The Secret - Alexia Putellas

33.

Thank you Eliza!!!

Just as she did during the ceremony, Alexia exits through the grand doors of the historic building with tears in her eyes while holding her wife's hand.

With the beautiful little bridal bouquet in one hand, Erin clutches the brunette's fingers tightly while following her down the endless stairs, Martha and Nala trailing behind them.

"Holy shit... that was so beautiful. I can't believe this really happened!", an overwhelmed Martha, who hadn't stopped crying ever since the old registrar's speech, sniffles behind them, pulling a tissue out of her purse.

"Neither have I... I've never been so happy in my life", the blonde smiles at her wife, pulls the strong athlete towards her and tightly wraps her arms around Alexia's neck.

"Come here, Bonita", Alexia grins happily, still on the verge of tears as she holds Erin by the waist, tenderly connecting their lips.

Fading out the world around them, the couple quickly forgets everything, only the two of them matter in that moment.

It was perfect.

The blonde couldn't help but smile into the kiss, feeling her wife's soft lips against hers, before Alexia deepened the kiss first.

As if Erin weighed nothing, the captain lifts her up by the waist, her arms tightly wrapped around Erin as she kisses her wife.

Click.

"Wow, that's a beautiful picture. Can't wait for everyone to see it once you two reveal the secret", Martha exclaims behind them in excitement, putting her phone away as she reaches for the tissue again, her tears never stop running.

She didn't know she was so emotional.

"Get it together, Martha. You're not the one that just got married", Alexia chuckles as she sets Erin back down, bending over to pick up Nala, who had been tugging on her leg for a while now.

"I may not be the one getting married, but I'm the one with the champagne. So you better follow me to my car. This way, please", the black-haired waves enthusiastically as she approaches her car, opening the trunk to reveal a few bottles of the expensive champagne she had bought just before the event.

"Who's gonna drink all that? Did you invite some secret guests to celebrate our secret wedding?", Erin jokes, never letting go of her wife's warm hand as the two follow Martha towards the car.

"Well... I don't know about you, but I definitely need a drink right now. How about you, capitán?", Martha offers while opening the first bottle of champagne, pouring herself a glass.

"I guess I'll break my rule of not drinking during the season for this occasion", Alexia shrugs and reaches for the glass.

"Ah, this is my friend. Can't say no to a free drink, can you?", the black-haired grins as she pours a little more into Alexia's glass, filling it to the brim.

"You sure you're not talking about yourself, Martha?", Erin chuckles as she gets a glass out of the trunk as well, holding it up for her friend to fill it up as well.

"You know I am", she shrugs as she pours the blonde's glass as well, before holding up the bottle.

"I'm... so damn happy for you two and your journey. You're truly perfect for each other and I wish you only the best. Don't mess this up, I signed for this. Cheers", Martha smirks as she clinks her bottle with the two glasses, before drinking a fair amount of champagne.
