I was getting ready.
Finally the day had come….Soryu and I were finally getting married.
I was waiting for my cue when my father walked in the dressing room.
"Dad, you are supposed to wait out there."
"I know but…"
"But what?"
"I just want to make sure this is what you really want."
"Of course it is…what are you talking about?"
"I mean…I want to make sure he is not forcing you to do this."
"What are you talking about….You know him, he would never hurt me. Of course I want to marry him. I love him and he loves me…why would you think otherwise?"
"I just….i just don't want to see you get hurt. He is the head of the Ice Dragons Brynn, I just don't understand how…."
"No, you just don't want me to marry him so I can marry…whatever his name is for your benefit."
"His name is Churuki and he is a nice boy."
"Boy being the operative word…he is only 18 dad."
"Brynn."
"If you do not support my marriage to Soryu then leave."
"Brynn."
"Do you or not?" I asked.
He stood up…walked towards the door…and grabbed the handle. "You will regret marrying someone like him Brynn." He said opening it and leaving.
I could not believe it…my own father left my wedding…I just sat down in shock.
Pretty soon I heard the music start…that was my cue but I did not move…I started crying. My own father was not going to be here to walk me down the aisle or to give me away.
"Brynn…that's your cue, come on…." Sakiko said as she walked in, Chisato behind her.
"Brynn, what is wrong?" Chisato asked.
"….." I just couldn't stop crying.
"I'll go get Soryu." Sakiko said.
"No!" I said louder than expected. "Just help me fix my makeup." I said turning toward the mirror.
After a few moments my makeup was decent and I started out.
I waslked down the aisle…by myself.
I made it to Soryu finally.
"Are you okay, where is your father?"
"I will explain later." I said smiling.
After the ceremony we were in the limousine going to our home.
"What happened?" he asked holding my hand.
"My father came to me before I left the dressing room…asked me if I was sure I wanted to marry you…he thinks I should marrying an 18 year old kids for his benefit. I told him no and that if he did not support our marriage then he should leave. He told me I would regret marrying you and then left."
"Brynn, I am so sorry. I hate that I make your father uneasy about your marriage to me."
"Don't be sorry, it is his decision to not be a part of my life."
"But with your mother gone…"
"I know…I have a whole new family…with you…and the Ice Dragons." I said smiling.
"That's true." He said smiling as he kissed me as we pulled up.
Finally the reception was over and we were headed on our honeymoon.
We decided to head somewhere that the gangs are not going to reach us…or where it will cause trouble for us with people knowing who Soryu is…Hawaii.
"This is amazing!" I said looking out our window at the beach front we have.
The water was a clear blue-green color and the sun was shining.
"Why don't we go out for a swim." He said as he started changing.
"That sounds amazing!" I said as I grabbed my swimsuit and changed.
We made it out and I was heading for the ocean to swim, I looked back and saw Soryu.
"Aren't you coming in?" I asked.
"Not yet, I need to read up on how things are going." He said holding his phone…no doubt reading the emails Ryosuke and Koichi are sending him.
"Nope." I said taking it form him.
"Hey, give that back." He said reaching for it.
"Nope." I said as he was chasing me around the beach. "You promised me not work while we were on our honeymoon."
"Come here." He saidgrabbing me by the waise laughing. "You are right." He said kissing me.
"Hey!" I said as he grabbed the phone. "Soryu.."
"Relax…" he said typing something out. "Look." He said showing me his phone.
Will you two stop emailing me…on my honey and I will not be answering any calls or emails. If it is that important talk with Rahman and Jin, they will help.
It was an email he sent to Ryosuke and Koichi.
"There," he said turning his phone off. "Now you have my undivided attention." He said kissing me again.
"Good, now come one." I said running toward the ocean.
