I felt a loud bang of shrill screams. I plugged my ear under the pillow to cover my head. The alarm clock started ringing its exasperating racket creating or in other words a composition of debacle. I moaned, my arm sticking out look for the button, or for goodness sake the snooze key. Finding my side table empty I picked my head to see Kira there holding a beeper. Furious of my sleep being ruined I lazily threw my pillow at him, which missed. He laughed to make me get up to tackle him to the ground.
"What the big idea," I yelled into his ears.
"Don't tell me you forgot what today was?" He asked laughing even more.
I got of him, preoccupying myself in thought. 'What was today?'
A light bulb clicked in my head as I tackled him to the ground again.
"About time sister dear," He said
"Shut up, at least I got it," I smiled smacking him on the stomach.
"Hey you don't want the groom dieing on his wedding day, especially be the maid of honour." He chuckled.
I laughed as we both got off the floor. We hugged each other knowing it was his last day here before moving out with Lacus. I almost cried in sadness.
He left giving me a kiss on the forehead. I smiled a traveled to the washroom, cleaning myself for the big occasion. I had to go to so many places before the ceremony and knew Athrun was most likely to be busy all day before the ceremony as well. I rushed and wore a pair of denim jeans and a one strap shirt, grabbing a pair of flip-flop I rushed to the the foyer to meet, all two girls there.
"There you are Cagalli," Shiho said.
"We've been waiting for 15…" Mir started before I continued.
"No time, we're late," I said grabbing my two friends and rushing towards the car. We had a total of 5 hours.
Arriving at the parlor we headed in the meet Lacus already half way through her hair. I sat down and told the hairstylist the desired hair I wanted. It was a sleek and straight hair twist with a shine a straight bangs falling on one side. After getting shampooed and ironed they divided my hair to create the falling bang effect. When I was done they added some shine to create a glowing affect. They also added a crystal floured sterling silver band around my twist as well.
I absolutely loved it. I finished before everyone else. I took an hour, and waited another half for everyone else to finish. Lacus finished with a bit of finishing touches, and looked like model out of a wedding magazine. Mir and Shiho left with Lacus to help her at the chapel, since their dresses were there with Lacus's, while mine was at home.
I drove at a rapid pace to the manor. Heading inside, the grab a quick bit, I ran towards my room where my dress was inside a bag freshly ironed. I took it out and carefully placed it on the bed. Discarding my clothing without affecting my hair I wore new set of matching panties and bra. I wanted for some odd reason to make them match my green dress.
It was a full length stunning European satin gown. It had a princess seam mock corset top with lace up back and a side zipper. It was embroidered with a vertical beaded rhinestone trim to create detail around the bodice. It had delicate embroidery, which bordered the neckline and shoulder straps, and an A-line godet skirt, making it a two piece. A glittery brooch at the back created a simple sophisticated look that flattered my every figure, and brought out my curves. I wore a stunning silk satin shoe that had a 3" heel and romantic rhinestone-studded straps to captivate my knight in shining armor, or tux in this case.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Athrun's eyes were undeniably going to pop out at this rate. I twirled around loving the feeling of my dress, before grabbing my purse and coat toward the wedding hall. It was packed when I got there at hectic as well. There were only 2 and a half hours before the ceremony started and I was looking for the room where lacus was in. After about a good ten minutes I found them.
I entered in to find the three girls rushing here and there with there clothes and makeup. They turned towards me and pulled me on a chair.
"Cagalli, why don't you have any make-up on?" Mir asked astounded
"What make-up, I don't need stuff on my face," I replied
Lacus knew what I was in for and went to continue her business while I had, foundation, mascara, kohl, green shadow, accenting a brown-golden shade, a bit of pink blush which wasn't to noticeable and some clear lip gloss.
I noticed Mir and Shiho wearing their dresses, blue and orange for the spring theme. I was still in my coat. There was an hour left now. I wished Lacus good luck, and that she was beautiful, before heading out to find the groom and his best man. With luck I found Kira looking as nervous as he could find always fixing his tie. I walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder
"Relax Kira, it will go fine." I told him sincerely.
"I know thanks," He said hugging me.
I walked away from him to meet Dearka in the hallway; he kept looking here and there, until he saw me a raced at me, stopping abruptly in front.
"There you are," he said in an exhausted voice.
"What happened," I asked
"Athrun told me to give you this," He said handing me a box "He told me to tell you that he bought it and wanted you to wear it the ceremony. If you didn't like it then it was okay."
"Thank you," I said a he left saying "At least he won't kill me."
I grinned as I opened the box to see an outstanding design of a necklace that had rhinestone 'branches' connected together in an attractive pattern. The silver-plated chain was17" long, adjustable down to 12". The pendant part and the matching earrings are both 1-1/4" long. I was awed by its elegance. The colour matched my outfit moreover. I went inside an empty washroom and gently placed the necklace on top my neckline, it glistened against my skin. I took off my original earring and put on the matching pair.
"Just perfect," I said walking out to see the best man attending the guest. I hid from him, wanting Athrun to be surprised when he saw me. I observed him closely. He wore a 3-button, notch lapel, black, super 100's wools tuxedo. As well underneath he wore a point collar shirt, a satin fullback vest and a solid 4-in-hand tie in blue to match the theme of colour. He did look dashing and fine-looking. He sapphire hair was efficiently placed upon his hand and looked ideal.
I was behind the corner looking at him, my coat still hiding the treasure I wore. I sneaked away because he excused himself, to head in my direction. I ran as fast as my heels could take them, to the back of the flourish covered altar; I hid to see Athrun talking to Kira.
I sighed in relief 'Athrun you are not suppose to see me' I said in my mind.
Athrun checked his watch saying that about half an hour was left.
'What' I screamed in my mind, quickly sneaking out and heading to the room where the bride was. Inside my friends were helping Lacus out; I joined them after they greeted me. I quickly took of my coat, earning shrills of excitement form all three.
"OH MY GOD," they all screamed.
"Yah I know, it was hard to hide it from Athrun," I said.
"You did not show it to him right," Lacus asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"Who gave you that necklace Cagalli, it looks so exquisite," Miriallia asked
"The guy I am so lucky to be engaged to," I heaved a sigh happily.
"Wow!" Shiho exclaimed.
We continued to talk the time drawing in closer. Doing touch up on everyone we were ready to rumble.
Five minutes before it started we placed ourselves near the entrance. I was acting up on the nerves now, the guests had all arrived and the time had come.
The music started creating a sound of ceremonious melody, Miriallia started off in an even pace meeting Dearka in the middle, starting of the line near the altar, beside the groom. Next was Shiho meeting Yzak and ended on the other side where the other couple was. The flower girl and ring bearer were next, each one stopped in front of one of the two couples. Next was my moment of truth. Gracefully I entered the hall earning a whole bunch of stares. Athrun stood in front to meet me, his face in pure surprise. I had never seen him so astounded. His mouth was about to open, until he regained his equanimity to meet me as a walked leisurely to him. I was in bliss, when linked his arms with mine. We walked in sync to the middle. In my eyes we glowed. Kira come in front of us and stopped.
Lacus came out in a vision of an angel from heaven. Kira was in utter disbelief. I softened and held onto Athrun, seeing Lacus walk up to met Kira to begin their vows to eternal devotion to one another.
The priest came out to begin the vows.
As it continued on I held onto Athrun more, as they exchanged their vows, ring and promise. It was a beautiful atmosphere, the joining of two souls in my eyes.
I smiled in happiness for my brother. A prayed for their future, as the priest pronounces them husband and wife, both of them shared their fist kiss in their new title as the crowd applauded.
They walked down the hall together as everyone exited toward the reception place. It became empty until only the two of us remained alone. I turned towards him, as he placed a sweet kiss upon my lips, savoring the taste and holding me tight on him. I pulled him closer at me rejuvenating the lost flavour. He stuck his tongue inside my mouth and rubbed my tonsil earning a moan fluttering from my mouth to give him a moan. He broke off kissing as I pulled him to a wall as we kissed some more, and he placed kisses on my neck as I pulled on his hair. After kissing hard, we knew we had to stop. Breaking off Athrun fixed himself off. He ruined my make-up and unfortunately I had to put it back on, and fix my dress, hair and overall appearance to not look suspicious.
I pulled him to and empty room, seeing he still needed work on his appearance, I grabbed a brush and fix my hair, spraying hair-spray on to keep it the same shape. I predetermined my dress next unraveling the wrinkles, and straightening it off. I did my make-up next, earning a smirk from Athrun.
"Don't give me that look. As you know I was forced to put that stuff on," I said with a frown.
"I know, it's just you looks so divine right now," He said.
For some reason I didn't blush and replied "Thanks, you look no less than hot,"
"Hot is it," He said.
"Actually no, you look down right sexy," I said getting up and leaning on his chest.
'WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING' I thought in my mind.
"Oh!" He said a bit astonished.
I laughed and gave him a kiss on the jaw and lips before turning back to my lip gloss. 'Wow. I must be PMSing. How else am I so daring today,' I thought applying the gloss on my lips.
He came behind me and held me in front of the mirror.
"You know you look absolutely spectacular in your dress"
"Thanks," I said kind of surprised.
"I see you wore my necklace and earrings," He said.
I nodded "It looks beautiful."
"I noticed. You kind of glowed when you entered, I couldn't keep my eyes off you." He said.
I turned and encircle my arms around him hiding inside his coat.
"I'm done," I muffled.
"Okay let's go, we'll continue later on," winking at me before we left.
We entered the reception hall as they were announcing the newly weds. I held Athrun's hand moving around the crowd. The started the dancing as Athrun gently pulled me towards the dancing floor. It was a slow dance as I watched Kira and Lacus dance. Hey looked so content each other arm, just like I was.
Kira stepped between at one point sharing a dance with me, as Athrun shared one with Lacus. We talked about where they were heading. First the couple was going to Switzerland for their 1 month honeymoon, then come back to their new home, which was about a 5 minute walk away. I was so happy for them.
As he switched back to Lacus I went to get a drink. Quenching my thirst with punch, it was time for dinner. I took a seat beside Mir and Athrun as they served Italian. I ate it slowly looking around and the guest. A photographer was taking pictures of the couple outside in the balcony.
As the evening came to a halt, I said good bye to my brother and my sister-in-law in a few tears, we departed. Athrun and I stopped in front of the manor out of the car.
"I going to miss them a lot," I said to him.
"Yes, I will as well, but we'll get through this together," he said embracing me.
"I'm tired," I said yawning.
"Yah, I can see that," He said lifting my body up and carrying me to the room we shared.
I changed into a silk two piece pajamas the top, being a spaghetti strap, and went to the washroom to take off all the yucky make-up leaving a clear natural Cagalli, Athrun came in boxers with no shirt while I was drying my face. I turned to meet to soft flesh, as he started to kiss and nimble on my shoulder rubbing my back in to process as well. I melted in his arms. As he carried me to bed, I moaned as he pleasured me more in kisses and bites of love and passion.
I tried to respond, but with the energy I had left, it was not likely. I looked at him as he started at me knowing exactly what I wanted.
Lying down and tucking me near him by wrapping his arms around me, we shared one last kiss, before falling into a peaceful sleep.
