Viva La Hella

I Do, I Do, I Do

The punk sighs as she covers her eyes. The October morning sunlight wakes her up and she rolls on her side. It's almost noon. But they had a long trip and a long night, so they deserved a good sleep. She looks at her beautiful girlfriend. No, she's not her girlfriend, she's her fiancée. And even so, she will be her wife in hours. She smiles and kisses the brunette on the face who grumbles a little.

'Hey, wake up' the tattooist whispers.
'Why?'
'Come on! Today's the big day, right?'
'Yeah' she opens her eyes slowly.
'How was my old bed?'
'Cool. I love your old room'
'Reason?'
'Memories' she smiles and snuggles.
'We still can eat together before your parents arrive to take you away'
'Sounds good, but I'm fine'
'Maybe, but I'm hella hungry' she giggles.
'Okay, okay' she sighs 'Two more minutes'
'Hey, Max?'
'Yeah?'
'I love you'
'Love you, too. I'm happy we can get married on this day'
'October 7th. Yeah' she smiles softly.
'Are you really happy with me?'
'Do we really have to do this today?' she rolls her eyes.
'Sorry. But these past months were crazy. I'm surprised we could actually get everything done'
'But we could. You know why?'
'Because we're in this together'
'Exactly' she kisses her gently.
'I don't really want to get up. It's so good here, in your arms'
'I know, I know, but come on. We're running out of time. Let's get dressed, and then... geez... it really is happening. You're gonna be my wife'
'Yeah' she tucks into her hair 'I miss your blue hair sometimes. We really are...'
'Growing up'
'It's scary.'
'It hella is. But we're in this together'
'Yeah' she sits up 'We really have to go, right?'
'Afraid so' she sighs.
'After all the horror' she puts on her jeans 'we finally get what we truly deserve'
'Hopefully' she smiles as she hands Max's T-shirt over.
'And soon enough it'll get even better'
'Yeah. You have everything, right?'
'I guess' she picks up her bag.
'Hey, can you smell it?' she licks her bottom lip.
'Wowser. We haven't got our special since we moved to Portland'
'I'm starving'
'Hold on' she gently grabs her wrist.
'What's wrong?' she raises her eyebrow.
'I'm... just...'
'You don't wanna quit now... do you?'
'No, no, it's not that' she snuggles 'I just want you to know... that I'd be nowhere without you. And I truly am grateful for you'
'And I'm the sentimental stupid punk' she giggles 'Hey. I'd most probably be dead if we wouldn't be together. You give my life a meaning'
'You sentimental stupid punk' she chuckles as she gently kisses her.
'Hey, kids!' Joyce shouts from the kitchen 'Don't you think it's time?'
'Coming, mom' Chloe sighs and opens the door.

They get downstairs. Everybody's there. The tattooist takes her place at the table.

'I'm starving. I could eat a horse'
'Good to know you're not nervous' Joyce places the plate in front of her.
'Why would I be?'
'Maybe because it's a decision of your life' Rachel shrugs smiling.
'I wish every decision I had to make were this easy' she grins.
'Was it really that easy?' Ryan asks.
'Yeah' she shrugs as she sips her coffee 'I knew I love her. So why should I have waited? I promised her I'm gonna marry her. And I proposed as soon as it was possible. She can escape anytime though' she grins at Max.
'Maybe I will'
'Go.' she shrugs.
'Asshole' she mumbles 'Like I could leave you'
'You can' she finishes her breakfast.
'No way. You know too much about me. If I left you, I have to kill you as well'
'Kill me'
'You two are mental' Matt laughs 'Max, you can't kill her. I need her. She's the best employee I could get'
'Well, thanks, boss' Rachel playfully punches him in the arm.
'You're not the same, blondie. You're great as well' he winks.
'Time to go' Vanessa says and stands up.
'Hey, hipster' the punk gently holds her hand as the others walk out.
'Yeah?'
'Don't dare to leave me today'
'I'll leave you tomorrow then' she grins as she wraps her arms around her neck.
'Okay. That's okay' she whispers.
'I feel nervous'
'Me too, baby. You can chicken out'
'No. No... I'm with you'
'You're shaking'
'I'm so happy. I could...'
'Don't. Don't cry, okay?' she whispers.
'I'm trying. I love you'
'I love you, too'
'It really is happening...' she sniffles 'I'm so lucky to have you'
'And I'm sentimental' she caresses her face 'Don't cry. Hey' she leans to the brunette's ear 'do you know why tonight's gonna be special?'
'Why?'
'Because tonight will be the first time of making love with my wifey'
'I kinda hate you know' she chuckles.
'Maxine!' Vanessa calls her again, losing her patience.
'Coming' she sighs 'See you soon'
'Take care, hippie' she gently kisses her on the lips.
'Well, C, are you ready?' Rachel smiles.
'It's not that big a deal. I'm gonna change my clothes, that's all'
'Are you serious? You're not even nervous?'
'Why should I be?' she shrugs 'I'm marrying the person I love'
'You're hardcore, Chloe... Now, come on. Let's get ready. I'll help you'
