Katsumi could feel something warm beside her, something warm wrapping around her. She could feel something stroking her hair, occasionally brushing on her face.
She lazily opens her eyes to find her fiance staring lovingly right back at her, smiling softly. "Morning..." she muttered, returning the smile before burying her face in his chest, pulling him close.
"Morning..." he replies, planting a kiss on the top of her head, stroking her hair, running his fingers through it. "So only two more days, hm?"
"Yeah... I'm excited." Katsumi smiles, "I didn't think we would end up like this, though."
"Neither did I... But that doesn't matter. We're here now in the end."
~*****~
"Good morning, Master! Good morning, Mistress!" The maids and butlers greet cheerfully as the couple walks down the stairs together, changed and cleaned up.
"Good morning. Is breakfast ready?"
"Yes! Hiroto is placing it on the table right now, please have a seat." the maids smile, leading the couple to the dining room.
"Alright, thank you." Keiichi nods, gesturing for them to leave. The servants obediently leave, grinning stupidly.
Some of them weren't able to sleep last night, but they were happy for their master and mistress, who seemed less tense, and happy.
"So what are the plans today?" Keiichi questions as he finishes a bite of his eggs. "Well... It's a Friday but I need to finish some work to get next week off. Especially since it'll be our honey moon..." she replies, taking a sip of her juice.
For a moment, a frown appears on his face, but disappears as quickly as it appeared, Katsumi not noticing anything. "I suppose... But can't you make room today? I had some plans for us..."
"Well, I don't think-" then her phone rings, cutting her off. "Hold on, excuse me, Keiichi." she says, getting up and walking out the door that leads to the garden.
Her fiance follows after her, listening to her converse as he leans against the doorway. "Really? Well, just get Asuka to do it. ...Yeah... Uh huh... Okay fine..."
Just then, she felt her phone being plucked out of her hand, and Keiichi had it up against his ear. "Listen, this is Keiichi, Katsumi's fiance. Clear her schedule, she'll be taking the day off today."
"Keiichi! What are you doing?!" Aki, Ktsumi's closest colleague and assistant, hears his boss' shouts. "Of course, oh and tell her that I'll be attending the wedding. Have a good day!"
"Of course. We'll see you there." Keiichi nods, grinning a little at his success. The cellphone clicks, and the call ends as Keiichi hands Kat's phone back to the lawyer.
"See? That wasn't so hard. Now finish up your breakfast, I'm taking you somewhere today." Pouting, Katsumi ignores him and turns away from Keiichi, puffing her cheeks.
"Come on, Kat." "No." "Let's go." "No!" "Fine..." the man sighs, then leans down. Katsumi, thinking she was about to receive a kiss, looks away. But then she suddenly felt the floor disappear from under her feet.
She was in his arms quickly in a bridal carry. "No! Fine! I'll get ready!!! Put me down!"
"Nope. This is what you get for ignoring me." Keiichi chuckles then begins walking back up to their room, breakfast forgotten.
~*****~
"Can you tell me where we're going yet?" "No. It's a surprise!"
Thought their hands were tightly clasped together as Keiichi drove, Katsumi couldn't see anything since he had blindfolded her.
"Okay... We're here. Just follow me..."
He leads her somewhere, and Katsumi could tell they entered a building of some sort by the way air conditioning blew in her face, cooling her down from the heat outside. "Okay... Be careful, we don't want to ruin anything now do we?"
"What?" "Nothing, never mind. Just sit down."
After waiting for about 5 minutes, she felt he blindfold come off, and she squints her eyes for a moment. Katsumi, as her vision clears, sees the figure of her fiance sitting in the table across from her.
"You blindfolded me for this?" she smiled at him, not bothering to look around. "Well, I wouldn't spoil something like this." And at his gesture, she finally looks around, to find a big room.
They were seated at a small table which had a few rose petals on it and a candle lit on it. Around the rather spacious private room was a small dance floor littered with more rose petals. "Whoa... You prepared all this...?"
"Of course. It's our last date together before we become married. I wanted to make it special."
"...Thank you..." she mutters, looking down before shyly looking up to him. "This is really nice."
"This is only the start, we're not even halfway done with this date." he chuckles, reaching over to take her hand. "But I don't like how they put this table together..."
"Huh?" she mumbles, confused. But then her eyes sparkle with love when Keiichi stands, and places his chair beside hers, sitting side by side instead of across. "That's better."
She giggles, moving slightly to lean her head on his shoulder as he wraps an arm around her, waiting for their food to be served as sweet music that Keiichi hummed along to, played.
~*****~
"So this is our last stop, huh?" Katsumi sighs, smiling slightly. "Sadly..." he laughs, standing beside her as they look out to the ocean. "This is nice, but it's pretty empty for a Friday."
"I know... I guess it gets a bit cold at night." he says, placing an arm around Katsumi's waist. "I suppose."
"So anyway... What is it?" Katsumi asks, turning to look up at him ,making him look down at her with a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"I know when you want to say or do something, Keiichi. I'm a lawyer, I have a sharp eye, you know."
"Hah... Nothing can slip by you, huh?" he mutters, letting her go to stick his hand in his pocket. "Here." he hands her an envelope. Katsumi takes it and was about to open it but then Keiichi's hands wrap around her own, preventing her from doing it.
"But I don't want you to open it until the wedding. I want you to open it on our wedding, once you get on the altar." he says, looking into her eyes earnestly.
"..." she purses her lips, "Fine."
~*****~
"Still not asleep?" After their date, the couple had come home and changed into their pajamas. It's already 12:00 and they still weren't asleep.
"What about you?" "Got me there." They both laugh slightly. "Hey... Can you sing for me?"
"What?" he asks, taken aback. Katsumi looks up to him. "I want you to sing to me. I heard you humming to that one song during lunch on our date. Sing that one for me!"
"But... I'm not good" he flushes a slight pink, looking away. "I don't care. I want to hear you sing. Please?" her eyes go wide and the man found himself unable to say no.
"Fine. Just close your eyes." She obeys and lets her eyes drop close as she felt Keiichi grab something and music begins playing, probably from his phone. "You have it in your phone?" she asks, eyes still closed.
"It's my favorite song." he flushes pink, as he begins singing, lulling his fiancee to sleep.
(A/N: Song is above, it's one of my favorite songs ever~ You seriously need to listen to it! Are you listening to it? Good! ^~^)
"God gave me you..."
