77. The Wedding (Part 3)-5

Francesco spoke "To cool off." Adele gasped as she noticed that the room next door had an indoor pool and surprisingly had a lit up fire place in the room which warmed up the place. Francesco whispered in a husky tone "From now on, your pain is my pain and your happiness is my happiness too. We are husband and wife now. If you are nervous and shaken up, I will do anything to help you loosen up." As Francesco was standing next to the pool, Adele gripped his neck tighter "Are you going to drop me in there?" Francesco chuckled "No darling. We jump together. Where you go, I go. I would never let you go." He then jumped with her into an indoor pool as she was in his arms. Adele screamed as she didn't expect to end up in the water suddenly as she was still safely in Francesco's arms. But Francesco just laughed and then slowly let go of her. As Adele was put down on her feet in the pool, she started walking backwards from Francesco and complaining " Why did you make us wet?" Francesco walked to Adele and spoke "Sweetheart. This is just to help you relax." Adele's back hit the side of the pool and Francesco used the opportunity to put his hands on either side of her on the sides of the pool and cage her on. He spoke " Sweetheart you are now standing on the perfect spot where we have access to everything we need. Do you like red or white?" Adele looked at him with questioning eyes " What do you mean?" Francesco spoke " Look at the trays behind you." Adele looked behind her and saw trays stuffed with peeled off and chopped up pineapple and strawberries. She also saw trays of champagne and red wine and white wine. She turned around and sighed " No wine for me. I prefer some fruit juice." Francesco raised an eyebrow " Sweetheart, red or white. There is no choice of soft drinks. It's our wedding night tonight and you definitely need some alcohol. I choose for us then. Red it is." He then without moving from his closeness to Adele reached for a wine glass and grabbed a red wine bottle. He then poured some wine and offered if to Adele to take. Adele spoke " If you weren't going to let me choose why did you ask me about it?" Francesco poured himself wine and spoke " Sweetheart. I am your husband. I am supposed to make you happy. But I know if you don't have some alcohol you will be unhappy by the time our wedding night is over. I think you should see yourself in a mirror. You are shaking and you look worried. You don't need to be concerned. If you relax it would help alot. Here let's do a toast to our wedding." He then held up his glass and Adele touched her glass to his and spoke " I want to be aware of what's going on around me tonight. I have a very low tolerance to alcohol. What if I get drunk and not feel anything. What if I forget what happens tonight." Francesco chuckled " That's the idea sweetheart .... Only joking. You won't forget anything. I won't make you drink that much. Now don't worry. Drink up baby." Adele drank her wine slowly as Francesco was drinking his. He finished his drink first and got a bit closer to Adele as she was drinking her wine. He put his hands on the pool side again at either side of her and looked into her eyes intensely. Adele finished drinking. Francesco took the glass off her and put it next to his own empty glass at the side. He then wrapped his arms around Adele's waist while still staring intensely at her. Adele swallowed hard. She whispered " It still makes me nervous when you look at me this way." Francesco smiled " I still feel as alive as I did back when I first saw you and staring into your eyes makes me feel so happy that I can't describe to you. I am sorry I make you nervous but you are the reason for my happiness. You are the only one that I want to see when I enter a crowded room. You are the only one I want." He then slowly leaned closer and kissed Adele's lips. He then murmured " I love the feel of your lips. Roses are not as good but come close. So I have to do this." He then reached over to a basket with one hand and threw the contents of the basket inside the pool. Adele gasped " Rose petals.... That's very sweet." Francesco turned around and grabbed her waist tightly and frowned " Not as sweet as the feel of your lips." He then leaned closer and kissed her gently. When he pulled away he spoke " I think we can start getting changed. Don't you?" He then stepped away and started unbuttoning his shirt. He then took off his trousers and left his clothes at the side of the pool. He was now only in his shorts. He then walked to Adele and whispered " Why are you frozen in your spot baby. Do you need help?" Adele nodded and turned around. Francesco slowly unzipped the back of her dress. She had a mini silk dress underneath her wedding dress. Francesco closed his eyes and he ran his hands on her white silk mini dress under her red dress . He took a deep breath whispering " You are killing me here sweetheart. This small silky dress make you look irresistible and I haven't even seen the front. Adele pulled away and took off the rest of her wedding dress. She placed her wedding dress at the side of the pool and turned around. Her breath hitched as she saw the expression on Francesco's face. He looked as though he was under a spell. He was standing in his spot unmoving looking at Adele with so much passion in his eyes but there was fire there too. Plenty of it. Adele wasn't sure how to calm that fire. She smiled weakly and spoke " Say something. Are you ok?" Francesco walked to Adele and was looking at Adele up and down. He slowly ran his hands up and down her waist on the silky material. He then started kissing side of her head as he whispered " Do you know how beautiful you are. You are my angel. I promise to honour you, cherish you and protect you. Do you trust me? Do you trust me to take care of you." As Francesco pulled away while resting his hands on her waist, Adele blushed as she slowly reached up her hands on his chest and spoke " I am .... ready to trust you fully. We exchanged wedding vows. I think I am ready after all this time and I love you." She then saw the change in Francesco's expression. He smiled his brightest smile. His eyes were full of love and happiness. He whispered back " I never thought I will have you like this. I love you too Sweetheart. My angel. My love." He then leaned over and kissed Adele as he reached his hands up and down her back rubbing circles. As Adele though he was not going to stop, he did. Francesco pulled away reluctantly and spoke " Are you sure about this sweetheart. As much as I want us to have a wedding night, I can wait.... It would hurt alot to stop now but I can wait longer. I waited for you for ten years. I can wait abit longer if you are not ready. I don't want to hurt you by forcing you to do anything." Adele reached her hand up and held his face in hers and spoke " I am sure about this. I want this." Francesco kissed her forehead and spoke " Thank you. Just leave it all to me to do everything tonight. I would take care of you....... But before we get there, I think some more champagne is what you need. You need to relax. I still can see you are a bit nervous." Adele spoke " I don't want to get drunk. Then I won't remember anything." Francesco spoke " That won't matter. If you forget anything tomorrow we can always have a repeat..... Tonight nothing will be between us. Literally. But we have plenty of time. Lets enjoy ourselves abit longer before we get dried up and go to bed. We will share some special moments tonight in bed and our bond would become stronger but before that, lets hold each other and talk. Don't hold back your words. I certainly wont. Talk to me about anything. Ask me anything. I will tell you the truth. I have so much to ask you. I know that." Francesco walked away and turned on the music on a gramophone at the pool side. He then came back to Adele and held her waist in his as she put her hands on his shoulders. They then started dancing together inside the pool as they kissed and whispered heart felt words to each other. Their night was just starting and it looked perfect already.
