when she went to check on him about half an hour earlier, they took a father-daughter picture and shared a brief moment to remember Caleb. He would have made the most adorable page boy.
Aubrey finally made it to the end of the aisle and Huw couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. Not that he wanted to. He was truly happy and the woman that stood before him was just as happy. Throughout the service Mike and Erica couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. Mike knew how much Erica hated the idea of getting married but he couldn’t stop his mind wandering about what she would look like in a wedding dress and having everyone make a fuss of her on her big day. A smile crept across his face and it made Erica’s heart pound almost out her chest. She really did love his smile; it made her weak at the knees every time.
Before we knew it “You may now kiss the bride” Was announced and the church exploded with cheers. The newlywed couple strode down the aisle and into the back rooms of the church.

A couple of hours later and the speeches had just finished and everyone was starting to dance. “Erica come dance with me?” Mike practically begged. “No, I hate dancing. I am not getting up there again” She said again because she had shared a dance with her father earlier in the evening. “Fine then, Aubrey may I have this dance?” Mike asked in as much of a gentlemen’s voice as he could manage. She accepted his offer and they made their way to the dance floor. Mike was such a softie at heart. Most people mistook him for a thug who only cares about whiskey and sex but he could actually be really sensitive.
The night went on and many offers to dance being refused later, Erica was hammered drunk but still fully functional. She finally caved in to Mike’s persistent requests and danced with him. She was such a bad dancer but she managed to pull it off.
“Look how happy she is” Huw pointed out while everyone sat at their table watched the pair move around the dance floor. “I’m so glad she has someone that makes her happy” he was holding back tears from how emotional it was making him. Erica was the apple of is eye and he could see her growing up and moving away right in front of him. He knew he would never lose her but living in a different country would be difficult for him. Well for the both of them actually.
Mike’s hands were on Erica’s hips and hers were around his neck. They were staring in to eachothers eyes. Erica was smiling so wide. “I love you” Mike said. Erica didn’t know how to react at first. This was the first time Mike had said this. This is the first time anyone other than someone in her family, or a friend has said this to her. She leaned in a kissed him lightly before saying “I love you too” against his lips. His smile grew so wide that his face might have been able to split at any second. They kissed again before Mike added “Until the end of time” Erica liked the sound of that “Until the end of time” She held out her pinky finger to make the promise. Their pinky fingers looped and they kissed the other persons thumb to seal the promise. They kissed again, this time more passionately. They were both glad the reception was held in a hotel. It meant they didn’t have to drunkenly walk for ages to get to a room.
They went back and joined the group at the table. Erica had taken a large slice of wedding cake and was feeding Mike and herself. Everyone had noticed how they were being even more cute than usual but never said anything but just smiled endearingly towards them every so often.
