Alex and I went downstairs and Alex took me straight to the man who I just saw today. Who is this man anyway?
"Baby, this is Mr Williams. He's from the marriage bureau."Alex introduced him to me and I smiled at him. He really hates this introduction and I'm surprised today he's doing it so cheerful, starting with his dad then this man." This is the woman I want to marry, her name is Kimberly Johnson."he added.
"Nice to meet you Kimberly and you two."he pointed at his dad and him." at least there's a witness to this. He must be your dad?"he asked and I felt like facepalming myself for Alex's forgetfulness and failure to introduce his dad. I threw him a glance but he seemed not to be worried about anything.
"He's my dad, of course you can tell."Alex replied and then looked at his dad smiling.
"That's good then can we start? It's not a big process anyway it's just signing the legal papers to show that you two are legally married."he said and we nodded smiling. I was happy because I am marrying the man I love. It's not the way I and my family would recommend but I don't care, everything can come later.
The Mr Williams guy took out the papers and a pen and Alex and I each took our time to sign them. After we were done, the guy set to leave with them saying they need to be finalized by the court and that they will be sent to us in a day or two. That was not a problem, I was married anyway. I invited him for dinner which apparently was getting cold but he declined my good deed and left.
Immideately he left, Alex couldn't hold his excitement any longer as he lifted me up and started kissing me allover my face without care that his dad was still watching. I didn't refuse though, he needs to feel the satisfaction. He brought me down and hugged me tightly in his arms and rested his chin on my head.
"I love you so much baby. This is the best day ever. I can't believe I'm already married. This is till we get old baby, you get that? I need to love you till we get old and even after death and after life you will still be mine. Forever."he said and my heart skipped. This man drives me nuts huh!! His words are affecting me. They always do. He got out of the embrace and turned around to his dad. I smiled at them and left to the dining room to give them some privacy.
"Dad, I'm married. Can you believe it?"Alex asked his dad who looked at him proudly.
"I'm very proud of you son. This is a blessing to you. You have married a great woman and that is the best thing I can ask for. I have a daughter in law too. I don't know if I should tell your mom?"he asked and Alex's smile fell from his face." Okay, I didn't mean it the wrong way. I just think she would be happy for you."his dad said and Alex smiled bitterly.
"I don't think she will. She never calls to ask how I am. She hates me and I understand. Don't tell her please. I would visit her and see how it goes."Alex told his dad.
"Okay son. Congratulations by the way. I'm really proud. Your mom will come around once she sees her. She's a great woman and your mom would love her."his dad encouraged.
"Thanks dad for your encouragement. I just hope she will come around. I don't want my wife to be scared of my mom."Alex said and his dad hugged him.
"Does she know?"he asked still. In the hugg.
"Yeah, I told her. It was the first time talking about it and I felt really fantastic. I guess she has that power over me. I don't know. Please let's stop this hug."Alex said and his dad chuckled but he got out of the hug anyway.
"That's fine. Everything will be fine."his dad said and Alex smiled. He's happy that his dad is so supportive of his actions and everything. It's really a blessing.
"Let's go before Kimberly comes to drag us to the kitchen."I heard Alex say. I have just arrived to call them to come eat dinner and I heard Alex say that.
"You said it right. Now come and let's eat dinner, thank God it is still hot but if you stay a little longer it will be cold."I told them and I turned around to leave in hope they are behind me following me. I have come to notice Alex and his dad are really close and I'm so happy seeing the bond they share. It's great having a dad like him and I can't help but be envious but in a good way.
After dinner, we retired to our rooms. I'm happy Alex's dad congratulated me on my marriage. We got to our room and we went to freshen up before sleeping.
"You and your dad are very close."I said when Alex came to sleep next to me and I scooted closer and I lay my head on his chest.
"Yeah."he briefly replied.
"I'm really envious you know."I revealed to him and I heard him chuckle.
"You can start to call him dad too. He would love that so much."I heard Alex say and I smiled.
"I'll try. I have never called anyone dad you know. It would be my first time."I said.
"I know baby, I know."he said " where do you want to go for honeymoon?"he asked and I looked up.
"What? We are not going for honeymoon. Why don't you first take me on a date."I told him.
"Why is the date so important to you baby. You are always so concerned about it. What's so special about a date?"he asked and I pinched his cheeks gently.
"It's important because I need to feel how people feel when they are on a date. I have never been to one and according to how people talk about it, I really want to go."I said smiling at him.
"Okay then, but after the date, we are going on our honeymoon. It doesn't have to be many days. Maybe.. whatever. You will decide yourself."he said and I chuckled then I remembered something.
"I need to talk to you about something." I said and he brushed his lips on my forehead.
"What is it?"he asked smiling and this is all the encouragement I need to tell him what I want.
"I don't want a driver."I said and I saw his face darkened but it went back to normal immideately.
"Why don't you want a driver? It's not like it's a bad thing?"he said and I frowned.
"It's just that I'm not used to it. I mean, I don't need someone driving me around like I'm some famous person or as if I am special. I have my two hands and a driving license, why would I need a driver?"I asked him.
"You do know you are famous right?",he asked and I creased my brows.
"No I'm not. You are."I said and he chuckled.
"What does that tell you? You are my wife so.... And you are in the news too."he said chuckling and I glared at him.
"This is not funny Alex. I haven't even seen the news."I said.
"And you won't because there's no news at all. You need a few people to follow you. You know like bodyguards."he said and I became stiff. Nooo.this can't be happening. My life is changing at a high speed and it's scaring me. First the driver, then the bodyguards?
