.Chapter 32: for a love.
We walk into the banquet hall where the dinner will be served. Music is playing throughout the speakers and their is enough tables set up to seat at least fifty people.
Marah holds onto my arm, looking around the room I spot the alcohol.
"This is officially worsethan the apocalypse." Allison comments from besides us.
"Ah, there we are." I whisper, pulling Marah with me to the drink bar. Grabbing a few different drinks we go and find our own table to sit at.
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I look over at Marah as our food is served, seeing her face light up at the sight of the food, knowing this could be our last meal. She starts eating her food as I sit here staring like a creep.
She turns to look at me, her eyes twinkling under the lights as she holds a glass of champagne. "What? Is there something on my face?" She asks, setting her glass down and goes to grab her napkin.
I place my hand on top of hers, stopping her from grabbing the napkin. "No. You just look beautiful."
"That was cheesy, Mr. Hargreeves." Marah laughs, using my last name instead of my first name.
"Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Hargreeves, was my comment not up to par for you?" I ask, a smile tugging at my lips.
"No, It was perfect." Marah comments, kissing my cheek before going back to eating her food.
I'm complete
Let's go all
The way tonight
No regrets
Just love
We can dance...
You make me
Feel like I'm livin a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
I sip more of my champagne while looking around the room, I see Lila and Diego at their own table, Klaus and Ben at their own table, Luther and Sloane at their own table, Allison by the bar, and Viktor at his own table.
I scan the room, looking for any signs that are saying 'the world is about to end', but find none. Turning back in my seat, I see Marah looking me up and down, not even trying to hide it. It's probably all the alcohol she's consumed.
"Love, my eyes are up here." I state, putting a finger under her chin and lifting her eyes up to mine.
"I know. I just think you're hot with this distressed look you have going on." Marah smiles, running her hand through my hair, messing it up further.
By 'distressed look', she means that I took my tie off before we came to get food, my coat is sitting on the back of my chair, the top three buttons of my shirt are undone, showing my new tattoo, and my hair is not slicked back anymore, thanks to Marah.
"You know, I think we should do it." Marah says, leaning her head on my shoulder.
I feel my breath catch at her words, not having expected her to say that so publicly. "Like, right now?"
"Yeah. I mean, why not?" Marah questions, removing her head from my shoulder and wrapping her arms around my neck. "We're running out of time, we might as well knock a few more things off our bucket lists."
"Uh,...Sure. Yeah, no, sounds like a great idea, love." I respond, dazed.
"Great." Marah kisses my cheek before standing up. "I'll go tell Klaus, and I'll make sure he tells the others."
I nod my head as she walks away, only now having it click. "Wait! Why do we need Klaus?" I question. "Can't we just sneak away back to your room?"
Marah stands there with a confused look on her face before a blush covers her face. "I was talking about us getting married, not having sex, you idiot." Marah whisper-yells, not wanting to attract to much attention.
My mouth forms an 'o' as she explains what she mean't. "So you don't want to have sex with me?" I ask, hoping her answer will be what I'm looking for.
"Yes. I do, but I want to do the whole marriage thing, seeing as we won't live long enough to be able to actually do it." Marah states, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Okay." I smile, leaning down, I kiss her lips softly before pulling away. "Go tell everyone, I'll be waiting for you at the end of the isle."
She nods her head before walking away, again. I grab my champagne glass and down it before refilling it and downing that glass as well.
Before I can walk away Klaus walks up to me. "Congratulations!" Klaus says, attempting to hug me. "I'm so happy that you took me up on my offer. Maybe we can even get Diego and Lila next."
"Thanks, buddy." I say, patting him on the back as I go to leave.
"Wait, I just wanted to say that..." Klaus starts, pausing for some kind of dramatic effect. "I think you've finally found the girl. You got the girl."
Klaus walk off then, heading towards the ceremony hall. I smile at what he said, knowing that he's right. I did get the girl.
I blink to the ceremony room and see everyone sitting down, Klaus standing at the end of our make shift isle, and Marah no where to be seen. I walk to the end of the isle and wait for her to walk in. I don't have to wait long as she soon walks in, everything the same, just now she has a small bouquet of flowers in one hand, and two rings in the other.
Once she makes her way all the way down, she hands the rings off to Klaus and the flowers off to Sloane, then grabbing my hands and facing me.
"I'm just going to skip all the boring stuff and get right into the question we all want answered." Klaus starts, getting a laugh out of everyone. He turns to me first. "Do you, Five Hargreeves, take Marah Hargreeves, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, till death do us part in a few days?"
I smile at his rendition of the typical question asked at a wedding. "I do."
Klaus smiles, turning towards Marah next. "Now, do you, Marah Hargreeves, take this lunatic, Five Hargreeves, as your husband?"
Marah laughs, her eyes shining and her teeth showing. "I do."
"I pronounce you married." Klaus states. "You may now kiss your child bride."
We all look at him weirdly before I lean over and pull Marah closer, pulling her in for a kiss. We pull away a few minutes later as everyone cheers. I turn to Klaus, Marah holding onto my waist. "That was weird, never, never say that again."
