CHAPTER 43
SIX MONTHS LATER
Wedding Day
Isadora’s POV
I woke up to Rafael smiling like a goofball. He peppered my face with kisses then did the same to my belly. I feel Aurelia kick in the right spot and wince, sucking my teeth.
“Ugh, you just had to wake her up.” I shook my head.
“Sorry baby but you do know what today is right?” Hmm lets mess with him a little bit. “A normal Saturday?” His grin turned into a frown and he glared at me.
“Don’t play with me like that kiten. You may be pregnant but that will not stop me from spanking that ass of yours until its glowing red. Would you like to have a bright red ass ahowing through your dress as you walk down the isle?” He smirked.
“I was just teasing you.” I said and he kissed me.
“You’re gonna wish you hadn’t done that kitten. You know how I feel about you teasing me.” He whispered into my neck as he lightly kissed over my weak spots he knew would make me moan and shiver. He pulled away and Isigh in frustration, rolling my eyes.
“I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that and go get ready. My mom, aunts, Josie and Nessa should be here to help soon.” I nodded. He kissed me and kisses Aurelia before leaving. As I waddle out of bed in odd angles, Gabriella and everyone else came in.
“Today’s the day! My baby boy is getting married!” I giggle at her excitement.
“Do you think any of the other boys will get married?” Nadi asked curiously.
“Rico and Javi maybe. I can see them getting married to some nice girls.” I smiled. “AIfie and Ish may have some trouble though.” Esme added.
“Why would my babies have trouble finding a good girl like Isa?” Gabriella asked with a hand on her hip.
“Alfe and Ish are the hit it and quit it type. They’l fuck a girl and blow her off the next day, or until they feel the need to curb their urges again.” Josie said.
“What!? “Gabriella gasped. “They better not be doing some shit like that! I taught them better than that!”
” You can discipline them later Gabbi. Right now we need to get Isa ready! Everyone has been arriving since early this morning and we dont have much time to get ready”Nadi said and Gabriella nodded.
–Hours Later–
After finally getting my dress, my hair, makeup and shoes on .. I was ready. Ready to marry the love of my life. Emiliano walked on and almost cried.
“You look absolutely beautiful my dear.” He bent down and kisses my cheek.
“Thank you Emil.”
“Please, call me dad or papa like Mirella does. You have been considered part of the family since the day Rafael brought you home.” He smiled warmly. Since I didnt have my parents, hearing him say that made me tear up.
“Oh no you don’t! I will blister your ass if you ruin your makeup! Pregnant or not, you will get bent over my knee!” Gabriella shouted and waved a finger at me.
“Yes mama.” I giggled. Her anger turned into joy in less than a second. Its terrifying whe she does that.
“Okay okay! Lets get you down the isle!” Josie squealed. I nodded excitedly. You would think in a situation like this I would be nervous, but I’m not. My heart may be pounding and fluttering wildly, but it’s definitely from excitement, not nerves. Everyone but Emiliano left. He cleared his throat and held out his arm. I took it.
“Please don’t let me fall dad.” I whispered.
“I got you sweetheart. I may be old but I’m stronger than I look.” He winked. When we get outside, my eyes immediately find Rafael walking down the stairs to take his place at the alter.
Fuck he looks yummy! I see him smile as he spots Mirella walking down in a beautiful little white dress, throwing petals to either side of the isle. When she reached him, he picked her up and kissed her cheek before giving her to Gabriella. When he looked back and saw me his eyes lit up. Everyone gasped and stood as the music began to play and Emiliano and I started walking. I couldn’t keep my eyes off him. This is it .. the man who stole my heart, soul, body and mind, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. When we get to the alter, Emiliano kissed my cheek before taking his seat next to Gabriella and Mirella.
“You look stunning my love.” He said taking my hand and kissing it.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“And you look yummy” I whispered and winked. A devilish grin appeared on his face. As everyone sat down and the music stopped, the pastor began.
“Dear family and friends, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Rafael Santigo Montez and Isadora Fiorella Cortez in holy matrimony.” He turned to Rafael. “The rings?” I turned to Josie and Rafael turned to Cass. Holding our rings in our hands, the pastor continued and looked at me. “Do you Isadora, take Rafael to be your husband. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer for sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part?
“I do.” I smiled.
“Do you Rafael, take Isadora to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part “I do.” He smiled. “Please exchange the rings.” I took Rafael’s hand and slid the ring onto his finger, kissing his knuckles. He took my hand and did the same. “Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now you will feel no loneliness, for each of you will be a companion for the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead of you and all through your years. May happiness be your companions and your days together be good and long upon the earth. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” Rafael grabbed my face and kissed me hard. Everyone cheered and clapped.
“Now you are mine forever.” He whispered. “Baby, I was yours forever the day I told you I love you.” I smiled and he kissed me again.
