“Fucking hell,” was my brother’s blistering response when I told him about my plan to marry Nixon, “That’s a bit hasty.”

His reaction wasn’t a surprise. I wasn’t stupid, I knew our decision to get married was fast, but we were in love and not of the puppy variety; the real, deep, all-consuming type. Genuine affection.

Mattie had been sitting in his computer chair playing on his PS4 when I knocked on his door. I now had his full attention which was new, you usually had to have a conversation with the back of his head when he was gaming. Mattie swung his chair around slowly and dropped his controller, an item that would usually need to be surgically removed from his hand.

Those shrewd blue eyes of his were now looking at me as if I had grown two heads. I lifted my feet from the floor and shuffled further back onto his bed, sitting there cross-legged, my hair falling over my shoulders like a golden waterfall.

It was first thing in the morning and the bed had already been made. Mattie wasn’t like most men his age; he didn’t live like a pig. His place was always spotless. He resided in a separate annexe from the main house above one of the garages. It was a small bedsit but perfect for one person. He was the eldest after all and with three sisters, he needed his privacy the most. It was a shame he was so settled, as the bedsit would have been perfect for Nixon and I. I didn’t really relish the thought of moving in with Nixon and his family. Especially his brothers but what could I do?

“Dad will shit a brick,” he unhelpfully pointed out, folding his arms across his chest.

“I don’t care. We love each other Mattie,” I explained, rocking my body on the bed, feeling slightly agitated. I was testing the water by telling Mattie first. He was the most chilled out of all my family members.

Mattie’s eyes continued to roam over my face as if he was looking for something, “When did you become so ballsy and impulsive?”

I dashed a hand down my face, not enjoying the scrutiny, “Being with Nixon has toughened me up. Made me fight for what I want. Plus no one is getting any younger,” I explained with a huff.

“You’re twenty, Jenna, so I don’t think that one applies. How old’s your intended? He can’t be much older than me,” Mattie ejected hotly with an edge of sarcasm.

“Almost twenty-eight,” I confirmed.

He tilted his head, his frown deepening, “So he’s twenty-eight. What’s the fucking rush. I’m sure everything will continue to work for a few more years. You don’t have to get married, well, at least not yet. It’s too soon.” His words brought about a sense of sadness as not everything in Nixon did work, thinking of his injury.

I didn’t agree with him as I knew how I felt. For me it had always been Nixon, “I get that, but why wait? We both know what we want.
