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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQ9nDZOFE
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqokihFtAfK
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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPanRvIz5yt
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxvOBzwffX
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF0z35E0D0
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtAwUNC4wR
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CiB7VdGXC
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJpPN6S2L
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GzE4Eodvt
“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?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV5kPeqp6U

“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL5HUdOshJ

“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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvsBMIn6dD
“But- why?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiJ5Kjbc8t
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ob8qSnOyO
“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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvz0XOBhVU
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgEK4um2A7
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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JIWw1nsmf
“You forgot?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jg0KSQyrz
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvz5nmiK6
“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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aWweiHDB2

“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JSTRRwuFq
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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3Kpq605l
“Then what.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFw5kCvkjO
“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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLbih8Ia5O
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirHpy9FC24
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrorf7XXe0S
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kOqYbddRr
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeNwap3fJB
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalk8iD0ijA
“You know what I mean.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttrR43fkoJ
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16DjtddRcT
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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mq46xjom
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiG0UkPIpc
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNZJVeVmDd
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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl41dZl9w9Y

“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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bgtLOeAy1

“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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0fgd8LW31
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAliS8tpcoX
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6tRtM3not
“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25rZJ35bP
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRaiEEqYzv
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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawobLLuW80
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4AK6oGlD
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjOfHFVJst
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9arvKe4hbi
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJIzm9jjYG
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.”213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRZPSg8ymQ
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqD1BKSmV
“Goodnight King.”
