16 Marriage (2/2)
”You definitely chose the best day to be.” Kai said then he greeted Quinton with a fist b.u.mp. After that, he greeted Carmen with a hug.
After Kai hugged her she said, ”We should go inside, your parents are there.”
Kai nodded his head and then they all walked into the building. Inside was lines of people, they were all here to renew pa.s.sports or get a new identification card. But Kai wasn't here for that so he took the elevator to the 5th floor. On the fifth floor they dealt with marriages. Coming out the elevator Kai looked straight ahead and it was a narrow pathway with windows to the left. On the right was multiple wooden doors separated by white walls. As he walked, he looked on the doors for the name Dale Tether. He was the one who was going to officiate the marriage. They continued to walk until the found the door.
Once he saw the name, Kai knocked on the door, ”Who is it?” an unfamiliar voice sounded out behind the door.
”It is Kai Adler.”
”Oh, come in, come in.”
So Kai, Quinton and Carmen walked in. As they did they saw Kai's mother and father sitting on chairs. The office wasn't big. It could only comfortably seat 10 people. It had paintings of couples in love, kissing, stargazing etc. The floor was carpet and was mud brown. Contrary to the colour the place smelled like roses.
Dale Tether stood behind his wooden desk. He was a short old man standing at 162cm. He had a stomache that protruded out of his ts.h.i.+rt creating a circular bulge. He had black hair with grey lines and spoke in a warm tone. In front of him on the desk were three pieces of white paper and two pens.
After seeing his parents Kai sat next to them. He sat on the right side of his father. His mother sat on the left side of his father. Quinton and Carmen sat on the right side of Kai. There was a 1.5 meter gap between the chairs and the desk.
Once everyone was settled the door opened and standing under the bridge was a beautiful girl with long black hair and dark blue eyes. She was wearing tight denim blue jeans and a purple cotton top.
The girl scanned the people sitting down from the right. Her eyes landed on Carmen then Quinton and then Kai. When she saw Kai she revealed a faint smile. Then she walked in the room and closed the door. She walked to the chairs and saw that the only s.p.a.ce open was next to Carmen. She pouted at the idea of siting next to Carmen since it wasn't Carmen she was marrying. So she walked to the seat Quinton was sitting on and instructed him to move one over so she could sit next to Kai. However, Quinton never answered her. He just sat down and stared at her with a dumbfounded expression. Quinton was enamoured by how pulchritudinous she was in person. He had seen her in 3D images yet an image couldn't hope to capture her beauty. It was a sight only the natural eye could understand.
The girl had to repeat herself before he came back to planet Drars. Immediately, he asked Carmen to move one over and then he did. Once everyone moved over there was an empty seat next to Kai but instead of sitting down she walked to Kai's parents and introduced herself as Lexi Montreal. Kai's parents were happy because she seemed like a good person. But they also wondered when Kai agreed to marriage what brain he made that decision with, 'He is at that age,' Kai's parents communicated with each other with one nod of the head.
After greeting Kai's parents she greeted Carmen and Quinton then she finally sat down next Kai.
As she sat down Kai whispered to her, ”Where is your father?”
She furrowed her eyebrows, ”Why?”
”Well every time we have met so far he has been here.”
”That's because every time he was needed. He is not needed for this so I came alone.”
Kai nodded his head and that's when Dale Tether began speaking, ”I guess we should start now... Can the two individuals getting married step forward.”
So Kai and Lexi stepped forward, they stood between the 1.5 m gap between the chairs and the desk.
Once they stood up Dale Tether cleared his throat, ”We have all come today to unite these two people by law.” He said touching Lexi on her shoulder and then Kai. Then he removed his hands from their shoulders, ”And by doing so we are uniting their two houses. May the two individuals please step forward to the desk.”
So they stood by the desk looking at the papers, ”Please take the pages and sign your name and surname on each doc.u.ment.”
So Lexi and Kai signed all the papers, ”Now that you have signed the papers, by the power invested in me. I know p.r.o.nounce you husband and wife.”
Everyone that was present clapped their hands and shouted in praise as joyful smiles came about their face. Even though it was a marriage of convenience it was a beautiful moment.
While looking at Lexi, Kai couldn't deny that his heart was beating but it was beating slowly and concisely. As he looked into her eyes he thought, 'I'm really getting married to her. From now on we are husband and wife and will be living together. Even though there is no feelings attached, I'm happy it's with her. We are also partners aiming to be King and Queen. I chose her because it just felt right.' While looking at her he smiled.
Lexi's heart was beating too as she looked into Kai's green and yellow eyes. She is only 175cm were Kai is 183cm so she had to look up, 'After two years of searching I have finally found someone... Someone I actually want to marry. It's not romantic but I'm happy with my decision. I just know together we can be King and Queen.”
Still looking at Lexi, Kai said, ”Can I touch you?”
Hearing what Kai had said straight after they got married his parents put their hands on their foreheads, 'Of course... He is of that age.'
Quinton was grinning but he also felt proud, he never knew Kai to be so bold, 'No games are being played here.'
Carmen shook her head, 'Seems all the years with Quinton has finally taken affect.”
Lexi heard what Kai had said and smiled, ”Sure.”
This caused more confusion... What was happening!?
Hearing Kai had the okay he slowly extended his hands closer to her body. He kept bringing his hands closer to her body until he was half way. When he was half way her hands met his and they interlocked. With their hands together they looked into each others eyes and then began cycling their lightning, using each other as a kickstarter.
Lexi smiled when she felt how much stronger he had become since they last had met. This only reaffirmed to her that she made the right decision. As they held hands the natural lightning began forming in their Eneron. However, they already knew they were kickstart compatible. This wasn't what they were looking for.
So Lexi, looking at Kai said, 'Cycle your essence into your lightning and then let it flow into me.'
Kai furrowed his eyebrows but Lexi gripped his hands tighter and said, ”Trust me.”
So he did, he began funnelling his essence into the natural lightning until everything was essence lightning. And then per her instruction he drew it from his Eneron and then into his upper body and then from his arms to his hands were he let it enter her body.
Lexi did the same thing, she changed her natural lightning to essence lightning and then released it into Kai's body.
As their essence lightning entered each other's body it began to build up. Until the both of them revealed a grin.
