"Hmm," her lips pressed into a slight smile with his suggestion before they parted to release a grin. "A wedding this year sounds absolutely perfect if you ask me," she leaned in to touch her lips to the tip of his nose, "August of this year, we may have to rely on some personal favors to get it all done that quickly," she teased, "but I don't think I can wait any longer," Aarin stated, leaning back a little to reach her hands behind her back. A mischievous smile tugged on the corner of her lips as she unhooked her bra and slipped it off from underneath her romper. "What else can we plan, now?" @marcelvaughn

Truth was, Marcel really didn't have any self control when it came to her. He never really had, not even in high school. It was just something about how his attraction to her always pulled him in and made him loose all common sense. He leaned back on the couch to make some better room for her when she shifted to sit on his lap, hands placing themselves against her thighs as he let his thumb gently caress the curve of them while he said, "We are in April now, so I guess it might make sense with a Autumn or even Winter wedding, if we want to do it this year?" He suggested, "Though I wouldn't mind if we aimed for August." It was a good month in his opinion as it was right before the football season. @aarinxduskin

"I don't find it embarrasing at all," if anything, Aarin had always envied how Ximena could stand up for herself in any given situation. "Hey, that doesn't sound like such a bad gig." The brunette smiled at Ximena. "Oh, well," she laughed softly, "it's certainly going amazing, but perhaps I'm a bit biased." Aarin said as she pinched her fingers together in a teasing manner, "We've still got lots of planning to go but I'm certain we will get it done in no time. He's an eager man to marry me." @ximenapercz

Ximena shakes her head, a smile curving her lips. If anyone knew how feisty the Perez woman was, it was Aarin. There wasn't a single person who could knock her off her defense. She always had a come back and sometimes was a tad bit bratty. She raises her coffee up to her lips. "You never have to worry about me not standing up for myself. I'm sure people find it embarrassing when they are with me." She teases. "I'm alright, just kind of rollin' with life, ya know?" She smirks. "How about you? How's your cute little engagement going?"

"I'm glad to hear that you might not have any sort of self control when it comes to me," Aarin teased him right back. "That feels like a win-win to me," her teeth pressed into her bottom lip as she looked at him. "When do we want to get married, month wise? "Aarin questioned, moving so that she was now straddling him on the couch. Her hands moved to rest on his shoulders. "Are we thinking this year?" Truthfully, like he said, she'd marry him right here on this couch and she wasn't sure how long she could wait. @marcelvaughn

Reaching for her hand, he took it in his own, giving it a small squeeze. “I know.” He told her reassuringly. If anyone knew the details about his relationship with his brother, how it had gone from sweet to sour, it’d be Aarin. She understood better than most, so he knew it was all coming from a place of good intent. Slowly his lips turned upwards into a wide grin, eyes glancing over his wife to be, before he chucked softly. “I am glad to hear that you think I have any sort of self control when it comes to you.” He told her playfully, “At this rate, we’ll have the wedding done and you naked in no time.” @aarinxduskin

"I can't imagine Cairo runs on a rumor mill," she smiled, "maybe I'll pitch Cairo as a honey moon, option." She made a mental note of it, knowing it was probably going to be a lengthy list on where they'd go for their honeymoon. "It's always been meant to be for you two, though no one ever specifies when that will be." She could say the same about Marcel and herself finally getting engaged. "Something about them. " Aarin laughed softly, "I always dreamed of it, of course, but after we split up, I never thought it would have happened." @amayahxfontenelle

"I suppose. Guess being away for quite a few years make you forget that little fact. Cairo? Not so much functioning based on the turning of the rumour mill." Perhaps it was too big for that. But she never experienced any of her neighbours to have been nosy. "I would agree. I would've rather already been married to him, but I won't complain before fate messes this up again." She would say nothing more, not in the mood to discuss why it didn't work out last time. Ignorance was Bliss. "As am I for you and Marcel. I've been rooting for you since God knows when. Something about high school sweethearts, huh?" @aarinxduskin

"No pressure, okay?" Aarin placed her hand overtop of his as he placed it onto her knee. The last thing Aarin would ever do to Marcel is force him to reconcile with his younger brother. He never forced her to be close with Owen or her step-mother when her father got remarried - it all happened in its own time. A giggle bubbled over her lips as his lips brushed against her skin as he spoke. The lightness tickled like a feather, "Mm, I like the way you think," she stopped her hand, "how about," Aarin began to suggest, tipping her head to the side, "for each little thing we plan," her teeth captured her bottom lip, "I will remove a piece of clothing." Which, as spring had brought a bit of warmth, were not plentiful in nature. @marcelvaughn

An olive branch, that was one way to look at it, and he hadn't until Aarin mentioned it. He just pulled his shoulders into a small shrug, the thought of his younger brother not exactly bringing up a lot of happy memories from the more recent years, and only served as a heartache from the time they had been thick as thieves. "I'll think about it." He responded eventually, forcing a small smile as his hand moved to rest on her knee, giving it a small squeeze. "Mmm--" He mumbled against the skin while his lips continued to press against it. "As long as you don't mind it coming off in whatever transport we might take to venue, sure--" He teased, looking down at her hand rubbing against his thigh. "You better stop that right now, or I will devour you." He warned her with a playful twinkle in his eye. @aarinxduskin

"That's entirely up to you, babe," Aarin told him, knowing that his relationship with his brother was not the best, "it could seen as the extension of an olive branch?" Perhaps the offer of Chase being groomsmen would allow the brothers to grow closer. "I think so, too," she was happy to find that they were agreeing on the fronts thus far when it came to the wedding. "Oh, yeah?" Aarin bit down on her bottom lip as his lips teased along the skin of her neck. "I hope you also promise that it ends up on the floor the moment we are alone." Aarin teased, her hand rubbing against his thigh. @marcelvaughn

“Good, good—“ He cleared his throat, “Because I haven’t given it much thought. I am kind of on the fence whether or not to ask Chase to be a groomsman?” He added, unsure if it was a good idea or not all things considered. “Okay, yeah four sounds like a decent number, at least to start.” He found himself agreeing, hand gently caressing the skin of her back as he looked down at her with a smile, “It’s like you said, we’ve got time. There is no rush.” Regardless of how badly he wanted to marry her. Leaning down, he let his lips tease the skin of her neck, “Though I can’t wait to see you in that wedding dress.” @aarinxduskin

"Now that's the best way I've heard it put thus far," Aarin couldn't help but laugh with the candid words that Alliannah shared between the two of them. There was truth to it, in some regard. They were young, much younger when they were first together and their lives moving in different directions. "We should have, but I do think that wouldn't have worked out for us, truthfully. I do fully believe that we needed the space we had." For the two of them to grow as people, to see that they truly wanted to be with one another. "He hasn't?" Aarin gasped with the notion, "I am surprised, he must have assumed you seen them already." The brunette reached for her phone, easily able to find one of the videos before sliding her phone across the table and pressing play for her soon to be sister in law. @alliannahvaughn

"I definitely think we had something to do with that. All those years of trying to convince him to marry you and he finally got his head out of his ass and did it." she playfully winked. Alli knew that the history between Aarin and Marcel was rough, but she also knew that the girls had spent the majority of their lives hoping for this moment. "Well then get on it!" she smiled, looking at Aarin for a moment. "You two should've been married years ago." she laughed, though shook her head when the other asked about the videos. "THere are videos?!" she questioned. "No, he hasn't shown me anything. I wanna see." @aarinxduskin

"We've just gotten engaged," it was merely a question that had popped into her mind when they were considering the number of people. "No, of course you can get back to me," she wouldn't expect them to plan the entirety of the wedding in one evening, "we have time to plan it all out." She teased, "I'm thinking I'd do at least four," she told Marcel, to give him a starting point. "But more or even less, I think we can work with. Considering we haven't officially asked anyone." @marcelvaughn

Marcel thought about her question for a moment, "I mean.." He paused again, only to sigh, "I haven't really given it much thought if I am being honest with you." He admitted. Who did he want up there next to him when they would be giving each other's their I do's? "Can I get back to you on that? Unless you already have thought about who you want up there with you, which would give me a number of people I need to think of?" He attempted to bargain as he looked at her with slightly pleading eyes. @aarinxduskin

You know, the last time that we kissed––  The only time that we kissed.  The only time that we kissed, I told you that I’d wait until you were ready, so I’m afraid to say, but this one’s on you. You’re gonna have to kiss me.  I’m not gonna kiss you, Jordan.

Aarin easily melted into the touch of Marcel. It was easy to be distracted by him, especially as his lips met her own. "I know you do," she wrinkled her nose with a smile. "It is an option," she smiled at him as he wrapped his arm around her. "I love the way you think," it was a thoughtful offer to include the children, so long as the parents wanted to bring them with. It gave them an out, should they see one necessary. "How many people total are you having be groomsmen?" Aarin figured it would be pertinent to have an idea of how many ladies she had to include on her side. @marcelvaughn

Marcel smirked as he cupped her jaw, letting the pad of his thumb gently caress her chin while his lips found their way back to meet with hers, "I do try." He mumbled against her lips before he pulled back, not wanting to get too distracted considering they were trying to be productive here. She was just always making it hard for the man to keep his focus, always had. "Does that mean it is an option?" He chuckled, though he figured he knew the answer. "I love you too." He told her, letting his arm drop to rest around her while his fingers played with the hem of her jumper. "Hm.." He pondered, "I don't mind. I think having kids there could be cute? But then again do you think the parents might want a break? I don't know, maybe we could leave it up to the parents and have them include it in the rsvp?" @aarinxduskin

"I am sure you both are going to have the best time, your family traditions coming back alive and all." Aarin knew that it was important that families had them and she wondered what kinds of traditions that her and Marcel would have, especially considering she wouldn't have either of her parents around to see her become a mother one day. "I know exactly who to go to if we need road trip plans," she smiled at Grace, "how are things with you otherwise?" @gracecheung

"They really are. It's been so long since I've seen them too." She had missed going on road trips and taking her son on one this upcoming summer would be the first since her dad passed. It was going to be weird, but she wanted to keep that tradition going. "Well, if you want any help, I'm great at giving suggestions. Especially if you want a road trip honeymoon." @aarinxduskin

"Well aren't you a charmer," Aarin's cheeks were flushed with his words because while she was teasing him, she couldn't stop thinking about how in love she was with the man that was sitting on the couch next to her. Her nose wrinkled as his pointer finger poked the tip of her nose, causing her to smile. "You make a very tempting offer," she jested, knowing that they'd get flack from all their friends and family if they opted to forgo a wedding altogether. "I love you," Aarin leaned in, pressing her lips against his cheek a moment before pulling back, "Are we thinking kids or no kids at the wedding?" @marcelvaughn

Marcel took a sip off of his coffee, before placing it down onto the table in front of them, stretching his arm out to fold it around his fiance's shoulders, before looking back over at her. "I already have everything I could ever dream of." He smiled at her, grinning when he realized just exactly how cheesy that sounded. "The only thing I desire is you." He added, as if it hadn't already been obvious, before using his other hand to gently poke the tip of her nose while chuckling, "We could get married right here on this couch if that is what you wanted." He added, though he was being serious. @aarinxduskin

"I know that you will," she smiled at Marcel before nodding her head, "Okay," she typed out the younger brother's name before placing the phone in her lap, but not before locking the screen. "You know this wedding should be everything you could ever dream of as well," she told him, "I want us to have the best wedding for both of us," Aarin placed her hand on his knee, "so if you have any wild desires for the wedding, don't forget to pitch them," her hand squeezed against his knee before she wrinkled her nose with a smile, looking up at him. @marcelvaughn

Marcel nodded in agreement, glad Aarin seemed up for the idea of at least trying on their own. "That sounds like a good plan to me." He smiled back at his wife to be. "Yeah, exactly!" He said, "But I really do want you to have everything you could ever dream of, so like if you do feel like we might need one, let me know and I'll--" He paused. "Figure it out." He reassured her. When she mentioned his younger brother, he nodded slowly, "I mean, yeah--" He shrugged, "He is my only brother. Whether or not he'll actually show up is another story, but at least that will be up to him." @aarinxduskin

#aarin duskin || threads #threads || w. marcel vaughn

[aarinxduskin]

"We can see how we fare without one," Aarin suggested to him, "and if we get in over our heads, we always have the option." At the very least, the two of them could get a decent head start on the wedding planning. "That way we don't have to rush into any decisions with the pressure of a wedding planner." Aarin typed a few more names into her phone as she thought of people for the guest list, "are you wanting to invite Chase?" Her gaze lifted from her phone towards her future husband, chewing on the bottom of her lip in case he wasn't keen on the idea. @marcelvaughn

Marcel wasn't opposed to the idea of hiring someone, he even thought it a good idea considering people did say that planning a wedding was the most stressful part and could either make of break a relationship and it was safe to say he only wanted the best for Aarin. Though the moment she mentioned Alice's name, he made a slight grimace before looking at her. "Really?" He asked, not sure if he was keen on having his best friends ex girlfriend plan his wedding. "Damn.. I mean.. We could maybe try without one? Or would you prefer we hire one?" He added out of curiosity. Maybe it was time he tried to bury the hatchet with Alice after all. @aarinxduskin

"All of that sounds amazing," Aarin grinned as Grace spoke of what she wanted to do. "I bet those are some amazing views." She could only use what she had seen in photographs. "I guess that means I'm going to have to start thinking of honeymoon locations too," she laughed with the realization, "I knew there was a lot that went into wedding planning but there is a lot." @gracecheung

"That you have. I'm so glad to get to see it all too." She said with a smile. She was truly so happy for her friends and glad they were able to be this happy together now. "Well, I was thinking of starting at that amusement park just outside of Salem then maybe down the coast a little bit. Go into California, go see the Redwood forest." She shrugged. "We'll see from there." @aarinxduskin
