rhettfmā:
he grunted in both agreement and dreadĀ .Ā the first oneĀ ,Ā because regardless of most people there already being familiar with the way rhett wasĀ ,Ā that didnāt stop them from gathering around all at once the moment the ceremony was over like someone would get a prize for congratulating them firstĀ .Ā the second oneĀ ,Ā but he knew that that didnāt hold a candle to whatever was coming next with a reception that was still ahead of them before they were able to call it a dayĀ .Ā without even knowing at first why milena was moving awayĀ ,Ā his brows furrowed and he let out a breathless complaintĀ ,Ā his lap suddnely feeling too cold and too light without the comforting weight of milenaās body pressed against hisĀ .Ā he let his eyes follow her movesĀ ,Ā too captivated by the girl to even realizing what she was fetchingĀ .Ā a soft smile took over his lips once she was sat on him againĀ ,Ā one of his arms immediately wrapping around her waist to keep her closeĀ .Ā Ā āĀ you look gorgeousĀ ā¦Ā āĀ he repeated the phrase he had first uttered once milena had reached the end of the aisle and had stopped in front of himĀ ,Ā his smile never faltering even as he rolled his eyes lovingly at the girl as she replied to his commentĀ .Ā Ā āĀ itās a little too late to fight me on itĀ ,Ā babeĀ .Ā thatās why they say to speak now or forever hold your peaceĀ ā¦Ā now you gotta suck it up and deal with me until we dieĀ .Ā āĀ he chuckled lowlyĀ ,Ā only growing at her following wordsĀ .Ā Ā āĀ youāve been calling me my full name a lot todayĀ ,Ā milena theodora barloweĀ .Ā Ā āĀ he hummed teasingly before pursing his lips to kiss her backĀ ,Ā reaching for another kiss for good measure before actually pulling backĀ ,Ā leaning against the back of the couch they were onĀ .Ā he thanked her under his breath before opening the water bottleĀ ,Ā emptying one of them in just a couple of gulps before setting it aside to turn his attention to the snacksĀ .Ā he frownedĀ ,Ā reached for the trail mix and tossed it away like an entitled kidĀ -Ā which he was more often than people would thinkĀ -Ā Ā āĀ that has raisinsĀ ,Ā what spawn of satan would add raisins in anythingĀ ?Ā āĀ rhett sighed and shook his head like it was the biggest disappointment before he reached for the chocolate covered almondsĀ ,Ā eating one before offering one to milena as he moved it closer to her lipsĀ .
each time rhett complimented her, her cheeks turned a light pink and her heart skipped a beat like it was the first time sheād ever heard the words in her life, and this time was no different. a shy smile on her lips, milena brushed off the skirt of her wedding dress as she jokingly played off,Ā āin this old thing? i just put on the first thing i saw this morning.ā turning more serious, she leaned in for a soft kiss, murmuring,Ā āyouāre pretty handsome yourself, you know.ā the brunette laughed as she lightly shook out stray wisps of hair to the sides of her face,Ā āi donāt want to fight you on it! youāre stuck with me till the end of time. i hope you know what you signed up for.ā she gave him a warning look with wide eyes, as if he hadnāt already dealt with her highest highs and lowest lows --- been there to hold her when she fell into uncontrollable sobs, and somehow dealt with her craziness, especially when she had a couple too many glasses of wine with friends. she knew there were few stones unturned between them at this stage, but it didnāt stop her from being scared that there would be a breaking point one day, when he woke up and regretted waking up next to her. but, today of all days was not the day milena was letting her irrational fear of rhett leaving her win. she was ecstatic to be seated on his lap as his wife, the reflection of the light off his new wedding band catching her eye every so often.Ā āit carries more weight,ā she reasoned with a quiet giggle,Ā āit really drives the point home when i use your full name.ā her smile widened at the name he used for her -- milena theodora barlowe.Ā ānow thatās a good name,ā she teased, only slightly joking. she went ahead and opened the packet of cookies as he drank his water, absentmindedly reaching up to wipe a corner of his lips when he finished.Ā āhey!ā she laughed mid-bite as the bag of trail mix went flying.Ā āwhat if i wanted that?!ā she had no particular yearning for it, but it was more amusing to make a fuss out of nothing.Ā āif only your opponents knew they could take you down with raisins,ā she said in jest, lips parting instinctively when rhettās hand drew closer with food. the brunette accepted the almond carefully to avoid getting any remaining lipstick on his fingers, offering him a tender smile before she returned the favor with the second half of the cookie between her fingers.
