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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5scypZZY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLcFdtWiaQ
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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqwIuI5Kp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLebFopRx
“When we do the certificate we could write it like that. Hart-King or King-Hart?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgnrelsiSX
“Mmm i don’t know that's a bit of a difficult question right now.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iKUs03vN5
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFbRP3FzYV
We went back into a comfortable silence until she spoke again, “You know you could’ve gone out and partied like Cherry wanted to.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANOPLQNmRr
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XFlYrf85k
“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?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVskaojzYv

“No honey but it feels like your staying because my friends weren’t able to make it here tonight.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3A0lzy5rI

“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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTTKWmDas
“But- why?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VLwlc8jrd
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg0vn81aKh
“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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNhsazBf5
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dvPtFwnos
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWa9gml5d
“You forgot?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf6n8rkR7p
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrahPhC5VF
“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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThLoBH5fYm
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLByA6KzwWc
“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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcVnA3UNTI
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2YqbYv4Eb
“What is the Ketubah?,” I groaned when it came out, sounding nothing like how she said it. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyVg5djwz5
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9PN0aaY6G
“Ketubah?,” She mocked purposely and expertly copying exactly how I muttered it.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJttCIY7wq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKZsxaWybr
“You know what I mean.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou4IFuu56e
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRTgxFBAH0
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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gtYsPwjBp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs4ZIJgUAe
I leaned up grinning then kissed up her neck to her cheek, “In what kind of intimate way?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqsCeLr1iS
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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13WKusn4b5

“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.”

“No Faye, I'm not overwhelmed,” I covered my yawn and looked past her to find it dark out, “Take me to bed?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxrDDNWbAX
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdY2K8nnWD
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGLvOK49wq
She slapped my side after I got up and leant down to kiss her, “I didn’t even mean it like that.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP0Pq4wtOD
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS9sh8c08F
“Sure you didn’t and wear actual pajamas in bed tonight.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6SKOBkPXn
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADYeYDlwhG
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.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMaEDTj86A
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB2rRY5wSY
“Goodnight King.”
