Chapter 24: Paparazzi and Wedding Planning
My alarm rings and I press the snooze button and sigh. Today was my first day back at college; I was enjoying my vacation/recovery. Luckily I only had 3 weeks of the semester before school ended. I did my online quizzes for my intro to healthcare class but still had a lot of quizzes from medical terminology. My mind starts to think of how hectic these past few weeks will be with finals and planning a wedding. The snooze alarm rings, interrupting my thoughts; I turn it off and get out of bed. I walk into the bathroom and start brushing my teeth, Richard walks out of the shower, all steamy and glistening looking better than Ryan Gosling and a grin spreads on my face.
"What?" Richard asks.
"Nothing, just enjoying the view", I say and finish brushing my teeth, I walk over to the shower and turn the water on.
Richard smiles and shakes his head and turns around and I whistle as I get a view of his naked ass. Richard raises and eyebrow and wraps a towel around his waist, he stands in front of me and leans down and kisses me. He wraps his arms around my waist and hoists me up so that I wrap my legs around his waist.
"I think we need another shower", he whispers against my lips and I kiss him in agreement.
After a shower and breakfast with Richard, he leaves to go to work while I go to the university. It felt so odd being back. I stop outside my psychology class, I remember how I used to have this class with Xavier, memories of us in class and him kidnapping me begin to flood my mind.
A hand touches my shoulder and I gasp and look over and see Donna, "You ok?" she asks.
I nod my head, "I'm fine", I say and give her a small smile.
"Ok", Donna says and we walk into the classroom together. We sit in our regular seats and Donna, sensing my nervousness begins to talk about my engagement party and upcoming wedding.
"Have you guys set a date yet?" Donna asks.
"Yep, May 30 that way we can have a long honeymoon and before I start the radiology program", I say.
"Wow, that's like a month from now, you think you can plan a whole wedding in time?" She asks.
"Yep, with a little help from Richard and friends of course", I say and Donna laughs.
After class Donna and I decide to start decide to get lunch at a local buffet as we exit the buffet I see there are a paparazzi waiting outside as Donna and I leave the restaurants. As we walk out the paparazzi spot me and immediately rush over and bombard me with questions.
"There she is Kori! Kori is it true you're engaged to Gotham's prince Richard Grayson?" one asks.
"Have you two set a date yet?" another one asks.
"Will there be a pre-nup?" another one asks.
"Are you pregnant?" another one asks.
"What!" I yell in shock 'I am not pregnant'! Donna reaches for my hand and we race to the car, the paparazzi are hot on trail. I push the unlock button and open the car, Donna and I get in and speed off as fast as we can. I head straight for the university. I pull into a parking space near our dorm and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wow…that was interesting", Donna says breaking the silence.
I sigh, "Welcome to my new life", I say and shake my head.
"Oh c'mon Kori, I'm sure it's not going to be like that all the time, this will die down after the wedding", Donna says.
"Yea, I hope so", I say, and glance at my dashboard clock, "We should get to class", I say and turn off my car.
Donna and I get out the car and walk toward the health science building. We take our seats and a little while after the professor goes in and starts teaching. I half pay attention to him, as I take out my notebook and start writing a short list about what I need for the upcoming wedding.
'Budget, Cake, location, caterers, dresses, guest list, florist. Wow this is a lot' I think to myself. I didn't realize how much it took to plan a wedding. I sigh and daydream of a beautiful wedding with flowers and me walking down the aisle and Richard waiting for me at the end of the aisle with a huge smile on his face. My stomach is filled with butterflies as I approach him-
"Hello, earth to Kori", Donna says and nudges me.
"What", I say and shake my head as I am snapped out of my daydream and start to focus on the lesson.
After class I go to my dorm for a bit and study with Donna. I then leave and go back to the apartment. I walk in and sit my book bag down in the living room and go to the kitchen to fix a snack before I take the my remaining quizzes for medical terminology. I finish my snack and go upstairs and start doing my school work. After I finish my quizzes I decide to Google stuff for the wedding out of curiosity I type my name into the search my name out of curiosity. Hundreds of results pop up about our engagement and upcoming wedding. I look at some of the comments for some of the articles are positives while others are calling me a gold digger and a whore, 'is this what people think of me?' I think to myself. I shake my head and go downstairs to the kitchen. I glance at the clock and decide to cook dinner for me and Richard. I decide to make chicken pot pie and get out the ingredients to make it.
Around 9pm I hear the door open and Richard walks in, "Mm, something smells good", Richard says as he walks toward the kitchen.
"I made chicken pot pie, I hope you're hungry", I say.
"You have no idea, I had to skip lunch for some boring business meeting", Richard says.
"Aww poor thing", I say and cut a piece of pie for him.
I grab my plate and two sodas from the fridge and join him in the living room.
"This is so good", Richard says and continues eating his pie.
I giggle and wipe some crumbs off the side of his mouth, "Thanks", I say and start eating.
"How was your day?" Richard asks.
"Ok, class was the usual but when I went to lunch with Donna they paparazzi were outside the restaurant", I say.
Richard sighs, "That doesn't surprise me, they must have found out about our engagement", he says.
I nod, "Yep", I say and look down at my plate.
Richard reaches for my hand, "You ok Kori? You're not having second thoughts are you?" he asks.
"No! Of course not! You know how much I love you Richard", I say. Richard knows that I feel uncomfortable about the paparazzi but that wasn't going to stop me from marrying him.
"In fact", I say, "I started planning our wedding", I say and go to my book bag and get my notebook.
"You planned our wedding in a hello kitty notebook?" Richard says amused and smiles.
"Yes!" I say and stick out my tongue at him, "I like my notebook", I say and Richard chuckles.
I sit back on the couch next to him and show him my list, "That's a lot", he says.
I nod, "Yep", I say in agreement.
"Maybe we should hire a wedding planner to help out", Richard suggest.
"Hmm, I guess that will be ok", I say.
Richard smiles and kisses me, "I'll make some calls, a month from now you'll be Mrs. Richard Grayson", he says.
I smile, "I like the sound of that", I say.
