Chapter 601 Officially mine
The priest was extremely hesitant to make a move. There was an obvious doubtful look plastered all over his face but when he turned to look at the bride and saw the apparent excitement, pure happiness and unbridled eagerness that were overflowing from her expressive eyes, the priest could not help but heave a big sigh. He could only do what was due to him. "Are you absolutely certain about this, Miss Young? I –"
"Very. Very, utterly, completely certain, sir." Kelly's immediate response with all the superlatives almost made the priest laugh out aloud right on the spot and with that last doubt dispelled, he finally relented.
As the ceremony started, Kelly's heart was thumping so loudly in her chest. She couldn't deny that she was somewhat agitated and restless. She was nervous that her father's voice would suddenly crash through this dream-come-true for her with a bang and ruin both their magical moment. However, as she looked at Kai, Kelly's heart just began to feel like somehow and someway, everything was going to be all right in the end. It was amazing how he could calm her so easily, without doing anything or saying a single word to ease her troubled heart and mind.
But despite the calmness Kai had inspired in her, Kelly couldn't stop herself from making little hand gestures in urging the priest to hasten the proceedings. Her request made the priest blink while Kai leaned in on her slightly with a smile and whispered, "Relax, my bride."
"But I can't help it. I… I…"
"Can no longer wait?"
"Yes. I can't wait anymore."
The priest cleared his throat, while sporting a slight blush, looking as though he was trying to stop himself from smiling. The couple didn't notice it because their eyes were locked onto each other, but they missed how the priest had thrown a furtive glance at Kelly's father. Knowing what kind of situation this couple before him was in at that moment, the priest finally nodded and gave in. He could see the remarkable love in both the bride and groom's eyes, and he didn't wish for anyone to ruin their holy union.
And thus, to everyone's surprise, including the bride and groom, the priest went on in haste, as requested, and in what seemed to be just a few moments, it was already time for them to recite their wedding vows.
"Kelly Young, do you take Skyler Qinn to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do!" Kelly exclaimed with a wide and emotional smile.
"Skyler Qinn, do you take Kelly Young to be your lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Kai replied immediately as he gazed deeply into Kelly's eyes.
"With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Skyler, you may now kiss –"
The priest was not even given the chance to even finish his sentence because the bride had surprisingly made her move in advance and kissed the groom. The audience's eyes widened, including the priest, but after a second, they all cheered happily for the newlyweds. Some of the older guests were chuckling amongst themselves and shaking their heads as they witnessed the enthusiasm of the new wife.
Everyone was in awe. They had just witnessed a real shotgun wedding and they all thought it was utterly exciting. Every single one of the guests were convinced and had the same thoughts that this wedding would probably go down in history, as the most unforgettable wedding of the century from all that they have witnessed earlier.
"Kai… Oh god, I can't believe you're my husband now." Kelly said when their lips parted. The world around them had become a blur and they could no longer hear anything but each other's voice.
"Yes. You're my wife now, Kelly." Kai uttered and this time, he was the one who kissed her. They kissed for a long time that they were breathless when their lips parted.
"My wife… princess or piggy?" he asked playfully and Kelly's eyes glimmered as she laughed and slapped him playfully on his arm, remembering that time when he asked her this before.
"What do you think I'll choose, huh? Hubby?"
Without answering, Kai lifted his wife princess style and stepped down from the stage. Kelly caught her mom and she nearly burst into tears when she saw her radiant smiling face. She never thought that her mother would actually looked pleased and smiling as though she was happy for her. Kelly even blink as if to confirm if what she saw was real.
When her mother nodded at her Kelly smiled. She was so happy that her mother seemed to finally approved of her choice. Kelly dragged her gaze towards her father and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Standing majestically next to her father was Abi and Alexander. It was pretty obvious that Alexander was there to stop her father from doing anything – stupid and unwanted, that is. And she couldn't help but feel her heart being overwhelmed and overflowing with emotions.
"Oh my god!" Kelly could no longer stop her tears of joy and a few teardrops fall from her eyes. "Thank you," Kelly uttered under her breath and Abi winked at her as though she had heard her. She even gestured a good luck sign towards her before Kai finally whisked her swiftly out of the church building.
A helicopter was already idling outside the church, waiting for them.
"Did Abi and Alexander come with you?" Kelly asked as they approached the helicopter.
"Yes. They tagged along."
"Damn. You're so…" she trailed off, unable to speak anymore because of all the emotions and adrenaline so she just hugged him tight.
Kai kissed her head and proceeded to climb into the helicopter before helping Kelly in after him. Like a koala, Kelly clung tightly onto Kai as the helicopter ascended.
Lifting her face to face him, Kai wiped the remnants of her tears that was still decorating her cheek. "You're my wife now, Kelly. You're officially mine now." It came out as a small possessive growl that did things to her insides. His eyes glimmered with overflowing emotions.
"I have always been yours, Kai. I love you. Thank you for saving me. I love you. My husband. I will love you forever." As soon as she said those words, her lips met his passionately and devoured Kai's mouth. Her wild mouth nearly kicked Kai's sanity out of the window. Thankfully, Kai managed to stopped her.
"Please wait a little longer until we land, my dear wife. I'm afraid, our pilot will end up crashing this helicopter if we…" he trailed off as Kelly bit her lip, flushing red at the realization that someone else was also with them, witnessing that little hot scene earlier.
"Where are we going?" she asked, trying to distract herself from jumping him – again.
"Taking you on a honeymoon." He replied as he flashed her a seductive grin, yet again causing her brain to overheat and malfunction.
