The next day, he accompanied her in going home to tell her mother that he
wanted to get married to her.
Zeanne Leigh's mother was tongue
tied. Only her tears could tell that she's soundlessly crying.
The woman he chose to get married with through a whirlwind romance was the eldest among the six siblings whom
her mother was expecting to help her let
her other siblings to finish schooling.
Her mother was already a widow since
her father died only a year ago.
"It won't be a problem at all if you are worried about your other children's education. Leigh would still be able to
graduate."
Then Leigh's mother protested. "I am
not shameless to let you shoulder their
expenses in school."
He did not argue anymore with Leigh's
mother as he understood her heart ache
of the sudden marriage he was offering
to his eldest daughter.
After they had gone to Leigh's mother,
they went home to his parents' home to
introduce her to them.
He brought her in his bedroom while
they were waiting for his mother who
was at that time in her work. His room
Since he was still a baby witnessed how
he made love with her lovingly.
Knowing that Kelly brought along a
woman with him, his nanny instructed
their cook to prepare a food not only
for Leonor and the household staff but also Kelly and a lady with him.
At the dining table Leonor was overjoyed with the best news she had
heard that day.
"Nanny, kindly get my handbag."
When nanny gave her bag, she was very quick to pull out her cell phone and
dialed the number of her husband.
"Hon, I have a good news for you.
But you have to buy the hand bag I was
asking from you."
"Sweetheart you have to give me a
clue first before I promise you of it."
"The good news has something to
do with Kelly."
"Mmm..Is that so? Hey! Let me guess
....He has met her woman?"
"I hate you, hon for your guess."
"Am I right bhae, my one and only?"
"Kelly is here. I give the honour to tell
you the good news."
Kelly and Leigh were both smiling while listening to the conversation of
his parents.
"Dad, how are you?"
"I'm always fine son. But.. would be
more pleased with your good news."
"I'm getting married, dad. I have at last found her."
"Yes! Finally... my eldest son would
settle down. You have to prepare all the
required papers for your wedding."
"She's here with me dad. But.. You'll
wait till you come home."
"It's alright for me.Give back the phone to your mom."
"Hon? I miss you and I love you."
"I love you more sweetheart."
Leigh was amazed how loving this
man's parents were. In her heart and
mind she was wishing for the same kind
of married life they would have with Kelly.
Her whirlwind romance hadn't stopped to a mere boyfriend + girlfriend
relationship. At exactly one month after
her hymen was ruptured by Kelly, the most expensive and fantastic wedding of the year was witnessed by more than five hundred invited attendees.
If there were less than one hundred who attended Lizbeth's wedding, Kelly's was the complete opposite of it in terms of the crowd's size.
During the wedding, the dazzling beauty of her bride who was six years
younger than him splendidly caught the
attention of those who attended.
Melly and her husband were invited by
Kelly whom the latter would like to imply
that he had a wife hundred times prettier
than her.
With the jewelry he bought for her, the
gown that cost hundred thousands of money, and a huge cost for the unique decorations both in the church and the venue for the reception, the attendees were really charmed with the marvelous wedding ambiance. Not to mention
the amount he spent for the life sized
five layered cake in different flavours.
Likewise, the ever sharp-minded mestiza niece did not just catch the
attention of everybody with her looks
but with her sensible talkativeness.
"Uncle Kelly, is is true that you will
give me a handsome cousin like you?"
"It's true Liz. Are you going to play
with him?"
"I will always ask mom and dad to be
in your place."
"Sure, dear."
The tribute was hosted by Alken, the
youngest son of Kenneth and Leonor.
When Kenneth and Leonor gave their
speech it was all congratulatory to Leigh thanking her to tie the knot of his son who was once a playboy.
"Leigh, we are very thankful that you
had your school's choice choosing with your on the job training in Retro Hotel where you and my son met."
Then Leonor added to what Kelly had said. "Leigh, sweetheart, make our
son the luckiest man ever in his life. We
Would like to request a grandchild from
you as Liz Theomae was requesting to
have a cousin."
When it was time for Lizbeth to
deliver her speech, both her husband and her daughter were with her in front
the rostrum with the microphone.
"Zeanne Leigh Santos now you are
Zeanne Leigh Santos Lacandula. You are
most welcome to our family. Be yourself
and throw away your inhibition with my
brother, Kelly. We don't know if he would
be an outspoken husband because he used to be soft spoken child and sibling.
Likewise, you can always count on us so
we expect your openness to us."
Alken refused to deliver his speech as he was the host. Instead, he kissed his sister-in-law and his older brother, Kelly.
When the wedding dance was rendered, everybody was so carried away by the sweetness of the newly
wedded couple. They danced to the
tune of a traditional folksong that had enticed the primary and the secondary sponsors to pin an amount they would
like to give to the couple. They were not
the only ones who pinned a bill on their
Wedding attire but also those who were
showy attendees.
The wedding reception lasted for
several hours as there were several rites
that were observed by these two.
It was the suggestions of Kenneth and Leonor as they hadn't experienced a
flashy or ostentatious wedding.
Both the parents and their daughter,
Lizbeth experienced the simplest rite.
They decided that the catching of the
bouquet should be the last number in that wedding program. Many single girls
who were the school and classmates of the bride were present.
The moment that Kelly had been waiting for was when he was asked by the wedding Organizer to remove the garter with his mouth from the thigh of his bride.
He intentionally caressed the thigh of Leigh with his mouth before biting the garter to be pulled out of his brides leg without the help of his upper limbs.
He was so naughty to tease his wife as he knew his effect on her, and hers to him.
He did not wait till the garter would be worn to whoever lady who caught the bouquet by a bachelor who caught it.
He told everybody that they would be late for their flight when the truth was
their flight would be after lunch the next day.
He was so thrilled and excited to be alone with his wife whom he adored so much despite the very short period of time meeting her.
On their way to Retro Hotel where
his suite was on the last floor on top of
it, Leigh had related her admiration for his family.
She also told him her wish that their relationship being husband and wife be
similar to his parents'.
She also told Kelly that she wanted to be a career woman like his pretty older sister, Attorney Lizbeth Mae L. Smith.
She was so talkative that Kelly could not talk at all. It seemed to be a one-way
conversation.
However, Kelly was intentionally not talking to her as he liked her sweet soft voice because it reminded him the first time he slept with her.
During the traffic machine flashed its electric bulb in red colour, he turned on his mobile phone's gallery to remind her
how elated he has been because it was her first time with a man, and that man was he.
They used the elevator that was only
for him. No cctv camera was installed in
this. Aware of this, he was a hot-blooded
newly married man who lived in celibacy
for a long time who's unwilling to wait till
they were in their suite room. There and then,he made it possible to pleasure his wife as it pleasured him despite the fast
movement of the elevator upward.
They were at the last floor on top of the Retro Hotel that's why the elevator had stopped. They went out swiftly by carrying Leigh on his arms, in a bridal
style. He was kissing her as he swiped the card key in his hotel room.
Closing the door, they helped each other to get rid of their wedding attire to
enjoy love making, skin to skin, feeling the friction caused by his penetration's movement.
"Aren't we going to use a protection?"
Leigh asked her naively.
"Honey, using a protection is too late. Remember that I didn't use it either the first time we made love? Besides, they
were already asking a grandchild from us."
"I thought you'll allow me to work?"
Leigh insisted.
"You will work. You'll be a career woman but at the same time my wife and the mother to our child."
Kenneth and Leonor were resting in their bedroom with happiness, pride, and
fulfillment plastered on their face.
