Ace of Hearts | The Sequel

thirty-five.

Omniscient
Montego Bay, Jamaica

Nadia was seated on a pillow that was placed on the floor in between Chris's legs as his fingers ran through the parts of her braids applying oil to it and massaging it. The two stayed in Jamaica an extra week longer just celebrating their recent engagement on a love high.

The announcement hadn't been put out yet and Nadia was definitely thinking about it since he put the ring on her finger. Chris on the other hand forgot all about having to announce it.

"Why the fuck it's so many parts in this shit and better yet why you get these braids so motherfucking small?" Chris asked getting frustrated only making her chuckle.

"Because it fits my head and last longer than jumbo and stop cursing, you can't say a single sentence without it being a curse word in it." He rolled his eyes happy she couldn't see him do it, "But I might take them out sooner,"

"...I hope you don't ask me to do this shit the whole time we married," He spoke letting his Virginia accent come out and she let out a laugh even though he was dead serious. The last thing he wanted to do was have grease her head if she was going to get braids small again.

"First of all, I didn't ask you. You volunteered so that's on you," She smiled and he rolled his eyes playfully still loving the intimate time they was sharing even though he didn't like the activity at hand.

"And speaking of married....when do you wanna plan it?"

"I don't know to be honest. I don't even know where people usually start at."

"Shit, I haven't even been to a wedding so my own is finna be my first." He said while continuing to run his fingers through her hair.

"Mm, it's fun in my opinion. The reception is the best part if they have good food."

"We finna ball the fuck out on that shit. I'm talking seafood, steak- I want a five star chef." Chris smirked just thinking about how fat he was going to get on his wedding day. "But in all honesty...we could just get married at the court-"

"Hell no." Nadia turned her head to glare at him and he raised his hands defensively, "I want a wedding. Something our future kids can look on and see a moment between their parents, I know I always loved doing it with mine. Plus Stephen would kill us if he don't get the chance to walk me down the aisle. Noriah didn't and he still mad."

"I was just talking because I can't wait...which brings me back to my original question," He said and she hummed shrugging making him sigh.

"Like I said I don't even know where to start at but I do know we have to be engaged for some time. I don't want us to rush anything and then shit gets fucked up,"

"Absofuckinglutely. This a one and done thing for me so if we don't work out...I'mma kill myself."

"Shut up, you're so dramatic." Nadia laughed even though he was being dead serious and she lowkey knew that. "Maybe we should get a wedding planner-"

"Nah,"

"No?" Nadia turned her head to look at him confused.

"No. Sorry but I don't want nobody getting in between on what we think our special day should be. I think it should be something you and me just really sit down and plan out completely for however long we need to so shit can be perfect. I want this to be the best day for not just us but our families as well."
