My Biggest Obsession

I couldn't believe I was getting married today. And I'll be stuck with the asshole forever. I was woken up at 5 A.M. this morning to get ready and I know now that I'm not a morning person. Erin finishes applying lipstick on my lips. My hair is done too, and shit when I look at myself in the mirror I don't even recognize me. I just have to slip into my dress now and enter my hell for the rest of my life.

"You're so pretty." Erin smiles, looking satisfied with her work.

"Mi hermosa hija..." (My beautiful daughter) My mother is on the verge of tears.

"Mamá, don't cry. It's alright." (Mom.) I replied to her, while she touched a strand of my hair.

"Now let's get you into your dress shall we?" Aurelia demanded me, holding the dress.
Let's do this.

✰

"Wow. You look like a princess." Aurelia complimented, eyeing me from head to toes.

My mother came to hug me and I hugged her back.

"Mom... I don't want to see you crying. It's going to be fine." I tried to reassure her.

"I know sweetheart... But... You're just so beautiful... I'm so proud of you, you know that?" She kissed my forehead.

"I know mamá... I know."

"Okay enough tears now..." She laughed, "It's time to go see your husband now."

I sighed.

You can do this Ivory.

Do it for your family.

I swallowed as Erin handed me my bouquet. There was no going back now.

✰

As the music began, I entered the church at my father's arm behind Erin and Aurelia. They were both dressed in an indigo blue dress. All of my family was there and Aace's family too. There were people I didn't even know but I didn't look at them. The bile raised up in my throat as I walked down the aisle. My heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears. I took a deep breath. You can do this.
We arrived at the altar and my father let me go. I didn't look at him, my gaze stayed on the floor.

"Hello everyone, we're here today to celebrate an alliance between two families." The priest began. "We're going to begin by the vows. Aace you may tell what are your vows for Ivory."

Aace took a small book and began to read with an annoyed tone, "I promise to cherish you, to help you, and to... Love you. In sickness, or health, in poverty or wealth. And I promise fidelity to you for eternity."

The priest handed me the book and I began to read in a shaky voice, "I promise to cherish you... To help you, to... Love you. In sickness, or health, in poverty or wealth. And I promise... Fidelity to you for... Eternity."

"Aace Dante Rossi, do you consent to take Ivory Sofia Carillo as your wife ?" The priest asked.

Let's get over this please.

"I do." The asshole answered without hesitation.

"Ivory Sofia Carillo, do you consent to take Aace Dante Rossi as your husband?"

I cleared my throat. "I... Do."

The second later I had my ring around my finger, and I was putting the one made for him on his finger, feeling his warm hand.

"You may now kiss the bride."

Oh. I forgot that. He's not going to do it right?

"Look at me." He whispered, and I did. I looked into his eyes and the second later he brushed his lips against mine. It just felt uncomfortable.

It was a kiss without emotion, without anything in it. It was just for the show, and the people here.

Yet it felt like it lasted an eternity.

✰

The night was going pretty well, and everyone was happy. Was I happy? I don't know. But I was eating macarons flavored strawberries. My favorites. It was 2 A. M. in the morning and I was fucking tired. I just wanted to go home. I yawned as Aace sat next to me.

"Enjoying macarons ?" He stared at them.

"Pretty much, yes."

"I tasted them before, I agree with you. They taste good." He nodded. And it was the most normal conversation we had since.... Well, forever. An awkward silence installed between us.

"You know... It was still a pretty wedding, don't you think?" Was he asking my opinion right now? What drug was he on?

"Yeah... Yes it was." I smiled and it seemed... Fake.

"You're tired ?"

"It's okay... I'm-"

"You want to go home?" And he seemed serious. He definitely took drugs.

"We can't leave our own marriage."

"Why not ?"

"Because... We're literally the people everyone wants to see." I told him, like it was an obvious thing, maybe because it was obvious.

"Practically everyone has already left. And it's the third time I see you yawning. If you want to go home, then we fucking go home. That's it."

I smiled. "Okay. Let's go home."

✰

I was so tired of walking all day I could barely stand on my feet, I was practically sleeping in the car. I heard the car door opening but I didn't mind opening my eyes. And soon after, I felt myself being lifted into his arms. My head fell on his chest as I recognized the smell of our apartment. My body was gently laid on a mattress as my heels were removed. It wasn't the couch and I knew it, because this one was way more comfortable.

Did he just... Put me in the bed?
Nevermind I was too tired to argue.

But maybe it was like that?

For one night we'd just be friendly people and the other day we'd hate each other again.

It was just how we functioned.
