I hummed after she’d softly scratched from my back up to my neck. We both laid on the couch with my covering up to her midsection. She pulled all my hair to one side then started growing through my scalp, “I’m going to be Mrs. King tomorrow.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SUJGo0XT5
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknBnF6ICO
She leaned down and kissed my forehead and I smiled incoherently. Then I forced my heavy head to peer at her with a random thought, “...I want our kid to have both of our last names.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI4YS69Dx9
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDPbq823tG
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDeqB5d3T
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2jOMjs4cl
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBQmnWQOAP
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusFL7LofDI
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hRgmEJIK
“You know I’m not much of a party goer so it wouldn’t have been fun. Are you trying to get rid of me so soon?”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0TTIhEErG

“That I do know,” I moved up and sat on her abdomen. I messed with the hem of the blue shirt she’d had on and was about to go down lower, “We are not having sex. I want to wait until our wedding night.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3pbVMI24Q
“But- why?”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCVFJXMGOx
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaQkS7Yaif
“Because It might be to just wait all of one day and cherish you as solely mine. Or that my dad threatened that I'd be wallowing in my grave if I didn't hold up to my jewish traditions.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbdklslXFt
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2mxyCUcUS
She draped her hands around my waist and I did my best not to think of them as advances, “List off what we were doing for the ceremony again.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGzKvsnrt
“You forgot?”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVjt1Fnp41
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk9nKQJE4b
“No, I just like hearing your accent come out. I can’t believe I hadn't noticed it before.”

“We’ve kinda had it easy other than like in the beginning of finding where to do it.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPEzS4WuDh
I placed my arms around her neck and leaned my head into the crook of her neck, “Early tomorrow morning we’re going to visit a rabbi for Aufruf. It's where we’d be called to the Torah for a blessing and it's customary if anyone wakes up and wants to come with us that they throw candles at us.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGwdRFx35
“Then what.”

“After that and a little later, my dad, your mom, and your aunt since she had raised you will sign the ketubah. Usually it’s only two witnesses though. I'm unsure whether it's going to be either before or after your walked down the aisle.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnAEklrCU
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWLK0VKcrl
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UYR2tTMf9
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFrZCAvX6Q
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZ7LiiVnL
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOum8EMrL2
“You know what I mean.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5fTypFT0
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WsiUI5HNk
She laughed and I pinched her neck avoiding looking up, “It's just an outline of my responsibilities to you and the conditions I'll provide in the marriage. And during the signing I will come to you and veil you. That is called the Bedeken, showing i love you for your inner beauty. There's the Chuppah and Circling but I skipped it then the ring exchange as you already know. Sheva B'rachot which are the seven blessings but I wanted to do it in a more intimate way since I have to brush up on my Hebrew to speak them to you.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWIv6OXfU
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGLaL4Q0YK
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dhmeGQiuu
She was distracted and increased her hold on me for a moment yet sadly a short one, “...We're gonna drink wine first and I'm going to make some statements then end with a blessing to our future. I kinda wanted to do it before or after I took you on our wedding night. Then again someone hasn’t left me alone to study it so it might be on one of the nights of our honeymoon.”

“I bet you can’t. After the ceremony and we break out to eat there's the breaking of the glass and mazel Tov. I skipped the Yichud and Hora and Mezinke because we were just going to dance once and then hightail it out of there.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl62s0ayfV0

“I think I'd be too distracted by you to care unless it was with your heel. …You aren’t overwhelmed with these customs right? I can take out a few in the beginning if you want.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr80YEOhOi

“No no I want to. I'm gonna be so happy, not so much for waking up so early tomorrow but I'm gonna be happy nevertheless.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYgoIvZ3n
“That’s not an actual yes or no.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h2dTtMjcG

“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PUk780bEj
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZUOA6pQLv
Her mouth was agape and I noticed only then how that sounded, “Nuh uh get your butt off. I’m gonna search for my Hebrew butt and stay up a while longer.”
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAwlEVnrat
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqbkUVFloV

274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRFuMsY4fz
I couldn’t hold in my own laugh remembering all the times she’d made me put on pajamas so that she could work only to be awoken with her head in between my legs, “Like that's stopped you before love. Goodnight Hart.”274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezDofTE3nf
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ufqql9vR
“Goodnight King.”
