You are my Fire

Chapter 11

Sodo led Ashley into more quiet area. Journalists were in shock that they shared such information just like that, but it didn't stop them from asking questions. Sodo just turned and said
"That's really all, guys." And they kept going "I'm proud of you. You did it and you didn't have a panic attack or fainted."
"Yeah, it wasn't so bad..." Ashley said
"Ok, now we have to tell rest of them."
"If they don't already know." Ash laughed "You know how fast word travel."
"Yeah, I don't think that it does that fast." They found them waiting at the entrance
"Och good, you're all here. Ashley and I have to tell you something." They all looked at them bit scared "Come on, what's with those faces?"
"We're just scared what happened this time." Rain said
"Geez, nothing happened. Why would you say that?"
"Expirience." Phantom answered
"We just wanted to tell you, that we've settled the date and invite you all 30th of April into Barcelona for our wedding." Sodo said slowly. They all exhaled with relief. "Also, we informed the press about the date. Just date, so please don't tell anyone where we gonna do it."
"Seriously? Why you did it?" Mountain asked
"well...we thought that if we'll do it first, no one will bother us and digging in our lives and plans." Sodo made story short
"Ok, that's...brave." Hayden said "Understood. Thanks for invitation and congrats" He smiled.
"Thank you." Sodo said "I believe we can go now." They went out to the fans. Ash left bit behind and waited for them. She was happy that they could finally start planning. They didn't have much time to prepare everything, but she also didn't want to wait any longer. Few minutes later Sodo was back and they got into a car and into hotel.
"So, we're going upstairs to change and we're going to a bar?" Copia asked
"Yeah, we'll be there in a minute." Rain said. Ashley and Sodo went into their room.
"So...it's official. I hope you not gonna postpone it again." Sodo said
"I didn't postpone it. There wasn't enough time to do it after all that happened."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. But I really hope that this time it all will work..."
"Babe, I know you've got some kind of trauma after I left you." She said with guilt "But I said I'm sorry and I will never do that again." She felt again that pain in the chest and shrinked a bit.
"Are you ok? Is it again that pain?" Sodo asked
"No, something pinched me, probably a bra." She lied.
"Really? Or you're hiding something again?" He asked
"No, I'm not." Ash mumbled "I'm ready."
"So am I. Let's go." He said and led her downstairs. All of them were already there and when Ash and Sodo walked in, they all yelled
"Congratulations!"
"Och wow...that's rather unexpected." Per said "Thank you, thank you." They all raised their glasses
"We're all waiting impatiently for the day." Copia said. They had a little party that night, so they all were bit tired next morning. Sodo woke up first like most of the times. He looked at sleeping Ashley and was thinking that it will really finally happen. Ashley started waking up also
"Why you're looking at me like that?" She asked with her sleepy voice
"Like what? Like I'm looking at the love of my life?" Sodo asked and kissed her
"Like you didn't expect me here." She said
"Och no. It's more like I can't believe that you're real and you'll be my wife, Mrs. Eriksson." Sodo answered "That sounds amazing..."
"Yes...It does." Ashley said kissing him back "It's like dream come true."
"Really? I am your dream? This is your dream?" Sodo asked bit surprised
"Of course, silly." Ash said and sat on the bed "Och, you still don't understand...ok, let me explain." She started "I told you once before that I had a crush on you back in the days. It was a crush because there was no way that we'll ever meet each other, not to say fell in love. But crush it's all about the dreams. That somehow we'll meet and really fell in love in real you not imagined person." Ash tried to explain the best way she could. "And here we are, getting married in few weeks."
"Yeah...I didn't think that it will end up this way when we've met..." Sodo said
"Sure, you just wanted to fuck me." Ash said
"Och come on! That's not fair! I wanted to fuck you because you're hot, but I also felt that you're more than that." Ashley laughed
"So much more, that Jutty had to call and ask did you did it."
"Seriously, you're pain in the ass. You could probably finally forgive him that." Per laughed and got up from the bed
"Och, believe me, I forgave him long ago. He's my best friend. Yes, including you."
"Really? Than I believe I must kill this shithead. I want and must be your best friend."
"Dream on, Eriksson." She laughed and ran into bathroom. Sodo smiled and shook his head. How things had changed in those few months. From biggest enemy suddenly Swiss became her best friend, a girl from security became his most precious person in the world and they're getting married. She had work on her trust issues and there's no sign of them anymore. Bandmates are not avoiding him anymore and they can actually have fun together, he finally feels that he found his person and place in the world. Unbelieveable. And she'll be soon his wife. Most incrediable thing. 'Mrs. Eriksson that sounds just amazing...' Sodo thought.
