my wife

chapter 48

"Can't we sit down, even for 10 seconds?", please say yes. My feet are killing me. These are 12cm heels, Emilio.

"One last table. There's a little surprise too.", what is he talking about. He knows how much I hate surprises, but it's my wedding nothing can ruin my mood. That happened this morning when I felt like everything was going wrong. Anyways, I'm getting off topic.

"Surprise."

"Oh my god, Mary. I thought you were in Italy.", wasn't she visiting her family?

"What do you think? Of course I came back early. How could I ever miss your wedding reception?", she such a cutie.

"I think this is a good moment to introduce you two. Ivy, this is the Mary I've told you about. Mary, this is Ivy my best friends slash bridesmaid. Now, if you excuse me, I need to sit down for 10 seconds."

"Okay bye.", Mary and Ivy say at the same time.

I wave them with my free hand while heading to my table.

"I'm so hungry.", my stomach starts growling.

"Luckily I know my wife and I'm prepared.", he pulls a bag of chips out of his smoking.

"Oh my god, I love you.", I grab the bag and shove the chips into my mouth.

"Saying things like 'husband', 'wife' or even 'I love you' feels different now, doesn't it?"

"It does. But that's because we're actually married now.", he smiles. That smile that I love.

"So we weren't married before?", I challenge him.

"Don't be like that. C'mon we're up in two."

"Hi everyone. We have something to announce. You guys know that Emilio and I don't share our last name, and since neither of us wants to give up theirs...", I started the speech.

"From now on we are Mr. and Mrs. Bello-Romano. We're keeping both names and made it into one. And now the long awaited father daughter dance.", Emilio announces.

Yes, that's right I'm Mrs. Bello-Romano now. I wanted us to share our last name but he's a Romano and I'm a Bello so we combined it. Cool isn't it?

"Hi dad.", we start swaying to the music.

"Hello, sweetie."

"How are you doing, dad.", he looks different. I don't know what changed but he seems happier?

"My little girl got married. I'm overjoyed yet very sad. When your child gets married it just hits you. They're grown ups now. Watching you guys grow was the best, it's a gift to have you as my child, Eliana."

"Oh dad, why do have to say that, I'm gonna cry again."

"Honey, I know this is our wedding night, but I'm tired.", I fall onto the bed. The last few hours of our wedding was just drinking. I'm really dizzy and tired right now.

"I'm wasted... let's do it tomorrow. I couldn't even get it up right now I'm sorry honey.", he unzips the dress freeing me from this tight thousand kilogram fabric.
