Chapter 12

Two weeks later…

Maxine and Miyuki stepped out of the building, everything was planned out and they had just finished talking with their wedding planner. Everything was set and ready to go and all they had to do was wait till the day came for them to get married.

"So how ya feelin babe?" Maxine couldn't help but chuckle seeing the excited look on Miyuki's face.

"How am I feeling? I'm feeling excited!" She hugged Maxine, "Max, for the first time in my life I'm truly happy!"

"I can tell."

"Max, I truly can't wait!"

Maxine giggled, "Well ya did say in two months."

"I know, and I'm regretting it now!" She buried her head on Maxine's shoulder while mustering up a slight chuckle.

"Well dat's what you get baby," Maxine couldn't help but grin then pulled Miyuki closer to her, "But jus' cause we gotta wait don' mean we can't enjoy ourselves till then."

"You do bring up a good point," Miyuki wrapped her arms around Maxine's waist, "But I guess I can only painfully wait till then, I honestly didn't think this two months would be hell for me."

"Well if it makes ya feel better, I'm totally fine about this."

"Oh you would so say that!"

Maxine laughed then looked at her, "Would dis make ya feel better babe," she slowly and gently pressed her lips on Miyuki's and kissed her, not caring in the least if anyone was watching.

They pulled away slowly, "That does make me feel better."

"I'm glad," she gently ran her finger down Miyuki's face to her chin, "So wanna go home?"

"Yeah."

The two walked over to Maxine's bike and hopped on, "Yo so should we go pick up Shizuma and Mera from the airport?"

Miyuki shook her head with a slight chuckle, "No, Shizuma called me this morning, Mera won forty thousand dollars from the roulette table and they are going to spend an extra week there."

"Fuck me! really?!" She snapped her gaze to her.

Miyuki nodded, "Yup, it was Mera's first time and won big," She chuckled.

"well shit, hope she don' spend it on more gamblin."

"No, from what Shizuma said, she wanted to use the money to have one more romantic week before coming back."

"Not a bad waste then," she revved up her bike, her loud engine drowning out other noises, "Hang on sweetheart."

Miyuki slide her hands down to Maxein's waist and held her, least till they slid a little lower.

"You hintin at somethin babe?"

She saw Miyuki's smirk, "Maybe."

"Well shit, lets hurry then!" in an instant, she took off and rushed back home.

"Oh look at this Alli-chan, isn't this cute!" Chikaru held up a cute pink turtle neck shirt, "I thought it would look cute on you."

She grabbed it and looked at it, ["It is really cute!"] She noticed the small animal designs on it.

"Try it on," She gleamed cheerfully.

Allison smiled warmly and slipped it on, a perfect fit.

["It fits great! Thank you Chikaru!"]

"Anytime."

Allison gazed down then looked at Chikaru, ["Hey Chikaru,"] She looked at her, ["Thank you, for spending these two weeks here with me. I can't tell how happy I've been to have you here."]

"Same here Alli-chan, it's been so fun!" Chikaru smiled warmly, it was a smile that Allison just loved, it was so mesmerizing, and she felt so safe with her, "Alli-chan," She grabbed her hands, "I've never felt this close to anyone."

["Really? But you're so nice, I'm sure everyone loves to be around you?"]

"But I've never felt like this towards anyone," Chikaru giggled, "I guess what I'm trying to say is… I think… I think I've fallen in love with you Alli-chan."

["What?!"] Allison couldn't believe it, no way did she just say that.

Chikaru nodded and sat closer to her, "I've fallen in love with you Alli-chan, the time I spent with you made me realize how happy I am just to be around you and I want to continue that happiness."

Allison gazed down to her phone, ["But how… How can you love someone like me? Look at me, I'm broken..."]

"Please don't say that, you know that's not true Alli-chan, I've seen how wonderful you are just by spending so much time with you."

["Why do you want to be with someone that can't speak or even hear you?"] Allison moved her eyes away from Chikaru.

Chikaru instead raised her hand gently, placed her fingers on Allison's chin then gently turned her head so that their eyes could meet.

Chikaru then leaned in towards her, kissing her which sent a shocking feeling all over Allison's body as their lips pressed against one another.

"Because I love you Alli-chan, in my heart I want to be with you and that's what matters to me."

A lone tear fell from Allison's eye, one she was quick to wipe away, ["Do you mean that?"]

Chikaru nodded, "Yes, Alli-chan. Will you be my girlfriend?" She asked with a loving smile.

Allison quickly nodded, ["Yes, I would love to be!"] The two then embraced and kissed once more as Chikaru brushed Allison's blonde hair over her hair and gently ran her hand down her cheek.

"I love you Alli-chan." Chikaru held her hands, though Allison looked like she wanted to cry and she then grabbed her phone.

["I love you too Chikaru,"] Allison looked at her, ["You've become so important to me, you know that don't you? You and my big sister have been so important in my life."]

Chikaru said nothing but take her in her arms once more.

["I should totally tell my sister about us,"] Allison grinned.

"In due time Alli-chan, I don't think your sister is here or Miyuki-san."

["I guess your right."]

"So Alli-chan," Chikaru smiled warmly at her, "What would you like to do?"

Allison's face gained a slight red hue for what she was about to ask, ["Can we… kiss a little more."]

Chikaru caressed Allison's cheek and leaned in to give her a passionate kiss.

Allison pulled away slightly, ["Do you want to know something Chikaru,"] Chikaru nodded, [If there was one wish I could wish for myself… it would be so that I could hear your voice, just one time."]

Chikaru pressed her head on Allison's and held her lovingly, hoping that maybe someday her hearing would be restored.

One Week Later…

Maxine laid in bed in her, her arm wrapped around Miyuki as she gently stroked her arm, "So damn, I still can't believe my sista is datin Chikaru." She chuckled.

"I know, I'm so happy for them."

She nodded, "I'm happy for Alli, I was always hoping she could find someone that could love her… man she does need someone to lean on."

Miyuki looked at her, "She has you."

"Yea… but I dunno, I don' think I help her as much as I think."

Miyuki raised herself on her elbow, "Of course you do, you've never left her side, not once and she knows that."

"It's strange ya know, I've always been lookin out for her since she was little and now that she's living her life a lot more, I kinda don' want her to leave my side ya know… but I gotta let her make her choices now."

Miyuki smiled, "You know, you sound like a mother would."

Maxine laughed, "Well that's because I always did look out for her, a lot more then my own mother did."

"More than your father?"

"Dad was always workin to help the both of us, can't really blame him."

Miyuki climbed on top of Maxine, "She's going to live her own life now, and she has Chikaru there for her, and she knows that you'll always be there when she needs you."

"Yea I know, I guess dat does make me feel better."

Miyuki giggled and placed her hand by Maxine's face, "She'll be fine Max."

Maxine smiled in return and that's when they both heard the door open and the familiar voice of Shizuma and Esmeralda could be heard.

"Guess there back, lets go." Miyuki quickly stood up, helped Maxine to her feet and the two walked on over to the main room.

They rushed downstairs and they saw the two hanging up their jackets on the coat rack.

"Shizuma!" She glanced up and saw Miyuki running at her and practically leapt in her arms.

"My my Miyuki, did you really miss me that much." She chuckled as she held Miyuki in her arms.

She pulled away, Miyuki's face red from her comment knowing that it was true, "It's just… not the same in this house without you."

"I'm flattered Miyuki," She smirked, "You loved to be by yourself back in Astraea."

"Honestly even then I missed having you around."

"I'm touched," Shizuma embraced her lifelong friend once more.

"How was da honeymoon?" Maxine asked.

"Dude holy shit do you even have to ask!" Esmeralda quickly chimed in, the happiest grin on her face, "It was the most amazing time I've ever had with my wife."

Shizuma wrapped her arm around Esmeralda to pull her in closer, "It was really fun, the best moment of my life with my Es-mer-al-da."

Esmeralda looked at her, then giggled, "Dude it don't work when you do it Shi-zu-ma."

"I'll make it work." She said, "So what about you two, how has it been?"

"It's been great."

Maxine looked at her, "Jus' great?"

Miyuki relaxed then chuckled, "The most wonderful time I've ever had as well, I've never felt so relaxed being with you."

Shizuma was touched and shocked hearing that, "Well I'll be damned, someone actually made you relax, that's really great Miyuki."

"Not like it was easy." Maxine said under breath.

"So Shizuma said you two are gonna get married?"

"Yea in one more month."

"Dude that is awesome!"

Shizuma nodded, "It truly is, I guess a lot happened while we were gone huh?"

"Yes it has… Maxine's sister is dating Chikaru."

"De verdad?" Esmeralda asked, "That's actually really cute." Shizuma followed up.

"It really is," Miyuki stepped a little closer to Shizuma, "I was also going to ask you if you would be there, standing next to me on my wedding day."

"Of course I would." Shizuma held her hands, "After what your parents put you through, you never wanted to get married but I'm glad that you found someone you want to be with Miyuki."

"It's all I've ever wanted, to have the love of my life next to me, that completes me." Miyuki glanced at Maxine, she stood there with her hands in her pockets and a smile on her face, "I couldn't ask for more."

Shizuma and Esmeralda smiled at the two, watching them embrace.

"So," Maxine looked at them, "Forty thousand huh?"

"Dude holy fuck! Yes! That was freakin awesome!"

"Forty thousand?" The two looked up, seeing Chikaru walking down the stairs hand in hand with Allison.

"Yeah, Mera won forty thousand dollars her first time playing roulette."

["What?! That's incredible!"]

"Yea! I still have over thirty six left over, speaking of which, I bought you all a few gifts."

"Before any of that, you have to tell us how your honeymoon went."

"Let's make some food first, we haven't eaten anything since we got on the plane." Shizuma suggest as evidenced by her rumbling tummy.

"I'm cooking!" Esmeralda quickly rushed to the kitchen.

"Not without me!" Chikaru rushed alongside her, but not before she grabbed Allison's hand and gently pulled her with her.

Wedding Day

-"So how do you feel Miyuki?"-

-"Like I want to throw up."- She said, steadying herself on the mirror stand.

-"It's just your nerves, it'll pass the moment you get up there, I promise."-

Miyuki looked at her, -"I know, it's just… this is the first time I'm getting married because I want too and I'm just nervous."-

-"I understand how you feel,"- Shizuma walked up to her, -"But don't be so nervous, this is your day, a day like this doesn't happen so often."-

-"M-maybe we should postpone it for another week."- Miyuki said causing Shizuma to laugh.

-"Miyuki, stop being so afraid, it'll be fine. Besides I'll be up there with you in case you need me. Everything you're feeling, it'll pass."-

-"I bet you weren't so nervous when you married Mera."-

-"I was but the moment I stepped up there and I was next to her, I didn't feel afraid anymore and you'll feel the same too."-

Miyuki looked at herself in the mirror, -"I suppose you're right."-

-"And besides,"- Shizuma's trademark smirk returned to her face, -"Think of the after wedding sex you'll have afterwards."-

Miyuki's face went bright red, Shizuma just had a way of flustering the usually serious Miyuki, -"Shizuma!"- Miyuki's outburst was met with Shizuma's laughter.

-"Feeling better?"-

-"You're terrible."- Miyuki chuckled.

"You know you love me."

Miyuki turned to look at her, "And I always will."

Shizuma pulled her best friend in and hugged her, softly running her hand on her back, "You ready?"

"Yes."

The chapel was filled with a few coworkers, Shizuma's family, Maxine's family, and a few friends, sadly however Miyuki's family didn't even show up which only reminded Esmeralda how her own family didn't show up for her wedding but then again they got their money so why would Miyuki's family care.

Allison stood by her sister while Chikaru had front row seats.

The doors opened up, the loud creaking and groaning from the doors echoing throughout the building.

Maxine turned her attention to it, she was awestruck seeing her soon to be wife stepping into the room, a beautiful white dress that exposed both her shoulders, white arm length lace gloves and a veil that flowed behind her.

Maxine however was dressed just like Shizuma thought she would, black leather pants, white dress shirt and a black leather jacket with her usual knee high boots, while not wedding appropriate it was what Maxine liked and she didn't like formal dressing to begin with but she made due.

Miyuki finally made it to the altar, next to Maxine and the two only stared into each other's eyes even after the priest stood in front of them.

Maxine reached for Miyuki's hands and held them, she could feel Miyuki tighten her grip on them, no doubt she was being overwhelmed by her emotions, a lone tear escaped from her lashes.

The priest began his words, reciting them perfectly and saying sweet things about the two people about to be wed. Miyuki glanced at the crowd, most were moved by what was going on and even Maxine's family was touched, she looked at Allison who was clearly crying, tears of joy no doubt.

"Now do you Miyuki, take Maxine to be your wife till death do you apart?"

Miyuki nodded, "I do."

"And do you Maxine, do you take Miyuki as your wife till death do you apart?"

"I'd do more than dat." She smirked.

"Then I pronounce you wife and wife." He said as he closed his book, "You may kiss the bride."

Maxine pulled Miyuki in closer, and gave her a sweet loving kiss then pulled away, "I'd do more but then it'd get too hardcore ya know." She whispered, seeing Miyuki chuckle slightly.

The crowd began to clap, happy for the newly married couple.

Miyuki couldn't contain what she was feeling and pulled Maxine to her, holding her close and Maxine could feel Miyuki sobbing lightly on her shoulder.

Maxine smiled and wrapped her arms around her, holding her lovingly.

"Come on Miyuki," Maxine whispered gently, "Lets go." She felt Miyuki nod her head and the two walked down the carpeted floor, passing the many people congratulating them. They walked into the limo that Shizuma had waiting for them to take them to where they wanted to go, but like Maxine had suggested to go home to consummate their marriage to which Miyuki quickly agreed.

The day after, the girls all planned a large party to follow up the celebration for Miyuki and Maxine, the party lasted well into the night, all the girls enjoying themselves. The music was a mix of Miyuki's favorite type of music and other songs were of Maxine's favorites, the food was prepared by Chikaru and Esmeralda, Allison helped Shizuma with the decorations for their small party.

They laughed, danced, and had fun well into the night and it would soon be morning. The party came to an end and everyone retreated to their rooms for their much needed rest, but there was one room who would not be doing any sleeping any time soon.

After helping Chikaru clean up, Miyuki walked upstairs to her room, her footsteps being muffled by the carpet as she made her way to her room. She opened the door and stepped inside.

She looked up and gasped, seeing someone sitting in front of a window, "Max, you scared me."

She heard her laugh, "I anit no monster babe," She said.

"What are you doing? I thought you were asleep?"

"Nah, I thought we can have some extra fun."

"Like what?" Miyuki asked as she stepped closer but Maxine raised her hand to signal her to stop.

"Weeell," though Miyuki couldn't see it due to the lack of light, Maxine was giving a big smirk, "How 'bout you do somethin sexy for me."

"L-like what?" Miyuki asked failing to hide the nervousness from her voice, which Maxine was quick to pick up on.

Maxine crossed her leg over the other and leaned back on the chair, "Do a strip tease for me."

"What?!"

"Ya heard me," she giggled, "Ya know, maybe dance a little, shake your butt, and strip." Maxine covered her mouth with her hand to hide her big grin.

Miyuki's face was boiling up, "I-I-I've never done something like that."

"Then this will be fun sweetheart."

Maxine flicked a switch and music began to play with exotic electronic beats and it fit the mood perfectly.

Miyuki didn't really know how to even go about doing something like and began to unbutton her shirt quickly.

"Ah ah!" Maxine raised her hand to stop her, "slow and sexy babe." She leaned back and covered her mouth.

Miyuki stood there for a while till finally she began to slowly shake her hips, while slowly buttoning her blouse, "Now shake out your hair a little." Maxine said.

Miyuki did just that as she let her blouse slide off her arms and down to the ground, "Now your pants." Maxine could see clear as day how nervous Miyuki, she could probably see how red her face must be if she stood next to her.

She unbuttoned her jeans then turned her back to Maxine as she bent down to take them off, she could feel Maxine's eyes tracing every curve on her body and in a weird way it was exciting for her because Miyuki has never once done something like this.

Miyuki continued to dance for a few minutes till Maxine finally stood up, she began to walk over to Miyuki whose back was still turned to her.

Miyuki felt Maxine's hands slowly slide towards her, wrapping her arms around her, "Didn' think you'd actually do it." Maxine caressed Miyuki's face, she could feel how hot her skin was, "Holy shit," She giggled, "You were more nervous than I thought."

"I've never stripped tease."

Maxine lowered her head and began to kiss the back of Miyuki's neck, making her way towards her collar bone, "We've had sex before."

"Yeah…" She moaned softly, "But never a strip tease."

"Well ya did well, ya turned me on big time." Maxine's hands began to roam all over Miyuki's body, her breathing growing heavier.

She lead Miyuki towards their bed and lowered her on it, then climbed on top of her blue haired beauty.

"Now its my turn sweetheart." She pressed her lips on Miyuki's, engaging in a passion filled kiss, and made love till the sun came up.

"Come on girls, we don' wanna be late for it." Maxine called down from the main floor, seeing Esmeralda come out with a few containers with Chikaru following behind her.

Shizuma walked downstairs with Allison following behind her, "Come on Miyuki." Shizuma called to her, and she quickly came down the stairs.

"Whose car we takin?" Esmeralda asked.

"We're takin your truck." Maxine replied.

They got everything loaded and drove on, following Maxine's directions to the spot she loved to be in and the spot where she first made love to Miyuki. They drove for a while till they finally made it to the parking lot but they drove the truck over it and towards the sands and behind a few rocks, they kept on driving till they finally made it.

They all stepped out and set everything up, the blanket they would all be sitting on, to the grill they would be using and setting up an ice chest with their drinks next to it and a small radio.

"Dude… this is an amazing view!" Esmeralda looked out ahead, "Yeah it is, you have a perfect view of the sunset." Shizuma followed up.

"It really is beautiful out here," Chikaru followed their gaze.

["Leave it to my sister to pick out a good spot to have fun."] Allison reached for Chikaru's hand.

Maxine reached into her pocket and pulled something out and sat behind Miyuki, "Hold still sweetheart."

"What?" she began to feel something being tied around her neck and Maxine fiddled with it for a moment then finally let go, "What is it?" She reached for it and lifted the small chain, and attached to it was a key, "A key?"

"Yea, I want ya to have it."

"What's it for?" Miyuki asked.

"Is it the key to your heart?" Esmeralda chimed in, getting a laugh from Maxine.

"Mera dat's so lame," She laughed receiving a few giggles from her friends as well, even Esmeralda, "I'm not dat cliché," she smiled then returned her gaze, "It's actually the key to my uncles bike, my dad gave it to me after I got my own bike and it's a reminder of my time with him… the bike doesn't work anymore but I plan on fixing it, but I want you to have this key."

"Max, I can't take this."

"I want you to have it sweetheart," Maxine wrapped her arms around Miyuki, she felt Miyuki lean back on her as they watched the sunset.

"Oye Shizuma," Esmeralda kneeled in front of her, "Try it." She held the container filled with chicken.

"What is it?"

"Chicken, with sauce I made on my own." Shizuma was hesitant for a moment considering what's happened when she did try her food in the past; she looked at Miyuki who gave her a look that said 'just do it'.

Esmeralda noticed this, her expression saddened, "sabes que, it's okay…" She was clearly crushed and stood up to put it away but Shizuma quickly grabbed her hand.

"No wait, I'd love to try it."

Esmeralda knelt down once again and extended the container, and Shizuma reached for a piece and took a bite.

She waited with anticipation for Shizuma's answer when she looked at her and said, "Mera, this is delicious!"

"Really?!" her face lit up.

"Yeah, it's really good!"

"Hey I wanna try some," Maxine reached for one and tried it, "No kiddin this is really good!" Miyuki tried some as well.

"Mera you finally did it, this is amazing!"

Chikaru tried it next and so did Allison, they absolutely loved it and their only complaint was that Esmeralda didn't bring more.

"Well now we know for next time, but for now we got other food to make once that fire is ready." Shizuma said and pulled Esmeralda to her, sitting between her legs.

Allison leaned against Chikaru, "So what are we waiting for?" Chikaru asked.

"You'll see," Maxine said, "From what I read, this doesn't happen to often." And as if on cue, they all saw a big boat in the distance coming into view.

Before long they all saw a few specks of light come from the ship and towards the sky before exploding into a colorful explosion, followed by more going into the sky. The fireworks lit up the sky and they seemed to go on forever as the girls all watched and enjoyed the spectacle in front of them.

"Hey Miyuki."

"Yes Max?"

"You know you mean da world to me right?"

Miyuki smiled and turned her head to face her, "As you do to me."

"I love you Miyuki."

"I love you… Maxine." They kissed once more.

"Well come on then, lets get this started." Esmeralda turned on the radio and prepared the food they would be making but not before setting her violin next to her to play for her friends later.

All the girls circled around the campfire to help out with the food and to have fun as the night rolled on, they wanted to spend as much time as they could with their friends for Miyuki and Maxine's honeymoon would be around the corner and would not see them for a while, then afterwards, they would spend the rest of their lives together, with their friends and family by their side and they wouldn't have it any other way. As for Miyuki, she had found the love of her life, one that she chose to live her life with and for Maxine, she too had found the perfect girl that completed her heart and made her feel truly happy.
