Call Out My Name (Madeleine x Espresso)

Binding

A few months of planning, the venue is finally ready. The venue is located in a private beach. They are planned to be wed in sunset, just in time for the night time ceremony for the newly wed.

With Latte and Espresso

Latte grabbed her handkerchief and wiped tears off her face, trying not to smudge her eyeliner. "Oh my- Oh my god-", Latte cried. Espresso got closer and said, "Latte, I'm not forever forever gone, you can still talk to me, stop crying."

Latte stopped crying and said, "It's just that- we wouldn't be hanging out much! You would always be with Madeleine now- And! And-", Latte blew her nose. "But I'm happy for you... Go and live your dream with him.", Latte's voice cracked. Espresso hugged Latte. "I'll still hang out with you, It doesn't mean I'm never hanging out with you anymore 'kay?", Espresso patted Latte's back.

Latte sniffled and pat Espresso's back too. "Okay, okay."

"Want me to help you with that?", Latte grabbed Espresso's tie. Espresso nodded. As Latte tied Espresso's tie, Espresso asked, "How do you know how to tie?".

Latte giggles and says, "I learned about it, so I could tie my future husband's tie someday...", Latte smiled. "Wow, you're in love with someone no?", Espresso asked. "Hm... Yeah I guess.", Latte replied.

The door opened and it was Almond. "Hey, the car is ready, hurry up.", Almond exited the room. Espresso looked at Latte. Latte's smiling and blushing. "Is that him?", Espresso asked. "Yeah, he's a good man, a gentleman indeed.", Latte finishes tying the neck tie. "There! Get out there and catch your ride, I'll come after you.", Latte exited the room and left Espresso.

Espresso's POV

I checked myself in the mirror, turning around, making sure everything is perfect. After I made sure, I twistes the doorknob, seeing the ring in my finger. I smiled and went down the hall to go outside. The driver waved at me. I waved back and got inside.

I looked outsise the window, playing with my fingers. I feel emotions like being nervous, happy, excited, and scared it'll go wrong. "Nervous sir?", the driver asked, looking from the mirror in front. "Yeah...", I replied. "No need to be, it's your special day with someone special, enjoy it, it's once in a lifetime.", the driver said. Espresso felt better and comforted. "Thank you.", Espresso replied. The driver's eyebrows went up as a response.

In a while, they got to the hotel where one groom is supposed to stay for the mean while. Espresso got out and saw many people there. They walked to Espresso and shook his hand. "Congrats for you two!", people said. Espresso looked like he didn't know these people. "Guys! You're making him uncomfortable, we should say who we are, why we're here!", someone said. They nodded and said, "We're employees in other floors, forgot us?", someone said and laughed lightly. Espresso awkwardly smiled and said, "Oh! Um, thank you!"

They walked away, after greeting and Espresso went to the room he's told to stay. He entered the room and saw big boxes with gifts. His jaw dropped and his phone rang. "Hi love~", Madeleine's voice called. "Hello darling, have you checked in your hotel?", Espresso asked. "Yes! Have you?", Madeleine replied. "I'm in the room, with lots of boxes with gifts! Haha...", Espresso said mixed with an overwhelmed tone.

"Mines too, I invited the employees, I'm glad they accepted.", Madeleine said. "Ohh, that's right! You're friends with everyone.", Espresso chuckles.

"Get some rest for now.", Madeleine says. "Mm, okay.", Espresso yawned after. "Love you.", Madeleine said through the phone. Espresso blushed and smiled. "Love you too, see you later~", Espresso hung up and admired the view of the beach through the big window.

Espresso slept on the bed for a while, carefully lying down so he doesn't crumple his suit.

After a some hours, he woke up and saw a missed call. He didn't wake ul because his phone was on silent. It was from Anne. "Good day sir! The wedding will be taking place in 5:00pm.", Anne said in the voicemail. Espresso typed back, "Thank you for reminding me. Anne."

He checked the clock and it's 4:00pm. He stretches and brushes off anything and went out. Another car waiting. He went in the car and it took him to the venue. He had to stay in the car and wait, he didn't get bored, the driver was a chatter.

It was after the flower girl spread the petals on the way.

When it was time, Espresso was given a bouquet of pink and red roses by Anne, dressed up as well. Espresso stood in front of the door and the giant doors opened slowly. Everyone's eyes were on him.

At the altar, there stood the priest and Madeleine. The guests look at Espresso in awe. Espresso walked forward to the altar. He eyed Latte in the seat, softly sniffling and Almond giving her a handkerchief.

As he reached the altar, he faced Madeleine and smiled. My, Madeleine is still star-struck by Espresso by even the simplest things.

The preist cleared his throat and spoke. "We all gather here today to witness a ceremony of two souls being intertwined officially. A once in a lifetime event for two lovers, Espresso and Madeleine.", the crowd never made a noise. The only sound coming around was the organ's sound coming out of the speakers.

"You may say your vows, Madeleine.", the preist turned to Madeleine.

"Espresso, it's been years since our anniversary, I am truly happy to be here by your side. I couldn't wait any longer than that moment so that I could kneel and ask you to marry me. You are already making me the happiest man alive just by existing snd seeing you everyday was enough for me. Here, I promise to be with you just as like you being with me. I will protect you from any conflict. I will stand by your side in good and bad times. I will stay loyal, will love whatever you will become, I will not do anything to not please you. In simpler words, I will love you for infinity, til my last breath."

Espresso tried to stop crying on the spot. Espresso wiped his eye with a finger. The priest turned to Espresso. "You may say your vows, Espresso."

Espresso takes a deep breath and says...

"Madeleine, like you said that you'll be with me at all times, I will be here with you too. I will be alright wherever we go, because you're with me. I will not let anything bad separate us. Like a lock, you're my key. I will be with you in sickness and health, good and bad, unconditionally loving you will be my priority. As your husband, I will please you. I will give my all like you give all of you. I will be more than happy to spend my last breath with you. I love you Madeleine, always know that."

"The rings, please.", the priest asked. A young boy got up with the rings on a small cushion. The couple grabbed the rings from the cushion and put them in each other's fingers.

And when they were done, the priest held Espresso and Madeleine's hand together and brought them to the center. "I announce you two, husbands for life, you may kiss the groom.", the priest announced.

Madeleine and Espresso leaned to each other's lips and shared a kiss. The crowd cheered, whooping here and cheering there. The two separate from the kiss and look at the crowd. Latte was one of the whoopers, most of them are clapping. The guests get to get out first. When they got out, the couple went next. They were showered with "Congratulations!"

Espresso aimed the bouquet high and threw it. Most girls tried to catch it. But Latte overrun them. Even in heels, she slid and caught it. "You're next Latte!", Espresso said to Latte and winked. Latte blushed as she felt Almond next to her. The couple walked to their car and was driven. It was already night time, the sun has set.

The driver took them to the hotel. Madeleine carried Espresso out in bridal style. "Just married the best man in the world~", Madeleine cheered to himself.

"No, you're the best man in the world~", Espresso said and kissed Madeleine. "Where should we spend our honeymoon, darling?", Madeleine asked. Espresso looked around the room. "Let's start with the bed~".
