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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xrq2je6BY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P9i6rNxEd
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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQpJBKBrzC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjgcp0wO8
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nbr2e4b1k
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ckonIdli
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQh7804lz0
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENPMjGu4lf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8qo1z5fq
“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?”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf0nV4DihJ

“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe83R8dCvUt

“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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq1KYjyVl7
“But- why?”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNXmnaSAo8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYlBwyTbSb
“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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnczIzDQ7V
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liIl481Mk
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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWe1Wp7V5R
“You forgot?”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIypK97oJkP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KsTQTCGKC
“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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lB1zbioxz

“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70UQq8wiK
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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2e4s0QV3R
“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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTUzYOtC8J
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLzQ93oL9M
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgYO2raBg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrDnZgUyEa
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHjX9tQCjN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycIFVP8I2K
“You know what I mean.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9UeSKkjMs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE1dG1RNbI
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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFYVPwLmby
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgaus70QYR
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iCFnhlzFl
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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMyHm3huG

“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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8eGWJCqWX

“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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo7twFU2r9
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYnYaDJDR
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJ2WZUL3l
“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmJw0g8JXl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPZtyNHb9P
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.”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpvqHJaUAU
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQB8RULq9L
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxeVZ2aH6I
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7E0KLufmt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1v6l5U6JV
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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z11TJTOS0
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxZX5zUpVm
“Goodnight King.”
