Chapter 14 First dance of Mr. and Mrs. Luca

CRIMSON LUCA My heart is beating so fast. I am having a second thought, I feel like what my grandfather said still rings in my head. What if I can have Isabelle back if I ll use that means and convince her along the way? "Oh, my bad. Here s the ring."-Tristan. That brakes my thought when he showed me her wedding ring. "My goodness, you almost forgot what you should do, Tristan."-I said. He laugh. "I m sorry okay?"-he said. I took the ring and put them in her ring finger. Her best friend steps in and showed her my wedding ring. She took it and wears it off my ring finger. Everyone claps their hand and give us a round of applause. "Well then, my godson. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your stunning wife."-godfather said. I take of her veil and look at her. She seems to be nervous. 'It feels like she wants to run away ever since she walks in the aisle. I held her cheeks and slowly move my face. When she close her eyes, I took that chance to kiss her. 'Oh my! Her lips was soft. This kiss taste like an orange, like her scent. Something feels different. My blood feels like their flowing backwards and my body feels hot all of a sudden. I slowly parted from her lips. "Congratulations and best wishes!"-they all said. They even stood up and clap their hands happily. She is blushing and we both face them. We give a smile and I hope they didn t see any weird feelings about my smile. The banquet had started. The cruise had sailed since everyone is present inside. I pulled the chair. Of course, we are facing our guest. "At last, I almost run away."-she mumbled. "Just like what I thought, you express them in your eyes."-I said. She drink some water smoothly. I suddenly remember when the doors open. She is stunning and I feel like butterflies had rush in my stomach. Her think make-ups suit her personality and her beauty. She look at me. "Do I look weird on this make-up." "No. You look stunning."-I said. Her eyebrow arches. "Oh please, give me a break."-she said. That made me laugh and drink the champagne. "Don t be nervous. Remember that tonight is our wedding night, Mrs. Crimson Luca."-I said. I am teasing her and she give me that weird gaze. "Wedding night, huh?"-she said. "Have you forgotten your promise? You said you will do your best to satisfy me in bed."-I said. She gulp. ROSELYN JENSEN-LUCA I feel like my neck stiffens and I end up gulping and take another sip of water. Wedding night! Oh my. "Be prepared, Mrs. Luca."-he said with a teasing smile written in his lips. My knee suddenly shaken and turn into jelly. 'I should have run while I can! Aahhh! "Congratulations and best wishes!"-the two said. Alona and Tristan seems to be in that sweet dating stage. Unlike the two of us. "Thank you."-I said. They propose a toast. I took the juice and made a toast with them. "You re not drinking that champagne?"-Tristan. "She s not drinking any alcoholic drinks. Even in social gatherings."-Alona. "Oh, I see."-he said. "This is the first time that I saw you with Roselyn s best friend. But I guess there is something more between you two. How far did I lost from the pages?" "I ll tell you some other time."-he said. "We ll go back in our table. Have fun."-Alona. She even wink on me. I just sigh, she is always been a happy-go-lucky but at least she s not a spoiled brat. "What s with that face?"-he ask. I suddenly look at him. The spoon stays in my mouth. "What face? Do I look weird? Is it the make-up?" "Nope. It s just that your face tells me that you wanted to run away."-he said. "I m not…sure. I don t know if this decision is the best for my situation. I knew myself that I m not good in this kind of lifestyle."-I said. "Come to think of it, we have 10 years age-gap isn t it? That day I acted as your wife, that s my 20th birthday celebration. Today, is this your 30th or 31st birthday celebration?"-I ask. "My 30th and yes, we have a 10 years age gap. Ah, they started to play a song. Why don t we dance and first? Maybe we can shake off that nervousness that you have."-he said. He give me his hand. I look on his palm, his eyebrow arches and signed to held his hand. I put my palm and he help me to stood up. "Here s our newlywed, everyone let s give them this first song. The next one will be for everyone."-Tristan. He grab my hand and my waist. We started to dance, good thing I knew to dance because of dad. He always dance with us. I always admire how sweet they always be even if they re been together for 20 years. I bent down and lifted my feet. We almost kiss when he held me up. I feel like his eyes is drawing me closer. We continued to dance and then he hold my hand high and turn around three times. CRIMSON LUCA She much slender than I thought. Her orange scent makes her beauty fresh and alluring. I held her back after she stops turning around. She put her hands on my chest. "Kissssss!"-they suddenly shout. I saw how nervous she is. I kiss her quickly. Her eyes opens widely in surprised. When the song ended, she suddenly ask to go in the bathroom. I knew she wanted to take some fresh air. I decided to follow her, I am standing next to the wall when she comes out. "Let s go outside. I knew you wanted to breath some fresh air as much as I do."-I said. She smiled and we went out. The fresh air touches our skin and she even raise her hand and smell the air. "Fresh air like this is refreshing. The city air is polluted and thin as well."-she said. She look back as she pin her back on the railings and look at the body of the cruise. I stood beside her and speak to her. "You are indeed rich Mr. Luca. You can have everything that you wanted in just a snap. Tell me, are happy with all the things that you have?"-she said. "Yes. Because I can be able to buy anything that I wanted. I can have everything that I desire." "I myself, has been contented with my life. We may not have everything and had an average life but maybe because I didn t feel like I have less in life. My dad is a great person and when we lose him it was a dark days for me and mom. Now, I don t want to lose my mom either. I am not ready yet." "I know that s why I am confident that you will say yes in the end of the day. Your love for your mother has been my weapon to win over you." "I know. Happy cooperation. Just tell me what I need to do while I m your contracted wife. After all the payment of this job is more than what I can save on my three jobs."-she said. "You are indeed a loving daughter. You will have a good future because you are striving at your best." "I ll take that as a compliment."-she said. "Process your enrollment for this upcoming semester. As for your mother, I will talk to Tristan to make sure that they will give the best care that she should have." "Thanks. I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life."-she said. She faces the sea and even look on the sky. Stars are bright and they seems to be many tonight. A shooting star suddenly draw in the sky. She put her palms together and close her eyes. 'I wish that her wish will come true. She opens her eyes again and take off the strand of her hair in her face. "Did you wish also?"-she ask. I just shrug shoulder. "Oh, I forgot. You have everything so you don t have any particular wish for yourself. Maybe you should ve pray for world peace."-she said. That made me laugh. "World peace? That s a cliché. For me I will be praying that everyone should be dwell in love and may evilness will runaway to each one of us." "Oh, I agree. World peace is indeed a cliché. Let s go back inside. They might notice that we re not there." "It s okay. They knew that we re newlywed. They will surely think that—you know."-I said. "Oh, yes. That."-she nodded and mumbled. She suddenly walk towards the beach beds. She lay down. "Can I ask questions about your parents?"-she ask. "No problem. Tell me, what is it?"-I ask. "I remember that I watch a news about a private plane who crash on a mountain on the southern area. A couple dies and it was your parents. What kind of parents they are?"-she said boldly. I smiled. "Just like your parents. They value sweetness and stay in love with each other since they re high school. They are the campus queen and king even in their college days. Mom is a caring woman who put us first even she is busy in her own career. She always remind dad on important events in my life. Birthday s, graduations and family gatherings in school or in the clan." "I see. That s why in the family picture that I saw on the wall, all of you had that happiness in your eyes." "At least I m grateful that they saw me graduating in college and working in our business before that accident happens. They are in a vacation on that time. How about your dad?"-I ask back. "He died because of an accident also. But because of his job as a taxi driver. Nonetheless, he is responsible, sweet and caring. He never let our family suffers from a poor kind of life. He might not offer a life like yours but he is still a best dad in the world for me." "I see. My grandma died three years after my parents die. Because of a breast cancer. That s why grandpa had established a cancer ward on the 13th and 14th floor of the hospital."-I said. "Speaking of Sir Robert. He seems to be a weird person but I also see how caring he is. He is like you, he is also had a cold personality." "He did. I hope you re not afraid of him."-I said. "Nope. But of course I still feel awkwardness whenever I speak to him. It s normal, right?" "Now I have to speak to you about an important matter. Let s talk inside."-I said. She is surprised to see how serious I am. She nodded and follow me.
