Life sucks then you get Married

Chapter 1 Wedding bells and Blondes

The warm afternoon sun shinned in though the large window and deep red drapes into the spacious living room on the 27th floor of the Blue Ocean Hotel. Only two people occupied the floor; my father and his 18 year old daughter; me. We live in a hotel, rather than buying a house or renting a condo.

I laid lounging on a giant lavender couch, my short orange hair splayed out as I watched my father tie his red tie and fix his black dress shirt and modeled for my approval. I rolled my chocolate brown eyes then turned my attention back to the book I was previously reading.

"Nami; hurry up and get ready will you? We'll be late for the wedding." He chided me while adjusting his silk, red tie; staring down at my fitted plain black tee shirt and orange short shorts.

I eyed my father and his jet black suit and tie.

I don't even want to go to this absurd wedding.

I don't even like Usopp that much.

Usopp is this guy I've known for a few years. He has a long pointy nose, a penitence of lying, and has one of the most horrible voices I have ever known.

Plus the girl he's marrying isn't on my top ten favorite people to hang with.

I heaved a heavy sigh before I covered my head with the book.

"Nami; put that damn book away and get ready. Usopp is your friend and whether you like it or not we were invited to his wedding and we both will attend." I felt his glare right through the felt covered book.

"But Daddy…" I began, my voice whinny. "I don't want to goooo…I don't like his fiancé…" My brown eyes began tearing up. "Luffy and Zoro don't like her either…"

"I don't care what Luffy and Zoro think. You are my daughter and you are going to support your friend in this important stage in his life. He obviously thinks highly of you to invite you."

I scoffed and stood up; dropping the book on the coffee table. "Yeah well you're only going 'cause of his dad." I blew at the fringes in my eyes.

I wasn't too fond of my dad.

He was annoying.

Greedy.

And never did anything unless he had something to gain from it.

"We happen to do good business together." He glanced at me before walking into his bedroom. "Wear the black dress with the purple lace I bought you. It's fitting for this type of wedding."

Selfish bastard.

"Yeah yeah." I grumbled; locking my bedroom door behind me then I stared at my queen sized bed. On top of the red and black bed comforter sat the dress in question.

Annoyance flashed in my eyes before I quickly changed into it and stared at my reflection in the mirror.

The dress was floor length and jet black and clung to my every curve with a long slit running up my left leg. It was strapless with purple lace running on the top, right above my breasts.

At least I look good in it.

A lazy grin made its way onto my face before I grabbed my black, strappy 6 inch stilettos and put them on then gazed at my reflection.

Not bad not bad. I turned around to look at my back and smiled.

The dress dipped low and stopped just before my lower back and criss crossed back up.

Actually, I'm quite sexy, if I do say so myself. A giggle escaped my lips as I applied my pale pink lipstick and fixed my black eye liner then applied mascara and a dark shade of lavender mixed with black eye shadow.

Knocking was heard at my door before my father's voice echoed though. "Are you almost done? It's 4'O Clock and the wedding's at 5."

"Yeah yeah…" I opened her door and scowled. "Where's my jacket? You know the one with the hood? I can't find it." I really really didn't want to go.

My father rolled his eyes and walked away. "Did you even look?" He glanced at his Rolex on his wrist and grabbed his jacket. "Where you got that compulsive liar crap I don't know…" I heard him mutter. "Nami look in the hall closet and wear the nice black one I bought you…the one that ties in front and has the collar."

I got it from you Pops.

I scowled and opened the closet door to see the black jacket staring back at me. "But I don't like this one…" I poked the sleeve.

He chose the damned thing so it looked more like a straight jacket than an actual coat.

"I don't care; it looks great on you. Besides," He strode up behind me and took it off the hanger. "You're only wearing it to the church then the reception…I'm going down to get the car okay. So meet me down stairs. " I nodded and absently and watched out of the corner of my brown eyes as he left.

A few minutes of silence passed before knocking was heard on the front door. Who can that be? Everyone is supposed to be on their way to the wedding. I opened the door to see two of my best friends staring back at me.

Without them I'd probably end up on the run from the government or something.

"Luffy? Zoro?" My chocolate brown eyes glinted in excitement. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked as Luffy picked me up in a giant hug.

God I loved these guys.

"HI NAMI!" He shouted; carrying me back inside.

"Thought we could all go to the wedding together." Zoro answered closing the front door behind him. "Where's your dad?" His black eyes scanning the living room for my old man.

"He's getting the car." I smiled and gave him a hug before turning on my heels and getting my jacket. "What do you think?" I motioned down at my dress.

"Ooooohhhhhhhhh wow Nami!" Luffy bent down to my level and poked my stomach. "You look real nice!" He gave me a big goofy grin as I smacked his hand away; my eyes darting to the green haired male staring down at me. "Well Zoro? You have something to say?" I was bit nervous.

Zoro was one of those guys.

You know, big, strong, muscular. Horrible sense of direction but you sure wouldn't as hell mind being stranded on a deserted island with them.

Yeah. That kind.

"You look good." He closed his eyes, fiddling with the keys in his pocket. "So we going together or what?"

"As in a date?" I grabbed up my touch screen cell phone and stuck it in my bra. Hey, it's the best place to hide things. "I don't think this is the right time for that…" I trailed off, winking at him before I slipped my arms into my jacket Luffy held out for me.

"You and Zoro are dating?" He yelled. "No way! Nami!"

Zoro slapped the straw hat off his head before opening the front door. "Let's go. Your dad is waiting."

"Nami why didn't you tell me?" Luffy grabbed my arm and looped it though his. "How long has it been? Why him?" He bent down close to her ear and whispered. "Is he good in bed? Is that it?"

I face flushed bright red and I pretended to adjusted my jacket and avoid Luffy's prying eyes. "Luffy she was being sarcastic." Zoro muttered as I looped her arm through his and he locked the door. "Let's go already."

"Ohh…" Luffy nodded and patted my wrist. "I get it…"

Luffy on the other hand was sweet.

He was sweet, funny and I would give my life to save him.

Okay not really but I would stay by his side.

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eyes to see him smiling happily as we walked down the hall to the elevator.

He was tall, lean, slightly muscular and loved red.

He always had a straw hat on his head than he absolutely hated taking off and would most likely bit your hand off if you touched it.

He let me touch it once.

Actually he let me wear it once.

We were at the beach and the sun was baking.

"Hey can I press the button? Nami?" I looked up to see his dark eyes staring down at me pleadingly.

"Yeah, go for it." I smiled and saw his eyes light up.

So easy to please.

Life sucks then you get Married Life sucks then you get Married

So the ride to the wedding wasn't bad. I told Daddy that I was going with Zoro and Luffy and after a few choiced words, we left.

I of course rode shot gun while Luffy sat in the back.

Okay he didn't really sit in the back considering the fact that he was always draped over the back of my seat, his chin basically glued to my shoulder.

"Alright Luffy get out." Zoro growled frustrated with him.

I laughed.

Couldn't help it.

"What's so funny Nami?" Luffy stared at me as he opened the car door and helped me out, wrapping my arm around his.

"Nothing Luffy nothing." I smiled and looked up to see Zoro staring down at me. "Hm?"

He had a weird look in his eyes, like I just ate his pet dog or something.

"Nothing." He nodded and jerked his chin in the direction of the church. "Come on you two."He grabbed me other arm in his and pulled me along. "We're right on time."

"You can that the GPS for that one." Luffy whispered in my ear.

I had to bite my lip from laughing out loud.

Anyways we went inside, relishing the cool air-conditioning and took a seat in the back.

Don't get me wrong, we all like Usopp just fine but the girl he chose to marry; she wasn't horrible it's just her taste in things sucked.

And I mean sucked.

Like when you're sick and you can't taste anything and your nose is running and you just want to throw up sucking.

She liked the oddities in life if that's how you phrase it.

She enjoyed walking as opposed to relaxing.

She had a castle yet she spent her time in the garden.

I just couldn't figure her out.

"Hey, it's starting." Zoro mumbled and turned to look down the aisle.

There, dressed in all white was Usopp's bride.

Admittedly she looked pretty. Beautiful blonde hair that stopped just before her shoulders, a cute, heart shaped face, a slim waste and long legs. Her dress was simple and elegant; it held her figure well before tapering out to the train, the front didn't dip to low but showed enough of her cleavage. She had a veil too, a simple one that wasn't embodied all that much.

Yet it all complemented her features.

Kaya.

That was her name.

I looked back up at the altar to see Ussop's eyes glued to her, a proud, disarming glow about him.

He loved her and she loved him.

What can I say?

I may not approve but hell who am I to judge?

I looked back at Kaya to see my dad sitting in one of the back rows looking at me. He then looked in front of him and motioned for me to do the same.

I did.

In front of him sat a guy about my age with blonde hair falling in his eyes, an unlit cigarette dancing on his lips, and one of the most charming smiles I've ever seen.

He wasn't looking at me but up at Usopp.

It was like he was trying to tell him 'Way to go man! I'm so fucking happy for you! She's one hell of a catch!'

And I'm pretty sure if he could, he would have yelled it out loud.

I looked back at my dad, Kaya having already made up three fourths the way up the isle to see him gauging my reaction.

For what I wasn't too sure but I had a suspicion it had something to do with the blonde.

"Nami pay attention." Zoro whispered in my ear.

Before I turned around I saw my dad lean over to the guy sitting next to him and whisper something.

Life sucks then you get Married Life sucks then you get Married

"That was a nice wedding." Luffy stated while stretching. "Don't you guys think?"

"Yeah." Zoro nodded and stood up.

"Mhhmm…she looked pretty." I looked down the aisle to see the back of her gown.

In front of me Zoro moved and grabbed my arm. "Come on, let's go outside." He nodded to the door.

"Kay!" Behind me Luffy jumped and hopped up beside me. "So Nami, why were you distracted?"

"Huh?" Oh don't tell me he saw my father too.

"In the beginning, you were all weirded out then you were all cool…what was wrong?" He stared down at me, his face scrunched in concentration. "If you were cold all you had to do was ask and I would have given you my jacket…"

Oh so he didn't know. Good.

I don't know why but that blonde guy and my dad bothered me a little.

"Oh no, its okay but thanks." I smiled at him as we all walked out into the front of the church. "I was just distracted is all."

"Oh…" Luffy nodded then stood up straight. "HEY! THERES USSOP!" He laughed and barreled off.

I laughed and looked up at Zoro, my arm still resting on his forearm.

He look down at me with a small grin.

"Idiot." He mumbled then sighed. "Let's go stop him before he says something to upset the bride."

He would too.

Trust me.

So we followed after him to see him patting Usopp on the back.

Hard.

"Usopp my man! You did it! Congrats!"

"Should we stop him?" I looked up to see Zoro grinning.

"Nah…"

We should.

But the-

"Nami." I turned to see my dad standing there, a look of pride glowing in his eyes. "Come here."

That didn't sound too good.

Not too good at all.

But I went to him nevertheless.

And then I saw him.

The blonde guy again.

He was tall, very tall and lean. He wore a black suite paired with a blue stripped shirt and a black tie. His cigarette was now lit and hung out the edge of his mouth.

"Yeah?" I strode up to my dad to see him nodding at a man at his side.

The man was fucking weird.

I'm not going to lie to you.

He had a long, ridiculously long mustache and a peg leg.

Who the hell has peg legs anymore?

"This is my daughter Nami." My dad nodded to me and addressed the weirdo. "Nami, this is Chef Zeff. He own one of the restaurants I've recently gone into business with. He is the proud owner of Baratie. The one and only restaurant at sea." He turned to the blonde haired guy towering over me. "And this is his son. Sanji."

Why do I smell trouble?

I looked up at the guy to see him grinning down at me.

"Hello." I greeted politely.

"G'Day Milady." He smiled and bent down on one knee then kissed my hand. "Your absolutely radiant My Love-your beauty is astounding!" He covered my hand in his. "We will be so happy together I just know it!"

What.

The.

Hell.

Life sucks then you get Married Life sucks then you get Married
