The CEO's Painted Skin 51 Bride And Groom

John was already up and moving, he reached for the blanket and covered every inch of Catherine's naked body, he entered the bathroom and cleaned himself by taking a shower.

Done with his shower, he wore his bathrobe and exited the bathroom.

While on his way to his closets, he glanced tenderly at Catherine, her eyelids were still closed and her breathing was even, she was still in a deep sleep.

He took a brief, shorts and t-shirt from his closets and donned the garments on his body. Done with dressing, he open another drawer and took out a small jewelry box, he placed it in his palm and opened it, there inside lays a pair of 25karats sparkling gold wedding ring with diamond stones sprinkled in the center, not too big nor too small, just the perfect size, he brought it the other day. He smiled broadly, he had chosen the perfect wedding ring for their wedding.

He walked towards the table in the corner, there lays a white box, inside was a below the knee princess cut wedding gown for Catherine to wear on their wedding day, he went to this famous wedding designer boutique and choose from different arrays of wedding gowns designs, he had chosen the perfect white wedding dress design for his wife. It took six days for the wedding gown to be finished and he picked it up just yesterday. He put down the jewelry box in the surface of the table next to the wedding gown.

A satisfying smile curled up in his lips.

Wedding gown...checked.

Wedding ring...checked

Marriage License will arrive next week.

He walked towards the bed and peered at her beautiful face. She was still sleeping soundly like a baby. He kissed her forehead, then he turned around and sauntered towards the door to drink water in the kitchen.

A few moments later, he went back to his room, Catherine was no longer lying in his bed, he heard the splashing of water in the shower, she must be already showering inside.

He walked towards the table gathered the box and the jewelry and put it above the bed. He was waiting patiently for her to come out in the shower.

When she came out of the shower she was wearing his bathrobe.

He motioned for her to come into the bed and sit on his lap

She sits down on his lap and stared at the two boxes in the bed.

John picks up the jewelry box first and opens it.

The sparkling gold wedding ring glistened against the light of the bedroom.

Catherine covered her mouth, speechless! Her eyes were flashing with happiness. OMG! The wedding ring is so beautiful and exquisite!

"It's so elegant!" she squealed in joy.

He took the wedding ring from its box and placed the ring into her fourth finger.

"Wow, it fits perfectly!" he said.

Catherine took the other ring and placed it on his fourth finger. They put their hand's side by side.

"Aww...they look so beautiful together!" she let out a girly giggle.

John kissed her temple. He opened the box and took out the wedding dress.

Catherine got misty-eyed upon seeing the beautiful princess cut wedding dress.

"Wow this is lovely and perfect!" she runs her fingers on the fabric of the gown.

"I want you to wear it for me right now, Catherine."

"Yes, why not!"

She excitedly tossed the bathrobe away from her body, she was just wearing her bra and underwear. With the help of John, she was able to wear the wedding gown easily, it fits perfectly on her body.

"Fabulous!" she gushed, her face radiant.

"Wait! I will wear my tuxedo too," he said. He immediately went to his wardrobe and pulled out the tuxedo and the matching pants from its hanger. He donned it on his body grinning.

Once they were fully clothed with their wedding dress, John retrieves his cell phone from the bedside table and took pictures of them together on their wedding dress. They had taken fifty different poses of them together; some were taken in the bed, her head was resting on his chest, she was sitting on John's lap, in the table sitting on the chair, in the floor, in the living room, in the kitchen, beside the swimming pool and in all the picturesque places in the flat. They were laughing merrily like children while taking those gorgeous pictures.

They were having loads of fun!

After getting tired with their activities, they put back the wedding gowns and tuxedo to where they originally belong, hand in hand they walked towards the kitchen.

John heated the Hawiaan and Cheeze Overload pizza that he ordered a few hours ago.

While they eat their pizza they kept looking into each other's eyes, they would burst out laughing from time to time remembering their crazy loved up impromptu photo session.

During those moments they both know they were each other's soulmates destined for each other.

"I Love You so much, John!"

"I Love You so much, Catherine!"

After pledging their love for each other, a burst of tenderness and happiness erupted from their hearts and filled their entire being with contentment and satisfaction, with the awareness that destiny played as the matchmaker of their love story, they were so confident that nothing would come their way...

John and Catherine entered the bedroom, they lay down in the bed, her head rested well comfortably on his arms.

"Catherine, when we are already married. I want your mother and siblings to live with us. You can choose where do you want them to live, in the MysticBay Twin Tower or here? I will construct a nice room for them on the 14th floor if you choose to live here since it's still wide enough to accommodate your family. Then I want you to go back to school, choose a four-year degree course to your liking. Then after you graduated from your course we will start having children. I want to see little Catherine and little John running around this flat one day. Is that okay with you?"

She nodded in agreement.

Catherine grinned from ear to ear. She was actually excited to go back to school again and finish at least two or four years degree course.

"I love that! I love to go to college!" she shrieked unable to contain her happiness and excitement.

They embrace each other tight, after a while, they stared at each other's eyes for a long time without saying a word. John and Catherine's faces were full of love and tenderness for each other.
