OK...Just to vent. YES! I am pissed at Ken Corday and Days of Our Lives for making the egregious mistake of not renewing Crystal's contract. For the show, I see this as a beginning of the end. I honestly expect the show to be cancelled when its renewal comes up again. Aside from James Scott, she probably has the biggest fan base and we are a very loyal bunch. Crystal was poorly written for, but she did the best she could with the material she was given. Crystal's last day airing on Days will be the last episode of Days that I ever watch again. I'm done!

Now onto Crystal. I see this as a plus. Now she can focus all of her time and energy into her web projects and if she decides not to work on another daytime drama she can pick and choose what other projects she wants to do without have to answer or get permission from NBC. You all remember when she went back to Days, NBC had to give her permission to star in Venice. I'm also looking forward to her new web series The Grove. I know I won't get to see Crystal on TV as often as I would like, but there is YT for Otalia videos and I have both Venice DVDs, so I can at least watch her whenever I want to.

I've said this on a couple of boards and other soap related websites. I truly believe that Ken Corday is jealous of Crystal's success. With very little money, a volunteer crew and loyal friends she created a successful show. Actors were knocking down her door to be a part of Venice. I haven't heard of any actors knocking down Kenny's door to be on Days. The woman knows every single side of this business; not only the acting, but the writing and how to tell a story with a slow build. She knows how to assemble the right people, the actors, Susan Flannery as a director and adding Jill Laurie Hurst to the writing team. She also knows the monetary side of things. Crystal would have never contemplated doing Venice if there any possibility of her losing money hand over fist. She's too smart for that. And what she doesn't know, she LEARNS! If you tried to put the knowledge that she has learn about websites, servers and band with into Ken Corday's brain; he head would explode. And let's face it, folks, that would be an improvement.

So to Crystal I say onward to The Grove and back to Venice. I will gladly buy merchandise and subscriptions in total support of her endeavors. The one and only thing I will thank Days of Our Lives for is Crystal's appearance at the Atlanta book signing. That may have very well been my only opportunity to meet her and it's an experience I will cherish always and never forget.

Now on to the next chapter of You Are May Everything. Forgive me for not giving you a detailed wedding. I've written several in the last few stories I've written, so I am kinda weddinged out. Alas, enjoy!

Chapter 36

The next morning both ladies awoke in plenty of time to not be rushed. After breakfast each had appointments for some pampering: mani/pedis, massages and lastly getting their hair and makeup done. Natalia stayed in the house and got dressed there. Olivia got dressed in one of the tents that had been setup outside off to the side of where the altar and congregation were setup. Olivia had hired additional security, Greg and Leon were in charge of that. They had setup a checkpoint at the driveway entrance on the main road. No one got in unless they were on the invite list and Olivia and Natalia had also provided security with a list of names that were absolutely not to be admitted.

So far things were moving smoothly. Both ladies were almost ready, just the last minute touches of jewelry, flowers, bouquets and such. Soon the music began and Emma and Ava were making their way down the aisle. Next Olivia came down the aisle on Sam's arm and lastly Natalia's on Rafe's arm. Their vows were beautiful, heartfelt and teary eyed as expected. The kiss between the brides was soft and gentle. Their kisses were only broken when the congregation began clapping and hollering congrats to the brides. Both women blushed as the separated remembering that they had an audience. They quickly headed back up the aisle and into the farmhouse and straight to their bedroom.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, Olivia pushed Natalia up against the door kissing her hard. Only when oxygen became a necessity did they break their kiss.

"We did it! We're married!" Said Olivia.

"Yes, we are my love, forever." Replied Natalia as she gave Olivia a chaste kiss.

"Come on, Honey; we need to get changed. We still have our reception to attend." Continued Natalia.

"We can be late, you know, fashionably late." Said Olivia with a hint of mischief as she unzipped her wife's dress.

After Natalia stepped out of the dress and laid it on the bed, she turned to help her wife out of her wedding attire. Now both ladies were clad in their only underwear and hose. Olivia pulled her wife against her body, needing to feel as much skin as she could. She drewl Natalia into a searing kiss; her tongue demanding entrance. Olivia started moving them towards the bed and when the backs of Natalia's legs came in contact with the bed, she reluctantly broke the kiss.

"Un uh. Later. There'll be plenty of time later for that. Let's get dressed." Said Natalia as she stepped away from Olivia picking up her wedding gown to hang in their closet.

Olivia pouted at the loss of her wife in her arms and the feeling of her empty lips.

"Just so you know, I'd rather lock ourselves in here instead of entertaining a barn full of people. Just sayin'." Replied Olivia.

"Oh, I know, Honey. Trust me. We will have plenty of time for that later. Do you need to take a cold shower before changing?" Teased Natalia as she slipped into her sundress for the reception.

Olivia stuck her tongue out at her wife.

"No, spoilsport. I think I can manage, thank you very much." Replied Olivia.

"Good to know. Now get dressed. We don't want to keep our guests waiting."

"You don't, I do."

"Olivia?"

"Fine fine. I'm going. OK?" Said Olivia as she retrieved her suit that she is wearing to the reception.

Now both ladies were dressed and descended the stairs to the living room finding Ava there waiting.

"Finally! Did you guys have to have a quickie or something?" Said Ava sarcastically.

"Ava! No, we did not have a quickie!" Replied Olivia emphatically.

The ladies passed Ava heading into the kitchen to the back door when Ava spoke again.

"I get it. Natalia would let you." Said Ava.

Olivia stopped and turned back to Ava giving her a hard stare before continuing out the back door.

"She's so whipped." Said Ava under her breath.

After a couple of hours dancing, toasting and enjoy their time with family and friends, the brides said their goodbyes. They would be seeing family tomorrow, so they took a few minutes to speak to their other guests thanking each of them for their love and support. The appropriately decorated limo arrived and the ladies ushered themselves into the back. They spent the entire ride to the Beacon making out in the back of the limo. This was a first for Natalia so the ladies just enjoyed themselves and had fun.

When they arrived at the Beacon, there waiting for them at the entrance were just about every employee who was working that day. They formed a procession of two lines that the ladies would have to walk through. As they did, they were peppered with birdseed and congratulations. They walked hand in hand with their free hands each carrying their overnight bags and purses. The bellhop was holding the elevator for the couple. Once inside, alone, Olivia pushed the button for the top floor for the penthouse suite and then pulled Natalia in for a kiss. Their kiss lasted the entire ride; as the elevator slowed to a stop so did their kisses. Olivia gently rested her forehead against her wife's drinking in the love she saw in her eyes.

They exited the elevator still hand in hand walking to the door to their room for the next 18 to 20 hours. Olivia swiped the key card and opened the door. She stopped her wife as Natalia started into the room.

"I…" Started Olivia.

"What? Is something wrong?" Asked Natalia.

"No, it's just…I know you like tradition and I can't…"

A light bulb went off in Natalia's head. She took Olivia's bag and purse from her wife and set them just inside the door along with her bag and purse. Natalia stood back up and pulled Olivia into her arms. A hand reached up to gently caress her cheek as Natalia looked deep into Olivia's eyes.

"Do you trust me?" Asked Natalia.

"With my life." Replied Olivia barely above a whisper.

Natalia placed a chaste kiss to her wife's lips. As she pulled away, she stepped to Olivia's side one arm across the back just below her shoulders and the other quickly went behind her knees as Natalia bent down to pick up her wife.

"Nata…!" Exclaimed Olivia.

The only reason Olivia didn't finish her thought was because she was amazed at how easily Natalia picked her up and carried her across the threshold. The door closed behind them as Natalia reached the bed and easily laid her wife down.

"Who said I had to be the one carried across the threshold?" Asked Natalia still standing but supporting her weight on the bed with a hand at each of Olivia's shoulders.

"No one…I just…How the hell did you manage to do that?"

"Years of hard labor, Olivia. It finally came in handy wouldn't you say?" Replied Natalia as she kissed her wife.

Olivia started to sit up and Natalia moved to allow her to stand. Now was the first time that they paid any attention to their room. There were lit candles sprinkled about the room; in one corner was a room service cart with a bottle of chilling champagne, a bowl of beautiful ripe strawberries and a unlit burner under a bowl of chocolate waiting to be melted..

Olivia turned back to her wife and pulled Natalia close to her. Their lips gravitated towards each. Slowly a dance of kisses, caresses and undressing began; soon completely unclothed the ladies fell into bed and made love for the first time as a married couple.

It had been a few hours now; the ladies had made love and fallen sleep. Not only exhausted from their bedroom activities, but from the week building up the wedding. Olivia woke first. She slid from the bed and walked over to the room service cart. She pulled the cap off of the burner and lit it to begin melting the chocolate. After a few minutes and with a little bit of stirring the chocolate was melting easily. She rolled the cart back over to the bed. After she got back in bed she positioned the cart next to her side of the bed. Olivia gently pulled the sheet from her wife's body. Natalia was on her back and didn't move as the sheet was pulled from body.

Olivia dipped the spoon back into the chocolate and dripped off a bit of the excess. As she turned back to her wife a telling smile graced her face. Olivia touched the spoon to her lips checking that the temperature was not too hot. Satisfied, she proceeded to bring the spoon within a few inches of her wife's chest. Slowly, she drizzled the chocolate on Natalia's upper chest then across each breast, circling the nipple and leaving a little to puddle in the small of Natalia's throat. Olivia quickly returned the spoon to the bowl and slid down in the bed and next to her wife.

Olivia stared a moment at Natalia still sleeping peacefully unaware of her wife's ministrations. Olivia moved slowly lowering her lips to the sweetness that now decorated Natalia's body. Her lips first sought out that soft patch of skin at the top of Natalia's chest next to her shoulder. As Olivia followed the trail of chocolate soft moans we now escaping from Natalia's mouth. Olivia felt small caresses now being drawn on her back, unconsciously by her wife. She continued along the trail to that now hardening nub. Olivia took her time in cleaning all the chocolate from her wife's breast.

It was now that Natalia became fully awake to her wife's actions; as she blinked her eyes awake clearing the lingering sleep from them she saw the strings of brown liquid across her body. She smiled and thought of how beautiful loving Olivia truly is; not only in the physical sense but how connected she felt to Olivia. The things that Olivia made her feel were beyond all her prior conception about the physical act of making love.

"Save some of that for me." Said Natalia now briefly interrupting her wife.

When Olivia lifted her head from Natalia's breast to look into her wife's eyes, she saw a mischievous twinkle about them. Natalia saw very dilated green eyes. With only the candle light in the room, her wife's eyes looked the darkest green she had ever seen them.

"Hey." Replied Olivia.

"Having fun?" Asked Natalia.

"Tons, care to joint me?"

"Always."

Olivia moved up slightly to capture Natalia's lips. Natalia could taste the remnants of the chocolate on Olivia's lips and tongue. The kiss didn't end until Natalia was satisfied that she had sufficiently removed all of the lingering chocolate.

Olivia returned to her edible canvas before giving Natalia a turn with the sugary concoction. A few hours later all of the chocolate was gone and nearly all of the champagne; however there still sat on the room service cart the full bowl of strawberries.
