FEW WEEKS AFTER GRADUATION

"Wake up, Sophia." Calvin shouted into my ears.

"Damn dude! Let me take five." I croaked.

" You've been saying that for the past two hours, woman." Calvin exclaimed.

" It's your fault. You kept me up till three last night." I groaned.

" Yeah, like you didn't you enjoy what we did last night. I think it was you asking for more if I remember correctly." Calvin spoke.

"You're so cocky sometimes." I said having nothing else to reply since he was correct.

" That I am baby." he said while giving me his best wicked smile.

"Now go take a bath. we have a lot of work to do. If you do remember, you're going to marry me exactly one week from today." Calvin said.

" How can I ever forget that Calvin." I looked into his eyes.

Calvin leaned towards me and kissed me fervidly, taking me in for a surprise.

"Okay mister, control yourself. We don't have time for anything more than that."

"So you can sleep for extra two hours and I don't even get a proper make out session, let alone have sex."

"That's right." I ran towards the bathroom.

"Damn Sophia, wait till I have my way with you."

We were getting married next week and honestly we have been swamped with work these past few weeks. With Calvin taking over the European companies, he's been working ten times hard. But I'm glad that we are going away for our wedding. It would be relaxing for Calvin and for me too.

I have finalized my wedding dress from Kleinfeld's. It was so damn hard to select one since they all were extremely beautiful. Now we are almost done with everything. Our bags are packed with all the stuff we might need. Now we just have to get on the plane three days from now and reach Santorini. I still can't believe I'm having a BEACH WEDDING. Well, dreams do come true and all the credit goes to my Calvin.

WEDDING DAY

I woke up to this beautiful sunrise in Santorini but sadly Calvin was not beside me this time. Well we're going to spend the rest of our lives together so it doesn't matter. I'm such a dramatic bitch sometimes.

I slept with Emma last night and Calvin with Michele. Both our families and close friends were here. That's all we needed. Calvin decided to throw a wedding party for his clients and some other important people when we get back to New York.

Calvin and I hadn't seen each other since yesterday. Yes, we decided to do it the traditional way. That means he can't see the bride before the wedding.

I had to get ready in four hours from now and I had just woken up. Actually, last night Emma threw me a surprise bachelorette party. It included me,her and some of my friends and cousins. Surprisingly there was a stripper too. I hope Calvin doesn't get to know about this or I'm sure he'll kill him. I really don't know how Emma managed to get a stripper in such a short span of time. Well my best friend has her own ways.

"What are you doing by the window Soph?" I heard Emma's voice.

"Oh, I'm glad you're up. You have to help me get ready now Emma."

"Sophia, one of the best makeup artist from New York is here to get you ready. Why don't you let me go back to sleep." Emma said with her half opened eyes.

"I think you're my bridesmaid so I can ask you for anything."

"Yes sir. Please give your orders." Emma said.

"You need to wake Calvin and Michele up. I think they have had a lot to drink last night. And remind them that they have to get ready and check all the preparations."

"Okay I'm going to their room, meanwhile you take a bath so that we can get started with your hair and stuff."

"Yeah I'm going for a bath. Also Em, don't say anything about that stripper last night. Calvin will hunt him down."

" Like I'm gonna touch that with a ten-foot pole, Soph. I know Calvin and Michele. It's dangerous enough if even Michele finds out about that stripper."

The rest of day went by quickly in doing makeup and getting ready and now I was waiting outside the church with my Dad by my side. I was wearing A- line sleeveless bridal gown with cascading tulle skirt. It had a lacy structural bodice and a sweetheart neckline which hinted the right amount of cleavage. I felt no less than a fairy.

I always thought that this day would bring me so much nervousness but I had it all wrong. I was so calm and happy to no limit. I felt like this was the best decision I ever made. I've never been so sure about any other decision like this before. Well guess that's what true love does to you.

I made my entry walking down the aisle with my dad as I saw my handsome man. He looked dapper in that black tux. He held out his hand to hold mine as I reached the altar and I couldn't help tear up a bit noticing his teary eyes. He was trying best to hold back his tears but I could see through them. I mouthed 'I love you' and he did the same. The priest started the ceremony and I couldn't take my eyes off of Calvin.

After we spoke our vows to each other , Calvin kissed me for first time as my husband.

My husband. Surreal. I understood the meaning of this word today. It's like you keep imagining things thinking this is not ever gonna happen and then it happens , taking you for a surprise. That's the true meaning of surreal.

After all the shenanigans we headed back to our hotel but not before throwing back my flower bouquet. I intentionally threw it towards Emma. I know I had my back but I know where she was standing and I was secretly hoping that she catches. And she did!

"You're so witty , Mrs. Smith." Calvin winked at me.

Mrs. Smith. Yep that's me.

"Thank you Mr. Smith." I gave him one of my smiles.

" Shall we?" Calvin gave me his hand after we reached our hotel in a fancy ass car. I took it and we went to our honeymoon suite but Calvin stopped me before I could cross the threshold.

" What?" I was confused.

Suddenly Calvin bent down and lifted me off the ground and into his strong arms and I let out an unpleasant shriek.

" Put me down Calvin. " I pleaded to him.

" Sorry Mrs. Smith, can't do that. Stupid traditions. " He gave me a wicked smile.

" Stupid my ass." I lightly smacked his head and laughed. He joined me and carried me inside.

The room was beautifully decorated and illuminated by candles. Calvin laid me gently in the middle of the bed and hovered over me. He kissed me lightly and whispered close to my lips.

" You are mine Mrs. Sophia Smith till death do us part."

My heart just turned into a mush.

How cute are these two lovebirds. I'm so happy to announce that these two are FINALLY married. But this isn't the end yet. We'll be uploading another bonus chapter for our loyal and lovely readers. So stay tuned.
