"I doubt anybody is going to fault us for not getting five star steak meat for our wedding. I mean, it's probably going to be the best a lot of us have eaten since the Christmas Gala - or longer depending." But it seemed like Marcus was making nice honeymoon promises, and Cass sighed contently, relaxing more and more underneath his touch.
He was too good for her, but she wasn't going to complain about marrying better than she deserved.
"Steak and Chicken are good options for sure. Maybe with some sort of pasta or something with it? Just in case we have any vegetarians or something.." She had no idea if they did or not, but being considerate was important.
"Well, as long as it won't be wasted space. I'd hate for us to have more in a house than we need... then again, I can't imagine there will be much else anybody else would need it for, so..." It wasn't like they could have kids together or anything. Not that she was at a point of wanting them - and the mention of children would probably make her crinkle her nose.
"If you want four rooms, four rooms it is."

"It think it's just more standard." He smiled, letting himself relax. "The four rooms that is. As for pasta and a light salad? That would work. Could be an alfredo so it's a bit mellow and not an overpowering flavor. It'd go well with the chicken too." Alfredo could be overpowering but not to him. He also wasn't about to tell her about what he'd eaten at Vegas. Lobster had been a dream.
Hand stroking her back lazily, he scoot himself to curl next to her. "We also need to figure out if we do decorations of that sort of thing. As well if we want to go earlier than the guests. But um.. other then that.. There is something I want to give you. A bit of a pre-wedding gift, the rest comes after."
He was blushing but trying his best to keep a straight face. It wasn't working as the hints of a smile played on his lips.

"Is it?" she counted off on her fingers, crinkling her nose as she tried to recall a too far memory. "I....guess...." Man, it was really hard to remember that house now that she thought back on it. Just that it was white and had smelled a bit off. Funny what stuck with someone years and years after.
"Alfredo is fine. It's a bit of a 'standard' so I can't imagine there would be much complaint." Well, except from Rep who might just find an excuse to complain about something, since he seemed so bothered by the idea of her marrying Marcus. Ah well, she was going to be the happiest girl on the whole island soon enough - oh wait, she already was.
However, it seemed like Marcus was up to something now, and she tilted her head as she watched him, considering the cat-who-ate-the-canary esque look on his face. Hmmm....
"If it's any semblance of 'Lace-y', we might have a small problem." she said after a moment, "I'm just saying."

He smiled. "Was three bed for me, but four isn't that bad. We can always knock out a wall and expand a room." A nice big room for movies. Yeah. That sounded like a plan. Pushing up off the bed he fetched the scrap of paper. It was worn, but the writing on it was a familiar hand. His own. The date was June 20th, 2011. Quote: I don't know why I'm writing about it. It just felt like something I had to do, to get off my chest. I expected to die. I didn't expect to live. I didn't expect to live longer then the first attack. But I did. Should I say we? We all did. Her included. I got confused. She was there and it was like I just found myself distracted. I just went to her. I don't know why. We'd just starting joking. Joking of all things at they came for us. Who the ******** makes jokes when they're about to die. Aside from us apparently. She was stupid, idiotic, self sacrificing. Why did I help her? It was the other guy who needed help, but I focused on her. I was so ******** stupid. An idiot. Everyone probably thinks I'm some horn dog and now I've got a date. The most awkward ******** date but I'm happy. She's nice. Maybe things will work out. I don't know. I like her but she confuses me. I'm not sure how to feel. He was red. Looking away from her he explained. "I was just.. confused. writing my thoughts down was easy. I was going to do it for everything but eventually..." His hand slipped into her's. "I kept writing about you. I liked writing about you. You were on my min and I just... I started writing things I wanted to tell you." Marcus motioned to a small notebook. "I filled a whole journal with it and I thought... once we're married.... I'll let you read it. So you can find out all those things I just can't seem to say sometimes."

Scraps of paper might have been the last thing to crop up in her head when Marcus said he had something wedding-related for her. Especially the kind of paper it ended up being.
Her curiosity was immediately piqued as he handed it to her, holding it almost gingerly as she began to read it. Her brows first furrowed together as she frowned, as though not sure what she was reading at first. Then her eyes widened just a bit as the memory and the words seemed to click together. She looked up from the paper towards him.
She squeezed his hand back before she leaned her head against his shoulder, burying her smile into it.
"I'll admit I didn't exactly imagine this far ahead either. Not even as wishful thinking." she whispered. "I mean, who is ever lucky enough to get it right their first try, you know? I thought about that a lot for a while. I'll admit it. But.." she leaned over to kiss his cheek. "I don't regret any part of it. Any part of us or where we're headed. None of it."
Curling up on her side, she shifted closer to him. "Except the part where you half sleep on the wall when you're with me. I think that's very unfair." she teased, brushing her fingers across his face with a smile.

Laughing lightly, he kissed the top of her head. "I only regret we didn't meet each other sooner. But overall? No, I wouldn't change a thing." He looked over to the wall he half slept on. "And it's not so bad. I get to hold a beautiful woman in my arms and wake up to her each morning. It's a price I'm willing to pay." Each and every day if he had to. It was and always would be worth it.
Brushing hair away from her ear, he whispered into her ear teasingly. "And less lace, more silk. That comes after the wedding though."

"Nah. If we'd met sooner it might not have worked out so well, given my...situation." she confessed, but never the less she was content to lean against him. "Well, I'd rather you get to be comfortable as well. But...maybe after we move into the house." she smiled. "Even if you'll always be my favorite pillow."
When he whispered into her ear, her face turned a few shades of red. "Oh. Oh, well...well then." she coughed once. "I guess I'll get to see what you're little fantasies about what I should wear are." she teased.

He smiled and laughed into her neck. "You could wear a paper bag and I'd be happy. Not a fantasy, but you're so easy to tease." He rubbed her shoulder. He met her and had fallen for her. It was confusing even now. But it was a good confusion for him.
"We can get a king bed for the house. A nice one. And we can get one of those couches that you can shift around. A table that can be a cutting board. All the nice things."
He pulled her bad down on the bed. "I love you. I thought you might have been stupid a year ago, but I was the idiot. I keep thinking this isn't real." He was happy, even if other things might bring him down, she made him smile. "You're real, and I'm lucky fool who fell in love with you."

They could have possibly gotten the 'sappiest couple of the island' award sometimes.
"You do have the put up with my less charming habits too, of course. Like waking up at five in the morning and that I may just leave lights on and doors open and my toothbrush in the sink..." she began to list off potentially annoying traits.
"Or maybe even the fact I smell kind of funny after a day of work." Marrying her meant he did get all of the oddities that came with her, not just this idea of her being a perfect (????) beautiful angel in his eyes. "And frankly, you falling in love with me made me the lucky one."
