Free Love in Music by Capri Montgomery

both turned our heads to see mother, sister and father peeping around the corner.
     
    “Yeah, marry her already,” my mother said and my sister nodded fervently.
     
    “I would love to marry you,” I turned my attention back to her. “I just don’t know if you would love to marry me.” I saw a slight smile on her face. She was waiting—I think—for me to ask. “Will you marry me, Topaz? Will you be my wife, my family?”
     
    “Yes,” she said swiftly and merrily. “Yes.”
     
    I kissed her again, forgetting about the merriment going on in the hall and the fact that eyes would be watching this kiss. I just wanted to kiss her. Then I realized I was still holding her hands above her head, that her legs were still spread, and I was still between them. I let go and brushed my fingers down her cheek as my parents and my sister rushed in to congratulate us with hugs. This was a long time coming for me—falling in love again—falling in love completely. No matter what I thought I had with Angela, I never felt this. It was never like this.
     

 
    Chapter Seven
     
    T hat was our story, how we met, what brought us closer together and how we stopped fighting our love for each other. It’s amazing to me how one event can change an entire future. And as I stood there cutting the cake with my husband, our parents and siblings watching us declare our love for each other right there at his estate, I knew this was where I belonged, where I was meant to be.
     
    We had a small wedding with just immediate family there with us. We didn’t need anything big and we didn’t want to wait forever to marry. So within weeks we had our marriage license, and a caterer to make the cake and provide a nice luncheon for the post ceremony festivities. We used the natural ambiance of their home and Arashi had played a song for me on the piano—it was a song he had started writing about me, for me, that night our hearts had started to connect with each other, that night he had held me in his arms while I cried. He had felt then how much he could love me, but it had taken him, and me, a while to openly admit it.
     
    So now I’m Mrs. Topaz Sakamoto, married to the love of my life, Arashi Sakamoto. I was really starting to think all roads eventually lead us home. This, with him, with his family, with my family, this was home.
     
    “I love you,” I looked into his eyes and kissed his lips.
     
    “I love you too, more than words will ever be able to convey.”
     
    I rose on tiptoe and looped my arms around his neck, kissing his lips softly and promising him not just my love, not just my body, but my heart. Tonight he would be my first, my only, and now he would be mine. I would be his only for the rest of our lives. Wow, I was such a blessed woman. Love of my life, a family that loved me without hesitation and two mothers, my own and now his, who seemed determined to be my friend, help me gain knowledge and wisdom on married life—the what to do and what not to do parts, while they friended each other. I always wanted that kind of family bond when I did settle down. I always knew I wanted a family that would be a family. And now with the Sakamoto and the Kissinger family coming together I had that. We had that. Love—the best thing that ever happened to me.
