"First of all, what's your favorite color?" I ask him as I sit across from him on his bed. He is laying peacefully on his bed, his eyes are closed, his hands are behind his head, and his legs are slightly leaning to the side of his bed.

I have no idea how someone could simply lay on a plain bed and look so hot.

Ignore it, Blair. Just ignore it.

"Blue." River answers, opening his eyes, and I roll my eyes.

"Of course."

He smiles, "What's yours?"

"Uh." I blush, "Blue."

"Hypocrite."

I stick my tongue out at him in response. He simply shakes his head and closes his eyes again.

"Why'd you ask anyway?" He asks as I write on the piece of paper.

"Wedding colors, duh. For flowers and things like that."

"Right. What else do you got?"

I bite my lip in thought, "Bridesmaids, groomsmen."

"Assassin Cody and Assassin Drake are your friends, right?" River murmurs, making me confused.

"Yes..."

"They're my groomsmen then."

I open my mouth, surprised, but quickly close it. "Um, yeah, okay. My bridesmaids are Samantha and..."

"Alexis?" River suggests and I shrug.

"Your cousin? Would she be okay with that?"

"My queen, have you forgotten who I am?" He grins, opening his eyes and sitting up.

I raise my eyebrows, "What, the leader?"

"No." River shakes his head with that grin of his, "I'm the king."

"Oh." I whisper, looking down at the paper. Why do I feel...nervous? Now that I think about it, why do I always feel nervous around him?

Cause you like him, idiot.

"That's what makes you queen. I'm the king and soon you'll be married to me. Technically, you're already queen."

I nod, gulping.

River glances at his watch, "Hey, wanna raid the kitchen?"

"Hm?" My eyes widen and I nod as I quickly stand up. "Hell yeah."

"I knew you'd say that." He chuckles and we go to the kitchen together. I pour us juice while he makes us sandwiches.

The entire time....I kept thinking, he's gonna be a good husband. My feelings for him increased every time he did something cute or nice. When he said sorry just for putting too much ham, when he thanked me with such enthusiasm when I gave him his drink, and when he made me laugh so hard I almost choked.

He said sorry for that too.

I'm not gonna lie. This boy has found his way into my heart again.

Of course, I kept thinking that I shouldn't like him. I shouldn't have those feelings for him anymore. But screw it!

I'm getting freaking married to him! I have the right to like him or even love him! I just...wish he would love me too. Or even just like me.

Hold up. Are you listening to yourself? You sound weak and fragile. That is not how Blair acts.

It's true though... He won't love me.

So what? him fall in love with you. Be strong, be confident, and be brave. Take your chance now. You're getting married to him! He could very much fall in love with you.

He just needs a little push.

I nod to myself and smile. Yeah. A little push...

"What are you thinking about?" River questions as he helps me clean the kitchen.

"You." I smirk, which makes him raise his eyebrows. He looks astonished.

"Oh." He mutters and turns away from me. But before he does, I see a hint of a smile on his lips and his cheeks are a bit red.

And Blair is back!

"How long do you have?"

He thought about it for a while. "An hour."

"That's good enough. Let's get back to wedding planning, yeah?" I smile and he nods, smiling also. We walk back to his room and get in our old positions.

"Who's doing the ceremony?"

"Our very own priest."

I quirk an eyebrow at him, "You have a priest?"

"We have a priest." River corrects, "And yeah. He was a priest before becoming one of our members. But he doesn't go on missions."

"I see." I nod, "Hey, do you know when my next mission is?"

"Yeah. It's tomorrow."

"What? Why didn't anyone tell me?" My eyes widen but he simply shrugs.

"You're going with me. I was supposed to tell you yesterday but I forgot." River smiles apologetically, "Sorry?"

I sigh, frustrated. "It's fine. Just remember to warn me next time."

"Of course."

"Thanks." I focus my attention back on the paper. Have we got everything covered? In one day?

Oh wait.

"My wedding dress!" I gasp at the sudden realization. How could I forget?

"Choose any from the Internet or something. Alexis will get it for you." He says and I grin.

"I'm taking full advantage of that."

River shakes his head, "I know you will."

I chuckle then look at the time. "Oh, it passed an hour." To be honest, I'm disappointed but I try to hide it.

"Oh yeah. I have to meet my father and Alexis for dinner."

"Why?"

"We're gonna think of improvements and problems that can be easily fixed." River replies and I stand up, gathering my things.

"Gotcha. I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Absolutely." River gives me a wide smile before going inside his bathroom, closing his door.

I better prepare myself for the mission tomorrow.

Quickly, I go to my room and take a shower. I did some stretching and simple training in my room. Then I decided to get some sleep.

When I was starting drifting off, a thought came to my mind.

River has found his way into my heart again. But maybe...just maybe...he never left.
