I arrive home a little tipsy. I have had a busy day. I went dress shopping with Chelsea and her mom. I found my wedding dress! I chose a beautiful, long, strapless lace dress with a floral trail. As soon as I tried it on, I could tell it was meant for me. I couldn’t wait for Conrad to see me in it. After shopping for a dress, they treated me to dinner and drinks. The night has been fantastic.
Conrad had a poker night with his father, brothers and some friends. I am not sure if he was home yet. We wanted a low-key bachelor and bachelorette celebration. Our wedding is only four weeks away. The venue has been staying in touch with us, giving updates and sending videos and photos to ensure it meets our expectations.
A week before our departure, I made an appointment at the dress shop to ensure there was enough time for any needed alterations. My dress will be kept there for now. It’s getting nearer. I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. It is only natural, though.
I head inside and the place is empty. He must still be out. I pout because I wanted to see him, but it is fine, as long as he is having fun. To be completely honest, I desired him to be home because I am horny from the cocktails, but I can wait.
A nice, warm bubble bath seems like a great idea. It will be nice to relax. I have to admit, I’ve been stressing a bit these past few weeks, wanting our wedding to be absolutely perfect. There is no need for it because the venue knows what they are doing. I want everything to go smoothly without any issues. Everything is going to be okay.
I start my bath, setting up some candles and music in the bathroom. The addition of a small glass of wine will make it perfect. I’ll only take a small one since I’ve had my fill for tonight, given that I’m not much of a drinker. I am grateful to have Conrad’s family as part of my life. If they didn’t accept me, I truly believe I would feel very alone in all of this, since I have no family of my own. Well, I do now, but without them, things would be different.
I prepared everything on my bed for later, after my bath. When I’m finished, I grab my wine from the kitchen and head back to the bathroom. Stripping down, I sink into the tub and rest back against the tub. Yes, this is the life. I grab my glass and take a sip before setting it down. I shut my eyes and savour the music that fills my ears. My mind wanders to thoughts of our wedding, bringing a smile to my face. It will take time to get used to calling myself someone’s wife, but I am so eager for it and eventually to be called mom too. These are significant changes, but I’m prepared for them.
The sound of my cell interrupts my thoughts. I reach for it, being careful not to drop it in the water. It is Conrad video calling me. I answer and hope I am not in view of everyone since I am in the tub.
“Hey, handsome.”
“Hey, beautiful. Are you in a bath? What time did you arrive home?”
“Yes, I am in the tub. About twenty minutes ago. Is your night going well?”
“Yes. Did you find your dress?” he asks, hopeful.
With a bright smile and eager nod, I declare, “It’s just perfect.”
He grins. “I can’t wait to see you in. You are going to look absolutely stunning, I just know it.”
With a blush, “I hope that’s the case.”
He tells me to wait a minute and starts walking somewhere else.
“I don’t doubt it. Why are you taking a bath without me?” he pouts.
I laugh loudly. “You will get over it. We have the rest of our lives to bathe together, handsome.”
His lips curve into a smirk. “Yes, we do. Can I have a peek?”
With a playful eye roll, I reply, “Absolutely not. When you return home, you can.”
Conrad huffs, “Mean.”
“Nevertheless, you love me.”
He nods eagerly, “Always and forever. I will be home soon, beautiful. Please, try to stay up for me.”
Silently, I lower my phone and reveal my breasts to him. I chuckle as he groans, and then I lift it back up to face level.
“Believe me, I have no intention of sleeping until you’re back. Enjoy the rest of your night.” I wink and hang up the call.
A text comes through only a minute later.
My little tease. I am ready to have you teasing me for the rest of my life. I will finish my drink and be right home, angel xx
Mmm, I will be ready and waiting for you. xx
By the time he finishes his drink and gets home, it will be at least another hour. I can relax for a little longer before I need to get out and get ready.
After I finish my bath, I put on a towel and go to the bedroom. I relax on the bed and browse through today’s photos. There are some with me in my dress. I made the right choice. It’s evident from the pictures that I had been crying. Most of the tears were happy, but there was a moment of sadness as I realized I didn’t have a mother or sister to share these experiences with. The sadness was short-lived because my parents were never fit to be parents. I’ve never needed them and certainly don’t have a need for them now either.
To prevent Conrad from accidentally seeing them, I move the photos to a locked folder. He isn’t allowed to see it until our wedding day. I’m eager for the next four weeks to pass quickly so I can marry my future husband. He’s going to look incredibly handsome; I just know it. I’m curious about his reaction when he sees me approaching. I think he might cry. I’ll be crying too, so he won’t be the only one.
