After leaving the restaurant we get into the car to go home. Kota turns on some music and a song that sounded really pretty came on, I was so mesmerized that I almost completely forgot about the incident moments ago.
(Such a pretty song, the girl singing it has a beautiful voice.)
Kadachi broke the silence with a low sigh.
"Kairi?"
I look at him seeing a serious yet calm expression across his face.
"Yes?"
He stares at me for a long moment, he seemed to be thinking intently before finally speaking again.
"When you feel comfortable enough, id like to talk to you about some things. Can you promise me that you will try to settle in?"
(Why is he asking such a question? Have I been that standoffish?)
I blush a little feeling a bit embarrassed. I nod and turn away from him.
"Sure."
(Kadachi pov)
I smirk upon hearing her answer.
(The things I so badly want to ask her are probably to much for her to think about right now. So for now, I'll just wait and try to make her feel more comfortable.)
I look at the review mirror and see Kota look up at it the same time as I do, we lock eyes and he nods.
(Kairi pov)
After a decently long car ride, I became suspicious considering we should be home by now, I decide to ask Kadachi.
"um...Kadachi? Where are we going?"
Kadachi smirks.
"To somewhere nice, I'm sure you'll like it."
I twiddle with my fingers to uncomfortable to say anything else.
(I just want to sleep, im so tired.)
I yawn and just huddle up against the seat closing my eyes.
(Maybe I'll just take a nap here.)
(The next day)
I sleepily open my eyes to see an unfamiliar room with an unfamiliar smell of salt. I sit up pulling the blanket around me I go to investigate. As soon as I open the door I am bumped into by someone.
(Owe...My nose...)
I rub my nose and look up to see Kadachi who was also a bit shocked.
"Sorry I wasn't expecting u to open the door just then, I was about to come wake u up for breakfast."
(Breakfast?)
I turn around to find a clock on the wall. It read 8:15 am.
(I must have been asleep for while.)
"Kadachi where are we?"
Kadachi just smirks and rubs my hair.
"Go get cleaned up and ill explain everything at breakfast."
I nod and he walks off. I do as I was told and go wash up, upon stepping out of the shower a white summer dress was hung on the closet door ready for me with a note.
I pick up the note and read it, it was from Kadachi and upon reading it I smile.
"Kota will be waiting for you outside of your room to escort you to the dining room, Put this on."
I lay the note down and put on the dress, it fit perfectly and was very pretty. I walk out to see Kota smiling and leaning up against the wall in front of my door.
"Ms. Kairi, this way please!"
I silently nod and follow him, It took a minute to walk to the dining room, this place was pretty big and very elegant. The smell of food filled the air as I walked into the dining room, im sat next to Kadachi who was going through some papers. Once I sat down he looks up at me with a gentle smile.
"You look beautiful, Breakfast is almost done and after we're done eating I have a surprise for you but first I want to ask you some questions if that's alright."
I gulp but nod.
(Hopefully, it's not about what happened yesterday.)
Kadachi clears his throat.
"Our marriage is set to be sometime next month, what day would you like?"
(Oh, it's just the formal stuff he wants to talk about...Thank goodness.)
I silently sigh with relief and smile back at him.
"Oh, I'm not picky at all you can choose it yourself if you'd like."
Kadachi chuckles.
"No, this is something that I will only allow my wife to choose."
I blush and look down.
"I, Uh ok well...How about the 7th?"
Kadachi thought about it for a second then nodded and wrote the date down.
"That's fine, Now for guests, Would you like your family to be there?"
Startled for a moment I was conflicted on whether to say yes or no.
(If I say no, then im sure my family would find some way to give me a hard time, but if I say yes...Then I might have a chance to be on good terms with them.)
Happy with my thoughts I nod.
"Yes."
Kadachi seemed to be a bit shocked by my response. He just nodded and wrote something else down.
"Ok, Would you like a traditional or a custom wedding ceremony?"
I thought about it for a second before answering.
"What's a custom wedding?"
Kadachi chuckles before answering.
"It's where you choose how to make your ceremony, instead of the normal traditional way you can change it up a bit."
(I feel like that would be more problematic...I better go the traditional way.)
"Um, Traditional is fine with me."
Kadachi writes down something and then hands me the sheet of paper, I look at him confused, before reading over it he holds my hand, in that instant, my heart skipped a few beats.
*Ba-dump, Ba-dump*
"From the answers and responses you had given me I can tell what kind of person you might be."
Shocked by his words I gulp thinking it was about to get bad.
(Am I a bad person? Is this why he brought me here?)
I shiver and Kadachi frowns before continuing.
"Don't be scared, I did this to show you something. Look you chose the number 7, but you first said it didn't matter to you. You're being shy. Then I asked about your family coming to the wedding...I know little about your family situation but what I do know is that they aren't good people, yet you still said yes. So that tells me 2 things. You fear them, and you still have unconditional love for them. That's not necessarily a bad thing to have. Then the last thing I asked was about the wedding ceremony. You chose the traditional way, you hesitated because you didn't know what a custom was but upon hearing what it was you still went with traditional. That tells me that you don't care about money and that you a virtuous women. These answered to the questions that I asked aren't the only way I was able to tell how you're a truly virtuous and good woman, but since the moment you came to live with us and how you acted told me this. I know that you have been through a lot of bad situations but I want you to know...As long as im here with you I will never let anything bad like whatever has happened to you ever happen again."
I feel a tear rush down my face and I quickly wipe it away.
(This man...Hes...A really nice guy.)
I smile and giggle.
"Thank you Kadachi."
Kadachi smirks.
"Alright, now it's time for your surprise."
