Chapter 27: Cake and Flowers
After a romantic night with Richard we went to bed not to long after. I am sleeping peacefully until, I feel Richard nuzzling my neck with his chin, the stubble on his chin tickles me as he is trying to wake me up.
"I'm up", I say and laugh, and Richard loosens his arm so I can face him.
"Good morning gorgeous", he says and smiles, "Do you have any plans for today?" he asks.
"I am meeting with Kole to order floral arrangements for the wedding", I say.
"Ok, well after do you want to pick out a wedding cake after?" he asks.
I smile, "Sure, I love those free cake samples", I say and Richard laughs.
I get up, brush my teeth, shower and get dressed; Richard and I eat breakfast together before he leaves for the office. I wash the dishes then grab my keys and leave the apartment. I go to my car and drive to the floral shop to meet Kole. I park and see Kole waiting out front; she waves as soon as she sees me, we greet each other and enter the floral shop. The smell of fresh flowers fills my nose and flowers are arranged all around the store, as soon as we walk in.
"Wow", I say.
Kole smiles, "I knew you love this place", she says.
We walk around the floral shop looking at the different types of flowers; I decide that I want white roses for my bouquet and purple roses the exact shade of the bridesmaid's dresses for my friends. I then pick out a bouquet of pink, white, light purple and dark pink roses for the centerpieces for the wedding reception. We also go to a local craft store and pick out some ribbon and vases for the centerpieces. After I say goodbye to Kole and head back to the apartment to wait for Richard to come home. I fix some lunch and turn on the TV; the local news catches my eye a picture of me as I see the headline.
"And up next information about the upcoming trial involving Moth industries heiress Kitten Moth and University of Gotham student Xavier Red"…
I clinch the remote tighter, and freeze as the mug shots of Xavier and Kitten pop up on the screen, "The two suspects kidnapped at tortured Kori Anders, a student of University of Gotham student,who also happens to be an ex-girlfriend of Xavier red, the trial will begin in two weeks..."
The door opens and I hear Richard walk in, "Honey I'm home", he yells. Richard voice breaks me out of my trance; I rush over to him and throw my arms around him.
"Kori, what's wrong?" he asks and rubs my back trying to soothe me. I loosen my arms from around his neck and motion my head toward the TV screen.
"Oh... I see", he says, He then lifts me up bridal style and walks over to the couch and sits me down in his lap. He then reaches for the remote and turns off the TV.
"You ok?" he asks.
"Better now, that you're here", I say, "Just that news story brought up some bad memories, you don't think I will have to testify do you?" I ask.
"Maybe, it depends on if they decide call you as a witness or not", he says.
I snuggle closer to Richard chest and sob a bit, "I'm so sorry Kori", he says.
"It's not your fault, please don't feel guilty", I say.
"I can't help it sometimes, I should have been there to protect you", he says and sighs in frustration.
"You're always there to protect me whether you realize it or not", I say.
Richard looks at me confuses, as thought to not understand what I am saying.
"Your love, it protects me and makes me strong", I say.
Richard smiles, "You have no idea how much I love you", he says and kisses my hand.
"I have a good idea", I say and kiss him.
After talking a bit more, Richard and I decide to go to the bakery to pick out a wedding cake, it was a good distraction from the news story I saw today.
We reach the bakery and sit down with the owner and he gives us a huge plate of samples from different cakes.
"This is definitely the best part wedding planning", I say and rub my hands together preparing to eat cake and Richard laughs.
"Here try this", Richard says and feeds me a piece of cake.
"Richard!" I say as the piece of cake completely misses my mouth and smears on my nose and cheek.
Richard burst out laughing, "That's a good look for you", he says and I scowl.
"Here you should try this one", I say and pick up a piece of cake.
Richard eyes me suspiciously, "No tricks?" he questions.
"No tricks", I say and bat my eyelashes and make my best innocent face.
Richard opens his mouth and I move my hand toward it, then at the last second I smear the cake on his forehead.
"Hey!" Richard says and scowls.
I laugh and wipe the corner of my eyes wear a tear was, "I think it looks so much better on you", I say and kiss his cheek.
After finally picking out a wedding cake, Richard and I go out to dinner at a local Italian Restaurant.
"So any thoughts on where we should go for our honeymoon?" I ask.
"Hmm some place with a king side bed and lots of candles", Richard says and winks.
I roll my eyes, "I'm serious", I say and laugh.
Richard smiles, "Where do you want to go?"He asks.
"I don't know, surprise me", I say.
Richard grins, "I'll gladly take that challenge", he says.
We finish eating dinner and Richard and I go home and get a peaceful night sleep, Tomorrow I start preparing for my finals, I couldn't wait to finish the semester and for my upcoming wedding with Richard. After watching movie with Richard I get ready to go to bed and snuggle closer to Richard and drift off to sleep.
I hear my phone ring and the sound of my ringtone jolts me awake, I turn on the bedside lamp and reach the phone. It says unknown number, I frown and hit the slide the unlock bar to answer the phone
"Hello?" I say and I freeze in shock as this was the last person I was expecting a phone call from.
