"Ooh. Sanji's gonna look so good in this." I'm walking out of the tailors hugging the garment box to my chest.
I had found the Men's Clothing shop on
Lilly Street like Mistress Murasaki said.
It was a quant little shop that had ivy growing up the side.
When I first walked in, I had been greeted by a very petit old gentleman.
He was one of those friendly old men who were cute and cuddly and you couldn't help but to love immediately.
He smiled brightly when I told him I had been referred to him by Mistress Murasaki and showed him my dress.
"Yes, yes." He said walking to the back room "I have just the thing for your young man."
He retuned with a garment box and set it on a table.
The old man took the lid off and started laying out the garments on the table.
There
was a red wine silk dress shirt. The sleeves of the shirt were just a
little bit puffy and flowy and gathered at a stiff cuff.
Next
came silky a pearl white tailored vest. The vest had an intricate
embroidered design in a slightly different shade of white.
A tie to match the vest came out.
Gloves and white dress pants followed.
> "Squee 3"
I couldn't hold back my girly squeal of delight "Ohmgod this is perfect! Sanji'll look so hot in this…um…I mean ;…"
The old man chuckles.
He rang up my purchase and asked if there was anything else.
"Um…well…do you think you could put a gift bow on it?" It was the first thing I'd ever bought for Sanji and now that I thought about it I don't think I'd ever given Sanji a gift before.
I'm such a lousy girlfriend…um…fiancé…wow that's so weird…teehee…
"Here you are my dear." The old man smiles handing me the garment box with a big red ribbon with a bow tied around it.
As I walk down the street I get a mental image of Sanji in the suit I just bought.
> "Smexy hotness… 3"
Mmmm.
>"Let's hurry up and get married so we can see Sanji looking all hot and sexy in his suit."
Ya, then we can get to the honeymoon and I can watch him take it off.
At that point some very dirty erotic images fill my head.
Heehee.
I head back to the Going Merry to unload my days plunder.
"Ah, it's so much fun going shopping. I wish I could do it more often."
I'm in my room putting things away when the door opens and the object of my affection walks in.
"Ah! Nami-chan my dearest love there you are." Sanji plops a vase full assorted flowers on my desk.
He then walks over and puts a crown of wisteria on my head and gives me a short sweet kiss.
I giggle "The spring air certainly has gotten to you."
"Yes it has!" beams Sanji "On top of that I'm in love!"
Sanji picks me up by the waist and starts spinning me.
I laugh and giggle as we spin.
When he stops spinning I wrap my legs around Sanji's waist and kiss him deeply and passionately.
God I love this man.
When we pull away from our kiss Sanji grins wide "Sa! Nami chan, put on something nice and cute. We're going on a date."
"A date?"
"Yup! First there's this very nice café on the wharf where you'll get to meet two individuals of interest I talked to today for tea; and then I have reservations for 7:00 at the best restaurant on Fujishima."
I smile "Neat a date." Come to think of it… "This'll be our first date won't it?"
"Yup."
I laugh. "We've been a couple for over two months and are now even engaged and we've never even been on a date yet."
Sanji laughs too. "I know hu, but when would we have ever gotten a chance to? The past few islands we hit weren't exactly the pinnacle of romantic ambiance."
"True." The past few islands had been…well…um…oh how could you describe them? Treacherous…unpleasant…dumps…hell holes…there was that one Swamp Island Luffy just had to explore…also that 'Hunted Pirate Graveyard' which just turned out to be a pirate staging something to embezzle money from the villagers…
---…I would've gotten away with if it hadn't been for you meddling kids! ---
And
how could I forget the island with the Ancient Temple of King 'whatever
his name was' that was "Cursed"; the treasure that was there was meager
and pitiful and sooo not worth all the booby traps. I was almost
decapitated and skewered so many times I lost count…
Fucking Luffy and his adventure fetish. I swear he totally gets off on things like that.
I shiver.
"You see my point then."
"Yes." I nod trying to block the memories of the previous 'adventures' "I'm so glad we came to this island. We may not get another chance like this for a long time."
"My thought's exactly my love." Smiles Sanji. "So slip into something nice and let's be off."
I throw on the new light pink flowy silky flare sleeve shirt that tied in the front with sakrua print short dress I bought today and my strappy sandals.
Sanji sticks with his classic dress shirt and pants. Guys have it so easy when it comes to dressing nice. Though, Sanji really did look really hot in dress clothes.
My mind flashes back to my image of him looking all sexy in his wedding suit…taking it off…piece by piece…
Mmm…
"Nami chan?"
"Hm?" I snap out of my fantasy that would soon become reality.
"What were you thinking about?"
I smile sweetly "You."
He smiles back "Good thoughts?"
"Very good thoughts."
I wrap my arms around one of his and we head into town.
We walk down to the wharf where Sanji leads me to a cute little sea side café.
Café tables are set up out side and are fenced in by a low wrought iron fence covered in lavender clematis.
Sitting at a corner table are an older man and woman.
The man has big round glasses with salt and pepper hair and mustache.
The woman has short curly black hair and very defined features.
They both wave at Sanji as we approach.
"Nami this is Joshua Reed from Hanajima's marriage bureau and Her Honor Judge Charity Rosenfield."
"Nice to meet you." I smile shaking the hands they offer. Wow, Sanji had been busy today too.
Sanji and I sit down with Mr. Reed and Judge Rosenfield and they explain to us the details of how a couple could go about getting married here on Hanajima, which was actually quite simple. All we really needed to do was fill out the application for a license, which Mr. Reed had for us there. The marriage bureau office was closed for the evening but Mr. Reed said that he'd process the application first thing in the morning and we could pick up our license and marriage certificate any time after 9am.
The people here were very laid back and casual. Judge Rosenfield tells us about how Hanajima was know for it's romantic appeal and it being a well sought after place for couples and weddings. Thus the process for getting married was quick and simple to make it easy for couples. There were more important things to worry about without having to be bogged down it paper work and red tape.
It was a pleasant convenience for us.
The bulk of our discussion was spent planning when and where to have the ceremony.
It was our good luck that Judge Rosenfield had an opening in her schedule for the day after tomorrow.
After deciding on a time, came the hard part.
Mr. Reed pulls out three huge books full of pictures of possible wedding locations on the five Hanajima islands.
Sanji and I spent the good part of an hour sifting though the pages.
It was full of rose gardens, wisteria covered arches and gazebos, landscaped bluffs over looking the sea, Sakura groves, peaceful oriental gardens and mystical gardens that looked as if fairies lived there.
There where so many beautiful spots. It was hard to choose.
After choosing a spot, Sanji and I enjoyed tea with Mr. Reed and Judge Rosenfield and we chat for a bit.
They ask about our travels and we tell them abridged bits and pieces of our various 'adventures'.
"So your captain wants to be the King of Pirates eh." Laughs Mr. Reed, "He sounds like quite an interesting fellow."
I giggle. "Interesting is one way of describing Luffy."
"There's no stopping him once he's put his mind to something." adds Sanji "He kind of has a narrow field of vision when it comes to doing things."
"Well that's good in a way." Said Judge Rosenfield "He's focused and he knows what he wants. He seems like a good leader."
"Hu?" Sanji and I in unison.
"Well true he may not be…sharpest knife in the drawer but he's wise enough to know and acknowledge his weakness and seek those who have the skills and intelligence he lacks to become his companions."
Mr. Reed nods. "From what it sounds like to me, you all are very close."
Sanji and I look at each other and smile.
"Ya." I admit "We really are. They can be a handful and a headace some times but, I really love the people I'm traveling with."
"Ya…I guess life would be pretty dull without Luffy and Marimo head."
"Aw, you'd miss Zoro if he was gone wouldn't you." I tease.
"Tell him that and I'll stop doing that thing with your neck you like so much."
>"Eep!"
- "Nooo! I really like it when he does that."
"My lips are sealed darling." I laugh nervously
After our tea with Mr. Reed and Judge Rosenfield we head over to Fujishima for our dinner date.
The restaurant was extremely classy and the very picture of romantic ambiance.
We
sit out on the open air patio that over looked a lily pond with
sweeping willow trees and graceful swans. We watched the sunset behind
the hills.
Once the sun was down waiters came to light the soft glowing candles.
The food was good, though I was a bit biased.
After the main course we shared a colossal chocolate fudge brownie toped with vanilla bean ice cream and oozing with raspberry chocolate sauce, which Sanji mostly fed me.
Over dessert we discussed our plans for tomorrow.
"We still need to get a ring for you Sanji. I saw a nice jeweler while I was out shopping today."
Sanji nods "We can go after we stop at the wedding bureau office."
"I'm thinking we should get a hotel room too." I add "A chance to really be alone for once. No interruptions."
"Ya." Sanji laughs "And I'm sure the others would appreciate not having to be subjected to our wedding night activities."
I laugh too. "I'm sure."
"Ooh! You are gonna bake us a wedding cake aren't you." I smile brightly at Sanji
Sanji gets his big proud grin on his face. "But of course my love. Would I pass up such an opportunity?"
"Yay! Yummy Sanji-kun wedding cake!"
Sanji laughs and leans over to kiss me. "I love you Nami."
"I love you too Sanji."
That night I let myself once again drown in the passion and ecstasy Sanji so adeptly bestows.
I writhe against him gasping and moaning in pleasure and rapture as his throbbing warmth pulses deep within me.
We come to the edge of ecstasy and go over together.
When we come back down to earth I wrap myself in his warmth and comfort.
And let myself be caught up in his tenderness, love and affection.
"I love being loved by you Sanji." I whisper
I feel a tender kiss on my forehead "I love loving you Nami."
He holds me close and I drift off to sleep within the strong loving arms of my beloved Sanji-kun.
Soon my love.
Soon we'd be married.
