The ALMOST Wedding day

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

At last, he kissed her and she smiled right into it, a warm sensation overcoming her body. As they kissed all she could think about was how fortunate she was to have met him on her 'almost wedding day' and turn it from a bad day to a good one. After this thought left her, she began thinking about what would happen after the kiss, how would he feel? She also thought about how he was feeling about the kiss, were there fireworks? All of this overwhelmed her and when he broke the kiss, she found herself being hypnotized by his eyes, a feeling she had never felt before. Even Justin never brought on such intense feeling before, she didn't even know she could feel this way, "And was it meant to be?", she flirted back before he resumed their tender kiss. Now she felt like she was on cloud 9, and she never wanted this moment to end. At this moment, she had nothing to worry about, at this moment she was not a mother or an almost bride, she was just Gaby.

As they kissed the second time, she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate and although she tried to ignore it, she couldn't help but wonder if something of importance had happened. Naturally, her maternal instincts jumped on her and she began imagining bad situations concerning her children and the babysitter/best friend, Lillian. She pulled back a little on the kiss and with apologetic eyes, quickly opened her phone. On the caller ID it said that she had missed a call from Lillian, "Do you mind?", she asked before she'd call Lillian back, "She's my friend and babysitter and I just want to make sure everything is OK." she explained, hoping she didn't ruin the moment. Gaby did, afterward, feel guilty, since the two of them were in such a special moment, she hoped they could resume their feelings after she made sure everything was alright.

Ayane smiled faintly and nodded, trying to discern the feelings overwhelming him. "It's fine, go ahead," He withdrew his hand from her hair to pet Polo. The entire moment had caught him completely off guard, despite all the precautions he'd taken the day before. It wasn't bad at all though, he was pretty sure whatever this was, could easily be called love. It felt too right to be otherwise, Ayane bit back a yawn. It was still early in his book, and the coffee was wearing off. He didn't really need it right now, obviously, the shock was enough. He'd left his kitten asleep at the apartment, positive that she was left food and water. He'd been tired when he'd gotten up, so memory didn't quite serve well right then. It also turned out Gaby was a huge factor in making him forgetful, seeing how he felt already. "I believe it was," Ayane managed in his quietest voice, not really focusing on one certain thought. There was so much going on in his mind it was near impossible to focus.

Gaby shrugged her shoulders when nobody answered the other line, so she quickly left a message, "Lillian it's me. I saw you called so if it's important call me back, if not then I'll talk to you later. Send the kids my love." She then turned back to Ayane, "Sorry about that, false alarm I guess." she responded as she twirled her hair. She moved closer to him, nearly forgetting that Polo was still on her, "Well behaved snake.", she commented as she placed her hands on his back, "Now where were we?" she played as she brushed her lips against his cheek. When he remarked that he thought it was meant to be, she smiled and her body tingled all over, "Good answer." , she replied with a wink of her eye. Now her head was filled with too many thoughts to comprehend, what of worry and of happiness. She couldn't believe she was so lucky to find him on this day of all days. I know she says 'on this day of all days' a lot, but that's only because, as we know, it was supposed to be her wedding day. After kissing him, she felt like she could walk up the isle with him right now and be forever bonded to him, "So you never answered my question, do you believe in love at first sight?" she boldy asked once more, still staring into his gorgeous, ever going, eyes.

"It's known to happen, is it not?" Ayane answered with a playful smile, of course he believed, but being more subtle was more fun. "I've had Polo for two years, whereas I just got my kitten a month ago." Brushing his fingers through her hair, he wondered what she'd think of the make-up. Despite his somewhat growing out of his ambiguous looks, he was still pretty for a man. "As for if I believe, aren't my feelings proof enough?" It was more of a rhetorical question, since it needed no answer. Ayane was merely expressing how he felt in words, as difficult as it was. The fact that she had kids didn't bother him, and it wasn't supposed to. At her apology for the interruption, he'd merely smiled and kissed on the cheek, dismissing it with a warm smile. This would be a changing experience, or so he'd hope. If nothing changed, Ayane would be more than disappointed. This was a far-cry from Maine, where he'd left Mizuki.

Gaby smiled back, embracing his masculine scent, cologne perhaps?, "A kitten? How sweet, I have a dog myself." she replied, closing her eyes briefly when he warmed her cheek with his lips, "What's his or her name?" she wondered, not meaning to make small talk. Sometimes, in moments like this, no words were needed. She blushed at his reply, he WAS a believer in love at first sight, and now she was too. Justin hadn't been love at first sight, she just warmed up to him, she hoped Ayane would like her kids, and she also wondered if he was OK with her motherhood, she was only in her early twenties after all, and a mother of three. Had she mentioned the quantity of her kids? Maybe he just thought she had one, but then again, didn't she say kidS, plural? She decided not to bring it up quite yet, he'd find out sooner or later, and if he really did love her at first sight, numbers shouldn't matter. Gaby felt so right in his arms, she really couldn't believe it, was this all a dream? She hoped it wasn't because if it was, she'd wake up crushed. She began brainstorming ideas for the two of them to hang out after this, because she definitely wanted to see him again, and she was pretty positive he felt the same way. Her old fashioned, chivalry view, made her want to wait for him to 'ask her out', since she never believed a woman should be so forward, although this case proved to have no fear of rejection.

"Reese, she's only a few months old, very kawaii,"Ayane agreed with a smile. It was hardly an afterthought, asking her out, which was what he intended to do. It was just hard to think of the right words to say in times like this, since they weren't really necessary. "We should go out sometime, and it'd be great to meet your kids, so maybe we could include them and give your babysitter a break?" He wasn't sure where to go, or what there was to do. Ayane had distinctly remembered her mentioning her children, who didn't know any better about Justin most likely, and were probably worse off. He was holding her close, not really even just for her, but it felt right. She gave him butterflies, and there was a spark. If this wasn't love at first sight, Ayane didn't what else it could be.

Kawaii? Gaby was beginning to learn that he was possibly multi-lingual, "Japanese?", she asked with a giggle, she loved her men with more than one language. Talking in other languages was a turn on, "Yeah, I'd love you to meet my kids. Maybe you'd want to join us at Chuck E.Cheese sometime?" she asked, saying the first place that came to mind, "The girls love it there, even though Collin's still too young to even know what it is.", she continued on, giving him some insight as to the amount of kids she had. She loved being so close to him, she felt so comfortable that she rested her head on his shoulder, if only music was playing. It would be the perfect moment for a dance.

"Hai, I'm Japanese, I got most of my schooling here in the US though," Ayane answered quietly, although he wasn't completely fluent in English either, his Japanese used to be excellent. "Sounds like a plan," He confirmed, not really sure what else there was to say. "Kawaii means cute, in case you didn't know," He thought to tell her what it meant, but Ayane thought it was pretty clear by the usage.

((Nyah!! I'm sorry..Sleep is clouding the creativity. But here's your post. ))

Gaby smiled when he revealed the meaning of the Japanese term, "You think I'm cute?", she played back, winking her eye. It was more of a rhetorical question since the kiss proved that there was indeed attraction, "Your pretty kawaii yourself.", she responded with a giggle. She felt her pocket vibrate again and as she went to reach into her pocket, her phone hit the ground and speaker phone was enabled: Gaby? It's Lillian, your kids are fine so don't panic or anything but....um, I think someone's been stalking the house...so like, I'm a bit scared and if you can hear me, COME HOME!". Gaby was in shock after this, "Someone's stalking my house?" she asked herself out loud, "Why? Uh oh...what if it's...oh no!" she screamed in anger. She then turned to Ayane, "Riot, I think Justin's at the house..." she remarked, fear and anger in her voice as she held back the tears. She feared that he'd want to take the kids.

(It's alright, the post left me with enough to reply to. Yeah though, I was tired last night too so our last posts have been shorter but remember: It's the quality that counts! ^^)

Ayane wasn't sure how to react, but almost immediately he wondered if there was anything he could do. "He doesn't have the right, as I understand it," was all he could think to say. "Kuso!" He muttered cursing in Japanese. It was one thing for someone to stalk your house, but this situation didn't look good. "Maybe you should head home? I could always meet you there or see you another time," The uncertainty in his voice was merely because he didn't know what she would want him to do. Despite the love at first sight sort of thing, they had only just met.

((Ahh yes, quality over quantity.))

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gaby's sadness soon turned to anger, that migrated itself towards Ayane, "Of course he doesn't have the right, they're not even really his kids! I have full custody over the girls and my son's custody rights are a work in progress!" she shouted as she ran up the isle, towards the doors, "Are you coming or not?!" she asked impatiently, not wanting to go home alone. Her temper then settled down a bit and she looked back at Ayane with apologetic eyes, "I would really like for you to come, I don't want to go there alone.." she confessed, softness in her voice, "And I am really sorry about targeting my anger at you, I did not mean it." she continued, before biting her lip and focusing her eyes on the marble flooring.

Ayane stood there a moment longer, struck silent for a minute or so. Her outburst made him flinch, disdain written across his face until she at last calmed down. He understood very well that she didn't want to go alone, her reactions made it all the more obvious. ""Hai, let's go then," Ayane didn't waste much time, merely flashing her a faint smile in forgiveness. Stopping when he reached her again, he kissed her again briefly, unwinding Polo from her neck. When the snake was back around his own neck, Riot nodded toward the doorway. So her ex was back? Or was it just some creep? Ayane didn't know, but he hoped it was the latter, for the sake of her kids, and her. It was enough to have met her, fall in love, and then have her ex fiance come back for her kids, and he knew it. None of this looked too good to Ayane, but he really didn't know.
