THE WEDDING

They’d been in Italy a week now, one more and they’d be returning for the final three months of uni. When she arrived back she’d be married and have his name. Mrs. Robustelli. She still couldn’t believe she was going through this neither could Laina. She told her she could back out at any time but she’d chose not to.

Her wedding dress was white with diamonds drawing the full length of the dress. Her white sandals held a five inch heel. She hoped she could walk straight to the wedding and reception, which was to be held in the garden so the Swimming pool had been covered, so that there were no drunken accidents.

Liana wore a red sequin dress as she was told she was the bridesmaid. Their hairs were braided differently so they could tell them apart she was shutting bricks. Castillo had agreed to give her away as her father was not happy with their marriage.

They stepped out of the room Castillo smiled. ‘You look gorgeous.’ He said peking her cheek. He let her take his arm and they walked through the house. Liana behind them walked up the aisle. A red carpet to the vicar Gianni looked at her and smiled. Liana took her seat, Castillo stood beside Alora and the ceremony began, they exchanged rings and kissed passionately. He moved away. ‘I can’t wait to get you out of this later.’ He smiled winking, he took her hand and led her down the red carpet. Confetti spraying over them.

Many pictures were taken before they entered the reception. A large space that seated over a hundred people. Under the large tent, food spread across one side of the tent. The stage at the other.

They greeted their guests before the speeches then food was served. Alora steeped out sitting in the swinging bench and he sat beside her. ‘When I saw you with him I thought you were really going on a road trip with him.’

She looked at him. ‘Raven.’

He smiled . ‘Guess I should’ve known better. We’ve known each other four years and he still manages to keep a straight face when lying.’ He continued. ‘I was surprised it was you when you walked down the alter.‘

‘You were there ?’

‘Of course. I wouldn’t miss my closet friends weeding, though it did come as a shock when he asked us all to the wedding and more when he asked us to play at the reception.’

She smiled. ‘What’s he like?’

‘I thought you knew each other?’

‘We did. I haven’t seen him in six years and I know nothing about him.’

‘He’s a good man Alora. He has a good head on his shoulders. He had his own business he’s taking over from his father, but I guess he’ll fill you in on that himself.‘

‘I guess.’

‘So why are you out here?’

‘I need to breathe.’

‘I understand it’s been along day yeah.’

‘Yeah it has.’

‘There you are.’

She looked up and smiled. ‘May I steal my wife away from you.’

‘You may we have to set up.’ He looked at Alora and smiled walking away.

Gianni pulled her close. ‘So what did Raven say?’

‘Not much just he was surprised that you were marrying me.’

‘I wanted it to be a surprise. I’ll have to watch the video I bet his face was priceless.’ He laughed.

He moved forward pressing his lips on hers kissing her passionately.

He moved away. ‘Come on I bet the band is already set up and we can have our first dance.’

He took her hand leading her away. The band did a sound check and began with the first song, their wedding dance. He pulled her close, dancing slowly, leaned her forward, smiling, pulling her back up, spinning her around, holding her close, pressing his lips on hers, kissing her passionately.

The guitars changed chords and they pulled away from each other. They’d had a few drinks and they went back to dancing. He held her thighs as she danced erotically against him.

He closed the door of their bedroom behind them pressing his lips on hers kissing her passionately with tongue unfastening the ties holding her into the dress pulling it over her head then talking his suit off dropping it to the ground pressing his lips back on hers kissing her passionately with tongue, wrapping her legs around him thrusting deep inside her she groaned as he thrusted harder as they came. He carried her over to the bed and her shoes fell to the floor. He kicked off his shoes lying her in the bed continuing their night of passion.
