Without even bothering about the people around, Raymond picked her up in his arms and started walking.

"Put me down!" whispered Akira as she turned all scarlet seeing the reaction from people.

"Just close your eyes!" said Raymond and started walking towards the main entrance of the house and like a doll, she obeyed and closed her eyes and zipped her lips hard as she was unable to suppress that laugh.

"Don't purse your lips like that!" whispered Raymond.

"Why?" she asked with her eyes still closed.

"It makes me want to wipe away that smile from your face. I think you deliberately entice me to seal your lips with mine," said Raymond and reached the front porch.

"No way!" retorted Akira.

Raymond slowly put her down and then covered her eyes with his hands and said.

"I am not sure if you are going to like it or not, but wanted to give you something today."

"No riddles and no surprised Raymond! Didn't we talk about it?" asked Akira.

"Well technically since you stole my proposal plan, I have decided to take revenge," he said and then removed her palm slowly so that she could open her eyes.

A swanky new Audi RS7 Sport back car was parked outside the porch laced with a large pink ribbon bow at the top. The seats had been custom-made out of Italian leather with their initials carved on it [RAF - Raymond and Akira forever].

The moment she saw the car she yelled,

"No way!"

She ran towards it and felt the leather seats with her hands. She ran her fingers where their initials had been carved in and said,

"You Raymond Walker... You just need to be a step ahead. Don't you?"

Raymond lightly shrugged his shoulders and then asked,

"So what? Do you like it?"

"Like it? I love it" she chirped and ran back towards him to hug him tight.

"Only you know how to surprise me well," she said and softly kissed his lips. He placed his hands on her waist and leased back adrift from her and asked,

"Want to give a spin?"

"Oh Hello! Excuse me guys, there are people who are waiting for your dance and you are here exchanging gifts. Where have you sold your common-sense?" shouted Katherine as she was someone who couldn't tolerate when things didn't go as per her plans.

"Come on now! March back with me. You can go on a ride later on," she said and took Akira's hand in hers and started walking towards the backyard.

As they reached the stage, they saw that the seats in the front row had been cleared away and evening lawn lights had been switched on. The setting sun had coloured the whole area in hues of orange.

People were now standing around in a circle for they were waiting for the first dance and seeing the patient and eager eyes of people, they both felt guilty of even thinking of escaping.

Seeing them arrive at the scene, Shawn started the music - All of Me by John Legend.

Akira covered her face with her palms and tried to calm her frayed nerves because dancing with this man meant racing her heart at the top speed. And as he led her to the centre to dance with her, she remembered every single time that they had danced together.

The first dance where he pretended that he wasn't a good dancer and the next in which he dragged her so close that her sanity had taken a back seat. Every dance with him was special but this was going to be the one that she would cherish forever.

After all first dances are meant to special.

Raymond held her hand gingerly as they stood at the centre.

Akira looked up at him and blushed again. So in order to hide she pulled her veil back, but he was not the one who was going to let the veil stand in between now. So he inched closer and with both his hands he slowly unclipped the veil from the top of her head.

He inched close and brushed his lips close to her ears and said,

"No more hiding!" and then stepping aside he handed the veil to Katherine.

He looked into her eyes and inching close he held her hands and lifted them up to twine around his neck and then traced his hands all the way down to her slender waist.

'What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in, and you're kicking me out

You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down.'

They slowly moved around, inch after inch, their eyes locked in each other's gaze and their lips speaking nothing but promising each other a union of eternity.

And as she cornered her eyes to the side, he lifted her chin up,

"Eyes on me, only me!"

And she couldn't dare to look anywhere else for he stood there with the most charming smile on his face ever, singing along the lines of the song for he meant each and every word of that song.

'What's going on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright'

And slowly he rubbed his thumb on the sides of her waist and his lips let out a small whiff of air as he could feel her body twitch and curl with every touch of his.

He had found a gem.

He couldn't believe that he had found a woman who would love him so much that even death couldn't set them apart.

She closed her eyes and unable to bear his teasing fingers, she wrapped her arms tight around him and rested her face on his chest.

He smiled and slowly bent his head to give a kiss on her forehead. A deep wet kiss.

'My head's underwater

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you'
