THIS CHAPTER'S FOR MIAMOUSE!!!
As Kel and Dom walked towards their rooms, Neal ran up to them.
"Where were you two last night?! We were looking everywhere for you! We thought you were kidnapped, Kel, until we found out that Dom was missing, too! YOU," Neal growled, stabbing Dom in the chest with his forefinger, "YOU had better not done anything to her. I mean it."
Dom looked behind Neal at Kel. She mouthed, "I told you so." He grinned, brushing past Neal to stand next to her. Casually, he slung an arm around her, pecking her on the lips. She smiled with love at him. Leaning down, he whispered into her ear.
"Although you look ravishing in that kimono, I don't think that the spidren blood smeared across it is very becoming on you." His eyes twinkled with mirth. Kel hid her blush behind her Yamani mask. She had forgotten about that. Dom walked her back to her rooms, then bowed and kissed her hand, as if she were at court. Kel shooed him away, but not before kissing him and telling him she would see him later. Sighing, she took a quick bath, then put on clean breeches and a shirt. As she was tying her hair back into a horsetail, she remembered she still had to go pick up her bridesmaid dress in Yuki's rooms. Groaning, she made her way down the hallway.
When she reached Yuki's rooms, she didn't bother knocking. As she opened the door, she gaped. Neal and Yuki were making out, so absorbed in each other they didn't even notice her walk in. She couldn't help it- Kel roared with laughter. Neal and Yuki sprang apart like startled rabbits. Yuki quickly unhitched her fan and hid the bottom part of her face. Neal just sat there, smiling sheepishly. Composing herself, she wiped streaming eyes that held tears with her sleeve. Raising an eyebrow, she coughed.
"Ahem. Yuki. I needed to pick up my bridesmaid's dress from you," she said, quivering with suppressed laughter. Yuki, glad to have something to do, rushed to her closet. Neal was still sitting there, except now it was with the air of awkwardness. Finally, Yuki came back with a lavender dress. She handed it to Kel, not looking her in the face. Kel clasped her shoulder, saying, "Yuki, that was...uh...gross. You guys really need to work on that. GOOO!" with that said, she shuddered, then left, leaving a very embarrassed couple behind her. Still giggling, she opened her door and laid the dress on the bed to look at it. Her laughter abruptly stopped. Kel's eyes widened.
The dress was beautiful. The sleeves of the dress stopped at her elbows, although they fanned out. The neckline, to Kel's horror, was extremely low, covered with lace patterns of Yamani flowers. The lace also was pink, making the whole dress stand out. The dress slimmed at the hips, making whoever would wear it show off their curves. Kel shook her head. This had got to be the most girlish thing she had ever worn. She was pretty sure, though, that Dom would be mighty happy with the neckline, at least.
1 week later
Kel decided she wanted to go practice her hand-to-hand combat. She walked to the practice courts, surprised to find it empty. Shrugging, she sat down and started to stretch.
When she had finished, she began to punch and kick a practice dummy. Two weeks, she thought, and I still have so much to do before the wedding. What in Mithros' name was I thinking?! Grrrr! She began to attack furiously, picking up the pace until her arms and legs were a blur. She felt someone watching, but she didn't care. Finally, the dummy's head gave way, flying ten feet from her. She stood there, bent over, panting.
Kel felt a hand on her back. She grabbed it, her page training taking over, and flipped the poor soul onto their back. She gasped when she saw who it was. "Ohmygosh I'm so sorry, Dom!" Kel exclaimed, extending her hand down towards him. He grabbed her hand then tugged, so that she was on top of him, her face scant few inches away from his. Dom closed that space, his lips meeting hers. Kel closed her eyes and kissed him back, slowly and sweetly, enjoying the taste of him. When they pulled apart, it was from lack of air. Kel grinned down at him, kissed him on the cheek, then sighed happily. This was what she was thinking when she said yes. She rolled over so that they lay side by side. Dom snaked his arm around her, drawing her closer.
"I love you Dom," she said, resting her head on his muscled chest.
"You'd better, because I love you too," he replied, kissing her forehead. Kel smiled slightly. Remembering how much she still had to do, she got up, running her hand through her shoulder-length hair. Sensing her stress, Dom got up also. "What's wrong, love?" he asked, lifting her chin with cool fingers, forcing her to look at him.
Kel adverted her gaze, mumbling, "nothing." Dom snorted.
"You know I know you better than that. Kel, tell me the truth. You're the worst liar I've ever met. Don't forget, I saw you beat the living daylights out of that," he said, pointing to the mangled dummy. "Speak up. Now." He ordered. Kel lifted her eyes, meeting his piercing blue eyes that were filled with so much concern for her.
"It's the wedding. I have so much to do still, not to mention Yuki and Neal's wedding tomorrow. I still have to order the dress, not to mention the measurements. We have to get all the bridesmaids and groomsmen fitted, and half of my family doesn't know who you are, still. The only thing I've told them is that I'm getting married, and I needed them to help out. We still haven't told the people of New Hope, either. Not to mention, you family doesn't even know I exist," at the last part, she started to cry. Dom's concern in his eyes deepened as he gently brushed the steadily falling tears from Kel's tanned cheek.
"It'll work out. I promise," he said, gathering her up into his arms. Kel buried her face in his shoulder. Dom rubbed her back, murmuring soothingly. When she had finished crying, she stepped away, blushing slightly. She hadn't cried since Cleon had broken up with her to marry that heiress, over two years ago. Dom held her face in his hand, rubbing his thumb against her jaw line.
"I bet right now I look like an old hag with pink eye right now," she said.
"No," Dom whispered hoarsely, his breath making her shiver. "You look as beautiful as always. With that, he met her lips. Kel wrapped her arms around his neck hesitantly, as he pulled her closer. She was shocked at how passionately he was. As they pulled away, Kel looked into his deep eyes, reflecting her love with his. She pulled him in for another kiss, this time matching his longing. He gently eased his lips over hers, caressing them. One of his arms moved from her waist to cradle her head. This time it was Dom who pulled away. As she looked into his blue eyes, showing as much love as ever, she knew that they would make it. It would be okay.
