Make Me A Promise {Vic Fuentes Fanfiction}
Moving Along
Anna's P.O.V.
It felt so good to be back in San Diego, we'd all gone home and me and Vic got ready for a night at his parent's house. "Vic what should I wear?" I yelled through the empty apartment. Mike had already left for Harmony's for the night. "Uh anything, you'd look beautiful in it all!" He said acting all flirty. "Yea so, I hope you know I'm wearing sweatpants, no bra and a t-shirt to your parents house..." I joked. "Just wear something casual. It's not like your meeting them for the first time." He said trying to convince me it was no big deal. "Vic she met me once! And that was it, and then you went and asked me to marry you!" I started worrying myself.
"Anna... She's the one who told me to marry you... You have absolutely nothing to worry over, besides she has a surprise for you."
"A surprise?" I was a little shocked and he just nodded leaving me sitting there to think. I finally settled on an outfit and found my way to the living room where Vic was. "See it wasn't that hard! Now can we go?" He motioned towards the door. "You know, you get hasty when you're nervous." I said in a sigh.
"Nervous? I'm not nervous."
"Vic," I took his hand. "you're shaking."
He looked down to find his hand moving without his control. "Oh shit... Here I am telling you to calm down and on the inside I'm freaking he fuck out. Anna I really do love you, it's just scary, I didn't realize spending the rest of your life with someone was scary." He let his head drop and he looked at the ground. I squeezed his hand and pulled him close to me. "Well at least we're in this together, trust me I'm a bit scared too, but I know you're the right man for me." I giggled and kissed him softly.
He smiled and looked at my eyes, I held his hand, letting my thumb trace circles on his. We hopped in my jeep and drove to his parents. They were instantly there to greet us by the door. "Anna! It's so good to see your beautiful face again!" His mother said bringing me into a hug. "Mrs. Fuentes! Same to you!"
"Please, you'll be Mrs. Fuentes soon, call me Vivian!" She said and pulled me in a hug again. She passed me off to her husband, grabbing Vic and practically choking him in a hug. "Hey Papa Fuentes!" He hugged me and we were on our way inside. "Mike should be here soon with Harmony and then we can dig in, until then why don't you two go on out back and we'll finish getting ready. His parents had a two person rocking chair on the back porch so we sat there for a while just swinging. He took my hand in his and we watched the sun set over the trees.
"Vic, Anna They're here!" His mother called form the kitchen. We stood up and walked in to find Harmony standing hand in hand with Mike. "Hey guys long time no see huh?" Harmony joked. "Not long enough!" Vic scoffed back, running at his brother. They began to entertained themselves with a play fight, soon joined by their father. "Men..." Vivian sighed. "May not like them all the time, but you can never hate them. You young ladies will learns one day." She smiled and made her way to the kitchen. "Here I'll set the table." I said, and took the plates she was carrying. "I'll help!" Harmony grabbed the silverware, set out in the kitchen. While our men finished beating each other we sat down at the table and waited for their mother to finish the stew she had going.
"So Anna, you excited?" Harmony asked me.
"About the wedding?" She nodded. "Well yea I am... and nervous I guess, but the wedding's not gonna be for a while... I never even thought about my wedding day growing up, I was too busy worrying whether my mom was okay or if I needed to give her her meds... It was never really on my mind who I wanted to marry, or when, I never even thought about love, just if a guy liked me, and he was decent, I would go out with him." I sat in silence remembering the countless guys who would crowd around me at school, I never had any real, girls to call my friends. They all thought I was a whore who slept with all of the guys. The only reason I ever went to parties was to get drunk, to forget my life, to forget the hell of trying to go on, when you know your mother is dying.
"Anna...Anna?" I heard Vic's voice echo through my head. "ANNA!" He said yelled snapping me back to reality. "Huh? Sorry..." I shook the thoughts out of my head. "Diner's ready, and mom has to tell you something." He said and sat down next to me. My bowl was filled to the brim and I ate every last bit of it. "So what was it I was being told?" I asked his mother, she wiped her mouth and giggled. "I got you an appointment this Friday, at a bridal store to pick out a wedding dress, that I will be fully paying for no matter the price." She got all giddy, obviously she'd been waiting forever for this opportunity. " You don't have to pay for it! we can do that ourselves mama!" Vic said sounding concerned."Vic! I have waited long enough for this day. You keep your mouth shut and let me enjoy this." She barked at her son, he sat back in his chair and threw his hands up in innocence.
My mouth gaped open, I haven't even thought about the Venue for the wedding, let alone a dress... What do I do? Next thing I know, it was as if Vivian had read my mind. "We'll have a nice little private beach wedding, I've already asked a friend of mine if I could borrow her beach house, and the you and Vic can figure out the honeymoon plans!" She winked at me and Vic, He rolled his eyes and Harmony and Mike laughed. "This is no laughing matter! But you'll never know that Michael! You'll never get married and I thought Vic was a hopeless cause as well... " She sat back in her chair and sighed," you have no idea how much of a blessing you are Anna." When she said that my whole body had a chill run through it, not a scary one, but the ones that leave you completely happy with goose bumps.
I think I almost started crying, I felt the same love from Vic's mother that I'd felt from my own. She was the spitting image of my mother in personality, my mother never liked who I dated, she was always protective of me, always supported... but mentally doubted I'd get married. She doubted my ability to trust a man after my father left, but Vic, Vic you can't not trust that smile or those big brown eyes. And his arms, they hold me so tight that I know he'll never let go. My mother absolutely loved him at first sight, that's never happened for anyone I dated.
Friday came faster than I'd expected, Vic and I had confirmed the beach wedding and also the date. We'd get married the week we were in San Diego, on Warped tour, so that all of Vic's friends were in one place and We'd only have to fly my half of the family out of Texas.
We all met up at The Fuentes Household, Lizzie was going along with me and Vivian to shop for my Wedding Dress. I got there and the consultants went into a frenzy of things, asking questions, taking measurements, hanging dresses in the fitting room for me to try. Lizzie went out to wander through the dresses, she came back with one in her hand. "You can't see it yet until you've tried on the rest!" She hung it behind the other dresses and left to let me change.
After going through about six I didn't like I'd finally made it to Lizzie's. It was short, like me, but perfect for a beach wedding. I tried it on and pulled the zipper to the top, I instantly fell in love. I didn't exactly know how this moment would feel, but it sent butterflies through my whole body. One lonely tear fell down my face and I knew this was my dress. When I walked out for them to see it, Vivian exclaimed in happiness. "Oh my God! Anna You look amazing!" I couldn't stop smiling. Lizzie stood up and took a picture sending it to someone, and about two minutes later a call came. She put it on speaker.
"ANNA BABY! YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!" An oh so familiar voice squealed through the phone. "SHELLY! I'm glad you like it! Liz picked it out!" I yelled back at her. After about a fifteen minute conversation with my favorite waitress I change back into my clothes and we picked out the brides maid dresses as well. Lizzie was our model, she found a peach strapless dress that was perfect.
The Fuentes boys had been taken on a fishing trip with their father, so I left for the apartment. When I got there, boxes were piled by the door, Mike was moving in with Harmony so I and Vic could have the place to ourselves. I sat on the couch and turned on our TV, I flipped through channels for a while until there was a knock at the door. I looked through the peep hole and to my surprise, none other than the whore stood there. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?
I opened the door just a crack and she frowned at the sight of me. "Where's Vic?" She asked. This chick has balls if she is gonna ask ME where Vic is. "Not here..." I shut the door and turned to walk away. "I just wanna talk!" She yelled through the door. I stood next to it and leaned on the wall. "Like I said he's not here, and he wouldn't wanna talk to you anyway! You do know we're engaged right?" I heard her gasp on the other side of the door. "Prove it!" She yelled. I stuck my ring hand through the door and she let out a shriek. "VIC'S GETTING MARRIED!"
"Yea, I am." I heard a male voice on the other side say. I instantly swung the door open to find Vic standing there sweaty, and obviously pissed. "Why are you here Molly?" He said in a monotone voice. "I came to... apologize... I guess. But also to warn you of someone..."
"Someone, the only someone right now that's bothering me is you and I would appreciate it if you left me and my fiancé, alone." He said and walked past her into the apartment. She looked hurt and then she jumped as if she'd remembered something. I was closing the door and she yelled through the small crack a name I'd never heard of. "Cara!" I looked at Vic who had stopped in his tracks. He turned around with a pure look of shock. "What about her?" He opened the door again.
"She's in town... and she's... well she's..."
"Spit it out! What is she doing here?" He looked her in the eyes and it looked like he was about to burst from anger. "She's telling everyone it yours..." She said in a jumble of words. "What?" His mouth dropped and I could see him getting week at the knees. She tried to comfort him. "I don't believe her, but a lot of locals are hearing it, and it's getting around and fast." I touched Vic's shoulder but he pushed my hand away. I gasped and looked at him shocked. " I'm sorry Anna not right now." He hugged me and pushed his way back into the apartment. Molly followed in suit and I closed the door.
"Alright that was uncalled for, and secondly five minutes ago you were pushing her out the door, now we're welcoming her into OUR place?" I yelled locking the latch. He sat on the couch, he was pale (as pale as a Mexican can be) and he was staring straight, you could tell a million things were running through his head. "Alright may I ask who Cara is, and what is his?" I asked but instantly realized what was his. "YOU HAVE A KID!?!" I screamed out, I covered my mouth when Vic looked at me, his eyes filled with hurt. "I would have told you if I did!" He cupped his face in his hands and shook. "Cara is my ex, before Molly, she's just pulling a stunt that's all, it's probably because of that song..." I thought through all their songs in my head, trying to pick it out.
"One Hundred Sleepless Nights...Or CARAphernelia, or both?" I said to him who only nodded, which meant both I guess. "One Hundred Sleepless Nights must have sent her over the edge." He said in his hands. "Well I'd be pissed too!" I yelled at him. He only laughed a little, he stood up. "Where is she at?" He asked Molly. She rolled her eyes. "The little bitch is crashing with Grayson, the kid's with her, in my opinion she looks nothing like you. So I don't think it's yours." She crossed her arms and walked towards the door, taking one last peek at Vic, she slipped out and slammed it behind her.
"Alright, let's recap... Molly, your ex, knows Cara, your ex, who is saying that you're the baby daddy to her kid, but you really aren't." I looked at Vic who just nodded. "She's staying with a guy named Grayson, with the kid and that's where we're going now?"
"You aren't going." He said being blunt.
"Like hell!" I jumped up from the couch he walked into our bedroom and grabbed a towel.
"I'm taking a shower and then I'm leaving to go clear thing up, and you just need to stay here, Cara will tear you apart from the inside out, she's a bitch."He said in my face. "Well I'm not going to let you go to your EX'S house alone." I said grabbing a hold of the towel in his hands.
He yanked the towel making me fall forward into his arms, the impact was so hard we fell to the ground. I sat up on top of him and he just laid there staring at me. "What?" I asked him, a little mad for making us fall. "Nothing, it's just that you look kinda cute when you're jealous." He smirked and sat up with me in his lap. "I am not! I'm the one with the ring on my finger, she's got a baby and a bad sense of getting back at people." I laughed in his arms, he had rested his head on the back of my neck and was breathing softly. It sent chills up and down my spine. "I love you. And no one else, there is nothing in this world that could make me change my mind about you." He said in a low raspy voice, making my insides twirl. "I can't wait to call you Anna Fuentes."
That was the end of that. "Cara can wait till tomorrow." I pushed him back and yanked his shirt off. He let a smile wipe across his face, I sat back and admired the man that was mine. Then I lunged forward pressing our lips together in a kiss. "I love you too."
Christmas was right around the corner, Sunday in fact, and I still hadn't found him a present. What do you get a man who has everything he needs. I questioned myself all night until I fell asleep, that night, I dreamed the perfect idea.
It felt so good to be back in San Diego, we'd all gone home and me and Vic got ready for a night at his parent's house. "Vic what should I wear?" I yelled through the empty apartment. Mike had already left for Harmony's for the night. "Uh anything, you'd look beautiful in it all!" He said acting all flirty.
