One more day

I wrap my arms around my fiancé. She smiled at me and then cuddled into my warm chest which then she fell back asleep. We had a lot to prepare for tomorrow, a few more decorations to finish and I believe Aphmau has to get her dress from the dry cleaners but I'm not 100% sure. I know I need to get the rings and blah blah blah.
"Aphmau, it's time to get up."
"No... just give five more minutes."
"Love, we have stuff to do today for the wedding for tomorrow."
"But... five more minutes." Well isn't she stubborn to get up. But I do know how to wake her up. I pull the covers off of her which makes her groan and curl into a ball.
"Wake up! We have stuff to finish for our big day tomorrow."
"I wanna sleep because I know I'll have to be up early tomorrow to get ready, now let me sleep."
"UGH! Fine fine I'll just leave you to your sleep."
"Thank you, I love you." She blows me a kiss before laying her head back down and sleeping. I grab a grey T-shirt and jeans before heading to the shower. I walk into the bathroom and undress. I look into the mirror like I did once before. I look at my chest, then my face, and then my eyes. They were slowing turning red. I calmed them then get into the shower, the water coating my hair and body quickly. I rub the shampoo into my hair and then I feel two arms wrap around my waist. I squint my eyes and move my head behind me.
"Why hello there, I see you wanted to take a shower."
"Well I felt bad about not getting up and I wanted to make it up to you because I know your stressed about this wedding." She tightened her grip around my waist.
"Don't feel bad love, I just want to make this day special for you, for us."
"Well it's going to be special no matter what I promise."
I turned around and kissed her, water pouring down both out faces. Our naked bodies touching each other.

I walk into the living room with some popcorn. Aphmau was sitting on the couch with her phone in hand smiling.
"What you smiling at beautiful?"
"My mom is counting down every second." She rolled her eyes as I sat next to her and look at her phone.
"Shes excited, she I personally think, is excited to party."
"Yeah, oh! I forgot to tell you my mom wanted you to call her."
"And why is the reason?"
"Well, she told me nothing so I'm not sure maybe it's important? But I would call her, she gets very serious when she says you need to call her."
"Okay well I'll go do that," I hand her the popcorn and look her dead in the eyes, "Don't eat all of that." Then I leave to the back yard. I clicked on Sylvanna contact, which I don't use very often, and place the phone to my ear while it rings.
"Hello Aaron! I was just about to call you."
"Oh, well Aphmau told me to call you. It was important?"
"Oh well, tomorrow is the wedding as you know."
"Uh Huh?"
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about her."
"Oh?"
"Well she talk to me earlier,"
"Did I do something?"
"You did, you made her really really happy."
I smile, "That's my goal, make her happy because she makes me feel like the luckiest guy on the planet."
"I just wanted to ask, where do you want to meet in the morning?"
"Well I know Aphmau wants to meet at the place near the ceremony but us men are going to be getting ready at the house. Why may I ask?"
"Oh well Aphmau really didn't want my help planning, she really liked planning with you, and I have something for you, but you won't get it till after the ceremony before you leave."
"I don't need anything, you've already given me my world."
"Shut up just take it, Well I have to get to bed. See you tomorrow." She then hung up. I look at the phone screen my eyes wide, what did she need to give me and why?
I walk back inside to see Aphmau asleep on the couch, she looked so peaceful, but I knew had to move her. I move the bowl of popcorn, which was all gone, then I pick her up bridal style and took her up the stairs to the bedroom. She cuddled into my chest before I could get her to the bed. I place her onto the bed and cover her with a blanket. I walk to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror for the third time today. Hm I should probably shave.
