True Love's Wish Chapter 13
Akiza's POV 3 days Later (Akiza's house)
"Akiza?"
I turned over in the bed and pulled the covers over my head.
Then I felt a hand touch my back as if trying to wake me up.
Instinctively thinking it was Yusei, I reached over to Yusei's spot in the bed.
When I realized that he wasn't there, I opened my eyes.
Raven jumped back and stared at me.
"Are you awake?" Raven asked.
I rolled back over.
"Aww C'mon, don't be like that, we're picking out your wedding dress today remember?"
I groaned and put my pillow over my head.
Raven sighed. "Akiza, I swear, If you don't get up and get dressed, I'll wake you up like I did when we were in France."
Oh Fuck No! Come on body, Get up! I'm not letting THAT happen again.
My eyes widened as I sat up so fast that it should be a world record.
"Okay!Okay! I'm up."
Raven arched an eyebrow. "Is it that bad that it still scares you?"
"Raven, That is no way to wake a person and you know it."
"Maybe, but it's effective."
Yeah just as effective as those sleeping pills Yusei's been taking.
I got off the bed and walked to my closet.
After a minute; Raven left out the room to wait for me down stairs.
I can't believe that soon, I'm gonna be Mrs. Fudo! I'm so happy!
I quickly picked out my clothes, took a shower, got dressed, and went downstairs to meet Raven.
"Are you ready?" Raven asked.
"Yeah."
Raven stood up. "Since we have to pick up your mom and Carly, is it cool with you if we take my car?"
A few months ago Yusei and Crow got mad at us for riding our runners out in the hard rain for an emergency at the hospital. They weren't mad at the fact that we were riding in the rain, rather we were speeding in the rain. They put their foot down, So Raven had her car flown in from France, to make the boys happy. We only use it for rainy days though.
"Sure."
We got in the car, and Raven started the car to head for my parents house.
We were only halfway down the road when both of our cell phones started ringing.
Instinctively, we knew who it was. Crow and Yusei. We hooked our phones to Raven's car thingy so that Yusei and Crow could talk to eachother and us.
"Hey" I said.
"What are you girls up to?" Crow asked.
Raven rolled her eyes. "What did I tell you yesterday?"
"I'll be honest," Crow replied. "I was a bit preoccupied at the time."
Raven sighed. "Akiza, please remind Crow of what we're doing before I forget who I love and kill him dead."
Yusei and I Laughed.
Typical
"I've got this one." Yusei said. "Crow, they're going to look for Akiza's wedding dress."
"And when are ya 'll going to find Yusei's suit?" Raven asked.
"And I swear Crow, if I get Ummm as an answer, you will regret it."
"Whoa Whoa! Keep your purple thong on, we're going Wednesday to look for it." Crow said.
Raven arched an eyebrow. "How do you know that I'm wearing a purple thong?"
"You mean I was right? Oh shit!"
Everyone but Raven laughed.
"Anyway! " Raven interrupted.
I stilled laughed. "Baby, aren't you supposed to be working?" I asked.
"I am working. I have a meeting to go to in an hour, but I wanted to talk to fiancé for a min before I go."
"Aww, that's sweet honey."
Raven stopped the car in my parent's driveway.
"Boys, I'm but we're gonna have to talk to you later."Raven said.
"Alright, you girls have fun." Crow replied.
"Wait! I have one request for your trip on Wednesday." I said.
"What is it Baby?" Yusei asked.
I looked at Raven, who smiled as if she thought the exact same thing I did.
"No Ties." We replied.
Yusei and Crow looked confused on the phone monitor.
"Excuse me?" Crow said.
"You heard us right, No bow ties, No neck ties, No ties period." Raven replied.
"Why?" Yusei asked.
"Because you look sexier without it baby." I replied.
"Actually you all look sexier without one." Raven added.
"Then no ties it is, we'll see you girls later." Crow said.
"I'm still gonna get you back for the thong comment, don't think I'll forget." Raven said, staring at Crow as if Imagining his torture right now.
"Aww C'mon! It was funny!" Crow pleaded.
"Bye Crow." Raven replied.
"Damn!" Crow said as he hung up.
"Akiza, tell your parents I said Hi." Yusei said.
I smiled. "Okay, Sweetheart. I Love you."
"Love you too." Then he hung up.
We got out the car, and headed for the front door of my parents house.
I opened the door and walked in.
"Mom? Dad? we're here."
"Hey." We walked to the foyer to see my dad coming downstairs.
"Hey dad." I replied.
"Hey Uncle Izayoi." Raven said.
"Good Morning."
"Is mom ready yet?" I asked.
"Not quite sweetheart, I believe she's fixing her hair."
"You look like you're getting ready to go somewhere." Raven said.
"I am, I have a meeting to go to in an hour," he looked at his watch. "But I have time to talk to my daughter and niece.
I raised my eyebrows. "A meeting? Where?"
He frowned. "Ener D. Why?"
I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Really Yusei?"
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"You're having a meeting with Yusei, and that dumb-butt just told me to tell you Hi when he knows he's just gonna see you in an hour."
He laughed. "So I'm having a meeting with my future son-in law. This oughta be fun."
"Just try not to yell at him daddy."
"Now you should know better; I would never yell at Yusei."
"I know that's right," We looked to the top of the stairs to see my mom coming down.
"We love and owe Yusei too much to ever be mad at him." She finished.
"Good morning Auntie." Raven said.
"Good morning Raven." She replied.
"Are you ready mom?"
"Of course, It's not everyday that I get to help my daughter pick out her wedding dress."
Raven and I smiled.
"Well, let's go. We can't keep Carly waiting." Raven said.
"She's right, Bye daddy. Have fun at your meeting."
He smiled. "Alright, you girls have a good time."
We walked outside to the car, and left to pick up Carly.
After awhile at the Bridal shop, I started to get frustrated.
"None of these dresses is the right one for me." I said, coming out of the dressing room for the 18th time in a row.
My mom rubbed my shoulders. "You've only tried on 18 dresses honey, before I married your father I had tried on 37 dresses before I found the right one. I'm sure the right one is in here."
I gave her a weak smile. "I'll keep trying."
"If it helps, you look amazingly beautiful in them all." Carly said.
"Thanks Carly."
"Raven Sinclaire?"
We all paused.
No one outside friends and family knows Raven's Last name.
Raven slowly turned around and screamed.
"Anthony!" she ran to hug him.
"Mon Dieu! What are you doing here? How did you find me?"
Anthony was tall, and very handsome in his suit. Nice black hair too.
Hold on! Keep your bra on! One question at a time." He said.
I burst out laughing.
"What is it with everybody telling me to calm down by crackin jokes on my clothes!" Raven said.
"Don't know." Anthony replied.
Raven smirked at him. ""So what brings you to New Domino?"
"Your cousin Actually."
I arched my eyebrow. "Me?" I asked.
He nodded. "Bonjour Akiza, I'm sorry I missed meeting you back when you were in France, Je'mappel Anthony. I hope you'll forgive me." He took my hand and kissed it.
"It's alright. I understand." I replied.
"And congratulations on your engagement."
I smiled. "Thank You."
"I see the Mademoiselle Saxe has filled you in on everything." Raven said.
Anthony laughed. "Yeah, Gabrielle told me."
If I remember correctly; Gabrielle is a French Fashion designer, who owns a design studio in Paris that I think she shares with Anthony. They're both designers.
"Actually," Anthony continued. "Wayne to Gabrielle that Simone told him about the email you sent to her about Akiza getting married. And everybody's upset that I couldn't shoot an email our way."
Raven put her hand on her forehead. "Well sorry. My bad." She replied.
"It's alright. We'll get over it, just don't ever do it again."
I smiled as I thought about something.
"I have a feeling that you didn't come all this way just to see lil ole me." I inquired.
Anthony smirked. "Dang, when Raven said you were Psychic; she wasn't joking."
He paused for a minute.
"When Gabrielle found out about your wedding, She suddenly had the urge to design a dress."
My eyes widened. "You guys designed a dress for me?"
Anthony nodded. "Several dresses actually."
"Several?" I asked.
Anthony handed me a scrapbook from his suitcase.
"Yes, came up with so many different designs. We thought we'd let you pick one."
I sat down with Raven and my mom as I flipped through the scrapbook and looked at the different designs.
"These are some Super-Hot designs Anthony." Raven said.
"I agree. Anthony, I don't know what to say. I like them all." I replied.
I paused looking at one dress that caught my eye.
"Wait a sec."
It was a mixture of Light Blue, Silver, and White, and the design of it kinda reminds me of Stardust Dragon.
If I wear this dress, Yusei would be grinning like a fool as I walk down the aisle…..And it does Look like Stardust Dragon in Dress form.
"This is it!" I said after a minute.
Raven, my mom, and Carly looked over my shoulder to see the dress I was eyeing.
"I think it's beautiful Akiza." My mom replied.
"Yusei's gonna LOVE this dress!" Raven shouted.
My eyes twinkled in delight.
"And Most Importantly, It'll be the most well-kept secret in New Domino since Zero-Reverse." I replied.
Raven nodded. "I agree."
I looked at Anthony. "Do you already have the dress made?"
Anthony looked at Raven and I sheepishly.
"Well yes, all the designs in that scrapbook were made once and put in the design vault; But unfortunately Gabrielle usually doesn't let the dress leave the vault… The best thing I can do for you is ask if she can make another one."
"Could you please?" I asked.
He smiled. "You know I will."
Raven smirked. "I know Gabrielle well enough to know that she won't let a second cope of a dress go for free…. What's the catch?"
Anthony arched an eyebrow. "Whatever the catch is, I don't know. But Gabrielle told me to hand you this."
He handed Raven a white gold sealed envelope, Raven opened it and read the note.
"Touché Gabrielle very very clever."
"What?" Anthony and I said in unison.
Raven smiled. "Gabrielle owes me 100 favors for being her model when she designed the 'Tribute To Japan' dress, she's throwing in 10 favors so that you can have the dress." She explained.
Anthony looked appalled. "You mean to tell me, you pay in favors?"
Raven gave him the innocent look. "Well, what can I say? Je special."
"Yes, you are special, special to me." I hugged Raven. "You're the Best cousin ever!"
"Really? Be sure you remember that when my birthday rolls around."
"Are you trying to kill my happy mood?"
She smiled. "No, sorry."
"I love you Raven."
"I love you too Akiza."
