All the guests were sitting on their places and were waiting for the
bride. I, Diego, the groom, was also sat down in the first row, next to my
parents. Everyone looked at me and I could hear their breaths and their
hearts beating. Every second felt like hours and I became more nervous, as
I saw the priest come before the aisle. Everyone was quiet as they waited
for "her", but Aurora still didn't appear before the aisle and everyone
was getting more and more tense.
It felt like the whole church stopped breathing as the big doors open and
Aurora entered the aisle. She looked like an angel, a beautiful angel. Her
hair was shiny golden, her dress as white as snow and the veil on her head
making her look like a goddess descending from heaven. My throat felt dry
when I saw her walking to the altar and I could feel how my parents were
smiling proud at me and so were all the guests.
I was the only one who could see her face, since all of our guests only saw
her from the waist down. While the priest read his words the only thing I
could see from Aurora, just beside me, was her suspicious face and her
smile full of anger, as she tried to hide her mocking. I tried to keep myself
calm and hold back my tears of laughter, as I already imagined the first
night of our marriage, where we would argue and shout at each other. The
priest finally says the last words "You may kiss the bride"
The first thing I saw after lifting the veil from her face were her sapphire
green eyes glaring at me and I knew, that all the plans for a normal
marriage were crushed. With all the guests watching us, I leaned in
towards her and kissed her with the least amount of love. To the guests it
looked like a normal kiss and they all started to clap, cheer and celebrate
us. But Aurora and me knew, that this won't end well and we both knew,
that this night is going to be one hell. I didn't expect any resistance from
her, so I wanted to continue the kiss for a bit longer. However, Aurora bit
me in my tongue and started trying to break the kiss, but my tongue was
still in her mouth. I felt my blood flowing out from the bite, but I didn't
feel any pain. I just wanted to continue and continue this kiss in order to
show Aurora, that she isn't stronger than me. We had to break the kiss,
because all the guests had their eyes on us and started clapping and
cheering even more. After everything that happened today, we just went
back to the seats, sat down between our parents and waited until dinner
and dancing began. Everyone celebrated our marriage and no one knew
what could happen after all the guests leaving. Would there be an
argument? Would there be a fight? Everyone was celebrating, but Aurora
and me knew, that at some point we'd sit alone in our bedroom, full of
hate for each other.
While we waited, Aurora was sitting there looking at me with hate in her
eyes. My parents were sitting there thinking this was going to be the
happiest day of both of our lives, while we both were dreading it,
imagining in what hell we both got ourselves in. We couldn't even look at
each other, without fighting, so we had to pretend to smile, while our
guests started to arrive for the dinner and for the dance afterwards.
I had to laugh to myself, as Aurora feeds me her food and pretends to be
my loving wife. We sat there and had to pretend, that we really wanted to
marry each other and that we love each other so much. While I couldn't
even look at her without getting angry, Aurora tried to keep up the
facade for all the other guests, who thought we were so perfect for each
other, they just didn't know what was boiling within us.
Everyone is waiting for the first dance, especially Aurora. She looks
smug as she sees me get up and she already knows, that this will be her
next chance to mock me. I know she doesn't want to dance with me, but I
refuse to give her that satisfaction, so I grab her hand and lead her to the
dance floor. We are both dressed perfectly and everyone in the hall was
looking at us, thinking that this will be our happiest night ever. However,
we both knew, that at some point when we are alone, everything would go
wrong, but for now we had to play this facade.
When we are finally dancing and everything still looks perfect, Aurora
comes close to me and whispers these words to me" „I take the bed, you
sleep on the couch" . I knew exactly, what she meant with her words, but I
couldn't help but laugh. I knew she just tried to start a fight, but this made
me calm down a little bit and I didn't feel mad anymore. I just started to
dance with her again, even more relaxed than before. All our guests were
amazed by our perfect dance, they all thought that we were so in love.
However Aurora and me both knew, that this was far from true. In reply,
I just laughed out loud and whispered back to Aurora: "No thank you
Aurora, I would rather stay in my bed next to you, than go to the couch
and sleep alone". I knew that this is the perfect way to start an argument
with her, but I also couldn't stop smiling, because in my mind, I already
imagined how Aurora would get angry and we would start a fight, just
like we do everytime . As our dance ended, everyone started to applaud us
for the great dance and we both smiled for our guests.
When Aurora whispered to me „ What about cutting the bed in half", I
just knew we were entering a new stage in our "love life". I laughed and
whispered back to her: "Oh Aurora, I love how you start these dumb
fights. You know that I would never agree to this". To our guests, we still
looked like the happy couple that is about to spend their first night
together, while in reality, Aurora and me were already planning our
arguments and fights to come.
When Aurora hit me in a "playful" way, I was not surprised at all. I knew
that she hated me so much, that she wouldn't hesitate to hurt me.
However while our guests saw this playful and loving hit, I knew, that it
wasn't out of love at all. In that moment our guests wouldn't even have
thought, what would happen, as soon as everyone would leave, but
Aurora and me both knew, what fight we would have in a few hours.
Everyone watched as we both cut the first slice of the wedding cake
together, they all had an expression of "aw" on their faces, thinking how
adorable we look. Aurora and me knew, that nothing about this was
adorable and that we both hated each other, as soon as the guests left.
Still we kept on smiling and acting as if we loved each other, since that
would be less suspicious in front of our guests. After the cake was cut, all
our guests clapped and cheered for this moment and we both had to look
happy and glad.
Of all people, our parents were the most proud of us. Everyone sat there
and thought about how perfect the wedding was and how in love we were
with each other. They didn't know that it was all a lie and that Aurora and
I hated each other, but they wouldn't believe us if we told them that. They
thought, that this is what happens when two people finally get married
after years of waiting. Both of our mothers had tears of joy, while our
fathers just smiled proudly at us. Nobody knew what was actually
happening, only the both of us.
It was 3 am, everyone left and we both were completely exhausted from all
the fighting during the wedding and from our exhausting first day of
marriage. But even though we were so tired, we both couldn't sleep. We
were both in our wedding outfits, sitting on the living room couch, looking
at each other. We both hated each other so much, but we were too tired to
fight. We hated each other so much, that there was no way to say which
one of us was going to start the first fight, even though we both knew that
we would start one eventually.
As we were both too tired to even think normally, Aurora just looked at
me for a while and tried to find a way to start a fight. She was trying to
remember about all the things that I did to piss her off during the
wedding, but she was too tired to even think clearly. She tried to find a
reason why she should fight me, but just couldn't remember and that's
when she sighed. In that moment, I couldn't help but smile, because this
whole situation just made me laugh.
She then said angrily: "You... You..." and again, she couldn't find a reason
for a fight. Her brain was exhausted and I already knew, that we wouldn't
sleep yet. She was probably searching for a reason why we should start the
next fight and she was getting very close to finding it. She looked at me
once again and with all the energy she had left said through gritted teeth:
"You are.... You are ...." but she couldn't even finish her sentence. She was
so tired, that at this point she didn't even know what she wanted to be
mad at me.
She then just sighed and gave me a little smile. She still hated me so much
and she knew that sooner or later we'd start yet another fight. We both
knew, that even though we looked so happy during the whole wedding,
nothing was actually alright. Still she surrendered this time, because of her
exhaustion. I returned the little smile and looked at her with a smug face,
knowing that I won again. However, I couldn't help but notice, that I
looked at her as she still had her smile, and I saw her eyes. And for the first
time, I felt something else for Aurora...
As Aurora started to walk away upstairs to sleep, I looked at her. And
even though I still hated her, I just took in her beauty as she was walking
away. I couldn't help myself but stare at her as she walked away and at
that moment I felt something different for her. It wasn't love or hate, just
something I had never felt towards her. It was something that made me
want to go after her.... I hated it. I hated that I could feel something else
for Aurora other than pure hatred....
"Aurora wait....". As I called out her name, she stopped, not turning
around but already knowing, that I wanted to start something. I couldn't
stand it, that she was so beautiful while I hated her so much. She started
to turn around and to face me with a smug smile on her face. She knew,
that I wanted to talk to her and that I wanted to say more. But she
wouldn't give me that chance, as she simply smiled and said: "Sorry, my
husband, but I need sleep" before turning around again and continuing to
walk upstairs.
In that moment, I wanted to chase her and do what I always did. Shout and
fight with her, but this time I was paralyzed by my feelings towards her.
Her beauty, her smirk, her face... I wanted more, but I had to fight it. I had
to fight the feeling that I actually loved her in this moment, but I didn't
know how to do it. I wanted to shout and fight with her, to show her that I
will always hate her, but I couldn't. I just stood there paralyzed, not
knowing what to do...
My face became serious and I put all my strength into my next words
which weren't even true. My voice was cold but still full of hatred, as the
whole of our marriage. "Aurora, I expect my wife to tuck me in bed. Don't
forget, that you have to give your loving husband his good night kisses" I
said with the most serious voice I ever had. There wasn't even a hint of
hesitation in my voice. It was as if I meant everything I just said and I
knew exactly, how Aurora would react.
As I saw Aurora turn around to look at me, I knew, that I was successful.
My words hurt her. She hated me and I hated her and I wasn't about to
break this facade. That's why I spoke those words to her, even though they
weren't true, but I wanted to see the anger in her face. And I was
successful. When she turned around and looked at me I saw the pure
hatred in her eyes. That hatred, that looked like it could destroy
everything around her, it just made me smile.
Aurora did what I had expected. She opened the door and walked up the
stairs towards our bedroom. However, as she opened the door for me, she
said: "Go on", just as if this was normal. The hatred I had seen in her eyes
just moments before, was now gone, as she led me up the stairs towards
our bedroom. We both knew, that she would try again to start a fight while
we were both in bed, but for now she had to wait. I followed Aurora
upstairs and into our bedroom.
Aurora walked into our bedroom without looking at me and then slowly
sat down on her side of the bed. She wanted to start right here and now,
but she didn't want to be the first one to start a fight. So she just turned to
me and said: "Alright my dear husband". She said this with an obvious
sarcastic tone in her voice, her expression full of hate and she was staring
directly into my eyes. She was waiting for me to make my first step, so she
could attack...
As Aurora said these words, I knew exactly, what she wanted. She wanted
to make me angry to start a fight with her. And the most annoying thing
was, that she knew I couldn't stand the fact, that I actually liked her at
that moment. That's why I couldn't let her win, I had to do something.
Before Aurora could react, I jumped on her and wrapped her with our
blanket. Once I had her covered to her waist, I looked her in the eyes and
said: "My dear... Wife, I want... To.....".
I stopped her from speaking by wrapping her even more into the blanked
and just laughed. She tried to shout something, while staring at me with a
mixture of surprise, disbelief and pure hatred. She couldn't understand,
what just happened, but she could feel herself being pushed deeper into
the blanket. That was my plan all along, because I wasn't going to allow
Aurora the first punch, not right now after our wedding. She tried to
break out of the blanket, but it was too heavy and soon enough I had her
wrapped completely, making her look like a perfect and cute burrito.
Aurora was wrapped completely. Only her face and her upper chest were
visible, while she was completely wrapped in the blanket. She tried to get
out, but she just couldn't. And she didn't just try to fight me, she tried to
kick me, punch me and shout at me, but I just wrapped her even more into
a cute burrito. She couldn't move, couldn't fight, couldn't shout and could
just look at me, while I was looking at her smiling widely, looking very
proud of my plan. She says „
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT... I swear i won't try to choke you while ill tuck you in
the bed"
I finally relaxed for a moment and smiled again, as I saw how cute Aurora
looked, while being wrapped up in the blanket. Just to annoy her once
again, I said: "Hmm, do I believe you? I don't... I think you will try to attack
me anyways." That's when Aurora tried to convince me once again, that
she couldn't and wouldn't do any of these things. Yet I knew, that she
would. She couldn't resist the urge to destroy things...
"You know what, let's just give it a try". As I said these words, I started to
untie Aurora from the blanket completely, while being careful that she
wouldn't be able to escape too easily. Even though I untied her completely,
she hadn't started attacking me yet. She was still looking at me with a
surprised face. I couldn't help, but think "Is that really all she has? Is she
unable to start a fight now?". I didn't have an answer yet. I untied her legs
and arms from the blanket and she still just looked at me...
Once Aurora didn't do anything else, I lay down on the bed, thinking "She
probably still has a plan. She wants to get even with me. She wants to tuck
me in bed and then make fun of me." I looked at her again, and after she
saw how I lay down on the bed, she walked towards me and started to tuck
me in. As she did this, she looked at me directly in the eye with a smirk on
her face and a sarcastic tone in her voice said: "Now, my dear husband, I
need to tuck you in and give you your good night kisses."
At that moment, I closed my eyes and leaned towards Aurora as if I
wanted her to kiss me on the lips. I wanted to see what she would do now
that I acted like I wanted her to kiss me. Her eyes got even bigger, as she
realized that I actually wanted her to kiss me. She looked at me for a
moment, while she still tucked me into bed, but after a moment of not
knowing, what to do, she leaned towards me and gave me a quick kiss on
my lips.
As her kiss touched my lips, I had to think of our first wedding kiss. I
couldn't forget, how she bit my tongue to stop me from wanting to fight.
Even though we were now married, I couldn't resist taking my revenge.
That's why as soon as her tongue made contact with mine, I quickly bit her
tongue as hard as I could. And as I saw the shock on her face and the
bleeding on her tongue, I couldn't help myself but laughing. And in that
moment, I knew, I started a fight once again... My dear wife rolls her eyes
and says „You're the worst".
"Hahaha, you deserved that Aurora! Now go and enjoy your tongue that I
just bit! Hahaha, take that!" I couldn't help myself but speak to her in such
a mean way, after all she deserved it. I had to start a fight and she just
gave me the perfect opportunity. That's why even though every sane
person knew, that fighting on their wedding night was not normal, I still
couldn't control myself. After all, why should I? That's how I've always
done it with Aurora... . She is annoyed and replies with „Whatever sleep.
It's almost 4 am"
I looked at Aurora who had a mixture of hatred and surprise on her face.
While I couldn't smile, I made the best smirk I could make while saying:
"Why yes my dear wife, it is 4 am and I can't sleep after our exciting
wedding. Why don't you try your best, to make me fall asleep?" Now I was
waiting for her reply. I hoped, that she would start a huge fight, that
would end once again with us completely destroyed, but the only thing
that was missing were her words. She just looked at me and then turned
around to leave the room...
As soon as her face turned away from me, I started to get a little worried.
What was she up to? I couldn't understand why she didn't start the fight
yet. And at that moment, I felt a big and soft object falling onto my face. It
was her pillow. I realized, what she was doing, and before I could react, she
already hit me as hard as she could with her pillow. I tried to move the
pillow, but at that moment I was still too slow... Aurora threatens me
with the pillow „SLEEP OR ELSE.... At 10 we have to greet our parents so... "
As the pillow hit me, I looked at Aurora who had a huge smile on her face
and was just looking at me. It was obvious that she wanted me to go sleep
and fast. I looked at the clock and saw, that it was almost 4 am. At this
point I was still angry and didn't feel tired at all. That's why I couldn't
believe, that Aurora wanted me to go sleep, just like that. "That's funny
Aurora, but no. I don't think I want to sleep right now." I answered in a
cold and annoyed tone...
I started to laugh, as Aurora and I both pulled each others hair on the
bed. The bed creaked, as the mattress and bed frame almost broke
because both of us were pulling at each other with all our strength. As
Aurora pulled my hair, I looked at her and thought of all the fights we
had before our marriage. While the servants thought, that we were just
being intimate and loving, Aurora and I knew, that we just started a new
fight. We were still both pulling each others hair, while we almost fell off
the bed...
