The next day was a day, I would never forget. It the pick your wedding dress day, which meant being dragged around and trying out over a billion dresses. I would have Lacus chose one for me, but I wanted to impress everyone with the fact that I know how to dress. All the girls went with me, while all the boys went with Athrun for tuxedos for the groom, the groomsmen and the best man or Kira.
I woke up early for the big day, and had a few minute of alone time with Athrun. We got up and I went into the shower. Brushing my teeth and washing my face, I exited in my bath robe all to see a hot and handsome Athrun changing. I was red at the sight. I turned away and walked toward the closet, to pick out my clothes. I took of my robe, to leave myself naked, until Mr. Zala came in looking for socks. I shrieked and picked up my bath robe, placing it in front to cover me. He smirked at me daring and moving forward, I blushed and moved back, until I reached the wall. He came closer and closer and whispered into my ear "We aren't even yet,"
I darkened my blush remembering what I saw and shrivelled down. He came down with me and kissed my cheek.
"I can always wait…until our night," He said grabbing his socks and leaving me with a tantalizing kiss.
I let out a breath and mumbled, "I can't wait either,"
I got up and wore my underwear and bra. I quickly chose some clothes to wear. I checked to temperature to notice it was relatively warm, so I wore layered white and violet circle cut skirt, with a white short sleeve V-neck Henley. On feet were flats with straps and my neck had a beaded scarf. I clipped my hair up and went.
I saw Athrun in the washroom. I walked and embraced him from behind.
"I'm going to miss you," I mumbled
"Then how about I come with you," He suggested
"But I don't want you to see my dress," I said this time my cheek pressing his back.
"Then you have to go," He said
"Fine," I exasperated trying to leave but he grabbed onto my arms. He turned me to face the mirror. He had his arms around my waist and said "Perfect,"
A flash was seen, and I saw Meyrin and Luna come in.
"What a Kodak moment," Luna sighed
I laughed and kissed Athrun on the earning cat calls before leaving.
I grabbed a bowl and ate some cereal, with some milk, washing my hands before leaving.
I was in the passenger seat with the window opened and enjoying the last bit of fresh air I had, before I would be congested in a room full of dresses. Soon after we arrived at a store. Luckily for me, it would be the only store I had to visit and where I found my piece of heaven to wear down the aisle. There was only one problem, there were close to five thousand dresses, and I had to choose one.
I entered with a water bottle and looked at the large hallway of dresses, Stellar whispered into my ear, "This is going to take a long time."
I nodded and took the first step. Walking into the first lane of dresses. I took one out and showed it to the. Thumbs down, because it was not me.
Everyone showed different dresses me and I tried on close to fifty dresses in 6 hours. There were so many, and we barely broke three thousand. I walked and walked along the lanes, everyone split up. I kept on shaking my head in disgust as passed by a few revealing ones. I went back to see everyone exhausted. I had energy left, and I told them I'd stay and look for a few more hours. The disagreed, but I somehow managed and got them to agree and go home and rest for the rest of the evening. I turned on my phone in front of them and told them I would be back in three hours maximum, and if I wasn't call me. I also told them to send a car, so I could come back.
I waved as they left, and told the receptionist that I would be here for a while longer. She said okay and went back to her calls, but I noticed that she was Pac Man. That showed me how much of a secretary she was. I walked and continued off, and felt my phone vibrate. I picked it up and heard my Athrun
"Hey Beautiful, where are you?" He said in a sweet voice
"I'm still here. I sent everyone back to relax. I mean Lacus just came back yesterday and she needed. Everyone else looked like wrecks, and I had way too much energy to stop my mission." I said
I heard his chuckled.
"Want me to come?" He asked
"No, there might be a chance you might see my dre…" I stopped and noticed something beautiful on slipping out of a cover.
"Cagalli!" Athrun said
"Wait one sec Athrun dear," I said putting the phone between my ear and neck, and undoing the cover. What I saw was a masterpiece.
"Oh my god!" I said astounded
"What happened," He asked
"You are going to get a nosebleed when you see me in this dress Athrun," I said touching the fabric, "Wow,"
"Really, eh does this mean I should pick you up," He said
"Yah sure, but make sure you don't pick while I'm trying it on," I said
"Sure quick up, I'm outside waiting." He said
"What?" I said "Wait, what you mean outside."
"Yes, Lacus told me that you needed a ride," He said
"But that was for after I chose the dress, what if I didn't find it," I said
"I would wait until you did finish choosing, then I know for a fact, you'd phone me, and I would pick you up," He said
"Aw, you're so sweet. Just wait I have to try this dress out and get it, pay for it and do the fitting. How about you go and ride in your silver Saleen for half an hour, I'll be done by then Athrun." I said
"Or how about I come in and watch you," He said
"Watch me change or look at my dress," I said
"Well, I'd like to see both, but I know you won't let me." He said
I made a face and said "You deprave," and shut the phone.
I smiled at his joke, and went to try on my masterpiece. I wore it carefully and touched its delicate features. It was a white, one piece, strapless, A-line gown with corset back. The gown features an asymmetrically draped petal shaped satin panel revealing embroidered tulle lace beneath. The crystallized lace also fans from the waist to the train hem at the back of the gown. I have heard that if you wear white, you were a virgin. I knew for a fact I was so I didn't mind.
The dress was made for me; it hugged my curves creating balance and showed each cleavage. I decided to get it. I took it of and wore my clothing; I decided to get my shoes. I called a lady who said, she would deliver the dress dry cleaned, pressed to the hall on my wedding day. I thanked her and called Athrun. He seemed to sense that I was finished and his car was outside waiting. I grinned and entered to receive a reuniting kiss, from his of our long separation from each other. I told him I needed shoes and he drove me to a store I hadn't been in before. A lady in her forties came out and came out.
"Oh Mister Athrun, it is so good to see you again," She said greeting Athrun and giving him a hug.
"Same wiht me Ella, I want you to meet my fiancée Cagalli," Athrun said showing her to me.
"Oh she looks just like what I imagined her to be. Oh what a beautiful girl, your mother would've been so thrilled to meet her." She said making me blush. She pulled my and gave me a gentle hug. She broke and held my hand.
I looked at her and she said "Oh my I think I have embarrassed the young girl." Athrun laughed and pulled me into his arm
"Yes and she looks so cute when she blushes," He said. I gave him a glare and nudged him. I pushed him and sat down on a chair, annoyed and folded my arm across my chest.
Both of them laughed. I frowned, the blush still evident on my cheek, I looked down to cover my face. I heard someone walking and lift my chin. I met his emerald eyes.
He turned and said to Ella "You know what Ella; even after everything I just can't stop my love towards her, because Cagalli is just perfect."
I looked at Ella who said "Yes, you are a pair."
I looked at Athrun who was looking at me.
"You know what you are," I whispered.
"What?" he asked
"A stupid jerk," I said making Ella laugh.
I hugged Athrun and whispered in his ear "But your mine," and bit it.
"Now Athrun, why don't you tell me what your precious Cagalli drinks." Ella asked
"She love hot chocolate," he said
"Okay I'll be right back," She said leaving.
I leaned back on the chair and asked Athrun "Who is Ella, Athrun?"
"She was one of my mother's close friends, she always visited me and I have a close bond with her." He said
"She seems nice," I said.
Ella came back with a cup of black coffee for Athrun and hot chocolate for me.
I took a sip of my hot chocolate and asked Athrun a question "Athrun, how can you drink that stuff,"
He looked at me and said "Because I can,"
I said looked at my drink and lost my appetite thinking about black coffee.
"So Athrun, you came here for your fiancée's wedding shoes, didn't you," Ella asked
"Yes, do you have any that match a white dress," Athrun questioned.
"I have a few," She said getting up to get a few pair of shoes.
I got up and sat of Athrun's lap. "How do you know what colour dress I have," I asked
"Because I know for a fact you mumbled the colour white at one point during our conversation," He said remembering.
I probably did and got up to only be pulled down back onto Athrun's lap.
"Where are you going?" He asked
"To me seat," I said
"No, you aren't," He said wrapping his arms around my waist and leaning his head in the crook of my neck. I relaxed and we had a peaceful moment. Ella came in and brought in three pairs of shoes.
"You two are so adorable," she said place the shoe, slipper, and sandal.
I looked down, at the choices. All of them were beautiful and I asked Athrun, which one he liked between the sandal and the slipper. He chose the slipper. I liked it to, and we decided to get it. I looked at the slipper. It was stylish elegance Open Toe Sling back with 2 1/2" Heel. There were delicate silver straps, glittering rhinestone with vie-shaped detail, and the supportive clear vinyl on the vamp, Also, a soft, cushioned mid-sole. Strong leather outsole makes it a metallic silver stunner as well as comfortable as it was striking.
We went to pay for it, but Ella disagreed and said to take it as a wedding present. I gave her a hug and asked if she was going to be at the wedding she said of course and we left. We put my shoes in the trunk and Athrun gave a shocker, by presenting proudly a set to wear at our wedding. I knew I cried at how beautiful it looked, it was an 18kt white gold, 30.71ctw round and pear shape diamond necklace. It had several dangles from 1"-1 3/4" long. It came with a pair of 14kt white gold, 1.50ctw round diamond 3-stone earrings, 9/16 inch drop. And if that wasn't enough he gave me a 14kt white gold 8.00ctw diamond cluster bracelet, 1/4 inch wide. (The total is close to $23,999.97 of all three things, who knew diamond was so expensive)
I closed the box and gave him a huge kiss. He returned obediently. I loved everything about today, even though I thought it was going to be bad. I sat at and leaned as he drove us back home.
"Athrun," I called
"Yes," he said looking at me for a brief moment before going back onto the road.
"I love you," I said sincerely
He smiled and replied "I love you too Cagalli,"
We arrived home and I met all the girls.
"So," Luna said starting a conversation
"Did you find a dress?" Meyrin finished
"Yes," I said simply walking upstairs.
They all squealed and said "Where is it,"
I said "In the shop, and is going to be delivered on the day of the wedding, so don't get your hopes to high,"
They all frowned
I gave them a bag and said "I bought the shoes with Athrun,"
They looked and very amazed at how beautifully crafted they were. We they were finished I took them and put them in a safe spot. I them changed into long sleeved crochet knit tunic, with crop trouser and drawstring attached to front waist, and embroidery and bead to detail hem. I waked barefooted to them and showed them the set Athrun gave for my wedding
They all screamed "OH MY GOD" and I just said "At least I don't have to go jewelry shopping.
I put it away, and I started I told them about today. They were all excited and happy for me, I felt so lucky. I told them I was hurry so I headed down to eat. I went to the office and prepared for the meeting tomorrow, this time with Athrun. I looked over to see the file opened; I knew Athrun was reading it. I flipped and reviewed it, before and headed to the kitchen.
I heard a glass shatter and I went a followed the noise, what I did know was the fact that I had stepped on a few and turned to see the mess. The maid dropped a plate and was cleaning it up. I asked her if she needed help and she said no. I insisted to which she diverged. I walked and grabbed a sandwich, my feet leaving a trail of blood. I heard a shout, I turned and slipped on my own blood sliding at the person and making him fall.
"Oww," I moaned
"Cagalli, are you crazy, there's blood dripping from your feet," Athrun said in worry.
I looked and said "Oh, I didn't really feel anything,"
Athrun picked me up and placed my on a coach, and I noticed blood dripping from it. I looked horrified. I saw Athrun bring back tweezers and a first aid box. They didn't hurt coming in, but I screamed when he took them out.
"Oh great, as if my back wasn't enough" I said
"You should really be more careful Cagalli, I hate to see you in pain" He said
I sighed and bared the 15 pieces of pulling of material out of my foot, and Athrun gently rubbed some disinfectant and painkiller of on the wounds. Wrapping my foot, he asked me to stand slowly. I did and for some reason I winced and eventually did stand. He looked at me and frowned, lifting me into the air; he brought me to our room and asked me if I wanted to change. I gave him a glare, and told him to guess. He smiled and brought out a chemise. I told him to turn, he did and I changed. Finishing I tossed my clothes onto his head. He caught them instead and I frowned. He came and kissed my on the top of my head, telling me to go to sleep. I laid and he left. The time was close to 8 in the evening. I tossed and had trouble shutting my eyes and falling asleep, until at 8:45, I decided to find Athrun. My foot was hurting as much, and I stumbled as I walked looking for everyone. I went to the porch of my room and saw them all playing a game. They all sat down and I sat down, because my feet started to hurt. I looked at them through the gaps. They looked like children, but it didn't matter because we all knew how to relax from the world and enjoy our life without the memories of war.
I smiled and wanted to play, but I could barely stand up. I lay on the floor and stared at the night sky. I heard them all fall onto the floor and I heard
"Where is Cagalli?" Luna asked, "She's missing all the fun."
"She stepped on glass and scrapped the soles of her feet," Athrun said
"That's a shame. Cagalli would have enjoyed this time." Lacus said
"Hey Athrun, that was one sweet necklace you gave Cagalli," Mir said
"Thanks, it thought it would look perfect on her," Athrun said sheepishly
"So guys, who wants to go swimming?" Shinn asked
"Look at the time Shinn," Meyrin said
"So, I don't care if your not, I am with my girl. Right Stellar," Shinn asked
"Sure Shinn," Stellar said getting up and joined him.
Everyone followed them inside. I heard it and sat up. If I know Athrun he would check on me. And I was right. I heard the door open and I saw Athrun walk and step onto porch.
"Hey, what are you doing here," He asked
"Just wasn't feeling very sleepy," I said laying back down staring up at the moon. Athrun looked at me. He saw how the moon shined it radiant glows on me making my flame with its ray of magic. I saw him stare at me.
"What are you looking at me like that for," I said
I kneeled and held me in my arms.
"I'm so lucky to have you Cagalli," He said
I smiled and he broke away and said "Want to swim?"
"Sure, am I able to," I asked
"Yes, you're not standing in any way." He said. He lifted me up and gave me a one-piece swimsuit that had full coverage of a one piece with a sexy figure flattering look, keyhole front, tie at neck, mid-scoop back, mid-cut leg and fully lined. He got him-self a pair of green trunks matching the color of my swimsuit. He left to change, while I did the same to my self. I finished and he came out, with towel. Lifting me again he twirled us and carefully walked with me in his arms, downstairs to the pool, where everyone was changed and waiting. Athrun carefully placed me on the edge of the pool, and everyone surrounded me. They looked asked me how I was feeling, and I told them I was fine. They entered the pool, and Athrun came up to me and gave me company. We had an enjoyable time.
