"Did you put the cake in the fridge?" I asked Fumiko. I baked one this morning. Chocolate one with white frosting and decorated with small writing on top. On Asahi's request.

"Yes, it's in the fridge." I nodded and proceeded to mix the salad and then pour it into cute bowls that I bought specifically for today.

I loved decorating the house and buying accessories. It was one of my new hobbies you could say.

Everything was already prepared, only the minor details. Asahi and Isamu placed the table and chairs and me and Fumiko were done with the food.

I grabbed two bowls and walked outside. The skirt of the dress flowed around me. For today I chose a simple baby pink summer dress that reached below my knees. It had thin straps and it tightened around my waist and the rest of it was loose around my legs.

"Is this okay?" Asahi pointed to the lights when I stepped outside.

"Perfect." I nodded twice as I put the salads on the table. The sun was slowly setting and the guests were supposed to start arriving. Everyone we invited was going to be here. No one declined the invitation which I was more than thankful for.

Ismau was setting the candles and I can say that it was my first time seeing him this relaxed. He was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. Never would I thought I'd see him like this. He was usually in his suit with a broody expression on his face.

Also, I didn't realize that he was tattooed this much. There was almost no place on his skin that was not covered in ink.

Asahi on the other hand was dressed in a white shirt and grey pants. His hair was lazily tossed back and he had a silver thin chain swaying around his neck.

"They should be here soon." He said after he checked his phone.

"Yes, Areli said that she and Henrik are on their way. They'll probably be here in five to ten minutes."

"What about Josh?" Asahi asked.

"He called earlier and said that he will be here soon as well. But he's taking Ares with him so I guess he needed more time to prepare." Josh had been so excited when I invited him and I was glad that he was going to be here.

Also, Angel probably missed Ares. She was used to seeing him almost every day.

Asahi nodded and ran a hand through his hair.

I turned to Isamu and gestured 'thank you'. He gave me a very quick smile and continued with his work. Because Isamu lived close and we were going to be seeing all the time, I asked Asahi if he could teach me the basics of sign language.

I wanted to be able to communicate with him as well. Even though he was hearing just fine, I felt better to be able to use his language and also be able to understand him.

When me and Asahi have children, I want them to be able to understand their uncle Isamu. It was only fair.

"Eva, should I bring the lemonade?" I heard Fumiko's voice from the kitchen and I hurriedly walked over there.

When I got inside, I made my way towards her. She pushed her side bangs back and turned to me.

"We'll take the lemonade when they arrive, it's better when it's cold." She agreed and I leaned my hip on the counter. Even though I was tired, I was excited for everyone to get here.

I woke up at 6 am and immediately started prepping the food.

Fumiko arrived here at 9 am and helped me. It was the first time seeing her in a cute summer dress in a pale yellow color. She looked adorable.
