"Don't fucking laugh and help me find a pen" I lectured, seeing his cheeks getting red as he placed a hand over his chest and continued laughing. "What are you laughing about?"

"Ah shit, we're a mess"

"Oh, really? I didn't notice" I scoffed, starting at his expression. He stopped for a second "Why do you even need a pen?"

"Because I'm going to use my artistic skills and draw a ring on your finger" I replied. The officiant pulled a pen out of his pocket and passed it to me.

Lorenzo snatched the pen off my hold "I'll start"

Oh, so now he wants to use my idea?

The man in front of us spoke "Please repeat after me as you do whatever is that you're going to do"

He nodded and held my hand, stroking my knuckles. I suppressed a smile. It still hurts a bit after punching Natalya a few hours ago.

"I, Lorenzo, take you, Maya, to be my lawfully wedded" he repeated after the officiant as he proceeded to draw a line over my ring area. He took his time with it, making sure it was perfect "to have and hold, from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health. Until death do us apart"

"The vows, on our terrific random wedding day, you weren't supposed to take them seriously" his voice was soft, a mere whisper.

I weakly smiled, placing my hand on top of his, which were holding his jacket over my wound "Damn, I thought it was for real" A tear ran down my sides.

I was tired, too tired to keep my eyes open.

"Please, don't leave me, please"

It was now my turn to do the same. I took his hand into mine and began to draw a line over his tattooed finger. I repeated the vows "Until death do us apart" I completed and winked at him.

My eyes were glued to his. "By the authority vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Since you have consented to join together in the bond of matrimony. I now pronounce you marriage partners. You may now kiss"

As soon as the words were spoken Lorenzo placed his hands on both sides of my face and slammed his lips against mine. I almost lose balance at the impact and I giggled, wrapping my arms around him.

"I love you" Lorenzo muttered in between the kiss. I wanted to say it was soft and cute but it wasn't, it was a hungry, passionate kiss. "And I guess, I love you" I replied, not able to hold back a smile. 

At this exact moment, I recognized I didn't just love him, I was madly in love with this man. I was in love with his smile. I was in love with the way he looked at me. I was in love with his forehead kisses after sex. I was just in love with him. I was proud of myself for admitting it.

Lorenzo pulled away, kissing my forehead. "Who would have thought we would be getting married like this"

I chuckled "Like this? Have you thought about marrying me before?"

He tilted his head and pinched his brow together "Maybe"

"Hmm, very interesting" I purred. "I'll show you interesting later" he smirked before turning to face the officiant.
