My lover, my assassin

Chapter 59

I opened my eyes to the mid morning light and stretched out in the large bed, noticing that Karma was missing. As I did I remembered what day it was and bolted up, my hand resting on my thumping heart. It was our wedding day. 

They day after our respective hens and bucks night we had slept most of the day away and simply cuddled, laying in bed and only leaving its warmth to grab food or for toilet breaks. He didn't touch me anymore than a few chaste kisses, teasing the fact that I needed to be able to walk down the aisle and if I acted like I had that night I wouldn't be able to. I flushed red but reminded him that he had been just as hungry for my body. He hadn't argued the fact, stating that was the reason I shouldn't tempt him. 

As I thought of him my eyes fell on a rose and a note by the bed side table. I shuffled over to it, smelling the rose and unfolding the note. 

Good morning beautiful.

The day is finally here and I cant wait to marry you and make you my wife. See you soon.

Love your future husband.

I clutched the note to my chest and held the rose to my face, smelling it as I jumped out of bed. I had a shower where I washed myself down with some moisturizing body wash and put a treatment though my hair. I got changed into a singlet and jeans, the house was heated so I didn't have to worry about the cold and wrapped my hair up before making my way downstairs where I could hear voices. Kayano was sitting on a bar stool sipping on a mimosa. Seeing me she squealed and jumped up to hug me and spin me round.

"Happy wedding day!"

I smiled up at her and she handed me a glass and steered me to a seat. Irina raised her own drink in greeting and went back to chatting to Asano while Sugino and Isogai started dishing out the French toast and my stomach grumbled at the delicious smell.

"Are you excited, nervous, getting cold feet? Do we need to make a quick getaway?"

"Kayano!"

I laughed as Irina cuffed my friends head and shook my head.

"Actually I'm pretty relaxed."

Everyone looked at me as I shovelled another mouthful of food in.

"No pre-wedding jitters?"

I shook my head and grabbed my drink and stared at the friends I had made. 

"This feels right, like this future was just meant to happen. I feel like I am where I am meant to be."

The others raised their own glasses .

"To Karma and Nagisa!"

Karma's Pov

I stood beside Nakamura and smiled at the guests as they greeted me before setting down on the benches. I had to say that they did a good job at decorating the small chapel. It was beautiful in its own right, all glass that stood atop a hill and looked out over the nearby ocean and lovely surrounding garden. They had kept the decorations small and tasteful. Blue ribbons and flowers decorated the poles and ends of the benches while the red carpet had white petals spread out along them. I fixed my bow tie for perhaps the tenth time and a small hand reached over to grab mine. 

"Relax."

I turned to Nakamura who moved my hand out of the way and adjusted the tie that I had made sit crooked. She looked splendid in her suit. Where I was wearing a white suit with a red vest and tie she was wearing a black one. It hugged her body perfectly and with her long blonde hair left straight she was stunning.
