liv spent the day trying on dresses for maddies wedding & bridal shower & rehearsal dinner.

the weddings over the summer but the bridal party is this weekend so she stayed in jersey after the wags trip for a few days.

she agreed to show me her purchases.

she told me to stay in the bedroom and she will try them on in the bathroom.

the door clicked open and liv stepped into the room and i got my first glimpse of her.

"babe-" i stopped myself because i was at a lose for words.

shes gaining weight back and is getting more comfortable in her own skin again.

she smiled, "do you like it?"

stood up and walked to her, placing my hand on her hips.

"i love it! im just at a loss for words." i gushed, looking over her body.

she leaned into my body so i hugged her.

"this is the rehearsal dinner dress." she told me.

"why are you crying?" i asked.

"because i feel pretty for the first time in months."

"you're beautiful. always have been & you always will be." i said, kissing her head.

"what color is this?" i questioned, trying to change the subject.

"blue, its a little darker than the one you love but, isn't it so cute?"

"do a spin for me babe." i said, taking a step back to examine her.

she spun around quickly.

i chuckled, "now do it again but slowly this time."

she took her time and i noticed a button in the back that wasn't clipped.

"wait, theres a button." i stopped her.

i carefully looped the button into place.

"there you go."

she turned and smiled again.

"does it get better than this? because we started at a high point." i said.

"do you want the bridesmaids dress next or the bridal shower dress next?" she questioned.

"kinda want to see the bridesmaids dress at the wedding."

"like a first look?" she narrowed her eyes at me.

"yeah." i nodded.

"this isn't our wedding." she joked.

"oh i could make it our wedding very soon actually."

she laughed and turned around, going back to the bathroom.

she reappeared a few moments later, in a hot pink dress.

"i love this one!"

"isnt it fun?" she smiled.

"very."

i admired her for a second.

imagining her in the dress with her hair & makeup done.

"make sure that when you wear this next week, you send me a picture."

her cheeks flushed red.

i pulled her to me and leaned down to her ear, "and if you just happen to send a picture with no dress on, i won't be mad."

she giggled and stepped back.

"now i want to see the third dress."

she scrunched her nose. "you know, its a good thing you want to see the dress at the wedding because i don't have it."

"oh." i sighed.

"but i have a picture of me in it." she said.

"no i want to be surprised." i said.

"fine." she went back to the bathroom and a couple minutes later walked over to bed in one of my shirts.

"you can also send me pictures of you in my stuff."

"stop." she laughed.

"im being serious." i said as she crawled into bed.

i love having her here with me.

i love being anywhere with her really, i miss sleeping with her all the time.

when were together in bed sometimes she wants space but i can't always give her that because im always cuddling her.

"jack why are you like up my ass?"

"im not ready for you to leave me." i said, placing gentle kisses on her neck.

"its only 3 nights."

"thats 3 nights without you."

she sighed and played with my hair as i fell asleep.
