"Honey, you should go to sleep" Alex whispered in my ear.
"Give me half an hour to finish the final drawing. Go to bed, I'll come later"
I tried to convince Alex to let me work a little more so that the next morning I could give Ema the project. Ema was someone we hired to take care of all the boring paperwork that had to be done. She was going to take care of everything regarding the building process. The computer drawing was almost ready.
"Marie, you know I don't like leaving you here working"
"Alex, it's important. For both of us"
"We should've hired someone, or simply just buy a house"
"You kidding me?! I've been working for the last two weeks day and night to think every single aspect of it! But from tomorrow, I'm all yours, Al. Ema will take care of the rest and in a few months we'll move in. Can you believe it?!" I was extremely excited about having our own house.
"You're right. I should have a little more patience. But you don't understand how much I've been missing you these days..."
He made those puppy eyes he knew were killing me.
"Stop it, Al!"
"Never..."
He rested his head on my shoulder while I was drawing. I could feel his hot breath on my neck, which was killing my concentration.

Months have passed, we went on tour once again, the penguins as opening band for the monkeys. The situation got really funny when everybody came clear about their relationships. Basically, we were 2 four-members bands dating each other. Did it sound weird? Soon, people spread the word and our engagement became trending news especially among fangirls, who started to hate me more and more.
"Ignore them!" Alex suggested as I entered our hotel room crying after having met a girl who claimed that she wanted me to die.
"How?! She may have been as well a fan asking for an autograph, you know how much I respect our fans, I couldn't have just walked away, could I? Plus, I can't build a wall around me..."
"Marie, I've never said that..."
"Alex, she literally came to me, asked me if I was Marie and started to shout at me to die while pulling my hair. Thank God there was a policeman in the corner of the street who came and made her to go away. It was awful!"
"You shouldn't have left you alone. I'm sorry. You know, after we get married, we can take some time off. I don't know, one month, more, a year maybe... Take care of ourselves, build our lives exactly the way we want them to be, have a break, we deserve it! People may forget about us. And then we come back. We make a new album, we start another tour... Call it a hiatus if you want."
"Your fans will hate me even more, Al!"
"Forget about them, all that matters now is you and me, okay? Now let's go, soundcheck starts in half an hour and I don't anyone to see you crying, love"
"I'm so sorry..." I pushed my head deeper in his shoulder.
"No... You don't have what for" Alex tried to calm me down caressing my hair.
"For staining your shirt?" I cracked a smile.
"My love..."

The big day came. I was trembling continuously in the long white dress while Laura was making the last retouches to my hair.
"You're perfect!" she claimed.
"Damn, Laura, I'm scared, I'm not ready yet! What if I stumble, what if I forget my vows? What if Alex forgets his?"
"Stay calm, dear. Everything's gonna be just fine!"
"I want to see him, Laura"
"No way! Tradition is tradition, Marie!"
"I need to see him!"
"Stop crying! You may be wearing waterproof makeup, but don't exaggerate! You'll be fine, now let's go! Believe me, when you'll see him standing there you'll forget about everything!"
And she was right.
Everything went on perfectly.
"You may kiss the bride!" the priest announced.
Alex smashed his lips to mine and I responded right away with tenderness. We broke apart slowly and stared into each other's eyes for what seemed a lifetime.
"You're all mine now" he whispered.
"Baby I'm yours"
We both smiled and ran on the long church hall until we reached the door. Everyone was throwing rice and confetti at us as we entered the limo that was going to take us to a fancy restaurant for the party.
Then, everything went on exactly like planned, the party, the guests, the dances we had rehearsed for so long, the music was perfect, we even played a few songs ourselves along with our bands, the toasts which made everyone cry and eventually we caught the morning flight to the secret honeymoon destination, which Alex hadn't told me about.
"When will you tell me where we are going?" I complained while resting my head on his shoulder in the limo. Of course, the great Alex Turner couldn't go to the airport like a normal person, in a taxi, he needed a limo.
"Hmmm, I don't know, it's a surprise, you'll probably find out when we get to check-in, even though I think you'll fall asleep soon"
"No..." I yawned and knew I wouldn't be able to stay awake for the rest of the trip. "So, is this it? A new chapter of our lives?"
"Not of our lives. It's a new chapter of our live. It's one. And it's ours."
"I love you, Marie..."
"I love you, Alex..."
===================
Hey there!
Sorry for the abrupt ending, I just don't feel like writing this story anymore. It was my first fanfic attempt years ago and now reading it after so long feels so weird. I'm somehow ashamed of some parts of it, of my undeveloped writing style and elementary mistakes. However, it's been a lot of fun writing - late nights in the bed, during classes, holidays, while eating :))))
If you want to make a sequel to the story, let me know and I can give you all the information you need!
I'm sorry for letting you down...
Have a great day and thank for reading! ^w^
