Our Love Will Never Die

Chapter Seven

"Ow..ow.." I quietly grunt as she tightens the corset. God, how do women wear these things. "¿Está bien señorita?(Are you alright miss?)" The maid that was helping me dress asked. Armando has been teaching me some Spanish so I could understand what people were saying and hold a decent conversation. "Sí, estoy bien. Gracias.(Yes, I'm okay. Thank you.)" I told her. I am so nervous. I feel a bit sick. Don't get me wrong, I am so excited to be marrying Armando in just a couple hours, but it's still kind of nerve racking. I try and calm my nerves by taking deep breaths in and out..... Well, as much as I could in this corset. It took a while, with all the layers and everything, but I was finally ready and dressed. "¿Puedo tener un momento para mí, por favor?(May I have a moment to myself please?)" I asked the two maids. "Por supuesto señorita.(Of course miss.)" They said before making their way out the room. I took a deep breath in then out. "Okay. Calm down. Calm." I say to myself, closing my eyes and trying to calm my racing nerves. I walk over to the large mirror that was on the wall and look at myself. "Wow." I say, as I run my hands over my wedding dress, a gorgeous silk material. "It's beautiful.. I actually look...... Beautiful." I say to myself, shocked at my own reflection. I was ripped from my thoughts when I heard a knock at the door then a voice calling for me. Telling me that it was time.

Armando's POV

Finally. The day that I marry mi amor is here. Soon, she will be my wife and I will be her husband. I thought the day she agreed to be my wife was the happiest of my life. But I think today might be better. Today, she becomes my wife.

I take my place, waiting for Lilliana to start walking down the isle towards me. We are getting married in the courtyard in the middle of the town. I look up and that's when I see her. The moment I lay eyes on her, she took my breath away. Mi ángel. Sent down from the heavens by god himself. I watch her as she slowly makes her way to me, the smile never leaving either of our faces. When she reaches me, I notice a tear falling down her cheek. I bring my thumb to her cheek and wipe it away. "Happy tears." She whispers to me. As we say ours vows, I start to tear up myself. "I do." She says. I let a wide smile fill my face. Then it is my turn. "I do." I say. "Ahora os declaro marido y mujer. Puede besar a la novia.( I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride.)" And with that I pull in my bride and we share a kiss. "Te amo, Armando." Lilliana whispers to me as our lips part. "Yo también te amo, Liliana.(I love you too, Lilliana.)" I whispered back.

After the celebrations were over it was almost nightfall. Lilliana and I make our way back home. The whole time the smiles never leaving our faces and her hands never leaving mine.

Back to Lilliana's POV

I'm married. I'm married! I don't think I could ever be happier than I am right now. We are in the carriage, almost home. I'm not going to lie... I am very nervous about tonight. Armando will be my first. Just breathe. Everything is going to be okay. We both love each other. It's going to be okay. I lean my head on Armando's shoulder and let out a happy sigh. Armando responds by kissing the top of my head and letting me know we should be home in just a few minutes.

---------Back home---------

Armando held out his hand for me to take, to help he out of the carriage. We were silent while walking up to the door. When we got to the door All of a sudden I was picked up off of the ground. I let out a small yelp of surprise then laughed and Armando joined in, laughing himself. As we got inside he still carried me.. .All the way to the bedroom. The nerves came back a little bit but, I wasn't as nervous as before. When he put me back down I turned to him, both smiling at each other. I reached up and held his face. Just admiring my new husband. I slid my hands down to rest on his chest. "I'm nervous." I shyly admitted. He let out a small chuckle. "To be honest mi amore. I am nervous too. I just want to make sure everything is perfect for you." He told me. Gently cupping my face he placed a kiss on my forehead. "Let us relax for a while. There is no need to rush this." He said. I nodded. "Okay. Thank you for being so patient with me Armando." I said.

We just sat in front of the lit fire place for a while talking, laughing and drinking wine. Not too much, but just enjoying ourselves. We were cuddled up to each other when I decided that I was relaxed, my nerves were settled and I was ready. I looked up at him. I can see the love in his eyes when he looks at me. I'm pretty sure I am conveying the same love through mine. I reach up and held his face and moved closer, kissing him. As it went on it got more and more heated, passionate. He lifted me up and onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. After a few minutes I pull away, smile at Armando and stand up, holding out my hand to him. He took my hand and we walked over to the bed. I turned around, moved my hair out of the way and looked back at him. "Would you mind helping your wife unlace her dress?" I asked him. He smiled and gave a small chuckle. "Of course mi amor." He says. He unlaces my dress. When he is done I turn back around to face him. I slowly let my dress fall to the ground. It's not like I was naked or anything. I had my undergarments on. I saw Armando's eyes travel all over my body. A light blush covered my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. He picks me up and takes me onto the bed. He lays me down and is hovering above me. Our kisses become more and more passionate, exploring each others bodies with our hands. More and more clothes are coming off until, finally, we are naked.

The night went on as you would expect. For being my first time, it was amazing. Passionate. Armando is not a selfish lover, I learned. And he took his time. Afterwards, we were just laying there, cuddling. Our legs tangled together. My head on his chest and my left arm on his stomach with my hand resting on his chest, occasionally making little circles with my fingers. Armando had one arm around me and the other on his torso with his hand resting on my arm that was on his torso as well. We stayed like that. Tangled together, enjoying each other until we fell asleep.
