Summer Wedding Part 5
Tumblr media
Comments and reboots welcome NO permission to repost or publish or translate.
Angsty (a lot... it's me after all) fluffy 18+just in case.
The next morning she woke up and she felt so much lighter even if she didn't know where she was for a moment last night slowly came back to her but in reverse with Nick even helping her put sheets he loaned her on the bed of the fully furnished appartment. It was early afternoon and Nick had kept his door, which just happened to be across the way, opened.
Earlier he had gotten her a donut for breakfast just as a pick me up and was a little worried it was still sitting there; especially after learning how possessive Ari had been and how he made her feel.
He was teaching an older student, a retiree who always wanted to learn and now had time. Nick who keep one eye on the open door, well her door was her reaction to the treat. Her eyes opened a little. Her eyebrows raised slightly and then a sigh, he thinks, followed by a smile. She knocked on the door.
"Sorry to interrupt. But, thanks Nick"
"For what? Its not a big deal," He laughs it off. With a blush. "I figured you could-use a pick me up."
"I um " she chuckled nervously and her breath picked up hoping plans were still on the table for her to move in rent free for a bit. " I don't have a key and I have to run out I don't wanna I mean I don't-"
"Right I'll up make up a key for you later. We always change the locks after each person. Moves in case they ya know. I'll be here all day though so you're good."
Her shoulders drop in relief as a smile crossed her face.
"Thanks for everything Nick" I'll I'm sorry for interrupting." She smiles and then leaves. Once the building door is heard breaking the silence while the retiree was taking a drink of water.
"Chinese." The retiree says
"What?"
"Chinese and a movie night you can't go wrong with that."
"I don't know what you mean." Nick blushes
"I'm sure you don't. She's a pretty girl. And you never gave me food when I moved in."
Nick didn't know what to say.
"She won't say no I guarantee it."
-------------------------------------------------
She knew she would be out by now and out late today based on the schedule she had been given a week ago and if he was by some evil curse there he'd be sleeping. He was the same during certain types of "projects" . She was relaxed walking in.
Then she saw Ari sitting on the floor she watched as he ran his hands through his hair and then stood up oblivious to her, she was watching the scene completely confused. His head hanging low.
"Ari. You're here. And awake I thought you'd be-"
He had jumped up the moment he heard her voice call his name.
"I've been worried sick," he wrapped his arms around her with his head on top of hers. Hes only a few inches taller at 6'1 vs her 5'8 but he still did it "about you. You've been gone the whole night. I."
He let go to look at her all over make sure she wasn't hurt.
"I stayed at a friends." She shrugged away from him and he all to easily let her slip from his grip, "And I found a place I'm  moving in this weekend."
"What?" His heart hit the floor.
"Yea so you can have your bed back soon."
"Wa I mean I well this I-" for the first time Ari didn't  know what to say or how to handle the situation.  His entire life he's been able to just fly by the seat of his pants
Nick had kept his promise and that weekend he helped her move out. Nick had made sure Ari wasn't in a room alone with her and Nick had placed himself between her and Ari at all times.
She was so much happier since she was living alone. Truthfully so was nick...especially since she agreed to have dinner with him... more than once. He doesn't remember the last time he had laughed so much, even smiled so much and when she had smiled he did then too. There was such a light in her that Nick saw that first morning and he wasn't going to let Ari do anything.
The whole time Ari was watching it was the worst horror movie Ari has ever seen. The worst situation Ari has ever been in. Thr amount of internal bleeding Ari was dealing with was insurmountable. For the first time in Ari's grown up life he had no plan. No words. He was helpless. She wouldnt let him help in fact she tried her best to ignore Ari's presence. Ari left lifeless.
"Ari I, Im sorry I- no you know what I'm not sorry. You made me feel like shit like crap. I thought I was shit. And um. I deserve someone who won't do that to me. Make me feel like that."
Meeting Nick reminded her but she wasn't going to say anything. "Ari won't be in my life any more. In fact He isn't." She told herself. But she wasn't heartless she couldn't be after everything. There were good moments after all.
"You're an amazing father to Maya but that doesn't mean an you're  a good man...for me.tell her I'll always be here for her.
She sees Nick behind him on a door way nodding in encouragement. She told him how she was nervous about the conversation she knew would happen and Nick had simply assured her that she was right and he'd be there to help if Ari wasn't agreeing. Nick knew she was strong enough someone just had to remind her.
"The argument you never appologized. But I did and that told me everything. You can't say the words I'm sorry-"
"I am I am so so sorry."
"Ari just stop. It's  too late."
She pushed past him proud that the single tear that tightroped acorss her eyeline never fell over. That said more than words ever could.
(I know Ari ran his hand down his beard then was rubbing his beard trying to stratagize to find a strategy. But I need to put it behind me.)
"You ok?" Nick curiously asked hoping her answer would remind herself of her strength. Nick somehow never realized what a great guy he is but she did.
"Yea . In fact I'm great."
"Good. Now what do you think of ttyin the amazing fantastic Ray's for dinner?"
"Didn't we have that last night?"
"No we had the amazing fabulous Rays."
"Oh god."
"And they are all on facing street corners," he wispered for some reason but it made her laugh.
They were done but Nick realized heft his phone and went back in.
"Hey," Ari grabbed his arm as he was walking out, surprising Nick who didn't miss a a beat changing his posture to match the lion one Ari has naturally.
"She trusts you."
"And I trust her."
"You better take good care of her."
Nick was taken back she didnt need anyone to 'take care of her,' what she did need was a friend right now. And nick would wait forever for her.
"Comming from you that's real rich. We're not dating but," Nick looked out the window to see her smiling along with the radio, and he couldn't help but smile
"She means the world to me."
"She deserves it."
"Yea she does." Nick's venom pierced Ari like a snake bite as Nick was sure to make a point to drive it home to hurt Ari.
He got into the car and they went off to move her away leaving Ari alone. It wasn't that he was a lone, it was that he lost her. He always had her to come home to and he loves that and cherished that until he let a bad day become a bad week and took it out on her he had no one to blame but himself.
He walked to Maya's room and he picked up her Gloworm. The one maya insisted on using... for this... He opened the velcro and moved the battery aside, he took out and a small box. He doesn't know why he was torturing himself by doing this but as he opened up the box a small peice of paper came out, he unfolded it, it was something Maya wrote herself. She was so excited and happy when Ari talked to Maya about what he wanted. He felt a horrible so horrible.. worse than scum shit crap. as he just didn't ruin things for himself but for Maya. Then he read the paper it had one sentance written in pink crayone was the words:
"PLEASE marry my Daddy."
And Ari cried again.

Summer wedding Part 6 (epilogue not not really I'm continuing it) would LOVE comments
Tumblr media
Reposts and COMMENTS are welcome and appreciated. You do not have my permission to repost, publish or translate
Warnings: fluff. Angst, mentions of air plane crashes death, divorce, wedding planning and Duh Ari
"Ari" she was surprised to see him there only because the two of you haven't spoken in she doesn't know. Her first instinct for some reason is to look for Nick, her partner in crime, but then she took a breath she isn't the same Person Ari doesn't grace her like he once did. He doesn't make her feel small like that anymore. He didn't always but she did want to face him and frankly he looked off. She motioned to the side and there was a nice garden
"I wanted to say congratulations" he couldn't help but look at her in a white dress that hugged her curves just so with daisy cutouts in-between that started with a blush pink
"Nice color" Ari thought, fading to a white that one would never know there was day cut outs unless one was standing this close and paying this much attention. He may never know that Nick was the one who picked it out, who going to look at tuxes he saw the dress and bought in her size. She loved it. But that was Nick. That Nick not ari that did that.
"Thank you"
She paused for a moment and then gave him a hug wrapping my arms around his neck for a moment and sighed before she let go.
She knew Nick wouldn't get jealous and it had been too long they had things that went unsaid that needed to be well, said
"Look about how things ended it wasn't right im sorry.
"No I am it was. It was..." he swollowed hard "I'm just glad your happy."
I could tell me wasn't not completely but thats life.
"So how are things,"
"Good things are good. Maya misses you."
"Tell her I said hi."
There was a beat
"You don't give her the right candy do you?"
"No " he threw his hands up and I couldnt help but chuckle. "Just let her pick it out from party city itll save time and you'll know for next time."
"I tried getting what used to eat but-"
"She likes the stuff she can't get there. That's the whole point." I laughed.
"This is nice fancy"
"Thanks Nick parents are throwing it.
What's he do again?"
"Musican and manages an apartment building."
"Interesting.
"Off, my ass" I shouldn't even fallen for that again. His hands go into his noticeably tight front pockets even
"Look when we were together I know I used to send you texts to make sure you were ok and I never meant to try and be controling or know where you are to be an ass but with my job I you never stop worrying that someone will take someone you love and -
I understood. Let me guess last girlfriend didn't did you you didn't I guess couldn't just run around and tell everyone you date you're an assasin."
"You believed me"
"Well honey," she scoffed "you told me when we were in Israel are you took me into mossad headquarters kinda makes it look legit not to mention you arranged for a fake passport without telling for there oh and also lets not forget about the what to do if you get kidnapped handbook puts an elegant stamp on things."
"It wasn't a how survive kidnapp mannual:
"Ari half the things in there started with keep your kidnapper calm."this banter was smooth for them familiar...comfortable.
"Most girls would have run for the hills. But not you."
"Well I was stuck in Israel and I dont know those hills. Plus you would have found me."
"I would have always found you" Ari thought through thr slightly uncomfortable but-not-as-uncomfortable-as-they-thought-t-would-be moments of silence as they walked around the garden
"You can stay if you want. We have room."
"It's ok I just wanted to congratulate you."
"You want to say hi to Nick?"
He shook his head no. Ari truely looked sad. He look down and away as she rolled my eyes at the big bad assain.
"If your targets could see you now Come on " she shook her head. Nick appeared out of no where.
" Nick" Ari couldn't miss how her eyes lit up for her fiance....he remembered with longing how they used to do that for him.
"you remember Ari, he came to congratulate us." They shook hands with curt looks. She was hoping her hand on Nick's back was soothing him. He never liked Ari. She motioned for a server to come with drinks.
There was a crash while they all looked and she saw Ari jump a bit. She directly saw him juml "He never jumps." She thought.
"It was just silver ware but the event planner was motioning for the bride and she was torn. "Um" she looked at Nick.
"Play nice."
"You're leaving, soon." Nick stated
Ari shook his head.
Change of P.O.V
I came back. Looking at the two of them.
"Well at least no one is bleeding. That's a good sign."
"I need to go."
"I'll walk you out."
Nick's hand runs down my arm to my hand and I turn to see his smile and I smile back at him.
Ari goes to open the door and I close it.
"What's going on?Ari you jumped you never jump. What happened."
"Nothing long flight."
How he is a spy I will never know.
"Try. Again. Do I need to know something? Or should I just go get Rachel she's in the other room."
He looked a mix of confused and worried and could it be- no just concern.
"No, I everything's fine. I just had to see for myself."
"This?"
He nodded. " I'm leaving for Isreal."
Far to get away from an ex's endgament but ok....
"You'll find someonr Ari so it wasn't me. You'll find her. Stop trying so hard. "
He nods
"You're good man itll happen." I rubbed his back
"Tell Maya I said hi. And give her a hug for me."
"Will do"
And if you're ever in the city one day a d she wants to see the dinosaurs ill go with her."
"What you two like about those dusty bones I'll never get."
He was almost completely over the threshold when I grabbed his arm.
"Milkyways. She loves milkyways and paydays and 100 grands anything with carmel. Her mother doesn't let her eat Carmel."
He looked me up and down slowly With remorse. He really way saying goodbye.
"Bye" he leaned in for a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye."
Three days later I'm looking at news on my phone and it come up that a few body's were found from a wreck of an Israeli airplane with one of them being a New York teacher which is why NBC was reporting on it but no....couldn't be..... he no he went back before. Right. Would Maya be with him? He didn't say....
"Honey what's wrong"
"There was an airplane crash"
"That's horrible."
"Yea a teacher from the city was in it but it was in isreal ari was going back you don't think I'm sure Maya's fine. I'm just Ari sometimes went with her but there want anything about kids. I mean I don't even know where-."
"Only you would worry about an ex's kid."
"Well Nick it was a horrible custody fight. And I wasn't always allowed in the court room with him and she definitely was God forbid her mother leaves her at home so we played battleship for candy outside. That kid had a thing for strategy didnt even have to let her win. I could never even get one hit. "
Nick was laughing
"Are you- why are you laughing at me?"
"Because a 7 year old beat you at battle ship. How many times."
"Shut up" I playfully hit him with a pillow from the couch he returned the playfully gesture.
Nick thought back to his discussion with Ari
No one knows about her but
Shell be safe regardless. I've always kept her safe especially from you.
Look I've apologized 10 times what more do you want.
You. Out.
"I came to say goodbye. That's all" ari wasn't thrilled with Nick's tone. But there was nothing he could do. He made his bed. Time to burn it.
"You have. You're leaving, soon."
Nick stated
Ari shook his head
You talked to Ethan?
Yes my great uncle called me.
A week later a postcard came in the mail
I stood there looking at it. The simple message. Barely a senatance.
"Hon whats wrong?"
"Nothing. Just a post card from an old friend."
Three words but I read it over and over and I knew it had to mean something else but I didn't know what.
"I'm sorry. -Thomas."
Everything ok.
"Yea. Just yea. Ok I cant figure it out."
"I'm sorry."
"So what he do cheat on you?"
"Wha-why do you think I dated everyone?"
"Because who wouldn't want to."

Summer Wedding Part 4
But this is what really happened....
Tumblr media
18+ just incase
No publishing or printing REBLOGs and COMMENTS are Appreciated!!
Warnings: Angst some fluff some mention if like ari being over pritective but he is an assasin at times so thats whay I meant ai wasn't trying for him to be controling but rather make sure no one kidnapped her. I cant think of others. I walked in the kitchen seeing Ari there I gasp. He turns
"I'm so sorry  I-"
the nervous pang of an invisible sharp knife hit my chest and rippled into my limbs as tears filled my eyes.
"I'm leaving I-Im so sorry.I-"
"Wait I-"
I can't believe I did that how did I not hear him.  Oh God. The tears started all over. There was a knock on the door.
"I'm sorry please dont make me leave tonight." After the fight we had I dont think I know him anymore. Then I realized what came out of my mouth. I was begging him. I don't think I know who I am anymore. Who has he turned me into? "Can I come in?"
"It's your house."
"It's  ours. I'm  sorry I just. When you danced and I saw him have everything I wanted in his arm I-" He wasn't looking at me. It felt like a stand off. He never finished his sentance.
"Can I have some privacy please." He nodded and left. I got dressed. I wasn't going to wait for him to kick me out or whatever. I needed to leave and just get air or something.
And thats how I ended up at a Jazz and blues  bar in the middle of the night. It was quiet after a band played for hours.  "You know I thought I'm the one that's supposed an expert in the blues."
She turns to her right as shes still tring to process what he said.
"What?" She was stirring her drink The man broke his cool exterior,
"Sorry  that was a really bad pick up line."
She couldnt help but smirk "I've heard worse." "You look like the last thing you need is a man trying to pick you up. So how about a a trumpet  player?" She cracked up.
"That's just wrong on so many levels."
"Made you laugh."
"That I did need."
"Beer." The trombone player asked the bartender
"Haven't seen you here before.-"
"You here every night?"
"Just when I work,"
she gave him a confused look and he gave her a confused well more of a concerned look about why she was confused.
"The blues, trumpet player. I'm with the band we played over two hours tonight"
"I am so sorry I, I'm just so out if it I just I had a really bad week- My boyfriend broke up with me and we had the worst fight. I mean I just felt like shit like im the worst person in the world right now." Tears filled her eyes. "I'm sorry.
"Don't be. And you can't be worse than my ex trust me talk about being assholes."
She raise her eye brows, "You can't leave it like that."
"My ex just told me she was pregnant-"
"Congratulations,"
"It's not mine she broke up with me just before graduation about well  few years back. Actually  the day I was going to propose, yea she thought it would be a good time for a break . I was going to follow her all the way to her job is Pennsylvania from Georgetown"
"Wow"
He chuckles.
"Then I ran into her at a wedding where she tells me she's pregnant and wants to have lunch to catch up where she wants my advice on how to propose to her boyfriend."
"Oh my god you're kidding- you're just saying that to make me feel better."
"God I wish I was." He takes a swig of beer.
"So what'd your ex do? why'd he make you feel like shit."
"How do you know it was him?"
"You said boyfriend."
"No I mean-"
"I know, you just seem too nice.  You're thinking about it, sulking I'd bet if you were the one that did whatever it was you'd be after his forgiveness not sitting here for 3 and a half hours nursing the same drink."
"Wait 3 and a half hours? What time is it?"
"Almost 3 am."
"Oh my God."
"So spill."
"I'd spend less time tell you what I apprently did (i.e. nothing at all hence the worthlessness she feels) or didn't do even Helen of Troy was my fault."
"You gotta love that one. It's all your fat because God forbit they an adult take responsibility foor anything."
"Right like and the way he said it I just, I still feel like-" I sighed "doesn't matter now anyway" I  stared at the small slip in front of me.
Looking for a new place?
"Yea."
"I uh can introduce you to a landord if you want. I think you'll get along. You can take a look at the apartment too."
"When?"
"Now?"
"Now? It's like 3 am? Do I look that- "
" No I-" he drops his head and shakes it. I dont mean it like that I-I'm  the landlord. Really."
He looked honest. But so did Ari once upon a time.
"Screw it. Besides if anything happens I'm  sure Ari will say it was I was asking for it so it had to be my fault."
I could feel Nick was eyeing me.
"You're serious."
"Yep. Like I the fall of the roman empire was my fault."
True to his word. Nick was the building manager and the apartment was gorgeous, big roomy and I'm  pretty sure way more expensive than I could afford."
Nick was hading back and leaned on the side of the living room despite it being fully furnished.
"So what do ya think?"
"I think I love it-"
"It's yours."
"I don't think-"
"You can afford it. I promise." "You dont even know what i make- if I make anything." He sighed and turned around My parents own the building you don't even have to pay rent ok.  Why don't you stay here tonight and If you dont mind waiting a few days I can help you move all your stuff out into here." "Really?" "Yeah" "Thank you." I randomly gave him a hug. "I know what it's like to have a bad ex." "You have no clue."
Ok so I wasn't going to tell Nick that Ari was a forign operative and that if anything did happen to me, while it would be "my fault" or not he'd  still save me as he has some sort of hero complex. But if Ari also really cared about me he wouldn't let it get that far. I knew him that much. Which made everything feel so much worse. Any other day before today if I was out this late he'd get nervous and text me. If I didnt answer in like 10 minutes he'd blow up my phone.  He had reason to it's not safe in the city alone-vulnerable especiallyif someone knows i date him and they have a bone to pick. Beig in the US puts me away from all the later. But the former....Sad but true as a woman alone. He used to say I was too pretty for my own good he meant is as a complimentI thought, that ...but now I see it wasn't no way it could have been .  I'm  sure that sounds possessive I'm sure this all does. He believed me when I said I was safe. He believed me when I said I was at a girlfriend's house. He always did. So it's not like he came running after me to drag me back home. But I liked it. Or rather I liked having someone to come home to. (Or to come home to me) Someone to care about me someone worrying if I'm ok. Maybe that sounds pathetic but I really was ok with it. Not that he didn't teach me self defense, as did  Rachel (who was more intense)  well it seems just about everyone taught me some self defense.  Ari did...was he used to be concerned about me. Which made all this worse. (Did I say that already?) If he cared at all he would've texted me just once. He knew I wasn't there and it was evident he didn't  care. I feel like I lost everything I had even though I know it wasn't true.
Part 5 comming soon
