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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yhYQ1Gz3
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4kzJHNzkw
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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nM0Kn6d73
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxelOdslvX
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKM0ZNucLx
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshreElijSL
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pkHbsHnzA
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s7ZEvzgt3
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F1CyCjPIs
“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?”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9G1z2IUPY

“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSqQ0uUCM

“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.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvkr1RDVf
“But- why?”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uOPlOzBh9
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG1wo4irm
“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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IZ52aKXk
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkeT2lByTX
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.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinhF2ZLecL
“You forgot?”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOxrzMzRXH
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjblp2kCc0J
“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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOyrb9Q8ms

“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFi5rxIfim
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.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT0rQjshHN
“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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6a4f6XgeA
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDbpEeN0jj
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXpcqaarNG
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQL7HbtDT8
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4wVlvvsZv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOKs4ryzxP
“You know what I mean.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQszEcB1i7m
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowxX3Tn5oj
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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOEY3jtlTI
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UKvDtFZGb
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6seJ8qmy0S
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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo26Kp77ID
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhGwRRwBc3

“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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9o4PipVhe

“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.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEuS7M8kbl
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOT1U08CGK

“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjNtArtVL8
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTgpXDikhm
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.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhfChaScS
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY2q4K2C9M
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf1shLX1ya
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdIGfHiW2q
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWVHI9VNhp
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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSTU6q1sbO
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCX7RGXGra
“Goodnight King.”
