5. "Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state." - Kathleen Norris
“Okay, so I think that’s the last of them.” Claire sighed, relieved, as she straightened to look over at Hiro who was sitting on the bed. “That’s it, that’s everything. I’m completely unpacked.” Her smile brightened as she moved over to him.
“Yatta!” He said it softly and he didn’t throw his arms up in the arm but tugged her into his arms instead.
“Yatta.” She mimicked, giggling softly as she pushed him over, collapsing with him on the bed. She tangled their legs together while starting to press kisses all over his face, amused as he tried to kiss her back as much as he could by chasing her lips with his own.
The kisses had started gathering a little more heat when suddenly the phone was ringing, causing them to pull apart with annoyed sighs before Hiro reached over to grab the phone. Claire flopped back, listening to him greet whoever it was on the other line and she glanced over to see the quizzical look on his face before he offered her the phone. “It’s for you.”
“Me?” She blinked, still not used to getting phone calls at his place but she took the phone as he mouthed his sister’s name. Giving another confused look, she pressed the phone to her ear. “Hello, Kimiko?”
As her soon-to-be sister started to talk on the other end, Claire watched Hiro rise to his feet as he headed out of the bedroom to do something. Tilting her head to the side, she listened for a couple minutes before nodding. “I did get the emails. I was going to email you right away with what I had picked out but I got a little sidetracked.” She slid off of the bed as well, padding out of the room to head to the kitchen since she had a feeling she was going to need water. As she passed Hiro, she caught the eye roll from him and had to quickly swallow a giggle before she focused on her phone call once more.
It was a phone call that lasted for nearly forty minutes before Claire was finally allowed to hang up, all because Kimiko was suddenly tired of talking and she had all her questions answered. Walking over to the entertainment center, she placed the phone on its stand before she turned to look at Hiro. “I thought I didn’t have to plan the wedding in Japan.” She groaned, moving to flop on the couch beside him.
“What did she want?” He glanced over at her, sliding his hand over her knee to give it a gentle squeeze.
“She wanted me to confirm on all three of the dresses I have to wear, on the design of my hair and some other random small things.” She shook her head a little, her mind still reeling. “I’m not even sure, really. I just kind of hummed and made noises throughout the call. She seemed pleased at the end though.”
“I imagine she was. If she wasn’t, we’d hear about it.” Hiro chuckled, leaning against her a little.
“Probably. I’ll keep an eye out for an email tomorrow.” She decided, looking somewhat amused before glancing over at him. “Can you believe it though? We’re getting married in seventeen days.”
“Yes, we are.” He looked so pleased that it actually tugged at her heart strings as she leans over to give him a little kiss. “Hmm, it will be perfect.” He stated as they pulled apart.
Claire laughed softly as she looked around their home and she had a content little smile in that moment. “It already is.”
