COURTHOUSE

I didn't sleep at night thinking about Christopher's proposal and honestly I don't know how to go about it. I know that the only way Killian inherited the company even though he was not the heir in my past life is because he had me. I played the perfect role of a loving wife and gave him solutions to project he always brought home unknowingly destroying Christopher along the way.

I guess it's sort of like payment for all the hurt I indirectly caused in my past life if I marry him.

'where are you right now?' I texted him.

'in your apartment lobby. why?'

'what are you doing there at seven in the morning?'

'well you'll see when you come down. And please take as much time you need.'

'why would I pretty myself up for you in the morning? you don't pay me to be pretty for you Chris.'

I don't know why I shortened his name but damn saying Christopher the whole time we talk or text feel like a marathon I never wanna run.

'chris is it now Kim?'

'i guess since your name is damn long to be said in full everytime someone calls you. Don't you get tired of someone taking years just to say your name?'

'KIM'

'WHAT!? WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? I'm literally on the other side of the phone'

'you know what? nevermind just get down here.'

' I didn't see a please in that swntence'

'please Kimberly'

good boy. though you didn't have to full name me. Kim is fine by me.'

' fine Kim. where are you right now?'

'looking at you right now.'

He lifts his head and I have to swallow the gasp that was about to escape cause damn the boy is fine as hell. I wonder what Rose coloured glasses I had on in my last life that made me indifferent to this snack of a man.

"Why you looking at me like you want to swallow me?" he asks and without missing a beat I say, " every part of you or just a specific part?"

when he turns red I immediately realize my mistake but I sure as hell ain't going to apologize.

"Just a specific part if you don't choke first." he retorts after composing himself, making me choke on the saliva I was about to swallow.

"That right there is the reason why you won't survive me, ever ." the smug bastard is happy he got the last word

"Anyway before we get ahead of our selves, I bought us breakfast and so help me Nyx don't choke on it."

"Nyx?"

"That's all you got from that sentence?"

"Yes, well no but I thought you would be more of a Zeus guy."

"is it because I'm a guy?"

"Well I'd be lying to you if I said no."

"Zeus is just a popular god of them all but Nyx is the most powerful of them all so... yeah. Why did you want to know where I was?"

Shit I totally forgot about that.

"Um, I wanted to tell you my decision."

"Decision?"

" yep. I am officially about to become Mrs Carter."

"Does that mean what I think it means?"

"yes Christopher Carter, I agree to be your life."

You would think I just said some romantic life altering thing with how he is beaming at me. "You won't regret it I promise."

I hope so.

after three hours we are being married at the courthouse with one of the employees as our witness. " You may kiss the bride." the officiant says and I internally panic. Christopher tilts my jaw up and looks into my eyes like he is asking for permission. I give a subtle nod and he kisses me.

This man's kiss is gentle and unhurried like he has nowhere to be and I'll admit my favorite kisser so far if I'm counting my past life. I kiss him back passionately before we break to catch our breath.

"I now pronounce you MR and MRS Carter." the officiant's voice breaks us out of a trance we were in.
