77. The Wedding (Part 3)-4

The photographer spoke "Sir, could your lady throw the bouquet of flowers at the door. I will get the girls." Francesco nodded. Photographer quickly shouted to gather all the single girls in a line behind Adele. She had completely forgotten about this tradition. Adele closed her eyes and threw the bouquet behind her. She then quickly turned around and saw Anna with the bouquet of flowers in her hand. She then laughed as she saw Antonio was loudly arguing with Arturo about why he had blocked Georgina. Adele smiled and walked outside with Francesco only to be stopped by Sofia, Pietro's pregnant wife. Sofia blocked them with a vase in her hand. Sofia insisted " Adele, break this vase." Adele questioned "why?" Sofia spoke " All newlyweds do that. You must shatter a wine glass or vase. The broken pieces will be counted. This would represent the number of years you will be married happily." Adele spoke " Can't we not do this. It is such a nice vase. I can't break it." Francesco took away the vase from Sofia " We will take it with us and decide if we want to break it. Good night aunt Sofia." He then grabbed Adele's hand and side stepped his aunt leading Adele to the exit. He couldn't wait to leave the party and start his married life with his beloved. A vase was nothing to him. Suddenly Sofia shouted "Ow. It's coming. The baby is coming." Adele and Francesco turned to look at Sofia who was bent forward rubbing her stomach as guards shouted for Pietro. Francesco whispered "Lets go." Adele spoke "Wait. is she ok? I can help." Then Angelo, Anna and Pietro came out alongside the Don and his wife. Francesco spoke "See. A doctor and a midwife are here. We can go." Adele and nodded. They left hand in hand making their way towards the building where they were to spend their wedding night at. Adele was lead to a building which was meant to house their wedding suite. It was decorated with lights and ribbons so it stood out as the place Adele was going to spend her first night of married life with Francesco. Francesco put down the vase and picked Adele up and carried her inside the building bridal style as she had her arms wrapped around his neck. Once they stepped inside the house the aroma of roses hit Adele hard. The room was lit up with diamond like chandeliers. She saw roses everywhere and different fragrances filled the air from the scented candles. Francesco gently put Adele down onto the bed and stared at her with so much emotion in his eyes. He climbed on top of her and drowned her in his kisses. He then pulled away and sighed "Sweetheart, why are you shaking. I just want to hold you and kiss you. I would never hurt you. Can you relax abit." Francesco then laid down next to Adele and just held her waist in his hand as she turned to face him while laying on her side. She looked into his eyes "I am nervous. I cant help it." Francesco spoke "Look. Trust me. I would never hurt you. Ever. You look tense and pale sweetheart. Don't worry." Francesco then took a deep breath and ran his hands up and down her waist "You are so beautiful." Francesco and Adele laid next to each other staring into each others eyes. Adele reached her hand up to his chest "You are so handsome." Francesco smiled "Really? Why do I feel you are still shaking. Sweetheart, I want you to try and relax. I am going to help you relax. I hope you don't mind." Adele spoke " How? By giving me a massage? You are not good at giving me a massage." Francesco laughed "You are so innocent.." Adele spoke quickly as she got up from the bed "I am going to .... get changed to my pyjamas now. Is that ok?" She got up from the bed and walked to her wardrobe but she gasped as Francesco appeared in front of her and without warning lifted Adele up in his arms bridal style. He carried her to a different room. Adele asked "Where are we going?"
