“Okay, so onto the next part. I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”
I clamp my lips down onto Katherine’s my heart filling with joy as I do. Joy floods me, it fills me up completely, I feel happier and more secure than ever before. The old version of me who thought it was better to play about and be disconnected from the world is dead. Now, I’m someone else, someone better. I’m more.
“Hey there, wifey,” I murmur between her lips. “How’s it going?”
“Hi, husband.” She smacks her hand against my ass. “What do you say you get out of here? Do some celebrating? We have Tamara and Logan all night long so why not take advantage of being in Vegas? Could be fun, right? There’s plenty to do here, or so I’ve heard…”
“With you Anything is fun!” I tug on her hand. “Come on then, lets get the hell out.”
Epilogue
One Year Later…
Katherine
“Oh, my goodness, what is this?” I gasp as I walk into our kitchen. God, I love thinking our kitchen, it’s awesome. Once we got married it only made sense that we got a place of our own as well, somewhere to live out our married lives together. Both the apartments we lived in before then were too small so we went on the house hunt. I love the place we chose, it’s perfect for us. “What’s going on here?”
“It’s our wedding anniversary, don’t tell me you forgot?”
“Oh no!” I clap my hands to my mouth, acting like I have. “Are you sure?”
He cocks his head to one side curiously. “You are joking, right? You always remember everything!” He shakes his head, forgetting about that. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I remembered and I’ve organized a good night for us. A nice meal, some wine, a nice movie for us to watch later on… a lovely night in. Sound good?”
“Yeah, that sounds awesome actually.” I rub my forehead wearily. “Just what I need.”
“You working hard?”
“I have to… I’m the boss now.”
Putting my head down and ignoring the sexism for a while has now put me in a position where I can fight it, and fight it I do. It will not happen under my command. I hope my lead will cause other companies to follow suit. I would love it if no one had to work in an environment where nastiness is allowed anymore.
Anyone who does it while I’m charge is warned and then fired.
“Well, I’m knackered too. Working for Logan is hard. To think he always used to be a bit of a slacker!”
I chuckle and shake my head. “Yeah, I can only imagine. He’s so passionate now.”
“It’s good though. Him and Tamara want us over for a meal this weekend, as if I don’t see enough of him.”
I laugh and take my seat while smiling up expectantly at my man. “Dinner smells delicious.”
“Yes, I know you’re always hungry when you first finish work, but first I have a gift for you.”
My eyes light up. “A present? Oh, my goodness. I love gifts. What is it? I’m so excited.”
He hands me a package which I tear open greedily. Inside I find the sweetest, prettiest necklace I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s gold, to match my wedding ring, with a nice diamond design woven through it.
“Oh wow, this is amazing. I love it! Thank you so much for getting it for me.”
I jump back up and throw my arms around my husband, feeling a stirring in my stomach as I do. I cannot believe that once upon a time I thought the fire would fade. If anything, the passion intensifies with every passion moment. That pull gets stronger and stronger. If anything, I only want him more every damn day.
But now isn’t the time for that.
“Actually,” I tell him coyly. “I didn’t forget our anniversary, I was just teasing you about that.”
“I knew it! You never forget anything.” He rolls his eyes and belly laughs. “I can’t believe I fell for that.”
“Well, I only did it because I have the best gift ever for you.”
