Seto Kaiba's Ray of Light Part 21: Dress and Tuxedo Shopping
I smiled as Tea and I walked through the bridal shop. There were so many dresses to choose from that I didn't know where to start first. Seto and I agreed on using blue and white as the "theme" to our wedding, so you'd think that would make the shopping easier for me. There were so many shades of blue to choose from. After sending a quick text to Seto, he said to try and match the blue in his eyes. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tea.
"Finally got an idea on a shade of blue for the dresses. He says to find a deep blue that matches the color of his eyes. Hopefully, this bit of information makes looking easier."
"What should we do about the bridesmaid and Maid of Honor dresses?"
"Well, I got Serenity's measurements, so it's now just a matter of finding a dress. Your dresses will be white and flow at the bottom, and a deep blue ribbon can be tied around the waist. I just hope we can find something like that here."
Tea smiled and shook her head.
"I'll worry about that. As the bride, you should be worrying about finding your own dress, Olivia. How about I text when I find the dresses you're looking for?"
"Sounds good to me. See you later."
After Tea walked off, I headed over to where the bridal gowns were hung. I smiled as I looked through them. There were so many styles, sizes, and colors to choose from that I didn't know where to start.
"Pardon me, Miss Pegasus. May I assist you in any way?"
I turned to see the store manager and smiled. I told Margo that I would shopping here today for a gown and she made sure I would be comfortable here. Her shop was usually closed on weekends, but she allowed me and Tea in through the back so we could have privacy. I had also told Margo that I would have the money sent to her by the time the shop reopened on Monday, and she was happy to agree to those terms.
"Hello, Margo. Yes, I think you can help me. My fiancé and I have chosen blue and white as the colors for our ceremony, so I'm in need of anything blue you have that can match the blue in his eyes."
"I am certain we can find the right dress for you, Miss Pegasus. Follow me."
I felt like I was in that shop forever but I was only there for an hour before I finally found a dress that I fell in love with. I managed to find a white dress that had blue underneath the bust of the dress and looped around the back of it, ending just above my bottom. I smiled and waved Tea over, who had found the dresses for herself and Serenity. Tea smiled when she saw the dress I picked out.
"Oh Olivia, that dress is perfect on you! Kaiba is going to love it!"
"It's settled, then. Margo, I'll take this one."
"Excellent choice."
"I'll have an associate of my father's send the money by Monday. Thanks a lot for helping me out today."
To make sure Seto didn't come home and try to sneak a peek at my dress, Tea decided to have it stay in Yugi's place. Once I arrived back home, I got a call from my father.
"Hi, Daddy…Yeah, I just got back…Oh, really. What's up?...You're kidding! When?!...Daddy, that's amazing! Wait, does this mean you'll be here for the wedding?...I'm happy to hear that, Daddy, I really am. This means we'll be able to see each other more often…More good news? What else is there?...You mean you're moving into a place not too far from the mansion?...That is good news!...Oh of course I'll help with the move. I plan on going with you to check out the new building, too…Well if I take over someday, I'll need to know my way around…Hey Daddy, I gotta go. I promised Seto I'd have dinner ready when he got done tuxedo shopping…I love you, too, Daddy. Bye."
I smiled as my talk with my father replayed itself in my head. Him moving Industrial Illusions to Domino meant he and I could spend more time together. It would also mean more jobs for people that hadn't found work yet. With that in mind, I decided to start dinner.
Seto's POV:
After finding the right tuxedos to fit the color scheme for my wedding, I went to pay for them. Yugi and Joey joined me and Mokuba since they needed to be here to get their measurements taken. Yugi smiled and looked at how many people were watching us.
"Looks like you're even more of a celebrity than before, Kaiba."
"It's the price to pay when you used to be a teenaged CEO. I'm doing what I usually do when I have people staring at me."
"Which is what?"
"I simply ignore them and pretend that no one else is here."
Joey snickered at the faces of the people that managed to hear my comment. Some faces held shock while others held disgust. I smirked and shrugged my shoulders at the nosy people.
"If you'd rather I not intrude into your personal business, then I suggest you don't intrude in mine."
Mokuba laughed as the people gasped then stormed off.
"Wow, bro. You told them off without sounding rude. Looks like being with Olivia softened you up a bit."
"Not necessarily. I wanted to tell them off while sounding polite, so I did. I see no harm in that."
"Still, it was a nice touch, Richboy."
I shook my head, paid for the tuxedos, and we went out separate ways. Mokuba went to put our suits away and I stayed downstairs when I smelled something wonderful coming from the kitchen.
"Olivia?"
"In the kitchen making dinner. Why don't you make yourself comfortable while I finish?"
I decided to ignore her suggestion and walked quietly into the kitchen, putting my arms around her from behind.
"What if I'm quite comfortable here with my lovely fiancé?"
"Then I guess you're stuck here."
After exchanging a quick kiss, I took a glance at what she was cooking.
"Italian?"
"Had ingredients for lasagna, so I decided to make it. You don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all. It happens to be one of my favorite foods."
As we ate a quiet dinner together, I thought back on how far the two of us have come since we reunited. What started out as a close friendship turned into a crush, and that crush turned into a love that I never thought I'd experience. Olivia changed what I thought would be a lonely future for me, and I would be spending the rest of our lives repaying her for it. Of course, I didn't mind that at all.
That's it for part 21. Hope you all liked it. Part 22 will be in Seto's POV and begins with him and Pegasus talking in Seto's office at Kaiba Corp. about the upcoming wedding. Also in part 22, the happy couple discuss who will be in the wedding party. Stay tuned because in the upcoming part 23,you'll be cordially invited to the wedding of the century as Seto Kaiba and Olivia Pegasus become husband and wife :D
