Chapter 27 - You Are The Only One For Me

 

[A few weeks later]

 

Somewhere in San Francisco…

 

A familiar couple was in front of a fancy house, hesitating if they should ring the bell or not. Jesse stole a glance of his fiancée and saw her apprehensive semblance or because she was holding his hand really tight. Trying to make her relax a little, he let a chuckle escape from his lips while shaking his head:

 

“It’s funny.”

 

“What is funny?” Tiffany broke her train of thoughts to look to her Jessie in curiosity. It was when he smiled at her and admitted:

 

“I am about to meet my fiancé’s father to ask your hand in marriage and still, you look more worried than me. I am the one who really should be nervous here, Fany.”

 

She couldn’t help but giggles at his quote. She knew that he was trying to lift her mood a little, but the fear was too strong. As if he read her thoughts, he squeezed her hand to get her attention, which it worked, as he looked deeply in her eyes and spoke into a comforting tone:

 

“Hey, don’t forget. We are in this together.”

 

Finally, Tiffany let her worries escape as she creased her eyebrows and confessed hopelessly with a tired sigh:

 

“It has been five years, Jessie. What if he doesn’t approve us? What if he doesn’t like you?”

 

Jesse took a deep breath and brushed her hair affectionately. He whispered into a calm, yet confident voice:

 

“Honey, we don’t know that yet. I will do whatever it takes to have his blessings, but I want to do this on the right way. If he doesn’t like me, I will make him fall in love with me like I did with his daughter… Hmm, just ignore the last part.”

 

Tiffany cracked and finally, her eye smile shows up as he continued seriously:

 

“But know this; I worked too hard to be with you. I am not going anywhere and I even have a ring to prove that.”

 

He said while pointing to the engagement ring on her hand with a smile in his face and couldn’t help, to plant a kiss above it to confirm his intentions. Tiffany felt her heart melt at this moment. Now she wants get married to Jessie even more. He held her arms gently and finished into a joking tone:

 

“Yet, if everything goes wrong, we can always run away and get married in somewhere in Hawaii.”

 

“I like that plan! Can we go to Hawaii now?”

 

“Stephanie Hwang soon to be Jung, no… Although I am really tempted to…”

 

It was when they laughed heartily and finally, the air was lighter between them. Tiffany felt more confident when she looked to Jesse and he nodded his head in agreement. She ringed the bell at last. Afterwards, the door was opened and a figure quickly jumped on Tiffany’s neck:

 

“My baby sis! Awwwww! I missed you!”

 

“Michelle! I missed you too, but I can’t breathe!”

 

“Oh, sorry for that!”

 

“Oh come on, I missed you too.” Tiffany said into an emotional tone while pulling her big sister for a tight hug. Jesse couldn’t help to laugh at the Hwang sisters odd, yet warming reunion. His laughter didn’t pass unnoticed as the older one widened her eyes while asking into a hyper tone:

 

“Is he THE ONE?! Tiffany, he is hunk!”

 

“Michelle!” A blushing Tiffany yelled into a disapproving tone while Jesse widened his eyes. Her older sister laughed and giving Jesse a handshake:

 

“I am Michelle, Tiffany’s big sister. Nice to finally meet you.”

 

“I am Jung Jesse, pleased to meet you too.”

 

It was when Michelle keeps holding his hand and added into a happy tone:

 

“In the name of the Hwang Family, thank you for putting some sense in my baby sister’s head and for sticking with her. I know she can be handful sometimes, but I love her and I would hate someone breaking her heart. So be warned! Just joking … or maybe not.”

 

Jesse felt worried with her declaration, but he simply smiled and answered sincerely:

 

“To be honest, she always was this kind and warm girl, I just have to give a small push to show her that it was always there. And now, I intend to keep her forever.”

 

“Awww, Tiff. He is a keeper. Marry him soon or I’ll get him for me, okay?”

 

A timid, yet smiling Tiffany felt her heart double the pace when Jesse spoke those words to her while giving her and endearing stare. It was when she answered into a confident tone while showing her ring:

 

“That’s my plan! Sorry, sis. But I don’t share my Jessie with anyone *chuckles*.”

 

“Oh my God, Tiffany! It’s so beautiful! Congratulations!”

 

Her sister was beaming with the sight of the ring and congratulated the couple, hugging both of them. It was a good scene, until they reminded the reason they were here. Recomposing themselves, Tiffany took a deep breath and asked:

 

“Is he here?”

 

“Yeah. He is waiting both of you at his office.”

 

“Okay. Thanks. Oh, and what about Leo? Is he coming? I missed him too.”

 

“Oh, don’t worry. He just got some errands to do, but he will be home for dinner.”

 

“Okay… Here we go. Shall we, Jessie?”

 

Tiffany asked into a nervous tone as Jesse quickly reached her hand for a comforting squeeze. They stared at each other tenderly and nodded their heads as they walked to the Hwang’s office. Meanwhile, Michele looked at them with worry as she clasped her hands together:

 

“Please, dad. Hear them out.”

 

***

 

Once the couple was before a sturdy door, Tiffany was about to knock, yet she hesitated. That moment, she looked at her Jessie and the latter nodded to her in agreement.  They held hands and the singer finally knocked the door, followed by a resounding, yet calm voice:

 

“Come in.”

 

Taking a deep breath, they opened the door at last to see an imposing figure sat at the office’s desk. However, Mr. Hwang raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw his daughter, he couldn’t help to feel a little emotional, but decided remain his composure. She looked so mature due her features; it’s been a long time after all:

 

“Miyoung.”

 

“Hi… Dad.”

 

“And you must be Jesse, right?” Mr. Hwang spoke into a neutral tone while he adjusted his glasses. Afterwards, the songwriter nodded his head and offered his hand for a handshake:

 

“Yes, sir. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

 

“Hmm a firm grip.” Mr. Hwang nodded his head in agreement with Jesse’s confidence. He decided to get an inviting approach as he gestured with his hands:

 

“Please, sit down.”

 

The couple obeyed as they sat beside each other, still holding hands. This action didn’t pass unnoticed to his eyes. Although, Tiffany’s father felt his heart sway when he saw his daughter, he had to keep serious and focused. Clearing his throat, he removed his glasses and asked earnestly:

 

“So… Mr. Jung, I will be brief. I have three questions for you. What do you do for living? What are your intentions with my daughter? And your plans for the future?”

 

“I am a songwriter, sir. I work for a few music studios in Seoul and after working hard, I manage to stabilize my condition. And about Tiffany, well, that’s easy…”

 

Jesse said affectionately as he stared at her for a moment and recomposed himself before he got carried away:

 

“As you know, sir. Your daughter is very talented and because of that, she managed to get recognition for her hard work. Although our incomes are very different, I want to be able to provide everything she needs and build a family with her. And that’s why I’m here today. Because I would like to have your permission to ask her hand, sir.”

 

“Hmm. I understand, but it seems that you didn’t need it after all. I don’t see the point of this conversation.”

 

Mr. Hwang said with his eyebrow raised while pointing to the engagement ring on Tiffany’s hand. Jesse gulped and nodded his head as he explained:

 

“You are right, sir. I know I anticipated myself and already asked her hand. But from where I came from, a father or a mother’s words means a lot. And I told Tiffany that I wanted to do this on right away.”

 

That was when Mr. Hwang decided to test Jesse, he already was impressed with the young’s man actions, yet he decided to take this to another level. He was tired to see his daughter depressed for another playboy that used her for their own benefit and throw her away when they got their fame. He assumed a rigid stance, crossed his arms and spoke into a firm tone:

 

“I see. But as you said before, you and Miyoung’s income are very different. Are you really different from her past boyfriends? All of them promised eternal love, yet as soon they got what they wanted, they got rid of her and still, she clearly didn’t learn her lesson. Why would it be different with you?! How will I know that you aren’t after her because of her fame!?”

 

“Father!” An outraged Tiffany stood up in a flash with fire in her eyes. She wouldn’t let no one talk about her Jessie, not even her father:

 

“Miyoung, stay out of thi---“ He tried to cut her, but he was surprised when she shook her head and spoke into an unwavering tone:

 

“No, father. Now you will listen to me! I didn’t want to be here! Do you know who convinced me to go back to here, in States? It was Jesse! Do you know who gave me strength to make up with you and forgive the past? It was him! I was ready to build a life with the person that I love, but Jessie showed to me that if we really wanted to build a new family, we should let you participate.”

 

As she recalled all her moments together with Jessie, she felt her heart easing as she continued into a serious voice:

 

“Father, he was the first one that was really there for me, to tell that my actions were wrong and I will always be grateful for that. I love him and he is the one that I want have a family. And you and no one will going to change that.”

 

Her father was agape, he never saw his daughter so fierce about a subject, even more with her romantic life which was always a big mess. She changed to girl for a woman before his eyes and he couldn’t be more proud. Within all this commotion, Jesse couldn’t help to admit that he was offended by Mr. Hwang’s commentary at first, but deep inside he knows that the man just wanted his daughter’s safety. Yet, he didn’t manage to defend himself as his fiancé jumped in to rescue. Jesse couldn’t help, but feel his heart soaring loudly in proud when he saw her in such a resolute form.

 

After a short moment of silence in the room, Tiffany slowly sat down while looking to her beloved. Jessie’s eyes shone in love as he was truly happy with her declaration and reached her hand for a warm squeeze. The songwriter took a deep breath and leaned forward to prove his point:

 

“Mr. Hwang, everything your daughter just said is true. Yet, she did that by herself and showed to me that she was different from those shallow celebrities. When I realized, I simply couldn’t imagine my life without her. We pass through so many hardships to stay together and now that I have her, I don’t want to let it go ever again. I know that we will have our differences, but at the end of the day, she is the one that I want to be. So I will ask this one more time… Can you, sir, please give your blessings?”

 

The older man was touched; he never saw such confident, yet humble petition. From the way his daughter surprised him with her speech, he knew that she changed and a lot. Finally, he chuckles making the couple look at each other quizzically as he confessed:

 

“You looked just like your mother right now, Miyoung. She would be very proud of the woman that you turned to.”

 

“Father…”

 

The songstress felt emotional as her eyes started to get moistened. Eventually, her father smiled in confidence as he stood up from the desk and walked to his daughter. They stared to each other with tear in their eyes as they finally pulled each other for a tight hug. Jesse could only smile in relief at the beautiful view. Nonetheless, out of nowhere he was pulled by the strong man to join into the emotional hug.

 

Once they withdrew, the trio was laughing heartily as Mr. Hwang gave a firm pat on Jesse’s back (almost knocking off in the process) and boomed:

“Welcome to the family, my boy. You two got it. You have my blessings.”

 

“Thank you, Mr. Hwang! I am really grateful.”

 

Jesse said while bowing his head in respect, but the man pulled him for a tight hug and prospered:

 

“Mr. Hwang?! You are family now. Call me appa, understood?! Now, come. We have a dinner and both of you need to fill me with the whole story. Oh, and I am sorry for my words earlier, but I needed to know that you were serious about Miyoung…”

 

Meanwhile, Tiffany dumbly smiled at the scene. Her father and her fiancée finally getting along. It was like a dream coming true. She sighed in content until she heard her name. She got out from her reverie and realized that her fiancée was with hand extended to her and smiling fondly:

 

“See? I told you that everything would be all right.”

 

“Thanks for being here, Jessie.”

 

She accepted his hand and he didn’t waste this chance as he swiftly pulled her to his body and whispered lovingly with their faces really close:

 

“I’m not going anywhere. You are mine, remember?”

 

“You got that right.”

 

Unable to resist him, Tiffany pulled him for a deep kiss as they exchanged warm smiles. Finally a weight was lift from their hearts. Now, they only need to focus in their wedding day.

 

***

 

[Six months later]

 

Two days before the wedding, inside of a beautiful church, a restless fiancée was giving the orders to the crew to make everything goes perfect:

“No! Those flowers need to be on the right, not the left! Hey, you! These ornaments must be close to the altar. Oh God. Why is this has to be so difficult?”

 

The songstress mumbled to one in particular into a tired tone. However, little did she know that a familiar figure approached stealthy with a mischievous grin. Before she could imagine, the person hugged her from behind and made her turn around rapidly. Tiffany, who was jolted in surprise, widened her eyes and sputtered angrily with the stranger’s cheekiness:

 

“Hey. How dare y-?! Hmm…”

 

Yet, it was too late. The not so stranger pulled her for a deep kiss and made her knees goes weak. Only one person has this power and she knows very well. With a smitten smile adorning her face, she wrapped her arms around him and whispered once they parted the kiss:

 

“Jessie!”

 

“Hey, love.”

 

Jesse was with his arms firmly wrapped around her waist as he stared at her lovingly. And there, it was like all her worry simply vanished away with his presence. Not resisting, Tiffany pecked his lips sweetly and asked in confusion:

“What are you doing here? Not that I didn’t like it. As a matter of fact, I loved your visit. But I wanted to know why.”

 

“Hmm two reasons. One, because I wanted to see my fiancée and two, because I kinda got a call for someone telling me that you were kinda freaking out with all the arrangements.”

 

“What?! Who- I did not!”

 

The songwriter raised his eyebrow to her as she couldn’t help but drop her shoulders in defeat and admit:

 

“Okay, okay. I know I kinda… overreacted, but it’s just that I want everything perfect on our special day. Don’t you feel the same?”

 

She inquired, thinking that she might be the only one making this work, which she knows that deep inside was not true. Seeing her begging eyes, Jesse brushed her hair affectionately and sighed:

 

“Honey, of course I do. I know that you dreamed with this day and so do I. But for me, the most important thing that you are going to be my wife and we will start a new life together.”

 

“Aww Jessie, you are such a softie. Seeing you talking like this, almost its making me drop everything and marry you right now.”

 

“It’s not a bad idea though…”

 

He chuckles cheekily as she burrows her face on his chest in comfort, sighing in relief. He returned the action as he embraced her with all his care and kissed the crown of her head. They were simply enjoying their moment in their small world until a pale and visible shaken member of the crew approached with a clipboard and stammered nervously:

 

“Mi-Miss Hwang… I – I afraid I have b-bad news.”

 

“What? Oh, okay. What is it?”

 

A distracted Tiffany asked absentmindedly still in her fiancé’s arms. The worker gulped hard and finally dropped the bomb:

 

“We have a prob-problem with the reservation. I-it was ca-ca-cance-celed…”

 

“WHAT?!” An outraged Tiffany prompted and pressed on with her voice escalating in anger:

 

“That’s why I hired all of you! I planned this moment for months for not having room for mistakes! And now you tell me that everything was ruined?!”

 

“Miss Hwang—“

 

“I don’t how this is even possible! Canceled for what reason?! What happened?! Is the president’s daughter or someone else is going to marry here just in case?!”

 

“Actually, this is what re-really happened. We got a call from the president’s assessor j-just now.”

 

“What?!”

 

A flabbergasted Tiffany could only whisper in shock. Once she came back from her senses, she repeated into very angry tone:

 

“WHAT?!”

 

“I am really sorry, Miss Hwang. But we didn’t know what to do since is the president’s daughter wedding after all. This is all my fault.”

 

The worker was almost tearing up since it could bring a good idea to solve the problem or maybe because he didn’t want to feel the K-Pop princess’s wrath. Meanwhile, a very worried Jesse could only glance his fiancée, thinking in every worst scenario. She really was dedicated to make everything perfect for their big step.

 

Nonetheless, something unexpected happened, the song buried her face in her hands and took a deep breath as she sighed with a crestfallen semblance:

 

“I-It was not your fault, Ahn. It is no one’s fault. It-Its just that I – I always dreamed with this moment and now… I felt like everything I worked so hard is fading away before my eyes.”

 

The songwriter was aghast with her reaction, well, maybe not too much. If this happened a few years ago, he knew that she would explode in anger. However, this isn’t fair with his fiancé. He saw her change of heart day by day and couldn’t be more proud of the person she turned to. Actually, he recalled of how he fell hard for her once he saw trough her spoiled façade and knew that behind all these “celebrity acting”, there was a heart of gold.

 

He frowned sadly since this happening getting in the way of their perfect day. Not holding himself, he wrapped his left arm around her shoulder and caressed into comforting way. She sniffed weakly and placed her hand above his, silently thanking his concern. It was when she raised her head and directed her puffy and red eyes to her dear fiancée. Then, she whispered into a defeated tone:

 

“I just wanted that everything was perfect for us…”

 

“Honey…”

 

It was everything he could mutter as he cupped her face lovingly. Tiffany smiled sadly at his caresses and brought herself inside to his arms, looking for some console. A troubled Jesse rubbed her back affectionately as he apprehensively stared at his fiancée’s assistant, who also felt depressed. Jesse could only kiss the crown of her head as she spoke into a muffled tone with her face against his chest:

 

“Now, what are we going to do? The wedding will be in two days and all the possible places already are booked…”

 

After much anxiety, the songwriter felt like he was stricken by a bolt when a perfect idea crossed his mind. He gasped and smiled like a dumb of why he didn’t think of that before. It would make everything much more meaningful. He quickly pushed himself away a little from her embrace and felt the smile growing in his face, turning into a laughter. Although Tiffany didn’t know what passed through his mind, his smile was contagious and the songstress found herself smiling as well. Unable to hold her curiosity, she asked into a light tone thinking that her fiancé was crazy or if he really had a good idea:

 

“Jessie, why are you smiling that much?!”

 

He tried to contain his laughter, but failed miserably when he stared her inquisitive, yet adorable eyes. He placed his both hands, each one on her shoulders and finally revealed his plan:

 

“Honey, does the Jeonju’s beach needs a reservation for a wedding day?”

 

“Jessie, wha--?!”

 

Once it finally clicked, a megawatt smile risen from her lips as her heart felt much more lighter. Nevertheless, she felt a warm feeling spreading all over her body once she realized the true meaning of Jesse’s suggestions. Tiffany felt tears building in her eyes as she gulped deeply and wrapped her arms around her fiancée, feeling completely emotional:

 

“The place where everything started…”

 

In return, he wrapped his arms around her waist tenderly, pulling her close to his body and looking lovingly into her eyes. Jesse whispered close to her lips:

 

“Yes. That place held very meaningful memories. It was when I started to know the real you and completely fell hopelessly for this singer before my eyes.”

 

“Jessie… You remembered…”

 

A sniffing Tiffany felt touched with his words as she gently caressed his left cheek. He held her hand and closed his eyes to kiss her palm lovingly. Once he opened his eyes, he came closer to her waiting lips and confessed breathlessly:

 

“I remember everything about you, of us. Besides, you are not the only one who really is looking forward for this wedding. I just can’t imagine my life… without you.”

 

With such powerfully and tender confession, a completely smitten Tiffany could only return his loving words with a deep, yet passionate kiss. The assistant grinned in relief and withdrew himself to give the couple a private moment.

 

***

 

The wedding day at the beach was beautiful as you can imagine it. Although they only have two days for the arrangements, the couple created a “task force” with their friends and everything ended well. They kept simple, but now everything was much more meaningful for JeTi.

 

As the ceremony passed by, the lovebirds kept their hands intertwined all the time as they couldn’t take the eyes from each other. The bride Tiffany was radiant and looked gorgeous in her sleeveless wedding dress. She couldn’t stop sending her megawatt smile towards her dear Jessie which was drop dead gorgeous on his black tux. The latter could only return the affection with a love struck grin in his face, not believing that this finally was happening.

 

Once the pastor finally declared that now they were only one flesh, husband and wife, Tiffany didn’t think twice as she pulled her hubby by his collar for a voluptuous and consuming kiss. The guests laughed at their cute, yet intense moment. But if you think that Jesse would stay passive, you got all wrong. After he recovered himself from the “impact”, he pulled her swiftly, yet caringly close to his body, making her jump in surprise and break the kiss briefly.

 

“Wow, Jessie~~~”

 

He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows into an inviting way, as he whispered dangerously close to her lips:

 

“Its my turn now, love”.

 

With that, he silenced her with a passionate kiss that took all her breath away, not that she would mind it. She enjoyed to see a more a dominating Jessie in her life. Nonetheless, the couple held each other exchanging love confessions and smiles, glowing in happiness that their moment finally has come.

 

“I love you, Tiff.”

 

“I love you too, Jessie.

 

***

 

Albeit, they didn’t get married as they planned inside the church, the ceremony on the beach where the “We got Married” tv show started made all the difference, except now it was for real. As a proper apology for “ruining” their wedding plan, the president herself insisted that her assessors could arrange everything for the best for the newlyweds. That includes to make a reservation in a desert, yet beautiful island just for them. Well, they wouldn’t turn down such an incredible wedding gift.

 

The newlyweds decided to take a rest after a tiring, yet meaningful ceremony. Tiffany and Jesse finally could wake up on each other’s arms as they longed for a quite some time. Not wasting a second, they decided to take a special day in the island’s village. To visit beautiful scenarios, feed each other and take a romantic stroll on the beach.

 

As the sun was setting down, they were happily chatting with each other with their hands firmly intertwined, yet only one thought crossed their minds…

 

Tiffany has to admit that she was really, REALLY patient with Jesse all this time when the only thing that she had in mind was to jump on him and… well, you got the idea. Yet, she could definitely tell that he looked tense and nervous, although he tried his best to not show it. This isn’t normal. This is the night that both of them were waiting for and deep inside, she knew that her Jessie’s was just anxious as her. So, what was stopping them?

 

Once they returned to the beach house, the singer decided to settle this once for all before the chance could slip away from her grasp. Meanwhile, they reluctantly unclasped their hands as Tiffany went to the room and Jesse, to the bathroom. Just a few moments later and after some preparations, Tiffany called his name softly:

 

“Jessie?”

 

“Yes, love?”

 

“Could you come here for a moment?”

 

“Of course. What do-do y-yo –“

 

His words died on his lips at the moment he took a good look on his wife. Jess was agape and gulped hard, already feeling his throat dry and a heart attack with such exuberance. Tiffany was wearing a VERY y black nightgown as she looked at him invitingly. He knew that this was coming and now, he was against the wall, literally.

 

“How can she more gorgeous? What did she see in someone like me? Do I really deserve her?” A doubtful Jesse painfully asked to himself.

 

Nevertheless, the y predator that he used to know a few years ago wasn’t there anymore; just his dear wife looking at him with love, admiration and understanding. Instead of an “aggressive approach”, Tiffany slowly stood up from the bed and walked to his direction. Afterwards, she led a mouth hanged open Jesse to their bed while holding his hand caringly all the time.

 

She was trying her best to comfort him, yet deep inside her it was a huge turmoil. She couldn’t help to feel afraid that he wouldn’t want her or have any interest of her anymore. But Tiffany couldn’t let this thought fill her mind. It was when she took a deep breath, enveloped his hand with hers and looked deeply into his eyes:

 

“Jessie, there is something that I want to tell you.”

 

“*Sigh* To be honest, Fany, I have something tell you as well, but I don’t know how…”

 

“Yes, honey?”

 

Jesse shook his head and looked down, feeling embarrassed. He tried to mouth the words, but he failed every time.  Only when Tiffany squeezed his hands, he took courage to look up and start very slowly, ashamed about what he was going to say:

 

“I never told you that before. I wasn’t the kind of guy very popular among women. I had only one girlfriend before you, but we parted our ways since we realized we weren’t meant to be. I had just small dates back then. The point is that, I didn’t imagine my life with them as I did with you and no one was able to touch me as you did. So, what I – I am trying to say is that…”

 

“You never made love before, right?”

 

Tiffany finished his line with her voice and eyes full of comprehension. She creased her eyebrows sadly when she saw her husband dropping his head in defeat as he admitted into an anguished tone:

 

“There. Now you probably think that I am a loser and see that maybe your Jessie isn’t that great.”

 

“Jessie, look at me.”

 

A confident Tiffany tenderly raised his chin with her hand to take a good look into his hurt eyes. It pains her to think that he would beat himself that hard. Before he could continue, she whispered softly, yet into an assuring tone:

 

“My love, there is nothing in this world that would make me think less of you. That’s why I love you so much, because you are different. You decided to wait for someone really especial to you while a good part of the guys I knew only wanted my body and they didn’t even try to hide that. You saw right trough me, you cared about me, you loved me…”

 

The songwriter couldn’t help to feel a sudden warmth flood his heart and spread all over his body. Tiffany confessed so fervently that he felt ashamed for not believing her in first place. However, it was the songstress that felt the situation’s severity and now, she couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart followed by a huge guilt in her mind:

 

“Yet, as I said before, I – I already have another relationships and I was very immature to understand love. If only I knew that I would meet you someday, I - I would certainly have waited for you and make this a really special moment.”

 

“Oh, Fany…” Jesse couldn’t hold himself as he hugged her caringly when he heard her voice faltering. He withdrew from the hug and confessed, already falling love even more with the woman before him:

 

“Fany, you don’t need to blame yourself. This is past now. Nothing would change what I feel for you. You are here with me. That’s all the matters.”

 

She already was tearing up when he started to caress her cheek lovingly. She couldn’t feel luckier for marrying with the love of her life. Now that both of them finally were feeling much more confident, Tiffany held his left cheek fondly and started while placing her forehead on his:

 

“For one thing I am sure... I will be your first and the only one.”

 

With their declaration, all the doubts and anxiety simply vanished in their hearts. They were in perfect harmony. They only exchanged smitten smiles as Tiffany whispered passionately into his ear and wrapping her arms around his neck:

 

“Now, show me the passionate Jessie that I fell over heels so hopelessly.”

 

“He was always here, my love.”

 

Needless to say that afterwards, the couple finally let their lips touch each other. Although, Jesse was feeling all fired up and got all motivation he needed, he decided that he wanted to take things slowly and show his appreciation for his wife. He didn’t want to rush up things like an animal or a teenager; he wanted to make this moment unforgettable for both of them.

 

Tiffany felt herself shivering in delight with his touches. Her heartbeat was like a drum when Jesse kissed her passionately, leaving a kiss trail on her lips, chin, neck and shoulder as he slowly tugged down her nightgown’s strap of her left shoulder. She felt on the cloud nine when she could feel his passion, yet care of how he handled with her. She happily responded while pulling his face, looking for his lips thirstily and blindly for a deep kiss.

 

Her hands traveled inside his shirt as she caressed his toned abs teasingly. Not holding herself, she already was making her way to his shirt and removed it abruptly. Her nails scratched his possessively while he returned her intense gesture while her neck and planting a lovingly mark on her skin.

 

Soon, clothes were scattered everywhere as two bodies were firmly pressed on each other. The feeling of having their bare and warm body so close was like nothing that they ever experienced before.

 

Tiffany felt her heart race and rolled her eyes in all pleasure she was receiving. Only her dear Jessie could make her feel so much loved and special. To know that he was the one who was taking her, making love with her was something indescribable. Her legs wrapped around his waist possessively as she pulled him for another round of fiery kisses.

 

Jess couldn’t believe that this was really happening. It was like a dream coming true. His back were covered by scratches and he couldn’t feel happier, knowing that his wife was only “marking her territory”. However, he was astounded when Tiffany returned his action with the same fire as they let their bodies finally intertwine as they reached their .

 

He smiled lovingly when he saw her with her eyes closed, with sweat on her forehead and a big smile adorning her face. He took his time as he brushed her drenched bang to the side and caressed her face adoringly. Jess planted a sweet kiss on each eyelid as a breathless Tiffany felt herself exploding with such happiness. However, thinking that she needed time to recompose herself, he was about to change his position above her when she was quicker and in return, wrapped her arms around his neck, asking into a soft tone:

 

“Please, don’t leave yet. Let’s just stay like this. I want to feel you close to me.” 

 

An enamored Jesse could only nod response as he gently kissed her lips with a dope smile on his face and she brushed his hair caringly. They remained like this for a while and didn’t take too much as they felt their energy recharged, ready to continue with more four or five rounds of love.

 

The night passed in a blink of an eye as the couple fell asleep on each other’s arms. The sun was starting to rise slowly as the timid light appears in their room. Tiffany was with her head on his rigid chest as Jesse wrapped his left around her into a protective way, caressing her forearm lovingly.

 

Incredibly, he was the first one to wake up and felt his heart jump inside his chest with the view of his beloved wife: her messy hair, love marks all over on upper parts, her lips parted and swollen, yet a small smile on her face, she couldn’t be more beautiful into his eyes. He held closer and whispered drunk in love:

 

“I can’t believe that you are actually mine…”

 

Little did he know that his wife heard the passionate words. Once she finally opened her eyes, they exchanged love stares. Jesse sighed in content and when he was ready to confess, Tiffany was faster as she whispered breathlessly:

“I love you.”

 

Although he heard these three words for some time, it never lost its power. On contrary, this sentence only got stronger trough time. His heart swayed again and butterflies invaded his stomach. Unable to hold his smile, he caressed her left cheek and answered tenderly:

“I love you too, Fany. More than words can say.”

She could only answer his affection while plating a sweet kiss on his swollen lips. Their bodies were glowing due their late activities, but this didn’t stop them for another loving round by the morning. Now, they were one, a family and nothing would apart them again.
