the distance of our souls

Chapter XIX- Settlement

       Our life was almost complete. We did it, we had our home. Our beautiful big cottage house with animals filled on the inside out, and just a perfect lifestyle we lived. August made her business into a studio in the town near, and i worked two blocks from her at a Cane's restaurant. We made perfect timings for everything, starting from waking up together, to watering our plants. Everything was going smoothly. Most days we tended to become stressed less often, and when so, we had our own ways to avoid it. Most friday nights we'd release ourselves through spreading our legs open... if you know what I'm on about. :3

Me and August started really loving life, with everything complete, everything perfect, everything the way we've always dreamed with peace and pure love.

So, with that being said..

In the year 2032, when August would be 23 and i would be 21, i took my girlfriend out to a park right before the clock struck midnight, it was august twenty second at that moment before twelve, and we sat underneath a tree, one where we had a longing beautiful kiss together at once before, and we loved it there. I sat her down on a picnic blanket, and gave her a glass of wine, while we started just talking about memories, getting deja vu, reliving our best moments together.

At 11:59PM on august 22nd, i got down on my knee while her eyes gazed the stars, waiting nervously for her to naturally look at me rather than calling to her. The ring was silver, it had a rose gold rose on it, and it costed a lot, but her reaction was worth way more than that money or price. She turned to look at me, i looked pretty decent, because i wore a red dress, and some light makeup with my hair all done, so she looked at me often, looking me up and down. This time, she looked at me and shot up in astonishment. "Oh my gosh. Lucia,  oh my gosh." I heard her utter out.

"Aj, August. I really really love you, and i've never doubted that for one second. I am so starstruck over you, and i'm so so happy you've stayed in my life for this long, for nine extraordinary years, mostly throughout our teenage years, and though we had our ups and downs , i never ever pictured myself living this life without you. May we please live like princesses and have our happily ever after with me?" I said while kneeling, my heart racing, sweat dripping and anxiety chasing me.

Out of nowhere, August leaped on me and hugged me. She nodded her head with tears running down her cheeks, with her arms around my neck. I hugged back, knowing she'd finally be mine forever. The most amazing feeling ever. I felt like i witnessed fireworks and sparks everywhere.

Fast forward to May 2033, the month of our wedding. We decided it would be in a garden near a beach, only about twenty seats were there, not really big wedding, which i didn't mind too much, because it was meant to be celebrated between me and her, not anyone else. We did it on the coast of  Louisiana, an hour away from the town we lived at our first few years of moving im together. Very lovely place.

During the ceremony, once it began, me and my princess walked down the isle in our beautiful dresses, hers was a very light shade of pink, mine was very white. The rings were gorgeous, actually, our moms picked them, and they understood what they were meant to do. I was so nervous-excited, i felt very emotional too. I looked up at my bride, tears were filled in her eyes. She looked so beautiful, her hair down and red everywhere, her crown of roses holding her veil, her body, her smell. My tears slowly seeped out from looking at how beautiful she was. I truly was only able to imagine our future babies. The millisecond i heard the officiant let us know we could kiss our brides, i let August kiss me first, thinking she wouldnt actually, but to my flabbergasting , she did it so. That was it. That was the moment i realized, i was now hers. Hers. But like i was now labelled, hers. She showed me proof that i belonged to her, she made feel like i was meant for her and no other, she was perfect. August was perfect, she always would be.

Post wedding, we went a beautiful retreat. We went to Cuba, we stayed on a resort near the most beautiful beach. It was fascinating and a wonderful experience there, i enjoyed the trip a lot. It was wholesome and adventurous, also cozy and safe. August wanted a lot or relaxation because she was still going through the heavyweights she felt from her depression and the wedding. I was very much okay with it, so we evenly did half n half. Half the honeymoon would be going out (3 days), and the other half  (4 days) would be staying in our hotel room, and it was worth doing so, since we bought the luxurious room.

The first night was just pure cuddles and talking all night. We were overly happy and too overwhelmed to do anything remotely crazy. The second night we spent, definitely had some, well, freak. We went pretty much all out, since during the day we just pretty much enjoyed the beach and went to a restaurant. The third day, we went to a love festival that had been going around there traditionally, it was pretty awkward but me and my wife had some pretty fun laughs while we tried to make sense of what was going on. The fourth and fifth day we pretty much just ended up staying in the hotel, going to a fancy and a fast food restaurant, taking a dip at the pool in the hotel, and just relaxing together while doing our little singing at night. :p  Lastly, the sixth day we spent on the beach, but on more of the western side, where there was a bar and waves to play in. It was just an amazing honeymoon, i wish we stayed there, but i sure did miss our cottage home, along with all our babies who had been taken care of by my little brother. I couldn't wait to go home.

I was set on cooking and princessing my bride with our own cheaper more effort put meals. My wife was excited to harvest food for me, and she was excited to work together again, at longg last. I couldn't have agreed more, i forever will keep a special place in my heart forever for that trip and the week back. I loved having a wife. The most perfect one too.
