The Secret

[Narumi]

Dakota glares at her. "I don't see why he wants to marry you. He's only doing it because you're so incredibly desperate" He growls.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira froze at the top of the staircase among hearing his words and dropped her jaw. Biting her tongue, she walked into the room and sat the magazines down before going back to the door. She put both hands on it before slamming it as hard as she could, sending a crack up the middle.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary shook his head at his brother and then stood up. He began to walk upstairs and lightly knocked on the door, letting himself in. He hugs Akira from behind. "Don't be upset, he's just jealous of how beautiful you are and that he can't have the honour of marrying you. That's all" He says softly and nuzzles her.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira turned around and hugged him tightly as she laid her head on his shoulder. "The only reason I got so mad was because I was scared it was true. And I haven't thrown him out yet because I've noticed that he's the only one in your family that's been willing to help," she said softly as she kissed his cheek.

 

[Narumi]

"Your family isn't helping either" He points out with a shrug as he slowly began making his way over to their bed, sitting on the edge of it.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira sighed softly and followed him, sitting down and laying her head on his shoulder. "I know which is another reason why I don't want to kick him out. But he's being so rude and making me feel uncomfortable at times with the flirting and such," she said as she looked over at him.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary shrugs her head off of his shoulder. "I guess so" He grumbles and looks down slightly. Maybe her parents didn't like him. He just shrugs lightly again and them turns away.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira took the hint and backed away so she was sure not to touch him, despite how much it hurt. She looked down and hugged her knees close to her as she sighed. "Look they're just not ready to see me grow up. It's how they've always been. It's not you," she said quietly, her voice shaking slightly.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary nods slightly and then leans back, curling up slowly on their bed. He looks over at her and then lightly places her hand in his.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira looked down and smiled softly before giving his hand a gentle squeeze. She laid down and curled into him as she let out a slight sigh. "They'll come around," she whispered softly.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary smiles and nuzzles her. He was really glad when the day of the wedding dawned. He had already picked himself a nice suit to wear, and was very excited.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira was so excited when the wedding day came. Her family finally came around and her dad held her arm gently. She finally began walking and and couldn't help the wide smile on her face.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary waited at the top of the aisle patiently as he waited for Akira. He stood there quiety, so far he hadn't spoken to her family at all.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira looked kissed her dad's cheek before going up and kissing Zach's. "Please try to talk to them," she whispered softly and pulled away as she took his hands.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary shrugs lightly. He sat through the readings until they had to say their vows. "I do" He says and slips a ring onto Akira's finger.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira sniled widely as she repeated the words and slipped his ring on his finger. She took a step closer and kissed him deeply, wrapping her arms around his neck.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary kisses her back and then wraps his arms around her. He was glad when the after party had started, and they were finally married. He just stuck around with his family most of the time.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira grabbed his hand and leaned over towards him. "Can you please try to get to know my family? I have no problem trying to talk to yours so can you at least try to put in the same effort?" She asked softly as she let out a sigh and squeezed his hand, not wanting to fight on today of all days.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary just grumbles and sighs. "Fine, fine" He mumbles as he looks to her, slumping his shoulders slightly.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Please don't start acting like this," she whispered with a sigh as she looked at him pleadingly.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary shook his head and sighed. "I'm not acting like anything...." he mumbles calmly and then began to talk to a member of her family.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira opened her mouth to speak but closed it as a pang of hurt worked its way into her. She sat as she looked down and couldn't help but think that maybe Dakota had been right and maybe he was doing this because she was acting so desperate.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary had received many different presents, and had thanked the people who had bought him them. He vegan to load them into the car once the guests had left and looks to Akira.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Akira glanced at him before looking down, unable to look him in the eyes at the moment without crying. She wrapped her arms around herself as she kept her eyes averted, suddenly feeling like disappearing.

 

[Narumi]

Zachary moves over and say beside her, "You need to talk to someone. I think you're the one with major issues. You're always taking the things I say or do in a bad impression, even if you're not supposed to and I didn't mean it in the way I portrayed to you. I can't be apologising all the time and I don't really see that as wife behaviour.... It's really..... Weird" He says.
