I hummed after she’d softly scratched from my back up to my neck. We both laid on the couch with my covering up to her midsection. She pulled all my hair to one side then started growing through my scalp, “I’m going to be Mrs. King tomorrow.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoC0VwLprY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDf1bO0sv2
She leaned down and kissed my forehead and I smiled incoherently. Then I forced my heavy head to peer at her with a random thought, “...I want our kid to have both of our last names.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp26CNk9RG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51g98MlV72
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9vy05HJTE
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwo6DVkLWs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28GFlR6hh
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3dYztUBQg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR2y9S7X2x
“You know I’m not much of a party goer so it wouldn’t have been fun. Are you trying to get rid of me so soon?”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSH5xfH9XX

“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrYqS87hFO

“That I do know,” I moved up and sat on her abdomen. I messed with the hem of the blue shirt she’d had on and was about to go down lower, “We are not having sex. I want to wait until our wedding night.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUcxistqly
“But- why?”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44gXCFDvLq
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVrRpE14yj
“Because It might be to just wait all of one day and cherish you as solely mine. Or that my dad threatened that I'd be wallowing in my grave if I didn't hold up to my jewish traditions.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0jvMKD10J
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMJe3dQd00
She draped her hands around my waist and I did my best not to think of them as advances, “List off what we were doing for the ceremony again.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwp0hEbZGK
“You forgot?”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZPlFGHswQ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRMh3n0sjj
“No, I just like hearing your accent come out. I can’t believe I hadn't noticed it before.”

“I’m glad Malcolm was licensed to agree with them.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34HzT3PYY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrHqRiPbM
“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlyAUaLmNh
I placed my arms around her neck and leaned my head into the crook of her neck, “Early tomorrow morning we’re going to visit a rabbi for Aufruf. It's where we’d be called to the Torah for a blessing and it's customary if anyone wakes up and wants to come with us that they throw candles at us.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF4g2pOYH2
“Then what.”

“After that and a little later, my dad, your mom, and your aunt since she had raised you will sign the ketubah. Usually it’s only two witnesses though. I'm unsure whether it's going to be either before or after your walked down the aisle.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKuU3k3Kp
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxWjVRzWyS
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVpojbOeS9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qPLeAQljz
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQsWDNOzt1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiWXAjoiky
“You know what I mean.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqYaQpBkX6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIizm4xtxly
She laughed and I pinched her neck avoiding looking up, “It's just an outline of my responsibilities to you and the conditions I'll provide in the marriage. And during the signing I will come to you and veil you. That is called the Bedeken, showing i love you for your inner beauty. There's the Chuppah and Circling but I skipped it then the ring exchange as you already know. Sheva B'rachot which are the seven blessings but I wanted to do it in a more intimate way since I have to brush up on my Hebrew to speak them to you.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwe7ZM24Qe
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW2nbhK9OE
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQU4bXpiHK
She was distracted and increased her hold on me for a moment yet sadly a short one, “...We're gonna drink wine first and I'm going to make some statements then end with a blessing to our future. I kinda wanted to do it before or after I took you on our wedding night. Then again someone hasn’t left me alone to study it so it might be on one of the nights of our honeymoon.”

“I bet you can’t. After the ceremony and we break out to eat there's the breaking of the glass and mazel Tov. I skipped the Yichud and Hora and Mezinke because we were just going to dance once and then hightail it out of there.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7mseJnCjs

“I think I'd be too distracted by you to care unless it was with your heel. …You aren’t overwhelmed with these customs right? I can take out a few in the beginning if you want.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplXWMiPyGU

“No no I want to. I'm gonna be so happy, not so much for waking up so early tomorrow but I'm gonna be happy nevertheless.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ecEuLtip
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAp9Ffclli

“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRD3B1sSjY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PKGknbyHe
Her mouth was agape and I noticed only then how that sounded, “Nuh uh get your butt off. I’m gonna search for my Hebrew butt and stay up a while longer.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KswtsG6hR
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQPmty5ijC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXcHng9Pw
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjv8uNYibj
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnd9SVi28W
I couldn’t hold in my own laugh remembering all the times she’d made me put on pajamas so that she could work only to be awoken with her head in between my legs, “Like that's stopped you before love. Goodnight Hart.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPMX2Fxh9p
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvikYWBG6bc
“Goodnight King.”
